Description

Background Art

[0002] As an important means of comprehensive situational awareness, radar sensors have important applications in target detection, tracking, identification, and parameter estimation. However, with the continuous development of electronic information technology, radar jamming technologies for various application scenarios have emerged in an endless stream, resulting in serious deterioration of various performances of traditional radars. With the increasing development and application of digital radio frequency memory (DFRM) technology, rapid sampling, complete retention, and on-demand forwarding of received radar signals have been achieved in engineering, making deceptive jamming based on pulse forwarding possible. In actual combat, targets such as aircraft and missiles usually carry self-defense jammers. After detecting that they are illuminated by local radars, the jammers generate multiple false target echo signals through DFRM technology and radiate them. If the enemy radar does not have the corresponding anti-jamming function, it is easy to lose the real target, which may lead to the failure of the detection mission in serious cases.

[0003] According to the specific sampling and forwarding methods, deceptive forwarding interference can be divided into intermittent sampling and forwarding interference and full pulse forwarding interference. Specifically:

[0004] 1) Intermittent sampling and forwarding jamming samples and forwards some fragments of the received enemy radar signal based on the undersampling principle, thereby achieving dense false target jamming. This process can be equivalent to the weighted synthesis of target echoes with different Doppler frequency shifts after matched filtering.

[0005] 2) Full pulse forwarding jamming first intercepts the entire pulse of the enemy radar signal, and then forwards it after a certain delay. Relative to the target echo, the full pulse forwarding jamming signal usually delays multiple (at least one) pulse repetition intervals (PRI) to enter the radar receiver, and then generates a false target near the range-Doppler unit of the real target, and finally forms deceptive jamming to the radar. The present invention mainly considers the suppression problem of full pulse forwarding jamming.

[0006] Summarizing the existing literature, the existing means of anti-forwarding interference can be divided into receiving end signal processing methods and transmitting end signal processing methods, specifically:

[0007] 1) Based on the signal processing method at the receiving end, a set of bandpass filters is constructed by utilizing the distribution difference of true and false target energy in the time-frequency dimension, and the anti-interference purpose is achieved through the segmented filtering method, such as the least squares estimation method for estimating the forwarding interference parameters.

[0008] 2) The signal processing method based on the transmitter mainly utilizes the idea of ​​radar transmission waveform design to maximize the distribution difference between the target echo energy and the interference echo energy by establishing and solving the corresponding objective function.

[0009] In recent years, with the introduction of the concept of cognitive radar, the research on radar waveform optimization design has made rapid progress. In the process of radar waveform optimization design, the optimization objective function or objective criterion is first selected according to the combat scenario of the radar system and the combat mission requirements, and the constraint conditions are determined by considering the resource limitations of the radar hardware system and the response requirements of the combat mission, so as to establish a high-dimensional constrained optimization problem. After the waveform-related optimization model is established, the mathematical theory should be selected according to the mathematical characteristics of the optimization problem for solution. From the perspective of the achieved waveform performance, the research results in radar waveform design include time domain low sidelobe waveform design, sparse spectrum waveform design, local fuzzy function shaping waveform design, transmission pattern matching waveform design, and waveform design that resists intermittent sampling forwarding interference. In order to further improve the design freedom of the optimization problem and achieve better waveform performance, some scholars have studied the joint optimization problem of radar waveform and receiving filter.

[0010] The waveform design method based on Element Pulse Coding MIMO (EPC-MIMO) is a space-time coding technology. It realizes adaptive adjustment of false target energy distribution by encoding the initial phase of pulses transmitted by different antennas within the accumulation period, and has wide application in resisting full pulse forwarding interference. Under the EPC-MIMO system, a random EPC-MIMO waveform design method is proposed in some literature. This method makes the false target energy noisy in the transmission angular frequency dimension, but the energy will be dispersed in the entire transmission angular frequency dimension; another literature proposes an EPC-MIMO waveform optimization method based on Fourier transform. This method realizes the separation of true and false targets in the transmission angular frequency by moving the false target away from the main lobe area of ​​the true target, but part of the false target energy will still leak into the detection area of ​​the true target through the side lobe.

