Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A radar system is made of many elemental and hard/software technologies. Recent applications are expanding to short-distance radar, such as security, nondestructive observation, and aerial monitoring, as well as long-distance radar, such as remote sensing, surveillance, and weather observation. In these various applications, the key technologies supporting radar are essentially the signal, image, and data processing in order to detect a target more explicitly, which includes synthetic aperture imaging, compressive sensing, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) processing, and radar beam scanning, in a broad sense. On the other hand, radar cross-section (RCS) evaluation and electromagnetic modeling technologies of radar targets are also important to develop future smart radar.

The aim of this Special Issue of Electronics is to present state-of-the-art investigations in various radar-important technologies for future applications. We invite researchers to contribute original and unique articles, as well as sophisticated review articles. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Radar imaging technology.
Inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging.
Inverse electromagnetic scattering.
Short-distance radar.
Collision-avoidance radar.
Subsurface and ground penetrating radar.
Microwave remote sensing image analysis.
RCS near-field to far-field transformation.
Radar electromagnetic modeling and simulation.
Target recognition.
Radar data fusion.

Abstract

In an electronic jamming system, the ability to adequately perceive information determines the effectiveness of an electronic countermeasures strategy. This paper proposes a new method based on the combination of a multi-agent electronic jammer and an information sharing mechanism. With the development of intelligent technology and deep learning, these technologies have been applied in electronic countermeasure game systems. Introducing intelligent technology into the electronic confrontation system can greatly improve decision-making efficiency. At the same time, a multi-agent electronic countermeasure cooperative system based on the information sharing method can break through the limited information perception capabilities of a single agent, thereby greatly improving the survivability of jamming systems in electronic warfare. Experimental results show that our method requires a lower jamming-to-signal ratio than the single jammer method to achieve effective electronic jamming. In addition, the electronic jamming parameters can be updated automatically as the external electromagnetic environment changes quickly, realizing a more intelligent electronic jamming system.
