[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below with specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0028] In the prior art, a conventional phased array (PA) radar system uses an angle-focused beam to detect targets in its main lobe, and the probability of detection (PD) is heavily dependent on the pointing direction of the transmit beam pattern. In order to cover a wide monitoring area, the PA radar transmits different pointing main beams one by one to cover a specific region of interest (ROI), so it takes a long time, which affects the target detection efficiency of the radar and reduces the working performance of the radar. In addition, a frequency diversity array (FDA) is widely studied due to its wide spatial coverage characteristics. Unlike a phased array (PA) radar using a phase shifter to scan a region of interest, the FDA radar forms a range / time-angle dependent transmit pattern by introducing a frequency increment between adjacent elements. Due to the time / range-dependent phase modulation, the FDA radar performs well in spatial coverage and can adjust the spatial coverage according to the frequency increment. Compared with the PA radar, the wide spatial coverage achieved by the FDA radar results in a certain loss of signal to noise ratio (SNR).

[0029] Therefore, the application uses a phased array (PA) radar system to sequentially guide a main beam to cover a specific wide monitoring area of interest, and combines the degrees of freedom of the FDA radar system and the high detection performance of the approximate maximum likelihood technique to propose a signal-level fusion mode, construct a PA-FDA dual-mode radar, use the high transmission power efficiency of the PA radar and the wide spatial coverage of the FDA radar to realize coverage of a wider ROI, combine the wide coverage advantage of the FDA radar with the high gain provided by the PA radar, and improve the target detection performance in a multi-target environment. In addition, for the needs of multi-target detection scenarios, an iterative multi-target detector is designed based on the dual-mode radar system, including a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) and a detection-before-condition suppression generalized likelihood ratio test (CCBD-GLRT), and the corresponding analytical expressions of the detection probability and the false alarm probability are derived, promoting the application of the proposed detection algorithm in practice.

[0181] S1022, proposing a multi-target hypothesis testing detection problem decision criterion based on a generalized likelihood ratio test criterion

[0182] In the above step S1021, n and n k are independent and identically distributed, and are zero-mean complex circularly symmetric Gaussian distributions with R is a positive definite covariance matrix, and according to the generalized likelihood ratio test criterion, the GLRT detector can be obtained in the following manner, and its expression is:

[0185] When GLRT(x, X) > T , the GLRT detector judges H1, and when GLRT(x, X) < T , the GLRT detector judges H0.

[0186] It should be noted that the PA antenna array and the FDA antenna array are respectively under the alternative hypothesis and the null hypothesis, and the PDFs of x and X under H i (i = 0, 1) are as follows:

[0187]

[0188] Based on the generalized likelihood ratio test criterion, the GLRT detector is obtained, and the expression is as follows:

[0189]

[0190] In the above, T GLRT is the GLRT detection statistic of the PA-FDA dual-mode radar, ∑ is a summation symbol, S is the correlation matrix of the signal x k , x k represents the kth training sample, represents the conjugate transpose, and () -1 is the inverse;

[0191] wherein, is a comparison between the detection statistic and the threshold value, when GLRT(x, X) > T , the GLRT detector judges H1, and when GLRT(x, X) < T , the GLRT detector judges H0;

[0192] In the above, there is a mismatch between x and V η in the above, x is composed of multi-target signals, and the mismatch between the GLRT detector and the echo data can be regarded as s0 = V ηthe mismatch between s and s;

[0197] ρ GLRTmis The PDF of ρ can be expressed as

[0198]

[0199]

[0200] According to the above analysis, in the first step of multi-target detection, the probability of false alarm (PFA) and the probability of detection (PD) of the GLRT detector are respectively

[0201]

[0207]

[0208] From the above formula, it can be seen that although there is a mismatch between the GLRT detector and the echo data, the determination of the threshold still has the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) characteristic; in addition, and ρ GLRTmisIn the first step, the PD is determined jointly, thus, the GLRT detector PD is related to the signal-to-noise ratio of multiple targets and the angle difference between the detected target and the mismatched target, it is pointed out that, since the steering matrix is Vandermonde structure, the target with angle difference greater than 3dB beam width can be regarded as approximately orthogonal, especially for the target with low signal-to-noise ratio;

[0209] Considering that multiple targets in the embodiment are located on different beams, it can be obtained that:

[0210]

[0212] wherein, and s i = V i η i define the signal of the ith target.

[0213] When the SNR of the mismatched target is low, the non-centrality parameter and are related to the mismatched signal and the assumed signal respectively, so that the GLRT detector PD is approximately related to the whitened power of the mismatched signal and the assumed signal. It is pointed out that, the mismatched signal in the GLRT not only exists in but also exists in

[0218] It is noted that the detection problem is similar to the target detection problem in a subspace interference environment, where the subspace interference corresponds to the previously detected target in our work. Since the interference can be suppressed before detection, the previously detected target can be cancelled to avoid affecting the detection of other possible targets. In the above equation, the detection problem is transformed by a unitary matrix, which is constructed based on the previously detected target; according to the polar decomposition property, a full column rank matrix can be decomposed into the product of a semi-unitary matrix and a Hermitian matrix. Therefore, the steering vector can be decomposed as

[0219]

