[0053] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a millimeter wave radar rain measurement method embodiment is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0055] Step S1: construct an equivalent uniform sphere model of a raindrop using the equal cross-sectional area method to obtain the equivalent raindrop diameter.
[0056] In traditional research, the shape of raindrops conforms to the following nonlinear equation:
[0057]
[0058] Among them, r(θ) represents the radius corresponding to different angles θ, a0 is the radius of the equal volume sphere, c n is the cross-sectional area coefficient obtained from the experiment, and its specific value is as follows Figure 2 shown.
[0059] When the raindrop diameter is greater than 2mm, the traditional modeling method involves tedious integration problems. In engineering, modeling accuracy is often sacrificed to ensure computational efficiency. To save computing resources and ensure modeling accuracy, the embodiment of the present invention uses the equal volume approximation and takes into account the cross-sectional symmetry of the raindrop model, simplifying the problem to solving the cross-sectional approximation. The cross-sectional area can be obtained from formula (1):
[0060]
[0061] The vertical cross section of a raindrop is symmetrical along the horizontal axis and asymmetrical along the vertical axis, so the upper half of the cross section is slightly larger and the lower half is slightly smaller. Let the major axis of the approximate ellipsoid cross section be a and the minor axis be d. Since the elliptical cross section is completely symmetrical along the horizontal and vertical axes, solving the minor axis d of the equivalent uniform ellipsoid becomes taking half of the maximum and minimum values of the vertical axis of the model in (1), that is,
[0062]
[0063] Therefore, from the equal cross-sectional areas, the major axis a of the equivalent uniform ellipsoid can be obtained as,
[0064] a=A / d (4)
[0065] Since the horizontal cross section of the model in (1) is circular, according to previous studies, the other axis b of the equivalent uniform ellipsoid can be expressed as,
[0066] b=(λ1-λ2a0)a (5)
[0067] Among them, λ1 and λ2 are empirical constants, so the equal volume method is used, that is,
[0068]
[0069] An equivalent uniform sphere model of raindrops is established, and the equivalent raindrop diameter is obtained as:
[0070]
[0071] Where D = 2a0 is the actual raindrop diameter, is the equivalent raindrop diameter. In a specific embodiment, λ1=1.05 and λ2=0.131. This is only an example and is not limited to this.
[0072] Step S2: Based on the obtained equivalent raindrop diameter, a millimeter wave band equivalent raindrop uniform backscattering model is established for a single spherical raindrop to obtain the backscattering coefficient of the single raindrop.
[0073] Since the embodiment of the present invention equates the raindrop to a uniform sphere model, a millimeter wave band equivalent raindrop uniform backscattering model can be established for a single spherical raindrop to obtain the backscattering coefficient of a single raindrop. The distribution of the backscattering coefficient of a single raindrop is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, specifically expressed as:
[0074]
[0075] Where σ is the backscattering coefficient of a single raindrop, represents the particle size parameter, is the equivalent raindrop diameter in step S1, m represents a positive integer, a m 、b m is the scattering coefficient, which is expressed as follows:
[0076]
[0077]
[0078]
[0079]
[0080] Among them, J m+1 / 2 (ρ) is the Bessel function, H m+1 / 2(ρ) is the Hankel function, n is the complex refractive index of raindrops to electromagnetic waves, and the complex refractive index of the millimeter wave radar used can be obtained by the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, ε1 and ε2 are the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of water, respectively, and the expressions are as follows:
[0083]
[0084]
[0085] In formulas (14) and (15), ε a =5.48,ε b =3.51 are all empirical constants,
[0086] ε s =s1+s2(θ-1) (16)
[0087] f p =p1-p2(θ-1)+p3(θ-1) 2 (17)
[0088] f s =s3-s4(θ-1) (18)
[0089] θ=a0 / T (19)
[0090] Among them, s1, s2, s3, s4, p1, p2, p3 and a0 are all empirical constants, T is the thermodynamic temperature (K), and f is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the millimeter wave radar (GHz).
[0091] In one embodiment, the parameters of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the millimeter wave radar are as follows:
[0092] parameter Numerical Operating frequency band 60GHz bandwidth 3GHz Time width 60μs Beamwidth 12.8° Pulse repetition frequency 5KHz
[0093] Step S3: Based on the backscatter coefficient of a single raindrop, the number of raindrops within the effective illumination area of the millimeter-wave radar's transmitting beam is obtained by using backscatter uniform inversion.