[0011] In response to the above problems, a literature has proposed an adaptive EPC-MIMO waveform optimization method, which achieves interference suppression by moving the energy distribution of false targets to form a notch in the real target detection area. However, when using the adaptive gradient algorithm to solve the optimal coding vector, this method cannot achieve a strict decrease in the loss function value, and its convergence performance and output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) gain need to be further improved.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a radar waveform optimization method for resisting full pulse forwarding interference according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1. Based on the optimization criterion of maximizing the signal-to-interference-noise ratio, a mathematical expression of a phase-dependent non-convex quadratic optimization problem for characterizing a radar waveform is established, wherein the radar waveform refers to a radar waveform for full pulse repeater jamming, and the mathematical expression is associated with key parameters for suppressing full pulse repeater jamming;

[0051] S2. Solve the mathematical expression to obtain the optimal key parameters;

[0052] S3. Optimize the radar waveform using the optimal key parameters.

[0053] Optionally, in S2, solving the mathematical expression includes: solving the mathematical expression using a conjugate gradient algorithm based on line search.

[0054] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the process of acquiring key parameters for suppressing full pulse forwarding interference includes: analyzing the EPC-MIMO model to determine the key parameters for suppressing full pulse forwarding interference.

[0055] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the key parameter is an array element pulse codeword group, and the optimal key parameter is an optimal array element pulse codeword group.

[0056] The present invention is described by the following examples, including:

[0057] S11. Analyze the EPC-MIMO model and determine the key parameters for suppressing full pulse forwarding interference. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0058] Consider the number of receiving antennas is N r , the number of transmitting antennas is N t For a co-located MIMO radar with an array element spacing of d, under the assumption that the target is in the far field, the nth t The mth pulse signal of the transmitting antenna It can be expressed as:

[0059]

[0060] In formula (1), j represents the imaginary unit, n t ∈{1,…,N t},n t represents the transmit antenna index, m∈{1,…,M}, m represents the waveform index, T r Indicates the pulse repetition period PRI, T p Indicates the transmit pulse width, f 0 represents the carrier frequency, rect(·) represents the gate signal, Indicates the nth t The baseband signals of the transmitting antennas are assumed to meet the orthogonality condition, and t represents the time. In addition:

[0061]

[0062] Indicates the nth t The additional phase of the m-1th pulse radiated by the transmitting antenna, φ m Indicates the phase value of the pulse.

[0063] Assume that there is a far-field target at a distance r from the MIMO radar, and its azimuth and velocity relative to the antenna array are θ and v respectively. t The mth pulse s is transmitted by the transmitting antenna m (t) is:

[0064]

[0065] In formula (3), (·) T represents the transpose operation, then the nth r The echo signal received by the receiving antenna can be expressed as:

[0066]

[0067] In formula (4), σ 0 It represents the echo complex coefficient, which is determined by the electromagnetic wave transmission characteristics and the target scattering characteristics. f(θ) = dcos(θ) / λ, which represents the functional relationship between the transmitting and receiving angular frequencies. λ represents the electromagnetic wave wavelength, λ = c / f 0 , c represents the electromagnetic wave propagation speed, τ represents the echo delay, τ = 2(r-vt) / c, a(θ) represents the emission flow vector corresponding to the azimuth θ, which is generally calculated by formula (5):

[0068]

[0069] Through carrier frequency removal and channel matching processing, and taking advantage of the orthogonality between the waveforms transmitted by each channel, the nth r The echo signal received by the nth receiving antenna passes through t The output result after channel matching It can be expressed as:

[0070]

[0071] In formula (6), p represents the number of PRTs that the target echo delays entering the radar receiver, γ(τ-pT r ) represents the autocorrelation function between the signals radiated by different antennas.

