MIMO radar waveform design in the presence of clutter and colored noise

The existing MIMO radar waveform design methods only deal with the optimization of radar waveform with the presence of clutter or colored noise, and unfortunately can not get the optimal waveform with the scenario when the clutter and colored noise coexist, which is more realistic in practical applications. To address this problem, a novel MIMO radar waveform design method based on mutual information in the presence of clutter and colored noise is proposed. The proposed scheme considers the influence of the target's response, clutter and colored noise on the optimization of the radar waveform. The mathematical expression for the transmit waveform matrix is achieved by theoretical derivation. What is more important, an optimal pairing of the eigenvectors of the target, clutter and colored noise is given and the power allocation for each antenna is optimized by the water-filling method. Simulation results show that when the total transmit power is 10dB, the proposed method's MI is 8bit and 4bit more than that of the general water-filling method and the method which only considers the pairing of the target's response and noise, respectively.     

Radio frequency interference suppression algorithm in the spatial domian for high-frequency radars

Radio frequency interference suppression is a very important issue in applications of high-frequency surface wave radar. This paper proposes a new interference suppression algorithm which makes use of RF interference azimuth information on the basis of learning common RF interference suppression algorithms and spatial spectrum estimation. First, we apply the MUSIC algorithm to estimate the interference azimuth and obtains the interference's signal space after the first Fourier transform; next, we use space decomposition to decompose the radar echo and obtain interference components; last, we subtract radio frequency interference components from the original signals. This algorithm can do great amount of RF interference suppression in actual data and get good results.     

Fast method for SAR echo simulation of a three-dimensional ground scene

Due to huge calculation of SAR echo simulation of a three-dimensional (3D) ground scene, a fast simulation method is proposed. First, the data of a 3D ground scene are fractionally interpolated based on the Fractional Brownian Motion (FBM) model. Second, the data interpolated are divided into lots of small facets whose precision meets the simulation requirement, the backscattering coefficients of the small facets are calculated. Third, the shaded area is judged by the comparison method of overlook angles. Three parallel levels are analyzed and the kernel function is designed. Finally, the computing method of reduction adding and external thread are also utilized under the framework of GPU in order to get high efficiency. With the methods mentioned above, the imaging result of experimental DEM data verifies the validity and superiority of the proposed method.

ISAR imaging algorithm for targets with the complex motion based on the high-order ambiguity function-Lv's distribution

In ISAR imaging for targets with the complex motion, since the azimuth high order phase terms caused by the time-varying rotation vector will deteriorate the azimuth focusing quality, the traditional RD algorithm and LFM model are not appropriate. Thereby, in the case when the received signal can be modeled as cubic phase signals (CPSs), this paper proposes an ISAR imaging algorithm based on HAF-LVD (high-order ambiguity function-Lv's distribution). First, this algorithm defines a novel double lag parametric instantaneous autocorrelation function, and then applies the scaling operator to remove the coupling and utilizes FFT to achieve the energy accumulation. Finally, the non-searching estimation of the moving parameter and the ISAR images for targets are accomplished by the obtained HAF-LVD. Because of the introduction of the scaling factor, this algorithm can flexibly deal with more changeful and hostile ISAR environment without loss of the anti-noise performance and computational efficiency. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the ISAR imaging approach.

针对机载雷达空时自适应处理（STAP）中期望目标导向矢量的失配问题,提出一种基于双迭代与二阶锥规划的稳健降维STAP方法。该方法首先将权矢量分解为空域与时域两个低维权矢量的Kronecker积,然后分别限定实际空域、时域导向矢量与假定导向矢量之间的误差范数边界,并通过对各自最差性能进行优化,转化为相应的SOCP形式,进而利用双迭代算法实现了对两个低维权矢量的分别求解,最终合成全维STAP权矢量。该方法在保证稳健STAP性能的同时,通过双迭代降维处理,能够有效降低训练样本数需求与运算复杂度,因此更具有实际应用价值。仿真结果验证了算法的有效性。
