Radar Pulse Interleaving for Multi-target Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a multifunction radar, the maximum number of targets which can be managed or tracked is an important performance measure. Interleaving algorithms developed to operate radars exploit the dead-times between the transmitted and the received pulses to allocate new tracking tasks that might involve transmitting or receiving pulses, thus increasing the capacity of the system. The problem of interleaving N targets involves a search among N ! possibilities, and sub-optimal solutions are usually employed to satisfy the real-time constraints of the radar system. In this paper, we present new tight 0-1 integer programming models for the radar pulse interleaving problem, and develop effective solution methods based on Lagrangian relaxation techniques.

Complexity Analysis of Heuristic Pulse Interleaving Algorithms for Multi-Target Tracking with Multiple Simultaneous Receive Beams
This paper presents heuristic pulse interleaving algorithms for multi-target tracking on pulse Doppler phased array radars that can process multiple simultaneous received beams. The pulse interleaving problems for element and subarray level digital beamforming architectures are formulated as the same integer program and the asymptotic time complexities of the algorithms are analyzed.

Multiple target tracking (MTT) is taken into account as one of the most important topics in tracking targets with radars. In this paper, the MTT problem is used for estimating the position of multiple targets when a 2-D radar is employed to gather measurements. To do so, the Joint Probabilistic Data Association Filter (JPDAF) approach is applied to tracking the position of multiple targets. To ...
متن کاملMicromotion feature extraction of radar target using tracking pulses with adaptive pulse repetition frequency adjustment
In multifunction phased array radar systems, different activities (e.g., tracking, searching, imaging, feature extraction, recognition, etc.) would need to be performed simultaneously. To relieve the conflict of the radar resource distribution, a micromotion feature extraction method using tracking pulses with adaptive pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) is proposed in this paper. In this metho...

متن کاملRadar Dwell Scheduling Considering Physical Characteristics of Phased Array Antenna
This paper proposes novel techniques for scheduling radar dwells in phased array radar systems. In order to handle complex physical characteristics such as dwell interleaving, transmitting duty cycle constraint, and energy constraint, we propose a notion of schedulability envelope. The schedulability envelope designed offline hides the details of complex radar dwell scheduling and provides a si...
