Abstract

Radar receivers are vital components in modern radar systems, and their reliable operation is crucial for accurate target detection and tracking. However, degrading receiver components can lead to reduced gain, increased noise levels, and decreased probability of detection affecting the overall radar performance. We present an efficient real-time prognostic framework for a radar receiver. The effect of the performance degradation of critical devices on the radar receiver is analyzed. A prognostic framework is developed based on the relationship between device health and receiver performance. Subsequently, an improved prognostic model based on the integration of Weibull distribution and long short-term memory network is developed and trained to accurately estimate the remaining useful life (RUL) of the receiver. Integrating survival analysis and deep learning techniques offers a robust solution for accurate RUL estimation, which can significantly enhance maintenance strategies. The proposed framework facilitates transitioning from traditional reactive maintenance practices to a predictive maintenance approach, thereby reducing downtime and improving the overall availability of radar receivers.
