[0002] Currently, millimeter-wave-based sensing systems are mainly divided into two types: integrated transceiver and distributed, according to application scenarios and technical characteristics. Among them, the distributed system is widely used due to the advantages of small size of a single transceiver port, flexible layout, and wide application scenarios. However, the distributed system faces the problem of time-delay deviation in the transceiver link, and its causes include the synchronization mechanism of transceiver devices, frequency offset between two devices, and hardware performance differences. Although there are many mature and reliable solutions for the synchronization mechanism of two devices, these solutions mainly focus on the devices themselves. Due to different hardware performances of transceiver devices, the calibration results will be asynchronous, and from the perspective of the overall transceiver system, there will still be a large difference in transceiver time delay.

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0027] The present application aims at the time delay calibration problem in a distributed millimeter-wave sensing system, and proposes a calibration method and device. In a distributed millimeter-wave sensing system, factors such as hardware circuit differences, device performance fluctuations, and environmental dynamic changes will cause signal transmission time delay errors, reducing the system sensing accuracy and real-time performance. For this reason, the present application provides a solution that can dynamically adjust parameters, correct time delay errors in real time, and enhance the system adaptability.
[0028] The present application realizes the filtering of invalid space path information, the real-time time delay error correction of the signal propagation path (including all paths that the signal passes from the transmitter to the receiver, such as direct paths, reflection paths, etc.), and the tracking of dynamic changes of dynamic targets by dynamically adjusting beam configuration parameters and power parameters, in combination with preset calibration modes and reported 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 hybrid scenarios, and providing an efficient and accurate time delay calibration solution for the distributed millimeter-wave sensing system.
[0029] The following will be combined with the attached Figures 1 to 6 to specifically describe the present application.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which 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 transmitting module and its transmitting circuit, and a host computer and its environmental parameter configuration unit. Among them, the receiving module and its receiving circuit and the transmitting module and its transmitting circuit are collectively referred to as the radio frequency transceiver module; the host computer and its environmental parameter configuration unit are collectively referred to as the host computer. The host computer is responsible for the configuration and distribution of environmental parameters, and the processing and analysis of received data.
[0031] Exemplarily, the main function of the transmitting module is to receive the environmental parameters sent by the host computer, including the transmission power requirement and the beam coverage range requirement, and report the parameters to the host computer. The transmitting 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 range of the transmitting beam. The digital processing unit is used to process the 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 transmitting module include analyzing the environmental parameters, confirming the conditions for the transmitting beam, and dynamically adjusting the power parameters according to the transmission power requirement to meet the requirements of the deployment scenario.
[0032] Exemplarily, the main function of the receiving module is to receive the environmental parameters sent by the host computer, including the static reflector position information and the dynamic target information, and report the 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 range of the receiving beam. The digital processing unit is used to process the 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 range requirement and send the uplink data to the receiving circuit. The core functions of the receiving module include analyzing the environmental parameters, filtering out invalid information that exceeds the required range and affects the calibration accuracy, and filtering out invalid spatial path information (including distance, time delay, angle, and speed) based on the beam configuration parameters and power parameters, and retaining the valid information.
[0033] 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 the transmission power requirement, beam coverage range requirement, 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 radio frequency transceiver module, perform RVA (Range-Velocity-Angle) estimation, analyze and judge the received data, and confirm the range of the environmental parameters in combination with the specific calibration scenario (such as static scenario, dynamic scenario, or hybrid scenario) and usage, and send them to the transmitting module and the receiving module. Calibration mode selection and execution is to select and execute the corresponding calibration mode based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, including the leakage calibration mode, the calibration calibration mode, and the extended calibration mode, and output the calibrated information to ensure the adaptability and robustness of the system in different scenarios.
[0034] On this basis, the host computer works in coordination with the sending module and the receiving module, including parameter distribution and reporting, dynamic adjustment and calibration, and dynamic target tracking. In terms of parameter distribution and reporting, the host computer distributes 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 according to the received environmental parameters; the receiving module reports the uplink power gain parameters corresponding to each beam to the host computer according to the received environmental parameters. In this way, the host computer can comprehensively understand the working status of the sending module and the receiving module. Among them, the R-spectrum (Range Spectrum) refers to the spectral information related to the target distance obtained after converting the received time-domain signal into a frequency-domain signal through signal processing technologies (such as fast Fourier transform, FFT).
