Abstract

This paper introduces a resource management approach for distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems equipped with phased array antennas. The approach focuses and adjusts narrow beams from all transmit and receive nodes to generate a regularly shaped observation area for reliable detection. Based on this, a structured early warning framework can be built by evenly arranging sufficient observation areas to cover the surveillance region and periodically scanning these areas for continuous monitoring. Observation area generation, a core technique for this framework, involves the joint optimization of beamforming weights for both transmit and receive nodes, as well as the beam dwell time. Our optimization strategy is designed to achieve two key objectives: minimizing beam dwell time to ensure rapid alerts for defense systems, and minimizing node transmit power to extend operational time while reducing the risk of intercept. To address the problem of observation area generation, we propose a two-stage method. The first stage uses the signal-to-clutter-plus-noise ratio (SCNR) as a new criterion to determine the transmit and receive beamforming weights. The second stage employs a power factor as an additional variable to scale the transmit beamforming weights under various beam dwell times, constructing a Pareto solution set for the problem. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of our method, demonstrating improved detection capabilities compared to monostatic phased array radar systems.
