Azimuth-dimensional RCS prediction method based on physical model priors
Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics(2024)
Abstract
The acquisition, analysis, and prediction of the radar cross section (RCS) of a target have extremely important strategic significance in the military. However, the RCS values at all azimuths are hardly accessible for non-cooperative targets, due to the limitations of radar observation azimuth and detection resources. Despite their efforts to predict the azimuth-dimensional RCS value, traditional methods based on statistical theory fails to achieve the desired results because of the azimuth sensitivity of the target RCS. To address this problem, an improved neural basis expansion analysis for interpretable time series forecasting (N-BEATS) network considering the physical model prior is proposed to predict the azimuth-dimensional RCS value accurately. Concretely, physical model-based constraints are imposed on the network by constructing a scattering-center module based on the target scattering-center model. Besides, a superimposed seasonality module is involved to better capture high-frequency information, and augmenting the training set provides complementary information for learning predictions. Extensive simulations and experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
