Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar antenna testing, and more specifically, to a method and system for testing an automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna. Background Art
[0002] The patent application with the publication number CN117805748A discloses a method and system for testing automotive millimeter-wave radar antennas. The steps of the method are as follows: S1, setting the first radar at the first station and configuring the transmission waveform of the first radar; S2, setting the radar to be tested at the second station, setting the interval L between the first station and the second station, configuring the transmission channel of the radar to be tested, and traversing each transmission channel to transmit a point frequency signal; S3, the first radar samples the point frequency signal emitted by the radar to be tested through the signal receiving channel in the peak smoothing section of the transmission waveform to obtain a sampling signal, processes the sampling signal to obtain a heat map, and obtains the antenna reference power based on the heat map; S4, based on the antenna reference power, judges whether the antenna performance of the radar to be tested meets the standard. The invention proposes a method and system for testing automotive millimeter-wave radar antennas, which can realize the test of the radio frequency index items of millimeter-wave radars and improve the test accuracy and test efficiency.
[0003] However, in the process of symmetry analysis of the angle-power value pattern, the traditional method performs symmetry analysis on the angle-power value pattern by comparing the side lobes on the left and right sides. This method is not precise enough. In addition to the side lobes on the left and right sides, there are other curves that are not compared, which reduces the accuracy of the symmetry analysis, and then reduces the precision and accuracy of the test. When the car behind the car changes from one speed to another, there are many ways of changing, such as changing slowly all the time or changing quickly directly or changing quickly first and then changing slowly, etc. The speed change method detected by the car's radar and the actual speed change method are too different, which may cause safety accidents and lead to rear-end collisions and other traffic accidents. Failure to use the difference between the speed change method detected by the car's radar and the actual speed change method as a test factor will lead to reduced precision and accuracy of the test, resulting in the use of millimeter-wave radar antennas that have not passed the test, thereby increasing the risk of rear-end collisions and other traffic accidents.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a vehicle millimeter wave radar antenna testing method and antenna testing system to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

If the symmetry difference is greater than the symmetry difference threshold, the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern is unqualified. Otherwise, the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern is qualified.

The absolute value of the difference between the test vehicle and the interference vehicle is greater than the absolute value threshold of the speed difference, or the distance between the test vehicle and the interference vehicle is greater than When the absolute value of the difference is greater than the distance difference absolute value threshold, the speed measurement accuracy of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is unqualified; When the measured speed of the jammer vehicle is The absolute value of the difference between the speed difference and the interference vehicle is less than or equal to the absolute value threshold of the speed difference, and the distance between the test vehicle and the interference vehicle is When the absolute value of the difference is less than or equal to the distance difference absolute value threshold, the interference vehicle is controlled from km / h to km / h, and obtain the start acceleration time and end acceleration time of the interference vehicle, and divide the time period from the start acceleration time to the end acceleration time into time points, and obtain the actual speed of the jammer vehicle corresponding to each time point and the speed of the jammer vehicle measured by the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested; According to the actual speed of the jammer car corresponding to each time point and the speed of the jammer car measured by the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested, the actual speed change curve of the jammer car and the test speed change curve of the jammer car are constructed respectively, and the speed measurement accuracy evaluation coefficient is obtained according to the actual speed change curve of the jammer car and the test speed change curve of the jammer car ; Set the speed measurement accuracy evaluation coefficient threshold ,when When the speed measurement accuracy of the millimeter wave radar antenna of the tested vehicle is not up to standard, When the speed measurement accuracy of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is qualified.

[0018] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a method for testing a millimeter-wave radar antenna for an automobile described in this embodiment includes: Step S1: installing the millimeter wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested; Step S2: statically testing the installed automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested by means of a vector network analyzer to obtain an input reflection coefficient of the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested, and judging whether the input reflection loss of the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested is qualified by means of the input reflection coefficient; Step S3: Perform a far-field pattern test on the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested with qualified input reflection loss to obtain an angle-power value pattern, and analyze the angle-power value pattern to obtain an actual transmission coefficient, a half-power beam width, a main-side lobe difference coefficient, and a symmetry difference, and judge whether the far-field pattern test is qualified based on the actual transmission coefficient, the half-power beam width, the main-side lobe difference coefficient, and the symmetry difference; Step S4: Dynamically test the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the automobile to be tested that has passed the far-field pattern test, obtain the actual speed change curve graph of the interference vehicle and the test speed change curve graph of the interference vehicle, obtain the speed measurement accuracy evaluation coefficient by analyzing the actual speed change curve graph of the interference vehicle and the test speed change curve graph of the interference vehicle, and judge whether the speed measurement accuracy of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the automobile to be tested is qualified according to the speed measurement accuracy evaluation coefficient. If the speed measurement accuracy is qualified, the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the automobile to be tested is qualified as a whole. If the speed measurement accuracy is unqualified, the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the automobile to be tested is unqualified as a whole.
