Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of signal processing, and in particular relates to a method for generating and processing a broadband waveform of a multi-sub-pulse structure oriented to energy accumulation. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic countermeasure technology, modern radar systems have encountered many challenges and threats, such as electronic interference on radar systems. When the radar waveform is easily intercepted and used by the adversary, it will face the risk of interference equipment such as noise interference, deception interference and power suppression by the adversary, which will seriously weaken its detection and survivability. Therefore, in order to ensure the survival and combat capability of the radar system in electronic countermeasures, it is urgent to design a radar transmission waveform with low intercept performance. The large time-width bandwidth waveform is a typical low intercept waveform. Since the waveform energy is dispersed over a large time and bandwidth range, it is difficult to be received by the adversary's reconnaissance aircraft and has good low intercept performance. However, the high range resolution of the broadband waveform causes the energy to be dispersed at various scattering points of the extended target, affecting the detection capability of the waveform.
[0003] At present, there are many studies on wideband low-acquisition waveforms that focus on the design of the transmit waveform and the echo processing method. The literature "B. Tang and J. Tang, Robust waveform design of wideband cognitive radar for extended target detection, 2016 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Shanghai, China, 2016, pp. 3096-3100" designed a wideband cognitive radar waveform for detecting extended targets by maximizing the worst-case signal-to-interference-noise ratio based on the assumed random model of the target impulse response. However, this design method has a high dependence on the prior knowledge of the target and poor practicality. The document "Yuanhao Wu, Tao Fan, Peijie Zhu, Rui Tan, Xianxiang Yu, Guolong Cui, An extended target signal integration method via mainlobe broadening, SignalProcessing, Volume 216, 2024" proposes a design method for a mismatch filter based on mainlobe broadening. Without relying on prior information, the echo signal is processed by mismatch filtering to reduce the distance resolution of the broadband waveform, thereby achieving the purpose of accumulating the energy of the extended target scattered at each scattering point. However, due to the degree of freedom of waveform design, this method can only expand the mainlobe width within a limited range. Summary of the invention
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for generating and processing a broadband waveform with a multi-sub-pulse structure for energy accumulation, thereby reducing the distance resolution of the broadband waveform and realizing the accumulation of energy dispersed at various scattering points of the extended target.

By discretizing the echo signal into fast and slow time dimension matrices, an inter-pulse coherent accumulation filter matrix is designed to achieve inter-pulse coherent accumulation of each sub-pulse waveform and peak alignment of each inter-pulse coherent accumulation result in the Doppler dimension, and finally uses a maximum contrast method to achieve phase compensation and coherent accumulation between the processing results of each sub-pulse. The method of the present invention generates a broadband waveform based on a multi-sub-pulse structure with a large time-width-bandwidth product and processes it. The final result reduces the distance resolution of the broadband waveform, can effectively accumulate energy dispersed on multiple scattering points of the extended target, and improves the output signal-to-noise ratio of the broadband waveform.

[0152] This embodiment further performs simulation verification, firstly setting simulation parameters, as follows:
[0153] Radar parameters: Considering airborne radar, carrier frequency f c =9GHz, sampling frequency f s =400MHz, the number of radar pulses is M=64, and the pulse repetition period is PRI=50μs. The noise is set to be Gaussian white noise with a mean of 0 and a power of 1. For the same scenario, narrowband and broadband signals are transmitted respectively, and their specific parameters are: the number of sub-pulses K=20 of the broadband waveform based on the multi-sub-pulse structure, the sub-pulse is a random phase coded waveform with a pulse width τ=1μs and a bandwidth B=10MHz, then a broadband waveform with a multi-sub-pulse structure with a bandwidth of 200MHz and a pulse width of 20μs is obtained; the narrowband linear frequency modulation signal (LFM) has a pulse width of 20μs and a bandwidth of 10MHz. In order to ensure that the energy of the broadband signal and the narrowband signal is the same, the narrowband transmission signal power is set to 20 times that of the broadband transmission signal.
[0154] Target parameters: Set the target echo signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the broadband waveform while ensuring that the energy of the broadband signal and the narrowband signal is the same. r =-25dB, the target length is 15m, and there are 16 scattering points with different phases and amplitudes. The strong and weak scattering points are spaced apart. The energy of the strong and weak scattering points obeys the Rayleigh probability distribution model. The initial phase of the scattering point obeys a Gaussian random distribution with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1. The scattering point distribution model is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the target relative broadband radar distance is set to R = 50km, and the relative motion speed between the target and the platform is set to V = 102m / s.
[0155] The simulation results of this embodiment are as follows Figure 5-8 As shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The RD planes obtained by respectively processing the echoes using the method of the present invention and the processing method based on matched filtering and moving target detection (MTD) after the radar transmits a broadband waveform of a multi-sub-pulse structure and receives the echoes are shown. Figure 7 The RD plane of the narrowband LFM signal echo after matched filtering and moving target detection (MTD) method is shown. In order to intuitively show the accumulation effect of the extended target energy after sub-band processing, Figure 8The distance dimension sections of the three results are compared. It can be seen that the method of the present invention can synthesize the detection of single peaks of multiple scattering points of broadband radar targets. The output signal-to-noise ratio of the broadband waveform of the multi-sub-pulse structure is 27.46dB after being processed by the method proposed in the patent, and the output signal-to-noise ratio after being processed by the matched filter-MTD method is 22.67dB, while the output SNR of the narrowband LFM signal is 31.10dB. The designed echo processing method achieves a 4.79dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement, which is 3.64dB less than the narrowband signal SNR loss.
[0156] In summary, the method of the present invention generates and processes a broadband waveform based on a multi-sub-pulse structure with a large time-bandwidth product. The final result reduces the distance resolution of the broadband waveform, can effectively accumulate energy dispersed at multiple scattering points of the extended target, and improves the output signal-to-noise ratio of the broadband waveform.
