Abstract

This letter proposes an optimal subarray design strategy for frequency diverse array (FDA) radar target localization via Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) minimization. To decouple the range and angle response of targets, we divide the FDA transmit array elements into multiple subarrays. For a given number of array elements and subarrays, the optimal array division and frequency increments design strategies are formulated as a constrained CRLB minimization problem. Then it is converted into an unconstrained optimization problem and further resolved by iteratively utilizing the Nelder–Mead algorithm. Numerical results show that, under the same condition, FDA radar localization performance is significantly improved by employing the CRLB minimization strategy.
