Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to the field of radar detection, and specifically to a method, judgment method, and device for determining the amplitude of a corner reflector. Background Technology

[0002] Corner reflectors possess advantages such as strong RCS (Radar Cross Section), wide RCS mode, small physical size, stable RCS, and insensitivity to environmental conditions, making them widely used in polarization calibration, decoy targeting, and terrain detection. In decoy applications, corner reflectors can effectively deceive radars due to their strong RCS. Furthermore, due to their high cost-effectiveness and ease of operation, corner reflectors are frequently used to protect high-value targets such as ships and tanks, making them a commonly used passive jamming device. Therefore, researching and analyzing anti-deception jamming techniques for corner reflectors is of great significance.

[0003] For corner reflector interference suppression, polarization information can provide an effective identification method. The paper "Research on Anti-Corner Reflector Interference Based on Polarization Decomposition" uses Krogager decomposition to decompose the scattering matrices of ships and corner reflectors under a stepped-frequency radar system, comparing the changes of each basic scatterer at adjacent frequency points, and identifying corner reflectors through a dual threshold of stable frequency points and stability. The paper "Identification Method of Ships and Corner Reflectors Based on Polarization Decomposition" also uses Krogager decomposition to decompose the scattering matrices of ships and corner reflectors under a stepped-frequency radar system, obtaining the proportion of each basic scatterer, and training the target classification model using SVM (Support Vector Machine). For the polarization decomposition of the basic scatterers of corner reflectors, the above-mentioned papers all use Krogager decomposition. Observation of Krogager decomposition reveals three shortcomings when using it to solve for odd and even scattering of corner reflectors: ① Helical scattering is considered as noise excluding odd and even scattering, but helical scattering has poor representativeness for clutter. ② The Krogager decomposition assumes a zero relative phase between dihedral scattering and helical scattering, but in reality, a phase difference exists. ③ The secondary scattering model in the Krogager decomposition can effectively characterize secondary scattering at a single orientation angle, but trihedral reflectors exhibit secondary scattering at three different orientation angles. Therefore, a single secondary scattering model cannot accurately characterize the mixed model of the three types of secondary scattering. Consequently, there are certain uncertainties in solving for odd and even scattering in corner reflectors using the Krogager decomposition. Summary of the Invention

[0081] In one exemplary embodiment, assuming that the scattering matrix of the corner reflector does not change during pulse accumulation, the average Kennaugh matrix is ​​obtained by pulse accumulation of multiple pulses, including: obtaining the average Kennaugh matrix according to the following formula:

[0082]

[0109] The embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

[0110] I. Noise reduction was achieved by using pulse accumulation and Yang decomposition, resulting in stable polarization decomposition in clutter environments;

[0111] Second, for odd and even scattering of corner reflectors, a polarization decomposition based on the main diagonal is proposed, and the basic scatterer is more suitable for the polarization characteristics of corner reflectors.

[0112] Therefore, the diagonal polarization decomposition method of this application enables more accurate polarization decomposition of corner reflectors in cluttered environments.

[0113] This application also provides an amplitude determination device for a corner reflector, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: a memory 210 and a processor 220; the memory is used to store a program for determining the amplitude of the corner reflector, and the processor is used to read and execute the program for determining the amplitude of the corner reflector, and execute the method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0114] This application also provides a method for determining corner reflectors, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes: S310-S320.

[0115] S310. The radar receives the echo and calculates the amplitude of odd scattering and even scattering in the corner reflector using the amplitude determination method of the corner reflector described in any of the above embodiments.

[0116] S320. Determine the type of corner reflector based on the amplitude of odd scattering and even scattering.

[0117] This application also provides a corner reflector determination device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes: a memory 410 and a processor 420; the memory is used to store a program for determining corner reflectors, and the processor is used to read and execute the program for determining corner reflectors, and execute the corner reflector determination method described in the above embodiment.

[0118] The above embodiment is illustrated below with an example.

[0119] The right-angled sides of the trihedral reflector are all 0.25m. The incident wave frequency is 12GHz, and the wavelength λ is 0.025m. The external dimensions of the trihedral reflector satisfy 10λ. The surface of the trihedral reflector is divided into triangular facets, with the side length of the triangles being less than λ / 10. The trihedral reflector is simulated using the "PO+ILDC+SBR" model, with azimuth and elevation angles ranging from [0°, 90°] and angle intervals of 1°. The scattering matrices for primary reflection, secondary reflection, tertiary reflection, and primary diffraction are obtained. The true values ​​of odd-order and even-order scattering are calculated, such as... Figure 5 Schematic diagram of odd-order scattering amplitude values ​​and Figure 6 The diagram shows the even-order scattering amplitude values.

[0120] Clutter is introduced into each of the four polarization channels. Using Krogager decomposition, undenoised main diagonal decomposition, and the error of the method of this invention, the following error coefficients are constructed:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula, Coe odd (i,j), Coe even (i,j) represents the true values ​​of odd and even scattering at different azimuth and elevation angles, Deo odd (i,j), Deo even (i,j) are the odd and even scattering coefficients obtained using the decomposition method.

[0123] With a signal-to-noise ratio of [0dB, 20dB], the error coefficients (i.e., error effects) of Krogager decomposition, undenoised main diagonal decomposition, and the amplitude determination method of the corner reflector in this application are illustrated in the diagram below. Figure 7 As shown. Observation Figure 7 When the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low, the errors of Krogager decomposition and the undenoised main diagonal decomposition are similar. However, when the SNR is higher than 5 dB, the undenoised main diagonal decomposition has a smaller error than the Krogager decomposition, indicating that the secondary scattering model in the Krogager decomposition cannot accurately represent even-order scattering in corner reflectors. Observing the method of this invention, when the SNR is higher than 7 dB, the decomposition effect is significantly better than both Krogager decomposition and the undenoised main diagonal decomposition, verifying that the method of this invention has a better denoising effect and can adapt to solving the ratio of odd-order and even-order scattering in corner reflectors under cluttered environments.

[0124] Furthermore, the time complexity of the three decomposition methods is shown in Table 1. Among the three methods, the decomposition of the main diagonal without denoising is the fastest. Since the method of this invention requires converting the scattering matrix to a Kennaugh matrix for denoising and then converting it back to the scattering matrix for decomposition, it takes the longest time. Given that the computation time of all three methods is in the millisecond range, and the corner reflector polarization decomposition method of this application has a significant improvement effect, the corner reflector polarization decomposition method of this application has certain application value.

It has good robustness and provides important technical support for anti-deception interference of corner reflectors, and has potential engineering application value.
