区别于现有发射正交频分复用(OFDM)多载波波形的谐振区雷达系统(RRRS),提出了拥有比传统OFDM 波形更窄频率间隔的密集多载波(DMC)雷达波形。在相同带宽内,DMC 波形包含了更多的子载波,从而能提供更高的频率分集。为了进一步提高检测性能,提出了一种新的最优权重累积目标检测(OWATD)方法。该方法采用最佳权重系数来累积不同频率的电磁回波,分析了当回波信噪比(SNR)趋于无穷大时的极限检测性能,并给出了采用 DMC 的 OWATD 方法优于采用 OFDM 的匹配滤波方法的条件。仿真结果表明,DMC 的目标检测性能优于 OFDM,而且 OWATD 方法可以进一步提高采用 DMC 和 OFDM波形的传统方法的检测性能。
Unlike the existing resonance region radar systems (RRRS ) that transmit the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)multi-carrier waveform,the dense multi-carrier (DMC)radar waveform which has a narrower frequency interval than the traditional OFDM waveform is proposed.Therefore,in the same frequency bandwidth,the DMC waveform contains more sub-carriers and provides more frequency diversity.Additionally,to further improve detection performance,a novel optimal weight accumulation target detection (OWATD)method is proposed,where the echo electromagnetic waves at different frequencies are accumulated with the optimal weight coefficients.Then,with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)of echo waveform approaching infinity,the asymptotic detection performance is analyzed, and the condition that the OWATD method with the DMC outperforms the matched filter with the OFDM is presented.Simulation results show that the DMC outperforms the OFDM in the target detection performance,and the OWATD method can further improve the detection performance of the traditional methods with both the OFDM and DMC radar waveform.
