Description

Self-adaptive sum and difference beam forming method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radars, in particular to a self-adaptive sum and difference beam forming method.
Background
The radar plays a very important role in target detection and tracking, and with the development of radar technology, phased array radars are increasingly applied to practical engineering projects. At present, increasingly severe and complex working environments put higher requirements on the performance of the radar: the radar also has the capability of self-adaptive interference suppression while finishing the functions of searching, intercepting, tracking, guiding and the like.
The sum and difference beam angle measurement technology has the advantages of simplicity, reliability, small operand, high data rate and the like, so that the sum and difference beam angle measurement technology is widely applied to phased array radars to estimate relevant parameters of targets and has important military and civil values. The sum and difference angle measurement is to form a sum beam and a difference beam at the output end by a certain method, wherein the sum beam is generally called to form a main lobe in the target direction, the difference beam is called to form a null in the target direction, a certain value is obtained by the ratio of the sum beam to the difference beam, and then the target angle is found by looking up a table. When the sum and difference beam angle measurement technology is used in the phased array radar, external interference can affect the performance of beam forming. For the interference with the known position, the influence of the interference on the performance of the radar array can be greatly reduced by generating the beam zero point at the corresponding angle. However, in many cases, the location of the disturbance is unknown. To solve this problem, adaptive null-forming techniques including adaptive digital beam-forming (ADBF) and space-time adaptive processing (STAP) techniques have been proposed. The self-adaptive zero point forming technology enables a directional diagram null point of the radar antenna to be aligned to the interference direction in a self-adaptive mode on the premise of ensuring the large gain receiving of the expected signal, so that the interference is restrained or the strength of the interference signal is reduced. Relevant researches show that when the zero point (except the center zero point) of the difference beam is positioned at the position of the sum beam zero point, the radar has higher output signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio and strong anti-interference performance. However, in an actual scenario, array errors including cell amplitude and phase errors, cell position errors, and inter-cell mutual coupling inevitably exist, in this case, the sum and difference beam nulls deviate from the ideal position, the misalignment phenomenon is more serious, and it is difficult to align the sum and difference beam nulls by the existing adaptive beam forming method. Meanwhile, array errors can also cause the elevation of the sidelobe level of the sum and difference beams, so that the self-adaptive interference suppression performance of the radar array is greatly reduced.

And 3, calculating a zero point constraint covariance mean matrix of the zero point constraint covariance matrix by using the zero point constraint covariance matrix and the array error vector.
And 4, constructing a tapering matrix, and tapering the zero constraint covariance mean matrix by using the tapering matrix to obtain the zero constraint covariance mean matrix after tapering.
Step 5, constructing a low-sidelobe zero alignment and beam constraint optimization model and a low-sidelobe zero alignment difference beam constraint optimization model according to a target optimization criterion by using the zero constraint covariance mean matrix after the tapering processing; the optimization criterion is that the array of phased array radars can radiate the minimum energy from the desired zero point under the condition of meeting the desired target-oriented undistorted response.
Step 6, solving the low sidelobe zero alignment and beam constraint optimization model to obtain a sum beam forming optimal weight vector, and calculating the low sidelobe zero alignment and beam by using the sum beam forming optimal weight vector; and solving the low sidelobe zero alignment difference beam constraint optimization model to obtain a difference beam forming optimal weight vector, and calculating the low sidelobe zero alignment difference beam by using the difference beam forming optimal weight vector.
