Abstract
An adaptive beamforming method based on the polarimetric scattering matrix (PSM) of targets to suppress deceptive jamming located in the beam pattern main lobe is proposed in this study. For the netted radar system, the true/false mixed targets of different/same range ambiguity region are distinguished by the range-PSM dimension; the flexible allocation of antenna resource is realised by the number of estimated targets; the main-lobe deceptive jamming is also suppressed by the adaptive beamforming method. First, a polarimetric multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with a frequency diverse array (FDA) was considered as the initial antenna configuration. Subsequently, the performance of the transmit–receive spatial frequency was analysed, and the characteristics of false targets in the polarimetric FDA-MIMO radar were discussed. We then considered the optimisation problem between the transmit polarisation and the frequency increment, as well as the allocation of antenna resources. Finally, an adaptive beamforming method was utilised to achieve deceptive jamming suppression in the main lobe. The effectiveness of PSM was verified with respect to identifying true/false targets, and the jamming suppression performance was evaluated in the main lobe by comparing it with existing systems via simulation results.
