    Abstract
  • The discontinuous spectrum radar signal is a featured cognitive radar signal. Its spectrum is discontinuous and comprises multiple discrete frequency bands, and the distribution structure of the discrete frequency bands can be adapted to the change of external interference adequately. Therefore, this segmented signal is suitable for dense interference and congested spectrum based spectrum scenarios. The design of discontinuous spectrum signal is focused on two issues: (1) the optimal selection of the discontinuous spectrum structure in accordance with the interference environment to meet the requirements of radar anti-jamming and resolution performance, and (2) the solution of the time-domain emission based on the optimal discontinuous spectrum signal. A typical application of discontinuous spectrum radar signals is the anti-co-frequency interference derived of high-frequency radar. With the upgrade of electronic countermeasures and the spectrum congestion problem caused by the coexistence of multiple electronic devices, discontinuous spectrum signals are used in radar anti-jamming and electromagnetic spectrum compatibility. This paper discusses and summarizes the research on discontinuous signal design criteria and constraints, working frequency band selection and shaping, and time-domain signal waveform synthesis to promote the research and application of discontinuous spectrum signals.
