Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of radar technology, and further relates to a synthetic aperture passive positioning method and system, which can be used for an unknown signal source that transmits non-periodic discontinuous extremely short pulses or continuous wave signals. 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] In his published paper “Synthetic Aperture Passive Positioning Method and System”, Wang Yuqi disclosed a synthetic aperture passive positioning method and system. During the positioning process, by analyzing the influence of the higher-order terms of the slant range history on the distance positioning error, an approximate expression for the positioning error based on the matching of the second-order terms was proposed, and a method for optimizing the synthetic aperture length was given. During signal processing, the synthetic aperture technology is used to perform coherent accumulation on the received signal, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and resolution. Although this method can solve the problem of distance positioning error caused by the higher-order terms of the slant range history in traditional passive positioning methods, it overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology in that it is difficult to balance positioning accuracy and resolution, and achieves high-precision positioning of the radiation source. However, since it requires a long time to coherently accumulate the signal, and the airborne platform needs to fly over the zero-crossing point of the angle with the target, the timeliness and usage scenarios of the positioning method are limited.

[0004] Patent document CN202210135040.1 discloses a "passive synthetic aperture radiation source positioning method based on phase differential interferometry processing." It performs phase differentiation on two received signals, extracts the differential signal phase after low-pass filtering, and performs linear fitting. The time corresponding to zero phase is recorded, and the azimuth distance is obtained by combining it with the flight speed of the positioning platform. The frequency corresponding to the zero phase moment of the received signal of one antenna in the interferometer is extracted, which is the residual frequency deviation. The received signal of a single antenna is demodulated, and a matched filter with different frequency modulation slopes is used to search and estimate the Doppler modulation frequency to obtain the range distance. The final positioning is achieved by combining the azimuth distance. This method can accurately estimate the residual frequency and azimuth distance, and can reduce the passive synthetic aperture radiation source positioning from a two-dimensional search to a one-dimensional search, reducing the computational complexity. However, this method is susceptible to factors such as multipath effects and electromagnetic interference in complex electromagnetic environments, resulting in increased positioning errors.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , the implementation steps of this example are as follows:

[0034] Step 1: Build a geometric scene for passive positioning.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The geometric scene constructed in this example includes: an unknown radiation source, a reconnaissance aircraft and its two short baseline antennas.

[0036] The unknown radiation source is used to continuously transmit signals into the air. The radiation source Pi The coordinates of (X i ,R i ), X i is the radiation source P i The azimuth coordinate, R i is the radiation source P i The distance coordinate of i = 1, 2, ..., N, where N is the total number of radiation sources within the beam range;

[0038] In the geometric scene, an XOY coordinate system is established with the first antenna RX1 of the reconnaissance aircraft as the origin. The X-axis represents the direction of the reconnaissance aircraft's flight, i.e., the azimuth, and the Y-axis represents the direction of the radiation source relative to the reconnaissance aircraft's flight path, i.e., the distance.

[0039] This example is a short baseline passive positioning geometric scenario consisting of one unknown radiation source but not limited to multiple radiation sources.
