Adaptive Dwell Scheduling for Digital Array Radar Based on Online Pulse Interleaving

Digital array radar (DAR) is a kind of phased arrayradar where digital beam-forming technique is used both in receivingand transmitting. An adaptive dwell scheduling algorithm for DAR isproposed based on an online pulse interleaving technique. Furthermore,the scheduling performances of the proposed algorithm with differentsynthetic priority calculation methods are also compared. Simulationresults demonstrate that, compared with conventional schedulingalgorithm the scheduling performance of DAR can be improved effectivelywhen dwells are scheduled with the proposed algorithm, and the Highestpriority earliest deadline first (HPEDF) synthetic priority calculationmethod is suggested in the proposed algorithm.