[0220] where, is a steering matrix with 2S rows, is a semi-unitary matrix, is a Hermitian matrix; in this way, the augmented matrix is a unitary matrix, where, is composed of the last D-2S columns of the unitary matrix obtained by singular value decomposition of , and the orthogonal transformation matrix is obtained as

[0221] S1032, constructing a CCBD-GLRT detector

[0222] Using the constructed The previously detected target can be cancelled before another target is detected; the above hypothesis testing detection problem is converted into

[0224] where, Similarly, the training sample data is transformed by the orthogonal transformation matrix , and the expression is

[0225]

[0228] To simplify the process, the detection problem can be updated as:

[0229]

[0230] where y is the data to be detected, w is the transformed data using the orthogonal transformation matrix The expression of the transformed noise n, is the transformed search target steering vector using the orthogonal transformation matrix The transformed search target steering vector, i.e.

[0231] S1033, deriving the CCBD-GLRT detector based on the generalized likelihood ratio test criterion

[0232] In the above step S1032, According to the generalized likelihood ratio test criterion, the CCBD-GLRT detector can be expressed as:

[0233]

[0234] where, When S = 0, the CCBD-GLRT detector is reduced to the GLRT detector;

[0235] Since the CCBD-GLRT detector is similar to the target detection detector in the subspace interference, when K ≥ D, the CCBD-GLRT detector is equivalent in performance to the cGLRT detector. It should be noted that when Q > S + 1, there is a mismatch between the CCBD-GLRT detector and the echo data; the distribution of the detection statistic T CCBD The mismatch between the CCBD-GLRT detector and the echo data can be seen as the mismatch between t0 = Tη S+1 and

[0251]

[0252] and is updated as

[0253]

[0254]

[0255] It can be seen that the PD is related to the whitening power of the signal, where the detected target passes through and the mismatched target passes through It should be noted that the number of targets in the CCBD-GLRT detector is less than that in the GLRT detector, and the performance loss will decrease with the increase of the number of known targets.

[0256] S104, iterative multi-target detection

[0257] Based on the designed GLRT detector and CCBD-GLRT detector, multi-target detection is carried out in an iterative detection scheme.

[0258] The GLRT detector based on design detects one target (the target with the largest SNR) in the multiple targets, then uses the CCBD-GLRT detector to detect the second target based on the previously detected target, and detects the remaining targets according to the knowledge of the previous detection.

[0259] The number of iterations required for Q targets is Q+1, and the number of targets does not need to be known in the process of detecting multiple targets; when the condition is maintained in the entire spatial angle domain CCBD (θ i ) < ζ, the iterative detection process will stop, and the iterative algorithm includes the following flow:

[0260] 1. Input x, X, PFA parameter value; 2. Initialization: S = 0, θ = Null; 3. Calculate T GLRT and 4. Perform the following iterative process, then, S = S + 1; Calculate T CCBD and θ S ; determine ζ and S; while max[T CCBD (θ i )] > ζ, do, S = S + 1; Update T CCBD , update [θ1,..., θ S ]; update ζ, update S; end while, end if; 5. θ = [θ1, θ2,..., θ S ]; 6. Output θ.

[0261] S105. Parameter optimization based on CD algorithm

[0262] In the Q-1 steps of execution, as the number of iterations increases, the mismatch between the detector and the echo data becomes smaller and smaller; after all the targets θ = [θ1, θ2,..., θ Q ] are found, the detected targets θ can be updated based on the coordinates down (CD) algorithm to obtain better performance.

[0263] The targets detected through the Q update steps can be sequentially updated as For example, in the first step, θ1 can be updated as where T CCBD is calculated through [θ2,..., θ Q ].

[0264] CD-based optimization algorithm includes the following flow:

It is assumed that the jammer considered here is within the same range as the target at a 45-degree angle.

[0274] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between false alarm probability and detection probability when the SNR is -7dB, provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the optimal receiver operating curves (ROCs) for three targets—PA radar system, FDA radar system, and PA-FDA dual-mode radar system—are displayed, where the numbers "1", "2", and "3" represent the target index, respectively. The signal-to-noise ratio in this embodiment is ||α||. 2 noise power Essentially, it's the input signal-to-noise ratio that doesn't match the beammap gain; byFigure 2 As can be seen, the ROC of the mainlobe target is much higher than that of the sidelobe target; when PFA is 1e -4 -7dB, the optimal PD of FDA is 0.9, which is lower than that of the mainlobe target with PA; it can be seen that the wide coverage of FDA in a single pulse is at the cost of a certain PD loss; it should be noted that when SNR is-7dB, the PDs of the first target with PA and PA-FDA dual-mode radar are both first when PFA is higher than 10-8, because the PD is related to the received signal-to-noise ratio after beamforming, and depends on the signal-to-noise ratio of the target and the aperture of the radar.

[0278] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of a result based on CD optimization according to an embodiment of the present application, wherein "initial" is a result obtained by Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , and "CD" represents the "initial" result optimized using CD; it can be seen from Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 that the performance of the initial optimization result and the optimization result based on CD is the same for the target at -35 degrees, because there is no mismatch in the third step; thus, because the mismatch in the model is eliminated, the target detection probability at 0 degrees and 20 degrees is improved.
