Description

Array directional diagram synthesis method based on hybrid differential evolution algorithm and weighted total least square method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and particularly relates to an array directional diagram synthesis method based on a hybrid differential evolution algorithm and a weighted total least square method.
Background
In the past, antenna array patterns have been of interest due to their integration into radar and communication applications. Among them, the design of conformal antenna arrays is a great challenge for researchers. Since the conformal array has a curved surface, each antenna in the array points in a different direction. Thus, conventional planar array theory does not provide a typical array radiation pattern synthesis approach thereto. In addition, in a receiving system, the radiation pattern of the antenna array sometimes requires beamforming nulls. Interference suppression can then be achieved by controlling the null position to point in the direction of the interfering signal. This presents difficulties for the optimization algorithm because the null level is well below the side and main lobes. In the field of antenna array synthesis, many analysis methods have been proposed that can implement typical array synthesis, such as chebyshev, fourier transform, and the like. The parsing method has a remarkable advantage in convergence speed, but its application is limited. And carrying out iterative solution by a Least Squares Method (LSM) to obtain a good linear array comprehensive result. However, as the conformal array synthesis faces different array element postures, the analytic method is difficult to directly apply, so that the use is limited. The Total Least Squares (TLSM) method adopts a direct method to solve the array synthesis problem, but is not suitable for processing the conformal array synthesis problem due to the existence of weights such as matrixes.
In the development of conformal array design technology, many scholars propose a conformal array synthesis algorithm based on a biomimetic optimization algorithm. Such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization algorithms, differential evolution algorithms, etc. Among other things, differential Evolution (DE) algorithms are used to solve many different types of optimization problems, such as sub-array linear antenna array design, axis parallel decision trees, multi-mode optimization problems, and searching for optimal locations of battery exchange sites within a certain area.
Because the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is simple in principle, few in control parameters and easy to understand and realize, the method can effectively solve the problems of complex function optimization, global optimization and multi-objective optimization. While the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm performs well in maintaining population diversity and global search capability, it converges at a slower rate for some complex problems, such as pattern synthesis for conformal antenna arrays. To synthesize complex arrays, various optimization methods have been proposed. For example, the modified NSGA-II algorithm may be used to optimize a conformal phased array antenna. A blind beam forming method based on a linear constraint minimum variance algorithm. However, some biomimetic optimization algorithms have slow convergence rates, limiting the application of these algorithms.
The current method for synthesizing the processing directional diagram has low convergence speed and poor convergence precision, and when the method is applied to a linear array, the Side Lobe Level (SLL), main lobe and null (beam width and direction) of the antenna array cannot be effectively controlled, and the Side Lobe Level (SLL) and null depth are reduced.

The advantages of the invention can be further illustrated by the following simulations:
in order to verify the effectiveness of the method, a 20-array element uniform linear array with ideal point sources was simulated. Which requires a combination of low sidelobe levels and nulls. To further test the performance of the algorithm, a conformal truncated cone array was established. The algorithm obtains an embedded pattern by using a High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), and improves the comprehensive precision.
1. Linear array
To verify the performance of the HDE-WTLSM algorithm, a uniform linear array of 20 elements was used to achieve low sidelobe level and null pattern synthesis.
The fitness function is as follows:
fitness=U(F 0 (θ)-F d (θ))[αmax|SLL-DSLL|+βmax|NULL-DNULL|]
wherein the method comprises the steps of
Figure BDA0002645084480000101
F 0 (θ) and F d (θ) is the obtained and desired array pattern, respectively. SLL represents the resulting side lobe level, DSLL represents the desired side lobe level, and NULL represents the zero pit depth optimized by the optimization algorithm. DNULL represents the desired null depth. Alpha and beta represent the weights of the sidelobe levels and the nulling depths.
Since a symmetrical array is used, only the amplitude of 10 elements has to be optimized. And the excitation profile is centrosymmetric with respect to the array.
