Radar-Communication Integrated Conformal Array Antenna Sharing Design

A method of aperture allocation for cylindrical array antennas for the integration of radar communication is proposed. Firstly, analyze the pattern of the cylindrical array and establish a shared aperture model on this basis; secondly, select the highest sidelobe level of the radar array and the communication channel capacity as the optimization target and transform the allocation of array element positions into multiple Target optimization problem; Finally, the improved genetic algorithm is used for optimization calculation, and related simulation experiments are completed. The simulation results prove that the maximum sidelobe level of the radar and the communication channel capacity can simultaneously meet the requirements of the working index and the antenna aperture is shared.
