[0035] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, the elements defined by the phrase "comprising..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising the elements.

[0037] Passive positioning is used to refer to a positioning technology means that during the positioning process, the positioning system itself does not emit any signals, and only relies on receiving the signals radiated or reflected by the target to determine the target's position.

[0038] Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) is an important communication technology used in satellite communications. It belongs to the spread spectrum communication system. It uses a pseudo-random sequence to continuously change the carrier frequency to expand the signal bandwidth and achieve the purpose of spread spectrum.

[0039] Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a communication technology that uses time slots to allow multiple users to share a common transmission medium, thus achieving channel resource sharing.

[0040] Frequency-hopping time-division multiple access (FDMA) signals are widely used in electronic communications. However, existing single-station passive location methods primarily process fixed-frequency signals and are unsuitable for the rapidly changing frequency of FDMA signals. Furthermore, existing methods typically require multiple measurements from a moving base station, resulting in poor algorithmic timeliness and inability to achieve real-time location estimation for signals from a single station.

[0041] Currently, there are three main single-station passive positioning methods that have been made public. The first is a single-station passive positioning method based on a single baseline interferometer method. This method uses an interferometer to measure the angle of the target and uses the phase change of the received signal to estimate the distance to the target. The second is a single-station direct positioning method based on a single moving array. This method places the moving observation station at different observation positions at different times and uses the target signal arrival angles measured at different positions to cross-estimate the target position parameters. The third is a direct positioning method based on subspace data fusion. This method uses a single moving array to intercept the target radiation signal at different spatial positions to calculate the signal subspace and noise subspace, then performs subspace mapping on all possible target points in the effective area, and finally traverses to search for the target position.

[0042] It should be understood that existing single-baseline interferometer single-station positioning methods are affected by the observation angle. When the pitch angle between the reconnaissance station and the radiation source is large, the single-baseline model's direction-finding error is large, and positioning performance is severely degraded. Single-station direct positioning methods using a single moving array and direct positioning methods based on subspace data fusion require the reconnaissance station to perform measurements at different locations. These methods are limited by geographic location and movement speed, making them inefficient. Furthermore, existing single-station positioning algorithms are only applicable to fixed-frequency signals; pseudo-random frequency-hopping signals have not been studied.

[0043] In order to solve the problems of the related art, the embodiments of the present application provide a single-station passive positioning method and device for a frequency-hopping time-division multiple access signal radiation source.

[0044] The single-station passive positioning method for a frequency-hopping time-division multiple access signal radiation source provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0045] Figure 1The flowchart of the single-station passive positioning method 100 for a FH-TDMA signal radiator according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. It should be noted that the single-station passive positioning method for a FH-TDMA signal radiator according to an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a single fixed station.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the single-station passive positioning method 100 for a frequency-hopping time-division multiple access signal radiation source may specifically include the following steps:

[0047] S101. Receive a radiation signal from a target radiation source in frequency bands according to a plurality of pre-divided frequency bands, wherein the radiation signal is a frequency-hopping time-division multiple access signal, and the plurality of frequency bands are divided according to a frequency hopping range of the radiation signal;

[0048] S102, performing broadband filtering and narrowband mixing filtering in parallel on radiation signals corresponding to respective frequency bands to obtain a plurality of narrowband filtered data;

[0049] S103, performing threshold detection on the narrowband filtered data to obtain the arrival time of each pulse, and sorting the arrival times according to the order of arrival time to obtain a number of sorted candidate time points;

[0050] S104, dividing the trajectory into segments according to the target motion characteristics to obtain a number of uniform speed straight line segments;

[0051] S105. For each uniform speed straight line segment, determine as an observation value the radiation signal corresponding to each candidate moment from a first moment corresponding to a first preset value before the preset moment to a second moment corresponding to a second preset value among the candidate moments;

[0052] S106. Calculate the distance information between the target radiation source and the target radiation source at the corresponding target time according to the arrival time difference between any two adjacent observation values;

[0053] S107 , calculating the position information of the target radiation source according to the distance information from the target radiation source at the target moment and the angle information of the target radiation source obtained by adjacent beam amplitude ratio measurement.

