Ground moving target indication (GMTI) has been extensively applied in modern warfare. In this letter, a novel deceptive jamming technique for countering multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-GMTI is presented, which is implemented with the frequency diverse array (FDA). Different from the phased array (PA), FDA modulates the transmitting signal with multiple frequencies across its array elements, which, consequently, enables range-dimension false target deception for SAR imaging. Furthermore, to achieve effective deception for the GMTI, micromotion modulation is adopted to simulate dynamic features of the moving targets. Mathematical derivation and simulation results show that the proposed technique can efficiently produce massive false targets in both the range and azimuth dimensions.
