DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an echo modeling method for an active millimeter wave focal plane system is provided, comprising the following steps: Step S100: constructing a geometric model of radar forward imaging motion, and obtaining historical data of target echo distance at any time based on the geometric model.

[0022] Step S110 : constructing a multi-beam antenna pattern of an active millimeter-wave focal plane imaging system based on Fourier optics theory.

[0023] Step S120 , obtaining echo delay information based on target echo distance history data, constructing a three-dimensional echo model based on the delay information and the multi-beam antenna pattern, and generating a target echo signal of the active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system based on the three-dimensional echo model.

[0024] In step S100, a geometric model is constructed based on the geometric position relationship and relative motion relationship between the target and the active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system.

[0025] In this embodiment, a radar motion geometric model is established in the North-Sky-East coordinate system, such as Figure 2 As shown. Assume that the platform (i.e., active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system) moves in a uniform linear motion in three-dimensional space with a speed of , the initial coordinates are (0, ,0), and the direction of movement is The angle in the positive direction of the axis is The position of any target within the radar beam range is P , the initial target P The slant range from the radar is , the azimuth angle is , the pitch angle is .

[0026] Further, over time After that, the platform movement distance is , assuming the target is stationary, then according to the cosine theorem, the slant range from the target to the radar platform (i.e., the active millimeter-wave focal plane imaging system) is It can be expressed as: (1) In formula (1), Indicates the pulse slowing time.

[0027] Then, in At , the second-order Taylor expansion of formula (1) is performed to obtain: (2) In formula (2), represents the linear distance traveled, represents the quadratic distance bending term, express About Time Since in the actual detection scene the platform movement speed and the square of the movement time Much smaller than the initial relative distance to the target , so the quadratic range bending term and the higher-order infinitesimal term can be ignored. Then formula (2) can be approximated as, that is, the target echo distance history data is expressed as: (3) In formula (3), 、 、 They represent the slant range, azimuth angle and pitch angle of the target and the active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system at the initial moment, Indicates elapsed time After that, the distance that the active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system moves.

[0028] In step S110, based on Fourier optics theory, a multi-beam antenna pattern of an active millimeter-wave focal plane imaging system is constructed, which includes two parts. First, based on Fourier optics theory, a complex amplitude distribution signal representation on the focal plane field is obtained, and the focal plane field is approximated by the Airy disk function. The complex amplitude distribution signal on the focal plane field is simplified to obtain a signal representation on the focal plane field. Then, through a projection transformation operator, the signal representation on the focal plane field is projected from plane data to a spatial spherical coordinate system to obtain a multi-beam antenna pattern.

[0029] In this embodiment, it is known from the Fourier optics principle that according to the linear nature of electromagnetic wave propagation, the complex amplitude distribution on the focal plane is It can be expressed as a superposition integral: (4) In formula (4), represents the complex amplitude distribution on the object surface, represents the impulse response of the system, i.e., the point spread function, Indicates that it is located The point source at The complex amplitude generated by the point.

[0030] Furthermore, the impulse response of the system is the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of the parabola with a finite aperture, the center of which is the ideal image point in geometric optics. Position. The system impulse response function can be expressed as: (5) In formula (5), represents the circular aperture function, which is the finite aperture of the parabolic antenna and is defined as: (6) In formula (6), represents the radius of the parabola's mouth, Furthermore, after omitting the coefficient before the integral sign in formula (6), the system impulse response is the Fourier transform of the circular aperture function. For the parabolic antenna used in this system, the Fourier transform of the circular aperture function is the Airy disk pattern, which is expressed as: (7) In formula (7), represents the first-order Bessel function, represents the wave number, and , is the distance between the parabola's surface diameter plane and the focal plane, which is approximately equal to the focal length When the image point is located at the origin of the plane, that is, When , there are: (8) Furthermore, ignoring the space-varying characteristics of the point spread function of the system, the signal on the focal plane field is simplified to obtain the signal representation on the focal plane field, which can be expressed as: (9) Since the angle between the target scattering point and the platform changes constantly during the platform movement, it is necessary to consider the effect of the antenna directivity on the echo amplitude during the movement. The received data is projected onto the spherical surface Antenna directivity coefficient.

[0031] In this embodiment, the definition For flat data Antenna directivity coefficient in spherical coordinate system The projection transformation operator between , then: (10) (11) In formula (10) and formula (11), For the The antenna directivity of the array element is , Respectively Array elements in , The amount of focus in the direction, and Respectively The deflection angle of each array element in azimuth and elevation.

[0032] Therefore, by substituting formula (11) and formula (9) into formula (10), we can obtain The directional pattern of each element is the multi-beam antenna directional pattern, which is expressed as: (12) In formula (12), Represents the spherical coordinate system Next The antenna directivity of the array element is and Respectively The azimuth and elevation deflection angles of each array element, represents the first-order Bessel function, represents the wave number, Indicates the radius of the parabola's mouth.

[0033] In step S120, echo delay information is obtained based on the historical data of the target echo distance, including: transmitting a linear frequency modulated pulse signal with the transmission signal of the active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system as the pulse repetition interval, constructing an echo signal, performing pulse compression and range migration correction on the echo signal in the time domain, and obtaining a focal plane array intermediate frequency echo signal, that is, the echo delay information.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission signal of the active millimeter wave focal plane imaging system is modeled, assuming that the radar system is Transmits a linear frequency modulation (LFM) pulse signal for the pulse repetition interval , expressed as: (13) In formula (13), Indicates distance to fast time, Indicates the transmit pulse width, Indicates the carrier frequency, represents the frequency modulation slope of the linear frequency modulation signal, is a rectangular window function, expressed as: (14) Then, the focal plane array The point P received by the receiving element The echo signal for: (15) In formula (15), is the complex scattering coefficient of the target P. It is assumed here that the scattering coefficient of the same target is the same at all observation angles. The first The directional pattern of the receiving array element is The value of the position, It represents the echo delay of the target point P, and its expression is: ,in, for The slant range between the radar platform and the target at any moment.

