Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-frequency radar azimuth estimation technology, specifically relating to a method and system for measuring the radiation pattern and estimating the direction finding error of a monopole / cross-loop antenna. Background Technology
[0002] High-frequency ground wave radar (HFG) utilizes the characteristic of low attenuation during diffraction propagation of vertically polarized electromagnetic waves over the sea surface, enabling large-scale, all-weather, over-the-horizon, real-time continuous observation of ocean surface dynamic parameters. It is widely used in marine remote sensing and sea surface target detection. Early HFG radars were mostly phased array type, with narrow beams and high azimuth resolution, but they required a large footprint and high maintenance costs. To address these shortcomings, compact HFG radars employ monopole / cross-loop receiving antennas, which have a smaller footprint, lower installation requirements, and are easier to maintain. Furthermore, they achieve higher azimuth measurement accuracy through a multiple signal classification algorithm (MUSIC), making them more popular in the industry. Currently, compact HFG radar systems, such as the SeaSonde system from Codar Corporation in the United States and the OSMAR-S system from Wuhan University, are widely used worldwide.
[0003] In practical applications, the inconsistency of the radar system's own channels and the radiation pattern distortion caused by the surrounding environment can seriously affect the accuracy of azimuth estimation. Currently, the most effective way to solve this problem is to measure the antenna's true distorted radiation pattern to obtain its amplitude and phase responses in different azimuths, and then use this measured radiation pattern to estimate the signal azimuth. Inspired by the above solution, traditional methods use vehicle-mounted, ship-mounted, or manually loaded transponders to move around the antenna to achieve radiation pattern measurement. However, to address the limitation of the transponder's movement trajectory being restricted by the antenna installation environment, Chinese patent CN202010456794.8, entitled "A Linear Frequency Modulation Radar Antenna Radar ...
[0004] As can be seen from the above analysis, in the process of measuring antenna radiation patterns, measurement errors are unavoidable due to the limitations of measurement methods. Most existing studies treat the measured radiation pattern as the true distorted radiation pattern and ignore the impact of measurement errors on the orientation estimation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for measuring the radiation pattern and estimating the direction-finding error of a monopole / cross-loop antenna. The method estimates the true distorted radiation pattern using multiple radiation pattern measurements of the monopole / cross-loop antenna, calculates the measurement error of the radiation pattern, and estimates the direction-finding error based on the measured antenna radiation pattern and its measurement error using a multiple signal classification algorithm.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for measuring the radiation pattern and estimating the direction finding error of a monopole / cross-loop antenna, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Obtain multiple measurement results of the radar antenna pattern in the actual environment, and calculate the average value of the multiple measured results as the true distorted antenna pattern.
[0008] Step 2: Calculate the difference between the measured antenna pattern and the actual distorted antenna pattern of the two-loop channel in a certain measurement to obtain the measurement error of the antenna pattern of the two-loop channel in a certain measurement.
[0009] Step 3: Generate radar received echo signals based on the actual distorted radiation pattern. Using a measured radiation pattern, estimate the azimuth angle of the received echo signals in any direction using a multi-signal classification algorithm.
[0010] Step 4: Calculate the difference between the azimuth angle estimation result of any azimuth echo signal described in Step 3 and the true azimuth angle to obtain the magnitude of the azimuth angle estimation error.
[0011] Furthermore, the multiple measurement results of the monopole / cross-loop antenna pattern in the actual environment in step 1 are defined as follows:
[0012] a di (θ)=[1,g 2i (θ)cos(θ+π / 4),g 3i (θ)sin(θ+π / 4)], i=1,2,3,...,N(1)
[0013] In the formula, a di (θ) represents the measured antenna pattern obtained from the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle, and g 2i (θ) is the distortion factor of the cosine ring in the i-th measurement, i.e., the amplitude and phase difference of the cosine ring channel relative to the first antenna channel, g 3i (θ) is the distortion factor of the sin ring in the i-th measurement, that is, the amplitude and phase difference of the sin ring channel relative to the first antenna channel, π is pi, and N is the total number of antenna pattern measurements.

[0017] Furthermore, in step 2, the true distortion pattern of the two-ring channel, as defined in step 1, is a. rB (θ) and a rA (θ), calculate the difference a between the measured antenna pattern and the actual distorted antenna pattern of the two-loop channel in a certain test. r (θ)-a di If (θ), then the measurement error of the two-ring channel pattern in a certain measurement can be calculated by the following formula:
[0018] g 2i (θ)cos(θ+π / 4)-a rB (θ)=e 2i (θ)g 2i (θ)cos(θ+π / 4) (3)
[0019] g 3i (θ)sin(θ+π / 4)-a rA (θ)=e 3i (θ)g 3i (θ)sin(θ+π / 4) (4)
[0020] In the formula, g 2i (θ) is the distortion factor of the cosine ring in the i-th measurement, g 3i (θ) is the distortion factor of the sin ring in the i-th measurement, e 2i (θ) is the measurement error coefficient of the cosine ring channel pattern in the i-th measurement, e 3i (θ) is the measurement error coefficient of the sin ring channel pattern in the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle and π is pi. The right side of the equation is the measurement error of the two ring channel patterns in a certain measurement.
