Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electromagnetic scattering measurement, and in particular to a radar scattering cross section measurement system and a measurement method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electronic information technology, the stealth technology of radar targets has gradually matured, posing new challenges to the accuracy of radar detection and recognition. At present, most radio frequency radars are based on plane electromagnetic waves, and use the frequency, polarization, amplitude and phase information modulation in the collected echo parameters to detect targets. The principle is mainly based on plane wave approximation. Most traditional methods improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the algorithm or use a multi-base station radar system that provides high power and multiple frequencies. However, when detecting weak radar cross section (RCS) targets, the improvement of its detection performance has reached its limit. It is an effective way to improve the ability to obtain information about weak scattering targets by introducing new electromagnetic waves. Vortex electromagnetic waves are different from traditional plane waves. They have a spiral phase wavefront structure. They carry orbital angular momentum characteristics and can form multi-modal waves at the same frequency, providing richer target information representation capabilities than plane waves. Multi-modal vortex electromagnetic waves can provide more degrees of freedom to control the shape and direction of the radar beam, thereby achieving high-resolution imaging. By synthesizing and processing vortex electromagnetic waves of different modes, more detailed image information of the target can be obtained, and the resolution and clarity of the imaging can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] 1. Explanatory Examples In order to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand how to implement the present invention, this section provides an illustrative example that expands and describes the technical solution of the claims.

[0022] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a radar cross section measurement system of the present invention. Figure 1 A radar cross section measurement system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is introduced in detail, including a signal source, a transmitting antenna 2, a receiving antenna 3, a spiral phase plate turntable 4, a spiral phase plate 5, a rotating component and a controller 12.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3 are ultra-wideband horn antennas, and their structures are formed by gradually unfolding a rectangular waveguide. In the present invention, two horn antennas with the same characteristics are used, one of which radiates the signal generated by the vector network analyzer 1, irradiates the target 9 after passing through the spiral phase plate 5, and the other antenna receives the reflected signal of the target 9. The controller 12 is a main control computer.

[0024] The signal source is a vector network analyzer 1, which is electrically connected to the transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3 through a coaxial cable. The vector network analyzer 1 is electrically connected to the controller 12 through a communication cable 13. The driving motor 7 is connected to the controller 12 through the communication cable 13, and the speed of the driving motor 7 is controlled by the controller 12. The driving motor 7 is connected to the central rotating shaft wheel of the spiral phase plate rotating disk 4 through a belt 6 to realize the driving of the spiral phase plate rotating disk 4.

[0025] The vector network analyzer 1 selects parameters such as the frequency band, frequency step and transmission power of the transmitted microwave signal according to the test requirements. Generally, the frequency setting is selected from 2GHz to 18GHz. The vector network analyzer 1 is used as a scattering measurement instrument to output a stepped frequency broadband test signal and transmit it to the transmitting antenna 2. The front end of the transmitting antenna 2 is covered with a spiral phase plate 5 to modulate and generate a vortex electromagnetic wave. The vortex electromagnetic wave is used to illuminate the target 9. The receiving antenna 3 receives the backscattered signal (i.e., the near-field echo signal) from the target 9 and transmits it to the vector network analyzer 1 through a coaxial cable. The vector network analyzer 1 analyzes and processes the near-field echo signal, and feeds the processing result back to the controller 12 to output the measurement result.

[0026] In order to generate multi-mode vortex electromagnetic waves, spiral phase plates 5 of different modes are arranged on the aperture of the transmitting antenna 2. The spiral phase plate 5 adds a rotational phase factor to the electromagnetic waves generated by the transmitting antenna 2 to generate orbital angular momentum (OAM) electromagnetic waves, namely vortex electromagnetic waves.

[0027] The spiral phase plate 5 is used to modulate the stepped frequency broadband test signal emitted by the transmitting antenna 2 to generate vortex electromagnetic waves. The spiral phase plate 5 is distributed in a spiral shape. The present invention adopts a gradient spiral phase plate, and the phase change is continuous. The structural parameters and operating frequency of the spiral phase plate 5 are related to the mode of the vortex electromagnetic wave to efficiently generate vortex electromagnetic waves.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 , a continuous spiral phase plate is used in system construction and experimental measurement, for example, a spiral phase plate 5 that generates a vortex electromagnetic wave of mode 1, whose height is proportional to the rotation of the azimuth angle, and the azimuth angle rotates from 0 to 2 The height of the spiral phase plate 5 is increasing, and a step covers the entire surface 360 ​​degrees. When the height reaches the given size height.

[0029] The spiral phase plate turntable 4 is used to fix the spiral phase plate 5. A plurality of mounting positions are evenly distributed on the spiral phase plate turntable 4, and each mounting position is used to mount a spiral phase plate 5 of a different mode. The spiral phase plate turntable 4 is connected to the drive motor 7 through a high-precision rotating shaft wheel. The drive motor can accurately control the rotation angle of the spiral phase plate turntable 4, so as to realize fast and accurate switching of different spiral phase plates 5 to align with the transmitting antenna 2.

