Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of radar, and further relates to a bistatic radar clutter spectrum generation method based on bistatic in-plane and out-of-plane scattering coefficients in the technical field of radar signal processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bistatic radar system is transceiver-separated and the receiver is passive, and has the advantages of wide coverage, anti-stealth and anti-interference, and has great application potential in the future. At present, a large number of projects have completed the implementation of the monostatic clutter spectrum, but for the bistatic radar, due to the complexity of the scattering characteristics, the bistatic clutter spectrum is difficult to obtain a complete bistatic clutter scattering model in engineering application, and the reason is that the bistatic radar has a more complex geometric structure than the monostatic radar, and the scattering coefficient is related to the geometric structure.

[0003] A method for inverting the undirected sea wave spectrum from the ocean echo of a bistatic high-frequency ground wave radar is disclosed in the patent document "A method for inverting the undirected sea wave spectrum from the ocean echo of a bistatic high-frequency ground wave radar" (application number: 202111053482.3, application date: 2021.09.09, application publication number: CN 113900096 A) applied by Wuhan University. The implementation steps of the method are: first step: processing the original echo data of the narrow-beam bistatic high-frequency ground wave radar to obtain discretized echo Doppler spectrum data; second step: constructing a ratio column vector and an ocean scattering coefficient matrix from the discretized echo Doppler spectrum data; third step: calculating the pseudo-inverse matrix of the ocean scattering coefficient by singular value decomposition, and performing matrix multiplication operation on the obtained pseudo-inverse matrix of the ocean scattering coefficient and the ratio column vector to obtain the discretized undirected sea wave spectrum. The deficiency of the method is that the particularity of the bistatic out-of-plane scattering is ignored at the scattering angle corresponding to the radar range element, and it is assumed that all distance elements corresponding to the bistatic are located in the same plane. Since the method only considers the special case of in-plane scattering corresponding to the in-plane angle, the generated clutter spectrum has deviation compared with the true situation.

[0004] A full polarization bistatic radar target dynamic echo simulation method is disclosed in the patent document "A full polarization bistatic radar target dynamic echo simulation method" (application number: 201611129997.6, application publication number: CN 106772290 A) applied by the University of Defense Science and Technology of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The implementation steps of the method are: first, establish a target coordinate system, a transmitting station rectangular coordinate system, a receiving station rectangular coordinate system, and a polarization coordinate system, then solve the observation angle pitch angle and azimuth angle of the transmitting station and the receiving station in the target coordinate system through the transmitting station position, the receiving station position, and the target position and attitude, then solve the rotation angle of the transmitting station and the receiving station polarization relative to the target coordinate system polarization by using the target attitude, the transmitting station and the receiving station position, and the line of sight angle, and finally, first, obtain the scattering matrix in the target coordinate system by looking up the table and interpolating the observation angle, and then obtain the dynamic echo of the bistatic receiving station by coordinate rotation through the polarization rotation angle. The deficiency of the method is that for a non-satellite-borne bistatic radar system, the change of the coordinate system position caused by the small range of the range unit is very small, and the change of the position relationship between the clutter unit and the transmitting and receiving platform in a small range will cause a large error in the generation of the clutter spectrum. Moreover, the method obtains the relative scattering coefficient of the bistatic receiving station through the conversion between the target coordinate system, the transmitting station rectangular coordinate system, the receiving station rectangular coordinate system, and the polarization coordinate system, greatly increasing the calculation complexity and being not conducive to meeting the real-time requirements in engineering implementation. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a bistatic radar clutter spectrum generation method based on bistatic in-plane and out-of-plane scattering coefficients, which solves the problems of ignoring the particularity of bistatic out-of-plane scattering in bistatic radar echo engineering, high calculation complexity, and inability to meet the real-time requirements of signal processing.

[0006] The idea for achieving the purpose of the present application is that the present application can calculate the in-plane clutter scattering coefficient of the selected clutter unit before correction and the corresponding out-of-plane angle without complex coordinate conversion. By using a quadratic function to simulate the out-of-plane scattering coefficient model through the interpolation method, the in-plane scattering model is corrected. The echo scattering coefficient model obtained by only considering in-plane scattering in this special case deviates from the real application scenario, and the total clutter scattering coefficient in the real application scenario of the bistatic radar is obtained, reducing the scattering coefficient error caused by the out-of-plane angle of the bistatic radar. The in-plane scattering coefficient in the present application faces multiple types of clutter and fully considers the two types of clutter, i.e., ground clutter and sea clutter. In the process of generating the clutter spectrum, multiple selectable clutter simulation models are provided for different clutter types and conditions, reducing the scattering coefficient error caused by not setting different clutter models for different clutter types in the engineering implementation process.

