The invention belongs to the field of centralized
MIMO (
Multiple Input Multiple Output)
radar signal detection, and relates to a self-adaptive
detector algorithm for a weak moving target, combined with an optimized quantizer based on a PSO-SA (
Particle Swarm Optimization-Sub-Association)
algorithm and based on G-LMP (Gradient-Local Maximum Potential) detection of a local maximum potential
algorithm under a low-bit quantization condition. The method specifically comprises the following steps: S1, setting a
radar system model, setting a centralized
MIMO radar, and performing multi-input and multi-output; s2, transmitting and receiving at the same time by each antenna to obtain a radar
echo signal, and performing low-bit quantization
processing on the received
signal; s3, adopting a similar GLRT thought, and designing a G-LMP detection algorithm based on a local maximum potential; and S4, designing a quantizer based on a PSO-SA algorithm obtained by combining a
particle swarm algorithm and a
simulated annealing algorithm, and carrying out multiple iterations to obtain an appropriate quantization threshold value so as to improve the
detection performance. Under the condition that a large amount of echo data is obtained by a centralized
MIMO radar, a low-bit sampling method is introduced, the occupied bandwidth is reduced, the
detector with better performance is designed, and compared with a single traditional
detector, the
detection performance is effectively improved while the operation cost is reduced.
