The invention discloses a method for simulating distributed type
MIMO sky wave beyond
visual range radar sea
clutter, and belongs to the field of
radar radio wave propagation. An existing simulating method is mainly suitable for a
sky wave beyond
visual range radar of a traditional (standard) single base or a double-base ground-
wave radar but not suitable for the situation of a distributed type
MIMO sky wave beyond
visual range radar, and not all physical factors are taken into consideration. The method is suitable for the situation of the distributed type
MIMO sky wave beyond visual range radar, the geometrical relationship between the incidence direction and returning scattering direction of receiving and sending channels relative to the sea surface of the observing area is calculated based on
digital ray tracing, and the scattering sectional area expression of normalization of double-base one-order and two-order sea
clutter of all the receiving and dispatching channels is inferred; after the scattering sectional area expression and the Doppler
transfer function of a receiving and dispatching propagation path are convoluted, the sea
clutter power
spectral density of the receiving end is obtained based on the
radar equation; lastly, the random
time sequence of sea clutter and
noise at the receiving end is obtained according to the power
spectral density. According to the
simulation method, the factors affecting the distributed type MIMO sky wave beyond visual range radar sea clutter are fully taken into consideration, precision is high, universality is good, and the method has popularization and application value.