[0094] Since the transmitting beam of millimeter wave radar is a cone, such as Figure 4 As shown, within the half-power point, the lobe width is 2θ, and the cross-sectional area of the beam at a distance R from the radar antenna is a circle, so the effective illumination volume of the conical beam is approximately:
[0095]
[0096] Where h = cτ is the depth of the effective irradiation area, τ is the pulse width, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Therefore, the sum of the raindrop scattering coefficients in this area can be expressed as:
[0097]
[0098] Where η is the radar backscatter coefficient per unit volume, and N is the total number of raindrops in the effective illumination area of the transmitting beam.
[0099] Therefore, the total reflected energy of raindrops in this area is expressed as,
[0100]
[0101] Among them, P t is the radar transmission power, G is the radar antenna gain, λ is the millimeter wave radar wavelength, L s is the system loss, L atm is the atmospheric attenuation loss, R is the radar detection range (can be 0-25m), P rain It is the total energy of raindrops received within the effective illumination area of the beam, which is determined by the amount of rainfall.
[0102] The millimeter wave radar selected in the embodiment of the present invention can measure the energy spectra corresponding to raindrops of different diameters, so formula (22) can be expressed as:
[0103]
[0104] Among them, P D is the total energy received by raindrops with a diameter of D in the effective illumination area, which can be directly measured, N D is the number of raindrops with diameter D in the area, η D The backscattering coefficient of a raindrop with a diameter of D per unit volume is expressed as:
[0105]
[0106] Among them, σ D is the scattering coefficient of a single raindrop.
[0107] Therefore, according to formulas (8), (23), and (24), the number of raindrops with a diameter of D in the area can be obtained as:
[0108]
[0109] Step S4: By performing inversion calculation on the number of raindrops of different sizes, the real-time rainfall intensity is obtained by integration.
[0110] Based on the number of raindrops obtained from formula (25), the total volume of raindrops can be calculated:
[0111]
[0112] Where, the equivalent diameter From formula (7), we can get:
[0113] Then, the rainfall intensity S can be calculated based on the total volume of raindrops. rain :
[0114]
[0115] Substituting formula (27) into formula (26) yields:
[0116]
[0117] Finally, millimeter-wave radar rainfall measurement is achieved by estimating rainfall intensity.
[0118] The rainfall measurement method provided by this invention first uses the method of equal cross-sectional areas to derive an equivalent uniform sphere model for raindrops. Then, within the framework of scattering theory, an equivalent backscattering model for raindrops in the millimeter-wave band is established to derive the distribution of the backscattering coefficient as a function of raindrop diameter. Finally, by inverting the number of raindrops of different sizes, real-time rainfall intensity is calculated to enable millimeter-wave radar rainfall measurement. Under most rainfall conditions, millimeter-wave radar rainfall measurement based on equivalent uniform backscattering theory enables accurate, rapid, and real-time detection of rainfall intensity and other indicators.
[0119] The test results are as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 This is the instantaneous raindrop spectrum when the rainfall intensity is 66 mm / h. Figure 6 is the statistical distribution result after a rainfall. Figure 5 It can be seen that when the rainfall is in a torrential rain state, that is, there are raindrops distributed in the entire horizontal Doppler domain, which means that the rain in the sky at an instant contains raindrops of almost all diameters from small to large, and only torrential rain can reach this state; and the statistical results of rainfall show that the raindrops with a diameter of 1-2mm have reached an energy peak, and the raindrops distributed in 4-5mm have also reached an energy sub-peak. This is because the number of raindrops in the interval of 1-2mm is the largest, so the cumulative energy is the largest, and although the number of raindrops in the interval of 4-5mm is small, the energy of each raindrop is larger, and it also reaches an energy sub-peak. For comparison, Figure 6 The statistical results in the above data can be substituted into the method provided by the present invention to calculate the rainfall intensity, which is consistent with the actual rainfall intensity. The innovation of the rainfall measurement method provided by the present invention lies in the establishment of a new model and a new inversion method. The raindrop data measured through the experiment is verified to be the same as the actual rainfall intensity, thereby verifying the reliability and accuracy of the rainfall measurement method provided by the present invention through the experiment.
