Abstract:

Frequency diverse array (FDA) has received much attention, but little work about FDA receiver architectures and receiver processing algorithms have been reported. In this paper, we analyze the localization performance of FDA radar with a two-stage estimator. Three FDA receive architectures are discussed and compared with the phased-array (PA). In order to overcome disadvantages of the monochromatic FDA radar signal model adopted in the literature that ignores the coherent transmit gain in FDA radar, we formulate a bandwidth model for a general FDA radar received signals including both nonoverlapping and overlapping spectra. The localization performance are assessed by the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) and receive signal noise ratio. The proposed model provides more accurate representation of FDA radar received signals and more reasonable comparisons between FDA and PA radars. Additionally, a fast two-stage estimator is proposed to reduce the two-dimensional multiple signal classification computation complexity. All proposed methods are verified by both theoretical analysis and numerical results.
