摘要: 雷达波形优化作为雷达领域中最重要的课题之一，受到广泛关注。雷达探测波形不仅要有恒定的幅度，还要有低的自相关副瓣。由于恒模约束是非凸的，所以针对低自相关旁瓣恒模波形优化问题复杂度很高。已有算法通常将包含波形幅度和相位信息的多维向量空间作为优化问题的可行解集合，计算过程需要恒模约束条件参与，导致寻优难度和计算量较大。该文提出了一种相位域低积分旁瓣恒模雷达波形优化方法，将对恒模波形寻优的可行解空间压缩至波形相位域的向量集合，对恒模波形向量中各元素相位与其他元素之间的关系进行深入分析并进行解析表示，进而基于坐标下降法的迭代优化思想对波形向量各元素依次更新。通过压缩可行集规模和采用闭式解更新变量的方法，获得了自相关积分旁瓣性能更优的波形序列，并有效降低了计算复杂度，提升了优化效率。最后该文通过数值仿真的方法验证所提方法的有效性。Abstract: Radar waveform optimization has recently drawn much attention. The radar waveform possesses not only constant amplitude but also a low autocorrelation sidelobe level. However, because of the presence of the constant modular constraint, the problem of optimizing the waveform is non-convex, which is difficult to address. The feasible domain used by the current methods usually contains the vector space with two dimensions: amplitude and phase. The optimization procedures accompanied by the constant constraint enlarge the difficulty and amount of calculation. Herein, the problem of designing unimodular sequences with low autocorrelation sidelobes is addressed, and a novel approach based on phase optimization is presented. The feasible domain is compressed into the vector space with only the phase dimension. The proposed method conducts a deep analysis of the relationship between the phases of the elements in the unimodular sequence and successively updates the vector with a closed-form solution in an element-by-element manner at each iteration using the coordinate descent method, which comprises low computational complexity. By compressing the feasible domain and updating the vector variable using the closed solution, the integrated sidelobe level and computation efficiency are improved. Representative numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

算法1：PCDM优化最优波形s 输入：$ {\boldsymbol{\varXi }} $, $ {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_0} $和$\varepsilon $，其中${\boldsymbol{\varXi } } = { {\boldsymbol{P} }^{\rm{H}}}{\boldsymbol{P} }$, $ {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_0} $为优化变量初始值，
$\varepsilon $为收敛常数；输出：优化问题(17)的最优波形序列${{\boldsymbol{s}}^\dagger }$; 步骤1：迭代计数变量t=0时，$ {\boldsymbol{\kappa }} = {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_0} $，${f_0} = {\boldsymbol{\kappa } }_0^{\rm{H}}{\boldsymbol{\varXi } }{ {\boldsymbol{\kappa } }_0}$； 步骤2：以${{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_t}$为$ {\boldsymbol{\kappa }} $初始值，计算$ {\mu _i} $(i=0,1,···, 2N–1)，循环更新
${{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_t}$各维度分量；步骤3：${f_t} = {\boldsymbol{\kappa } }_t^{\rm{H}}{\boldsymbol{\varXi } }{ {\boldsymbol{\kappa } }_t}$。 步骤4：波形序列${{\boldsymbol{s}}_t} = {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_t}(0:N - 1)$； 步骤5：如果$\left| {{f_t} - {f_{t - 1}}} \right| \le \varepsilon $, ${f_{t - 1}}$为前一次迭代的目标函数
值，$ {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}^\dagger } = {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_t} $，最优波形${{\boldsymbol{s}}^\dagger } = {{\boldsymbol{s}}_t}$，结束；
否则，${{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_{t + 1}} = {{\boldsymbol{\kappa }}_t}$, $t = t + 1$，重复步骤2。