[0030] Furthermore, a positioning device, such as an electromagnet, can be provided at the connection between the spiral phase plate disk 4 and the transmitting antenna 2 to ensure that the spiral phase plate 5 is accurately docked and fixed to the transmitting antenna 2 to ensure the transmission efficiency and stability of the vortex electromagnetic wave.

[0031] The spiral phase plate rotating disk 4 is inlaid with spiral phase plates 5 with different mode numbers to generate different mode numbers. l The arrangement of the spiral phase plate 5 on the spiral phase plate rotating disk 4 needs to ensure that it is vertical in the vertical direction and aligned with the rectangular opening surface of the transmitting antenna 2.

[0032] The central rotating shaft wheel of the spiral phase plate turntable 4 is connected to the driving motor 7 through a belt 6, and the driving motor 7 is connected to the controller 12 through a communication cable 13. The controller 12 controls the rotational angular velocity and rotation angle of the driving motor 7 by sending instructions to achieve that the various types of spiral phase plates 5 on the spiral phase plate turntable 4 can be aligned with the rectangular opening of the horn antenna.

[0033] The controller 12 can control the spiral phase plate disk 4 to switch to the corresponding position according to the input electromagnetic wave mode number and angular velocity. At the same time, the controller 12 can also monitor the position state of the spiral phase plate disk 4 and the operation of the drive motor 7 in real time to ensure safe and reliable operation of the system.

[0034] The main control computer is used to store the drive motor control program. In order to accurately switch the spiral phase plate 5, the drive motor 7 needs to maintain a certain rotational angular velocity. The main control computer can realize the rotation angle control of the drive motor 7. At the same time, as the analyzer remote control machine and storage machine of the vector network analyzer 1, the scattering data can be saved in time.

[0035] The target 9 is placed on a turntable 11 in a dark room and supported by a low-reflection foam bracket 10. The transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3 are installed on a stable support frame. The distance between the transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3 is as close as possible, and the distance between the target 9 and the transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3 can be recorded.

[0036] The turntable 11 is electrically connected to the controller 12 via a communication cable 13 , a low-reflection foam bracket 10 is placed on the turntable 11 , and a target 9 is placed directly above the low-reflection foam bracket 10 , while ensuring that the target 9 and the transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0037] An absorbing material 8 is laid between the receiving antenna 3 and the target 9 to ensure that the coupling between the probe aperture and the target 9 within the scanning range is minimized to reduce the error in the measurement process.

[0038] After determining the measurement parameters according to the test requirements, the measurement system is first started without a target. The vector network analyzer 1 uses a frequency sweep method to measure the scattering data in the empty environment through the transmitting antenna 2 and the receiving antenna 3, and transmits the measurement data back to the remote control machine for storage. At this time, the measurement environment is controlled unchanged, and the target 9 is placed on a low-reflection foam bracket 10 and measured in the same way. The measurement data under all modal numbers are compared with the measurement data under the empty target to obtain relatively "clean" target scattered echo data.

[0039] Based on the same concept, the present invention also provides a radar cross section measurement method, referring to Figure 3 , specifically including the following steps: S1: Spectral transformation. According to Huygens principle, the field at any position in space is equivalent to the superposition of the radiation fields of all points on any surface. To calculate the far-field RCS, it is necessary to solve the echo signal at the far-field position. The coordinate system is established at the position of the transmitting antenna 2, and the target 9 is at the position At the location, the vector network analyzer 1 measures the plane where the target 9 is located. The near field echo signal is Based on the spectrum expansion theory, the near-field echo signal Perform spectrum transformation, that is, transform the wave propagation direction of Direction Component and Direction Component Another expression of the near-field echo signal is obtained by integral solution: (1); In the formula, for Plane wave spectrum vector on the plane, The target location point The position vector of represents the exponential function, is an imaginary unit, Represents the dot product calculation of two elements.

Solve the integral of the near-field echo signal by the stationary phase method: (2); In the formula, and are the polar angle and azimuth corresponding to the target position direction, k is the wave number, r To test the distance, is the far-field scattering pattern.

[0046] The RCS under a certain mode is calculated by formula (11).

[0047] S5, repeating steps S1 to S4 until the RCS under all modal numbers is solved; S6. Selective merging of RCS under different modal numbers. Since the target has different scattering responses to OAM electromagnetic waves with different modal numbers, the selective merging RCS method is used, that is, ,in Indicates the modal number In this way, the RCS measured under different modal numbers can be effectively and comprehensively utilized to improve the target RCS measurement results.

[0048] 2. Evidence of the effects of the embodiments The embodiments of the present invention have achieved some positive effects during the development or use process, and indeed have great advantages over the prior art, which are described below in conjunction with the process diagram of the test process.

[0049] Figure 4 is the modal number of the vortex electromagnetic wave (Plane wave), and From the RCS result diagram measured below, it can be seen that the RCS distribution of the target is significantly different under different modal illumination.

[0050] Figure 5 is the modal number and Compared with the detection probability diagram of RCS with different thresholds using the selective merging RCS method, it can be seen that the merging method can improve the detection probability of the target under ordinary plane wave illumination.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
