Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of target detection, and in particular to a small-sized low-speed target detection radar and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the requirements for refined management and security of key areas are getting higher and higher, and the corresponding monitoring technology is also being put forward. For example, in key parks, airports, prisons and other places, there are often illegal intrusions or random intrusions by drones; for small and low-speed targets such as drones, existing technical means have problems such as high detection difficulty, high detection equipment cost and easy false alarms.

[0003] At present, the commonly used technical means mainly include the use of infrared cameras or active phased array radars for detection. However, the above technical means all have certain application limitations. For example, infrared cameras are expensive, and it is difficult to effectively balance the distance and field of view. Currently, they are only used for target type verification and confirmation, and are not suitable for search. Active phased array radars have defects such as high cost, short mechanical life, high failure rate, and high false alarm rate. They mainly work in a fixed frequency band and have insufficient anti-interference capabilities. From the above, it can be seen that for small, low-speed targets, the current effective detection methods are extremely limited and generally have the problem of high cost, which is not convenient for large-scale deployment and industrial application.

Optionally, the effective accumulation time within a single frame, i.e., the signal accumulation gain T val =M×T N =65.536ms, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0087] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, it is assumed that there is a target T, the distance R = 500m from the small low-speed target detection radar (located at the origin O), the speed V = 10m / s, the horizontal angle θ0 = 10°, the pitch angle

[0088] In this embodiment, the signal processing unit 301 performs two-dimensional FFT (fast Fourier transform) and CFAR (constant false alarm detection) on the obtained first digital intermediate frequency signal or the second digital intermediate frequency signal, and the number of points of the two-dimensional FFT is P=512 (when P is not equal to an integer power of 2, N is taken as an integer power of 2 as possible) and M=1024. After the two-dimensional FFT processing, the first distance Doppler two-dimensional map or the second distance Doppler two-dimensional map is obtained, and CFAR is used to search for the target on the first distance Doppler two-dimensional map or the second distance Doppler two-dimensional map, and the distance index value p and the Doppler dimension index value m of the target are respectively 143 and 15 when the first band is working, and the distance index value p and the Doppler dimension index value m of the target are respectively 143 and 29 when the second band is working. According to the formula The distances of the targets when the first band is working and the second band is calculated to be And according to the formula It is calculated that the speed of the target when the first band is working and the second band is working is 9.94m / s, specifically It can be seen that the small low-speed target detection radar described in this embodiment has extremely high accuracy in detecting the distance and speed of the target.

[0089] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , the horizontal spacing between the first transmitting antenna TX1 and the second transmitting antenna TX1 is 6D, the horizontal spacing between the third transmitting antenna TX3 and the fourth transmitting antenna TX4 is D, and D is a positive number. The horizontal spacing between the first receiving antenna RX1 and the second receiving antenna RX2, between the second receiving antenna RX2 and the third receiving antenna RX3, and between the third receiving antenna RX3 and the fourth receiving antenna RX4 is 2D, and the vertical spacing between the fourth receiving antenna RX4 and the first receiving antenna RX1, the second receiving antenna RX2 and the third antenna RX3 is H, and H is a positive number. Optionally, D=27.273mm, H=109.092mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0090] Specifically, when the first band is working, the first transmitting antenna TX1 and the second transmitting antenna TX2 work in time sharing, and the first transmitting antenna TX1, the second transmitting antenna TX2 and the first receiving antenna RX1, the second receiving antenna RX2, the third receiving antenna RX3 and the fourth receiving antenna RX4 virtually form 8 first virtual receiving channels through MIMO (multiple input multiple output); Figure 4 As shown, the coordinates (x i ,y i ) are (0, 0), (2D, 0), (4D, 0), (6D, H), (6D, 0), (8D, 0), (10D, 0), and (12D, H), respectively; where i = 1, ..., 8.