[0054] Thus, a two-stage filtering approach, combining broadband filtering and narrowband mixing filtering, achieves control filtering for each frequency point. The trajectory is segmented according to the target's motion characteristics, and the arrival time difference of adjacent time slot signals is used to estimate the distance to the target emitter. Combined with the direction-finding results of single-station beamforming, the target emitter's precise location is obtained, enabling broadband control detection and reception, with higher positioning accuracy and improved timeliness. Furthermore, since reconnaissance processing of frequency-hopping TDMA signals can be performed using a single station, system hardware resources can be conserved. Eliminating the need for iterative target position calculations reduces computational complexity and computational complexity.

[0055] The specific implementation methods of the above steps are introduced below.

[0056] In some embodiments, in S101, in order to achieve full probability reception of broadband frequency hopping TDMA signals, the frequency hopping range of the frequency hopping signal [f L ,f H ] is divided into K sub-bands, and the frequency width of each sub-band is B=(f H -f L ) / K. Furthermore, the radiated signal can be received in frequency bands by the antenna, so that the signals of each sub-band (ie, each frequency band) can be processed in parallel subsequently.

[0057] In some embodiments, the specific implementation method of S102 may include performing the following steps in parallel for the radiation signals corresponding to several frequency bands: performing RF direct sampling on the radiation signal to obtain a sampled signal; performing digital down-conversion and broadband filtering extraction on the sampled signal according to the frequency band to obtain a broadband filtered signal; and performing mixing processing, extraction and low-pass filtering on the broadband filtered signal according to the local oscillator signals corresponding to several frequency points to obtain several narrowband filtered data, wherein the center frequency of the local oscillator signal is the frequency of the corresponding frequency point controlled by the frequency point.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 2 shows a schematic flow chart of broadband filtering processing, Figure 3 The figure shows a flow chart of narrowband mixing and filtering process.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in the broadband filtering process, after the radiation signal of the target radiation source is received by the antenna in frequency bands, that is, after the corresponding radiation signals are received in each frequency band from band 1 to band K, the RF signal of each frequency band is directly sampled through the back-end, and the sampled signal is digitally down-converted and broadband filtered according to the sub-band to reduce the data rate to a processable range.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in the narrowband mixing and filtering process, the frequencies of the M frequency points of the known frequency hopping TDMA signal [f1, f2, ..., f M ] as the center frequency of the local oscillator signal, the signal extracted by broadband filtering is mixed; then, to further reduce the data rate, the mixed data is decimated and low-pass filtered. Taking frequency band K as an example, the signal extracted by broadband filtering is mixed with local oscillator signals 1 to M corresponding to each of its M frequency points. After decimation and low-pass filtering, M narrowband data are output.

[0061] In this way, through the above two-stage filtering structure, guard filtering of each frequency point can be achieved, thereby separating the full-band data to obtain filtering results corresponding to several frequency-hopping frequencies, which are narrowband data.

[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments, in S103, M narrowband filtered data are read and threshold detection is performed on each of them to measure the arrival time of each pulse, and the measurement results are rearranged according to the order of arrival time. In this way, several candidate time points T1<T2<T3<…<T can be obtained after sorting. k <….

[0063] refer to Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of the principle of dividing the target motion trajectory in S104. Figure 4 As shown, according to the target motion characteristics, such as target speed and direction, its motion trajectory is divided into several uniform speed straight line segments, so that the subsequent steps can be performed separately in each uniform speed straight line segment.

