基于稀疏阵列的宽零陷低旁瓣宽带自适应波束形成

    Wideband Adaptive Beamforming with Wide Nulling and Low Sidelobes Based on Sparse Array

    • 摘要: 针对快速移动干扰带来的阵列权值矢量与实际接收数据失配,导致传统宽带波束形成方法性能恶化的问题,提出一种基于稀疏阵列的低旁瓣零陷展宽算法。首先,通过聚焦矩阵重构频域协方差矩阵,然后以最大输出信干噪比(SINR)为目标,增加阵列权值矢量稀疏度的约束,初步构建稀疏阵列设计优化模型,并在此基础上施加旁瓣约束和引入对于虚拟干扰导向矢量的导数约束,最终通过交替凸优化的方式进行迭代求解,得到稀疏阵列排布和相应的阵元权值。仿真结果表明,该方法能够以较少的阵元数实现零陷展宽和加深,有效抑制快速移动的强干扰;同时,该方法克服了传统方法波束图旁瓣较高的问题,还可以有效解决宽带信号波束图频率偏移带来的性能下降问题,提高了波束形成稳健性。

       

      Abstract: To address the performance degradation of traditional wideband beamforming methods caused by the mismatch between array weight vectors and actual received data under fast-moving interference, this paper proposes a sparse array-based low-sidelobe null broadening algorithm. First, the frequency-domain covariance matrix is reconstructed via a focusing matrix. Subsequently, with the objective of maximizing the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), a sparsity constraint on the array weight vector is introduced to preliminarily construct an optimization model for sparse array design. Further, sidelobe constraints and derivative constraints on virtual interference steering vectors are imposed. The sparse array configuration and corresponding element weights are iteratively solved through alternating convex optimization. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves both null broadening and deepening with fewer array elements, effectively suppressing fast-moving strong interference. Additionally, it overcomes the high sidelobe issue inherent in traditional methods and mitigates performance degradation caused by frequency-dependent beam pattern distortion in wideband signals, thereby significantly enhancing beamforming robustness.
