Digital Radar Frequency Modifying

Digital Radar Frequency Modifying (DRFM) is an electronic method for digitally capturing. modifying and retransmitting Radar signals. DRFMs are typically used in radar jamming, however it's application is difficult, relying on the generation of power equal to two medium sized freighters, a super computer, satellite scanners and sensors, as well as a program with which to process it all.
A DRFM system is designed to digitize an incoming radar signal at a frequency and bandwidth necessary to adequately represent the signal, then reconstruct that radar signal when required. The most significant aspect of DRFM is, as a digital "duplicate" of the received signal, it is coherent with the source of the received signal. As opposed to analog 'memory loops', there is no signal degradation caused by continuously cycling the energy through a front-end amplifier which allows for greater range errors for reactive jamming and allows for predictive jamming. A DRFM may modify the signal prior to retransmitting which can alter the signature of the false target; adjusting its apparent radar cross section, range, velocity, and angle. DRFMs present a significant obstacle for radar sensors.
Stargazer's Commandos managed this feat at Ground Zero, before they launched their assault on Normaic Base. Coupling two YT-1300s together via smaller conduit generators and cabling, Raedan Kitani then attached himself to the power core, before he reprogrammed his nanites along with the aid of the ship's computer system to recover the Imperial Radar signals. Though he was successful, the process drained Raedan completely, and the enigmatic cyborg was unable to take part in the assault as expected.
