Generation Mechanism and Characteristic Analysis of Dual-Frequency Pseudo-Signal Interference of the Swept-Frequency Radar by Hong-Ze Zhao, Guang-Hui Wei, Xiao-Dong Pan, Xue Du, Xu-Xu Lyu

“…The results show that the in-band dual-frequency nonintermodulation interference is similar to the single-frequency interference, and the only difference is that the number of pseudo-signals increases; when the interference frequency difference is about 400∼600 MHz, the out-of-band dual-frequency second-order intermodulation signal will cause “hill” type pseudo-signal interference, and the pseudo-signal distance is random; when the interference frequency difference is less than 5 MHz, both the dual-frequency second-order intermodulation signal and the third-order intermodulation signal will cause “spike” pseudo-signal interference inside and outside the radar operating frequency band; the pseudo-signal distance is fixed.…”
