Multiple Target Localization with Bistatic Radar Using Heuristic Computational Intelligence Techniques

Abstract

on its receiver. Let the transmitter of this Bistatic radar send coherent signals using a subarray that gives a fairly wide beam with a large solid angle so as to cover up any potential relevant target in the near field. We developed Heuristic Computational Intelligence (HCI) based techniques to jointly estimate the range, amplitude, and elevation and azimuth angles of these multiple targets impinging on the CSCA. In this connection, first the global search optimizers, that is,are developed separately Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) are developed separately, and, to enhance the performances further, both of them are hybridized with a local search optimizer called Active Set Algorithm (ASA). Initially, the performance of PSO, DE, PSO hybridized with ASA, and DE hybridized with ASA are compared with each other and then with some traditional techniques available in literature using root mean square error (RMSE) as figure of merit.

Integrated computational intelligent paradigm for nonlinear electric circuit models using neural networks, genetic algorithms and sequential quadratic programming

“…At next step variation operators are applied. The algorithm is expertly used for convex/non-convex and constrained/unconstrained optimization problems having application in engineering and technology [51][52][53][54]. Few recently reported significance application includes are joint angle-amplitude estimation in direction of arrival of the plane waves [55], effective solution of traveling salesman problem [56], layer thickness optimization in multilayer piezoelectric transducer based systems [57], prediction of Thai stock price index trend [58] and nonlinear fuzzy systems [59] etc.…”

Computational-Intelligence-Based Spectrum-Sharing Scheme for NOMA-Based Cognitive Radio Networks

“…The CI-based methods are regarded as "intelligent" methods that offer better results than conventional methods such as regression methods [11]. During the last two decades, various CI techniques have been extensively applied to diverse optimization problems ranging from industrial applications to complex scientific research problems [12].…”
