Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of radar measurement technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for improving the measurement accuracy of a multi-frequency continuous wave radar using a transponder. Background Art

[0002] Multi-frequency continuous wave (MFCW) radar uses methods such as Doppler velocity measurement, phase comparison angle measurement, and quadratic phase (frequency) difference for ranging. Within MFCW radar, the DCR (Digital Conversion Receiver) accurately receives and processes reflected electromagnetic wave signals, enabling target tracking and measurement. However, due to factors such as transmitter-receiver isolation and receiver filters, MFCW radars have inherent limitations in tracking and measuring low-speed targets. In the low-speed region, the DC component near zero frequency can even overwhelm the radar echo signal, making tracking impossible. This is especially true when the target passes through zero frequency, rendering MFCW radar incapable of tracking.

[0003] For reflective radars like multi-frequency continuous-wave radars, various measurement accuracy and tracking performance metrics typically refer to point targets. However, in practice, almost all targets are not ideal point targets. Large targets, in particular, have scattered scattering points that are significantly affected by their attitude. Furthermore, for large targets, due to various variables such as rotation, roll, tilt, and nutation, the radial velocity of the target relative to the radar varies at different locations. When the radar signal radiates to the target, the Doppler signals generated by different scattering points also vary. Therefore, when the radar receiver receives this Doppler signal and performs signal and data processing, it inevitably introduces jitter and variation in real-time velocity measurement, affecting the radar's velocity measurement accuracy. Furthermore, different scattering points can also cause angular and ranging errors. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Preferably, in step S6, the signal and data processing system identifies the received signal and extracts the baseband signal of the transponder, and the specific process is:

[0055] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: When a multi-frequency continuous wave radar radiates electromagnetic wave signals toward a measurement target, the electromagnetic wave signals can be received by a transponder and simultaneously reflected by the measurement target. The transponder performs frequency modulation, filtering, amplification, and other processing on the received radar electromagnetic wave radiation signals before radiating them toward the multi-frequency continuous wave radar. Therefore, the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system can simultaneously receive the measurement target reflection signal and the transponder forwarding signal, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving signal and achieving enhanced radar power. In addition, by comparing the measurement target reflection signal and the transponder signal, the baseband signal f of the transponder signal is obtained. ds =f d +F, compared with the baseband signal of the reflected signal, there is an additional modulation frequency term F. The introduction of the modulation frequency F will effectively avoid the problem that the multi-frequency continuous wave radar cannot track and measure low-speed targets.

[0059] It should be understood that terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not preclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the measurement accuracy of a multi-frequency continuous wave radar, comprising the following steps:

[0061] S1. Ensure that all transponder signals fall within the receiving bandwidth and dynamic range of the multi-frequency continuous wave radar.

[0062] The transponder gain and frequency modulation values ​​are calculated based on the speed, direction, and range of the target being measured, as well as the distance range from the multi-frequency continuous wave radar, to ensure that the transponder signal falls within the radar receiving bandwidth and dynamic range within the full measurement range. The specific process for calculating the transponder gain and modulation frequency values ​​is as follows:

[0063] S101, measure the Doppler frequency caused by target motion as f d , Among them, V dTo measure the radial velocity of the target, λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar.

[0064] S102, when the transponder performs frequency modulation, the modulation frequency of the transponder is set to F, and the signal bandwidth reaching the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system (deviation from the multi-frequency continuous wave radar transmitting frequency f0 and f i The frequency value) is: f d +F;

[0065] S103, set the signal bandwidth of the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system to F r In order for the multi-frequency continuous wave radar to receive all the reply signals normally, it is necessary to ensure that f d +F∈F r ;

[0066] S104, according to the constraint condition f d +F∈F r , calculate the transponder modulation frequency F;

[0067] S105. The transponder gain value needs to consider the interrogation range R1 from the MFCCW radar to the transponder and the downlink range R2 from the transponder to the MFCCW radar. The specific calculation methods for the interrogation range R1 and the downlink range R2 are as follows:

[0068] Among them, P t Multi-frequency continuous wave radar transmission power, G t is the multi-frequency continuous wave radar transmitting antenna gain, G b is the beacon receiving antenna gain, λ is the wavelength of electromagnetic waves transmitted by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar, S b is the transponder receiving sensitivity, L t is the transmission path loss, L b is the total beacon reception loss;

[0070] S2. Multi-frequency continuous wave radar radiates electromagnetic wave signals to the measurement target.

