Direct data domain approach to space-time adaptive processing

In non-homogeneous environment, traditional space-time adaptive processing doesn＇t effectively suppress interference and detect target, because the secondary data don＇ t exactly reflect the statistical characteristic of the range cell under test. A ravel methodology utilizing the direct data domain approach to space-time adaptive processing （ STAP ） in airbome radar non-homogeneous environments is presented. The deterministic least squares adaptive signal processing technique operates on a ＂snapshot-by-snapshot＂ basis to dethrone the adaptive adaptive weights for nulling interferences and estimating signal of interest （SOI）. Furthermore, this approach eliminates the requirement for estimating the covariance through the data of neighboring range cell, which eliminates calculating the inverse of covariance, and can be implemented to operate in real-time. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of interference suppression in non-homogeneous environment.

STATISTICAL SPACE-TIME ADAPTIVE PROCESSING ALGORITHM

For the slowly changed environment-range-dependent non-homogeneity, a new statistical space-time adaptive processing algorithm is proposed, which uses the statistical methods, such as Bayes or likelihood criterion to estimate the approximative covariance matrix in the non-homogeneous condition. According to the statistical characteristics of the space-time snapshot data, via defining the aggregate snapshot data and corresponding events, the conditional probability of the space-time snapshot data which is the effective training data is given, then the weighting coefficients are obtained for the weighting method. The theory analysis indicates that the statistical methods of the Bayes and likelihood criterion for covariance matrix estimation are more reasonable than other methods that estimate the covariance matrix with the use of training data except the detected outliers. The last simulations attest that the proposed algorithms can estimate the covariance in the non-homogeneous condition exactly and have favorable characteristics.

基于自适应字典校正的稀疏恢复STAP算法

空时自适应处理(Space-Time Adaptive Processing,STAP)技术在时间维(脉冲维)和空间维(阵元维)联合进行信号处理,以实现动目标检测功能。但是,传统STAP技术的计算复杂度非常高,而且在优化处理信号过程中需要大样本的支撑,在实际的工作场景中,杂波环境复杂易变,不易获取足够多的独立同分布样本,因此杂波抑制效果较差。稀疏恢复空时自适应处理(Sparse Recovery Space-Time Adaptive Processing,SR-STAP)算法可以利用很少的训练样本实现杂波抑制,但大多数SR-STAP算法的计算量巨大,运行速度慢,算法实时性不高。此外,SRSTAP算法需要对连续空时二维平面进行离散化处理,将空时二维平面划分为很多细小的网格,由于真实的杂波在空时平面上是连续分布的,同时考虑雷达接收信号中噪声、系统参数误差等因素的影响,真实杂波点与离散化网格点之间一定存在着偏差,会造成网格失配现象,导致SR-STAP算法杂波抑制性能下降。针对此问题,本文提出了基于自适应字典校正的稀疏恢复STAP算法。该算法首先通过子空间投影法筛选出与杂波最相关的原子;然后围绕选定原子由粗到细进行自适应局部网格划分,按照局部网格迭代选优准则,不断调整选择局域内的最优原子,直到满足迭代终止条件,以匹配真实的杂波点;最后利用选定的最优原子对应的空时导向矢量构造杂波子空间,更新噪声子空间上与杂波子空间正交的投影矩阵得到STAP权值。仿真实验表明,所提算法与传统SR-STAP算法相比,具有更高的稀疏恢复精度,更快的运行速度,改善了STAP性能。

一种双天线GNSS接收机混合干扰抑制方法

相对于单天线GNSS接收机,阵列GNSS接收机具有空间分辨能力,当干扰信号与卫星信号在时域频域上产生混叠时,其能够从空域上对干扰信号进行抑制,具有更强的干扰抑制能力。但阵列GNSS接收机相对于单天线GNSS接收机需要更多的阵元,随着阵元数目的增加,系统成本也相应的增加,限制了阵列GNSS接收机的应用范围。双天线GNSS接收机既具有空域抗干扰能力,同时又具有价格低廉的特点,是一种较好的折中选择。对于单一的连续波干扰,其能够产生很好的抑制效果,但是当连续波干扰中混有脉冲干扰时,由于受到自由度的限制,双天线GNSS接收机无法对混合干扰进行有效抑制,进而影响接收机的正常工作。针对于上述问题,本文提出一种新的混合干扰抑制算法。首先利用脉冲的时域特征,对待处理信号进行分块处理,确保至少有一个数据块中不含有脉冲干扰,随后对不含脉冲干扰的数据块,使用空时最小功率(Space-Time Adaptive Processing Power Inversion,STAP-PI)算法得到最优权值,然后利用该权值抑制原信号中的连续波干扰。最后,对处理之后信号中残余的脉冲干扰进行时域置零处理,从而达到抑制混合干扰的目的。仿真实验和实采实验结果均证明了所提算法的有效性。

基于原型滤波器的OTFS通感一体信号技术

随着无线技术的快速发展,无线设备呈现爆炸式增长趋势,导致频谱资源日益稀缺,雷达和通信频段不断重叠。为了避免无线通信和雷达感知之间的相互干扰,学术界广泛研究了通信感知一体化(Integrated Sensing and Communication,ISAC)技术,并且重点关注了正交时频空(Orthogonal Time Frequency Space,OTFS)信号。OTFS信号具备实现无线通信与雷达感知一体化的潜力。然而,分数多普勒会抬高OTFS多普勒旁瓣,引起多普勒弥散效应,不仅在通信数据与通信数据之间、通信数据与雷达数据之间产生严重干扰,还将导致微弱目标被强目标旁瓣淹没,进而影响雷达探测概率和通信信道估计精度,恶化整体性能。针对分数多普勒导致的OTFS性能下降问题,提出了基于原型滤波器的OTFS通感一体化信号设计方法。通过原型滤波器调理多普勒旁瓣,在不显著损失多普勒分辨率的同时,抑制多普勒弥散效应,提升检测概率,降低误码率。针对OTFS互相关匹配滤波信道估计算法计算复杂度高等问题,进一步提出了利用恒虚警率(Constant False Alarm Rate,CFAR)检测进行信道估计的思路,在降低计算复杂度的同时,稳健检测出了同一时延、不同多普勒的多个目标,保障了信道估计和目标检测性能。依据理论分析和仿真实验可知,本文可将分数多普勒条件下的通信误码率降低2个数量级。
