Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of target positioning and calibration, and in particular relates to a high-precision calibration method for the relative posture of a polarization sensitive antenna array and a target. Background Art

[0002] Polarization-sensitive antenna arrays use the correlation characteristics of multiple antennas with different polarizations and different positions, and are an important tool for locating the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal source target. Compared with traditional scalar antenna arrays, polarization-sensitive antenna arrays use both the polarization information and spatial information of the signal, and can have stronger anti-interference capabilities and higher angular resolution when estimating DOA.

[0003] In order to accurately evaluate the direction-finding capability of the polarization-sensitive array, a large number of tests are usually required in open outdoor areas. During the test and verification process, it is first necessary to use high-precision measurement equipment and calibration methods to accurately obtain the attitude information of the polarization-sensitive antenna array relative to the target, such as the elevation angle, left and right angle, etc. This information will serve as an important reference indicator for evaluating the performance of the array.

[0004] In order to calibrate the relative attitude between the polarization-sensitive antenna array and the target with high precision, a patent document with patent application number 202010670440.3 and titled "Method and device for establishing body heading and attitude coordinate system based on GNSS four antennas" proposed an attitude measurement scheme based on four antennas of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). This scheme can obtain the position and attitude of the antenna array through four GNSS antennas, and then combine the position information of the target to measure the relative attitude between the polarization-sensitive antenna array and the target (hereinafter referred to as existing scheme 1). The paper document with DOI number 10.3969 / j.issn.2095-6649.2015.06.10 and titled "Research on ground static calibration system of airborne interferometer array" proposed a calibration scheme based on a high-precision optical theodolite. This scheme first places targets on the antenna array and target to be measured, then installs a high-precision optical theodolite and measures the position coordinates of each target, so that the relative posture between the polarization-sensitive antenna array and the target can be measured (hereinafter referred to as existing scheme 2).

[0005] Existing solution 1 requires the use of four GNSS antennas to calibrate the position and attitude of the polarization-sensitive array surface. However, under the constraint of the array volume, the direction-finding baseline formed by the four GNSS antennas is short, resulting in low attitude measurement accuracy of the array. Existing solution 2 uses high-precision optical measurement equipment to achieve high ranging and attitude measurement accuracy. However, the observation distance of existing optical theodolites for small-sized targets is only in the hundreds of meters, which is difficult to meet the requirements of long-distance calibration of polarization-sensitive arrays. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention proposes a high-precision calibration method for the relative posture of a polarization-sensitive antenna array and a target, which can overcome the shortcomings of low accuracy of using a GNSS antenna alone and short calibration distance of using a high-precision optical theodolite alone, and can realize long-distance and high-precision calibration of the relative posture of a polarization-sensitive antenna array and a target.

[0010] The spatial coordinate measuring instrument is set in front of the antenna array, and the positioning device is calibrated using the spatial coordinate measuring instrument to obtain the measurement coordinate system R with the measuring instrument as the origin. 1 The coordinates of the electric axis coordinate system R on the polarization sensitive antenna array are further obtained 2 With the measurement coordinate system R 1 The conversion relationship A between the GNSS main antenna and the angle calibrator, and the azimuth vector m 12 ;

[0011] Obtain the longitude, latitude, and altitude coordinates of the GNSS main antenna and the GNSS receiver at the target;

[0012] Based on the conversion relationship A and the orientation vector m 12 , and the longitude and latitude coordinates, calculate the target in the electric axis coordinate system R 2 The coordinates, height angles, and left and right angles of the following.

[0013] Furthermore, the angle calibrator of the present invention is a GNSS antenna, that is, the GNSS master-slave antenna is fixedly connected to the polarization sensitive antenna array, or the angle calibrator is an angle measuring instrument, that is, the GNSS master antenna and the angle measuring instrument are fixedly connected to the polarization sensitive antenna array.

[0014] Furthermore, the spatial coordinate measuring instrument of the present invention is a theodolite, and the positioning device is an optical prism.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific process of step 4 of the present invention is:

[0016] First, the longitude, latitude, and altitude coordinates of the GNSS main antenna at the antenna array and the GNSS receiver at the target are recorded as P 1 and P 2 , calculate P 2 In P 1 is the coordinate of the origin in the northeast celestial coordinate system (e, n, u);

[0017] Secondly, obtain the azimuth angle θ of the line connecting the GNSS main antenna and the angle calibrator N , calculate the vector m 12 In R 1 Coordinate system with R 1 The angle θ of the y-axis of the coordinate system y , get the north direction and R 1 The angle of the y-axis of the coordinate system is denoted by

[0018] Again, based on the coordinates (e, n, u), the angle And the conversion relationship A, calculate P 2 In the electrical axis coordinate system R 2 The coordinates (x, y, z), the height angle α and the left and right angle β.

[0019] Furthermore, the positioning device of the present invention is a sticky marking target.

[0020] Furthermore, the specific installation method of setting the marking target on the bottom surface of the antenna array according to the present invention is: placing the target at four preset points on the bottom surface of the antenna array, and requiring n 1 With n 3 The line between the centers is perpendicular to n 2 With n 4 The intersection of the two lines coincides with the center point of the polarization sensitive antenna array.

