The invention belongs to the technical field of antenna
engineering, and particularly provides a conformal digital-analog
hybrid array multi-beam forming method, which is used for solving the problem of multi-beam forming optimization of a conformal array under a digital-analog
hybrid array architecture. According to the method, firstly, accurate modeling is carried out on the conformal digital-analog
hybrid array, then, a far-field
radiation model is established for the multi-beam forming problem, finally, the initial
optimization problem which is difficult to solve is converted into a plurality of sub-problems with closed-form solutions to carry out distributed iteration solving, the solving speed is high, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. And the analog weight and the digital weight can be converged to optimal values at the same time, so that conformal digital-analog
hybrid array multi-beam forming is completed. Moreover, the invention can realize the functions of controllable
dynamic range of
array element level
simulation weight amplitude, controllable
main lobe shape and width, controllable multi-beam quantity, free configuration of analog-digital
mixing ratio and the like, has extremely high flexibility, and can adapt to the requirements of different application scenes.
