Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / This thesis is devoted to analyzing the problem of masking a reflected radar signal,
in order to degrade the radar receiver's performance. This is to be accomplished by appropriately
choosing the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of a power constrained colored
noise interference to be generated either by the target itself or by pre-positioned
"friendly" noise makers. The goal in either case is to generate interference signals that
result in decreased receiver probability of detection, P(D), for a given receiver probability
of false alarm, P(F). Efforts to identify appropriate PSD's of the power constrained interference
were carried out by evaluating the receivers' P(D) as a function of P(F) for two
specific target models. The performance results for the various receivers investigated
demonstrate that the noise interference generated by the noise makers can achieve significant
levels of degradation, while the target generated noise interference tends to improve
rather than degrade the radar receiver's performance. In all cases considered, the
sine squared shaped noise interference PSD is more effective at degrading the receiver
performance than any other kind of PSD analyzed. / http://archive.org/details/performanceofrad00mavr / Captain, Hellenic Army
