Other Barrage disambiguation File PioneerBarrage.JPG thumb right 250px A barrage in Rockhampton, Queensland Rockhampton . A wikt barragebarrage is a type of dam which consists of a line of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing the dam. The gates are set between flanking piers which are responsible for supporting the water load. They are often used to control and stabilize water flow of rivers for irrigation systems. According to the World Commission on Dams , a key difference between a barrage and a dam is that a dam is built for storing water in a reservoir , which raises the level of water significantly. A barrage is built for diverting water, and is generally built on flat terrain across wide meander ing rivers, raising the water level only a few feet. ref name SalmanUprety2002 cite book last1 Salman first1 Salman M.

Barrage jamming jamming accomplished by transmitting a band radio band of frequencies that is large with respect to the Bandwidth signal processing bandwidth of a single emitter. Barrage jamming may be accomplished by presetting multiple jammers on adjacent frequencies, by using a single wideband transmitter, or by using a transmitter capable of frequency sweep fast enough to appear radiating simultaneously over wide band e.g. a carcinotron . Barrage jamming makes it possible to jam emitters on different frequencies simultaneously and reduces the need for operator assistance or complex control equipment. These advantages are gained at the expense of reduced jamming power physics power at any given frequency . Barrage jamming has to be used against frequency agile radars, which change frequencies too quickly to follow them in a conventional way. The use of Barrage jamming may also affect the communications capability of the jamming source in a negative fashion.
