The electromagnetic environment is increasingly complex and changeable, and radar needs to meet the execution requirements of various tasks. Modern radars should improve their intelligence level and have the ability to learn independently in dynamic countermeasures. It can make the radar countermeasure strategy change from the traditional fixed anti-interference strategy to dynamically and independently implementing an efficient anti-interference strategy. Aiming at the performance optimization of target tracking in the scene where multiple signals coexist, we propose a countermeasure method of cognitive radar based on a deep Q-learning network. In this paper, we analyze the tracking performance of this method and the Markov Decision Process under the triangular frequency sweeping interference, respectively. The simulation results show that reinforcement learning has substantial autonomy and adaptability for solving such problems.

The cardinality balanced multi-target multi-Bernoulli (CBMeMBer) filter has emerged as a promising tool for tracking a time-varying number of targets. However, the standard CBMeMBer filter may perform poorly when measurements are coupled with sensor biases. This paper extends the CBMeMBer filter for simultaneous target tracking and sensor biases estimation by introducing the sensor translational biases into the multi-Bernoulli distribution. In the extended CBMeMBer filter, the biases are modeled as the first order Gauss-Markov process and assumed to be uncorrelated with target states. Furthermore, the sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method is adopted to handle the non-linearity and the non-Gaussian conditions. Simulations are carried out to examine the performance of the proposed filter.

This paper aims to design multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar receiving weights and transmitting waveforms, in order to obtain better spatial filtering performance and enhance the robustness in the case of signal-dependent interference and jointly inaccurate estimated angles of target and interference. Generally, an alternate iterative optimization algorithm is proposed for the joint design problem. Specifically, the receiving weights are designed by the generalized eigenvalue decomposition of the matrix which contains the estimated information of the target and interference. As the cost function of the transmitting waveform design is fractional, the fractional optimization problem is first converted into a secondary optimization problem. Based on the proposed algorithm, a closed-form solution of the waveform is given using the alternating projection. At the analysis stage, in the presence of estimated errors under the environment of signal-dependent interference, a robust signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) performance is obtained using a small amount of calculation with an iterative procedure. Numerical examples verify the effectiveness of the performances of the designed waveform in terms of the SINR, beampattern and pulse compression.

In this paper, the problem of target detection and tracking utilizing the single frequency network (SFN) is addressed. Specifically, by exploiting the characteristics of the signal in SFN, a novel likelihood model which avoids the measurement origin uncertain problem in the point measurement model is proposed. The particle filter based track-before-detect (PF-TBD) algorithm is adopted for the proposed SFN likelihood to detect and track the possibly existed target. The advantage of using TBD algorithm is that it is suitable for the condition of low SNR, and specially, in SFN, it can avoid the data association between the measurement and the transmitters. The performance of the adopted algorithm is examined via simulations.

Estimating the spatial parameters of the signals by using the effective data of a single snapshot is essential in the field of reconnaissance and confrontation. Major drawback of existing algorithms is that its constructed covariance matrix has a great degree of rank loss. The performance of existing algorithms gets degraded with low signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper, a three-parallel linear array based algorithm is proposed to achieve two-dimensional direction of arrival estimates in a single snapshot scenario. The key points of the proposed algorithm are: 1) construct three pseudo matrices with full rank and no rank loss by using the single snapshot data from the received signal model; 2) by using the rotation relation between pseudo matrices, the matched 2D-DOA is obtained with an efficient parameter matching method. Main objective of this work is on improving the angle estimation accuracy and reducing the loss of degree of freedom in single snapshot 2D-DOA estimation.
