Abstract
A method and a system for defense against surface-to-air missiles (Manpads), which represent a threat to military and civil aircraft during takeoff and landing. For missile defense, the missile is jammed by irradiating it with electromagnetic jamming radiation. This jamming radiation may be constituted of continuous-wave irradiation or frequency packets with a defined pulse repetition rate.

A method for defense against surface-to-air missiles (Manpads=Man Portable Air Defense Systems) which represent a threat to military and civil aircraft during takeoff and landing, wherein the missile is jammed by irradiating it with electromagnetic jamming radiation.
A system for defense against surface-to-air missiles (Manpads=Man Portable Air Defense Systems) which represent a threat to military and civil aircraft during takeoff and landing, including an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) (12) and a number of parallel-connected individual modules (14), which each have a phase shifter (16), an amplifier (18) downstream of the phase shifter, an antenna (20) downstream of the amplifier, and a phase detector (22), which is associated with the phase shifter (16).
A system for defense against surface-to-air missiles (Manpads=Man Portable Air Defense System) which represent a threat to military and civil aircraft during takeoff and landing, wherein there are provided a number of parallel-connected individual modules (14), which each have an AWG (12) with an integrated, multi-frequency phase shifter, an amplifier (18) downstream therefrom, and an antenna (20) downstream of the amplifier (18), with the AWGs (12) being synchronized via a master clock (26).
