A Robust Beamforming Suppressing Deceptive Jamming Method Based On FDA-MIMO Radar

In comparison to phased array (PA) radar that just transmits a beampattern with angle-dependent, frequency diverse array (FDA) radar with adding a feature of distance dimension performs well in main-beam deceptive jamming suppression domain. However, in practical conditions, estimating an inaccuracy of the covariance matrix(CM) has a significant negative impact on algorithm performance, also as a mismatch of target SV has. Hence, a robust adaptive beamforming technique comes up in this article that selects the principal eigenvector to get accurate signal steering vectors (SV), further gets the reconstruction interference-plus-noise CM (IPNCM). According to experiments, the proposed algorithm keeps a robust and good performance under non-ideal circumstances.
