Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of radar signal processing, in particular to a wideband array main lobe interference suppression method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the advent of the information age, communication is widely used in various fields. Among them, the wideband array main lobe interference suppression adaptive beam forming technology is more critical. This technology can make the adaptive beam forming obtain good characteristics and ensure the normal operation of communication. In the process of wideband adaptive beam forming, when there is interference in the main lobe, the peak of the main lobe beam will be shifted, resulting in beam non-shape, main lobe transmission distortion and a series of problems.
[0003] Domestic scholars have conducted a lot of research on main lobe interference suppression. Among them, there are many methods about blocking matrix processing, eigenvalue projection matrix processing and wideband constant beam. These three methods have certain effect on main lobe interference suppression, but at the same time, they also have some defects. For the blocking matrix processing algorithm, this method needs to block the signal, which will cause the system to lose the degree of freedom and make the main lobe of the directional diagram wide. For the eigenvalue projection matrix processing algorithm, the signal weighting is also processed by the eigenvalue projection matrix, which has little effect on the degree of freedom, but it will cause the main lobe to shift and other problems. For the wideband constant beam, this method increases the burden of operation due to the introduction of the second-order cone programming to obtain the weight coefficient. SUMMARY
