However, people's reaction time and field of vision are limited, and simply improving the quality of drivers cannot significantly reduce the accident rate. With the development of modern science and technology, military radar technology has begun to be applied to civilian systems, and the application of radar technology in the automotive industry has received great attention.

[0004] As one of the important sensors of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar has become an indispensable part of ADAS system, and with the continuous development of autonomous driving technology, millimeter-wave radar will have a huge market demand.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a method for widening the FOV of a vehicle-mounted radar antenna array pitch plane, comprising:

[0039] S1: Fourier transform method is used to integrate the amplitude and phase weights to calculate the first amplitude and phase weight of the elevation plane pattern width FOV;

[0040] S2: combining a plurality of one-to-two power dividers to obtain a power divider combination, adjusting the second phase weight value of the output port of the power divider combination to be consistent with the first phase weight value obtained by Fourier transform method, so as to shape the elevation beam wave of the antenna array 2 to achieve a preset directivity pattern;

[0041] S3: The radar includes multiple antenna arrays 2. The transmitting antenna and receiving antenna of the radar both use the same antenna array 2. Each transmitting antenna and each receiving antenna are simulated, and the gain pattern generated by the simulation of each transmitting antenna and receiving antenna is extracted, and the radar's transmit-receive composite gain pattern is calculated.

[0042] S4: Using the synthetic gain pattern of transmission and reception, combined with the radar equation, the power diagram of the radar can be calculated, and it can be determined whether the FOV of the radar's pitch plane meets the requirements;

[0043] S5: If yes, then end the simulation.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the antenna array design, the Fourier transform method can be used to calculate and design the amplitude and phase weights of each antenna array 2 to achieve the desired beam shape. Amplitude and phase are two basic properties of the signal. The amplitude and phase weight refers to the adjustment of the signal amplitude and phase of each antenna array 2 to achieve a specific beam shape. Therefore, the Fourier transform method is used to synthesize the amplitude and phase weights, and the first amplitude and phase weight of the elevation plane pattern width FOV is calculated. In the embodiment of the present invention, the antenna array 2 adopts a speaker array, in which each radiating speaker in the array is fed by a waveguide power divider. Through the combination of three one-to-two power dividers, changing the length of the waveguide feed line of the power divider can change the input phase of each radiator, and changing the size of the waveguide feed line of the power divider can change the input amplitude of each radiator, so that the amplitude and phase weight of the power divider combination is consistent with the amplitude and phase weight synthesized by the Fourier transform method, thereby shaping the elevation beam of the antenna array 2 to achieve the expected directional pattern. Among them, the directional pattern is a graph that describes the directional characteristics of the antenna radiation or reception signal. By shaping, a directional pattern that meets specific requirements can be designed, such as a narrower beam or a specific coverage area. The radar includes multiple antenna arrays 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the four antenna arrays 2 in area A are receiving antennas, and the four antenna arrays 2 in area B are transmitting antennas. The transmitting antenna and receiving antenna of the radar both use the same antenna array 2. Each transmitting antenna and each receiving antenna are simulated, and the gain pattern generated by the simulation of each transmitting antenna and receiving antenna is extracted. The radar's transmit-receive composite gain pattern is calculated, as shown in Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 In the figure, the horizontal axis represents the angle, and the vertical axis represents the gain of the combined transmit and receive directional pattern. Figure 2As shown in the figure, the FOV of the radar in the elevation plane can reach ±30°, while the antenna gain can still be maintained at 15.9dB. That is, the amplitude and phase weights obtained by the Fourier transform method are realized by the power divider combination. Under the premise of maintaining high gain, the FOV of the radar in the elevation plane is greatly improved, reducing the elevation blind area of ​​the vehicle-mounted radar. Using the synthetic gain pattern of transmission and reception, combined with the radar equation, the power diagram of the radar can be calculated, and it can be judged whether the FOV of the radar in the elevation plane meets the requirements, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the angle and the vertical axis represents the distance. Figure 3 We can conclude that when the elevation plane is ±30°, the detection distance of the radar can still reach 24 meters. We use the power diagram of the whole radar to evaluate the performance of the antenna array 2. This parameter has met our requirements for effectively expanding the FOV range of the radar elevation plane while ensuring high gain. If the simulation results meet the requirements, the simulation ends. In summary, based on the antenna shaping principle, the Fourier transform method is used to synthesize the amplitude and phase weights, and a high-gain elevation wide-beam waveguide speaker array is designed. While ensuring high gain, the FOV range of the vehicle-mounted front radar elevation plane is effectively expanded.

[0045] Further, the step S2 of combining a plurality of one-to-two power splitters to obtain a power splitter combination includes:

[0046] Three of the one-to-two power splitters are combined to generate a one-to-four power splitter.

