[0012] This application proposes a calibration method and device for the delay calibration problem in a distributed millimeter wave sensing system. In a distributed millimeter wave sensing system, factors such as hardware circuit differences, equipment performance fluctuations, and dynamic environmental changes can cause signal transmission delay errors, reducing the system's perception accuracy and real-time performance. To this end, this application provides a solution that can dynamically adjust parameters, correct delay errors in real time, and enhance system adaptability.
[0013] This application achieves filtering of invalid spatial path information, real-time delay error correction of signal propagation paths (including all paths that the signal passes from the transmitter to the receiver, such as direct paths, reflection paths, etc.), and dynamic change tracking of dynamic targets by dynamically adjusting beam configuration parameters and power parameters, combined with preset calibration modes and reporting information. At the same time, the system automatically adjusts the transmission power according to the deployment scenario requirements and flexibly selects the calibration mode, ensuring adaptability and robustness in static, dynamic and mixed scenarios, and providing an efficient and accurate delay calibration solution for distributed millimeter wave sensing systems.
[0014] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The present application is described in detail.
[0015] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is the architecture diagram of the millimeter wave sensing system of the present application. A millimeter wave sensing system includes a receiving module and its receiving circuit, a sending module and its sending circuit, and a host computer and its environmental parameter configuration unit. Among them, the receiving module and its receiving circuit and the sending module and its sending circuit are collectively referred to as a radio frequency transceiver module; the host computer and its environmental parameter configuration unit are collectively referred to as a host computer. The host computer is responsible for the configuration and distribution of environmental parameters, and processes and analyzes the received data.
[0016] Exemplarily, the main function of the sending module is to receive environmental parameters sent by the host computer, including the transmission power requirement and the beam coverage requirement, and report the parameters to the host computer. The sending module includes a beam control unit, a digital processing unit, and a downlink gain control unit. The beam control unit is used to send beam configuration parameters to the transmitting circuit to control the direction and coverage of the transmitting beam. The digital processing unit is used to process downlink data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. The downlink gain control unit is used to adjust the power parameters of the transmitting circuit according to the transmission power requirement, and send the downlink data to the transmitting circuit. The core functions of the sending module include analyzing environmental parameters, confirming the conditions for transmitting the beam, and dynamically adjusting the power parameters according to the transmission power requirement to meet the needs of the deployment scenario.
[0017] Exemplarily, the main function of the receiving module is to receive environmental parameters sent by the host computer, including static reflector position information and dynamic target information, and report parameters to the host computer. The receiving module includes a beam control unit, a digital processing unit, and an uplink gain control unit. The beam control unit is used to send beam configuration parameters to the receiving circuit to control the direction and coverage of the receiving beam. The digital processing unit is used to process uplink data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. The uplink gain control unit is used to adjust the power parameters of the receiving circuit according to the beam coverage requirements, and send the uplink data to the receiving circuit. The core functions of the receiving module include analyzing environmental parameters, filtering invalid information that exceeds the required range and affects the calibration accuracy, and filtering invalid spatial path information (including distance, delay, angle and speed) based on beam configuration parameters and power parameters, and retaining valid information.
[0018] Exemplarily, the main functions of the host computer include environmental parameter configuration, data processing and analysis, and calibration mode selection and execution. Environmental parameter configuration is to configure and send transmission power requirements, beam coverage requirements, static reflector position information and dynamic target information according to the requirements of the deployment scenario. Data processing and analysis is to receive the data reported by the RF transceiver module, perform RVA (distance-velocity-angle) estimation, analyze and judge the received data, and confirm the range of environmental parameters in combination with specific calibration scenarios (such as static scenarios, dynamic scenarios or mixed scenarios) and uses, and send them to the sending module and receiving module. Calibration mode selection and execution is based on static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, and selects and executes the corresponding calibration mode, including leakage calibration mode, calibration calibration mode and extended calibration mode, and outputs the calibrated information to ensure the adaptability and robustness of the system in different scenarios.
[0019] On this basis, the host computer works with the sending module and the receiving module, including parameter sending and reporting, dynamic adjustment and calibration, and dynamic target tracking. In terms of parameter sending and reporting, the host computer sends environmental parameters to the sending module and the receiving module. The sending module reports the R spectrum information corresponding to the beam coverage range to the host computer based on the received environmental parameters; the receiving module reports the uplink power gain parameters corresponding to each beam to the host computer based on the received environmental parameters. In this way, the host computer can fully grasp the working status of the sending module and the receiving module. Among them, the R spectrum (Range Spectrum) refers to the spectrum information related to the target distance obtained after the received time domain signal is converted into a frequency domain signal through signal processing technology (such as fast Fourier transform, FFT).
