Abstract
Taking into account the probabilistic uncertainty on the target radar cross section (RCS) parameter, a robust chance constrained power allocation (RCC-PA) scheme is presented for multiple target localization in colocated multiple-input multiple-output radar system. Such a system adopts a multibeam working mode, in which multiple simultaneous transmit beams are synthesized to illuminate multiple targets independently. We formulate the RCC-PA problem into a chance constrained programming model, where the total power consumption of the multiple beams is minimized to meet a specified multitarget localization accuracy requirement with high probability. Various target RCS fluctuation models have been discussed with different forms of probability distributions. We analytically show that the chance constrained programming problem for each RCS fluctuation model can equivalently be formulated as a deterministic convex optimization problem. Then, by formulating the Karush-Kuhn-Tuckers conditions, we transform the convex optimization problem into a nonlinear equation solving problem, and then solve it by using the bisection method. Simulation results show that our RCC-PA scheme can enhance the power utilization efficiency, and is more robust than the existing deterministic PA schemes.