[0047] Further, the second amplitude and phase weight value of the output port of the power divider combination is adjusted to be consistent with the first amplitude and phase weight value synthesized by the Fourier transform method to shape the elevation beam wave of the antenna array 2 to achieve a preset directional pattern, including:

[0048] Changing the length of the waveguide feed line of the one-to-two power splitter can change the input phase of each radiator, and changing the size of the waveguide feed line of the one-to-two power splitter can change the input amplitude of each radiator, so that the second amplitude-phase weight value of the power splitter combination is consistent with the first amplitude-phase weight value synthesized by the Fourier transform method.

[0049] Further, the radar equation includes at least one of: a basic radar equation, a search radar equation, a low pulse repetition frequency radar equation, a high pulse repetition frequency radar equation, a bistatic radar equation, a surveillance radar equation, and a synthetic aperture radar equation.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the radar system, the radar equation is a series of equations used to describe the radar's ability to detect targets. The basic radar equation is the basic equation for the detection capability of the radar system, which takes into account factors such as radar transmit power, antenna gain, target radar cross section (RCS), operating frequency, target distance, and system loss. The search radar equation is used to calculate the ability of the search radar to detect targets in a certain airspace, which takes into account the average transmit power of the radar, the effective area of ​​the antenna, the scanning time, the search airspace, and the system loss. The low pulse repetition frequency radar equation is used to process the working conditions of the radar at a low repetition frequency, which takes into account the influence of the pulse repetition frequency on the radar detection capability. The high pulse repetition frequency radar equation corresponds to the low PRF radar equation, and this equation takes into account the working performance of the radar at a high repetition frequency. The bistatic radar equation, in this configuration, the transmitting and receiving sites are separated, and this equation is used to describe the ability of the bistatic radar system to detect targets. The surveillance radar equation, the surveillance radar needs to search and track targets in a larger airspace, and this equation takes into account the performance of the radar in the search and tracking state. Radar equations in the presence of interference. This equation takes into account the effect of interference on the radar's detection capability in the presence of external interference (such as electronic jamming). Synthetic aperture radar equations. This equation is used to analyze the imaging capability and resolution of synthetic aperture radars. It takes into account the radar's transmit power, antenna characteristics, pulse width, operating frequency, and target distance. These equations are important tools in radar system design and analysis. They help engineers understand and optimize the performance of radars. Through these equations, key parameters such as radar range, detection probability, resolution, and anti-interference ability can be predicted.

[0052] PCBA radio frequency board 1, used for generating, transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals;

[0053] Antenna linear array 2, used to shape the elevation beam to achieve a desired directional pattern;

[0054] Dummy element 3 is used to improve the large-angle gain of the radiating antenna;

[0055] Among them, multiple antenna arrays 2 are arranged on the PCBA radio frequency board 1, and the antenna array 2 includes a one-to-four power divider, and the one-to-four power divider is composed of three one-to-two power dividers.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the radar includes a PCBA radio frequency board 1, an antenna array 2 and a dummy element 3. The radar includes multiple antenna arrays 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the four antenna arrays 2 in area A are receiving antennas, and the four antenna arrays 2 in area B are transmitting antennas. The antenna array 2 uses a horn array, in which each radiating horn is fed by a waveguide power divider. Through the combination of three one-to-two power dividers, changing the length of the waveguide feed line of the power divider can change the input phase of each radiator, and changing the size of the waveguide feed line of the power divider can change the input amplitude of each radiator, so that the amplitude and phase weights of the power divider combination are consistent with the amplitude and phase weights synthesized by the Fourier transform method, thereby shaping the pitch beam of the antenna array 2 to achieve the expected radiation pattern. The radar includes multiple antenna arrays 2. The transmitting antenna and receiving antenna of the radar both use the same antenna array 2. Each transmitting antenna and each receiving antenna are simulated, and the gain radiation pattern generated by the simulation of each transmitting antenna and receiving antenna is extracted, and the radar's transmit and receive composite gain radiation pattern is calculated. As shown Figure 5 As shown, the antenna array 2 in area A is a receiving antenna, and the antenna array 2 in area B is a transmitting antenna. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the left and right sides of the partial antenna array 2 are loaded with dummy elements 3, which are open circuit designs. By adjusting the distance between the dummy element 3 and the radiating antenna and the horizontal angle of the dummy element 3 speaker, the large-angle gain of the radiating antenna can be improved. Using the transmit-receive composite gain pattern and combining it with the radar equation, the power diagram of the radar can be calculated, and it can be determined whether the radar's pitch plane FOV meets the requirements, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the angle and the vertical axis represents the distance. Figure 3 We can conclude that when the elevation plane is ±30°, the detection distance of the radar can still reach 24 meters. We use the power diagram of the whole radar to evaluate the performance of the antenna array 2. This parameter has met our requirements for effectively expanding the FOV range of the radar elevation plane while ensuring high gain. If the simulation results meet the requirements, the simulation ends. In summary, based on the antenna shaping principle, the Fourier transform method is used to synthesize the amplitude and phase weights, and a high-gain elevation wide-beam waveguide speaker array is designed. While ensuring high gain, the FOV range of the vehicle-mounted front radar elevation plane is effectively expanded.
