Interference Suppression via Operating Frequency Selection

Page 637.

Abstract:

Spectral analysis of the environment, often called sniffing, is used to find a clear operating band in radar and communication systems. In this paper, the authors show that the sniffing technique can be used to null multiple broad-band sidelobe jammers by exploiting the transfer function of the antenna. Analysis and computer simulation are used to demonstrate performance.
