Abstract

According to the characteristics of phased array radar signal processing, a novel time pointer-based fast radar pulse interleaving algorithm is proposed. Firstly, a reasonable beam dwell scheduling model is built and scheduling constraints is analyzed. Secondly, based on the time pointer, several pulse interleaving ways are analyzed from the aspect of beam and pulse, an expression of timing constraint is given for three pulse overlapping ways. Finally, the algorithm selects the highest priority radar dwell task under timing and energy constraint. The simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm can control different types of task drop rate in a low zone and obtain higher system utility in dense tracking condition.
