Problems solved by technology

[0004] In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a lot of research on the optimization of radar target detection performance based on waveform design theory. Moran and Sira et al. designed and optimized waveforms based on ambiguity function theory. By aligning the groove of the ambiguity function side lobe with strong clutter, Reduce the influence of clutter and improve the signal-to-clutter ratio, but a large number of parameters need to be called, and the calculation complexity is high, which cannot meet the real-time requirements of cognitive radar; optimization, but this method does not consider the influence of environmental clutter; Sadjad et al. designed a fixed-form transmit waveform covariance matrix with the goal of maximizing the output SINR, but this method is only suitable for discontinuous strong clutter In the case of wave points, and without considering the target Doppler; Wang Peng et al. proposed a radar with 9 subcarriers in their paper "Orthogonal Multi-Carrier Radar Waveform Design Suitable for Missile Platforms" Waveform design method, which adopts pulse-to-pulse waveform agility and subcarrier frequency domain weighting technology, but this method is only designed for the transmit waveform, without considering the joint optimization of the receiver, and is only applicable to the collaborative work of multiple missile-borne radars ; Northwest University Yan Qing and others proposed a high-speed missile-borne radar waveform design method in the patent "A high-speed missile-borne radar waveform design method" (application number: 201710154330.X, publication number: 106940442). Mainly through the technology of millimeter wave, large bandwidth, stepping frequency and high repetition frequency, it solves the phenomenon that the signal-to-noise ratio decreases, the main lobe clutter Doppler spectral width broadens, and the high-speed movement between the missile and the target causes the target to move beyond the distance. However, the method is still limited to single carrier frequency waveforms
