Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar, and more particularly to a frequency-converting frequency-modulated continuous wave radar. Background Technology

[0002] Frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCR) radar transmits a time-varying frequency signal to an object and receives the reflected signal. Since the frequency of the reflected signal also changes over time, the distance between the object and the radar can be calculated simply by determining the frequency difference between the transmitted and reflected signals. However, FMCR radar suffers from insufficient range resolution due to bandwidth limitations. If there is more than one object within the FMCR radar's range resolution, the two objects will appear in the same tone in the demodulated spectrum and become indistinguishable. Previous technologies have used superresolution algorithms, such as multiple signal classification (MUSIC) or the estimation of signal parameters using the rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT), to perform matrix decomposition using the orthogonality of signal and noise spaces, thereby improving spectral resolution. However, due to the high computational complexity of superresolution algorithms and the fact that the improvement is affected by system SNR, the number of targets, and data length, it is difficult to significantly apply them to improving the range resolution of FMCR radar. Summary of the Invention

[0051] S I (t) is the in-phase fundamental frequency signal, S Q (t) is the orthogonal fundamental frequency signal, E I,i E Q,i For the demodulated signal S demod The amplitude, α i (t) represents the phase change caused by the internal circuitry of the frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 100 and the i-th object, while the demodulated signal S demod Represented as S I (t) or S Q (t) then depends on the demodulated signal S output by the mixer. demod The phase determines it.

[0052] The phase change caused by the internal circuitry of the frequency-conversion frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 100 and the i-th object can be expressed as follows:

[0053] α i (t)≈(ω out +ω LO +2πK v V t (t))×τ s,i (t)

[0054] τ s,i(t) represents the time delay caused by the internal circuitry of the frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 100 and the i-th object, which can be expressed as:

[0055]

[0056] τ int,1 τ is the delay between the up-conversion mixer 122 and the transmitting antenna 131. int,2 τ is the delay between the receiving antenna 132 and the down-conversion mixer 123. p,i (t) represents the transmitted signal S T The transmitted signal S is transmitted to the i-th object by the transmitting antenna 131 and the reflected signal S. R The delay R between the i-th object and the receiving antenna 132 i x is the distance between the i-th object and the antenna element 130. i (t) represents the displacement of the i-th object, and C represents the speed of light.

[0057] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 The arithmetic unit 150 is coupled to the demodulation unit 140 to receive the demodulated signal S. demod The processing unit 150 is used to process the demodulated signal S demod Perform spectral analysis to obtain the frequency domain of the demodulated signal S. demod Phase and frequency of at least one tone. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 , is the demodulated signal S demod A schematic diagram of the spectrum obtained through spectral analysis, containing three tones. In the diagram, ω1, ω2, and ω3 represent the frequencies of these three tones, and M1∠φ1, M2∠φ2, and M3∠φ3 represent the amplitude and phase of the three tones, respectively. This spectrum can be represented as:

[0058]

[0059] or

[0060]

[0061] w(t) and W(ω) are the Fourier transform pairs of the window function, ω s,i For the i-th tone, φ is the frequency of that tone. s,i This refers to the phase of the i-th tone.

[0062] Since each tone corresponds to a specific object in region A transmitting a signal S... T The resulting phase change, therefore, Figure 3The three tones of this spectrum can indicate that there are at least three objects in region A, but due to distance resolution issues, it is not possible to confirm whether each tone corresponds to a single object or multiple objects.

[0063] In this embodiment, after obtaining the phase and frequency of each tone, the processing unit 150 determines whether the tone corresponds to one or more objects based on the phase and frequency of the tone. In one embodiment, the processing unit 150 uses the demodulated signal S in the frequency domain... demod To determine whether a tone corresponds to one or more objects, we need to check if its phase and frequency conform to a certain relationship. This relationship is:

[0064]

[0065] Where, φ s,i For the i-th tone, ω is the phase of that tone. s,i ω represents the frequency of the i-th tone. B The continuous wave signal S is modulated at this frequency. FMCW bandwidth, t s For the scan signal S scan The cycle.

[0066] If the equation holds true, it means that the tone corresponds to only one object; if the equation does not hold true, it means that the tone corresponds to multiple objects. Therefore, the operation unit 150 performs a super-resolution algorithm on the frequency range corresponding to the tone to obtain multiple tone ranges within that frequency range. In this embodiment, the operation unit 150 uses the frequency of the tone plus or minus a preset value as the frequency range corresponding to the tone. For example, if the frequency and phase of a tone with a frequency of 327Hz in the spectrum do not conform to the above equation, the operation unit 150 uses 327Hz plus or minus a preset value of 100Hz as the frequency range corresponding to the tone, that is, it uses 227Hz to 427Hz as the frequency range of the tone and performs a super-resolution algorithm on this frequency range to significantly improve the resolution of the Fourier transform spectrum. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The spectrum obtained by performing a super-resolution algorithm on the frequency range can be used to obtain two more tones in the frequency range, thus determining that there are four objects in region A.

[0067] Preferably, after the arithmetic unit 150 records the changes in the phase position of the same frequency position in different frequency sweep intervals, it can calculate the displacement of the object at that frequency position. If the displacement of the object is caused by the physiological symptoms of the object, the calculated displacement of the object can be represented as the physiological signal of the object.

[0068] In another embodiment, considering the leakage between the transmitting antenna 131 and the receiving antenna 132, even if there is only a single object in region A, two tones may appear in the spectrum. Therefore, it can be determined whether the tone corresponds to one or more objects by whether the phase and frequency of the two tones conform to the following relationship:

[0069]

[0070] Where, φ s,ij φ is the phase difference between the i-th and j-th pitches. s,i For the i-th tone and its phase, φ s,j For the phase of the j-th tone, ω s,ij ω is the frequency difference between the i-th and j-th pitches. s,ij =ω s,i -ω s,j ω s,i ω is the frequency of the i-th tone. s,j For the frequency of the j-th tone, t s For the scan signal S scan The period, ω B The continuous wave signal S is modulated at this frequency. FMCW The bandwidth.

[0071] Similarly, if the equation of the relation is true, it means that the tone corresponds to only one object, and if the equation of the relation is not true, it means that the tone corresponds to multiple objects. Therefore, the operation unit 150 performs a super-resolution algorithm on the frequency range corresponding to the tone to obtain multiple tones in the frequency range and determine the number of objects in the region A.

[0072] The present invention utilizes the processing unit 150 to demodulate the signal S demod Perform spectral analysis to obtain the demodulated signal S in the frequency domain. demod By analyzing the frequency and phase of each tone, the computing unit 150 can determine whether each tone corresponds to a single object. This allows the super-resolution algorithm to set the frequency range to be processed, thereby reducing the amount of data that the super-resolution algorithm needs to process and significantly improving the computational efficiency and accuracy. It can also improve the range resolution of the frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 100.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
