Particle flters for probability hypothesis density flter with the presence of unknown measurement noise covariance

In Bayesian multi-target fltering,knowledge of measurement noise variance is very important.Signifcant mismatches in noise parameters will result in biased estimates.In this paper,a new particle flter for a probability hypothesis density（PHD）flter handling unknown measurement noise variances is proposed.The approach is based on marginalizing the unknown parameters out of the posterior distribution by using variational Bayesian（VB）methods.Moreover,the sequential Monte Carlo method is used to approximate the posterior intensity considering non-linear and non-Gaussian conditions.Unlike other particle flters for this challenging class of PHD flters,the proposed method can adaptively learn the unknown and time-varying noise variances while fltering.Simulation results show that the proposed method improves estimation accuracy in terms of both the number of targets and their states.     

一种数字式动目标跟踪技术

介绍一种在某型号雷达中成功应用的全数字式动目标跟踪系统。和差三路Ｉ和Ｑ正交信号经模数（Ａ／Ｄ）转换后在数字信号处理器中进行动目标显示（ＭＴＩ）滤波、距离跟踪，同时提取角误差信号作为天线角伺服系统的输入，以实现对目标的角度跟踪。该跟踪系统可以有效地抑制对中低空目标回波影响较大的地杂波及海杂波等干扰信号，从而极大地改善了跟踪雷达的中低空性能。     

基于目标威胁度计算的相控阵快速确认跟踪模式

机载相控阵雷达在探测远程、低空、高速目标时具有较大潜力。本文对机扫加相扫雷达环境下,如何充分发挥相控阵优势,提高机载雷达跟踪远程低空高速目标性能展开研究,在传统边扫边跟(Track while scan,TWS)技术基础上,给出了一种基于目标威胁度的快速确认跟踪模式。该模式采用有效的相控扫描策略,充分利用其波束捷变能力,通过相控回扫,一方面快速起始航迹,增加高威胁目标的跟踪距离;另一方面适当增加探测数据率,提高对远距高威胁目标的跟踪性能。仿真试验表明,新跟踪方法不但可以较好克服目标雷达散射截面积(Radarcross section,RCS)起伏影响,较快地起始和跟踪目标航迹,而且保留了TWS方法覆盖空域广的优点。     

DESIGN OF DISTURBANCE DECOUPLED FILTER AND ITSAPPLICATION TO MANEUVERING TARGETS TRACKING

A dnovel isturbance decoupled filter (DDF) design scheme is presented. Firstly, the system with unknown input is translated into an equivalent system without unknown imputs by a simple algebraic transformation. Then, a new DDF design scheme, which is very simple, is proposed via innovations theorem. At last, the application of DDF to Maneuvering Targets Tracking is simulated and the simulation results show that DDF is suitable for high maneuvering cases.
