Problems solved by technology

However, as the number of array elements increases, the scale of the solution space of the problem expands exponentially. To find the optimal MR-MIMO array configuration in a short period of time, the exhaustive search method is no longer feasible.
At present, there is no effective algorithm to solve this problem in the literature

Abstract

The invention discloses a MIMO radar antenna array sparse arraying method, which is based on almost difference sets and difference bases, and establishes a MIMO radar transmitting / receiving array rapidly through enumeration shifting process. When all transmitting array elements transmit orthogonal signals simultaneously and receiving array elements receive echo signals simultaneously, a virtual array with even space can be established equivalently by utilizing a phase center approximation principle; number of the transmitting / receiving array elements is given, the continuous aperture maximization of the equivalent virtual array can be realized according to the MIMO radar antenna array sparse arraying method, thereby improving spatial resolution of a MIMO radar system significantly; and the continuous apertures of the virtual array are given, and the minimization of number of the transmitting / receiving array elements can be realized according to the MIMO radar antenna array sparse arraying method, thereby reducing hardware cost of the system significantly. The MIMO radar antenna array sparse arraying method has small computational complexity, and is applicable to establishment of MIMO radar sparse linear arrays and planar array.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radar array antennas, and relates to a method for sparsely arranging MIMO radar antenna arrays. Background technique [0002] As a new radar system, MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) radar has received extensive attention in recent years. MIMO radar uses multiple antenna units at the transmitting end and receiving end at the same time, the transmitting end transmits their respective orthogonal waveforms, and each receiving unit uses a series of matched filters to extract these waveform signals, thereby equivalently synthesizing a large-aperture virtual receiving Array. Compared with traditional system radar, MIMO radar can greatly improve the spatial resolution of the system. [0003] Each element of the MIMO radar antenna array realizes the sampling of space electromagnetic waves. How to properly place the transmitting / receiving elements to obtain a virtual array with the best spatial sampling perf...
