Abstract

This paper develops a joint radar selection and resource allocation (JRSRA) scheme for multi-target tracking application in multiple distributed phased array radar networks with non-ideal detection performance. The main aim of the JRSRA algorithm is to coordinate the radar node selection, transmit power and signal bandwidth allocation of the multiple radar networks, in order to minimize the total transmit power consumption in non-ideal detection environment under the constraints of the predefined target tracking performance requirement and several illumination resource budgets. The Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bound (BCRLB) with non-ideal detection performance is adopted as the performance metric for multiple targets tracking. Since the adaptable variables, i.e., radar selection, transmit power, and signal bandwidth of each node, are coupled in both constraints and objective functions, the resulting problem is a mixed-integer programming, non-linear, and non-convex optimization model. To tackle the underlying problem, a fast and efficient four-step solution algorithm is proposed. Numerical simulations verify the superiority of the presented JRSRA scheme compared with other existing approaches.
