A new optimum method of shared aperture pattern synthesis is proposed based on the new global optimization algorithm, Wind Driven Optimization (WDO), for the shared aperture array antenna. Firstly, the space constraint condition of the array element adjacent to two arrays is designed, and the Peak Side Lobe Level (PSLL) of the two sub-array patterns is used as the objective function.Thenaccording to the constraint formula, the initial coordinates of sub-array 1 and sub-array 2 array elements are developed successively. These two sub-array elements positions are optimized by using the WDO method to reduce PSLL of the pattern synthesis, in order to fulfill the design of shared aperture antenna array working at different frequencies. Finally, a simulation is made and the result shows that: compared with the particle swarm optimization algorithm and the traditional SMI algorithm, this proposed algorithm has better feasibility and effectiveness in the shared aperture pattern synthesis.

    In view of the problems of the loss of detailed information caused by wavelet transform, the non-sparsity of low-frequency subband coefficient decomposed by Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), and the poor comprehensive performance of infrared and visible image fusion, an algorithm for fusion of infrared and visible images is proposed based on sparse representation, NSCT, and Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN). Firstly, the original image is decomposed by NSCT to obtain the low-frequency and high-frequency subbands.Secondly, the K-SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) algorithm is used to carry out dictionary training on the low-frequency subband to realize the sparse representation of low-frequency subband and the fusion of low-frequency sparse coefficients. Then, the spatial frequency of the high-frequency subband is utilized to stimulate PCNN, and the coefficient with more ignition times is selected as the fusion coefficient of the high-frequency subband. Finally, the NSCT inverse transform is applied to the low and high frequency subband fusion coefficients to obtain the fused image.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a great advantage in subjective visual effect and objective index evaluation, and its comprehensive performance is superior to that of the existing algorithm.

    To solve the problem of passive locating of external emitter,a batched processing algorithm is proposed for the parallel execution of multi-target locating and trajectory processing based on Direction of Arrival (DOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA). First,initial locating states of the external emitter are evaluated according to the geometry theory. Then,the trajectories are initialized according to the valid locating value. After that,the Advanced Multiple Hypotheses Tracking (AMHT) algorithm is designed for the data association between measurement trace points and trajectories of targets.The Extended Kalman filter is deduced along with the measurements from DOA and TDOA (DT-EKF),which is used for maintaining the trajectory.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can perform simultaneously locating and trajectory processing for multiple targets,and acquire higher locating performance than that of the traditional methods.

    To effectively evaluate the effects of three kinds of active laser jamming modes of angle deception, high-repetition-frequency deception and high-repetition-frequency suppression, we made a ballistic simulation of the three jamming modes by taking a certain proportional guidance missile with over-gravity compensation as the research object. The main mathematical models were established, including the models of laser energy density, laser atmospheric transmittance, the view angle of seeker with proportion guidance, the seeker energy tracking, the seeker generating the proportional guidance law with over-gravity compensation, and missile control law, which constituted a closed-loop simulation system by using missile kinematic and dynamic equations. Then, the setting position and setting distance of jammer and the jamming laser energy were taken as simulation variables, and the full ballistic simulation of the three kinds of active laser jamming was completed.Simulation results show that: lateral setting of the jammer, the appropriate increasing of the setting distance and the increasing of the jamming energy can increase the miss distance and achieve a good jamming effect. The simulation system can provide a platform for the effect evaluation of electro-optical countermeasure and a reference for the tactical application of weapons.

    Aiming at the existence detection problem of suppression interference, a suppression interference detection algorithm based on Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) domain peak characteristic is proposed for pulse-compression radar. First, from the perspective of complete radar anti-jamming system, the general idea of combining the existence detection of suppression interference with target detection and interference classification is put forward.Secondly, based on the analysis of the difference between the peak characteristics of the FRFT domain LFM signals and the suppression interference signals, the peak order of the echo signal in the FRFT domain is selected as the characteristic parameter. Then, the sequential decision algorithm is used to determine the peak order of the multi-stage echo signal in the FRFT domain, thus to complete the existence detection of suppression interference. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation experiments.

    To improve the precision of maneuvering target tracking under non-Guassian noise condition, a tracking algorithm based on Interactive Multi-Model ultimate iterative Unbiased Finite Impulse Response (IMM-ultimate iterative UFIR) filter is proposed. The algorithm takes the ultimate iterative UFIR, which has lower sensitivity to errors in the noise statistics, as its sub-filter to estimate the state of each model, and the state of maneuvering target is obtained by fusing the states of multiple models.Simulation results show that: under complex noise conditions, IMM-iterative UFIR has a higher precision than that of the Interactive Multiple Model Kalman Filter (IMM-KF), and less calculation cost than that of IMM-PF, which has a good balancing between the tracking precision and calculation amount.

    To the problem of spaceborne multi-spectral image compression,a compression scheme based on sub-band spectral transform is proposed. First,two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform is performed to each band of multi-spectral image sequences for removing the spatial correlation.Subsequently,in order to remove the spectral correlation,each level of the sub-bands resulted from wavelet transform are regarded as a whole,and sub-band spectral KLT is performed on the two bands by using serial pairwise transform. Finally,Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation(EBCOT)algorithm is performed on all principal components to realize optimal rate-distortion compression. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm not only provides better compression performance,but also has lower encoding complexity,which is suitable for the onboard compression of multi-spectral images.

    There is a certain amount of idle time in the Time Triggered Protocol (TTP) bus in practical applications of avionics interconnection.With the energy-saving “green avionics” concept penetrating into all aspects of the avionics system design, a message-scheduling table generation method is presented, in which energy efficiency is proposed as the optimization objective. On the premise of ensuring schedulability, the idle time resource is used to reduce the information symbol rate reasonably. By building a message allocation model of Static Packing (SP), the scheduling slack of the TDMA period of the TTP bus is optimized and allocated to each node to reduce the symbol rate of some of the packs, so as to save energy.A case of the message set is constructed in which messages belong to different nodes and have a variety of periods and length parameters.Case studies show that, compared with the conventional methods not using SP and frequency reduction optimization, this method can not only guarantee the schedulability of messagesbut also effectively reduce the energy consumption in transmission.