[0020] In terms of dynamic adjustment and calibration, the sending module dynamically adjusts the beam configuration parameters and power parameters according to the calibration mode and reported information to meet the needs of the deployment scenario. The receiving module filters invalid spatial path information (including distance, delay, angle and speed) according to the calibration mode and reported information, retains valid information, and performs real-time delay error correction on the signal propagation path (including direct path, reflection path, etc.) based on the valid information. In terms of dynamic target tracking, in dynamic or mixed scenarios, the receiving module continuously tracks the dynamic changes of dynamic targets, obtains their real-time dynamic target information, and further optimizes the calibration results based on this information. At the same time, the sending module dynamically adjusts the direction and coverage of the sending beam according to the feedback information of the receiving module to ensure the system's accurate tracking of dynamic targets.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of the calibration method of the millimeter wave sensing system of the present application is as follows. A calibration method of the millimeter wave sensing system comprises: S210, receiving beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the RF transceiver module, sensing static reflector position information and dynamic target information in the environment, and transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario.
[0022] Specifically, the parameters of the RF transceiver module include beam configuration parameters and power parameters. Among them, the beam configuration parameters include the direction, width and coverage of the beam, which are used to determine the transmission and reception range of the signal; the power parameters include the transmission power and receiving gain, which are used to ensure the effective transmission and reception of the signal in a specific environment. The perceived environment information includes static reflector position information and dynamic target information. Among them, the static reflector position information refers to the position information of fixed reflectors (such as walls, buildings, etc.) in the environment, which is used to calibrate the system's perception of static targets; dynamic target information refers to the position and speed information of mobile targets (such as vehicles, pedestrians, etc.) in the environment, which is used to calibrate the system's perception of dynamic targets. The deployment scenario requirements include transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements. The transmission power requirement is the transmission power determined according to the specific requirements of the deployment scenario (such as coverage, signal strength, etc.); the beam coverage requirement is the beam coverage determined according to the specific requirements of the deployment scenario (such as the size and shape of the target area, etc.).
[0023] The host computer receives and analyzes beam configuration parameters, power parameters, static reflector location information, dynamic target information, transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements, confirms the conditions for transmitting the beam and the adjustment of the downlink gain; the RF transceiver module filters out-of-range information based on the beam coverage requirements and transmission power requirements; the host computer confirms the range of beam configuration parameters and power parameters based on the transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements, and sends them to the RF transceiver module.
[0024] S220, dynamically adjust the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the RF transceiver module according to the preset calibration mode and the reporting information of each calibration feedback to meet the beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario.
[0025] Among them, the calibration mode includes leakage calibration mode, calibration mode and extended calibration mode; the reported information includes the R spectrum information corresponding to the beam coverage range sent by the upper computer, and the uplink power gain parameters corresponding to each beam.
[0026] Specifically, the definitions and functions of the three calibration modes are as follows: The leakage calibration mode does not rely on environmental information and is mainly used to calibrate signal leakage within the system. It detects the strength, delay and angle of the leakage signal through the RF transceiver module, and corrects the delay error and angle error in real time. It is suitable for dynamic target detection in dynamic scenes. The calibration mode relies on the static target information in the environment and is used to calibrate the system's perception of static targets. It detects the distance, delay and angle of static reflectors by scanning the beam angle by angle, and corrects the delay error and angle error based on the known position of the static reflector. It is suitable for stationary target detection in static scenes. The extended calibration mode relies on the information of non-rigid targets (such as micro-motion targets) in the environment and is used to calibrate the system's perception of dynamic targets. It expands the beam coverage by configuring the maximum vertical or horizontal expansion angle, and corrects the angle error based on the expansion angle configuration. It is suitable for multi-target detection in mixed scenes.
[0027] In addition, the RF transceiver module dynamically adjusts its beam configuration parameters and power parameters according to the preset calibration mode and the reported information fed back by each calibration (such as R spectrum information and uplink power gain parameters) to ensure that the system can meet the beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario. Specifically, in the leakage calibration mode, the RF transceiver module configures a set of beams with a preset maximum horizontal or vertical angle range, scans and reports data, and the host computer selects the effective leakage beam range that meets the beam coverage requirements based on the reported information, and sends down the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters; in the calibration mode, the RF transceiver module scans the beam angle by angle, detects static reflectors, and corrects the delay error based on the known position and reported information of the static reflectors; in the extended calibration mode, the RF transceiver module configures the maximum vertical or horizontal extension angle, expands the beam coverage, and corrects the angle error based on the extended angle and reported information.
