Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing, and specifically relates to a manifold-optimized low sidelobe constant modulus waveform design method for low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle detection. Background Art
[0002] Drones often have the ability to collect signals and intercept interference, which poses a serious threat to the safety of radars. The side lobes of strong scatterers such as lighthouses and high-rise buildings in cities can easily cover up drone targets, affecting radar detection. In order to improve radar detection performance, accurately distinguish multiple nearby drone targets, and reduce the shielding effect of pulse compression side lobes of large targets on small targets, low side lobe emission waveforms are the key to solving the problem. At the same time, considering the full utilization of radar transmitter power, the constant mode characteristics of the design waveform are also very important in practical applications.
[0003] Manifold optimization algorithms are often used in the field of radar transmission signal optimization. For example, in MIMO antenna systems, a new projection, descent, and shrinkage update strategy is used, which allows monotonic cost function improvements while maintaining feasibility on complex circular manifolds. For example, for the radar transmission waveform design problem under the background of colored noise, a constant modulus waveform design method based on the stationary phase principle is proposed. The above studies involve radar waveform design, but none of these studies involve low sidelobe constant modulus waveform design. At present, low sidelobe constant modulus waveform design is still blank, and it is difficult to effectively detect drone swarms. Summary of the invention

[0161] The present invention studies and designs the problem of minimizing the sidelobe level waveform of the autocorrelation function under the constraint of the radar emission constant modulus waveform, splits the complex non-convex optimization problem under the ADMM framework, and uses the Riemann conjugate gradient method to solve it.
[0162] The present invention studies the optimization design problem of low sidelobe constant mode transmission waveform required for low-altitude UAV detection, so as to enhance the UAV target resolution capability during cluster flight.
[0163] The simulation results show that the phase coding waveform design method proposed in the present invention can significantly reduce the peak sidelobe level and effectively improve the ability to distinguish adjacent UAV targets.
[0164] Example
[0165] Through Matlab simulation, the manifold-optimized low sidelobe constant mode waveform design method for low-altitude UAV detection of the present invention is further illustrated.
[0166] 1) Simulation system parameter settings
[0167] In this simulation, phase-encoded waveforms with different time widths are used for simulation. The waveform time widths are 100, 200, and 300 respectively. The corresponding time widths are 3.33ns, 6.67ns, and 10ns respectively. The waveform bandwidths are 3GHz, 5GHz, and 7.5GHz respectively. The system sampling rate is 30GHz, and the maximum number of iterations is , Tolerance , the dual and auxiliary variables are initialized randomly.
[0168] 2) Emission waveform drawing
[0169] To show the phase encoding waveform design results, we use the optimized transmit waveform vector , combined with phase coded modulation, the transmission waveform with different numbers of code elements is finally drawn. At the same time, targets with close intervals are designed to simulate the situation where there are drones with close intervals.
[0170] 3) Metrics
[0171] In the present invention, it is necessary to measure the effect of the final transmission waveform. In addition to the transmission waveform diagram and the autocorrelation diagram of the transmission waveform, the integrated sidelobe level (ISL), peak sidelobe level (PSL), main lobe level (MLL), and peak sidelobe ratio (PSR) of the sidelobe region waveform autocorrelation are also used as measurement indicators, which are specifically defined as follows:
[0172] (12)
[0173] The smaller the PSL and the larger the PSR, the better the performance of the designed waveform. The pulse compression results of the waveform show that there are obvious peaks at the target position, and the sidelobe levels at the adjacent positions are much lower than the amplitude at the peak, so the ability to distinguish nearby drones is stronger.
[0174] 4) Result analysis
[0175] The present invention has carried out three example simulations in total:
[0176] Figure 1The optimal transmission waveform modulus and phase change diagram designed when the transmission code element length is N=100. Figure 2 is the autocorrelation function diagram of the corresponding transmission waveform, Figure 3 The autocorrelation function diagram of the received waveform when there is a target 0.1m away.

Figure 5 is the autocorrelation function diagram of the corresponding transmission waveform, Figure 6 The autocorrelation function diagram of the received waveform when there is a target 0.1m away.

Figure 8 is the autocorrelation function diagram of the corresponding transmission waveform, Fig. 9 The autocorrelation function diagram of the received waveform when there is a target 0.1m away. The specific parameter indicators of the phase-coded transmission waveform designed for the experimental simulation are shown in Table 1. The specific parameters of the linear frequency modulation transmission waveform with the same time width are shown in Table 2:
[0179] Table 1 Simulation results of optimal transmission waveform
[0180] Table 2 Linear frequency modulation signal simulation results
[0181]
[0182] exist Figure 1 , 4 In 7, the phase-coded waveform obtained by the algorithm proposed in the present invention has a constant modulus length of 1, which satisfies the constant modulus constraint condition, and the initial phase of each code element is The waveform generated by the algorithm proposed by the present invention conforms to the basic characteristics of the constant modulus phase coded waveform.
[0183] exist Figure 2 , 5 In , 8, the transmit waveform is autocorrelated and the main lobe and side lobe levels with obvious differences are obtained. The peak side lobe levels are 14.47dB, 22.28dB, and 25.28dB, respectively. The peak side lobe ratios are 25.53dB, 23.74dB, and 24.26dB, respectively. When the symbol length gradually increases, the peak side lobe ratio is still large, indicating that the transmitted waveform performance is good.
[0184] exist Figure 3 , 6 In 9, there are two drone targets with a distance of only 0.1m between them. Figure 1 ,4 , 7, the optimal waveform of the transmission is obtained, the echo signal is processed by pulse compression, and the autocorrelation function diagram is obtained. From the results, it can be seen that the target at a distance of 0.1m forms two pulse peaks, and there is an obvious amplitude difference between the peak and the side lobe. At the same time, the distance difference corresponding to the peak is 0.1m, which meets the simulation settings. Therefore, the transmission waveform can clearly distinguish the two targets.
[0185] In Table 1 and Table 2, for transmission signals with the same time width, the transmission waveform designed by the method of the present invention has a lower integrated sidelobe level, a lower peak sidelobe level, and a higher peak sidelobe level, and its performance is significantly superior to that of conventional linear frequency modulation signals.
[0186] In summary, the phase-coded waveform design method based on Riemann manifold optimization of the present invention has good performance, the proposed method has a low sidelobe level, and similar targets can be distinguished. This shows that the phase-coded waveform design method based on Riemann manifold optimization is an effective constant modulus waveform design method for low-altitude UAV detection.
