与基于全阵列的自适应波束形成算法相比,旁瓣对消(multiple side lobe canceller,MSLC)技术具有计算量小、性能稳健的优点。一般旁瓣对消系统要求在进行权值调整时,主瓣方向无信号入射,否则系统方向图将发生畸变。提出了基于子阵列数据...与基于全阵列的自适应波束形成算法相比,旁瓣对消(multiple side lobe canceller,MSLC)技术具有计算量小、性能稳健的优点。一般旁瓣对消系统要求在进行权值调整时,主瓣方向无信号入射,否则系统方向图将发生畸变。提出了基于子阵列数据差分的旁瓣对消系统设计思路,即利用线性阵列性质来改变主辅天线信号相关性,消除主瓣入射信号影响。在此基础上,针对干扰情况的不同,提出了更实用的多级差分旁瓣对消和反馈差分旁瓣对消技术。仿真结果表明,所提算法在不同信号环境下,均能有效抑制旁瓣干扰,同时保持主瓣方向图不发生畸变,具有很好的稳健性。展开更多
