description Distributed beamforming has emerged as a pivotal technology in modern communication systems, radar applications, and collaborative electronic warfare. Through distributed collaboration, these jamming nodes composed of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can execute flexible electronic jamming toward wireless communication systems despite energy limitations. However, they encounter challenges such as time and positioning inaccuracies, which can diminish the synthesis power of jamming beams and reduce jamming effectiveness. This paper examines the impact of angle and distance errors on jamming effectiveness, deriving upper error bounds under various suppression coefficients. The findings offer practical guidelines for enhancing the precision and effectiveness of distributed beamforming systems in electronic warfare applications.
