An Anti-Interrupted-Sampling Repeater Jamming Method Based on Simulated Annealing–2-Optimization Parallel Optimization of Waveforms and Fractional Domain Extraction by Ziming Yin, Pengcheng Guo, Yunyu Wei, Sizhe Gao, Jingjing Wang, Anxiang Xue, Kuo Wang

“…However, existing intra-pulse agile signals suffer from high autocorrelation sidelobe levels and limited jamming suppression capabilities. These issues restrict the performance of intra-pulse agile signals in complex electromagnetic environments.This paper proposes an anti-interrupted-sampling repeater jamming method based on Simulated Annealing–2-optimization (SA-2opt) parallel optimization of waveforms and fractional domain extraction. …”