[0028] S230, according to the type of the perception scene, based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters, perform real-time delay error correction on the signal propagation path, and track the dynamic changes of the dynamic target when it exists, so as to obtain its real-time dynamic target information. Specifically including step S2301 and step S2302: S2301, filtering invalid spatial path information based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters; the spatial path information includes distance, delay, angle and speed.
[0029] Specifically, based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters, invalid spatial path information (such as distance, delay, angle and speed) is filtered out, and valid information is retained. Invalid information includes erroneous data caused by environmental interference or system errors. For example, in leakage calibration mode, R spectrum information that does not conform to the zero-speed position or is less than the preset threshold is filtered out; in calibration mode, based on the known position and preset threshold of static reflectors, spatial path information that does not conform to the characteristics of static targets is filtered out; in extended calibration mode, the speed dimension is used for further limitation to filter out stationary targets or targets at the same distance but different speeds. Valid information refers to spatial path information that meets the calibration requirements and is used for subsequent calibration and error correction.
[0030] S2302: According to the type of the perceived scene and based on the filtered effective spatial path information, perform real-time delay error correction on the signal propagation path.
[0031] Specifically, in static scenes, based on the filtered effective spatial path information, the signal propagation path (such as direct path, reflected path, etc.) is corrected for real-time delay errors. Specifically, the delay error can be corrected through the known position of the static reflector; in dynamic scenes, based on the filtered effective spatial path information, the signal propagation path is corrected for real-time delay errors. Specifically, the delay error can be corrected in real time through the speed dimension information, and the dynamic changes of dynamic targets are continuously tracked; in mixed scenes, the movement direction and speed of the dynamic target are further combined to calibrate the speed deviation caused by the beam scanning cycle delay to obtain its real-time dynamic target information, and the calibration results are further optimized based on this information.
[0032] Among them, static scene refers to the scene with only static reflectors (such as walls, obstacles, etc.), and the signal propagation path mainly includes direct path and reflection path. Delay error correction is based on the known position information of static reflectors. Dynamic scene refers to the scene with dynamic targets (such as moving objects), and the signal propagation path may include scattered path. Delay error correction is based on speed dimension information and continuously tracks the dynamic changes of dynamic targets. Mixed scene refers to the scene with both static reflectors and dynamic targets. Delay error correction needs to combine the movement direction and speed information of dynamic targets to calibrate the speed deviation caused by the delay of beam scanning cycle. Signal propagation path refers to all paths that the signal passes from the transmitter to the receiver, including direct path, reflection path (such as passing through static reflectors such as walls and obstacles) and scattered path (such as passing through dynamic targets). Delay error correction is based on the propagation characteristics of these paths. Because the dynamic changes of dynamic targets will affect the signal propagation path, it is necessary to track the changes of dynamic targets and optimize the calibration results.
[0033] S240, adjusting the transmission power of the RF transceiver module according to the transmission power requirement of the deployment scenario, selecting to execute a corresponding calibration mode based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, and outputting the calibrated information.
[0034] Specifically, according to the transmit power requirements of the deployment scenario, the transmit power of the RF transceiver module is adjusted, including configuring different transmit power backoff mechanisms, testing the effects of different transmit power backoff mechanisms in a deployment environment where multiple sensing modules coexist, and analyzing multiple groups of test results (such as evaluating the impact of different power backoff mechanisms on signal coverage, interference level, energy consumption, etc. to determine which mechanism is most suitable for the current environment); by reporting link gain, restoring digital gain, and optimizing the configuration parameters of the transmit power based on the analysis results (such as determining the optimal power backoff value, power adjustment frequency, etc.) to ensure effective transmission of the signal in a specific environment, so that the RF transceiver module can achieve stable and efficient signal transmission in the current deployment environment. Among them, the transmit power backoff mechanism refers to a strategy in which the transmit power can be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs in the RF transceiver module. For example, in some scenarios, the transmit power may need to be reduced to reduce interference or save energy consumption, while in other scenarios, the transmit power may need to be increased to ensure signal coverage. Configuring different mechanisms means designing and applying multiple power adjustment strategies, such as fixed power backoff, dynamic power backoff, or adaptive power backoff based on environmental feedback, according to the specific needs of the deployment scenario.
