Multi-dimensional scattering properties diagnosis system of scale aircraft model in an anechoic chamber

Aiming at the concept of ＂diagnosis＂, a simple and effective broadband radar cross section （RCS） measurement system is constructed, and some multi-dimensional scattering properties diagnosis techniques are presented based on the system. Firstly, a stepped-frequency signal is employed to achieve high range resolution, combining with a variety of signal processing tech- niques. Secondly, cross-range resolution is gained with a rotating table, and the high-resolution two-dimensional （2-D） imaging of the scale model is obtained by the microwave imaging theory. Finally, two receiving antennas with a small distance in altitude are used, and the three-dimensional （3-D） height distribution of scattering points on the scale model is extracted from the phase of images. Some typical bodies and a scale aircraft model are diagnosed in an anechoic chamber. The experimental results show that, after scaling with a metal sphere, the accurate one- dimensional （l-D） RCS pattern of the model is obtained, and it has a large dynamic range. When the bandwidth of the transmitting signal is 4 GHz, the resolution of the 2-D image can reach to 0.037 5 m. The 3-D height distribution of scattering points is given by interferometric measurement. This paper provides a feasible way to obtain high-precision scattering properties parameters of the scale aircraft model in a conventional rectangular anechoic chamber.     

Velocity compensation methods for LPRF modulated frequency stepped-frequency（MFSF） radar

In the high speed target environment, there exists serious Doppler effect in the low pulse repetition frequency (LPRF) modulated frequency stepped frequency (MFSF) radar signal. The velocity range of the target is large and the velocity is high ambiguous, so the single method is difficult to satisfy the velocity measurement requirement. For this problem, a novel method is presented, it is a combination of cross-correlation inner frame velocity measurement and range-Doppler coupling velocity measurement. The cross-correlation inner frame method, overcoming the low Doppler tolerance of the cross-correlation between frames, can obtain the coarse velocity of the high speed target, and then the precision velocity can be obtained with the range-Doppler coupling method. The simulation results confirm the method is effective, and also it is well real-time and easy to the project application.

Polyphase coded signal design for MIMO radar using MO-MicPSO

A novel modified optimization technique known as the multi-objective micro particle swarm optimization(MO-MicPSO) is proposed for polyphase coded signal design.The proposed MO-MicPSO requires only a small population size compared with the standard particle swarm optimization that uses a larger population size.This new method is guided by an elite archive to finish the multi-objective optimization.The orthogonal polyphase coded signal(OPCS) can fundamentally improve the multiple input multiple output(MIMO) radar system performance,with which the radar system has high resolution and abundant signal channels.Simulation results on the polyphase coded signal design show that the MO-MicPSO can perform quite well for this high-dimensional multi-objective optimized problem.Compared with particle swarm optimization or genetic algorithm,the proposed MO-MicPSO has a better optimized efficiency and less time consumption.