[0019] The process of installing the millimeter wave radar antenna on the vehicle to be tested includes: Fix the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested on the electric rotating table through a special bracket, and calculate the minimum far-field distance according to the operating frequency of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested ; in, ; is the size of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested, is the wavelength; in, ; is the speed of light, is the operating frequency of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested; Obtain the test distance between the millimeter-wave radar antenna and the receiving antenna of the vehicle to be tested based on the minimum far-field distance ; in, ; is the adjustment factor for the minimum far-field distance, and ,The adjustment coefficient of the minimum far field distance can be set through experimental data analysis or experience; Place the receiving antenna at a distance from the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested. At the same height and horizontal plane as the receiving antenna and the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested, adjust the angle of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested until the main lobe direction of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is facing the receiving antenna.
[0020] The process of performing a static test on the installed automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested by a vector network analyzer to obtain the input reflection coefficient of the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested includes: Connect the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested to the vector network analyzer, set the test frequency band and the number of frequency sweep points through the vector network analyzer, test the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested through the vector network analyzer after the setting is completed, and obtain the input reflection coefficient of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested by reading the test result of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested by the vector network analyzer; The process of judging whether the input reflection loss of the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested is qualified by input reflection coefficient includes: Set the input reflection coefficient threshold, which can be set through experimental data analysis or experience; When the input reflection coefficient is less than the input reflection coefficient threshold, the input reflection loss of the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested is qualified; when the input reflection coefficient is greater than or equal to the input reflection coefficient threshold, the input reflection loss of the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested is unqualified; It needs to be explained that when the input reflection loss fails to meet the requirements, the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested fails as a whole; It needs to be explained that the input reflection coefficient represents the return loss, that is, how much energy is reflected back to the transmitter. The smaller the input reflection coefficient, the less energy is reflected back to the transmitter, the smaller the input reflection loss, and the better the antenna performance.
[0021] The process of conducting a far-field pattern test on the automotive millimeter-wave radar antenna to be tested with qualified input reflection loss and obtaining the angle-power value pattern includes: Connect the receiving antenna to the vector network analyzer and record the initial position of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested as The millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is measured by a vector network analyzer. When the forward transmission coefficient between the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested and the receiving antenna is , the electric turntable is started to rotate the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested, and each rotation to the right , until it rotates to , each rotation, obtain the forward transmission coefficient between the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested and the receiving antenna, rotate the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested to the initial position through the electric turntable, control the electric turntable to rotate the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested, and rotate left each time , until it rotates to , each time it rotates, the forward transmission coefficient between the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested and the receiving antenna is obtained, so that the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is obtained as , , ,……, , , ,……, The forward transmission coefficient between the millimeter-wave radar antenna and the receiving antenna of the vehicle to be tested when ; It should be explained that the forward transmission coefficient represents the insertion loss, that is, how much energy is transmitted to the receiving antenna. The forward transmission coefficient represents the energy transmitted to the receiving antenna, which indirectly represents the power of the signal received by the receiving antenna; Establish a blank two-dimensional rectangular coordinate system, set the horizontal coordinate of the blank two-dimensional rectangular coordinate system to the angle, set the vertical coordinate of the blank two-dimensional rectangular coordinate system to the forward transmission coefficient, and set the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested to , , ,……, , , ,……, The forward transmission coefficient between the millimeter-wave radar antenna and the receiving antenna of the vehicle to be tested is filled in a blank two-dimensional rectangular coordinate system to obtain the forward transmission coefficient mapping points, and the forward transmission coefficient mapping points are sequentially connected by straight lines in order from small to large angles to obtain the angle-power value direction diagram; By analyzing the angle-power value pattern, the process of judging whether the far-field pattern test is qualified includes: The far-field radiation pattern simulation test of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is performed through electromagnetic simulation software to obtain the angle-power value simulation radiation pattern, and the maximum forward transmission coefficient corresponding to the forward transmission coefficient mapping point in the angle-power value simulation radiation pattern is obtained and recorded as the standard transmission coefficient; Obtain the maximum forward transmission coefficient corresponding to the forward transmission coefficient mapping point in the angle-power value pattern, and record it as the actual transmission coefficient; Subtract the standard transmission coefficient from , is a positive integer, The value of can be set through experimental data analysis or