Focusing on the issue that the Signal-to-Clutter-and-Noise Ratio (SCNR) of echo signal is low when cognitive radar detects extended target, a waveform design method based on SCNR was proposed. Firstly, the relation between the SCNR of cognitive radar echo signal and the Energy Spectral Density (ESD) of transmitted signal, was gotten by establishing extended target detection model other than previous point target model; secondly, according to the maximum SCNR criterion, the global optimal solution of the transmitted signal ESD was deduced; finally, in order to get a meaningful time-domain signal, ESD was synthesized to be a constant amplitude based on phase-modulation after combining with the Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) and iterative algorithm, which met the emission requirements of radar. In the simulation, the amplitude of time-domain synthesized signal is uniform, and its SCNR at the output of the matched filter is 19.133 dB, only 0.005 dB less than the ideal value. The results show that not only can the time-domain waveform meet the requirement of constant amplitude, but also the SCNR obtained at receiver output can achieve the best approximation to the ideal value, and it improves the performance of the extended target detection.
Concerning the ranging inaccuracy problem based on radio signal phase information under multi-path environments, a two-step ranging approach based on double tags was proposed. Each target was attached with double tags. Through single frequency subcarrier amplitude modulation, firstly, the wrapped phase information of carrier signal was extracted, the distance between reader and tag within half wavelength of carrier signal was calculated and fine ranging estimation value was achieved. Secondly, the unwrapped phase information of subcarrier signal was extracted, and the integral multiple of half wavelength within the distance of reader and tag was calculated. Thirdly, the average multiple was calculated between double tags, the distance of average multiple of half wavelength was used as coarse ranging value. Finally, the final ranging result was estimated by the sum of the fine ranging value and coarse ranging value. Additionally, single reader and double-tag based geometric localization method was introduced to reduce the cost of hardware facilities. The simulation results show that, under multi-path environments, compared with the directly ranging with subcarrier phase, the average ranging error of double tags based two-step ranging approach is reduced by 35%, and the final average localization error is about 0.43 m, and the maximum error is about 1 m. The proposed approach can effectively improve the accuracy of phase based localization technology and also reduce the hardware cost.
Conventional Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) estimation approaches suffer from low angular resolution or relying on a large number of snapshots. The sparsity-based SPICE can work with few snapshots and has high resolution and low sidelobe level, but it only applies to narrowband signals. To solve the above problems, a new FrFT-SPICE method was proposed to estimate the DOA of wideband chirp signals with high resolution based on a few snapshots. First, the wideband chirp signal was taken on the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) under a specific order so that the chirp wave in time domain could be converted into sine wave with single frequency in FrFT domain. Then, the steering vector of the received signal was obtained in FrFT domain. Finally, SPICE algorithm was utilized with the obtained steering vector to estimate the DOA of the wideband chirp. In the simulation with the same scanning grid and same snapshots, the DOA resolution level of the proposed FrFT-SPICE method was better than that of the FrFT-MUSIC method which combines MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm and FrFT algorithm; and compared to the SR-IAA which utilizes Spatial Resampling (SR) and IAA (Iterative Adaptive Approach), the proposed method had a better accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed method can estimate the DOA of wideband chirp signals with high accuracy and resolution based on only a few snapshots.
According to the problem of the traditional Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) such as falling into the local minimum point easily, a hybrid algorithm based on Estimation of Distribution (ED) and gravitational search (GSEDA) was proposed. By characterizing the distribution of current solutions found by GSA, ED was used to generate promising solutions based on the constructed probability matrix, thus guiding the search to new solution areas. The proposed GSEDA was able to balance the exploration and exploitation of the search, therefore possessing a better local optima jumping capacity. The experimental results based on the traveling salesman problem indicate that GSEDA performs better than traditional algorithms in terms of solution quality and robustness.
