TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of radar detection, and particularly to a radar monopulse three-dimensional direction finding method and system based on a cross antenna array. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to determine the spatial position of a target, the radar not only needs to determine the distance of the target, but also needs to determine the direction of the target, i.e. to determine the angular coordinates of the target, including the azimuth angle and the elevation angle of the target. Commonly used radar angle measurement methods include: amplitude method and phase method.
[0003] Amplitude method direction finding is based on the principle that the voltage amplitude induced on a directional antenna has a certain directional characteristic, and when the antenna rotates or is equivalent to rotating, the output voltage amplitude changes according to the polar pattern. Therefore, amplitude method direction finding is also called polar pattern direction finding. Amplitude method direction finding can be further divided into three categories: minimum signal method direction finding, maximum signal method direction finding, and amplitude comparison method direction finding. Minimum signal method direction finding is also called small sound point direction finding or "silence point" direction finding. It requires the polar pattern of the directional antenna to have one or more zero receiving points. When direction finding, the antenna is rotated. When the output signal of the direction finder is at a minimum value or is a small sound point (silence point) in hearing, it indicates that the zero receiving point of the polar pattern of the antenna is aligned with the direction of arrival of the wave. According to the angle of the antenna at this time, the direction of arrival value of the target signal can be determined. Since the strength of the output signal of the antenna changes sharply near the zero receiving point of the polar pattern, a small angle of rotation of the antenna can cause a large change in the amplitude of the signal. Therefore, the direction finding accuracy is much higher than that of maximum signal method direction finding; however, the reduction in signal-to-noise ratio near the minimum value of the signal will slightly reduce the direction finding accuracy. Maximum signal method direction finding requires the antenna to have a sharp directional characteristic. When direction finding, the antenna is rotated. When the output of the direction finder reaches a maximum signal value, it indicates that the main lobe of the polar pattern of the antenna is pointing to the direction of arrival of the wave. According to the pointing direction of the main lobe of the antenna at this time, the direction of arrival value of the target signal can be determined. Since the direction finding degree is obtained when the received signal of the antenna is at a maximum value, it has the ability to direction find weak signals, but the main disadvantage is that the direction finding accuracy is low. Because the polar pattern of the antenna changes slowly near the maximum value, a large angle of rotation (10% to 25% of the half-power point beam width) of the antenna is required to measure the significant change in the output voltage. Amplitude comparison method direction finding uses the ratio of the amplitudes of the voltages induced by the incoming signal on two antennas with the same structure and electrical properties, i.e., the intersection point characteristic of the two polar patterns, to complete the direction finding task. If the directional antenna is a strong directional antenna, then amplitude comparison method direction finding can be performed by comparing whether the signals output by the two antennas are equal, which is also called equal signal method direction finding. If the antenna has a slight rotation at this time, there will be a large difference in the amplitudes of the voltages output by the two antennas. Therefore, it has a high direction finding accuracy, just like minimum signal method direction finding, and also has a high direction finding receiving sensitivity because it uses the main lobe of the polar pattern to direction find. If the antenna is an "8" shaped directional antenna, then the ratio of the voltages output by the two antennas needs to be calculated to complete the direction finding task.
[0004] Phase direction finding is to measure the phase difference between the induced voltages on each antenna element in the direction finding antenna system. The induced voltages on each antenna element have the same amplitude, but due to the different locations of each antenna element, the paths of the wave propagation are different, resulting in different propagation times, and finally forming the phase difference between the induced voltages. In the actual application of the direction finding method, the interferometer direction finding, Doppler direction finding and time difference direction finding all belong to the category of phase direction finding. Considering Figure 1 The receiving voltages of the four antenna elements uniformly distributed on the circular array are
[0005]
[0006] The phase differences formed when the incident wave reaches the NS antenna pair and the EW antenna pair are respectively:
[0007]
[0008]
[0009] Since Therefore, the azimuth angle is:
[0010]
[0011] The elevation angle is:
[0012]
[0013] Phase direction finding requires channel amplitude and phase mismatch correction for multiple receiving channels, has high computational complexity, complex equipment, and requires high signal-to-noise. SUMMARY

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0054] The purpose of the present application is to provide a radar monopulse three-dimensional direction finding method and system based on a cross antenna array, so as to achieve higher measurement accuracy under lower signal-to-noise ratio and reduce the complexity of calculation.
[0055] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0056] Embodiment 1
[0057] The embodiments of the present application provide a radar monopulse three-dimensional direction finding method based on a cross antenna array. The three-dimensional direction finding in the embodiments of the present application refers to two three-dimensional solid incident angles, i.e. azimuth angle and pitch angle. For two-dimensional direction finding, there is only one incident angle, i.e. azimuth angle or pitch angle. The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can achieve monopulse direction finding on the basis of approximating the noise suppression capability of received signals, and the calculation complexity is about O(NlogN), where N is the number of single-column array elements of the cross antenna array. The embodiments of the present application adopt an N×N cross antenna array, such as Figure 2The method is shown in the figure and is realized in a digital signal processing manner.