[0071] Among them, according to the task characteristics such as the distance range and maneuverability of the measurement target, a reasonable multi-frequency continuous wave frequency group is selected for electromagnetic wave radiation. Assume that the signal emitted by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar is:

[0072]

[0073] Among them, S t0 (t) is the transmitted single frequency signal, S ti (t) is the transmitted multi-frequency signal, A0 is the amplitude of the single-frequency signal, is the phase of the single-frequency signal, ω0 is the angular frequency of the single-frequency signal, A i is the amplitude of the multi-frequency signal, is the phase of the transmitted multi-frequency signal, ω i is the angular frequency of the multi-frequency signal.

[0074] S3. The electromagnetic wave signal is received by the transponder and reflected by the measured target.

[0075] Among them, let the distance between the measurement target and the multi-frequency continuous wave radar be R, and the radial velocity of the measurement target be V d , then the signal emitted by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar and irradiated to the front end of the measurement target is:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, S r0 (t) is the signal emitted by the single-frequency signal irradiating the front end of the measurement target, S ri (t) is the signal emitted by the multi-frequency signal irradiating the front end of the measurement target, f0 is the frequency of the single-frequency signal, f i is the frequency of the multi-frequency signal, t r To measure the time it takes for the target to receive the electromagnetic wave signal, k is the signal wave vector and A is the signal amplitude.

[0078] S4. The transponder modulates the amplitude and single-sideband frequency of the received signal and radiates the modulated signal outward.

[0079] Where, let the transponder delay be t h , then the frequency modulated signal is A F is the frequency modulation signal amplitude, F is the modulation frequency, is the phase of the frequency modulated signal, then the modulated signal is:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, S rs0 (t) is the signal after modulating the received single-frequency signal, S rsi (t) is the signal after modulating the received multi-frequency signal.

[0082] S5. The multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system simultaneously receives the measurement target reflection signal and the transponder signal, and sends the baseband signal to the signal and data processing system.

[0083] Among them, the reflected signal received by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system is:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, S rf0 (t) is the reflected signal corresponding to the single-frequency signal, S rfi (t) is the reflected signal corresponding to the multi-frequency signal;

[0086] The transponder signal received by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system is:

[0087]

[0088] Among them, A r =1 / 2·k·A·A F , k1 and k2 are amplitude adjustment coefficients, which are used to ensure the amplitude consistency of single-frequency channels and multi-frequency channels.

[0089] S6. The signal and data processing system identifies the received signal and extracts the baseband signal of the transponder, thereby completing radar tracking and measurement.

[0090] In which, assuming that the measurement target is far away from the multi-frequency continuous wave radar, the radial velocity V of the measurement target is d is positive, the target distance at the moment of electromagnetic wave radiation is R0, then t r =2(R0+V d t) / (c+V d ), c is the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves in the medium;

[0091] The reflected signal received by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system is expressed as:

[0092]

[0093] The transponder signal received by the multi-frequency continuous wave radar receiving system is expressed as

[0094]

[0095] Since c>>V d, after down-conversion of the reflected signal, the Doppler frequency is obtained:

[0096]

[0097] For the reflected signal, the phase difference caused by distance is:

[0098] in, is the phase difference corresponding to the single-frequency reflection signal, is the phase difference corresponding to the multi-frequency reflection signal, λ0 is the wavelength corresponding to the single-frequency reflection signal, λ i is the wavelength corresponding to the multi-frequency reflection signal;

[0099] For the transponder signal, after down-conversion, the baseband signal frequency is:

[0100]

[0101] For the transponder signal, the phase difference caused by distance is:

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] in, is the phase difference corresponding to the single-frequency transponder signal, is the phase difference corresponding to the multi-frequency transponder signal;

[0105] By comparing the reflected signal and the reply signal, it is found that the baseband signal f ds =f d +F, compared with the baseband signal of the reflected signal, there is an additional modulation frequency term F. Because for low-speed targets, f d The value is very small, and for multi-frequency continuous waves, the Doppler signal near the zero frequency cannot be obtained due to the limitation of the receiver front end. Therefore, for low-speed targets, the multi-frequency continuous wave radar cannot measure. Therefore, the introduction of the modulation frequency F will effectively avoid the problem that the multi-frequency continuous wave radar cannot track and measure low-speed targets.

[0106] For the phase Since the multi-frequency continuous wave radar uses the quadratic phase difference method for ranging, it is found that:

[0107] Therefore, the transponder signal does not cause any change in ranging.

[0108] At the same time, the amplitude of the received signal is compared. Since the transponder signal is transmitted and received through the antenna, and a multi-stage amplification circuit is added inside the transponder, the transponder signal is usually much larger than the reflected signal, and there is no reflected signal amplitude and phase flicker caused by reflections from multiple scattering points of the measurement target. The signal-to-noise ratio of the transponder signal will be significantly enhanced, thereby improving the power and measurement accuracy of the multi-frequency continuous wave radar.

[0109] The number of devices and processing scales described herein are intended to simplify the description of the present invention. Applications, modifications, and variations of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
