Protection of Transmitting Systems using Ground Bounce Technique
Keywords:
.Abstract
Ground bounce technique is a self-screening or support Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) technique that consists of aiming the ECM antenna in a direction other than the tracking system’s direction in order to deceive the tracking system.
Ground reflection property can be used to deceive angularly a tracking system, either airborne or ground based. To achieve a deception to the tracking system, it is necessary to present to it a greater level of signal coming from the ground (after reflection) than from the aircraft direction.
This paper introduces the analysis of ground reflection of EM waves, parameters optimization of ground bounce technique, and a proposed dual mode of operation for an airborne ECM system.
