The invention discloses a method for designing a transmitting directional diagram of foresight airborne
radar. The problems that a designed directional diagram is poor in self adaptability in the prior art,
radiation energy in a
clutter area is high and the target
echo signal-to-
clutter ratio is low are mainly solved. The method includes the implantation steps that first, steering vectors are constructed according to target echo signals and
clutter echo signals received by the airborne
radar at the previous moment and foresight airborne
radar parameters; second, the target echo and the clutter echo are calculated according to the steering vectors, so that a
target signal average power formula and a clutter
signal average power formula are obtained; third, the
signal-to-clutter ratio is constructed through the
target signal average power and the clutter
signal average power; fourth, the maximum signal-to-clutter ratio is used as a cost function, so that a corresponding convex optimized
mathematical model is established, and the optimum value of a transmitting
signal correlation matrix is obtained; fifth, the transmitting directional diagram of the foresight airborne radar is figured out. The designed transmitting directional diagram can generate a low
side lobe in a high clutter area, the
radiation energy in the high clutter area can be lowered, and the method can be used for improving the clutter inhibiting capacity of a transmitting terminal.
