Cross-eye gain in cross-eye jamming systems is highly dependent on amplitude ratio and the phase difference between jammer antennas. It is well known that cross-eye jamming is most effective for the amplitude ratio of unity and phase difference of 180 degrees. It is assumed that the instabilities in the amplitude ratio and phase difference can be modeled as zero-mean Gaussian random variables. In this paper, we not only quantitatively analyze the effect of amplitude ratio instability and phase difference instability on performance degradation in terms of reduction in cross-eye gain but also proceed with analytical performance analysis based on the first order and second-order Taylor expansion.

Linear differential equations with constant coefficients are very common in physical and chemical science, and of these, the simplest and most frequently met is the first-order equation a dy / dt + y = f(t) , (1) where a is a constant, and f(t) a single-valued function of t . The equation signifies that the quantity y is removed at a rate proportional to the amount present at each instant, and is simultaneously restored at a rate dependent only upon the instant in question. Familiar examples of this equation are the charging of a condenser, the course of a monomolecular reaction, the movement of a light body in a viscous medium, etc. The solution of this equation is easily shown to be y = e - t / a { y 0 = 1 / a ∫ t 0 e t /a f(t) dt , (2) where y 0 is the initial value of y . In the case where f(t) = 0, this reduces to the well-known exponential decay of y .
