[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] As described above, in the related art, the received echo signal is usually windowed, and this method usually causes a decrease in the signal - to - noise ratio of the signal and a decrease in the resolution at the same time.

[0037] Based on this, the concept of the present invention is to integrate the Hamming window into the transmitted signal in advance. After passing through a matched filter with corresponding settings, the signal obtains the weighted effect of a Hamming window. Compared with the traditional method of directly windowing the signal in the echo information processing stage, this method obtains the optimal output peak signal - to - noise ratio on the premise of effectively suppressing the sidelobes.

[0038] The following describes the specific implementation manners of the above concept.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , a method for generating a low - sidelobe non - linear frequency - modulated radar signal provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:

[0040] Step 100, process the radar signal before transmission according to the stationary - phase principle to obtain a normalized frequency - time equation for characterizing the signal frequency and a normalized amplitude - frequency equation for characterizing the signal frequency - domain amplitude;

[0041] Step 102, process the normalized amplitude - frequency equation according to the preset window - function shape parameters to obtain a first variation equation of the normalized angular time with respect to the normalized angular frequency;

[0042] Step 104, perform Fourier - series decomposition on the first variation equation and calculate to obtain a second variation equation of the normalized angular frequency with respect to the normalized angular time;

[0043] Step 106: Calculate a third variation equation with respect to time for the radar signal under the condition of low sidelobes according to the original phase of the radar signal and the second variation equation.

[0044] Step 108: Process the third variation equation according to the stationary phase principle to determine a matched filter for processing the signal echo, and generate a radar signal with an optimal output peak signal-to-noise ratio under the condition of low sidelobes according to the matched filter.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, first, the frequency and frequency-domain amplitude of the radar transmission signal are normalized, and the processed signal is windowed using a Hamming window. Then, by further solving the windowed signal, its frequency-domain matched filter is determined. Finally, the signal echo is processed using this filter to obtain an optimal output peak signal-to-noise ratio result under specific low sidelobe conditions. Incorporating the Hamming window into the transmission signal, after corresponding matched filtering, the signal obtains a weighted effect of the Hamming window. Compared with the traditional method of directly applying the Hamming window to the signal in the echo information processing stage, the present invention obtains an optimal output peak signal-to-noise ratio on the premise of effectively suppressing sidelobes.

[0046] The following describes Figure 1 the execution manners of the respective steps shown.

[0047] First, for step 100, process the radar signal before transmission according to the stationary phase principle to obtain a normalized frequency-time equation for characterizing the signal frequency and a normalized amplitude-frequency equation for characterizing the signal frequency-domain amplitude.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, first assume that the time-domain equation S T (τ) of the radar signal varying with time τ:

[0049]

[0050] where P S is the average power; T r is the pulse width; B r is the bandwidth; is the phase varying with time;

[0051] Process the time-domain equation according to the stationary phase principle to respectively determine the frequency-time equation f r with respect to time and the amplitude-frequency equation A r of the frequency-domain amplitude with respect to the signal frequency A f f (f (f r )):

[0052]

[0053] Among them, τ(f r ) is the inverse expression of the variation equation f r (τ);

[0054] Next, let the normalized angular time ω τ and the normalized angular frequency ω f be:

[0055]

[0056] Substitute the preset normalized angular time ω τ and the normalized angular frequency ω f into the frequency-time equation and the amplitude-frequency equation, and calculate to obtain the normalized frequency-time equation ω f (ω τ ) and the normalized amplitude-frequency equation A f (ω f ):

[0057]

[0058] Among them, K r = B r / T r is the modulation frequency of the transmitted signal.

[0059] Then, for step 102, process the normalized amplitude-frequency equation according to the preset window function shape parameter to obtain the first variation equation of the normalized angular time with respect to the normalized angular frequency.

[0060] The Hamming window is a relatively commonly used frequency-domain weighting method, and its expression is:

[0061] W H (ω f ) = 1 + ecosω f

[0062] Among them, e is the shape parameter of the Hamming window.

[0063] Next, according to the signal sidelobe suppression requirement, initialize the shape parameter of the Hamming window, and use the initialized Hamming window to process the normalized amplitude-frequency equation to obtain the frequency-domain amplitude of the windowed radar signal:

[0064]

[0065] Among them, C is an undetermined energy conservation constant;

[0066] Furthermore, from the expression of the frequency-domain amplitude varying with frequency and the specific expression of the frequency-domain amplitude, it can be obtained that:

[0067] W H (ω f )dω f =Cdω τ

[0068] Considering the correspondence between time and frequency at the edge of the effective value, i.e., ω f (±π)=±π; substituting the frequency-domain amplitude of the windowed radar signal into the normalized amplitude-frequency equation for calculation, and integrating the calculation result at the edge of the effective values of time and frequency, the first variation equation is obtained:

[0069] ω τ =ω f +esinω f 。

[0070] For step 104, performing Fourier series decomposition on the first variation equation, the second variation equation of the normalized angular frequency with respect to the normalized angular time is calculated.

