Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of radar technology, and in particular to a millimeter wave radar and an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art
[0002] MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology refers to the technology of using multiple transmitting and receiving antennas for spatial diversity. Its basic principle is: using multiple transmitting antennas to simultaneously transmit mutually orthogonal waveforms (FMCW, OFDM, etc.), the multiple waveform signals remain independent in space, irradiate the target, and after scattering by the target, use multiple receiving antennas to receive the target echo signal and perform comprehensive processing on it to extract information such as the target's spatial position and motion state. The millimeter-wave radar using MIMO technology uses a multi-transmit and multi-receive antenna array to form a virtual large-aperture array, so the antenna gain of the millimeter-wave radar can be improved without changing the actual number and caliber of antennas. However, when this type of millimeter-wave radar is measuring the height of the pitch plane, because its side lobes are also high, the side lobe echo is higher than the main lobe echo, and false targets will appear, which in turn affects the recognition accuracy of the millimeter-wave radar.

[0027] See also Figure 1 The example shown, Figure 1A schematic diagram of the structure of a millimeter wave radar provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The millimeter wave radar includes a dielectric substrate 40, a radar chip 10, a transmitting antenna array 20, and a receiving antenna array 30. The dielectric substrate 40 is a mounting support structure for each component. The radar chip 10, the transmitting antenna array 20, and the receiving antenna array 30 are all arranged on the dielectric substrate 40. The radar chip 10 has a transmitting end 101 and a receiving end 102. The transmitting antenna array 20 is connected to the transmitting end 101 of the radar chip 10, and the receiving antenna array 30 is connected to the receiving end 102 of the radar chip 10. The broadband linear frequency modulation signal generated by the radar chip 10 can be transmitted through the transmitting antenna array 20. At the same time, the radar chip 10 processes the target echo signal received by the receiving antenna array 30, and generates an intermediate frequency echo signal by mixing the target echo signal and the broadband linear frequency modulation signal. After that, the radar chip 10 processes the multiple intermediate frequency echo signals to obtain the amplitude and phase information (amplitude information and phase information) and angle information of the target. Finally, the radar chip 10 performs threshold data screening on the amplitude and phase information and angle information of the target, and generates target information based on the screened data.
[0028] In order to clearly describe each direction in the following, we use Figure 1 The coordinate system in defines the directions. Figure 1 As shown, the coordinate axis X represents the first direction in which the two first series-fed antennas 22 in the transmitting antenna array 20 are arranged relative to each other, which is parallel to the plane where the dielectric substrate 40 is located, and can also be the direction in which the two second series-fed antennas 32 in the receiving antenna array 30 are arranged relative to each other. The coordinate axis Y represents the second direction in which the two first comb antennas 21 in the transmitting antenna array 20 are arranged relative to each other, which is parallel to the plane where the dielectric substrate 40 is located, and can also be the direction in which the two second comb antennas 31 in the receiving antenna array 30 are arranged relative to each other. The coordinate axis Z represents the thickness direction of the dielectric substrate 40, wherein any two of the coordinate axis Z, the coordinate axis Y and the coordinate axis X are perpendicular to each other, then the horizontal plane is the XOZ plane, and the pitch plane is the YOZ plane.
[0029] Based on the above orientation definition, the following describes the illustrated embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, and describes the corresponding positions, shapes, sizes and structures of the radar chip 10, the transmitting antenna array 20 and the receiving antenna array 30 on the dielectric substrate 40. The nouns such as "upper", "lower", "top" and "bottom" used below to indicate orientation or positional relationship are all relative to the third direction Z.
[0030] For the above-mentioned dielectric substrate 40, a high-frequency microwave plate material with stable electromagnetic properties can be used. Exemplarily, the dielectric substrate 40 can be prepared by Rogers RO3003 (tm) plate material. The dielectric constant of the plate material in the 78GHz frequency band is 3.16, the thickness of the plate material can be 0.127mm, and the thickness of the surface copper plating layer is set to 20μm. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the radar receiving and sending signals in the 77GHz-81GHz frequency band. Furthermore, a grounded metal frame 41 is provided on the dielectric substrate 40, and the grounded metal frame 41 is arranged around the transmitting antenna array 20 and the receiving antenna array 30. By introducing a grounding point by the grounded metal frame 41, the coupling effect of other radar structures that are close to the antenna can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the antenna radiation characteristics.