[0035] 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 the reported information to meet the requirements of the deployment scenario. The receiving module filters out invalid spatial path information (including distance, time delay, angle, and speed) according to the calibration mode and the reported information, retains the valid information, and performs real-time 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 a dynamic scenario or a mixed scenario, the receiving module continuously tracks the dynamic changes of the dynamic target, obtains its real-time dynamic target information, and further optimizes the calibration result based on this information. At the same time, the sending module dynamically adjusts the direction and coverage range of the sending beam according to the feedback information of the receiving module to ensure the accurate tracking of the dynamic target by the system.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the flowchart of the calibration method of the millimeter-wave sensing system of the present application. A calibration method for a millimeter-wave sensing system includes:
[0037] S210, receiving the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the radio frequency transceiver module, the position information of static reflectors and dynamic target information in the sensing environment, and the transmission power requirement and beam coverage requirement of the deployment scenario.
[0038] Specifically, the parameters of the radio frequency transceiver module include beam configuration parameters and power parameters. Among them, the beam configuration parameters include the direction, width, and coverage range of the beam, which are used to determine the signal transmission and reception range; the power parameters include the transmission power and reception gain, which are used to ensure the effective transmission and reception of signals in a specific environment. The perceived environmental 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 ability of static targets; the dynamic target information refers to the position and speed information of moving targets (such as vehicles, pedestrians, etc.) in the environment, which is used to calibrate the system's perception ability of dynamic targets. The deployment scenario requirements include transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements. The transmission power requirements are the transmission power determined according to the specific requirements of the deployment scenario (such as coverage range, signal strength, etc.); the beam coverage requirements are the beam coverage range determined according to the specific requirements of the deployment scenario (such as the size and shape of the target area, etc.).
[0039] The host computer receives and analyzes the beam configuration parameters, power parameters, static reflector position information, dynamic target information, transmission power requirements, and beam coverage requirements, and confirms the conditions for transmitting the beam and the adjustment of the downlink gain; the radio frequency transceiver module filters out-of-range information based on the beam coverage requirements and transmission power requirements; the host computer combines the transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements, confirms the ranges of the beam configuration parameters and power parameters, and issues them to the radio frequency transceiver module.
[0040] S220, dynamically adjust the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the radio frequency transceiver module according to the preset calibration mode and the reported information feedback for each calibration to meet the beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario.
[0041] Among them, the calibration modes include leakage calibration mode, calibration calibration mode, and extended calibration mode; the reported information includes the R-spectrum information corresponding to the beam coverage range issued by the host computer, and the uplink power gain parameters corresponding to each beam.
[0042] 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 inside the system. By detecting the intensity, time delay, and angle of the leakage signal through the radio frequency transceiver module, the time delay error and angle error are corrected in real time, which is applicable to dynamic target detection in dynamic scenarios. The calibration mode depends on the static target information in the environment and is used to calibrate the system's perception ability of static targets. By scanning the beam at each angle to detect the distance, time delay, and angle of the static reflector, and correcting the time delay error and angle error based on the known position of the static reflector, it is applicable to static target detection in static scenarios. The extended calibration mode depends on the information of non-rigid targets (such as micro-moving targets) in the environment and is used to calibrate the system's perception ability of dynamic targets. By configuring the maximum vertical or horizontal expansion angle to expand the beam coverage range, and correcting the angle error based on the configured expansion angle, it is applicable to multi-target detection in mixed scenarios.
[0043] In addition, the radio frequency transceiver module dynamically adjusts its beam configuration parameters and power parameters according to the preset calibration mode and the reported information (such as R-spectrum information and uplink power gain parameters) feedback from each calibration to ensure that the system can meet the beam coverage range requirements of the deployment scenario. Specifically, in the leakage calibration mode, the radio frequency transceiver module configures a set of beams within the preset maximum horizontal or vertical angle range, scans and reports data, and the host computer filters the effective leakage beam range that meets the beam coverage range requirements based on the reported information, and then issues the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters; in the calibration mode, the radio frequency transceiver module scans the beam at each angle, detects the static reflector, and corrects the time delay error based on the known position of the static reflector and the reported information; in the extended calibration mode, the radio frequency transceiver module configures the maximum vertical or horizontal expansion angle to expand the beam coverage range, and corrects the angle error based on the expansion angle and the reported information.
