Digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) is an approach
being adopted by modern electronic attack (EA) systems to combat
pulse-compression radar. A digital radio frequency memory system
receives radar pulses, stores these in a digital delay line,
and retransmits then some time later. This causes the radar
to receive a return that places the target in an
incorrect location.
Pulse compression and pulse coding radars must vary their
compression or coding parameters to minimise the effects of digital
radio frequency memory jamming.