[0035] Based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, the corresponding calibration mode is selected: in dynamic scenes, the leakage calibration mode is selected based on the dynamic target information to detect dynamic targets and correct the delay error; in static scenes, the calibration mode is selected based on the static reflector position information to detect stationary targets and correct the delay error; in mixed scenes, the extended calibration mode is selected based on the static reflector position information and the dynamic target information to detect mixed targets and correct the angle error. The output of the calibrated information includes: in the leakage calibration mode, the delay error information is output; in the calibration mode, the delay error information based on the static reflector is output; in the extended calibration mode, the delay error and speed deviation information based on the dynamic target are output for further optimization and adjustment of the system.
[0036] In summary, the role of step S210 is to provide comprehensive input data for the calibration process, including system parameters, environmental information and scenario requirements. The role of step S220 is to optimize the performance of the RF transceiver module by dynamically adjusting the system parameters, ensuring that the system can adapt to different deployment scenarios and calibration requirements. The role of step S230 is to clean up the data to ensure that subsequent calibration and error correction processes are based on accurate and effective information. The role of step 240 is to improve the system's perception of static and dynamic targets through error correction and target tracking, and ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of the system in different scenarios. The role of step 250 is to ensure that the system can adapt to specific deployment scenarios and environmental requirements by adjusting the transmit power and selecting the calibration mode, and output the calibrated information to provide support for continuous optimization of the system.
[0037] Through the synergistic effect of the above steps, the present application implements a calibration method for a millimeter wave sensing system, which can dynamically adjust system parameters, filter invalid information, perform real-time error correction, and output calibrated information according to the requirements of the deployment scenario and environmental information, thereby ensuring the adaptability and robustness of the system in different scenarios.
[0038] The following is a detailed description with reference to the embodiments.
[0039] Embodiment 1: In Example 1, the system obtains the shortest leakage path by scanning the beam in leakage calibration mode, and performs delay calibration based on the path. This method does not need to rely on target reflectors or exclude other reflection paths, and can directly correct the delay between transceiver devices when the devices are independent. By optimizing the beam configuration parameters of the RF transceiver module, this method effectively reduces the interference of signal leakage on the main beam and significantly improves the stability and efficiency of signal transmission.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3ais a schematic diagram of a scanning beam in Embodiment 1 of the present application, Figure 3b It is a flow chart of the calibration method in the leakage calibration mode of the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 3a In the figure, TX represents the transmitting module and RX represents the receiving module, which together constitute the core components of the RF transceiver module. Other beam transmission directions represent the transmission directions of other beams besides the main beam, which can be used for multipath signal processing or interference suppression. Corrected beam direction represents the calibrated beam direction, which is used to optimize signal transmission and reception performance. Figure 3b The calibration process is as follows: S301, scene information is sent.
[0041] The system receives the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the RF transceiver module, as well as the location information of static reflectors and dynamic target information in the sensing environment. This information provides basic data for subsequent calibration and optimization, ensuring that the calibration process can be dynamically adjusted for specific scenarios. The scenario information includes the upper and lower thresholds of spatial path information (such as distance, delay, angle, and speed), leakage beam transceiver angles, and shielded beam information, and also covers the transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario. Among them, the leakage beam transceiver angle refers to the direction information of the leakage beam outside the main beam when the RF transceiver module transmits or receives signals. The leakage beam is caused by the non-ideal characteristics of the antenna array (such as the sidelobe effect), which may cause interference or energy loss to the signal transmission. The shielded beam information refers to the beam configuration parameters and direction information used to suppress interference signals. The purpose of the shielded beam is to block or weaken interference signals from a specific direction by adjusting the direction and parameters of the beam, thereby improving the signal quality of the main beam.
[0042] S302, calibrate beam configuration.
[0043] The system dynamically adjusts the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the RF transceiver module according to the preset calibration modes (such as leakage calibration mode, calibration calibration mode, and extended calibration mode) and the R spectrum information and uplink power gain parameters corresponding to the beam coverage range sent by the host computer. In order to obtain the shortest leakage path, the beam configuration needs to set the transmit and receive directions to the opposite direction. This step ensures that the beam configuration can meet the beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario and optimize the efficiency and stability of signal transmission.
[0044] S303, filtering invalid spatial diameter information.
[0045] During the calibration beam configuration phase, the system dynamically adjusts the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the RF transceiver module according to the preset calibration mode and the R spectrum information and uplink power gain parameters corresponding to the beam coverage range sent by the host computer. By filtering invalid spatial path information (such as distance, delay, angle and speed), the system ensures the accuracy of beam configuration and optimizes the efficiency and stability of signal transmission.
