导引头角闪烁抑制方法探究

雷达目标角闪烁(即视在角位置的变化)是目标后向散射波中的一种干扰现象,它是由复杂目标的多散射中心引起的一种相位迭加畸变效应。在导引头的末段制导过程中,角闪烁将成为主要的角误差因素,它严重地降低了导引精度,甚至可能导致对目标的失踪。 选用一架实际的T-33飞机建立目标模型。近似模型由8个散射中心构成。利用矢量相干求和及坡印亭矢量概念,导出了目标RCS和角闪烁线偏差公式,并得出了几条特定轨迹上导引头跟踪目标的模拟结果。RCS与角闪烁间的负相关性得到了验证。此外,给出了临界去相关频率,概率密度函数以及角闪烁功率谱。为抑制角闪烁,模拟了频率捷变与极化分集时的六种RCS加权处理方法。结果表明,对那些利用了RCS与角闪烁间负相关性的加权方法,经加权处理后,角闪烁的均方根线偏差将被抑制到一个较小的量级。其中频率捷变方法可望得到更好的结果。

AN APPROACH TO SUPPRESSION OF TARGET GLINT OF HOMING SEEKERS

The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways of suppressing the radar target glint. An actual T-33 aircraft is chosen for establishing the target model. The approximate model consists of eight scattering centers. The formulas for the target RCS and glint linear deviation are developed by using Poynting vector concept. For several special trajectories the negative cross-correlation between RCS and glint is verified. Moreover, the critical decorrelation frequency, the probability density function and the glint spectral density are given. In order to suppress the glint of radar target, methods of frequency agility, polarization diversity and RCS weighting processing are adopted. Of these methods, the frequency agility method is expected to give better results.
