摘要: 针对高速运动平台MIMO雷达地面动目标“三跨”运动及补偿的问题,建立空间模型,导出了回波时延和发射方向图随时间及周期变化的公式。分析了回波的特性,给出“三跨”走动的表达式,提出了用预补偿校正目标跨距离单元走动和跨波束走动,并结合分数阶傅里叶变换(FrFT)补偿目标跨多普勒单元走动的方法。该方法可以实现对目标“三跨”运动的同时补偿,且由于预补偿是对发射信号进行处理,其计算量远低于现有的补偿算法。最后用MIMO雷达稀布阵的思想,采用“稀疏发射紧凑接收”的方式进行跨波束走动及补偿的仿真,仿真结果证明了预补偿与FrFT相结合的补偿方法对于“三跨”走动补偿的有效性。Abstract: According to the problem of the ‘three crossing’ motions and compensations for the ground moving target of high speed moving multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) radar, a space model is established and the equations of delay and transmit pattern which is changing with time and period are educed. The echo characteristics are analyzed and the formulas of ‘three crossing’ are derived. A compensation method is proposed by using pre-process to compensate crossing range-cell and crossing-beam and by applying FrFT to compensate crossing Doppler-cell. The method could compensate ‘three crossing’ simultaneously with much less calculating quantities than methods presented before as pre-process of the transmit signals. At last, the phantom antenna array is used in the simulations, and the ‘sparse transmit dense receive’ is applied to the simulation of crossing-beam and its compensation. The results of simulations demonstrate the validity of the method combining pre-process and FrFT to compensate ‘three crossing’.