[0021] Furthermore, the electric axis coordinate system R of the present invention 2 is n 2 Point to n 4 The vector is the x-axis, n 3 Point to n 1 The right-handed rectangular coordinate system is established by cross-producting the x-axis and y-axis to get the z-axis.

[0022] Furthermore, the coordinate (e, n, u) calculation process of the present invention is:

[0023] (1) Calculate P 1 and P 2 The latitude and longitude coordinates of the point in the Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinate system;

[0024] (2) Calculate P 2 In P 1 The coordinates of the origin in the northeast celestial coordinate system (e, n, u):

[0025]

[0026] Among them, P 1 The longitude and latitude coordinates are (L 1 , B 1 , H 1 ), P 1 and P 2 The Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinates are (X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 ) and (X 2 , Y 2 , Z 2 ).

[0027] Furthermore, the angle The calculation process is:

[0028] (1) Obtain the azimuth angle θ of the line connecting the GNSS main antenna and the angle calibrator N , that is, vector m 12 In P 1 is the azimuth of the origin in the northeast celestial coordinate system;

[0029] (2) Calculate the vector m 12 In R 1 Coordinate system with R 1 The angle θy of the y-axis of the coordinate system;

[0030]

[0031] like Line 2 Line 1 Then θy=90°; if Then θy=-90°;

[0032] (3) Set θ y -θ N The north direction and R 1 The angle of the y-axis of the coordinate system is denoted by

[0033] Furthermore, the present invention is based on the coordinates (e, n, u), the angle And the conversion relationship A, calculate P 2 In the electrical axis coordinate system R 2 The coordinates (x, y, z), the height angle α and the left and right angle β are:

[0034]

[0035] [xyz]=[x 0 y 0 z 0 ]A -1

[0036]

[0037] Among them, α is the elevation angle, that is, from the electric axis coordinate system R 2 The angle between the projection of the vector from the origin to the target on the yOz plane and the z-axis; β is the left and right angle, that is, the angle from the electric axis coordinate system R 2 The angle between the projection of the vector from the origin to the target on the xOz plane and the z-axis.

[0038] Beneficial effects:

[0039] The present invention uses a high-precision optical theodolite and a GNSS antenna in combination, and by means of the conversion between the longitude and latitude coordinate system, the northeast celestial coordinate system and the electric axis coordinate system, the elevation angle α and the left and right angle β of the target relative to the antenna array can be measured. Compared with the traditional solution, the present invention has the following innovations:

[0040] (1) The GNSS antenna and high-precision optical theodolite are used for joint calibration, which overcomes the problem of low calibration accuracy caused by short GNSS antenna baseline and low positioning accuracy in the existing solution 1, and solves the problem that the existing solution 2 cannot perform long-distance calibration;

[0041] (2) Based on the fixed shape of the rigid fixture, the same set of rigid fixtures for the antenna array only needs to be calibrated once with an optical theodolite, without the need for repeated calibration in the field, which is highly operational.

[0042] (3) The dual GNSS antennas do not need to be placed in the same plane as the polarization-sensitive array surface. They only need to be fixed by rigid tooling. The structure can be determined according to actual needs. In addition, the mutual coupling effect between the GNSS antenna and the antenna array can be effectively avoided by placing them in different planes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Place adhesive marker targets at four preset points on the bottom of the antenna array for subsequent optical theodolite calibration. Make sure that the center of the target coincides with the center of the point, and the front of the target faces the target direction. Figure 2 As shown, when presetting the point, n is required 1 With n 3 The line between the centers is perpendicular to n 2 With n 4 The intersection of the two lines coincides with the center point of the polarization sensitive antenna array;

[0058] (2) Connect the GNSS antenna to the antenna array to be calibrated, and ensure that the antenna faces upward to facilitate receiving GNSS satellite signals. Place targets on the sides of the two GNSS antennas so that the targets can be observed from the front of the antenna array to facilitate calibration of the optical theodolite from the front. Figure 3 As shown, the target m 1 The main antenna is at m, the target is m 2 The slave antenna.

[0074] (2) Calculate P 2 In P 1 is the coordinate (e, n, u) of the origin in the Northeastern Universe (ENU) coordinate system. The conversion diagram of the two coordinate systems is shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, the calculation method is as follows:

[0075]

[0076] (3) Read the azimuth of the line connecting the master and slave antennas from the serial port data of the GNSS master antenna, i.e. m 12 Vector in P 1 is the azimuth of the origin in the northeast celestial coordinate system (the angle with the north direction, recorded as θ N ), θ N ∈[0,360°];

[0077] (4) Then the vector m is calculated by the following formula 12 In R 1 Coordinate system with R 1 The angle θy of the y-axis of the coordinate system;

[0079] like Line 2 Line 1 Then θy=90°; if Then θy=-90°;

[0080] (5)θ y -θ N , we can get the north direction and R 1 The angle of the y-axis of the coordinate system is denoted by

[0081] (4) Through the following formula

[0082]

[0083] Calculate P 2 In R 1 Coordinates in the coordinate system (x0 ,y 0 ,z 0 ), and then calculate P by the following formula 2 In the electrical axis coordinate system R 2 The coordinates (x,y,z) are:

[0084] [xyz]=[x 0 y 0 z 0 ]A -1

[0085] And calculate P by the following formula 2 Relative to the electric axis coordinate system R of the polarization sensitive antenna array 2 The height angle and left and right angles of:
