  • Deception jamming against anti-ship missiles which use doppler beam sharpening modes 
    Frazer, Gareth (2020-02)
    Missile seekers are becoming increasingly more capable of using Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS) modes as part of the homing cycle, which requires new countermeasures against this mode. One type of countermeasure, is to create ...
  • Deception jamming against doppler beam sharpening radars 
    Frazer, Gareth; Balleri, Alessio; Jacob, George S. (IEEE, 2019-09-16)
    Missile seekers are becoming increasingly more capable of using Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS) modes as part of the homing cycle. This paper develops jamming theory and uses it for practical implementation of inserting false ...
