MIMO radar waveform design method via low sidelobe beampattern modification

In the design of the multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) radar waveform, decreasing transmit beampattern sidelobes could reduce the energy of clutters and false targets from sidelobes and increase the received signal to noise ratio (SNR) so as to improve the angle estimation property. Motivated by this idea, a transmit waveform design method based on low sidelobe beampattern modification is proposed for MIMO radar. First, the transmit waveform cross-correlation matrix can be obtained by the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique. Then the essence of our method is to establish an optimization modification model to reduce the beampattern sidelobe by changing the non-diagonal elements of the waveform cross-correlation matrix. Finally, the corresponding transmit beamforming weight matrix is obtained by this modified matrix, and the ESPRIT algorithm is used for the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. Meanwhile, the feasibility of our method is demonstrated. Simulation results show the superiorities of our method in sidelobe suppression, DOA estimation accuracy and angle resolution.     

Waveform Design for MIMO Radar with One-Bit DACs via Block-Sparse Semidefinite Relaxation

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems which deploy one-bit DACs are at-tractive in many fields, such as wireless communications and radar. In this paper, the problem of transmit waveform design in MIMO radar system with one-bit DACs is investigated. By appropri-ately designing the transmitted QPSK signal waveforms, the majority of radiated energy can be fo-cused into the mainlobe region(s) by minimizing the integrated sidelobe to mainlobe ratio (ISMR) of beampattern, such that the intensity of backscattered signals from targets can be enhanced. However, the resulting optimization problem which consists of constrained fractional quadratic problem (CFQP) is noconvex. To tackle this problem, a block-sparse semidefinite relaxation meth-od is first utilized to reformulate the CFQP into a reduced convex semidefinite programming (SDP). Further, a customized interior point algorithm (IPA) is developed to solve the small-scale SDP. Finally, the desirable one-bit transmit waveform sequence can be properly synthesized by us-ing Gaussian randomization method. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method offer better performance than the state-of-the-art algorithms.     

Transmit beampattern synthesis and waveform design for 2-D wideband MIMO radar

For matching the desired transmit beampattern of the two dimensional(2-D) wideband MIMO radar system, a new transmit beampattern synthesis and waveform design algorithm is proposed based on the frquency invariant beamforming. In this algorithm, to eliminate any dependency on frequency of the emiting waveform, the 2-D fourier relationship between uniform rectangular array(URA) transmit beampattern and spectrum of emiting waveform is used. Then the cost function of waveform matching frequency response is established, which imposes a constraint on constant modulus. Finally, the alternating matrix fitting method is used to design unimodular sequences. The proposed method effectively mitigates frequency dispersion of the 2-D wideband MIMO radar transmit beampattern. Numerical simulations have proved the validity of this algorithm.

An adaptive waveform-detection threshold joint optimization method for target tracking

The joint optimization of detection threshold and waveform parameters for target tracking which comes from the idea of cognitive radar is investigated for the modified probabilistic data association （MPDA） filter. The transmitted waveforms and detection threshold are adaptively selected to enhance the tracking performance. The modified Riccati equation is adopted to predict the error covariance which is used as the criterion function, while the optimization problem is solved through the genetic algorithm （GA）. The detection probability, false alarm probability and measurement noise covariance are all considered together, which significantly improves the tracking performance of the joint detection and tracking system. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive waveform-detection threshold joint optimization method outperforms the adaptive threshold method and the fixed parameters method, which will reduce the tracking error. The average reduction of range error between the adaptive joint method and the fixed parameters method is about 0.6 m, while that between the adaptive joint method and the adaptive threshold only method is about 0.3 m. Similar error reduction occurs for the velocity error and acceleration error.

Then, considering the request of beam pattern and the bandwidth limitation, a waveform optimization model is established and solved. Therefore, the multi-target observation and the dynamic adjustment of the signal bandwidth are accomplished. In the end, the simulation results prove the performance of the algorithm in a low SNR circumstance.
