[0053] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition method 100 includes operations S110 to S150.

[0055] In operation S110 , a reference clock signal and a reference frequency signal are generated.

[0056] During the signal transmission and reception process, due to the differences in the internal time management modules of multiple-band radars, there are errors in the data receiving time windows of each band radar, making it difficult to achieve unified control of multiple-band radars and unable to synchronously obtain the echo data fed back by multiple-band radars.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above technical problems can be overcome by providing a unified reference clock signal and a reference frequency signal for multiple band radars to provide a clock reference and a frequency reference for the multiple band radars.

[0058] Specifically, high-precision time alignment of multiple band radars can be achieved based on the reference clock signal, and the reference frequency signal can be used as the frequency reference to provide multiple band radars with a homogeneous, frequency-duration-phase adjustable pulse repetition frequency. The reference clock signal is subsequently used to estimate the delay error of each band, and then the error of each band is compensated according to the delay error, so that the sampling delay of the echo data of multiple band radars is consistent, and then the multi-band echo data with signal level coherence is synchronously obtained; and the different pulse repetition frequency signals configured for each band radar based on the reference frequency signal can be used to verify the consistency of the delay.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating bands of the multi-band radar may include, for example, but not limited to, at least two of the P-band, L-band, S-band, C-band, X-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating bands of the multi-band radar may be selected according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0060] In addition, the reference clock signal and reference frequency signal provided to the multiple-band radars may be set according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited.

[0061] In operation S120, operating parameters of radars of multiple bands are configured according to the reference frequency signal and the reference clock signal, and the operating parameters are sent to radars of corresponding bands.

[0062] For each band radar, the radar's operating parameters can be configured according to the reference frequency signal and the reference clock signal, and the operating parameters are sent to the corresponding band radar. After receiving the operating parameters, each band radar will send and receive signals.

[0063] The radar operating parameters may include, but are not limited to, radar operating mode, frequency modulation time width, frequency modulation bandwidth, pulse repetition frequency (PRF), AD operating mode, number of sampling points, sampling delay, polarization mode, transceiver switch pulse width, etc., without specific limitation. In the disclosed embodiment, the operating parameters of radars of different bands may be different.

[0064] In this embodiment, a unified clock reference and frequency reference are provided for multiple band radars, thereby ensuring the time consistency of the radars of each band, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronously acquiring data by the multi-band radars.

[0065] In operation S130, a first pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by each band radar is acquired, and a first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar is determined according to the first pulse repetition frequency signal and a reference clock signal.

[0066] For example, the first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar can be determined based on the first pulse repetition frequency signal and the reference clock signal fed back by each band radar. The first sampling delay correction parameter will be used to correct the working parameters of each band radar so that the echo data sampling delay of each band radar is consistent, thereby synchronously acquiring multi-band echo data with signal level coherence.

[0067] In operation S140, the operating parameters of the radars of each band are corrected according to the first sampling delay correction parameters of the radars of each band, so that the radars of multiple bands can synchronously acquire echo data.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar is used to correct the working parameters of each band radar. For example, it can refer to using the first sampling delay correction parameter to correct the sampling delay amount, thereby making the echo data sampling delay of each band radar consistent, thereby enabling multiple band radars to synchronously acquire echo data.

[0069] In operation S150, echo data fed back by radars of multiple bands are acquired, and multi-dimensional SAR data is obtained accordingly.

[0070] After the working parameters of the radars of each band are corrected, the sampling delay of the echo data of the radars of each band is consistent. At this time, the echo data fed back by multiple band radars can be obtained synchronously, and multi-dimensional SAR data can be obtained based on the echo data fed back by multiple band radars.

[0071] The technical solution of the disclosed embodiment provides a unified clock reference and frequency reference for multiple-band radars, and compensates for the delay errors of the signals fed back by the radars of each band accordingly, thereby making the sampling delays of the echo data of the multiple-band radars consistent. It is possible to synchronously acquire multi-band echo data with signal-level coherence in a simple and efficient manner, thereby obtaining multi-dimensional SAR data.

[0072] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining the first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and will be referred to below Figure 2 An example implementation of the above operation S130 is described below.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for determining the first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar includes operations S231-S232.

[0074] In operation S231 , for each band radar, a phase difference between the clock signal and the reference clock signal is determined according to the clock signal and the reference clock signal.

[0075] For each band radar, after obtaining the first pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by each band radar, the clock signal in the first pulse repetition frequency signal can be extracted, and the clock signal and the reference clock signal are processed by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to obtain the phase difference between the clock signal and the reference clock signal.

[0076] In operation S232, a first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar is determined according to the phase difference and the reference frequency signal.

[0077] After the phase difference between the clock signal of each band and the reference clock signal is obtained, the first sampling delay correction parameter of the radar of each band can be determined based on the phase difference and the reference frequency signal.

[0078] Among them, the first sampling delay correction parameters of radars in each band satisfy the following relationship:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, Δt i represents the first sampling delay correction parameter of the i-th band radar, φ i represents the phase difference between the pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by the radar in the i-th band and the reference clock signal, F ref Indicates the frequency of the reference frequency signal.

[0081] Based on the above method, the first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar can be accurately calculated, so that the delay error of each band radar can be compensated according to the first sampling delay correction parameter, thereby realizing the synchronous acquisition of echo data fed back by multiple band radars, and obtaining multi-dimensional SAR data based on the echo data fed back by multiple band radars.

[0082] Figure 3A and Figure 3B FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process for achieving consistent sampling delay of echo data of multiple band radars according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3A and Figure 3B The principle of achieving consistent sampling delay of echo data of multi-band radars is briefly explained.

[0083] like Figure 3A As shown in the figure, for multiple band radars, such as band 1 radar to band n radar, before the delay error correction, due to the difference in the internal time management module of each band radar, the data receiving time window of each band radar has an error. For example, the receiving time windows of the data feedback from band 1 radar to band n radar are not synchronized with each other, so it is impossible to obtain and process the feedback data of multiple band radars in the same dimension, so it is necessary to correct the consistency of the sampling delay of the echo data of multiple band radars.

[0084] Figure 3B The schematic diagram shows the echo data fed back by the radars of each band after compensating or correcting the delay errors of the radars of each band. Figure 3B As shown, by compensating the delay errors of radars in each band, the data receiving time windows of radars in each band are aligned, that is, the sampling delay consistency of radars in each band is achieved, so that the echo data of radars in multiple bands can be obtained synchronously.

[0085] Figure 4is a flowchart of a multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition method 400 includes operations S410 to S470. Operations S410 to S440 and operation S470 can be implemented in the same manner as operations S110 to S150, respectively, and the repeated parts will not be described in detail.

[0087] In operation S410, a reference clock signal and a reference frequency signal are generated.

[0088] In operation S420, operating parameters of radars of multiple bands are configured according to the reference clock signal and the reference frequency signal, and the operating parameters are sent to radars of corresponding bands.

[0089] In operation S430, a first pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by each band radar is acquired, and a first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar is determined according to the first pulse repetition frequency signal and a reference clock signal.

[0090] In operation S440, the operating parameters of the radars of each band are corrected according to the first sampling delay correction parameters of the radars of each band, so that the radars of multiple bands can synchronously acquire echo data.

[0091] In operation S450, a second pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by each band radar is acquired, and a second sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar is determined according to the second pulse repetition frequency signal and a reference clock signal.

[0092] After correcting the working parameters of the radars of each band, the effect of the correction can be verified to determine whether the correction effect meets expectations. If the corrected result meets expectations, it means that the error of the receiving time window of the echo data of multiple band radars is within the allowable range, which means that the echo data of the radars of each band has achieved sampling delay consistency. At this time, the echo data of multiple band radars can be obtained, and multi-dimensional SAR data can be obtained based on it; if the corrected result does not meet expectations, it means that the working parameters of the radars of each band need to be corrected according to the above method until the delay error value meets the expected result.

[0093] For example, the second pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by each band radar can be obtained, and the second sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar can be determined based on the second pulse repetition frequency signal and the reference clock signal. The second sampling delay correction parameter will be used later to verify the correction effect.

[0094] In operation S460, the magnitude of the second sampling delay correction parameter and the preset threshold is determined. If the second sampling delay correction parameter is not greater than the preset threshold, operation S470 is performed; otherwise, operations S430 to S460 are performed.

[0095] For example, the effect of the correction can be determined by judging the difference between the second sampling delay correction parameter and the preset threshold. When the second sampling delay correction parameter is not greater than the preset threshold, it means that the echo data of the radars of each band have achieved sampling delay consistency. At this time, the echo data of multiple bands of radars can be obtained, and multi-dimensional SAR data can be obtained accordingly; otherwise, the working parameters of the radars of each band are continuously corrected until the above requirements are met.

[0096] In operation S470, echo data fed back by radars of multiple bands are acquired, and multi-dimensional SAR data is obtained accordingly.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, the correction effect is verified based on the second pulse repetition frequency signal fed back by the radars of each band, thereby reducing the error of the acquired data and improving the accuracy of the multi-dimensional SAR data.

[0098] Based on the above multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition method, the present disclosure also provides a multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition device. Figure 5 The multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition device is described in detail.

[0105] as well as

[0106] The second acquisition module 550 is used to acquire echo data fed back by radars of multiple bands, and obtain multi-dimensional SAR data accordingly.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first pulse repetition frequency signal includes a clock signal, and the first determination module 530 further includes a first determination submodule and a second determination submodule.

[0108] The first determination submodule is used to determine the phase difference between the clock signal and the reference clock signal according to the clock signal and the reference clock signal for each band of radar.

[0109] The second determination submodule is used to determine the first sampling delay correction parameter of each band radar according to the phase difference and the reference frequency signal.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the multi-dimensional SAR data acquisition device 500 further includes a second determination module, a judgment module and a third acquisition module.

[0112] The judging module is used to judge the magnitude of the second sampling delay correction parameter and a preset threshold.
