[0043] The application combines GNSS differential positioning with inertial navigation technology, and provides a method for detecting a target in a complex environment based on a GNSS and inertial navigation combined system, which mainly detects a low, slow and small target through a radar, locks the target through an optical video system, and counteracts after determining the specific three-dimensional coordinates of the target; the target detection system mainly comprises a pulse Doppler multi-coordinate radar for detecting an aerial target at a long distance, and realizes that a flying object can be detected at a distance (6 kilometers) or more, and the flying object is identified at a medium and short distance (1.5 kilometers and 3 kilometers) based on an all-around spectrum detection method and a pilot detection and locking method; the target detection system adopts a long-range photoelectric camera tracking and identification method to lock the target at a close distance (within 1.5 kilometers), and the whole process analyzes and processes the detection data based on a terminal display and control system provided by an upper computer.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 , the target detection system provided by the application is a portable and multipurpose short-range monitoring radar, which can be used for detecting ground personnel, vehicles or unmanned aerial vehicles; the monitoring radar mainly comprises a support part, an antenna part and an interface device; the support part can be supported by a tripod or fixed on the ground according to different installation forms; the antenna part comprises a radome, a planar array antenna, a frequency synthesis module, an all-solid-state transceiver module, a signal processor, a secondary power supply and a servo driver; and the interface device comprises a power supply unit and a terminal display and control unit.

[0045] The monitoring radar used in the application is a single-pulse three-coordinate radar adopting azimuth / elevation mechanical scanning, single-pencil beam transmission and azimuth reception; the radar is powered by alternating current 220V 50Hz; and the antenna comprises a secondary power supply for providing power conversion.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 , the terminal display and control system of the application realizes presetting of radar working parameters, command control of a servo drive and state monitoring through a communication interface with a signal processor; the signal processor is used for generating time sequence signals such as CPI and PRF required for radar work, and completing digital detection of echoes; the frequency synthesis module is used for generating a radio frequency small signal required for transmission and a local oscillation signal for reception; the solid-state transceiver module realizes power amplification of a transmission signal and mixed frequency reception of a target echo signal; the servo system is used for realizing azimuth rotation control of the antenna and providing azimuth encoding signals for signal processing; and the secondary power supply is used for power conversion, and provides required working power for signal processing and a transceiver subsystem.

[0047] After the radar is powered on, the terminal display control system first sends a state query instruction of radar operation, which is used to check the working state of all devices. When there is an abnormality in the device, the system will automatically locate the possible fault link and display it on the relevant interface of the terminal to remind the operator to perform maintenance intervention and the like. When the system is normal, the radar can automatically enter the default working mode to realize the investigation of the concerned area.

[0048] When entering the normal working state, the terminal display control system first sends the radar working parameters to the signal processor. The signal processor generates the specified working time sequence and the like according to the requirements and sends them to the transceiver subsystem. The frequency synthesis module in the transceiver subsystem generates the radio frequency excitation signal according to the time sequence signal and the working frequency control information provided by the signal processor, and sends it to the solid-state transceiver module for power amplification. The amplified signal is sent to the planar array antenna end, and is radiated to the outside world through the antenna.

The threshold decision is made, and the distance, azimuth, amplitude and time of the signal over the threshold are processed to form target information. The information is reported to the radar terminal display computer, and is displayed on the terminal.

[0049] The present application selects the radar frequency band:

[0050] When selecting the radar working frequency band, the main factors such as the requirement of radar detection capability, engineering realizability and the frequency band of radar equipment distribution should be considered. In order to ensure the detection power of the radar, the working frequency band is selected as the X band. At this frequency, the detection power, measurement accuracy and antenna size of the radar can be well balanced. In terms of engineering realizability, the development cycle and cost are analyzed to determine the possible frequency range. Considering the above factors, the radar working frequency band selected by the present application is in the X band, and the frequency is 10.38-10.48 GHz.