[0007] The technical scheme for achieving the object of the application comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1, dividing a clutter cell in a bistatic radar space;

[0009] Step 2, selecting an unselected clutter cell, and calculating the transmission station and receiving station ground angles of the selected clutter cell relative to the transmission platform and the receiving platform respectively;

[0010] Step 3, calculating an equivalent ground angle;

[0011] Step 4, calculating an in-plane clutter scattering coefficient before correction;

[0012] Step 5, correcting an in-plane scattering model by using the calculated out-of-plane angle of the selected clutter cell, to obtain a clutter scattering coefficient in an out-of-plane scattering condition;

[0013] Step 6, calculating a space-time two-dimensional steering vector and a clutter cell echo amplitude respectively, and generating a clutter echo spectrum by using all the echo amplitudes obtained by repeating steps 2-5.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages:

[0015] First, the application corrects the echo scattering coefficient model obtained by only considering the in-plane scattering in a special condition, which deviates from the actual application scenario, reduces the scattering coefficient error caused by the out-of-plane angle of the bistatic radar, and the corrected in-plane scattering model expression obtained by the application is simple and clear, without the need for complex coordinate conversion to calculate the in-plane clutter scattering coefficient before correction, and the calculation complexity is low.

[0016] Second, the in-plane scattering coefficient in the application faces multiple types of clutter, fully considers the two types of clutter, i.e., ground clutter and sea clutter, and provides multiple selectable clutter simulation models for different clutter types and conditions in the process of generating the clutter spectrum, thereby reducing the scattering coefficient error caused by not setting different clutter models for different clutter types in the engineering implementation process.

[0021] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 The specific implementation steps of the embodiments of the application are further described.

[0023] Step 1, divide the clutter unit in the bistatic radar space.

[0024] Step 1.1, establish a coordinate system O-XYZ, with the center of the earth as the origin, the Y axis as the position where the 0° meridian points from the origin, the X axis perpendicular to the Y axis, the XOY plane as the equatorial plane, and the Z axis as the vector pointing to the sky through the origin and perpendicular to the XOY plane.

[0025] Place the transmitting platform and the receiving platform in the same coordinate system to facilitate subsequent vector calculation and angle solving.

[0026] Step 1.2, divide the clutter equidistance unit ring.

[0027] For a bistatic radar, the echoes of all clutter scattering units on the equidistance ring are superimposed to form the distance gate echo signal. All clutter units of the distance gate are located on the long-axis rotating ellipsoid with the transmitting platform and the receiving platform as the foci, and at the same time, the clutter units are also located on the earth's spherical surface, so the intersection line of the ellipsoid and the spherical surface is the clutter equidistance ring. The ellipsoid equation and the earth's spherical surface equation are combined:

[0028]

[0029] where x o , y o , z o represent the coordinate values of the equidistance unit ring corresponding to the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis in the O-XYZ coordinate system respectively, a and b represent the ellipsoid half-long axis and the ellipsoid half-short axis of the ellipsoid formed with the receiving platform and the transmitting platform as the foci respectively, R s represents the range sum of the bistatic radar, L represents the baseline distance of the bistatic radar, and R e represents the earth's radius.

[0030] Step 1.3, divide each clutter equidistance ring into individual clutter units with an interval of 1 m to obtain the position coordinates of each clutter unit.

[0031] Divide the clutter equidistance ring into individual clutter units with the same interval to ensure that the areas of the individual clutter units are consistent, obtain the position coordinates of each clutter unit, and facilitate vector calculation in the subsequent steps.

[0032] Step 2, randomly select one unselected scatterer, calculate the incidence and exit grazing angles of the selected scatterer relative to the transmitting and receiving platforms.

[0033] Step 2.1, calculate the direction vector of each scatterer to the receiving or transmitting platform.

[0034] Determine the vector expression of the selected scatterer relative to the transmitting and receiving platforms through the position coordinates of the selected scatterer:

[0037] Step 2.2, calculate the incidence and exit grazing angles of each scatterer relative to the transmitting and receiving platforms.

[0038] Calculate the grazing angle formed by the direction vector of the selected scatterer and the receiving or transmitting platform on the ground according to the vector angle formula:

[0039]

[0040] wherein, ψ c,NaH represents the grazing angle formed by the direction vector of the cthscatterer and the receiving or transmitting platform on the ground, represents the unit vector of the X-axis.

[0041] Step 3, calculate the equivalent grazing angle.

[0042] In the area where the grazing angle is small, the arithmetic mean of the incidence and exit grazing angles is generally used to replace the grazing angle in the single-base scattering coefficient model, and in other areas, the geometric mean of the sine values of the incidence and exit grazing angles is generally used to replace the sine value of the grazing angle in the single-base scattering coefficient model according to the modified single-dual base equivalent principle, and the equivalent grazing angle is calculated according to the following formula:

[0045] Step 4, calculate the in-plane clutter scattering coefficient before correction.

[0046] The in-plane clutter scattering coefficient is calculated according to different models of different types of clutter.

[0047] When the clutter type is ground clutter, the in-plane angular scattering coefficient of each clutter cell is calculated according to the Morchin model as follows.
