[0160] The performances of mDT and the dimensionality reduction mDT method of the present invention are compared under the two cases of m=1 and m=3 through numerical simulation. For the case of m=1 (1DT), Doppler filtering in time domain adopts -70dB Chebyshev weighting to suppress the side lobe. The experimental parameters are set as follows: aircraft speed v=150m / s, height h=9km, wavelength λ=0.3m, pulse number K=32, pulse repetition period T r =5×10 -4 s, number of transmi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a Doppler channel correlation two-stage dimension reduction method for an onboard multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. The method includes constructing an onboard MIMO radar clutter signal model and a target space time two-dimensional guide vector; utilizing Doppler filtering to conduct time domain dimension reduction processing on the echo data; resolving weight vectors formed by a space domain transmitting-receiving two-dimensional wave beam into a Kronecker product of a receiving weight and a transmitting weight, building a dyadic and square cost function, utilizing alternative computation to calculate the optimal weight, utilizing the optimal weight to conduct receiving and transmitting two-dimensional self-adaptation wave beam forming and restraining clutter. By means of the method, the dimension of the obtained weight vectors is greatly reduced, optimum covariance matrix estimation can be obtained through less samples, and the clutter restraining performance is greatly improved under small samples. Meanwhile, high-dimensional sampling covariance matrix inversion is avoided, and the calculation quantity is greatly reduced. By means of clutter restraining, further target detection, target location and tracking and flight track forming are facilitated. The method is applied to various actual systems like navigation systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing, and mainly relates to dimensionality reduction processing of radar clutter signals, in particular to a two-level dimensionality reduction method for Doppler channel association of airborne MIMO radar, which can reduce the dimensionality and calculation amount of a processor and the requirement for the number of reference units for clutter suppression of airborne MIMO radar signals. Background technique [0002] In modern warfare, mastering air supremacy is an important guarantee for winning the war. Airborne early warning radar, because it is erected on a very high platform, has a much farther visible distance to low-altitude flying targets than ground radar, so it has been widely valued. When the airborne radar is looking down, the ground clutter not only has a wide range and high intensity, but also the speed of the clutter in different directions relative to the aircraft is di...
