Abstract

The invention relates to a low-sidelobe emission directional diagram design method improving DOA estimated performance of a MIMO radar. The method comprises the following steps: setting an interesting area; ensuring column vectors of a beam space weighting matrix to satisfy pairing characteristics; ensuring signals at a receiving end to satisfy rotation invariance; constructing an optimized model of a beam space weighting matrix with directional diagram coupling characteristics, rotation invariance of the signals and equality of various array element emission powers as constraint conditions; introducing an auxiliary variable and relaxing a rank-1 constraint to be a positive semidefinite constraint through utilization of the semidefinite relaxing technology; and through utilization of an interior point method, obtaining an optimal solution of the relaxing problem; through a Gaussian randomization method, the beam space weighting matrix is solved; and DOA estimation is carried out on a target at the receiving end through the ESPRIT algorithm. The MIMO radar waveform design technology which is good in performance in the invention can raise the signal to noise ratio at the receiving end, provide an important theoretical basis and a specific realization method for raising the precision of MIMO radar angle estimation.