[0072] Furthermore, for N r The echo signals of the receiving antennas are processed by multi-channel matching respectively, and we can get N t N r The processing result y of the receiving channel m (τ), which can be specifically expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] In formula (7), represents the Kronecker product, ⊙ represents the Hadamard product, φ represents the array element pulse phase symbol group, and b(θ) is the receiving flow vector corresponding to the azimuth angle θ, which can be expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] Combining the above content, it can be seen that the transmit and receive flow vector c(θ, p) corresponding to the echo signal can be expressed as formula (9):

[0077]

[0078] According to formula (9), the transmit and receive flow vector c(θ, p) is determined by the azimuth angle θ, the array element pulse code element group φ, and the number of PRTs p of the target echo delay entering the radar receiver. For real targets, they are often located within the maximum unambiguous distance range, at which time 0<τ<T r When p is 0, the corresponding transmit and receive flow vector c s (θ s ) is expressed as:

[0079]

[0080] In formula (10), θ s represents the target direction. I The false target at the azimuth angle and delayed by p PRIs has a receiving and sending flow vector c I (θ I ,p) is expressed as:

[0081]

[0082] From the above analysis, we can see that since the real target transmitting angular frequency and receiving angular frequency are both f(θ s ), its echo energy is concentrated on the diagonal of the transmit-receive two-dimensional angular frequency spectrum; since the false target transmit angular frequency is not equal to the receive angular frequency and is related to φ, the false target echo energy is diffusely distributed in the receive angular frequency dimension. Therefore, the true and false targets can be separated by designing φ, thereby realizing the anti-interference function.

[0083] S12. Based on the optimization criterion of maximizing the signal-to-interference-noise ratio, a mathematical expression for a non-convex quadratic optimization problem for characterizing the phase correlation of radar waveforms is established. Specifically:

[0084] Assume that there is an angle θ s , the echo power is The far-field target generates K false targets when escaping radar detection, with azimuth angles of θ I,1 ,…,θ I,K , the power is The number of delayed pulses is p 1 ,…,p K Assume that the system noise n is irrelevant and has a mean of 0 and a variance of R n The cyclically symmetric complex Gaussian distribution of is:

[0085]

[0086] In formula (12), represents the noise power, and I represents the unit array. Then the output SINR of the radar echo after waveform shaping at the target direction can be expressed as:

[0087]

[0088] In formula (13), (·) H represents the conjugate transpose operation, R s represents the target covariance matrix, R I Represents the interference covariance matrix, which can be specifically expressed as:

[0089]

[0090] When the beam processing weight w takes the value c s (θ s ), formula (13) can be re-expressed as:

[0091]

[0092] Under the maximization SINR criterion (optimization criterion for maximizing signal to interference noise ratio), the waveform optimization problem considered in the present invention can be expressed as formula (17):

[0093]

[0094] Since the signal component and the noise component in formula (17) are constants independent of φ, the above optimization problem can be equivalently expressed as formula (18):

[0095]

[0096] Furthermore, g(φ) can be expanded as:

[0097]

[0098] In formula (19), |·| 2 represents the square of the modulus,

[0099] Further, And let Λ=diag(V 1 ,…,V K ), then formula (19) can be written in the following quadratic form:

[0100] g(φ)=(e -jPφ ) H Λe -jPφ (20)

[0101] Therefore, formula (18) can be expressed as:

[0102]

[0103] Formula (21) is the mathematical expression of the non-convex quadratic optimization problem used to characterize the phase correlation of radar waveform.

