Problems solved by technology

Due to the diversity of transmitted waveforms, the airborne MIMO radar STAP further increases the number of training samples while obtaining the expansion of system degrees of freedom. However, it is difficult to obtain enough independent and identically distributed (IID) sample data for covariance matrix estimation in practice. Moreover, the computational complexity has been significantly increased, and the computational complexity of the algorithm is particularly prominent, which makes it difficult to meet the real-time processing requirements. These are also key issues that need to be solved urgently in the process of promoting MIMO-STAP technology to realize practical engineering applications.
At the same time, the existing dimensionality reduction STAP methods (such as the double iterative algorithm) that reduce the number of samples and computational complexity only consider the ideal situation where the array steering vector is precisely known. However, in practical engineering applications, various error situations are inevitable, such as When there is an error in the direction of arrival (DOA) and velocity of the target in STAP, it will cause a mismatch between the airspace and time domain steering vectors of the desired target, and there will be error coupling between them, which will cause the performance of the traditional dimensionality reduction STAP method when it is applied to airborne MIMO radar. drop, or even fail

Abstract

The invention relates to an airborne MIMO radar robust dimension-reduction space-time self-adaptive processing method, which comprises the following steps: to begin with, decomposing MIMO-STAP weight vector into Kronecker product of space and time two low-dimension weight vectors; then, based on an error model of space and time steering vectors, carrying out deduction through a second-order convex optimization algorithm to obtain a bi-quadric cost function and constraint conditions; carrying out cycle optimization solution on the space and time two low-dimension weight vectors through a double iterative algorithm; and finally, enabling the space and time weight vectors obtained through optimization to be synthesized into a full-dimensional MIMO-STAP weight vector. In the dimension-reduction processing, robust processing is carried out on each dimension of solution, so that dimension is reduced, and meanwhile, robustness of the steering vector error is enhanced; and under the condition of same sample number and algorithm complexity, the method has higher robustness.
