With traditional radar systems, it is not easy to classify and suppress the intended false targets, especially in case of the mainlobe deceptive jamming. In this paper, the deceptive jamming suppression issue is formulated as a problem of detecting the presence of target signal while rejecting potential deceptive jamming under the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with frequency diverse array (FDA) as the transmit array. The problem at hand is settled by resorting to the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT); at the design stage we define the sets where the false target and true target lie in. Since FDA-MIMO radar provides controllable degrees of freedom in both range and angle domains, the sets are range-angle related. This implies that both range and angle properties can be used to suppress the false targets. Based on the detector, a two-pulse scheme is proposed to guarantee high rejection probability of deceptive jamming. At the analysis stage, the performance of the detector is assessed in comparison with the conventional MIMO scenario and other detectors. The performance assessment shows that the proposed solutions are effective in the presence of electronic countermeasure (ECM) systems, especially when facing mainlobe deceptive jamming.
