    The interrupted-sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) is a kind of intrapulse coherent deception jamming, it produces false-target peaks, which obfuscate the real target detection and tracking. In this article, a novel recognition method is proposed to identify the false-target peaks caused by ISRJ. The proposed method is realized via the integration decomposition of pulse compression, and the intermediate data in pulse compression are extracted to identify the false-target peaks. Due to the time-sharing transmit–receive antenna of the jammer, the jamming signal is short or discontinuous pieces compared with the real echo. This intrinsic property provides important feature for jamming identification. In the proposed method, a variance value is generated from the intermediate data, to evaluate the temporal energy distribution evenness of the signal component corresponding to each target peak. Real target echo corresponds to small variance whereas the jamming signal corresponds to large variance. In this way, false-target peaks caused by jamming signal can be identified efficiently. Besides, the computational cost of the proposed method is low, thus, it is suitable for real-time applications in practical radar systems. Numerical experiments under different jamming parameters demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed false-target recognition method. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulations under different SNR levels verify the reliable classification capability of the proposed method. In summary, this article provides a new perspective for ISRJ identification, and it is also the proof-of-concept example for other potential applications concerning integration decomposition.
