Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of short-range radar signal processing, and particularly relates to a pulse Doppler short-range radar signal processing simulation method based on a multi-scattering point model. BACKGROUND

[0002] The millimeter wave short-range radar detector is a detector working with electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 1-10 mm, and belongs to a short wave (high frequency) band radar system, which has good short-range characteristics and is suitable for short-range target detection.

[0003] The action distance between the detector and the target in the short-range detection environment can be comparable to the geometric size of the target itself, at which time the reflected target cannot be regarded as a point target when calculating the target echo, and the reflected target should be regarded as a volume target for operation and processing. In the process of radar detector echo signal processing based on the volume target, the surface of the three-dimensional volume target is usually divided into multiple two-dimensional surface elements, and then the target echo is calculated, and finally the echo contributions of each region are integrated to obtain the total echo signal of the three-dimensional volume target.

[0004] The size of each surface element should be small enough to capture the details of the target surface, but the subsequent calculation complexity and storage space requirements should also be considered when dividing the surface elements. Smaller surface element size means that more region units are needed to cover the entire target surface, which will significantly increase the calculation amount of the target echo signal calculation, thereby affecting the calculation efficiency of the millimeter wave short-range radar detector start point simulation calculation.

[0005] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to consider simplifying a large number of grids of the volume target in the side-looking short-range target detector irradiation area into a plurality of scattering points, constructing a multi-scattering point model of the volume target, improving the calculation efficiency of the short-range detector start point simulation, while preserving the influence of the details of the volume target surface on the echo signal amplitude, and ensuring the accuracy of the start point simulation.
