A Remaining Useful Life Prediction Method for T/R Module Based on Index Similarity

T/R module is an important part of large phased array radar antenna array, the remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is of great significance for equipment support personnel to master current health status and improve maintenance support ability. At first, the key indexes of multistate degradation are extracted by association rule, by calculating the similarity of the key indexes and combining the RUL of similar samples, the RUL information corresponding to the key indexes is obtained. The RUL prediction results of T/R module are obtained according to the weight of different indexes. The practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by example analysis and comparison, which provide theoretical guidance for the RUL prediction of electronic equipment. The proposed method is of great significance for maintenance support personnel of the military equipment to plan the maintenance resources reasonably and improve the combat effectiveness of the equipment.
