Problems solved by technology

However, traditional radar systems are usually designed for specific application scenarios, and it is difficult to adapt to changing detection scenarios
That is to say, the low flexibility of fixed hardware limits the adaptability of the radar system to the changing working environment. The resulting problems include: the visibility of the actual transmitted signal is low, it is difficult to flexibly encode and decode the signal, Unable to achieve adaptive adjustment of transmitted signal power and bandwidth, etc.
This method reduces the number of frequency steps and improves the efficiency of radar measurement, but it will produce grating lobe effects and cause false targets

Embodiment 1

[0069] This embodiment has adopted a kind of simulation experiment, carries out the chirp radar simulation experiment in the matlab environment, sets the detection scene as two point targets, is located at 100m and 110m respectively, the RCS (Radar Cross-Section, radar cross-section) of two targets Scattering cross-sectional area) is the same. First, the conventional non-interval scanning method is adopted. The frequency scanning interval is [1, 2.6] GHz, the total bandwidth is 1.6 GHz, and a total of 10 sub-bands are set, and the bandwidth of each sub-band is 160 MHz. Within each sub-band, a chirp signal is used to scan and extract target echoes. The synthesized broadband spectrum and 1D range image over the entire frequency sweep interval are shown as Figure 6 shown. Depend on Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 (b) It can be seen that there is no gap between the sub-bands when using conventional frequency sweep at equal intervals, and the broadband composite spectrum can be ob...

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of radio waves, and specifically discloses a nonlinear frequency stepping method and system for stepping frequency radar. Background technique [0002] Radar is a device that realizes the perception and detection of the environment and targets through electromagnetic waves, and can realize the acquisition of one-dimensional range images and two-dimensional images of targets. The working system of radar is divided into frequency modulation continuous wave, impulse pulse, random noise and so on. Among them, frequency modulation continuous wave radar achieves target detection by transmitting frequency modulated signals, which has the advantages of low transmission power peak value, easy modulation, low cost, and simple signal processing. However, traditional radar systems are usually designed for specific application scenarios, and it is difficult to adapt to changing detection scenarios. That is to say, the low flexib...
