Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of radar technology, and in particular relates to a method for correcting unit spacing and inertial navigation installation errors. Background Art

[0002] Measuring target position parameters is one of the main tasks of radar, guiding its own air defense weapons to intercept incoming missiles or aircraft and indicating the direction for precise strikes. Radar angle measurement accuracy is a key factor in achieving the success of a strike, and it is also one of the key tactical indicators of the radar system. The influence of unit spacing and inertial navigation installation errors on angle accuracy presents a nonlinear characteristic. Only by finding the correct correction value can the angle measurement accuracy be effectively improved. If the actual unit spacing deviates from the design value, there will be deviations in the beam pointing, which will directly lead to the deterioration of the array angle measurement accuracy; the inertial navigation installation reference surface often inevitably has errors, which affects the target's angle output in the geodetic coordinate system. The current calibration method has the following problems:

[0003] (1) The calibration process is complicated, the consistency of repeated calibration results is poor, and the situation within the scanning angle range is not comprehensively considered;

[0004] (2) The influence of unit spacing error is often not taken seriously, and the correction of unit spacing is ignored;

[0005] (3) Only static calibration is performed on the inertial navigation installation error, and the error correction parameters of the radar dynamic process are not calibrated. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the problem of poor radar angle measurement accuracy caused by unit spacing and inertial navigation installation errors, extract unit spacing and inertial navigation installation error correction values ​​based on measurement data, and effectively improve the accuracy of radar angle measurement.

[0007] The present invention provides a method for correcting unit spacing and inertial navigation installation errors, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 1. Obtain radar measurement data. Record M groups of tracking measurement data at the same time, each group contains: beam pointing angle (A0, E0), inertial navigation attitude (N, T, D), array unit phase shift basis vector (α, β) and target point angle measurement value (A, E); beam pointing angle is azimuth A0, pitch E0; inertial navigation attitude is heading angle N, array tilt angle T, roll angle D; array unit phase shift basis vector is azimuth α, pitch β; target point angle measurement value is azimuth A, pitch E; calibrate the azimuth angle A from the center of the outer antenna to the center of the radar array T , pitch angle E T .

[0009] Step 2: Preprocess the radar measurement data to calculate the beam pointing coordinates (u0, v0) in the sinusoidal space, the target coordinates (u, v), and the deviation of the target relative to the beam pointing in the sinusoidal space (Δu, Δv).

[0010] Step 2.1: Convert the beam pointing angle from the earth polar coordinates (A0, E0) to the array polar coordinates based on the inertial navigation attitude (N, T, D). Then we get the beam pointing coordinates (u0, v0) in sinusoidal space; where the inertial navigation attitude is the heading angle N, the array inclination angle T, and the roll angle D; the array polar coordinates are the azimuth Pitch θ0.

[0062] The present invention provides a method for correcting unit spacing and inertial navigation installation errors, the method comprising the following steps:

[0063] Step 1, obtain radar measurement data, record M groups of tracking measurement data at the same time, each group contains: beam pointing angle (A0, E0), inertial navigation attitude (N, T, D), array unit phase shift basis vector (α, β) and target point angle measurement value (A, E); beam pointing angle is azimuth A0, pitch E0; inertial navigation attitude is heading angle N, array tilt angle T, roll angle D; array unit phase shift basis vector is azimuth α, pitch β; target point angle measurement value is azimuth A, pitch E; calibrate the azimuth angle A from the center of the outer antenna to the center of the radar array T , pitch angle E T .

The method according to claim 1, characterized in that In step 3, the target's polar coordinates The conversion process to the geodetic polar coordinates (A′, E′) should be based on the definitions of the geodetic coordinate system, the array coordinate system and the inertial navigation attitude angle; Polar coordinates The conversion process to the geodetic polar coordinates (A′, E′) is as follows: first convert the array polar coordinates Convert to rectangular coordinates (X R ,Y R ,Z R ), and then converted to geodetic rectangular coordinates (X n ,Y n ,Z n ), and finally converted to geodetic polar coordinates (A′, E′), specifically: E′=asinZ n 。 9. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step 5, the rotation matrix C from the array coordinate system to the inertial navigation reference plane Rb , which should be determined according to the definition of the array coordinate system and the inertial navigation attitude angle; The rotation matrix C from the array coordinate system to the inertial navigation reference plane Rb , the specific conversion formula is:
