Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of radar technology, and in particular relates to a Doppler speed measuring radar, which can be used to measure the forward speed and lateral speed of a vehicle relative to the ground. Background Art

[0002] Common on-board speed measuring equipment is mainly odometers, which use the number of rotations of the vehicle's tires to directly measure the distance and speed of the vehicle on the ground. It is a mechanical speed measurement. Generally, the odometer is installed on the vehicle's drive shaft. When the vehicle is driving, it will drive the odometer to count the number of rotations. Combined with the vehicle's diameter parameters, accurate speed and distance information can be obtained. However, when the vehicle slips, the wheels spin, drift laterally, etc., it is impossible to accurately measure the real-time speed, nor can it provide lateral speed data. In addition, the odometer also faces problems such as wheel wear and tire pressure changes.

[0003] Doppler speed radar can measure the speed of the carrier itself relative to the ground in a non-contact measurement method through the Doppler effect, thereby solving the speed measurement problems in the case of slipping and lateral drift when measuring speed with the odometer, as well as the accumulated errors caused by wheel wear and tire pressure changes.

[0004] Existing vehicle-mounted Doppler speed radar equipment includes: vehicle anti-collision radar, train speed radar. Among them:

[0005] Vehicle-mounted anti-collision radar is used to test the relative position and speed information between the vehicle and the obstacle. It does not require high speed accuracy. Most of them adopt a multi-receive antenna system. The radar uses a linear frequency modulation mode to obtain the speed and distance information of multiple targets. The characteristic of this radar is multi-target monitoring. The focus is on the relative position and distance information between the target and the vehicle rather than the speed information of the vehicle relative to the ground. Therefore, it is impossible to obtain high-precision speed information of the vehicle relative to the ground.

[0006] Train speed radar is used to measure the forward speed of a train traveling on a fixed track. It uses a fixed single-beam antenna to radiate the track to obtain the Doppler frequency, and obtains speed information by matching the track's strong reflection target algorithm. Since this mode uses a single beam, the beam irradiation direction is along the train's running direction, and the lateral speed cannot be calculated. At the same time, the vertical speed caused by the vehicle's bumps will be superimposed on the forward speed, introducing speed measurement errors, resulting in large measurement errors.

[0007] The above two radars have relatively low speed measurement accuracy and are not suitable for installation on vehicles. They cannot meet the requirements for measuring the forward speed and lateral speed of the car relative to the ground. Summary of the invention

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The vehicle-mounted Doppler speed radar device of the present invention comprises an antenna 1, a transceiver 2, a signal processing unit 3, and a power supply component 4. Among them:

[0035] Antenna 1 is divided into a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. The transmitting antenna has two input terminals, namely, a transmitting forward beam feeding terminal I 11 And the transmission back beam feed end I 12 The K-band continuous wave signal generated by the receiver is respectively transmitted through the forward beam feed end I 11 And the transmission back beam feed end I 12 Different directions of radiation are formed to the ground. When the radar moves relative to the ground, an echo signal with Doppler frequency shift is generated. The receiving antenna has two output terminals, namely the forward beam feed terminal O 11 and receiving backward beam feed end O 12 The receiving antenna receives the echo signal at a specific angle from the ground and feeds the forward beam to the receiving end O 11 and receiving backward beam feed end O 12 Output to transceiver.

[0036] The transceiver 2 has four input terminals and five output terminals, namely, a first RF input terminal I 21 , the second RF input terminal I 22 , timing control input terminal I 23 , power supply input terminal I 24 , the first RF output terminal O 21 , the second RF output terminal O22 、I-way intermediate frequency output terminal O 23 , Q-way intermediate frequency output terminal O 24 And phase lock indication output O 25 The transceiver is used to generate a low phase noise K-band transmission signal, and through the transmission beam selection switch, respectively, by the first RF output terminal O 21 , the second RF output terminal O 22 Output, and then through the RF coaxial cable to the transmitting antenna to transmit the forward beam feed end I 11 And the transmission back beam feed end I 12 Connected to excite the transmitting antenna; the first RF input terminal I 21 and the second RF input terminal I 22 Through coaxial cables, they are connected to the receiving antenna to receive the forward beam feed end O 11 and receiving backward beam feed end O 12 The received echo signals of different directions are processed in time-sharing mode through the beam selection switch, and then low-noise amplification and zero intermediate frequency orthogonal mixing are performed to finally generate two orthogonal Doppler frequency shift signals, which are respectively transmitted from the intermediate frequency output terminal I to the intermediate frequency output terminal O 23 , Q-way intermediate frequency output terminal O 24 The transceiver can also generate a phase-locked indication voltage to determine whether the output frequency of the transmitted signal is normal. This signal is output from the phase-locked indication output terminal O 25 Output.