[0044] S230. According to the type of the sensing scenario, based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters, perform real-time time delay error correction on the signal propagation path, and track its dynamic changes when there are dynamic targets to obtain their real-time dynamic target information. Specifically, it includes step S2301 and step S2302:
[0045] S2301. Based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters, filter out invalid spatial path information; the spatial path information includes distance, time delay, angle, and speed.
[0046] Specifically, based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters, filter out invalid spatial path information (such as distance, time delay, angle, and speed), and retain the valid information. The invalid information includes error data caused by environmental interference or system errors. For example, in the leakage calibration mode, filter out the R-spectrum information that does not conform to the zero-speed position or is less than the preset threshold; in the calibration mode, based on the known position of the static reflector and the preset threshold, filter out the spatial path information that does not conform to the characteristics of the static target; in the extended calibration mode, use the speed dimension to further limit and filter out stationary targets or targets with the same distance but different speeds. The valid information refers to the spatial path information that meets the calibration requirements and is used for subsequent calibration and error correction.
[0047] S2302, according to the type of the sensing scenario, based on the filtered valid spatial path information, perform real-time time-delay error correction on the signal propagation path.
[0048] Specifically, in a static scenario, based on the filtered valid spatial path information, perform real-time time-delay error correction on the signal propagation path (such as the direct path, reflection path, etc.). Specifically, the time-delay error can be corrected through the known position of the static reflector; in a dynamic scenario, based on the filtered valid spatial path information, perform real-time time-delay error correction on the signal propagation path. Specifically, the time-delay error can be corrected in real time through the speed dimension information, and continuously track the dynamic changes of the dynamic target; in a mixed scenario, further combine the motion direction and speed of the dynamic target to calibrate the speed deviation caused by the beam scanning period delay to obtain its real-time dynamic target information, and further optimize the calibration result based on this information.
[0049] Among them, a static scenario refers to a scenario where only static reflectors (such as walls, obstacles, etc.) exist, and the signal propagation path mainly includes the direct path and the reflection path. The time-delay error correction is based on the known position information of the static reflector. A dynamic scenario refers to a scenario where dynamic targets (such as moving objects) exist, and the signal propagation path may include the scattering path. The time-delay error correction is based on the speed dimension information and continuously tracks the dynamic changes of the dynamic target. A mixed scenario refers to a scenario where both static reflectors and dynamic targets exist. The time-delay error correction needs to combine the motion direction and speed information of the dynamic target to calibrate the speed deviation caused by the beam scanning period delay. The signal propagation path refers to all paths that the signal passes through from the transmitter to the receiver, including the direct path, the reflection path (such as passing through static reflectors such as walls and obstacles), and the scattering path (such as passing through dynamic targets). The time-delay error correction is performed according to the propagation characteristics of these paths. Because the dynamic changes of the dynamic target will affect the signal propagation path, it is necessary to track the changes of the dynamic target and optimize the calibration result.
[0050] S240. Adjust the transmission power of the RF transceiver module according to the transmission power requirements of the deployment scenario. Based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, select and execute the corresponding calibration mode, and output the calibrated information.