[0104] S13, using a conjugate gradient algorithm based on line search to solve the mathematical expression, specifically:

[0105] For formula (21), a literature has proposed an adaptive gradient solution method, which minimizes the objective function by continuously reducing the descent step size during the iteration process, but cannot guarantee that the objective function value decreases monotonically at each iteration. In this regard, the present invention uses a conjugate gradient algorithm based on line search to solve this problem. For the smooth function f(x), the standard gradient descent algorithm starts from the initial random point Start the following iterative process:

[0106] x k+1 =x k +μ k d k (twenty two)

[0107] In formula (22), k ≥ 0 and k is an integer, d k Indicates the descending direction, μ k Represents the search step size. Different descent direction selection strategies will produce different gradient-based optimization algorithms, specifically:

[0108] When k =-Gradf(x)+β k-1 d k-1 When , the resulting gradient descent method is the conjugate gradient method. Among them, Gradf(x) represents the gradient of f(x), β k-1 represents the gradient weighted parameter. Accordingly, its iterative process can be further expressed as:

[0109] x k+1 =x k +μ k (-Gradf(x)+β k-1 d k-1 ) (twenty three)

[0110] For the objective function g(φ), when the conjugate gradient method is used to iteratively find its minimum value, the descent direction at each iteration is expressed as:

[0111] d k = -Gradg(φ k )+βk-1 d k-1 (twenty four)

[0112] In formula (24), the parameter β k-1 Select according to the Polark-Ribière parameter rule, Gradg(φ k ) represents the gradient of the objective function at the kth iteration.

[0113] Combining the above, the iterative process of solving the minimum value of the objective function g(φ) can be expressed as:

[0114] φk +1 =φ k -μ k (Gradg(φ k )-β k-1 d k-1 ) (25)

[0115] In formula (25), the function gradient Gradg(φ) can be specifically calculated as:

[0116]

[0117] The function gradient Gradg(φ) is used to calculate the gradient of the objective function at any iteration.

[0118] In addition, in order to ensure that the objective function g(φ) is monotonically non-increasing at each iteration, the search step size μ is determined by line search. k The implementation process of the specific search method can be expressed as the pseudo code in Table 1, where <·> represents the inner product operation. In Table 1, when the decrease value of the objective function g(φ) is less than the preset threshold, the step size μ is reduced. k , until the loop end condition is met. Among them, the decrease value of the objective function g(φ) is obtained by Calculated, the preset threshold is obtained by The calculation shows that the loop end condition is:

[0119] Table 1:

[0120]

[0121] In combination with the above content, the specific implementation process of the conjugate gradient algorithm based on line search of the present invention is the pseudo code in Table 2.

[0122] Table 2:

[0123]

[0124]

[0125] Next, the proposed method is verified through simulation experiments. Specifically:

[0126] In the experiment, the MIMO antenna array element spacing d is set to 0.15m, the number of transmitting and receiving antenna elements M and N are both set to 16, and the carrier frequency f 0 Set to 1GHz, target azimuth angle θ s =90°. The number of false interference targets K = 3, and the azimuth angle of the interference source θ I,1 ,θ I,2 With θ I,3 They are 80°, 90° and 100° respectively, and the pulse delay numbers are 3, 4 and 5. The experiments were carried out under the Manopt framework.

[0127] First, the convergence performance of the proposed algorithm is verified. In the experiment, the maximum number of iterations is set to 100, and the parameter δ in the iteration stop criterion is set to 10. -3 In addition, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the signal to interference ratio (SIR) corresponding to the three false targets are both 0dB.

[0128] Figure 2 The graph shows the change curve of the objective function value and the gradient norm value with the number of iterations. As can be seen from the figure, as the number of iterations increases, the gradient norm value shows an overall downward trend, and the iteration stops when the convergence condition is reached. At the same time, observing the objective function value change curve, it can be seen that as the iteration continues, the objective function value shows a monotonically decreasing characteristic, which further verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in the present invention.