[0031] For the above radar chip 10, please combine Figure 2 See also Figure 1 Examples shown. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the transmitting end and receiving end of the radar chip in FIG. The transmitting end 101 of the radar chip 10 is at the lower end of the dielectric substrate 40, and the number of the transmitting end 101 is four, namely, Tx1, Tx2, Tx3 and Tx4 ports. The receiving end 102 of the radar chip 10 is at the right end of the dielectric substrate 40, and the number of the receiving end 102 is also four, namely, Rx1, Rx2, Rx3 and Rx4 ports. It can be understood that the structure of the radar chip 10 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and can be adaptively adjusted according to different design requirements. As for how to select radar chips 10 with different structures in actual design, for example: two transmitting ends, four receiving ends; three transmitting ends, four receiving ends; four transmitting ends, six receiving ends; four transmitting ports, eight receiving ends. It depends on the specific requirements for radar resolution, detection distance and detection field of view.
[0032] For the above transmitting antenna array 20, if Figure 1 The transmitting antenna array 20 includes a first comb antenna 21 and a second series-fed antenna 32 arranged orthogonally to the first comb antenna 21 .
[0033] Specifically, there are two first comb antennas 21, both of which face the right end of the dielectric substrate 40, and are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y. One first comb antenna 21 is located at the upper end of the dielectric substrate 40 and is connected to the Tx1 port of the radar chip 10. Another first comb antenna 21 is located at the lower end of the dielectric substrate 40 and is connected to the Tx2 port of the radar chip 10. Further, each first comb antenna 21 includes two comb microstrip antenna units 211, and the feeding points of the two comb microstrip antenna units 211 at least partially overlap. In other words, the two comb microstrip antenna units 211 can be connected to the same transmitting end 101 of the radar chip 10.
[0034] There are two first serial feed antennas 22, both of which face the lower end of the dielectric substrate 40, and are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. One first serial feed antenna 22 is arranged adjacent to another first comb antenna 21 and connected to the Tx3 port of the radar chip 10, and another first serial feed antenna 22 is located on the side of one first serial feed antenna 22 away from another first comb antenna 21 and connected to the Tx4 port of the radar chip 10. Further, any first serial feed antenna 22 includes two serial feed microstrip antenna units 221, and the feeding points of the two serial feed microstrip antenna units 221 at least partially overlap. In other words, the two serial feed microstrip antenna units 221 can be connected to the same transmitting end 101 of the radar chip 10.
[0035] For the above receiving antenna array 30, if Figure 1 The receiving antenna includes a second comb antenna 31 and a second series feed antenna 32. The second comb antenna 31 is arranged in parallel with the first comb antenna 21, and the second series feed antenna 32 is arranged in parallel with the first series feed antenna 22.
[0036] Specifically, there are two second comb antennas 31, and both of the two second series-fed antennas 32 face the right end of the dielectric substrate 40, and the two second comb antennas 31 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y. Among them, one second comb antenna 31 is arranged adjacent to another first series-fed antenna 22 and connected to the Rx4 port of the radar, and another second comb antenna 31 is arranged adjacent to the second series-fed antenna 32 and connected to the Rx3 port of the radar.
[0037] There are two second series-fed antennas 32, both of which face the upper end of the dielectric substrate 40, and are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. One second series-fed antenna 32 is disposed adjacent to another second comb antenna 31 and connected to the Rx2 port of the radar, and another second series-fed antenna 32 is disposed adjacent to a first comb antenna 21 and connected to the Rx1 port of the radar.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, since there are four antennas in each of the transmitting antenna array 20 and the receiving antenna array 30, the corresponding millimeter wave radar antenna array can be designed as a two-dimensional multi-input multi-output radar antenna array system according to actual design requirements. For example, two first comb antennas 21, two second comb antennas 31 and a second series-fed antenna 32 together form a first virtual sparse array 1a with two outputs and three inputs in the pitch plane YOZ, thereby improving the resolution of the angle of the detected target in the elevation direction. A first comb antenna 21, two first series-fed antennas 22 and two second series-fed antennas 32 together form a second virtual sparse array 1b with three outputs and two inputs in the horizontal plane XOZ, thereby improving the resolution of the angle of the detected target in the azimuth direction. It should be noted that the first virtual sparse array 1a and the second virtual sparse array 1b both refer to phased array antennas processed by array sparse technology. Array sparse means removing some array elements from a regularly arranged uniform phased array according to a certain proportion, or connecting these array elements to a matching load, which can reduce the cost and weight of the array antenna and obtain a narrow beam equivalent to a full array arrangement. When the array elements are uniformly excited, the sparse array antenna can obtain a lower sidelobe level than a full array arrangement.
