description The consumption of phased array radar (PAR) resources affects the accuracy of its multi-target searching and tracking abilities. The jamming methods aimed at PAR involve deceptive jamming and comprehensive jamming strategies, but have the disadvantages of high cost and complexity. Given this context, this paper proposes a PAR resource consumption method based on phase-switched screen (PSS), and derives a relationship between the targets and the evaluation indicators. By implementing periodic modulation of PSS, a controlled number of deceptive multiple false targets can be generated, thereby enticing the radar system to engage in activities such as searching and tracking targets. When the quantity of false targets is increased, the number of beam requests becomes five times higher than compared to the scenario without false targets. This has also led the margin of time resources to exceed 50%, successfully achieving the objective of consuming radar resources. Furthermore, this method offers straightforward manipulation, flexibility, and the potential to significantly consume radar resources. The efficacy of the proposed method is confirmed with the simulation outcomes.
