Abstract

A method to improve the tracking accuracy of low-altitude sea targets is proposed using an adaptive beamforming algorithm in a multipath environment. It is confirmed that the target elevation can be estimated with relatively high accuracy without repetitive calculation using the proposed method in analog beamforming active electronically scanned array radar. The proposed method improves the tracking accuracy by adding a side-lobe suppression condition to the existing adaptive beamforming constraint for monopulse inclination control while accounting for the characteristics of the low-altitude sea target with less elevation change. In addition, various adaptive beamforming algorithms were applied to the proposed method, and the results were compared and analyzed to optimize tracking accuracy.
