AI Technical Summary
Existing bistatic radar space synchronization methods rely excessively on attitude information and the accuracy of the inertial navigation system, making it difficult to achieve high-precision positioning and space synchronization under conditions of electromagnetic interference or large cumulative errors in the inertial navigation system.
A clutter-based locking method is adopted to establish a bistatic radar spatial synchronization model. By acquiring target echoes from uniform sea clutter surfaces for two-dimensional scanning, filtering and homogenization are performed to estimate the angle at the beam alignment time. A bistatic relative position positioning equation is established, and the differential evolution algorithm is used to optimize and solve the positioning equation, thereby realizing the recalculation of the relative position and beam angle of the bistatic platform.
Without relying on the accuracy of the inertial navigation system, it effectively solves the problem of spatial synchronization error caused by the inability to use navigation information or the cumulative error of the inertial navigation system during actual flight, and achieves high-precision bistatic radar spatial synchronization.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bistatic radar space synchronization technology, specifically relating to a bistatic radar space synchronization method based on clutter locking. Background Technology
[0002] Bistatic radar, with its separate transmit and receive platforms, offers advantages over monostatic radar, including longer detection range, more flexible observation scenarios, and stronger anti-jamming capabilities. Spatial synchronization, one of the three major synchronization issues in bistatic radar configurations, is a necessary prerequisite for receiving echo signals. Therefore, research and exploration into spatial synchronization of bistatic radar has considerable practical value.
[0003] Existing space synchronization methods require precise measurement systems for positioning and attitude determination, as well as precise servo control systems. A complete navigation and attitude measurement system is formed by combining three measurement devices: Global Positioning System (GPS), Inertial Navigation System (INS), and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This system provides real-time and stable, precise measurements of the motion platform's information. The results of this measurement system will guide the aircraft's flight and antenna pointing, thereby achieving space synchronization.
[0004] However, these space synchronization methods rely excessively on attitude information and the accuracy of the inertial navigation system. In real-world operating environments, electromagnetic interference can cause GPS and other satellite positioning equipment to malfunction, preventing the platform from achieving high-precision positioning. Furthermore, the inertial navigation system can accumulate significant errors during long-term flight. Therefore, these methods struggle to meet the requirements of high-precision positioning, leading to substantial errors in subsequent space synchronization. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a bistatic radar space synchronization method based on clutter locking, which solves the problem that the platform cannot use navigation information or the inertial navigation system accumulates large errors, resulting in unsatisfactory space synchronization effects in practical engineering.
