However, most of the anti-jamming methods are proposed in full spatial registration. In practice, the registration error is difficult to eliminate, which will seriously degrade the performance of cooperative anti-jamming. Therefore, it is of great significance to consider the problem of cooperative anti-deception jamming under registration error. In this paper, the cooperative anti-deception jamming method is proposed in a distributed multiple-radar system under registration errors. On the premise of the known registration error, target received signal vectors are estimated from an uncertainty region in each channel by maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm. With the estimated received signal vectors, a target discrimination algorithm is introduced based on the difference in target spatial scattering characteristics, which calculate the correlation coefficient between different target received signal vectors and discriminate a false target with a designed threshold. Furthermore, since the registration error depends on the radar site errors, theoretical derivation for the registration error is given as a function of the transmitter and receiver site errors. Finally, simulation results verify the feasibility of the proposed discrimination method, and its performance due to the influence of the jamming-to-noise ratio (JNR), the registration error, the target size, and the discrimination threshold are considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22197216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T03:34:17Z","timestamp":1664163257000},"page":"7216","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Cooperative Anti-Deception Jamming in a Distributed Multiple-Radar System under Registration Errors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Shanshan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minju","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziwei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communications and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"633","DOI":"10.1109\/22.989948","article-title":"Electronic warfare systems","volume":"50","author":"Spezio","year":"2012","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
