The effective detection range of the radar is determined, so that operators can be helped to grasp electromagnetic situations in real time, the informatization decision making capability is enhanced, and an important basis is provided for task planning.
There are three general ways to obtain a radar power map, the first is to estimate the radar power map by numerical simulation in combination with radar equations, radar antenna patterns, clutter models, etc. The second is to obtain Lei Dawei force diagram by performing radar test on the test field. Thirdly, through recording actual measurement data of various targets in the radar using process, continuously correcting the radar power diagram according to the actual measurement data and a theoretical model, and obtaining the radar power diagram in the current state.
The first numerical simulation mode is simple and convenient, has low cost, but is difficult to accurately simulate the real electromagnetic environment, has large error and can only be used as a reference. Moreover, as the service life of the radar increases, problems such as reduction of transmitting power, deformation of antenna beams and the like can occur, so that the change condition of the radar detection power can not be known by a numerical simulation method alone. The second radar flight detection test mode has high requirements on factors such as target flight attitude, track selection and environment, and meanwhile, the second radar flight detection test mode has huge cost, more coordination matters and poor engineering practicability. The third mode of estimating by combining the actual measurement data of the radar with the theoretical model requires a large amount of data accumulation to obtain the radar power map, and has long time consumption, and the accumulated actual measurement data needs to be continuously updated and maintained, so that the implementation difficulty is also high.