[0091] When the second band is working, the third transmitting antenna TX3 and the fourth transmitting antenna TX4 work in time division, and the third transmitting antenna TX3, the fourth transmitting antenna TX4 and the first receiving antenna RX1, the second receiving antenna RX2, the third receiving antenna RX3 and the fourth receiving antenna RX4 form 8 second virtual receiving channels through MIMO (multiple input multiple output); Figure 5 As shown, the coordinates (x i ,y i ) are (0, 0), (2D, 0), (4D, 0), (6D, H), (D, 0), (3D, 0), (5D, 0), and (7D, H), respectively; where i = 1, ..., 8.

[0092] Furthermore, when the first band and the second band are working, the echo phase data of each channel can be expressed as Where i = 1...8, x i and i represents the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the virtual antenna, j is an imaginary unit, θ0 and are the horizontal angle and pitch angle of the target respectively.

[0093] Specifically, the signal processing unit 301 is also used to extract the echo phase data of the eight first virtual receiving channels from the first band range-Doppler two-dimensional map according to the distance index value and the Doppler dimension index value of the target when the first band is working; perform digital beam synthesis on the first echo signal to obtain the horizontal angle range and the pitch angle range when the first band is working; according to the horizontal angle range and the pitch angle range when the first band is working, the coordinates of the virtual antennas corresponding to the eight first virtual receiving channels and the formula In the formula is the steering vector, θ∈[-θ max,θ max ]、 Generate a steering vector corresponding to the first band; multiply and accumulate the first band steering vector and the echo phase data corresponding to the first band virtual receiving channel to obtain a first band spatial power spectrum, and the horizontal angle and pitch angle corresponding to the peak in the first band spatial power spectrum are the horizontal angle and pitch angle of the target.

[0094] The signal processing unit 301 is also used to extract the echo phase data of the eight second virtual receiving channels from the second band range-Doppler two-dimensional map according to the range index value and Doppler dimension index value of the target when the second band is working; perform digital beam synthesis on the second echo signal to obtain the horizontal angle range and the elevation angle range when the second band is working; according to the horizontal angle range and the elevation angle range when the second band is working, the coordinates of the eight virtual antennas corresponding to the second virtual receiving channels and the formula In the formula is the steering vector, θ∈[-θ′ max ,θ′ max ]、 Generate a steering vector corresponding to the second band; multiply and accumulate the second band steering vector and the second echo phase data corresponding to the second band virtual receiving channel to obtain a second band spatial power spectrum, and the horizontal angle and pitch angle corresponding to the peak in the second band spatial power spectrum are the horizontal angle and pitch angle of the target.

[0095] The above can obtain the distance, speed, horizontal angle, and pitch angle of the target, and then convert the spherical coordinate system into a Cartesian coordinate system to obtain the X, Y, and Z three-dimensional spatial coordinates and speed value of the target.

[0096] In addition, in some embodiments, Kalman tracking filtering can also be performed on the target, and for the target with established stable tracking track, micro-Doppler information can be extracted from the speed Doppler map through p and m index information; and multiple frames are continuously extracted to establish a micro-Doppler time-frequency map. The convolutional neural network classifier in the signal processing unit 301 identifies the micro-Doppler time-frequency map, completes target classification, obtains the category information of the target, and finally obtains the X, Y, Z three-dimensional spatial coordinate information, speed information and category information of the target, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0097] In other embodiments, the radar signal processing module 30 also includes a radar communication interface 302, which is connected to the signal processing unit 301; the radar communication interface 302 includes an Ethernet interface and a CAN communication interface; and the Ethernet interface and the CAN communication interface can independently send the X, Y, Z three-dimensional spatial coordinate information, speed information, and category information of the target obtained by the signal processing unit 301 to the user end for staff to view, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0098] Combined with Figure 6 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment also provides a method for using the small-sized low-speed target detection radar as described above, including: when there is no interference to the target, the small-sized low-speed target detection radar is operated in the first band, and a fast search mode is used to detect the target; if there is interference in the first band to the target, the small-sized low-speed target detection radar is operated in the second band, and a backup search mode is used to detect the target; if there is interference in the second band to the target, the small-sized low-speed target detection radar is operated in an interlaced manner between frames of the first band and the second band, and a complex anti-interference mode is used to detect the target, and coded frequency hopping is performed between modulated sawtooth waveforms in each frame.

