A Robust Interference Suppression Method Based on FDA-MIMO Radar

Abstract

In the issue of interference suppression, the performance of traditional adaptive methods will decrease when mainlobe interference and sidelobe interference have angle error. To this end, a robust adaptive beamforming technique based on frequency diversity array (FDA) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is proposed in this work. Firstly, preprocessing in data domain is adopted for mainlobe interference cancellation. Then, the sidelobe interference is suppressed in the receiving dimension. Finally, robust adaptive beamforming method is applied to suppress sidelobe interference. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
