Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of time-frequency synchronization processing, and in particular to a missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR time-frequency synchronization method based on direct waves. Background Art

[0002] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can not only work in all-day and all-weather conditions, but also effectively identify camouflaged objects and penetrate cover. Missile-borne SAR technology that combines SAR with missiles is a hot topic in current SAR research. The combination of seeker and SAR gives the seeker the advantages of SAR, improves its full-time detection capability, and has strong autonomy and anti-interference capabilities in battlefields with complex environments. However, a single-base platform cannot perform forward imaging and cannot identify targets directly in front of the platform, so it cannot meet the needs of modern battlefields.

[0003] Missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR is a radar system that places the receiver and transmitter separately on two missile platforms. In this system, the transmitting platform is responsible for transmitting radar signals to the target area, while the receiving platform passively captures the reflected signals and processes the received signals to generate two-dimensional high-resolution SAR images.

[0004] The dual-base SAR system can transmit and receive multiple targets at one time, obtain target scattering information from multiple angles, improve the accuracy of target identification, and more easily discover hidden targets, thus improving the platform's reconnaissance capability. At the same time, it is also very suitable for multi-missile formation operations, which can improve strike capabilities and cope with more complex battlefield environments. Usually, the dual-base SAR system adopts the "long-range transmission and short-range reception" working mode, and has natural anti-interference and stealth characteristics. Compared with the single-base SAR system, the dual-base SAR system adds a carrying platform, which means that the dual-base SAR system needs to add modules such as time-frequency synchronization and data link, which increases the complexity of system design. Among them, the time-frequency synchronization problem will affect the imaging quality and the accuracy of target positioning, which is the primary problem that the dual-base system needs to solve.

[0005] Existing time-frequency synchronization technologies are mainly divided into three categories: independent synchronization method, third-party synchronization method, and synchronous link synchronization method. Among them, the independent synchronization method refers to the use of a high-stability frequency source by the sender and receiver, and the synchronization is achieved solely by relying on the consistency and high stability of the frequency source. It has high requirements for the frequency source and is usually difficult to achieve. Third-party synchronization refers to the use of the pps signal provided by satellites such as GPS and Beidou as a synchronization reference. This method is mainly used to process the clock difference between the sender and receiver, and this synchronization method has high requirements for positioning accuracy and is not suitable for high-speed mobile platforms. The synchronous link synchronization method includes a two-way link synchronization method, which requires establishing a communication link between the transmitter and the receiver and sending synchronization signals to each other. This method has high synchronization accuracy, but it will destroy the passive characteristics of the receiver, and the system cost is high. It is usually used for cooperative satellite platforms and is not suitable for missile-borne platforms. Summary of the invention

[0015] In order to eliminate the inherent time-frequency synchronization error between missile-borne bistatic platforms, this embodiment proposes a missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR time-frequency synchronization method based on direct waves, which can eliminate the time-frequency synchronization error between the bistatic platforms and achieve high-quality imaging and precision guidance throughout the guidance process. In order to achieve time and frequency synchronization of the missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR platform, a synchronization link is first established between the two platforms for transmitting and receiving direct waves. The receiver extracts the time-frequency synchronization error from the received direct wave signal and compensates the echo matrix, thereby achieving time-frequency synchronization of the missile-borne bistatic platform.

[0016] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] See also Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR time-frequency synchronization method based on direct waves, which specifically includes the following steps: Step S101: demodulate the received direct wave signal and perform distance compression on the demodulated direct wave signal.

[0018] Step S102: extract the peak signal with the largest amplitude of each sampling pulse in the direct wave matrix after range compression to form a peak signal vector, and perform Doppler centroid estimation on the peak signal vector by using an amplitude correlation method.

[0019] Step S103, perform polynomial fitting on the peak position historical data corresponding to the peak signal in each sampling pulse (the data is positioned as: the slant distance corresponding to each peak signal, that is, the distance data of the radar signal from the transmitter to the receiver), extract the linear component to obtain the linear quantity, remove the deviation corresponding to the Doppler centroid from the linear quantity, obtain the offset rate of the linear time synchronization error, and compensate the linear time synchronization error in the direct wave matrix and the echo matrix according to the offset rate.

[0020] Step S104, subtract the peak phase of the peak signal, and obtain an estimated value of the fixed frequency synchronization error based on the peak phase difference value and the Doppler centroid estimate value, and compensate the fixed frequency synchronization error in the direct wave matrix and the echo matrix based on the estimated value.

[0021] The missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR time-frequency synchronization method based on direct waves described in this embodiment can eliminate the synchronization error between the missile transmitting and receiving platforms. The transmitter of the irradiation missile transmits the direct wave, and the receiver of the attack missile passively receives the direct wave signal and solves the time-frequency synchronization error. Under the condition of considering the system cost, this method can retain the passive characteristics of the reception and eliminate the time-frequency synchronization error between platforms, thereby realizing high-resolution, high-quality imaging and precise guidance throughout the guidance process.

