Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of radar technology, and further relates to a synthetic aperture passive positioning method, which can be used for unknown signal sources with short baselines and non-periodic discontinuous short signal sequences. Background Art

[0002] In the field of synthetic aperture passive location technology, traditional implementations typically use a single-antenna radar system mounted on a reconnaissance platform. This system passively receives electromagnetic signals emitted by a target emitter, extracts signal segments equal to the pulse width at specific pulse repetition intervals, and constructs the emitter's characteristic parameters using frequency, range, and azimuth. This system then demodulates the baseband signal to obtain a pure single-frequency signal. However, due to the lack of a collaborative working mechanism between the transmitter and receiver, accurate carrier frequency parameters are difficult to obtain in practical applications. This inherent non-cooperative nature of the system can lead to uncorrected frequency deviations, which in turn affects the accuracy of synthetic aperture imaging.

[0003] Dr. Wang Yuqi's paper, "Research on Imaging and Localization Methods of Radiating Sources Based on Synthetic Aperture Systems" (Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, 2023), proposes a satellite-based, long-duration synthetic aperture positioning method to minimize the impact of carrier frequency estimation errors on positioning accuracy. Its implementation involves: first, establishing a high-order slant range model from the receiving platform to the radiating source. By decomposing the line frequency modulation, an azimuth-matched filter is constructed. A azimuth-focusing-based minimum entropy method is used to estimate the high-order frequency modulation of the received signal. Then, a cost function is constructed to locate the radiating source using a grid structure in the geographic coordinate system. Finally, a positioning performance analysis method based on the orthogonality of the high-order terms is proposed to clarify the algorithm's ability to locate signal sources at different locations. However, this method requires a large amount of computation, which affects the real-time performance of radiating source positioning. Furthermore, the processing of range and residual frequency offsets is complex, resulting in low frequency estimation accuracy.

[0004] Patent document CN202411496349.9 discloses a "Radar Phase Difference UAV Altitude Measurement Method Based on Spectral Refinement Calibration." The method first receives radar echo carrier signals and mixes the intermediate frequency signals to form a radar data cube. The data cube's distance dimension is converted to the time-frequency domain to obtain a one-dimensional radar range sequence. Interference clutter is filtered out using constant false alarm detection technology, and the maximum peak value within the range is searched to determine the range threshold of the observation area. Spectral refinement is performed on specific frequency bands in the observation area using Chirp-Z transform. A quadratic polynomial is constructed using parabolic fitting for spectrum line calibration, obtaining frequency information of the observation area after spectrum refinement and calibration. The phase sequence of the observation area's range threshold is extracted, and phase unwrapping is used to unwrap the phases of adjacent frames. Combining frequency and phase information, the method determines the drone's relative ground height. While this method can help drones quickly provide feedback on their relative ground height and avoid collision risks, the complex data processing algorithm and the lengthy processing time result in a lack of timely data processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