[0051] The selection of signal transmission form:

[0052] The most common method is to improve the average power of the transmitter by using a signal with large time-bandwidth product and to ensure the range resolution by pulse compression, therefore, the application adopts a large time-bandwidth frequency pulse compression system, and the frequency pulse adopts a linear frequency modulation form; in order to consider the minimum detectable distance and radar power, long and short width signal forms are selected, wherein the long pulse signal adopts a linear frequency modulation form to realize the search of the middle and far area target, and the short pulse signal adopts a simple pulse form to complete the search of the near area target; the long pulse selected by the application has a design detection range of 4km-12km, and the short pulse has a design detection range of 75m-4.5km.

[0053] The selection of the radar scanning direction is as follows:

[0054] In order to realize the requirement of 360° full coverage of the detection direction, the main systems that can be selected are a direction mechanical scanning system and a direction electrical scanning system, and the direction scanning is realized under the control of a direction servo driving system to complete the detection function of the concerned area; the radar of the application selects a direction mechanical scanning scheme, and a direction scanning schematic view is as shown in the figure. Figure 3 The radar provided by the application adopts a direction sector scanning mode, and can realize the observation of the area between-178° and 178°, since the antenna direction beam width is about 5°, therefore, the requirement of 360° full coverage of the direction can be met according to the mode, and the current ring part is saved, the system complexity and design cost are reduced, and the reliability is improved; the above direction observation range can be set according to the requirement, and the staring function of a certain angle can also be realized, the detection ability of a specific target is improved through the redistribution of the space energy.

[0055] The calculation of the radar detection power is as follows:

[0056] The calculation formula of the radar detection distance is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] The meanings of the parameters in the formula are shown in Table 1.

[0059]

[0060] Table 1: Simulation parameter table for power derivation

[0061] The selection of the working mode is as follows:

[0062] The radar provided by the application is provided with two working modes: normal search and staring mode, and the main working parameters are shown in Table 2.

[0063] Operating mode Rotational speed (rpm) PRF period (us) Pulse width (us) Long / short code Range (Km) Normal search 1 130 25 / 0.5 15 Gaze 0 130 25 / 0.5 15

[0064] Table 2: Comparison of radar working mode parameters

[0065] In the search mode, the search mode is the main working mode of the radar, and is used to complete the search detection of the target. In this mode, the angle between the normal direction of the antenna and the horizontal direction is set to 1.8°, and the rotation speed of the antenna is set to 1 revolution per minute.

[0066] The transmitting beam of the control plane array antenna is a single pencil beam, the elevation beam width is 8°, and the azimuth beam width is 5.2°; the receiving adopts a sum-difference monopulse form. When the rotation speed is 1 revolution per minute, the main design parameters are as follows:

[0067] Distance range: 15 km;

[0068] Antenna rotation speed: 1 rpm (6° / s);

[0069] Azimuth coverage range: -178° to +178°;

[0070] Elevation coverage range: -5° to +20°;

[0071] Elevation beam: pencil beam, width 8°;

[0072] Maximum effective distance:

[0073] Walking personnel (V>0.5m / s): 9km (RCS=0.5m2, Pd=80%)

[0074] Moving vehicle (V>2m / s): 15km (RCS=30m2, Pd=80%)

[0075] Unmanned aerial vehicle (V>1m / s): 4km (RCS=0.05m2, Pd=80%)

[0076] Minimum effective distance: ≤75m:

[0077] Pulse repetition period: 130μs;

[0078] Pulse width: 25μs (long pulse), 0.5μs (short pulse);

[0079] MTD points: 4096.

[0080] In the search mode, the radar transmits pulse width: long pulse 25μs, short pulse 0.5μs, wherein the long pulse signal is a linear frequency modulation signal, which is used for medium and long range target detection, and the short pulse signal is a simple pulse signal, which is used for near range target detection.

