With increasing complexity of electronic warfare environments, smart jammers are beginning to play an important role. This study investigates a method of power minimization-based jamming waveform design in the presence of multiple targets, in which the performance of a radar system can be degraded according to the jammers’ different tasks. By establishing an optimization model, the power consumption of the designed jamming spectrum is minimized. The jamming spectrum with power control is constrained by a specified signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or mutual information (MI) requirement. Considering that precise characterizations of the radar-transmitted spectrum are rare in practice, a single-robust jamming waveform design method is proposed. Furthermore, recognizing that the ground jammer is not integrated with the target, a double-robust jamming waveform design method is studied. Simulation results show that power minimization-based single-robust jamming spectra can maximize the power-saving performance of smart jammers in the local worst-case scenario. Moreover, double-robust jamming spectra can minimize the power consumption in the global worst-case scenario and provide useful guidance for the waveform design of ground jammers. View Full-Text
