基于混沌的调频调相的多输入多输出雷达正交波形设计

针对混沌序列单一调频或调相波形存在波形复杂度低,限制了混沌信号可预测的概率、雷达的截获概率和抗干扰性能的问题,提出了基于混沌序列将频率和相位联合调制用于波形设计的方法。首先,对雷达信号进行混沌频率编码,即将一个脉冲分成一系列子脉冲,对不同子脉冲进行不同的频率调制。同时,在每个频率编码子脉冲内对波形的每个周期使用随机产生的初始相位。仿真结果表明,联合调频调相混沌雷达信号的自相关旁瓣峰值最大值达到-24.71 dB,相比调频混沌信号或调相混沌信号,其相关性性能有所提高。实验结果表明,联合调频调相混沌雷达波形结合调相和调频的优点,既具有调相信号的功率谱平坦的特性,又具有调频信号抗噪声干扰特性,为非常理想的探测信号。

Multiple input multiple output radar orthogonal waveform design of joint frequency-phase modulation based on chaos

The single frequency modulation or phase modulation waveform based on chaotic sequence has low waveform complexity, which limits predictive probability of chaotic signal, radar intercept probability and anti-interference performance. In order to solve the problems, joint frequency-phase modulation based on chaotic sequence in radar waveform was proposed. Firstly, the radar signal was carried out for the chaotic frequency encoding, which was that a pulse was divided into a series of sub-pulses and different frequency modulation was carried out for different sub-pulses. At the same time, in each frequency encoding sub-pulse, the random initial phase was used in each cycle of waveform. The simulation results show that the maximum value of autocorrelation sidelobe peak of joint frequency-phase modulation based on chaotic radar signal achieved -24.71 dB. Compared with the frequency modulation or phase modulation based on chaotic signal, the correlation performance of the proposed joint frequency-phase modulation has improved. The experimental results show that, the joint frequency-phase modulation chaotic radar waveform combines the advantages of phase modulation and frequency modulation and is an ideal detection signal with the flat power spectrum characteristic of phase modulation and anti-noise-interference ability of frequency modulation.
