Description

Method for forming and estimating angle of split-dimension self-adaptive monopulse beam
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of digital beam forming, and particularly relates to a method for forming a split-dimensional self-adaptive monopulse beam and estimating an angle.
Background
Modern radars face complex and various interferences in electronic warfare, different interferences can enter from side lobes or main lobes of beams, even appear in the main lobes and the side lobes at the same time, and if the interferences cannot be effectively inhibited, the tracking effect of a target can be greatly affected. In order to ensure the effect of target angle estimation and tracking of the radar, the method has important significance for developing a target angle estimation method under the condition of main lobe and side lobe interference.
The angle estimation of the target usually adopts a monopulse angle measurement method, and conventional adaptive beam forming can generate null at the interference angle when main lobe interference exists, but the distortion of the main lobe is inevitably caused, and further the distortion of a monopulse curve is caused. Zhou Bilei, li Rongfeng et al propose a subarray level sum-difference and auxiliary beam joint adaptive monopulse algorithm. The method is based on a subarray dimension reduction method, and utilizes a high gain difference wave beam obtained by subarray synthesis and auxiliary wave beams which are synthesized by a plurality of subarrays and point to a plurality of sidelobe interference directions to cancel main-sidelobe interference. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the method can effectively inhibit the interference of main and auxiliary lobes and ensure the single pulse angle measurement capability, and solves the problem caused by the multiple array elements of the phased array system radar by utilizing the method of sub-array dimension reduction processing. Chen Xinzhu and the like respectively perform one-dimensional self-adaptive beam forming and one-dimensional difference beam forming on the uniform rectangular area array row and the uniform rectangular area array column, so that not only can the interference of a main lobe and a side lobe be inhibited in one dimension, but also the linearity of a single pulse ratio curve of the other-dimensional difference beam is ensured, but when the interference angle is the same as that of a target in one dimension, the angle measurement performance of the other dimension is deteriorated.
