Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar signal simulation, and particularly to a clutter data simulation method and device based on radar real parameter information. Background Art
[0002] In all stages of the design and development of modern radar systems, it is necessary to test the performance and indicators of the radar. If all use field tests, it will consume a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and is easily affected by weather conditions, prolonging the development cycle. In addition, the repeatability of field tests is relatively poor and the control is relatively complex. The indoor simulation test has gradually become an indispensable means in the process of radar system design, analysis and performance testing due to its characteristics such as economy, flexibility and high repeatability, and is widely used in the debugging of radar systems and the inspection of the performance and indicators of the whole machine. The indoor test needs to establish a model consistent with the actual radar environment and simulate the radar environment with software or hardware. Among them, clutter is an important part of the radar environment, and some important scattering characteristics of clutter affect the radar's target detection and tracking performance. For example, the power spectrum characteristics of the clutter simulation signal are related to the performance of the radar's moving target indication filter; the amplitude fluctuation characteristics of the clutter simulation signal are related to the performance of the radar's constant false alarm rate detection processor. Thus, whether the clutter data has accuracy, generality and flexibility is an important indicator for measuring the performance of the radar's optimal detector. Therefore, accurate modeling and simulation of radar clutter play a crucial role in the development of radar.
[0003] The conventional clutter data simulation method is to simulate coherent Rayleigh distribution, lognormal distribution, Weibull distribution and K-distribution clutter data based on two typical clutter generation methods, the ZMNL method and the SIRP method. This clutter data is a random sequence that obeys a certain amplitude distribution and power spectrum distribution, without considering the actual radar environment, and cannot meet the consistency with the working system and parameter characteristics of the radar.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a clutter data simulation method and device based on radar real parameter information to consider the characteristics of the actual installed radar parameters during the process of simulating clutter data, so as to improve the degree of coincidence between the simulated clutter data and the observed clutter data, and thus make the simulated clutter data consistent with the working system and parameter characteristics of the radar.
