Detailed Description
The invention provides a large-scale wide-angle scanning phased array antenna layered design method based on a self-adaptive covariance matrix evolution strategy (CMA-ES) and a heuristic iterative convex relaxation programming method (H-ICRP), which comprises the following steps:
firstly, establishing a large-scale phased array antenna layered design model; the irregular subarrays are firstly formed into a module panel, then the module panels are thinly arranged into an array, and each control unit (namely a TR component) is arranged in the arrangement of the subarrays and comprises a low-noise amplifier, a power amplifier, an amplitude limiter, a phase shifter and the like;
establishing a planar array of M x N antenna elements respectively disposed along the x-axis and the y-axis, any element in the plane being represented as a two-linear independent vector d1And d2Integer weighted linear combination of
rmn=md1+nd2 (1)
In the case of a rectangular lattice, d1=[1/2λ,0]TAnd d2=[0,1/2λ]TAnd λ is the corresponding wavelength at the frequency of the array.
Considering a k-th sub-array composed of n elements, the sub-array factor can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003413592030000038
where K1 … K is the index number for each sub-array,
Figure BDA0003413592030000041
is the excitation of the ith element located in the kth sub-array. k is a radical of02 π/λ is the wave number, ri kIs the spatial position vector of the ith element in the kth sub-array, u ═ sin θ cos φ, sin θ sin φ, θ ∈ [0, π],φ∈[0,2π]。
Thus, a modular panel array factor consisting of K sub-arrays can be expressed as
Figure BDA0003413592030000042
rkIs the phase center of the kth sub-array. Assuming that the sensor unit patterns ep (u) are all the same, the overall sensor array antenna pattern is represented as:
Figure BDA0003413592030000043
in the formula, FpIs a super array factor composed of second level sub-arrays. In this case, if the phase shifters are placed on the primary sub-array only, the antenna pattern is swept to u0Can be expressed as
Figure BDA0003413592030000044
Secondly, constructing a module panel candidate matrix L;
the entire wavefront aperture can be represented as a set a, consisting of coefficients (m, n), and each subarray can be represented by a subset of a, set to B; according to the set coverage theory, the splicing problem can be expressed as a binary set coverage problem, namely, for oneGiven irregular sub-array of given shape, it can be rotated and turned to get different arrangement, all possible positions in the aperture can be used as candidate set to find S ═ B1,…,BκK represents the total number of candidate sets; the purpose is to find a proper subset, and to accurately fill the aperture set A;
generating a binary matrix L by encoding the sets A and S; each row and each column of L respectively represents a corresponding subset in S and a corresponding element in A; if the corresponding subset contains the corresponding element, the entry is 1; otherwise, the entry is 0; in this case, L can be viewed as a dictionary matrix, the rows of which are candidates;
in order to achieve a design structure of non-overlapping subarrays, the goal is to select the row subsets in the matrix L skillfully so that the number 1 appears exactly once in each column; thus, the subarray division matrix T may be generated as:
Figure BDA0003413592030000051
l (l < kappa) is the number of selected subarrays, Tln1 (row l and column n) denotes grouping the nth element into the nth subarray and vice versa. Mathematically, it can be reduced to an accurate coverage problem or a multiform stitching problem.
Thirdly, selecting the degree of freedom: selecting a suitable number of control units ldof
In order to achieve a good balance between structural complexity and radiation performance, the sub-array technique of placing the control nodes (phase shifters, amplifiers, delays) at the sub-array level is reliable. However, the main problem with this structure is the quantization lobe. The larger the scan angle increase, the larger the quantization error due to the steeper phase excitation, which is the main cause of the limited field of view effect.
In order to reduce the influence of quantization error, control nodes need to be added, and the degree of freedom of users needs to be increased. One simple way is to use a smaller or mixed type of sub-array. The relationship between the minimum number of control nodes and the scan angle coverage can be expressed as
Figure BDA0003413592030000052
Wherein theta ismaxAnd phimaxIs the maximum scan angle in two planes, θ3And phi3Is the half-power beamwidth in both planes. Thus, the control node synthesis problem can be expressed as control over a constant/, with the larger the constant/the more control nodes.
Fourthly, sampling the target patterns under different scanning angles: in order to find an optimal starting point, a fully-filled array radiation directional diagram is adopted as a target in an array mode matching model, an expected/reference mode is sampled on a (u, v) plane, the radiation performance is considered, and meanwhile, the inversion performance is improved through multi-task interaction by utilizing a static mode and a scanning mode;
for the desired/reference pattern sampling, the sample points or directions are defined as follows:
Figure BDA0003413592030000053
θkand phikK-th sampling values of pitch angle and azimuth angle, K1=K2K, the sampling point positions in the u-v domain corresponding to K are:

thereby obtaining a measurement vector F in a compressed sensing theory formed by K directional diagram sampling valuesrefI.e. by
Fref=[Fref(u0,v0),Fref(u1,v1),…,Fref(uK-1,vK-1)]T (10)
Fifthly, obtaining an initial point vector:
the optimal radiation performance of the array can be achieved by a fully populated matrix. The array pattern matching problem can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003413592030000062
Figure BDA0003413592030000063
T-Ψw=e (13)
wMN×1=LTh (14)
where ε is the fidelity index, rmnA position vector representing the nth column array element of the mth row, T (theta, phi) is a desired directional diagram, psi ≈ psi1,…,Ψ1]HWherein the ith element value is
Figure BDA0003413592030000064
w≈[w1,…,wMN]HIs the excitation vector, T and h are the sampling vector of the target pattern and the weighting vector of the sub-array, respectively, e is the residual value, LTIs the transpose of the dictionary matrix.
Sixthly, solving a convex relaxation model:
the selection of rows in the matrix L can be expressed as
Figure BDA0003413592030000065
L is a binary dictionary matrix,/dofIs a constant number representing the total number of sub-arrays/patches that will be used to cover the array aperture. x is the selection vector of the selection candidate (1 indicates selected, 0 indicates unselected). 1 is a full 1 vector.
Expressing binary constraint as a minimization problem based on convex set difference theory
Figure BDA0003413592030000071
Thus, the expression may be expressed as
Figure BDA0003413592030000072
It is clear that the objective function 1Tx-xTx-0 is not a convex function. Therefore, it is linearized by a first order Taylor decomposition using a relaxation method, which can be expressed as (k +1) th iteration
Figure BDA0003413592030000073
Then, the sub-array tiling problem for the (k +1) th iteration can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003413592030000074
wherein x0(k ═ 0) is the initial point vector.
And seventhly, solving the phase center of the module panel:
rkis the phase center of the kth sub-array. In general, the equivalent phase center of a two-dimensional sub-array can be expressed as
Figure BDA0003413592030000075
Wherein xiAnd yiIs the ith element on the x-axis and y-axis. n is the sum of the elements in a sub-array.
The CMA-ES algorithm needs to adjust a dynamic step size parameter sigma of multivariate normal distribution and a dynamic positive definite covariance matrix C to guide the direction of mutation evolution of the population, and the basic equation is as follows:
Figure BDA0003413592030000076
in the formula (I), the compound is shown in the specification,
Figure BDA0003413592030000077

The selected fitness function value is set as:
fcost=PSLLdB+c0(dtarget-min(dmin,dtarget))2 (21)
wherein f iscostFor the fitness function value, PSLL is the highest sidelobe level value corresponding to the array, dminIs the actual minimum cell pitch, atargetA minimum cell pitch required for practice, c0And performing interval expansion processing on a group of optimized thin cloth array element positions to obtain a proper module panel phase center for large-scale tiling.
In order to verify the correctness and the effectiveness of the invention, a large-scale planar array multi-beam scanning pattern comprehensive problem is analyzed below, the operation environment is (CPU 1.8GHz, 8.00GB RAM, Matlab2018a), and it is assumed that a module panel used as a secondary sub-array for array arrangement is formed by accurately tiling a 4-unit L-shaped domino structure, the panel is a rectangular uniform planar array, the number of antenna units in the x and y directions is M-8, and N-8, respectively. When the modules are uniformly spread, the number of the module panels is set to be 100, the modules are thinned, the number of the module panels after being thinned is reduced to 60, the thinning rate is 40%, and the aperture of the array is slightly enlarged. The aperture D of the uniform array is 36 lambda, and the array element interval is 0.5 lambda. The present invention optimally designs a non-uniformly distributed area array, and can balance the control unit and array performance, and the aperture D of the thin-cloth array is 40 lambda, and the minimum interval of array elements is 0.55 lambda, so that the reconstructed thin-cloth area array can be made to be in the range of [ +/-45 deg. °]And the directional diagram is kept in the sweep angle range, grating lobes are not generated, and beam scanning is realized. The performance of the radiation pattern of the reconstructed sparse array is superior to that of the uniformly distributed area array radiation pattern. In the calculation of the preferred initial point, the desired partyThe number of samples of the graph is 442 and 419, and the prior parameter of the MT-BCS is considered to be beta1=β2The stop threshold is set to 10 for 1. Fig. 1(a) -4 (a) show radiation patterns with better performance obtained based on better initial point vectors, which are formed by accurately tiling 8 × 8 sub-array panels in a 4-unit L-type domino structure under different scanning angles. In order to more clearly see the effect of the sparse array of the secondary panel, the comparison between the directional diagram of the reconstructed sparse array and the radiation directional diagram of the uniformly tiled array is performed under different scanning angles in fig. 1(b) to 4(b), and the grating lobe suppression effect of the combination of the layered array factors on the overall true area directional diagram can be seen. As can be seen from the figure, the angle was [ + -45 DEG, 45 DEG)]In the range of the sweep angle, in the array factor pitching direction synthetic directional diagram, the highest side lobe of the radiation directional diagram of the reconstructed thin-cloth area array is always below-20 dB and is far superior to that of the original uniform area array. Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of splicing a reconstructed sparse area array and an original uniform area array based on an irregular subarray divided into 8 × 8 panels. It can be seen that the aperture of the reconstructed sparse area array is slightly enlarged compared with the original uniform area array. In addition, the scanning electrical properties at different angles for the two tiling schemes are shown in table 1.

The basic idea of the invention is that firstly, a heuristic iterative convex relaxation programming method (H-ICRP) is utilized to ensure that a given irregular subarray is accurately tiled into a module panel, and then the sparse arraying is carried out on the panels. By reducing the number of control units (phase shifters, amplifiers and T/R modules) to the number of sub-arrays per module panel, the feed network is simplified, cost is effectively saved, and an effective tradeoff is established between radiation performance and engineering convenience. Considering that the original irregular subarray hierarchical design method simply splices together the module panels, the method introduces an adaptive covariance matrix evolution strategy (CMA-ES). The phase center of the module panel is sparsely distributed on the basis of the original method, so that the antenna units are effectively saved, the manufacturing cost is reduced, the performance of the antenna of a large-scale array is further improved, wide-angle scanning can be realized, and the method has great significance in practical application.
