Statistical skin-return results for retrodirective cross-eye jamming

Abstract

The effect of the return from the platform on which a cross-eye jammer is mounted is significant in many practical cross-eye jamming scenarios. However, all published analyses of skin-return affected cross-eye jamming have significant limitations. These limitations are addressed by deriving equations for the distribution of the cross-eye gain in the presence of skin return. The value of these results is demonstrated by using them to gain insight into how skin return affects cross-eye jamming.
