Book excerpt: Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar describes a class of radars that have been purposefully designed to be difficult to detect by hostile receivers. This report summarizes some of the LPI techniques and gives examples of currently fielded LPI radars, including airborne, maritime, and land-based radars. Several options are investigated that may help a jammer designer develop an architecture that can lead to a capability to detect and jam LPI radars. Jammer design requirements are discussed with regard to radio frequency bandwidth and video bandwidth.

Taboada and published by . This book was released on 2002-09 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low probability of intercept (LPI) is that property of an emitter that because of its low power, wide bandwidth, frequency variability, or other design attributes, makes it difficult to be detected or identified by means of passive intercept devices such as radar warning, electronic support and electronic intelligence receivers, In order to detect LPI radar waveforms new signal processing techniques are required This thesis first develops a MATLAB toolbox to generate important types of LPI waveforms based on frequency and phase modulation The power spectral density and the periodic ambiguity function are examined for each waveforms These signals are then used to test a novel signal processing technique that detects the waveforms parameters and classifies the intercepted signal in various degrees of noise, The technique is based on the use of parallel filter (sub-band) arrays and higher order statistics (third- order cumulant estimator) Each sub-band signal is treated individually and is followed by the third-order estimator in order to suppress any symmetrical noise that might be present, The significance of this technique is that it separates the LPI waveforms in small frequency bands, providing a detailed time-frequency description of the unknown signal, Finally, the resulting output matrix is processed by a feature extraction routine to detect the waveforms parameters Identification of the signal is based on the modulation parameters detected,

This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars are a class of radar systems that possess certain performance% characteristics causing them to be nearly undetectable by most modern digital intercept receivers, Consequently, LPI radar systems can operate undetected until the intercept receiver is much closer than the radar's target detector, The enemy is thus faced with a significant problem To detect these types of radar, new direct digital receivers that use sophisticated signal processing are required, This thesis describes a novel signal processing architecture, and shows simulation results for a number of LPI waveforms. The LPI signal detection receiver is based on Quadrature Minor Filter Bank (QMFB) Tree processing and orthogonal wavelet techniques to decompose the input waveform into components representing the signal energy in rectangular "tiles" in the time-frequency plane, By analyzing the outputs at different layers of the tree it is possible to do feature extraction, identify and classify the LPI waveform parameters, and distinguish among the various LPI signal modulations Waveforms used as input signals to the detection algorithm include Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave, Polyphase Codes, Costas Codes and Frequency Shift Keying/Phase Shift Keying waveforms. The output matrices resulting from the most relevant layers of the QMFB tree processing are examined and the LPI modulation parameters are extracted under various signal-to-noise ratios,

This thesis investigates the use of cyclostationary processing to extract the modulation parameters from a variety of continuous-wave (CW) low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) radar waveforms.

Book excerpt: The function of a Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar is to prevent its interception by an Electronic Support (ES) receiver. This objective is generally achieved through the use of a radar waveform that is mismatched to those waveforms for which an ES receiver is tuned. This allows the radar to achieve a processing gain, with respect to the ES receiver, that is equal to the time-bandwidth product of the radar waveform. This processing gain allows the LPI radar to overcome the range-squared advantage of the ES receiver in conventional situations. Consequently, a conventional ES receiver can only detect an LPI radar at very short ranges (
Download or read book Classification and Analysis of Low Probability of Intercept Radar Signals Using Image Processing written by Christer Persson and published by . This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristic of low probability of intercept (LPI) radar makes it difficult to intercept with conventional signal intelligence methods so new interception methods need to be developed. This thesis initially describes a simulation of a polytime phase-coded LPI signal. The thesis then introduces a method for classification of LPI radar signals. The method utilizes a parallel tree structure with three separate 'branches' to exploit the image representation formed by three separate detection methods. Each detection method output is pre-processed and features are extracted using image processing. After processing the images, they are each fed into three separate neural networks to be classified. The classification output of each neural network is then combined and fed into a fourth neural network performing the final classification. The outcome of testing shows only 53%, which might be the result of the image representation of the detection methods not being distinct enough, the pre - processing/feature extraction not being able to extract relevant information or the neural networks not being properly trained. The thesis concludes with a brief discussion about a suitable method for image processing to extract significant parameters from a LPI signal.

Download or read book Advanced LPI Low Probability of Intercept Intercept Detector Research written by and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report constitutes the first phase of research conducted by Axiomatix wherein our aim was to derive, evaluate and compare various detector structures whose purpose is to intercept a spread-spectrum communication transmitter. The transmitter under surveillance employs a variety of modulation/spreading/transmission techniques which are invariably assumed to emit the message-bearing signal in deep background noise or interference. Thus, the challenging task of the intercepting detector is to reveal as best he can any transmission of the unfriendly spread waveform in the presence of a strongly obscuring noisy environment. The detectability of the primary candidates for low-probability-of-intercept waveforms, such as direct-sequence, frequency-hopping, time-hopping and their hybrids, is customarily related to two factors: (1) performance level of the interceptor's detector whose only function is to monitor the communicated messages and, (2) amount of signal processing (i.e., complexity) associated with such performance. Thus, the exploitability of a spread-spectrum waveform is measured in terms of the complexity required of the interceptor's receiver, so that it can perform such surveillance, as well as in terms of the level of its power spectral density and the resulting probability of intercept.