[0071] Using the Fourier series method to solve the first variation equation determined in the above process, the second variation equation can be obtained:

[0072]

[0073] where J n (·) is the Bessel function of the first kind of integer order, and its definition is:

[0074]

[0075] For step 106, according to the original phase of the radar signal and the second variation equation, the third variation equation of the radar signal under the low sidelobe condition with respect to time is calculated.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, according to the second variation equation, the original phase of the radar signal is calculated

[0077]

[0078] Then substituting the original phase into the time-domain equation, the third variation equation is calculated:

[0079]

[0080] For step 108, according to the stationary phase principle, the third variation equation is processed to determine the matched filter for processing the signal echo, and a radar signal with the optimal output peak signal-to-noise ratio under the low sidelobe condition is generated according to the matched filter.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present invention, the third variation equation is processed according to the stationary phase principle to obtain the frequency domain equation S of the radar signal T (ω f ):

[0082]

[0083] Among them, the phase is:[[]]END]]

[0084]

[0085] From this, the initial expression of the matched filter can be obtained:[[]]END]]

[0086]

[0087] Furthermore, the normalized angular frequency in the matched filter is replaced with the signal frequency f mentioned in the above process r , and the expansion of the phase φ(ω f ) calculated in the above process is substituted into the matched filter. According to the frequency domain equation, the matched filter H(f r ) for processing the signal echo is determined under the shape parameter of the Hamming window:[[]]END]]

[0088]

[0089] The echo of the radar signal is processed by using the matched filter to obtain a filtered signal S R (f r ) with the optimal output peak signal-to-noise ratio under the condition of low sidelobes:[[]]END]]

[0090] S R (f r ) = S T (f r ) × H(f r )

[0091] Among them, S T (f r ) is the expression of the radar signal in the frequency domain.[[]]END]]

[0092] Next, an embodiment is used to verify the feasibility of the above method.[[]]END]]

[0093] In this embodiment, a point target simulation is taken as an example. In this embodiment, three point targets at different positions are set, with a distance of 500 meters between adjacent two points, and the shape parameter e of the Hamming window is 0.4 / 0.6. The specific simulation parameters of the point target are shown in Table 1 below:[[]]END]]

[0094] Table 1

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] Figure 2 is the time-frequency diagram of the chirp signal; Figure 3 is the frequency-domain diagram of the chirp signal with a Hamming window added, and a Hamming window with a shape parameter of e = 0.4 / 0.6 is added to the signal in the frequency domain; Figure 4 is the time-frequency diagram of the non-linear chirp signal of this patent. Matched filtering is performed in the frequency domain. By comparison, it can be seen that this invention patent obtains the same weighted effect as Figure 3 the Hamming window.

[0098] In the embodiment, six groups of comparative experiments are set up. In the first and fourth groups, point targets are imaged by using LFM without a window. In the second and fifth groups, point targets are imaged by using LFM with a Hamming window. In the third and sixth groups of experiments, a low sidelobe non-linear chirp radar signal generation and processing method with the optimal output peak signal-to-noise ratio of this invention is used. No noise is added in the first three groups, and complex Gaussian noise with a signal-to-noise ratio of -15 dB is added in the last three groups. Due to the addition of noise, traditional metrics cannot be used for evaluation. In this embodiment, the peak signal-to-noise ratio is reflected by comparing the average sidelobe power.

[0099] The results of the three-point target profile diagrams without noise in the first three groups are as Figures 5 - 7 shown, and the results of the three-point target profile diagrams with noise in the last three groups are as Figures 8 - 10 ; In the six groups of simulation experiments, the three-point mean values are taken for data comparison. The resolution (Resolution), peak sidelobe ratio (PSLR), integrated sidelobe ratio (ISLR) under the condition of no noise, and the results of the output peak signal-to-noise ratio under the condition of noise are shown in Table 2 below. Table 2 is the point target imaging result (average).

[0100] Table 2

[0101]

[0102] Comparing the experimental results of the first three groups, although this embodiment does not directly add a Hamming window, it still achieves the effect of adding a Hamming window. By changing the transmitted signal and matched filtering, the peak signal-to-noise ratio after pulse compression is directly improved. Comparing the experimental results of the last three groups, the normalized average power after adding a window will deteriorate, but the normalized noise average power in this embodiment will return to the state before adding the window, that is, the state without adding a window.
