The present invention discloses a waveform optimization method and
system for improving the accuracy of
radar angle
estimation, and relates to the technical field of
radar transmission waveform optimization. The method comprises: step S1, using a
MIMO radar to transmit a first transmission waveform to space, the first transmission waveform is used to roughly detect the angle and amplitude information of an aerial target; step S2, using the angle and amplitude information of the aerial target to generate an optimized second transmission waveform, using the
MIMO radar to transmit the second transmission waveform to the space, the second transmission waveform is used to determine the precise position of the aerial target. The method can automatically obtain the rough position and amplitude of the target, and use the information to design a transmission waveform to improve the angle
estimation accuracy; through the low peak-to-average ratio constraint, the transmission waveform can be power amplified by a
nonlinear amplifier, improve the transmission efficiency, reduce the
distortion of the transmission waveform, and reduce the difficulty and cost of
engineering implementation; the proposed
algorithm can ensure convergence, and the complexity of the
algorithm is low; in addition, the designed waveform can improve the angle resolution capability of the MUSIC
algorithm, and has a certain robustness, and can better adapt to complex electromagnetic environments.
