Abstract:The traditional electronic countermeasure systems have issues such as easy detection and location, limited radiation power, etc. To address these problems, an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the power distribution of each node in a distributed array. First, a mathematical model of a semicircular ground-based dispersed array and airborne synthesis is established, along with a constrained nonlinear programming model with the target synthetic point field strength as the objective function. To overcome the slow convergence speed of the standard PSO when handling such problems, a Bernoulli chaotic mapping-based population initialization method is proposed to enhance the diversity of the initial population. To address the poor local search capability and susceptibility to local optima of the standard PSO in the middle and late iterations, an adaptive inertia weight design scheme combining population diversity and the Tanh function is proposed. Additionally, a Cauchy distribution-based perturbation strategy is introduced to improve the algorithm"s convergence accuracy. The simulation results show that the improved PSO algorithm has higher convergence speed and optimization accuracy than standard intelligent optimization algorithms, and the optimized power allocation scheme can effectively enhance the signal synthesis effect.
