Inspired by previous studies on RISs, this study deals with the use of RISs for radar electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCMs) in deception jamming scenarios. At first, a RIS was applied to a monostatic radar, constructing a virtual multi-radar system combined with multi-beam receiving technology. Then, a data-fusion-based deception ECCM method for the proposed virtual multi-radar system was studied to discriminate the active false targets generated by deception jamming. A theoretical analysis of the target discrimination probability was derived. Because the location of RISs is the key to determining the target discrimination ability, the location optimization of the RIS was considered based on the theoretical analysis. Simulation results corroborate the deception ECCM ability of the proposed RIS-assisted virtual multi-radar system, enhancing the survivability of a radar system in a complex electromagnetic environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15215149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]],"date-time":"2023-10-27T11:50:18Z","timestamp":1698407418000},"page":"5149","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Assisted Radar Deception Electronic Counter-Countermeasures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9635-8183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shanshan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Biao","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Ziwei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communications and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}]},{"given":"Jirui","family":"An","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1109\/TAP.2013.2287296","article-title":"Reconfigurable reflectarray and array lens for dynamic antenna beam control: A review","volume":"62","author":"Hum","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
