Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of multi-target tracking by collocated multiple input multiple output radar, a power and bandwidth joint allocation method based on posterior Cramer-Rao lower bound (PCRLB) is proposed. This method firstly forecasts PCRLB of each target position error, and the sum of PCRLB is taken as the cost function to establish an optimization model, so as to transform the resource allocation problem into a non-convex optimization problem. Then the non-convex optimization problem is solved by using the convex relaxation technique and the cyclic minimization algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation. The results show that compared with the other three allocation algorithms, the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the target tracking accuracy in various scenarios.

Key words: collocated multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar, resource allocation, posterior Cramer-Rao lower bound (PCRLB), non-convex optimization, multi-target tracking