[0037] The signal processing unit 3 has four input terminals and three output terminals, namely, an intermediate frequency input terminal I 31 、Q-way intermediate frequency input terminal I 32 , power input terminal I 33 , Phase-locked indication input terminal I 34 , timing control output terminal O 31 、422 serial port output port O 32 and power control output O 33 The signal processing unit has an intermediate frequency input terminal I 31 and Q-way intermediate frequency input terminal I 32 I intermediate frequency output terminal O of the transceiver 23 , Q-way intermediate frequency output terminal O 24 The connection is used to perform A / D sampling, frequency resolution and speed resolution on the orthogonal Doppler frequency shift signal output by the transceiver in sequence, and output the speed resolution result through the 422 serial port output port O 32 Output to the host computer; timing control output terminal O 31 Through discrete signal lines and transceiver timing control input terminal I 23 Connection, control the working sequence of the transmitting beam selection switch and the receiving beam selection switch of the transceiver; the phase lock indication input terminal I 34Phase-locked with the transceiver output O 25 Connection, used to monitor the transceiver phase lock indication voltage; the power supply controls the output terminal O 33 Connected to the power supply component, it is used to control the voltage output of the power supply component according to the host computer instructions, and then control the working power of the transceiver.

[0038] The power supply component 4 has two input terminals and two output terminals, namely, I 41 ,I 42 , O 41 , O 42 , the first input terminal I 41 Connected to the host computer, used to convert the vehicle-mounted working power voltage provided by the host computer to the voltage required for the transceiver and signal processing components to work. The second input terminal I 42 The signal processing unit power control output terminal O 33 connected to receive a voltage output control instruction of a signal processing component, and its first output terminal O 41 The transceiver power supply input terminal I 24 connected to provide the power supply voltage required by the transceiver, and its second output terminal O 42 The signal processing unit power input terminal I 33 Connection, used to provide the power supply voltage required by the signal processing unit.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The transceiver 2 comprises: a 100MHz temperature-compensated crystal oscillator 21, a phase-locked source 22, a power divider 23, a transmission beam selection switch 24, a receiving switch beam selection switch 25, a low-noise amplifier 26, an orthogonal mixing circuit 27, and a power supply processing function circuit 28; the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator generates a 100MHz low phase noise signal, which enters the phase-locked source for frequency multiplication phase locking to generate a 24.2GHz low phase noise transmission signal and a phase-locked indication voltage. When the phase-locked source is locked, that is, outputs a 24.2GHz signal, the phase-locked indication voltage is high. When the phase-locked source has no output or outputs other frequencies, the phase-locked indication voltage is low. The phase-locked indication voltage is output by the phase-locked indication terminal O 25 Output. The transmission signal F with a frequency of 24.2GHz o , after being divided by the power divider, two signals are output, one of which enters the transmit beam selection switch and is transmitted from the first RF output terminal O 21 and the second RF output terminal O 22 Time-sharing output, the working state of the transmit beam selection switch is controlled by the timing control input terminal I 23 The other local oscillator as the orthogonal mixer enters the orthogonal mixer circuit for orthogonal phase shifting to generate two local oscillators of equal amplitude and orthogonality F o 0° and F o 90°. With Doppler shift F DThe echo signal F o +F D Through the first RF input terminal I 21 and the second RF input terminal I 22 Enter the transceiver receive beam selection switch, which is also controlled by the timing control input terminal I 23 The control signal is applied to control the switch to output the echo signal of each channel in time-sharing mode. After being amplified by the low-noise amplifier, it enters the orthogonal mixer circuit. In the orthogonal mixer circuit, the echo is first divided into equal amplitude and phase to generate a frequency F o +F D Two identical signals, and then the signal is respectively compared with the two orthogonal local oscillator signals F o 0° and F o 90° mixing to eliminate the carrier frequency F o , and then low-pass filtering is performed to filter out the high-order mixing components generated by the mixing, and finally the two orthogonal Doppler frequency shift signals F are output. D 0° and F D 90°, respectively from the I intermediate frequency output terminal O 23 and Q-channel intermediate frequency output terminal O 24 Output.