[0021] Furthermore, the specific calculation method for generating the radar's received echo signal from the true distorted radiation pattern in step 3 is as follows:
[0022] X(t)=a r (θ0)S(t)+N(t) (5)
[0023] In the formula, X(t)=[x C (t),x B (t),x A (t)] H x C (t), x B(t), x A (t) represent the echo signals received by the monopole C, ring B, and ring A channels, respectively, where θ0 is the true incident azimuth of the signal, and a r (θ0) is the expression for the true distorted radiation pattern at the θ0 azimuth obtained in step 1, S(t) is the single angle-of-arrival incident signal at the θ0 azimuth, and N(t) = [n C (t),n B (t),n A (t)] H For the noise of each antenna channel, [] H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0024] The covariance matrix of the received echo signal X(t) from the radar is calculated as follows:
[0025]
[0026] In the formula, Let X be the covariance matrix, X = [X(1), X(2), ... X(j), ..., X(L)], and let X(j) be the received signal matrix of the antenna array, X(j) = [x C (j),x B (j),x A (j)] H ,j=1,2,...,L is the sampling time sequence number, T is the sampling time interval, corresponding to time t=jT, L is the number of snapshots of the echo signal, [ ] H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0027] For covariance matrix Eigenvalue decomposition yields:
[0028]

Σ is the noise subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the small eigenvalues. N Let be a diagonal matrix composed of small eigenvalues, [ ] H This represents the conjugate transpose operation. Under single-source conditions, all eigenvalues except the largest eigenvalue are small eigenvalues.
[0030] The expression for the MUSIC spectrum is defined as follows:
[0031]
[0032] In the formula, P represents the MUSIC spectrum, a di(θ) represents the measured antenna pattern obtained from the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle and I is the identity matrix. Let [ ] be the signal subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalue. H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0033] The angle corresponding to the maximum value of the peak in the MUSIC spectrum is the estimated azimuth angle.
[0034]

Let [ ] be the signal subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalue. H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0036] Furthermore, the azimuth estimation error in step 4 is the direction finding error, and its calculation method is as follows:

[0052] This invention provides a method and system for measuring the radiation pattern and estimating the direction finding error of a monopole / cross-loop antenna. The technical solution of this invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0053] Example 1
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for measuring the radiation pattern and estimating the direction finding error of a monopole / cross-loop antenna, comprising the following steps:
[0055] Step 1: Obtain multiple measurement results of the radar antenna radiation pattern in the actual environment, and calculate the average value of the multiple measured radiation pattern results as the true distorted antenna radiation pattern.
[0056] In a real-world environment, the results of multiple measurements of the radiation pattern of a monopole / cross-loop antenna are defined as follows:
[0057] a di(θ)=[1,g 2i (θ)cos(θ+π / 4),g 3i (θ)sin(θ+π / 4)], i=1,2,3,...,N (1)
[0058] In the formula, a di (θ) represents the measured antenna pattern obtained from the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle, and g 2i (θ) is the distortion factor of the cosine ring in the i-th measurement, i.e., the amplitude and phase difference of the cosine ring channel relative to the first antenna channel, g 3i (θ) is the distortion factor of the sin ring in the i-th measurement, that is, the amplitude and phase difference of the sin ring channel relative to the first antenna channel, π is pi, and N is the total number of antenna pattern measurements. In this embodiment, N = 2.
[0059] The true distortion pattern of a monopole / cross-loop antenna is calculated using the following formula:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula, a r (θ) represents the true distorted antenna pattern, a di (θ) represents the measured antenna pattern obtained from the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle and N is the total number of antenna pattern measurements. In this embodiment, N = 2.
[0062] Step 2: Calculate the difference between the measured antenna pattern and the actual distorted antenna pattern of the two-loop channel in a certain measurement to obtain the measurement error of the antenna pattern of the two-loop channel in a certain measurement.
[0063] Based on the definition in step 1, the true distortion pattern of the two-ring channel is obtained as a. rB (θ) and a rA (θ), calculate the difference a between the measured antenna pattern and the actual distorted antenna pattern of the two-loop channel in a certain test. r (θ)-a di If (θ), then the measurement error of the two-ring channel pattern in a certain measurement can be calculated by the following formula:
[0064] g 2i (θ)cos(θ+π / 4)-a rB (θ)=e 2i (θ)g 2i (θ)cos(θ+π / 4) (3)
[0065] g 3i (θ)sin(θ+π / 4)-a rA (θ)=e 3i (θ)g 3i (θ)sin(θ+π / 4) (4)
[0066] In the formula, g 2i (θ) is the distortion factor of the cosine ring in the i-th measurement, g 3i (θ) is the distortion factor of the sin ring in the i-th measurement, e 2i (θ) is the measurement error coefficient of the cosine ring channel pattern in the i-th measurement, e 3i (θ) is the measurement error coefficient of the sin ring channel pattern in the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle and π is pi. The right side of the equation is the measurement error of the two ring channel patterns in a certain measurement.
