Simulation analysis demonstrates enhanced communication signal quality using active intelligent surfaces in aerial radar-communication systems, highlighting advantages over passive reflectors.
This paper investigates unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and an active reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted millimeter-wave (mmWave) dual-function radar-communication (DFRC) system. The DFRC base station (BS) employs a hybrid analog-digital (HAD) architecture. Under the constraints of the active RIS and BS power budgets, the unit-modulus analog precoder, and the desired radar beamforming pattern, we jointly optimize the BS hybrid beamforming (HBF) and active RIS beamforming to maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of user. Considering the non-convex SINR objective function and unit-modulus constraints, we propose a weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) method based on the penalty dual decomposition (PDD) framework and alternating optimization (AO). For the active RIS beamforming design, we introduce the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) method and a majorization-minimization (MM) method. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the potential of active RIS in DFRC systems compared to the passive RIS.
