Description

基于发射能量集中的双基地MIMO雷达角度估计方法An Angle Estimation Method for Bistatic MIMO Radar Based on Transmit Energy Concentration

技术领域technical field

本发明属于雷达技术领域,更进一步涉及双基地MIMO雷达角度估计方法,可用于改善传统双基地MIMO雷达在测角过程中各个方向的发射增益都比较均匀而造成的能量损失问题。The invention belongs to the technical field of radar, and further relates to a bistatic MIMO radar angle estimation method, which can be used to improve the problem of energy loss caused by uniform transmission gains in all directions of the traditional bistatic MIMO radar in the angle measurement process.

背景技术Background technique

与传统的相控阵雷达相比,MIMO雷达近年来引起了广泛的关注,MIMO雷达是在常规相控阵雷达的基础上要求发射天线发射不完全相关的波形,当发射正交波形时就可以使得信号在空域的覆盖范围更广泛,在信号处理时,就可以同时形成多波束来覆盖空域范围。Compared with the traditional phased array radar, MIMO radar has attracted extensive attention in recent years. MIMO radar is based on the conventional phased array radar and requires the transmitting antenna to transmit incompletely correlated waveforms. When transmitting orthogonal waveforms, it can be used. The coverage of the signal in the airspace is wider, and during signal processing, multiple beams can be formed to cover the airspace at the same time.

在双基地MIMO雷达中,波离角DOD指的是雷达发射信号方向与发射天线法线的夹角,波达角DOA指的是目标回波方向与接收天线法线的夹角。波离角和波达角的角度测量是双基地MIMO雷达的一个重要研究领域。双基地MIMO雷达波离角和波达角的测角方法现阶段主要是基于子空间类的算法,基于子空间类的算法中常用的是ESPRIT算法和MUSIC算法。相比于MUSIC算法,ESPRIT算法通过两个特性完全相同的子阵,利用旋转不变技术,避免了MUSIC算法的谱峰搜索,具有更好的稳健性。In a bistatic MIMO radar, the wave departure angle DOD refers to the angle between the direction of the radar's transmitted signal and the normal of the transmitting antenna, and the angle of arrival DOA refers to the angle between the direction of the target echo and the normal to the receiving antenna. The angle measurement of wave departure and arrival angles is an important research area for bistatic MIMO radars. At present, the angle measurement methods of bistatic MIMO radar wave departure angle and arrival angle are mainly based on subspace class algorithms, and ESPRIT algorithm and MUSIC algorithm are commonly used in subspace class algorithms. Compared with the MUSIC algorithm, the ESPRIT algorithm uses the rotation-invariant technology to avoid the spectral peak search of the MUSIC algorithm through two sub-arrays with identical characteristics, and has better robustness.

在文献“Angle estimation using ESPRIT in MIMO radar”中提出了基于ESPRIT算法的双基地MIMO雷达角度估计方法,上述文献中该ESPRIT算法采用波形分集技术,即其发射波形是完全正交的,通过对目标回波数据求解自相关矩阵并进行特征值分解,从而得到包含目标波离角和波达角信息的信号子空间;然而,由于采用完全正交的发射波形,导致各个方向的发射增益都比较均匀,在已知目标相对于发射阵列的角度区域的情况下,实际上降低了发射的相干增益并导致了测角性能的降低,这是传统双基地MIMO雷达测角的一个显著缺点。In the document "Angle estimation using ESPRIT in MIMO radar", a bistatic MIMO radar angle estimation method based on ESPRIT algorithm is proposed. In the above document, the ESPRIT algorithm adopts waveform diversity technology, that is, its transmit waveform is completely orthogonal. The echo data solves the autocorrelation matrix and performs eigenvalue decomposition to obtain the signal subspace containing the information of the departure angle and the arrival angle of the target wave; however, due to the use of completely orthogonal transmit waveforms, the transmit gain in all directions is relatively uniform , where the angular region of the target relative to the transmit array is known, it actually reduces the coherence gain of the transmit and results in degraded goniometric performance, which is a significant disadvantage of traditional bistatic MIMO radar goniometric.