[0058] As shown in the figure, the method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: Figure 3
[0059] Step 301, determining a frame length Z of a frame processing of a received echo signal, a snapshot interval S T , and a snapshot number M of a single frame.
[0060] In actual application, a pulse repetition period Q is generally much larger than a pulse width T. That is, if the received echo signal is processed according to the entire pulse repetition period, a calculation amount will be too large. The radar measures a distance by measuring a pulse time delay, and the pulse repetition period corresponds to a maximum unambiguous distance, therefore, the frame length Z can also be measured by the distance. From Figure 4 It can be seen that increasing the processing frame length does not necessarily improve the direction finding precision. Therefore, the processing frame length can be determined by a time length corresponding to a 10-kilometer detection range, that is,
[0061]
[0062] In the formula, c represents a light speed. According to a distance d between adjacent elements and a single array element number N, the snapshot interval S T and the snapshot number M can be determined by the following formula:
[0063] S T =N*d / c
[0064]
[0065] In the formula, floor(·) represents a floor function.
[0066] Step 302, transmitting a pulse signal, receiving an echo signal, and down-converting the echo signal to an intermediate frequency f m . To ensure that a spectrum is not mixed, it is generally required to ensure that
[0067]
[0068] Step 303, performing M times of snapshot sampling on the intermediate frequency signals output by the elements with a snapshot interval S T , to obtain a frame of to-be-processed data, that is, a total time of about (M-1)·S T is required for a frame of data collection. One snapshot data of the N×N cross antenna array is N data in the north-south direction and N data in the east-west direction, that is,
[0069]
[0070] In the formula, s EW,n represents received data of the nth element in the east-west antenna array, sNS,n Let the received data of the nth element in the north-south antenna array be denoted as s
[0071]
[0072] The single-frame processing data in the east-west direction and the north-south direction are obtained by sequentially rearranging the above M pairs of received sequences, respectively:
[0073]
[0074] In the formula, s EWZ , s NSZ are both 1xMN row vectors.
[0075] In step 304, the compensation coefficient K EW , K NS is set according to the search space range. Let α∈(70, 90), β∈(0, 20), then the compensation coefficient K EW , K NS can be set according to Table 1 and Table 2.
[0076] Table 1 Compensation coefficient for east-west data processing
[0077]
[0078]
[0079] Table 2 Compensation coefficient for north-south data processing
[0080] K NS ]]> β∈(0,5] β∈(5,10] β∈(10,15] β∈(15,20] α∈(70,75] 0.3004 0.2981 0.2936 0.2868 α∈(75,80] 0.2162 0.2146 0.2113 0.2064 α∈(80,85] 0.1304 0.1294 0.1274 0.1245 α∈(85,90] 0.0436 0.0432 0.0426 0.0416
[0081] In step 305, FFT is performed on s EWZ , s NSZ respectively, and the positions of the respective amplitude spectrum peaks searched are I EWZ , I NSZ , and then the coefficient is calculated:
[0082]
[0083] The echo incidence angle in the frame is finally estimated as:
[0084]
[0085] In step 306, return to step 303, collect the next frame of data to be processed for estimation, and sequentially frame process until the maximum detection distance (i.e., reach the Zth frame).
[0086] Example 2
[0087] Embodiment 2 of the present application is set as follows to illustrate the specific implementation mode and technical effect of the method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application.
[0088] 1. Determine the frame length Z of the frame processing of the received echo signal, the snapshot interval S T , the number M of snapshots in which the single frame is located.
[0089] Suppose the speed of light is 3×10 8 meters per second, the processing frame length is determined by the time length corresponding to the 10-kilometer detection range, that is
[0090]
[0091] According to the adjacent element spacing d=0.1 and the number N=12 of single-column elements, the snapshot interval S T and the number M of snapshots can be determined as follows:
[0092] S T =4 nanoseconds
[0093] M=16666
[0094] 2. Transmit the pulse signal, receive the target echo, and down-convert the echo signal to the intermediate frequency f m =50 MHz.
[0095] 3. Perform M=16666 snapshot samplings on the intermediate frequency signals output by each element to obtain a frame of data to be processed s EWZ , s NSZ , which are both 1×199992 row vectors.
[0096] 4. According to the search space range α∈(80, 85] and β∈(10, 15], set the compensation coefficients as K EW =0.9679 and K NS =0.1274.
[0097] Perform FFT on s EWZ and s NSZ , search for the positions of the respective amplitude spectrum peaks as I EWZ =3326 and I NSZ =3334, then calculate the coefficients as A EWZ =0.9655 and A NSZ =0.1274, and finally estimate the echo incidence angle in the frame as: The above estimation result is α=82, β=13, and the single estimation result under the signal-to-noise ratio of 10 decibels. Figure 4For alpha=82, beta=13, the root mean square error of 100 simulation results under each signal-to-noise ratio in the range of [-25, 20], it can be seen that the application still has high estimation accuracy at lower signal-to-noise ratio.
