Abstract

Considering the problems of dwell scheduling in multifunction phased array radar systems, an adaptive dwell scheduling algorithm is proposed for dense tracking. Based on a maximal pulse interleaving technique, the whole scheduling process of the adaptive dwell fully exploits the spare-times between the pulse transmitting and receiving to allocate new tracking tasks. In this way, the capacity of the system could be highly improved. The pulse interleaving technique in algorithm is achieved through the introduction of an interleaving degree variable, which records the interleaving state of all the tasks. The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through experiments in a real radar simulation system and the results demonstrate the proposed approach significantly improves the overall capacity of a multifunction phased array radar system.