[0099] Optionally, the radar signal processing module 30 also includes a radar interference detection unit 304, which is connected to the RF front-end cascade module 10 and is used to detect whether the target has first-band interference and second-band interference; if the target does not have first-band interference and second-band interference, the radar interference detection unit 304 controls the RF front-end cascade module 10 to generate the first-band RF signal; if the target has first-band interference, the radar interference detection unit 304 controls the RF front-end cascade module 10 to generate the second-band RF signal; if the target has second-band interference, the radar interference detection unit 304 controls the RF front-end cascade module 10 to interleave the generation of the first-band RF signal and the second-band RF signal between frames.

[0100] Specifically, the small low-speed target detection radar enters the fast search mode by default when it is turned on, that is, it works in the first band. When the radar interference detection unit does not detect interference with the target for a continuous period of time (i.e., within a preset time length), the small low-speed target detection radar enters the fast search mode, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0101] Specifically, the method for using the small low-speed target detection radar also includes: dividing the working airspace of the small low-speed target detection radar into a monitoring area and a dangerous area according to the distance; wherein the distance from any point in the monitoring area to the small low-speed target detection radar is greater than the distance from any point in the dangerous area to the small low-speed target detection radar. When the target enters the dangerous area from the monitoring area and continues to approach the small low-speed target detection radar, the RF front-end cascade module 10 generates an active interference signal and transmits the active interference signal to the target through the first band transmitting antenna unit 201 and the second band transmitting antenna unit 202 to increase active interference to the target; at this time, the small low-speed target detection radar will enter the active interference mode from the original working mode (one of the fast search mode, the standby search mode and the complex anti-interference mode). When the target continues to move away from the small low-speed target detection radar, the RF front-end cascade module 10 stops generating the active interference signal, and the small low-speed target detection radar reverts to the original working mode.

[0102] Furthermore, the RF front-end cascade module 10 also includes an interference signal generating unit, which is connected to the radar control unit 303; when the target enters the dangerous area from the monitoring area and continues to approach the small low-speed target detection radar, the radar control unit 303 generates a fifth driving instruction, and the fifth driving instruction controls the interference signal generating unit to generate the active interference signal and transmit it to the target through the first band transmitting antenna unit 201 and the second band transmitting antenna unit 202, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0103] In summary, the present embodiment provides a small low-speed target detection radar and a method of use, wherein the RF front-end cascade module can generate a first-band RF signal when working in the first band and generate a second-band RF signal when working in the second band. The first-band transmitting antenna unit of the antenna array module can transmit a first-band RF signal to the target, the second-band transmitting antenna unit can transmit a second-band RF signal to the target, and the dual-band receiving antenna unit can receive a first echo signal corresponding to the first-band RF signal and a second echo signal corresponding to the second-band RF signal. The radar signal processing module can calculate the distance, speed, horizontal angle and pitch angle of the target according to the first echo signal or the second echo signal to detect the target. The present embodiment adopts a dual-band antenna design, so that the small low-speed target detection radar has multiple working modes, such as a fast search mode (i.e., working in the first band), a standby search mode (i.e., working in the second band) and a complex anti-interference mode (i.e., working in the first band and the second band inter-frame interleaving), so that the appropriate working mode can be selected according to different application scenarios, thereby efficiently and reliably detecting the target. In this embodiment, the RF front-end cascade module can also generate an active interference signal and transmit the active interference signal to the target through the first band transmitting antenna unit and the second band transmitting antenna unit to increase active interference to the target. In addition, this embodiment uses a dual-band design to realize FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) system detection based on low-cost SDR (software defined radio, Standard Dynamic Range) chip cascade, and adds a power amplifier and a low-noise amplifier at the same time, which can increase the range of low-speed small targets and effectively reduce costs, thereby providing an efficient and reliable low-cost detection, anti-interference, and active interference integrated solution for low-speed small targets in the field of anti-UAV.
