Guided wave type radar level meter echo signal processing method based on first-order derivative with combination of reference curve

Abstract

The invention relates to a guided wave type radar level meter echo signal processing method based on a first-order derivative with the combination of a reference curve. The method includes the steps that firstly, the reference curve is constructed; secondly, echo signals are preprocessed; thirdly, level echo judgment is conducted; fourthly, propagation time is calculated; fifthly, a level value is calculated. Signals which comprise step parts which are not superposed with the level echo need to be stored in advance and serve as the reference curve for the subsequent level echo judgment; 9-point moving and average filtering preprocessing is conducted on the echo signals; first-order derivative calculation is conducted on the filtered echo signals, the echo is detected, multiple parameters are combined with the reference curve to judge the level echo, a level echo positioning point and a reference starting point are determined, and propagating time is calculated; three points are selected in a defined zone at will to be calibrated, and a level-propagating time model is determined; finally, the propagating time is substituted into a function relation between the level and the propagating time, and the level value is obtained.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention is the field of objects detection technology, and it involves a method of processing guidance -type radar objects based on the first -order guide and reference curve -based curve. Background technique [0002] Guide wave radar places use the echo ranging principle in radar technology to measure the level, which is widely used in the industrial field.The difficulty of conducting the return signal processing of the wave -type radar is the judgment of the real object and the determination of the echo positioning point.Among them, the echo of the property determines whether the measurement is accurate, and the echo positioning point affects the accuracy of measurement. [0003] Aiming at the key issues of the signal processing of the guide wave-type radar, several famous foreign manufacturers, for example, E+H, Emerson Rosemount, and Siemens-Milltronics have proposed different echo signal processing methods, respectively.Rosemont ("Method ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The problem in this patent is: Butterworth low-pass filtering is a frequency-domain filtering method, which is not effective when applied to the echo signal processing of guided-wave radar level gauges with inconspicuous frequency-domain characteristics; the construction of the reference curve requires first To construct empty tank conditions, when applied to actual production, the material needs to be emptied and updated, otherwise the newly generated interference echo cannot be ruled out; the subtraction of the echo signal from the reference curve may cause the nonlinear movement of th