[0129] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The optimized coding phase value and its corresponding target transmission-reception two-dimensional angular frequency spectrum are shown respectively. Figure 3 It can be seen that the optimized phase code values ​​are all between 0 and 2π, which meets the previous assumptions about φ. Since the receiving flow vector of the real target does not have a modulation term related to pulse delay, its transmitting and receiving angular frequencies are both f(θ s ), so its energy should be concentrated in the diagonal part of the two-dimensional angular spectrum. Figure 4 It can be seen that the target two-dimensional angular frequency spectrum is concentrated in the center of the image and is above the diagonal line. The experimental results are consistent with expectations.

[0130] Figure 5 is one of the angular frequency spectra of the false target, Figure 6 This is the second angular frequency spectrum of the false target. Figure 7 This is the third angular frequency spectrum of the false target. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7Specifically, the transmit-receive two-dimensional angular frequency spectrum of the false target with three parameters is shown. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The area defined by the rectangular box in is the main range of the energy distribution of the real target. Since the emission flow vectors of the three false targets are a(θ I,k )⊙exp(-jp k φ) and the receiving flow vector b(θ I,k ) are not equal, so its energy distribution peak will deviate from the diagonal of the two-dimensional angular spectrum and show a certain translation characteristic on the receiving angular frequency axis. Observing the three spectra, it can be seen that the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen from the rectangular box area in the figure that the optimized phase code group makes the energy distribution peak of the false target avoid the target peak area, which makes it possible to achieve cognitive anti-interference through digital beamforming technology in the future.

[0131] In order to further verify the robustness of the proposed method, the present invention further explores the output SINR performance under different numbers of false targets and different numbers of pulse delays.

[0132] First, the influence of the number of false targets on the output SINR value is explored. In the experimental process, it is assumed that the target azimuth is 90°, the number of false targets is K, and they are randomly distributed in the angle range of 80° to 100°. The pulse delay number of all false targets is set to 3, the input SIR is set to -20dB, and the maximum number of iterations is set to 50.

[0133] Figure 8 The output SINR value changes with the number of false targets. As can be seen from the figure, as the number of false targets gradually increases, the output SINR based on the conjugate gradient algorithm and the output SINR based on the adaptive gradient algorithm both show a downward trend. It is worth noting that compared with the adaptive gradient algorithm, the method proposed in the present invention can not only achieve a higher output SINR gain, but also has better robustness.

[0134] The present invention further explores the influence of different pulse delay numbers on the output SINR value. During the experiment, the real target azimuth is set to 90°, and K multiple false targets are randomly distributed in the angle range of 80° to 100°, and their respective pulse delay numbers are 1, 2, ..., K', K'=K. Fig. 9 The output SINR value changes with the pulse delay number. As can be seen from the figure, with the gradual increase of the pulse delay number, the output SINR values ​​of the two algorithms show a downward trend. In addition, compared with the adaptive gradient algorithm, the method proposed in the present invention has certain advantages in output SINR gain value and robustness.

[0135] The present invention aims at the problem of suppressing the main lobe full pulse forwarding interference. Under the EPC-MIMO waveform system, the present invention proposes a phase code group optimization method based on the line search conjugate gradient method. The method first establishes a quadratic optimization problem related to the waveform phase based on the optimization criterion of maximizing the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). Then, by solving the optimal array element pulse code element group, the phase of the radar waveform is optimized according to the optimal array element pulse code element group. The proposed method makes the false echo energy distributed outside the true target echo energy area without changing the true target echo characteristics, thereby realizing the suppression of forwarding deception interference, and effectively solves the problem that the objective function in the adaptive gradient descent algorithm cannot converge monotonically. The simulation experimental results show that the method proposed by the present invention can not only effectively suppress the interference of multiple false targets generated by the full pulse forwarding jammer, but also has better SINR gain performance and better robustness than the classical method.

[0136] In the above embodiments, although the steps are numbered S1, S2, etc., these are only specific embodiments given by the present invention. Those skilled in the art may adjust the execution order of S1, S2, etc. according to actual conditions, which is also within the protection scope of the present invention.