[0081] As shown in Figure 4 According to the radar power coverage diagram, the long pulse power coverage range is 3.7-10km; the short pulse power coverage range is 75m-4.2Km, and the long and short pulses can well realize distance connection.

[0082] The radar azimuth in the gaze mode does not scan, but stays at a fixed azimuth angle, and the 3D information display function of the specified azimuth, full distance and full speed channel can be completed by increasing the dwell time, the target detection and identification are completed by manual interpretation, and the monitoring of the key concerned area is realized.

[0083] Further, the anti-passive interference characteristics need to be analyzed while detecting the air target, and the radar needs to consider the following when detecting the target:

[0084] 1. Consider the ground clutter:

[0085] The ground clutter is a surface clutter, and its intensity is related to the clutter area irradiated by the radar antenna beam and the backscattering coefficient size of the clutter, and the radar reflection cross section area of the ground clutter can be expressed as:

[0086] σc=Rθaz(Cτ / 2)(σ0 / Lp);

[0087] In the formula, R is the distance, 0az is the 3dB width of the azimuth beam, which is 5.2°, τ is the compressed pulse width (the estimated value is 2.6us considering windowing), c is the speed of light, σ0 is the ground reflection coefficient, which is-20dB in X band, and Lp=1.33dB is the beam shape loss.

[0088] Therefore, the ground clutter intensities of different distances are as shown in the following table:

[0089] Distance (km) 1 3 5 10 dBm 2 )]]> 24.5 29.1 31.4 34.5

[0090] Table 3: Corresponding table of ground clutter intensity and distance

[0091] 2. Consider the weather clutter:

[0092] The weather clutter is a volume clutter, and its radar reflection cross section area can be expressed as:

[0093] σc=RθazRθel(Cτ / 2)η;

[0095] The calculation formula considering the reflection efficiency is:

[0096] η=6×10 -14 ×r 1.6 ×λ -4 ;

[0097] Wherein r is the rainfall (mm / hour), and λ is the wavelength (m).

[0098] The radar wavelength is 0.028m, and the relationship between η and the rainfall r is shown in the following table:

[0099] Rain rate r (mm / h) 4 10 30 100 Reflection efficiency η (m2 / m3) 8.97×10-7 3.89×10-6 2.25×10-5 1.55×10-4

[0103] Table 5 Correspondence table of meteorological clutter intensity and distance

[0104] The corresponding ground clutter and meteorological clutter intensity is calculated at 10km, and the calculation structure is shown in Figure 5

[0105] 3. Consideration of improvement factor:

[0106] The required improvement factor is shown in the following formula, and the calculation formula is:

[0107]

[0108] In the formula: and σ T are the clutter radar reflection surface intensity and the target radar reflection surface intensity respectively, Do is the detection factor, and for the RCS of 0.5m2 target, for 10km ground clutter, I≥50.1dB; for 10km meteorological clutter (rainfall is 10mm / h), I≥48.9dB;

[0109] The design index of the embodiment for the improvement factor is 52dB, which can meet the use requirements.

[0110] The calculation formula of the total improvement factor limit I of the system is:

[0117] Transmit signal pulse width jitter: I5=70dB; ​

[0118] Receiver linear dynamic range: I6 = 60 dB;

[0119] A / D quantization: I6 = 64 dB.

[0120] Further, the present application can also use radar networking for monitoring, the radar used by the present application belongs to ground monitoring radar, since the action distance is only 10 Km, therefore in order to meet the monitoring of large range area coverage, according to the user's demand, multiple radars can be considered to be configured in network, each radar station terminal equipment is interconnected with the superior intelligence monitoring network, the state control (working frequency, etc.) of each radar is realized by the superior intelligence network, each radar works independently, and the information in the detection area of each radar is reported to the superior intelligence monitoring network by the terminal, the schematic diagram of the radar network function is shown in Figure 6 .

At this time, the radar completes the withdrawal work and can meet the transfer needs.
