Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distance compensation methods, and in particular to a distance compensation method and system for radar used in extraterrestrial landing measurement. Background Technology
[0002] Extraterrestrial landing measurement radar (LTRP) is used in the detection of extraterrestrial objects. Providing the lander's control system with multiple high-precision ranging and velocity values relative to the surface of the extraterrestrial object along multiple axes is a crucial sensor ensuring a soft landing. The LTRP transmits a linear frequency modulated (LFM) interrupted continuous triangular wave signal with a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz to the surface of the extraterrestrial object via a transmitting antenna. It then receives the scattered echo signal from the surface via a receiving antenna. Using dechirp technology, the LTRP reduces the bandwidth of the 500 MHz LFM interrupted continuous triangular wave signal to a difference frequency surface target signal within 0.5 MHz. This is followed by down-conversion and a 0.5 MHz bandpass filter to obtain the intermediate frequency signal of the large ground target echo. The signal processor, through digital down-conversion, FFT processing, and a centroid estimation algorithm, can obtain the distance to the ground.
[0003] In practical applications, the projected area of the beam at the same angular interval within the illumination area of an extraterrestrial object varies, and the incident angle on the surface also differs. This results in the echo energy received by the landing measurement radar not being symmetrical about the beam center. The spectral centroid obtained using the centroid estimation method is not the frequency corresponding to the beam center. To achieve unbiased estimation, a centroid correction algorithm has been proposed. However, this centroid correction algorithm only considers the influence of the incident angle and the antenna beam, without considering the influence of the landing measurement radar filter amplitude-frequency characteristics on the spectral centroid extraction. Since the filter bandwidth is generally 3dB, the spectral amplitude difference between the filter's spectral center and the passband edge is 3dB. Furthermore, considering the ripple effect of the filter's passband spectrum, i.e., the modulation of the filter's inconsistency amplitude frequency within the surface target signal of the difference frequency signal, the centroid estimation of the surface target cannot be ignored due to this amplitude modulation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for range compensation of extraterrestrial object landing measurement radar, in order to solve the problem that the inconsistency of the passband amplitude-frequency characteristics of landing measurement radar filter seriously affects the centroid estimation of surface target echo signal.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a radar range compensation method for extraterrestrial landing measurement, comprising:
[0006] The radar echo baseband signal after digital downconversion of the intermediate frequency signal is acquired, the baseband signal is processed by FFT, and CFAR detection is performed based on the FFT processing result to determine whether a radar echo exists. When a radar echo exists, an indicator of the presence of the radar echo is given.
[0007] Based on the radar echo presence markers, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the radar echo are analyzed. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the radar echo signal within the passband of the landing measurement radar filter are corrected at frequency points to obtain the corrected radar echo signal. The centroid estimation deviation caused by the inconsistency of amplitude-frequency characteristics within the filter passband is corrected.
[0008] The main lobe signal of the surface target echo is extracted from the corrected radar echo signal.

[0014] Furthermore, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the radar echo are used to perform amplitude-frequency correction processing on the radar echo signal. Within the passband of the landing measurement radar filter, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the radar echo are corrected according to frequency to correct the centroid estimation deviation caused by the inconsistency of amplitude-frequency characteristics within the filter passband.
[0015] Furthermore, using the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the echo signal within the passband of the corrected landing measurement radar filter, the main lobe of the radar echo signal is truncated, including:
[0016] First, obtain the gate center, near-side beamwidth, and far-side beamwidth;
[0017] Then, a beam with a near-side width of W is opened near the center of the gate. near The number of sampling points and the beamwidth at the far side of the beam are W.far The main lobe signal detection window at each sampling point.
[0018] Furthermore, the centroid estimation process is performed on the main lobe signal detection window after amplitude-frequency correction to obtain the centroid of the positive and negative frequency-modulated echo signals, and then the distance measurement value relative to the landing surface of the extraterrestrial body is calculated.
[0019] Furthermore, the incident angle information is obtained from the controller, and the distance measurement value is corrected for center of gravity deviation according to the incident angle.
[0020] On the other hand, this invention discloses a radar range compensation system for extraterrestrial landing measurement, comprising:
[0021] The system includes an FFT processing module, a CFAR detection module, an amplitude-frequency correction module, a main lobe signal truncation module, a centroid estimation module, a distance measurement calculation module, a centroid deviation correction module, and a distance measurement feedback module.
