Step three: distributed foresight radar geometric configuration optimization solution
The invention adopts a genetic algorithm of nonlinear constraint non-dominated sorting to solve a multi-constraint optimization problem (17) so as to obtain the space geometric configuration parameters of the distributed forward-looking radar.
A. Firstly, initializing geometric configuration optimization design: the geometry optimization design initialization consists of two parts. In one aspect, parameters of a distributed radar system are set. On the other hand, multi-constraint optimization solving algorithm initialization, such as maximum algebra G max Population size K P Optimal solution ratio P γ Cross ratio P c And the variation ratio P m . The initial population of geometry vectors is
Figure BDA0003219070890000102
Randomly generated from the decision space. Wherein, the maximum algebra G max =200, population size K P =30, optimal solution ratio P γ =0.1, cross ratio P c =0.8 and variation ratio P m =0.2。
B. Second, crossover and mutation operations: for generation G, population I G For generating offspring populations O by means of crossover operators and mutation operators G . Generated progeny population O G And the parent group I G Are combined to obtain a population P G =O G ∪I G
C. Next, non-dominated sorting, based on the constraints in (17), a solution may be feasibleMay also be infeasible. The concept of constraint dominance is introduced in non-dominated sorting. If any of the following conditions is true, the solution P is called i G Constraint dominated solution P j G (P i Gc P j G ) (ii) a a) Solution of P i G Feasible, solution P j G Is not feasible; b) Solution of P i G And P j G None are feasible, but solution P i G The constraint value of (2) is smaller; c) Solution of P i G And P j G All are feasible, but solve P i G Constraint dominated solution P j G . With this constrained control principle, any feasible solution may have a better non-controlled rank than any infeasible solution. All feasible solutions are sorted according to their objective function values and constraint values. Solutions with the same non-dominant level are assigned to the same non-dominant front.
D. Further, contest selection: the congestion distance of each non-dominant leading edge solution is calculated to evaluate the congestion degree of each non-dominant leading edge solution. Bituming selection based on congestion comparison operator and rank is used to select the generated population U G+1 . Then generating a group U G+1 Allocation for crossover and mutation to create a new parent group I G+1 . Contest scale of T = P γ *K P