[0040] In order to improve the speed measurement accuracy, the antenna beam pointing angle and configuration relationship are optimized. The forward beam and the backward beam of the antenna are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the antenna H surface. The E-surface antenna beam pointing angle α is 16°~24°, and the lobe width is ≤4°; the forward beam and the backward beam of the antenna are distributed on the same side of the antenna E surface. The H-surface antenna beam pointing angle β is 10°~12°, and the lobe width is ≤6°. Figure 3 shown.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 The signal processing unit includes: an A / D sampling circuit 31, an ARM microcontroller 32 and an RS422 interface circuit 33.

[0042] The A / D sampling circuit 31 performs digital sampling on the two input I and Q signals and sends the sampled data to the ARM microcontroller 32;

[0043] The ARM microcontroller 32 performs FFT and matched filtering on the sampled data to solve the Doppler frequency shift value, and calculates the current carrier forward velocity V according to the frequency shift and the currently controlled beam state and the corresponding beam angle information. X and lateral velocity V Y , the calculation principle and formula are as follows:

[0044] According to the Doppler effect, electromagnetic waves will produce a Doppler frequency shift F between relatively moving objects. D, when far away from the target, the Doppler shift takes a negative value, and when close to the target, it takes a positive value. Therefore, the Doppler shift can be obtained based on the basic formula related to the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, the relative speed and direction: Where λ represents the wavelength of the carrier, V represents the relative motion speed, and γ represents the angle between the propagation direction of the electromagnetic wave and the direction of the relative motion speed.

[0045] according to Figure 3 From the radar antenna beam pointing and configuration relationship shown in the figure, it can be seen that the forward beam of the antenna intersects with the ground at point A, and the backward beam of the antenna intersects with the ground at point B, and A and B are symmetrically distributed. α is the antenna E-plane beam pointing angle, β is the H-plane antenna beam pointing angle, θ is the beam incidence angle to the ground, and it satisfies: sin 2 θ=sin 2 α+sin 2 β,

[0046] Depend on Figure 4 The geometric relationship and the principle of Doppler effect can be used to obtain the Doppler frequency shift expression:

[0047]

[0048]

[0049] Where Vx is the forward velocity component of the carrier, Vy is the lateral velocity component of the carrier, Vz is the vertical velocity component of the carrier, λ is the wavelength of the carrier, and f A represents the Doppler frequency shift corresponding to the forward beam, f B The Doppler frequency shift of the backward beam is proportional to the three-axis velocity V of the radar. X 、V Y , the projection of Vz in the direction of the beam pointing is inversely proportional to the carrier wavelength λ.

[0050] The radar forward velocity V is calculated by the above formula X and lateral velocity V Y The following formula:

[0051]

[0052]

[0053] From the forward speed V X and lateral velocity V Y It can be seen that the vertical velocity effect on V X However, at V YThe direction will bring about twice the vertical speed error, but in actual use, the vehicle is driving on the road and the vertical speed mean is zero, so it does not affect the speed mean error, but the vehicle vibration and bumps will increase the instantaneous error of lateral speed measurement.

[0054] Calculated radar forward velocity V X and lateral velocity V Y The signals are sent to an external host computer through the RS422 interface circuit 33, and the ARM microcontroller 32 receives the external host computer instructions to complete radar self-test, beam control and power supply control.

[0055] refer to Figure 5 The radar in this example is installed on the side of the carrier vehicle at a height of 1m to 2.5m. The radar is installed parallel to the vehicle and is positioned by screws. The host computer supplies power and issues commands for operation / silence. When working, the radar outputs forward speed and lateral speed information in real time. When silent, the radar has no output and no electromagnetic radiation.

[0056] The above description is only a specific example of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation to the present invention. It is obvious that for professionals in this field, after understanding the content and principles of the present invention, it is possible to make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principles and structures of the present invention. However, these modifications and changes based on the ideas of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
