Research on Phased Array Radar Resource Management in Searching Mode

Abstract

Multifunction phased array radar, with rational management of time resource and energy resource, can search and track multiple targets simultaneously. A resource management optimization model for phased array radar in searching mode has been proposed, whose objection is to minimize the total resource consumption under the guarantee of searching performance with controllable parameters: search frame period, dwell time and signal duty circle. Both radial cumulative detection probability and tangential cumulative detection probability are considered in the searching performance. The consideration of tangential cumulative detection probability as one of the constraints is the main contribution here. The solution to this model by applying genetic algorithm suggests that this model is more suitable in actual scene.
