This article investigates the interference behavior in an aerial radar network for sensing ground targets. Using stochastic geometry analysis, the distribution and Laplace transform of radar interference are derived. By analyzing the successful ranging probability, the optimization of radar network parameters and the spectrum utilization strategy for UAV radar networks with guard zones are discussed.
Due to the increasing number of aerial radars and joint communication/sensing technologies, interference from uncoordinated radars will limit the target detection and ranging performance in the future. In this article, we investigate the interference behavior in an aerial radar network for sensing ground targets. We consider that the radars mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that fly at a certain altitude are randomly distributed according to a two-dimensional homogeneous Poisson point process (HPPP), and that the propagation is modeled using a probabilistic line-of-sight channel model. For such a sensing network, we derive the distribution of the radar interference using a stochastic geometry based analysis. In particular, when Swerling I model is considered for radar cross-section area for the target, we derive the Laplace transform of the radar interference. To avoid a strong interference between neighboring radars, a guard zone is introduced within which the UAV radar transmission around the permitted active radar is inhibited. As the radar performance metric, we derive the successful ranging probability (SRP) of a given radar by exploiting the Laplace transform of radar interference. Using the analytic SRP, we show that we can optimize the radar network parameters such as the radius of the guard zone and the density of the active radars. In addition, we also discuss how the analytic SRP gives an insight into the spectrum utilization strategy for the UAV radar networks with the guard zones.