[0051] Specifically, adjust the transmission power of the RF transceiver module according to the transmission power requirements of the deployment scenario, which specifically includes configuring different transmission power back-off mechanisms and testing the effects of different transmission power back-off mechanisms in a deployment environment where multiple sensing modules coexist. Analyze based on multiple groups of test results (such as evaluating the impacts of different power back-off mechanisms on aspects such as signal coverage, interference level, and energy consumption to determine which mechanism is most suitable for the current environment); restore the digital gain by reporting the link gain, and optimize the configuration parameters of the transmission power based on the analysis results (such as determining the optimal power back-off value, power adjustment frequency, etc.) to ensure the effective transmission of signals in a specific environment, enabling the RF transceiver module to achieve stable and efficient signal transmission in the current deployment environment. Among them, the transmission power back-off mechanism refers to a strategy in the RF transceiver module that can dynamically adjust the transmission power according to actual needs. For example, in some scenarios, it may be necessary to reduce the transmission power to reduce interference or save energy consumption, while in other scenarios, it may be necessary to increase the transmission power to ensure signal coverage. Configuring different mechanisms means designing and applying multiple power adjustment strategies according to the specific requirements of the deployment scenario, such as fixed power back-off, dynamic power back-off, or adaptive power back-off based on environmental feedback.
[0052] Based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information, select and execute the corresponding calibration mode: In a dynamic scenario, select and execute the leakage calibration mode based on the dynamic target information to detect dynamic targets and correct the time-delay error; in a static scenario, select and execute the calibration calibration mode based on the static reflector position information to detect stationary targets and correct the time-delay error; in a mixed scenario, select and execute the extended calibration mode based on the static reflector position information and dynamic target information to detect mixed targets and correct the angle error. The output of the calibrated information includes: in the leakage calibration mode, output the time-delay error information; in the calibration calibration mode, output the time-delay error information based on the static reflector; in the extended calibration mode, output the time-delay error and speed deviation information based on the dynamic target for further optimization and adjustment of the system.
[0053] In summary, the function of step S210 is to provide comprehensive input data for the calibration process, including system parameters, environmental information, and scenario requirements. The function of step S220 is to optimize the performance of the RF transceiver module by dynamically adjusting system parameters, ensuring that the system can adapt to different deployment scenarios and calibration requirements. The function of step S230 is to clean the data to ensure that the subsequent calibration and error correction processes are based on accurate and valid information. The function of step 240 is to improve the system's perception ability of static and dynamic targets through error correction and target tracking, ensuring the accuracy and real-time performance of the system in different scenarios. The function of step 250 is to ensure that the system can adapt to specific deployment scenarios and environmental requirements by adjusting the transmission power and selecting the calibration mode, and output the calibrated information to support the continuous optimization of the system.
[0054] Through the collaborative effect of the above steps, this application realizes a calibration method for a millimeter-wave sensing system, which can dynamically adjust system parameters according to the requirements of the deployment scenario and environmental information, filter invalid information, perform real-time error correction, and output the calibrated information to ensure the adaptability and robustness of the system in different scenarios.
[0055] The following is a specific description in conjunction with embodiments.
[0056] Embodiment 1:
[0057] In Embodiment 1, in the leakage calibration mode, the system obtains the shortest leakage path by scanning the beam and performs time-delay calibration based on this path. This method does not need to rely on target reflectors or exclude other reflection paths, and can directly correct the time delay between the transceiver devices independently of the device. 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.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 3a 、 Figure 3b , Figure 3a which is a schematic diagram of the scanning beam in Embodiment 1 of this application, Figure 3b and which is a flowchart of the calibration method in the leakage calibration mode in Embodiment 1 of this application. Figure 3a In , TX represents the transmitting module, RX represents the receiving module, and the two together constitute the core components of the RF transceiver module. The other beam emission directions represent the emission directions of other beams except the main beam, which can be used for multipath signal processing or interference suppression. The corrected beam direction represents the beam direction after calibration, which is used to optimize the signal transmission and reception performance. Figure 3b The calibration process of is as follows:
[0059] S301, scene information is sent down.
[0060] The system receives the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the radio frequency transceiver module, as well as the position information of static reflectors and dynamic target information in the sensing environment. These information provide the basic data for subsequent calibration and optimization, ensuring that the calibration process can be dynamically adjusted according to the specific scenario. The scenario information includes the upper and lower thresholds of spatial path information (such as distance, time delay, angle, and speed), the transceiver angles of the leakage beam, and the shielding beam information, and also covers the transmission power requirements and beam coverage requirements of the deployment scenario. Among them, the transceiver angle of the leakage beam refers to the direction information of the leakage beam outside the main beam when the radio frequency transceiver module transmits or receives signals. The leakage beam is generated due to the non-ideal characteristics of the antenna array (such as sidelobe effect), which may cause interference or energy loss to signal transmission. The shielding beam information refers to the beam configuration parameters and direction information used to suppress interference signals. The purpose of the shielding beam is to block or weaken the interference signals from specific directions by adjusting the direction and parameters of the beam, thereby improving the signal quality of the main beam.
