长摘要
随着数字射频存储器技术的快速发展,干扰机可通过对雷达信号存储转发,在主瓣形成密集假目标,降低了目标估计精度与跟踪准确性,对传统雷达提出了严峻的挑战。针对这一主瓣多假目标干扰的对抗难题,本文提出一种基于阵元脉冲编码多输入多输出(ElementPulse Coding Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,EPC-MIMO)波形自适应设计的干扰抑制与认知方法。阵元脉冲编码是指对MIMO雷达不同通道辐射的不同脉冲初相进行编码,可充分调用雷达阵元与脉冲二维优化资源,在不影响目标回波空域分布特性前提下,自适应调整假目标空域能量分布。利用该特性,本文首先以假目标能量在空域检测区域内极小化为优化目标设计EPC-MIMO波形,其物理意义为将假目标移出目标主瓣区域,实现真假目标空域解耦。进而,通过数字波束形成处理,可在无信噪比损失情况下实现假目标有效抑制。此外,鉴于EPC-MIMO 波形的自适应设计需要干扰先验信息,本文还提出一种基于随机EPC-MIMO波形的干扰快速认知方法,在少量脉冲重复周期内即实现假目标先验知识的获取,从而形成干扰认知-波形设计闭环系统。仿真实验验证了所提波形设计方法在低信干比、多假目标场景下依旧具备稳健的干扰抑制性能,所提干扰认知方法可在较短时间内准确获取干扰参数,满足战场实时性要求。

Abstract:

A multiple false targets deception jamming suppression method based on the optimization design of the element-pulse coding multiple-input multiple-output(EPC-MIMO) waveform is proposed. EPC can change the energy distribution of false targets in the transmitting frequency domain but not affect the true target. Using this feature, this paper optimizes the EPC-MIMO waveform with the objective function of minimizing the spatial correlation between the real and false targets. It can distribute the jamming energy outside the target airspace detection area. And then false targets can be effectively suppressed at the receiving end by digital beam forming. At the same time, since this method is realized under the condition of jamming cognition, this paper also proposes a fast jamming cognition method based on EPC-MIMO waveform to form a waveform design-jamming cognition closed-loop system. Simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Extended Abstract
With the rapid development of digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) technology, the jammer can form dense false targets in the mainlobe of radar by storing and forwarding radar signals. It reduces the target estimation and tracking accuracy, posing a serious challenge to traditional radar systems. To address the countermeasure problem of mainlobe multiple false target jamming, this paper proposes a jamming suppression and cognition method based on adaptive element-pulse coding multiple-input multiple-output (EPC-MIMO) waveform design. EPC refers to the coding of different pulse initial phases radiated by different channels of MIMO radar. It can make full use of radar two-dimensional anti-jamming resources, including array elements and pulses, to adaptively adjust the spatial energy distribution of false targets. At the same time, it will not affect the spatial distribution characteristics of the target echo. Using this feature, this paper first designs the EPC-MIMO waveform with the optimization objective of minimizing the false target energy in the spatial detection region. Its physical significance is to move the false target out of the target mainlobe region and achieve the decoupling of true and false targets in the spatial domain. Then, through digital beamforming (DBF) processing, false targets can be effectively suppressed without signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss. In addition, since the adaptive design of the EPC-MIMO waveform requires jamming prior information, this paper also proposes a fast jamming cognition method based on random EPC-MIMO waveform. It realizes the acquisition of a priori knowledge of false targets within a small number of pulse repetition intervals (PRI), resulting in a closed-loop system for jamming cognition-waveform design. Simulation results verify that the proposed waveform design method still performs robust jamming suppression in low signal-to-jamming ratio and multiple false target scenarios. And the proposed jamming cognition method can accurately acquire jamming parameters in a short time to meet the real-time battlefield requirements.
