Problems solved by technology

Due to the limitation of transmission power, it is impossible to obtain large time width and bandwidth at the same time. When measuring water level with large range and large water level variability, since the reflected signal becomes very weak, the phase information will be submerged in

Embodiment 1

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, the hardware design of the present invention's continuous frequency modulation radar water level gauge measurement is as follows:

[0038] It mainly includes a main control module, a radar modulation wave transmitting module, a two-way radar signal receiving module and its automatic gain control module, and a planar microstrip antenna.

[0045] The principle of radar positioning is as figure 2 As shown, the dark line of the F coordinate indicates the triangular wave transmitting signal, and the light color line indicates the intermediate frequency receiving signal after the receiver detects; F b The coordinates represent the sending and receiving difference frequency signal. It can be seen that due to the existence of radio frequency propagation delay, there is a frequency difference F between the sending and receiving frequencies. b , this frequency value changes proportionally to the target distance;

[0046] if use f bup expressed in figure 2 The frequency difference between sending and receiving radar signals in the rising section of the medium triangular wave sweep (referred to as the upper sweep frequency difference), f bdown express figure 2 The frequency difference between the transmitting and receiving radio frequency in the descending section of the triangular wave sweep (abbreviated as the fr...

Abstract

The invention discloses a measurement method of a continuous frequency-modulated wave-system radar water level gauge. Measurement of a water level under conditions of a large measuring range and high variability is realized by combining a Chirp-Z+FFT method with an automatic gain control method, and the continuous frequency-modulated wave-system radar water level gauge measurement method has the characteristics of high precision, high stability, low power consumption, high interference resistance, high repetitiveness and the like. The continuous frequency-modulated wave-system radar water level gauge can be independently used as a sensor for high-precision water level measurement, and also combined with an acquisition terminal to form an intelligent integrated monitoring device, so as to realize water level prewarning and unattended automatic water level monitoring.

Description

[0001] Technical field: [0002] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid level observation, and relates to a method for measuring a radar water level gauge with a continuous frequency modulation wave system. [0003] Background technique: [0004] At present, domestic radar water level gauges for large range and large variable rate water level measurement mainly rely on imports, mainly German brands, and are expensive. Domestic radar water level gauges are mostly refitted from industrial level gauges. The main method used is the pulse radar system, which uses the time difference method to achieve water level measurement. According to modern radar theory, the resolution of radar ranging is proportional to the bandwidth or time width of the transmitted signal. Due to the limitation of transmission power, it is impossible to obtain large time width and bandwidth at the same time. When measuring water level with large range and large water level variability, because...