(1) Low sidelobe level (SLL)
The first example is low sidelobe level synthesis. In this example, the number of individuals in each population is 150, f=0.6, cr=0.8, α=1, β=0. Desired side lobe level dsll= -50dB. The main beam width is limited to-12 deg. to 12 deg..
After optimization, the low side lobe level integrated normalized radiation pattern is shown in fig. 2, and the corresponding convergence curve is shown in fig. 3. It can be seen from the figure that the sidelobe level of the HDE-WTLSM algorithm is about 11dB lower than that of the DE algorithm, and that the convergence rate of the HDE-WTLSM algorithm is faster than that of the DE algorithm.
(2) Null sinking
The second example is null synthesis. In this example, the population is 150, f=0.6, cr=0.8, dsll= -50dB, null= -80dB. The main beam width is limited to-15 degrees to 15 degrees, the zero point width is 10 degrees, and the normalized array directional diagram of the nulling combination is shown in figure 4. The convergence curve of the nulling complex is shown in figure 5. In this example, both low sidelobe level synthesis and cross polarization suppression are achieved using the HDE-WTLSM algorithm. The HDE-WTLSM algorithm also performed better than the DE algorithm, with the results from both the first and second examples from Matlab.
2. Conformal truncated cone array
To verify the optimization of the algorithm to the complex problem, a conformal truncated cone array antenna was established, which is 39 right circularly polarized (RHCP) antennas. In the embodiment, the single-port circularly polarized array element is adopted to reduce half of unknown quantity. The structure of the antenna and array is shown in fig. 6. The upper radius of the cone is 280mm, and the lower radius is 360mm. The height of the cone is 400mm. The center operating frequency is 1.575GHz. The algorithm is used to achieve low sidelobe level and low cross polarization synthesis.
The fitness function is as follows
fitness=U(F 0 (θ)-F d (θ))[αmax|SLL-DSLL|+βmax|CROSS-DCROSS|]
Where CROSS represents the CROSS polarization level optimized by the HDE-WTLSM algorithm. DCROSS represents the desired cross-polarization level. Alpha and beta represent the weights of the sidelobe levels and the cross-polarization levels.
In this example, the number of individuals in each population is 100, f=0.6, cr=0.8, α=1, β=0. Desired side lobe level dsll= -25dB. The main beam width is limited to-18 deg. to 18 deg., the desired cross polarization level DCROSS = -23dB.
Unlike planar arrays, when a conformal truncated cone array is fed uniformly, there is a depression in the z-direction of the array radiation pattern due to polarization effects. As shown in fig. 7 and 8. The angle between co-polarizations of the antennas is different due to the different orientations of the antennas in the conformal array. The cross-polarization results are identical. This illustrates that polarization is the most difficult problem in conformal antenna array synthesis. If polarization is not considered in conformal antenna array synthesis, many unexpected results will be produced.
The HDE-WTLSM algorithm is then used to reduce the effects of cross polarization in the array. At the same time, it is desirable to have a low sidelobe level result in the main polarization direction. After synthesis, the simulation results show one main lobe in the z-direction for co-polarization. And the cross-polarization level is reduced by about 20dB. The results of fig. 7-10 were obtained from the HFSS, which included an active pattern for each antenna. The simulation examples above demonstrate that the algorithm can function in both ideal point source arrays and actual conformal antenna arrays. The convergence curves for the DE algorithm and the HDE-WTLSM algorithm for the conformal array are shown in FIG. 11. It can be seen from the figure that the convergence rate of the HDE-WTLSM algorithm is faster.
As can be seen from the simulation examples, the method can be applied to the problem of low side lobe level and null pattern synthesis of a 20-element linear array, and can also optimize a conformal truncated cone array to obtain low side lobe level and cross polarization level synthesis. Experiments also show that the HDE-WTLSM algorithm is a very effective algorithm and has the advantage of high convergence rate.
