Low-intercept Waveform Sequence Design Based on Iterative Quadratic Optimization Algorithm

College of Electronic Science, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China

摘要

摘要: 对抗条件下，低截获雷达通过发射特殊波形防止非合作电子侦察系统截获和检测其发射信号，是现代雷达技术的重点研究方向。该文旨在降低电子侦察系统的功率截获概率，在保证目标的辐射能量基础上，针对短时傅里叶变换(STFT)宽带数字侦察接收机特点，从能量的时频分布的角度将波形设计技术应用到无源对抗领域。首先，建立STFT宽带数字侦察接收机检测低截获模型，利用2次优化模型，将低截获问题转变为恒包络序列迭代优化问题；然后，为了获得较好的自相关性能，利用辅助标量，将优化模型转化为2次和形式，结合迭代算法得到了所提低截获波形序列；最后，讨论了计算复杂度。从仿真结果上看，所提序列比常见相位编码信号在相同的接收信噪比下具有更优的低截获能力，另外，引入Pareto权对所提序列的自相关特性进行控制，有效地提高了设计灵活性。

Abstract: In modern radar technology, a key research area is the design of special waveforms to prevent non-cooperative electronic reconnaissance systems from intercepting and detecting radar signals. This paper focuses on reducing the power interception probability of electronic reconnaissance systems while maintaining the radiation energy. Specifically, waveform design techniques are explored for passive countermeasures, considering the time-frequency distribution of energy and the characteristics of Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) wideband digital reconnaissance receivers. To address this, a low-intercept model for STFT wideband digital reconnaissance receiver is established, and then the low-intercept problem is converted into a constant envelope sequence iterative optimization problem using a quadratic optimization model. To improve autocorrelation performance, an auxiliary scalar is employed to transform the optimization model into a quadratic form and a sequence of low-interception waveforms are generated through an iterative algorithm. Furthermore, the computational complexity of our proposed method is discussed. The simulation results, demonstrate that our sequence exhibits superior low-interception capability compared to commonly used phase-coded signals at the same receive SNR. Additionally, Pareto weights are introduced to control the autocorrelation characteristics of the proposed sequence, thereby enhancing the design flexibility.