experience, and The value of is generally 2, and the first subtraction result is obtained. If the actual transmission coefficient is less than the first subtraction result, the far-field pattern test fails. It needs to be explained that if the maximum forward transmission coefficient is too low, the feeder loss of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is abnormal, so the maximum forward transmission coefficient is used as a test factor; If the actual transmission coefficient is greater than or equal to the first subtraction result, a line parallel to the vertical axis is drawn through the forward transmission coefficient mapping point corresponding to the maximum forward transmission coefficient, and the angle-power value pattern on the left side of the parallel line is recorded as the left half angle-power value pattern, and the angle-power value pattern on the right side of the parallel line is recorded as the right half angle-power value pattern. The actual transmission coefficient is subtracted from , , obtain the second subtraction result, starting from the forward transmission coefficient mapping point corresponding to the maximum forward transmission coefficient, obtain the angle corresponding to the first forward transmission coefficient in the right half angle-power value pattern that is equal to the second subtraction result, and record it as the right angle, starting from the forward transmission coefficient mapping point corresponding to the maximum forward transmission coefficient, obtain the angle corresponding to the first forward transmission coefficient in the left half angle-power value pattern that is equal to the second subtraction result, and record it as the left angle; Subtract the left angle from the right angle to obtain the half-power beam width, and set the half-power beam width threshold range. The half-power beam width threshold range can be set through experimental data analysis or experience. If the half-power beam width exceeds the half-power beam width threshold range, the far-field pattern test fails; It should be explained that if the half-power beam width is too large, it may cause problems such as beam diffusion and poor directivity. If the half-power beam width is too small, it may cause problems such as too strong directivity and affect the coverage area. Therefore, the half-power beam width is used as a test factor. If the half-power beam width does not exceed the half-power beam width threshold range, the second largest forward transmission coefficient corresponding to the forward transmission coefficient mapping point in the angle-power value pattern is obtained and recorded as the second transmission coefficient; Subtract the actual transmission coefficient from the second transmission coefficient to obtain the main-side lobe difference coefficient, and set the main-side lobe difference coefficient threshold. The main-side lobe difference coefficient threshold can be set through experimental data analysis or experience. If the main-side lobe difference coefficient is greater than the main-side lobe difference coefficient threshold, the far-field pattern test fails. It needs to be explained that if the difference between the main lobe and the side lobe is too large, that is, the side lobe is too high, it may cause interference echo, radar false triggering and misjudgment, etc. Therefore, the difference between the main lobe and the side lobe is used as a test factor; If the main-side lobe difference coefficient is less than or equal to the main-side lobe difference coefficient threshold, the symmetry difference between the left half angle-power value pattern and the right half angle-power value pattern is obtained, and the symmetry analysis of the angle-power value pattern is performed according to the symmetry difference; The process of obtaining a symmetry difference between a left half angle-power value pattern and a right half angle-power value pattern and performing symmetry analysis on the angle-power value pattern according to the symmetry difference includes: The forward transmission coefficient corresponding to an angle of 1° minus the angle is The corresponding forward transmission coefficient is calculated by taking the absolute value of the subtraction result, and the angle is The corresponding forward transmission coefficient minus the angle is The corresponding forward transmission coefficient is calculated by taking the absolute value of the subtraction result, and the angle is The corresponding forward transmission coefficient minus the angle is The corresponding forward transmission coefficient is calculated by taking the absolute value of the subtraction result, and so on. The corresponding forward transmission coefficient minus the angle is The corresponding forward transmission coefficient, the absolute value operation is performed on the subtraction result, all the absolute value operation results are added together to obtain the symmetric difference between the left half angle-power value pattern and the right half angle-power value pattern; It should be explained that, during the installation of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested, the angle of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested is adjusted until the main lobe direction of the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested faces the receiving antenna. Therefore, the angle corresponding to the maximum forward transmission coefficient is ; Set the symmetry difference threshold. The symmetry difference threshold can be set through experimental data analysis or experience. If the symmetry difference between the left half angle-power value pattern and the right half angle-power value pattern is greater than the symmetry difference threshold, the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern is unqualified and the far-field pattern test is unqualified. If the symmetry difference between the left half angle-power value pattern and the right half angle-power value pattern is less than or equal to the symmetry difference threshold, the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern is qualified and the far-field pattern test is qualified. It needs to be explained that when the far-field pattern test fails, the millimeter-wave radar antenna of the vehicle to be tested fails as a whole; It should be explained that if the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern is poor, it may be caused by unbalanced feeder and poor performance of radar components. Therefore, the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern is used as a test factor; It needs to be explained that the traditional method performs symmetry analysis on the angle-power value pattern by comparing the side lobes on the left and right sides. This method can only determine whether the side lobes on the left and right sides are symmetrical, but cannot determine whether the remaining parts on the left and right sides are symmetrical. It is not precise enough, which causes misjudgment of the symmetry of the angle-power value pattern, thereby reducing the test precision and accuracy.
