A simulation has been developed to assess the effectiveness of a jammer signal against a conical-scan seeker by testing critical jammer parameters. The critical parameters of a jammer signal are the jam-to-signal (J/S) ratio, the jammer frequency and the jammer duty cycle. It was found that the most effective jammer signal is one with a modulated envelope.enDetectorsJammingFrequency measurementFrequency modulationMissilesMilitary aircraftTarget trackingConference PresentationMalatji, T.