[0067] As mentioned above, based on the mathematical theory of "taking the average of multiple measurements as the true value", the actual true distortion pattern can be obtained from multiple measurements by any pattern measurement method. The difference between the true distortion pattern and the measured pattern is the magnitude of the measurement error. Knowing the true distortion pattern and the measured pattern, the MUSIC algorithm can be used to estimate the azimuth angle, and then the magnitude of the direction finding error can be calculated based on the measurement error.
[0068] Step 3: Generate radar received echo signals based on the actual distorted radiation pattern. Using a measured radiation pattern, estimate the azimuth angle of the received echo signals in any direction using a multi-signal classification algorithm.
[0069] The radar's received echo signal is generated from the true distorted radiation pattern, and the specific calculation method is as follows:
[0070] X(t)=a r (θ0)S(t)+N(t) (5)
[0071] In the formula, X(t)=[x C (t),x B (t),x A (t)] H x C (t), x B (t), x A (t) represent the echo signals received by the monopole C, ring B, and ring A channels, respectively, where θ0 is the true incident azimuth of the signal, and a r (θ0) is the expression for the true distorted azimuth pattern (guidance vector) at the θ0 azimuth obtained in step 1, S(t) is the single angle-of-arrival incident signal at the θ0 azimuth, and N(t) = [n C (t),n B (t),n A (t)] H For the noise of each antenna channel, [] H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0072] The covariance matrix of the received echo signal X(t) from the radar is calculated as follows:
[0073]
[0074] In the formula, Let X be the covariance matrix, X = [X(1), X(2), ... X(j), ..., X(L)], and let X(j) be the received signal matrix of the antenna array, X(j) = [x C (j),x B (j),x A (j)] H j = 1, 2, ..., L is the sampling time sequence number, T is the sampling time interval, corresponding to time t = jT, and L is the number of snapshots of the echo signal. In this embodiment, L = 300. H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0075] For covariance matrix Eigenvalue decomposition yields:
[0076]
[0077] In the formula, Σ is the signal subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalue. S It is a diagonal matrix composed of the largest eigenvalues. Σ is the noise subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the small eigenvalues. N Let be a diagonal matrix composed of small eigenvalues, [ ] H This represents the conjugate transpose operation. Under single-source conditions, all eigenvalues except the largest eigenvalue are small eigenvalues.
[0078] The expression for the MUSIC spectrum is defined as follows:
[0079]
[0080] In the formula, P represents the MUSIC spectrum, a di (θ) represents the measured antenna pattern obtained from the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle and I is the identity matrix. Let [ ] be the signal subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalue. H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0081] The angle corresponding to the maximum value of the peak in the MUSIC spectrum is the estimated azimuth angle.
[0082]
[0083] In the formula, a di(θ) represents the measured antenna pattern (guiding vector) obtained from the i-th measurement, where θ is the azimuth angle and I is the identity matrix. Let [ ] be the signal subspace spanned by the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalue. H This indicates the conjugate transpose operation.
[0084] Step 4: Calculate the difference between the azimuth angle estimation result of any azimuth echo signal described in Step 3 and the true azimuth angle to obtain the magnitude of the azimuth angle estimation error.
[0085] The azimuth estimation error is the same as the direction finding error, and its calculation method is as follows:
[0086]
[0087] In the formula, θ0 is the estimated azimuth angle of the signal obtained in step 3, where θ0 is the true incident azimuth of the signal.
[0088] Figure 2(a) and Figure 2(b) show the results of two measurements of the antenna pattern of a radar station provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The true distorted antenna pattern obtained using the method proposed in this invention is obtained by averaging the measurement results of Figure 2(a) and Figure 2(b). Figure 4 The measurement error coefficient of a measured radiation pattern obtained using the method proposed in this invention is concentrated between -0.1 and 0.1, with a small number of azimuths approaching ±0.3, indicating that the overall measurement accuracy of the radiation pattern is high and the measurement error is not significant. Figure 5 and Figure 6 This paper presents the estimation (direction finding) errors and their distribution in different azimuths. The distortion factors of the two-ring antenna differ in different azimuths, resulting in varying measurement errors. The impact of these measurement errors on angle estimation varies. When the distortion factor is very small, even a small measurement error can significantly affect angle estimation; conversely, when the distortion factor is large, only a sufficiently large measurement error will have a significant impact. If an angle estimation error of less than 10 degrees is defined as good, this probability is 67.22% in this embodiment. This indicates that the direction finding error is small in most azimuths, but larger in a few azimuths due to the greater influence of measurement errors.
