Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar signal processing technology, and in particular to a robust waveform optimization method for anti-interference of simultaneously fully polarized radar. Background Technology

[0002] Interrupted Sampling Repeater Jamming (ISRJ), a novel coherent jamming technique derived from digital radio frequency memory (RFMemory), cleverly segments and repeats intercepted radar signals. After pulse compression at the radar receiver, it forms a dense string of false targets resembling the target echo, achieving both suppression and deception of the jammer. Due to its fast response speed and simple engineering implementation, ISRJ is often difficult to suppress effectively using traditional methods. Therefore, countermeasures against ISRJ have become a hot research topic in the field of anti-jamming.

[0003] Existing methods for combating intermittent sampling-forwarding interference can be broadly categorized into three types: The first type uses transmitter waveform design, which involves designing sparse Doppler characteristic waveforms or orthogonal linear frequency modulated signals-phase-coded waveforms transmitted by the radar system, and then filtering out the interference signal at the receiver through segmented filtering. The second type uses receiver signal processing, which focuses on receiver design based on the "identification-filtering" approach, extracting the echo signal characteristics (mainly time and frequency domain characteristics) of intermittent sampling-forwarding interference to suppress the interference signal. The third type combines the first two methods, employing an unmatched filtering system and performing joint optimization design of the transmitter and receiver for the radar system. Due to its high degree of freedom and flexible adjustment, this type of method has a more significant suppression effect on intermittent sampling-forwarding interference while reducing lengthy signal processing procedures. However, current transmitter-receiver methods do not fully utilize the polarization domain information of the jammer, and lack consideration of target characteristics in the "signal" aspect of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), resulting in insufficient suppression of intermittent sampling-forwarding interference signals.

[0144] Step 1: Use jammer parameter detection equipment to detect the jammer's scattering matrix and the interference vectors of the horizontal and vertical channels. Estimate the additive white Gaussian noise power in the environment. To match the transmitted waveform with the target characteristics, a microwave anechoic chamber is needed to measure the target impulse response matrix of this type of target and construct the jamming characteristic matrix. Specifically, the jammer intercepts a segment of the radar transmitted signal and forwards it multiple times, repeating this interception-forwarding process until the pulse ends. Figure 1 As shown: After intercepting the transmitted signal, the jammer performs a slicing operation to obtain segment 1, and then repeats segment 1 twice; similarly, after an interval of one relay cycle, the jammer performs a slicing operation to obtain segment 4, and then repeats it twice; after another interval of one relay cycle, it slices segment 7, and similarly repeats it twice. Where, T...

According to the target impulse response matrix mentioned above, determine several receiving filter groups corresponding to the initial transmitted waveform through the minimum variance distortionless filter method, and then calculate the initial signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio.

[0146] Step 3: Based on the above initialization of the transmit waveform and the above receive filter bank, the generalized Tinkerbach algorithm (e.g., ...) is used. Figure 3 (As shown), the transmitted waveform is iteratively optimized to determine the optimal transmitted waveform solution after several iterations;

[0147] Step 4: Determine the filter bank for the target impulse response matrix corresponding to several azimuth angles using the minimum variance distortionless filter method;

[0148] Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 above until the convergence condition is met.

[0149] Finally, according to the above steps (such as...) Figure 4 (As shown) the optimal transmit waveform solution and the corresponding receive filter bank are obtained.

[0150] The receiving filter bank performs signal processing, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown: The radar echo signal is obtained based on the target echo and the intermittently sampled and relayed interference echo.
