Abstract

Abstract:

Compared with the traditional phased array radar, the co-located multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is able to transmit orthogonal waveforms to form different illuminating modes, providing a larger freedom degree in radar resource mana-gement. In order to implement the effective resource mana-gement for the co-located MIMO radar in multi-target tracking, this paper proposes a resource management optimization model, where the system resource consumption and the tracking accuracy requirements are considered comprehensively. An adaptive resource management algorithm for the co-located MIMO radar is obtained based on the proposed model, where the sub-array number, sampling period, transmitting energy, beam direction and working mode are adaptively controlled to realize the time-space resource joint allocation. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the co-located MIMO radar using the proposed algorithm can satisfy the predetermined tracking accuracy requirements with less comprehensive cost compared with the phased array radar.

Key words: co-located multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, adaptive resource management, multi-target tracking, sub-array division, time-space joint allocation
