The invention belongs to the communication field, to be specific, provides an
MIMO radar multi-target
adaptive tracking method based on a variable analysis moment. The above mentioned method is used to realize
MIMO radar adaptive target tracking in multi-target environment. The method comprises steps that a prediction error
covariance threshold method is used to determine the next analyzing moments of various targets, and the minimum value is used as the next analyzing moment of the
MIMO radar; a controllable parameter combination constituted by working
modes, sub-array quantity, and waveform energy is traversed, and whether the controllable parameter combination is capable of satisfying constraints of a detection probability and wave beam directions is determined, and therefore an
MIMO radar control vector feasible set is formed; and finally, in every
control vector of the feasible set, an optimal radar
control vector is acquired according to a lowest
resource consumption principle. In the multi-target environment, the
advantage of the
MIMO radar using the single wave beam to irradiate a plurality of targets is fully used, and the sampling times of the various targets are increased, and the sampling moments of the targets are determined in an adaptive way according to the motion characteristics of the targets, and therefore the time
resource utilization rate of the radar is effectively improved.
