[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] The following is the concept of the present invention: Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measuring the equivalent RCS of an indoor active forwarding target, including:

[0049] Step 100, determining the test delay of the test transmission pulse and the test reception pulse according to the first delay of the active forwarding class target and the second delay of the calibration body;

[0050] Step 102, determining target pulse parameters of an active forwarding target based on the pulse parameters of the calibration object;

[0051] Step 104: In the test area of ​​the compact range, the active forwarding target is tested using the target pulse parameters and the test delay to obtain the target echo power; the calibration object is tested using the pulse parameters and the second delay to obtain the calibration object echo power;

[0052] Step 106: Determine the target RCS value of the active forwarding target according to the target echo power, the calibration body echo power, and the RCS value of the calibration body.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the delay of an active forwarding target is first determined, and a test delay is derived based on this delay and the delay of a calibration body. This determines the duration between the transmitted pulse and the received pulse when testing the active forwarding target. Then, by fixing the pulse duty cycle of the calibration body and the active forwarding target during the test, the target pulse parameters of the active forwarding target are derived, achieving equivalent power output and reception. Therefore, accurate measurement of the equivalent RCS of the active forwarding target can be achieved without changing the traditional darkroom layout and test system, solving problems such as difficulty in controlling clutter and reduced power levels caused by high delay.

[0054] It should be noted that the active forwarding target referred to in the present invention is a target that first passively receives an external signal and then transmits the signal, which is different from an active target that actively sends a signal.

[0055] Described below Figure 1 How to perform the steps shown.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the test delay is the sum of the first delay and the second delay.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, step 102, determining target pulse parameters of an active forwarding target based on pulse parameters of a calibration object, includes:

[0058] Acquire the calibration transmission pulse width, calibration reception pulse width and calibration pulse period of the calibration body;

[0059] Obtain the start time of the transmit pulse and the end time of the receive pulse of the active forwarding target to determine the test pulse period of the active forwarding target;

[0060] The test emission pulse width is calculated based on the calibration emission pulse width, the calibration pulse period and the test pulse period;

[0061] The test receiving pulse width is calculated based on the calibration receiving pulse width, the calibration pulse period and the test pulse period; wherein the target pulse parameters include the test transmitting pulse width and the test receiving pulse width.

[0062] It should be noted that during conventional RCS testing, pulse parameters are determined based on the quiet zone size, chamber size, and the positional relationship between the target and the transmitting and receiving antennas, and are generally fixed. When performing calibration tests, the parameter settings remain the same as for conventional RCS testing.

[0063] Specifically, to ensure that the duty cycles of the calibration entity and the active forwarding target are consistent, the following equation holds: test transmit pulse width / test pulse period = calibration transmit pulse width / calibration pulse period, and test receive pulse width / test pulse period = calibration receive pulse width / calibration pulse period. Therefore, test transmit pulse width = calibration transmit pulse width / calibration pulse period × test pulse period, and test receive pulse width = calibration receive pulse width / calibration pulse period × test pulse period. It should be noted that test pulse period > calibration pulse period.

[0064] In the present invention, since the duty cycle is the ratio of the transmitted pulse width to the pulse period, it affects the average power of the radar. If the duty cycles of the two test pulses are different, even if the peak power is the same, the average power will be different. Moreover, the average power directly affects the intensity of the target echo signal. Therefore, by fixing the duty cycle, the average power of the two pulses can be ensured to be consistent, so that the echo signal strength is determined only by the target scattering characteristics (rather than the transmitted energy), thereby improving the accuracy of the equivalent RCS of active forwarding targets.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, obtaining the start time of a transmit pulse and the end time of a receive pulse of an active forwarding target to determine a test pulse period of the active forwarding target includes:

[0066] The duration from the start time of the transmitting pulse to the end time of the receiving pulse is determined as the test pulse period.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, obtaining the start time of a transmit pulse and the end time of a receive pulse of an active forwarding target to determine a test pulse period of the active forwarding target includes:

[0068] The test pulse period is calculated based on the start time of the transmitting pulse, the end time of the receiving pulse and the calibration pulse period of the calibration body;

[0069] The test pulse period is determined by the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, T c is the test pulse period; T0 is the calibration pulse period; t1 and t2 are the start time of the transmitted pulse and the end time of the received pulse, respectively. It should be noted that int() is a rounding function.

[0072] For example, Figure 2 The pulse diagram shown in the figure is, from top to bottom, a schematic diagram of the transmitting pulse during the calibration body test, a schematic diagram of the receiving pulse during the calibration body test, a schematic diagram of the transmitting pulse during the active forwarding target test, and a schematic diagram of the receiving pulse during the active forwarding target test. Figure 2 In the example, the actual time from the start time of the transmitting pulse to the end time of the receiving pulse of the active forwarding target is greater than 3 times the calibration pulse period but less than 4 times the calibration pulse period. In order to synchronize the pulse period of the calibration object and the test target as much as possible and further reduce the RCS error of the active forwarding target, Figure 2 The test pulse period is set to 4 times the calibration pulse period. This can synchronize the pulse periods of the calibration body and the active forwarding target as a whole, and improve the accuracy of the equivalent RCS of the active forwarding target.

[0073] In step 104, the Figure 3 The test is performed using the test apparatus shown, which includes a vector network analyzer 301, a transmit hardware selection switch 302, a pulse source 303, a power amplifier 304, a transmit feed 305, a receive hardware selection switch 306, a low noise amplifier 307, a receive feed 308 and a compact field.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the pulse source 303 is connected to the transmitting hardware gating switch 302 and the receiving hardware gating switch 306 respectively;

[0075] The output end of the vector network analyzer 301 is connected to the transmitting hardware selection switch 302, the power amplifier 304 and the transmitting feed source 305 in sequence;

[0076] The receiving end of the vector network analyzer 301 is connected to the receiving hardware selection switch 306 , the low noise amplifier 307 and the receiving feed source 308 in sequence.

[0077] Specifically, the output of the vector network analyzer is sequentially connected to a transmit hardware gating switch, a power amplifier, and a transmit feed. The transmit signal is modulated by the hardware gating switch, amplified by the power amplifier, and then radiated into the compact field anechoic chamber via the transmit feed. The receive end of the vector network analyzer is connected to a receive hardware gating switch, a low-noise amplifier, and a receive feed. The receive signal passes through the receive feed, is amplified by the low-noise amplifier, enters the receive hardware gating switch, is modulated, and is received by the vector network analyzer.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the duty cycle of the emission pulses of the pulse source 303 is higher than 10%.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment, in step 106, determining the target RCS value of the active forwarding target based on the target echo power, the calibration body echo power, and the calibration body RCS value includes:

[0080] Calculate the ratio of the RCS value of the calibration body to the echo power of the calibration body;

[0081] The product of the ratio and the target echo power is taken as the target RCS value.

[0082] Specifically, target RCS value=RCS value of calibration volume×target echo power / calibration volume echo power.

The system embodiment can be implemented by software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware.
