Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and particularly relates to a multi-fast-beat iterative array element amplitude-phase error estimation method for time domain dimension reduction.
Background
With the rapid development of information science and technology, defense has been in the information era. As a key device for winning modern information-based wars, the airborne early warning radar is regarded as an information acquisition interest device capable of controlling battlefield situations by the military of various countries and countries according to the unique strategic characteristics of the airborne early warning radar. The clutter suppression performance is a main factor influencing whether the airborne early warning radar can normally look down to work. The space-time adaptive processing STAP technology firstly proposed by Brennan and Reed can effectively inhibit ground clutter coupled at space time, and is a prototype of the STAP method.
Many of the STAP methods of the subsequent research are built on the basis of ideal models, and the STAP methods do not consider the systematic errors existing in the actual airborne radar system. Common error types of airborne radar systems include array element position error, mutual coupling effect, amplitude-phase error, directional diagram beam pointing error and the like, the system errors can influence clutter suppression performance of an ideal model-based STAP method, and the system errors can cause the problems that a self-adaptive algorithm cannot keep target gain and signal-to-noise-ratio is reduced. The amplitude-phase error of an array element in the system errors is usually generated due to inconsistent amplitude-phase characteristics among all receiving channels of the array antenna under the influence of the precision of hardware equipment and a processing process. The array element amplitude and phase error is an error independent of the direction, and the correction method thereof can be mainly divided into active correction and self-correction. Active correction is a method for off-line correcting array element errors by using an external precisely known auxiliary source, and the method can achieve better effect theoretically, but has higher performance requirement on the auxiliary source and increases the complexity of the system.

Specifically, after the amplitude-phase error of the array element is accurately estimated, the radar system can correct the error and adopt the STAP technology to carry out effective clutter suppression. The method is an array element amplitude and phase error estimation method based on airborne radar echo data, when only a single data sample is available, a good array element amplitude and phase error estimation effect can be obtained, and the array element amplitude and phase error estimation performance is improved along with the increase of the number of echo data samples.
Furthermore, the invention is an array element amplitude and phase error estimation method which has time domain dimension reduction, higher estimation precision and automatic convergence, and the dimension of the received echo data and the dimension of the clutter representation base matrix are reduced by using the time domain dimension reduction method, so that the calculated amount of the algorithm can be effectively reduced. By utilizing the data of a plurality of range units, the performance of array element amplitude-phase error estimation is better than that of the data of only one range unit, and the condition that clutter distributions of different range unit data are possibly different is considered by the established cost function, so that the method is not only suitable for the positive side array, but also suitable for a non-positive side array airborne radar system. By employing an iterative auto-stop criterion, the algorithm can automatically converge.

solving the optimization function can obtain:
further, when the radar adopts a distance sampling frequency fs2MHz, wavelength lambda of 0.2m, pulse repetition frequency fr2500Hz, 6378km of the earth curvature radius R, 6km of the carrier height H, 125m/s of the carrier speed V, 10 antenna receiving channels, 0.5 times of the wavelength of the array element spacing, d/lambda less than or equal to 0.5, no grating lobe of an antenna directional diagram, 90 degrees of an included angle between the main beam direction and the array surface and a main beam pitch angleIs 0 deg.. The noise to noise ratio is 50dB and the number of pulses is 128 as shown in fig. 2 and 3. In the single sample case, the amplitude error RMSE of the inventive method is-31.3195 and the phase error RMSE is 0.0238. It can be seen that the performance of array element magnitude-phase error estimation using multiple range gate data is better than that of a single sample. The array element amplitude and phase error estimation performance of the method is better and better along with the increase of the number of samples, and the performance of the method gradually tends to be stable when the number of samples is large. The method uses a time domain dimension reduction processing process, reduces the calculated amount, and simultaneously more accurately estimates the amplitude-phase error of the array element, and has obvious advantages.
Still further, when the noise-to-noise ratio is 50dB, the number of samples is 100, as shown in fig. 4 and 5. It can be seen that the method of the present invention has good performance when the number of pulses is small, because the method estimates the amplitude-phase error of the array element by fitting the received space-time data, and the doppler resolution does not have a great influence on the method. The method can accurately estimate the amplitude-phase error of the array element when the number of pulses is small, and the performance of the method is improved along with the increase of the number of pulses.
Further, when the number of pulses is 64, the number of samples is 100, and fig. 6 and 7 are evaluation results. It can be seen that when the noise-to-noise ratio is relatively low, the performance of the method of the present invention is degraded, and at this time, relatively high noise power may affect the clutter component in the echo data, which may result in the reduction of the amplitude-phase consistency of the clutter on different array elements, and may cause difficulty in the estimation process of the array element amplitude-phase error. With the increase of the noise-to-noise ratio, the estimation performance of the array element amplitude-phase error of the method is improved.
Further, when the noise-to-noise ratio is 50dB, the number of samples is 20, and fig. 8 is an evaluation result. It can be seen that the operation time of the method is less than that of the full-dimensional array element amplitude-phase error estimation method, and the effect of reducing the operation time of the method is more obvious along with the increase of the pulse number.
The foregoing is a more detailed description of the invention in connection with specific preferred embodiments and it is not intended that the invention be limited to these specific details. For those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and all shall be considered as belonging to the protection scope of the invention.