[0061] S302, Calibrate the beam configuration.
[0062] The system dynamically adjusts the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the radio frequency transceiver module according to the preset calibration modes (such as leakage calibration mode, calibration calibration mode, and extended calibration mode), as well as the R-spectrum information and uplink power gain parameters corresponding to the beam coverage range sent by the upper computer. In order to obtain the shortest leakage path, the beam configuration needs to set the transceiver directions to opposite directions. 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.
[0063] S303, Filter out invalid spatial path information.
[0064] During the calibration beam configuration stage, the system dynamically adjusts the beam configuration parameters and power parameters of the radio frequency transceiver module according to the preset calibration modes, as well as the R-spectrum information and uplink power gain parameters corresponding to the beam coverage range sent by the upper computer. By filtering out invalid spatial path information (such as distance, time delay, angle, and speed), the system ensures the accuracy of the beam configuration and optimizes the efficiency and stability of signal transmission.
[0065] S304, Calibrate the shielding beam configuration.
[0066] The purpose of calibrating the shielding beam configuration is to suppress interference signals from other directions by configuring the direction and parameters of the shielding beam. The system filters out invalid spatial path information based on the adjusted beam configuration parameters and power parameters to ensure that the signal reception of the main beam is not interfered, thereby improving the overall signal quality. The shielding beam information has been clearly defined in the sent scenario information to ensure the accuracy of the shielding beam configuration.
[0067] S305, Calibrate the signal 1 configuration.
[0068] In the signal 1 calibration configuration phase, the system adjusts parameters such as the transmission power and frequency of signal 1 according to the scenario information and beam configuration. Considering that the co-deployment of the sensing modules is prone to saturation, the system can try different transmission power backoffs, and the signal processing module or the calibration function module synthesizes the results of multiple groups of power backoffs to optimize the transmission performance of signal 1. The calibration configuration is based on the static reflector position information and / or dynamic target information to select and execute the corresponding calibration mode to ensure that signal 1 remains stable and efficient during transmission.
[0069] S306, Signal 2 calibration configuration.
[0070] The signal 2 calibration configuration is similar to that of signal 1. The system adjusts parameters such as the transmission power and frequency of signal 2 according to the scenario information and beam configuration. Similarly, considering that the co-deployment of the sensing modules is prone to saturation, the system can try different transmission power backoffs, and the signal processing module or the calibration function module synthesizes the results of multiple groups of power backoffs 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 to select and execute the corresponding calibration mode to ensure that signal 2 remains stable and efficient during transmission.
[0071] S307, Calibration data transmission and reception.
[0072] In the calibration data transmission and reception phase, the system transmits and receives calibration data to test the effects of the beam configuration and calibration parameters. This step is used to verify the accuracy of the calibration to ensure that the signal transmission quality reaches the expected goal. The calibration 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 the subsequent reporting of calibration parameters. Considering that it is necessary to obtain the first effective path among multiple beams and different configurations, the system focuses on the accuracy of the first effective path when transmitting and receiving calibration data.
[0073] It should be noted that in wireless communication, the propagation path of a signal from the transmitter to the receiver usually has more than one. Due to phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and scattering, the signal will reach the receiver through multiple paths, and this phenomenon is called multipath propagation. The propagation distance, time delay, attenuation, and phase of each path are different, resulting in the signal received at the receiver being the superposition of signals from multiple paths. In a multipath propagation environment, the first effective path is the effective signal path that reaches the receiver first in the multipath propagation environment, characterized by the shortest propagation time, the strongest signal intensity, and the lowest time delay. It plays an important role in signal synchronization, channel estimation, and interference suppression, and is a key reference index in the calibration and optimization of the radio frequency transceiver module. By detecting and optimizing the first effective path, the system can significantly improve the signal transmission performance and adapt to complex wireless communication environments.