[0064] In some embodiments, in S105, for each uniform straight line segment, the radiation signal corresponding to each of the candidate moments from the first moment corresponding to the first preset value before the preset moment to the second moment corresponding to the second preset value among the candidate moments is determined as the observation value, where the preset moment may be the current moment. That is, after rearrangement, within each uniform straight line segment, the first preset value N and the second preset value M may be selected based on application experience, where N and M are positive integers. Thus, the target point is at N positions T before the kth moment. k-1 、T k-2 ,…,T k-N and the next M positions T k+1 、T k+2 ,…,T k+N The radiation source signal sent is the observation value.

[0065] Next, the arrival time difference Tr between any two adjacent observations can be calculated according to the following formula (1): ki , that is, the reconnaissance station receives T k+i With T k The arrival time difference at:

[0066] Tr ki =t k+i -t k ; (1)

[0067] Among them, t k+i Indicates that the radiation signal is at T k+i The signal arrival time at t k Indicates that the radiation signal is at T kThe signal arrival time at , i∈[-N,M] and i is a positive integer, N is a first preset value, M is a second preset value, that is, i=-N,-N+1,…,-2,-1,1,2,…,M-1,M.

[0068] As an optional embodiment, S106 can be implemented through the following steps: calculating the corresponding transmission time interval based on the time slot characteristics of the radiation signal and the arrival time difference; constructing a matrix corresponding to all observation values ​​based on the transmission time interval; when the matrix is ​​full rank, calculating the distance information between the target radiation source and the radiation speed information of the target radiation source at the corresponding target time.

[0069] In specific implementation, the corresponding transmission time interval is calculated according to the following formula (2):

[0070]

[0071] in, Indicates that the target is at T k+i The time slot sent is the same as T k The transmission time interval of the time slot; Tr ki represents the arrival time difference; T s represents the time of a single time slot; the symbol round(·) represents the rounding function.

[0072] In specific implementation, the matrix corresponding to all observations (i.e., N+M observations) includes:

[0073]

[0074] Specifically, Figure 5 Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the target distance and speed estimation principle. Figure 5 As shown, when the matrix A is full rank, the distance information between the target radiation source and the target radiation source at the corresponding target time K and the radiation speed information of the target radiation source can be calculated according to the following formula (3):

[0075] X=α -1 b=(A T A) -1 A T B; (3)

[0076] in, r k At the target time T k The distance between the target radiation source and the target radiation source, v k For T k Radiation velocity at time, u=v kx x k +v ky y k +vkz z k ,(x k ,y k ,z k ) are the coordinates in the x, y, and z directions, (v kx , v ky , v kz ) is the radiation velocity in the x, y, and z directions.

[0077] Furthermore, in some optional embodiments, the spatial observation area [-45°, 45°] can be divided into N beams, the width of the jth beam is Δθ=90° / (N-1), and the beam pointing is θ j =-45°+(j-1)·Δθ. The target angle θ is obtained by comparing the relative magnitudes of the envelope amplitudes of the output signals of adjacent beams. k In this way, the angle information of the target radiation source can be obtained by measuring the amplitude ratio of adjacent beams.

[0078] Therefore, in S107, the target distance r k and target angle Θ k , the position coordinates of the target radiation source can be calculated according to the following formula (4):

[0079] x k =r k ·cos(Θ k ), y k =r k ·sin(Θ k ); (4)

[0080] Where cos(·) represents the sign of the cosine function, and sin(·) represents the sign of the sine function.

In some cases, the actions or steps recited in the claims may be performed in an order different from that described in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired results. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or sequential order shown to achieve the desired results. In certain embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.

[0094] Among them, t k+i Indicates that the radiation signal is at T k+i The signal arrival time at t k Indicates that the radiation signal is at T k The signal arrival time at , i∈[-N,M] and i is a positive integer, N is a first preset value, and M is a second preset value.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first calculation module 606 is specifically used to calculate the corresponding transmission time interval based on the time slot characteristics of the radiation signal and the arrival time difference; construct a matrix corresponding to all observation values ​​based on the transmission time interval; and when the matrix is ​​full rank, calculate the distance information between the target radiation source and the radiation speed information of the target radiation source at the corresponding target time.