[0046] S304, calibrate shielding beam configuration.
[0047] The purpose of calibrating the shield beam configuration is to suppress interference signals from other directions by configuring the direction and parameters of the shield beam. Based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters, the system filters invalid spatial path information to ensure that the signal reception of the main beam is not interfered with, thereby improving the overall signal quality. The shield beam information is clearly stated in the sent scene information to ensure the accuracy of the shield beam configuration.
[0048] S305, signal 1 calibration configuration.
[0049] During the calibration configuration phase of signal 1, the system adjusts the transmit power, frequency and other parameters of signal 1 according to the scene information and beam configuration. Considering that the perception modules are easily saturated when deployed together, the system can try different transmit power backoffs. The signal processing module or calibration function module integrates multiple sets of power backoff results to optimize the transmission performance of signal 1. The calibration configuration is based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, and selects the corresponding calibration mode to ensure that signal 1 remains stable and efficient during transmission.
[0050] S306, signal 2 calibration configuration.
[0051] The calibration configuration of signal 2 is similar to that of signal 1. The system adjusts the transmit power, frequency and other parameters of signal 2 according to the scene information and beam configuration. Also, considering that the perception modules are easily saturated when deployed together, the system can try different transmit power backoffs. The signal processing module or calibration function module integrates multiple sets of power backoff results to optimize the transmission performance of signal 2. The calibration configuration is also based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, and selects the corresponding calibration mode to ensure that signal 2 remains stable and efficient during transmission.
[0052] S307, calibrate data transmission and reception.
[0053] During the correction data transmission and reception phase, the system sends and receives correction data to test the effects of beam configuration and calibration parameters. This step is used to verify the accuracy of the calibration and ensure that the signal transmission quality reaches the expected target. The correction data includes the R spectrum information corresponding to the beam coverage range and the uplink power gain parameters corresponding to each beam, providing a basis for subsequent calibration parameter reporting. Considering that the first effective path needs to be obtained between multiple beams and different configurations, the system focuses on the accuracy of the first effective path when sending and receiving correction data.
[0054] It should be noted that in wireless communication, there is usually more than one propagation path for the signal from the transmitter to the receiver. Due to reflection, refraction, scattering and other phenomena, the signal will reach the receiver through multiple paths. This phenomenon is called multipath propagation. The propagation distance, delay, attenuation and phase of each path are different, resulting in the signal received by the receiver being the superposition of multiple path signals. In a multipath propagation environment, the first effective path is the effective signal path that first reaches the receiver in the multipath propagation environment, and has the characteristics of the shortest propagation time, the strongest signal strength and the lowest delay. It plays an important role in signal synchronization, channel estimation and interference suppression, and is a key reference indicator in the calibration and optimization of RF transceiver modules. By detecting and optimizing the first effective path, the system can significantly improve the signal transmission performance and adapt to complex wireless communication environments.
[0055] S308, reporting correction parameters.
[0056] Based on the calibration data, the system generates and reports calibration parameters. These parameters reflect the actual effect of the calibration and provide an important basis for further optimizing the system configuration. The calibration parameters include the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters to ensure that the calibration results can be continuously improved to meet the needs of the deployment scenario. During the calibration parameter reporting phase, the system filters invalid calibration parameters based on the scenario information sent down to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the reported parameters.
[0057] S309: reporting gain parameters.
[0058] During the gain parameter reporting phase, the system reports link gain data to reflect the gain of the signal during transmission. Based on this data, the system restores the digital gain to ensure the accuracy and performance of the signal processing module.

[0093] In summary, the leakage calibration mode of Embodiment 1 is applicable to scenarios where leakage interference exists during signal transmission, such as signal leakage to non-target areas, resulting in multipath interference or energy waste. This mode uses the signal leaked from the transmitter to the receiver to confirm the shortest path delay. Its principle is based on the fact that when the equipment is installed and fixed, the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is a known installation parameter. The leakage distance is calculated through the leakage path and compared with the distance from the transmitter to the receiver to achieve delay calibration. The calibration process includes scanning the beam to obtain the shortest leakage path, optimizing the beam configuration through delay calibration, and filtering invalid spatial path information to ensure calibration accuracy.
[0094] The calibration mode of Example 2 is applicable to scenes where the target is static, such as environmental reflectors as calibration targets.
