Abstract: Stepped frequency chirp signal obtains high-resolution radar images by synthesizing multiple narrowband chirp pulses. It has been one of the most commonly used wideband radar waveforms due to its lower demand for radar instant bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a radar jamming method using two-dimensional nonperiodic phase modulation against stepped frequency chirp signal imaging radar. Using the unique property of nonperiodic phase modulation, the proposed method can generate high-level sidelobes that perform as a special blanket jamming along both the range and azimuth directions and make the target unrecognizable. Then, the influence of different modulation parameters, such as the code width and duty ratio, are further discussed. Based on this, the corresponding parameter design principles are presented. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by the Yake-42 plane data simulation and measured unmanned aerial vehicle data experiment.