[0035] Furthermore, for the above signal Pulse compression and range migration correction are performed in the time domain to obtain the focal plane array intermediate frequency echo signal. The echo signal received by each channel is demodulated using the I / Q channel orthogonal demodulation to remove the carrier signal, and then pulse compression is performed. The obtained echo signal expression is: (16) In formula (16), is the wavelength, is the signal bandwidth.

[0036] In order to eliminate the influence of platform movement on the echo signal, the above formula is corrected by distance movement, and the result is: (17) Then, substitute formula (3) into formula (18) to obtain: (18) In formula (18), the first phase term is a constant phase term, and the second phase term is the linear phase term caused by the Doppler frequency, and its Doppler frequency is expressed as: (19) Therefore, for the entire imaging detection space , the echo data received by each channel can be expressed as, that is, the three-dimensional echo model is expressed as: (20) In formula (20), Indicates the focal plane The echo data received by each array element, represents the imaging detection airspace, represents the complex scattering coefficient of the target, Indicates the focal plane The directional pattern of the array element is at position The value of Indicates distance to fast time, Indicates the transmit pulse width, represents the rectangular window function, Indicates the carrier frequency, Indicates the frequency modulation slope of the linear frequency modulation signal.

[0037] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional echo model represented by formula (20) can be used to simulate the target waveform for the active millimeter wave focal plane system.

[0038] In this embodiment, a standard Cassegrain antenna is used as a focal plane array imaging focusing antenna, and each step in the above method is further described in detail. Simulation experiments are performed on the constructed three-dimensional echo model to verify the effectiveness of this method.

[0039] First, according to step S100, the geometric position relationship and relative motion relationship between the target and the platform are established to obtain the echo distance history data. Then, based on formula (12) obtained in step S110, the parameters of the equivalent multi-beam antenna pattern are calculated according to the parabola parameters, and the antenna pattern model is constructed. Finally, the echo signal model is constructed by obtaining the delay information and antenna pattern information from the echo distance history. After pulse compression and migration correction in the distance dimension, the three-dimensional echo signal model is obtained using formula (20) obtained in step S120.

[0040] Next, in this paper, the effectiveness of this method is verified by simulating two scenarios: point target and extended target. The Cassegrain antenna parameter settings are shown in Table 1.

[0041] Table 1 Radar target parameter settings

[0042] First, the modeling results for the point target case are simulated. Four scattering points are constructed with the parameters shown in Table 2.

[0043] Table 2 Scattering point target parameter settings

[0044] It is distributed on different planes in the far field parallel to the aperture plane and is distributed in a "T" shape on the xy plane. The target distribution is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1, the initial distance between the platform and the target is 3000m. The echo data of each receiving channel obtained by this method are pulse compressed to obtain the millimeter wave image on each distance slice, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the echo slices show that scattering point 2 appears in the slice at a distance of 2900m, while scattering points 1, 3, and 4 appear in the slice at a distance of 3000m. This is consistent with the relative distances of each scattering point from the platform. Furthermore, the positional relationships between the scattering points are consistent with the parameters set in the simulation, effectively verifying the correctness of the 3D imaging model for the scattering point target scenario.

[0045] Then change the simulation scene and select the SAR image data obtained by the Gaofen-3 satellite as the target scene for echo simulation. The original SAR image is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. The image size is 256×256 and the resolution is 3×3m, so the scene size corresponding to the image is 768×768m. The imaging scene is set as follows: the platform is located in the center of the scene, the height from the scene is 8000m, the radar bandwidth is 10MHz, and it works in a downward direction. The echo image obtained by this method is as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the target scene is located on the range slice at a distance of 8000m from the platform. The relative positions of the two extended targets in the image formed by the imaging model are consistent with those in the original scene, verifying the effectiveness of the system imaging model for extended target imaging.

[0046] The above experiments prove that this method effectively realizes the three-dimensional imaging echo modeling of coherent millimeter-wave focal plane arrays. The simulation of ideal point targets and extended targets verifies the effectiveness and versatility of the echo model. This model is of great significance for the echo simulation modeling and imaging performance analysis of multi-beam antenna systems.

[0047] In the echo modeling method of the above-mentioned active millimeter-wave focal plane system, a geometric model of the radar forward imaging motion is constructed, and the historical data of the target echo distance at any time is obtained based on this geometric model. Based on Fourier optics theory, the multi-beam antenna radiation pattern of the active millimeter-wave focal plane imaging system is constructed, and the echo delay information is obtained according to the historical data of the target echo distance. A three-dimensional echo model is constructed based on the delay information and the multi-beam antenna radiation pattern. The target echo signal of the active millimeter-wave focal plane imaging system is generated based on the three-dimensional echo model. This method fills the gap in the three-dimensional imaging modeling of coherent millimeter-wave focal plane arrays and lays the foundation for the design of focal plane systems and the research of three-dimensional imaging methods. At the same time, this method is simple and effective, does not require complex focal plane field calculations, and is suitable for fast radar echo signal simulation.
