Opportunistic array radar (OAR) is a new generation radar system based on the stealth of the platform, which can improve the modern radar performance effectively. Designing the orthogonal code sets with low autocorrelation and cross-correlation is a key issue for OAR. This paper proposes a novel hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) and designs the polyphase orthogonal code sets with low autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties, which can be used in the OAR system. The novel algorithm combines with simulated annealing (SA) and genetic algorithm (GA), adds in keeping best individuals and competition in small scope, and introduces grey correlation evaluation to evaluate fitness function. These avoid the premature convergence problem existed in GA and enhance the global searching capability. At last, the genetic results are optimized to obtain the best solution by using greedy algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective for the design of orthogonal phase signals used in OAR systems.
In this paper, a joint adaptive sampling interval and power allocation (JASIPA) scheme based on chance-constraint programming (CCP) is proposed for maneuvering target tracking (MTT) in a multiple opportunistic array radar (OAR) system. In order to conveniently predict the maneuvering target state of the next sampling instant, the best-fitting Gaussian (BFG) approximation is introduced and used to replace the multimodal prior target probability density function (PDF) at each time step. Since the mean and covariance of the BFG approximation can be computed by a recursive formula, we can utilize an existing Riccati-like recursion to accomplish effective resource allocation. The prior Cramér-Rao lower boundary (prior CRLB-like) is compared with the upper boundary of the desired tracking error range to determine the adaptive sampling interval, and the Bayesian CRLB-like (BCRLB-like) gives a criterion used for measuring power allocation. In addition, considering the randomness of target radar cross section (RCS), we adopt the CCP to package the deterministic resource management model, which minimizes the total transmitted power by effective resource allocation. Lastly, the stochastic simulation is embedded into a genetic algorithm (GA) to produce a hybrid intelligent optimization algorithm (HIOA) to solve the CCP optimization problem. Simulation results show that the global performance of the radar system can be improved effectively by the resource allocation scheme.