[0039] Among them, each patch unit in the first comb antenna 21, the first series-fed antenna 22, the second comb antenna 31 and the second series-fed antenna 32 includes a plurality of patch units connected in sequence through feeding microstrip lines. The polarization mode of the patch unit can be horizontal polarization, vertical polarization or circular polarization, and Taylor distribution is used in distribution to reduce the sidelobe level of the beam in the direction of the antenna array. It can be understood that the shape of the patch unit is not specifically limited, and it can be rectangular, circular, triangular, pentagonal and traveling wave.
[0040] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 4 The example shown, Figure 3 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the distribution of the transmitting antenna array 20 and the receiving antenna array 30 in the radar is shown. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The equivalent array diagram after MIMO and array sparseness.
[0041] The first virtual sparse array 1a shown in the embodiment of the present invention includes five unidirectional antennas. Among them, the transmitting antenna Tx group includes two first comb antennas 21. The receiving antenna Rx group includes two second comb antennas 31 and a second series-fed antenna 32. The positions of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are represented by vectors, and the vector elements are 1 or 0. 1 indicates that there is an antenna at the position, and 0 indicates that there is no antenna at the position. The spacing between any two adjacent positions is λ / 2. Among them, λ is the antenna wavelength. In the first virtual sparse array 1a with 17 elements formed on the pitch plane: Tx=[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1], Rx=[1 0 0 0 1 00 1], after MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output technology), the equivalent array of the first virtual sparse array 1a with 17 elements is [1 0 0 0 10 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1].
[0042] The second virtual sparse array 1b shown in the embodiment of the present invention includes five unidirectional antennas. Among them, the transmitting antenna Tx group includes a first comb antenna 21 and two first series-fed antennas 22. The receiving antenna Rx group includes two second series-fed antennas 32. In the second virtual sparse array 1b with 15 array elements formed in the horizontal plane: Tx = [1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1], Rx = [1 0 0 0 0 0 1], after MIMO (multiple input multiple output technology), the equivalent array of the second virtual sparse array 1b with 15 array elements is [1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1].
[0043] The following is a description of various data of the antenna in the radar provided by the embodiment of the present invention through simulation experiments. Figure 5 It is the incoherent combined radiation pattern of the transmit and receive loops (horizontal: Tx3&Rx1 loop, elevation: Tx1&Rx3 loop). Figure 6 and Figure 7 They are respectively the normalized directional pattern of the virtual array factor of the E-plane of the first virtual sparse array and the normalized directional pattern of the virtual array factor of the E-plane of the second virtual sparse array synthesized by MATLAB.
[0044] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the radar's horizontal and elevation loop patterns are basically the same, with a maximum gain of 27dB. After the gain drops by 12dB, the angles are: horizontal field of view is 70°, and elevation field of view is 64°. Figure 6 and Figure 7It can be seen that the horizontal grating lobe position appears near 80°, while the horizontal FOV of the radar is 70°. The grating lobe is outside the horizontal field of view of the radar, so it will not be affected by the grating lobe and introduce false targets. The elevation grating lobe position appears near 60°, while the elevation field of view of the radar is 64°. There is a risk of introducing false targets with the grating lobe. The algorithm can perform an angular ambiguity resolution process to identify the false targets caused by the grating lobe.
[0045] In summary, the millimeter-wave radar provided in the embodiment of the present invention adopts a series-fed antenna and a comb antenna layout design to form virtual sparse arrays in the horizontal plane and the elevation plane, respectively, so that the radar has a high antenna gain in both the horizontal plane and the elevation plane, and also has a high angular resolution. Compared with the existing millimeter-wave radar, the main lobe of the radar is increased while the side lobe is reduced, so the side lobe influence of the existing millimeter-wave radar can be improved, thereby improving the recognition accuracy of the radar.
[0046] In addition, the structure of the series-fed antenna and the comb antenna reduces the usage area of the dielectric substrate compared to the traditional rectangular patch microstrip antenna, which can effectively meet the requirements of unmanned aerial vehicles for radar volume, weight and detection performance.
[0047] Based on the same technical concept, an embodiment of the present invention also provides an unmanned aerial vehicle, which includes an aerial vehicle body and the millimeter wave radar described in the above embodiment, and the millimeter wave radar is connected to the aerial vehicle body. Compared with the existing unmanned aerial vehicles that use cameras combined with visual algorithms for positioning, radar detection and positioning are more accurate and less affected by the environment and external factors, thereby effectively improving the intelligence of the flight and control of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
