基于深度学习的FDA-MIMO雷达协方差矩阵缺失数据恢复方法

Missing Covariance Matrix Recovery with the FDA-MIMO Radar Using Deep Learning Method

频控阵-多输入多输出(FDA-MIMO)雷达通过波束形成技术实现抗干扰的研究已经十分丰富。然而,在实际工作中,受元器件老化和存储设备容量等硬件因素的影响,计算得到的信号协方差矩阵可能会出现数据缺失的情况。为了克服协方差矩阵数据缺失对波束形成算法性能的影响,该文提出了一种基于深度学习的FDA-MIMO雷达协方差矩阵数据恢复方法,并建立了协方差矩阵恢复-自适应波束形成的两阶段处理框架;提出了一种双通道生成对抗网络(GAN)来解决矩阵数据恢复问题,该网络主要由鉴别器(D)和生成器(G)两部分组成:生成器主要功能是输出完整的矩阵数据,鉴别器则是判别数据为真实数据还是填补数据。整个网络通过鉴别器和生成器之间相互对抗使生成器生成样本接近于真实数据的分布,从而实现对协方差矩阵缺失数据的恢复。此外,考虑到协方差矩阵数据为复数,分别构造两个独立的GAN网络以满足矩阵数据实部和虚部的训练。最后,数值实验结果表明,协方差矩阵真实数据与恢复后的数据平均均方根误差仅为0.01量级,验证了所提方法能够有效恢复协方差矩阵的缺失数据。

The realization of anti-jamming technologies via beamforming for applications in Frequency-Diverse Arrays and Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output(FDA-MIMO)radar is a field that is undergoing intensive research.However,because of limitations in hardware systems,such as component aging and storage device capacity,the signal covariance matrix data computed by the receiver system may be missing.To mitigate the impact of the missing covariance matrix data on the performance of the beamforming algorithm,we have proposed a covariance matrix data recovery method for FDA-MIMO radar based on deep learning and constructed a two-stage framework based on missing covariance matrix recovery-adaptive beamforming.Furthermore,a learning framework based on this two-stage framework and the Generative Adversarial Network(GAN) is constructed, which is mainly composed of a discriminator (D) and a generator (G). G is primarily used to output complete matrix data, while D is used to judge whether this data is real or filled. The entire network closes the gap between the samples generated by G and the distribution of the real data via a confrontation between D and G, consequently leading to the missing data of the covariance matrix being recovered. In addition, considering that the covariance matrix data is complex, two independent networks are constructed to train the real and imaginary parts of the matrix data. Finally, the numerical experiment results reveal that the difference in the root square mean error levels between the real and recovery data is 0.01 in magnitude.