[0022] The time-frequency synchronization method includes a time synchronization processing method and a frequency synchronization processing method. The two processing processes are specifically explained as follows.

[0023] For the time synchronization processing method, the method includes: Step 1: The receiver demodulates the received direct wave signal, wherein the model of the direct wave signal after demodulation by the receiver is: (1) In the formula, Indicates distance to fast time, Indicates the slow time in azimuth. is the carrier frequency, is the frequency modulation slope, is the propagation delay of the direct wave from the transmitter to the receiver, is the time synchronization error.

[0024] It can be observed from equation (1) that the time synchronization error can be estimated by the delay time of the adjacent direct wave signal or echo signal during the propagation process. Because the direct wave signal can be regarded as a one-way echo signal containing only one point target and with a very high signal-to-noise ratio, the effect of using the direct wave signal to estimate the time synchronization error is more obvious.

[0025] Step 2: performing distance compression on the demodulated direct wave signal; Among them, the linear part of the peak position history after the direct wave range compression contains two key information: first, the drift rate of the linear time synchronization error, and second, the Doppler centroid. Obviously, to obtain the drift rate of the linear time synchronization error, it is only necessary to remove the influence of the Doppler centroid in the range migration.

[0026] Step 3, extracting the peak signal with the largest amplitude of each sampling pulse in the direct wave matrix after range compression to form a peak signal vector; Step 4: Perform polynomial fitting on the peak position historical data corresponding to the peak signal in each sampling pulse to extract its linear component and obtain a linear quantity; Step 5: Using the amplitude correlation method to estimate the Doppler centroid of the peak signal vector generated in step 2; Step 6: Eliminate the deviation caused by the Doppler centroid (i.e., the Doppler centroid estimate) from the linear quantity obtained in step 4, and then obtain the drift rate of the linear time synchronization error; Step 7: Compensate the linear time synchronization error in the direct wave matrix and the echo matrix according to the offset rate.

[0027] For the frequency synchronization processing method, the method includes: Step 1: The receiver demodulates the received direct wave signal, wherein the model of the direct wave signal with a fixed frequency synchronization error after demodulation by the receiver is: (2) In the formula, represents the pulse duration, is the propagation delay of the direct wave from the transmitter to the receiver, represents the frequency modulation slope, is the transmitter carrier frequency, is the pulse repetition period, is the initial phase, where , is the receiver local oscillator, Indicates fixed frequency synchronization error.

[0028] Step 2: Perform distance compression on the demodulated direct wave signal, wherein the demodulated direct wave signal after distance compression is: (3) In the formula, is the signal bandwidth. , it can be seen from the formula that when When the pulse pressure reaches the maximum value, the signal phase is only One item. It can be seen from the expression of The linear component of contains the Doppler centroid of the direct wave and the fixed frequency synchronization error. To obtain the fixed frequency synchronization error, just remove The influence of the Doppler centroid in the linear component of .

[0029] Step 3, extract the peak signal with the largest amplitude of each sampling pulse in the direct wave matrix after range compression, form a peak signal vector, and make a difference in the peak phase; Among them, subtracting the phase at the peak of the pulse pressure can be obtained: (4) in, is the instantaneous Doppler frequency of the direct wave. Within the time when two adjacent direct waves are transmitted, the relative distance between the transmitter and the receiver changes too much, which will cause phase entanglement. and There is a linear relationship between them, but only the phase after winding can be obtained. It is difficult to directly obtain the linear relationship between the two. Rewrite equation (4) as follows: (5) In the formula, is the unknown winding number, express exist The main value part in the bistatic SAR system. As described above, based on the current frequency accuracy level of the oscillation source, ambiguity usually does not occur between pulses, so there is no need to consider the phase winding phenomenon.

[0030] Step 4: perform Doppler centroid estimation on the peak signal vector in step 3 using the amplitude correlation method; Step 5: Subtract the Doppler centroid estimate from the peak phase difference in step 2 to obtain an estimate of the fixed frequency synchronization error; Step 6: Compensate the fixed frequency synchronization error in the direct wave matrix and the echo matrix according to the estimated value of the fixed frequency synchronization error.

[0031] Compared with the two-way link synchronization method, the method described in this embodiment can effectively eliminate the synchronization error while retaining the passive characteristics of the receiver, so that its anti-interference ability and stealth characteristics are not destroyed; compared with the third-party synchronization method, the method described in this embodiment does not rely on high-precision positioning results and is more suitable for processing time-frequency synchronization errors between high-speed maneuvering platforms; compared with the independent synchronization method, the method described in this embodiment does not require a high-stability frequency source and can maintain a low system cost. Therefore, this method can effectively eliminate the time-frequency synchronization error between missile-borne dual-base forward-looking SAR platforms, ensure high-quality imaging throughout the guidance process, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent extraction of image information.
