Abstract: A recognition method of range deception jamming based on augury localization is proposed to solve the range deception jamming problem of bistatic MIMO radar. Bistatic MIMO radar can simultaneously measure the direction of departure(DOD) and direction of arrival(DOA) of the target which means an information surplus. By the way of comparing the limiting error with the difference between the range sum of target calculated using transceiver angles and the range sum measured directly, the recognition for distance deception jamming or the target echo the method can be ultimately realized. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
