Problems solved by technology

This algorithm can decompose the original non-convex optimization problem into multiple easy-to-solve sub-problems to iteratively solve, but it cannot theoretically guarantee the convergence of the algorithm, and requires human experience to adjust the penalty factor in the algorithm to obtain the desired beam shape

Abstract

The invention discloses an array antenna beam forming optimization method under non-convex multiple constraints. The method comprises the following steps: establishing a receiving signal far-field model for an array antenna beam forming problem; taking the side lobe level of the region of interest as a target function, considering main lobe interval shape control and output noise power requirements, adding main lobe interval level upper and lower bound limits and output noise power constraints, and establishing a non-convex optimization problem; therefore, the expected wave beam shape is obtained on the premise of not increasing the output noise power. According to the method, the non-convex constraint is approximated to be a convex upper bound function through the first-order iterative convex approximation algorithm, so that the non-convex multi-constraint optimization problem is approximated to be a convex optimization problem, and solving is easy; besides, the non-negative slack variable is introduced, so that the convergence speed of the algorithm is high, a self-adaptive change penalty factor is designed, and the parameter adjustment process of human experience is reduced; on the premise that it is guaranteed that the expected main lobe shape of a beam directional diagram is obtained, the obtained side lobe level of the region of interest is lower, and interference signals in the side lobe level direction are restrained.
