Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar ranging technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and program product for correcting ranging errors of LFM signals. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the range-Doppler coupling characteristics, linear frequency modulation (LFM) signals experience a range shift proportional to the Doppler frequency during pulse compression, leading to ranging errors. The higher the target speed, the greater the ranging error, necessitating error correction to improve target ranging accuracy.

[0003] Existing methods for correcting range-Doppler coupling errors include: positive and negative frequency modulation (PFMC) methods, track filtering for velocity estimation, and velocity ambiguity resolution methods. The PFMC method uses two different frequency modulation waveforms to detect targets, which reduces the radar's effective data rate by half, limiting its engineering applications. The track filtering method estimates target velocity based on the range difference after track filtering; however, ranging errors themselves affect the accuracy of track filtering, and the data interval for track filtering is only a few hundred milliseconds, leading to significant filtering errors due to high-speed target maneuvers. The velocity ambiguity resolution method uses waterfall plots to solve target velocity ambiguity, requiring segmented spectrum calculations of the intermediate frequency data, resulting in a large computational load and unsuitability for multiple targets.

[0004] Furthermore, correcting for range errors caused by different Doppler frequencies when dealing with multiple high-speed moving targets faces the following challenges: Doppler frequency estimation requires multi-target matching, and phase correction before pulse compression is not suitable for multiple targets. Currently, no relevant literature or patents have been found to provide solutions to these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method, apparatus, device, medium and program product for correcting ranging errors of LFM signals, so as to solve the ranging error problem when radar LFM signals detect multiple high-speed moving targets.

[0026] Using the estimated target Doppler frequency shift, the target range offset Δr is estimated, expressed as:

[0027] Δr=f d / κ·c / 2

[0028] Where κ=B / τ represents the frequency modulation slope of the LFM signal, B is the signal bandwidth, and τ is the signal pulse width.

[0029] In some embodiments, the target distance offset is used to correct the apparent target distance, including:

[0030] Subtracting the target range offset from the apparent target range yields the corrected apparent target range; where, for the j-th target apparent range R in the i-th repetition frequency group... ij The corrected target appears to be at distance R. ij,c Represented as: R ij,c =R ij -Δr.

[0053] This invention addresses the ranging error problem when using radar LFM signals to detect multiple high-speed moving targets, proposing a ranging error correction method for LFM signals. This method first measures the apparent range and apparent velocity after CFAR (Conveyance-Based Arrangement). Then, it uses the least squares method to solve for the unambiguous target's true velocity. Based on the true velocity, it estimates the target range offset, corrects the apparent range using the range offset, and finally resolves the target range ambiguity to obtain the true target range and true target velocity. This method combines radar CFAR with velocity and range ambiguity resolution to achieve target velocity estimation and range correction. It eliminates the need for additional data processing on the sampled intermediate frequency signal and does not employ additional detection waveforms, and is applicable to multiple high-speed moving targets. Implementation examples show that the greater the relative speed between the target and the radar, the greater the ranging error of traditional measurement methods. Using the range correction method proposed in this invention, the ranging error remains within the measurement accuracy range of the radar system. Attached Figure Description

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0063] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes an LFM signal ranging error correction method, which includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S1: Measure the apparent distance and apparent velocity of the target.

[0066] In some embodiments, step S1 includes: transmitting M groups of LFM signals with different repetition frequencies to detect moving targets; processing the target echoes corresponding to each group of repetition frequencies; and converging the processed original point traces in the range and velocity dimensions to obtain apparent range and apparent velocity. The processing of the target echoes includes pulse compression, inter-pulse coherence, and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection.

[0067] Step S2: Solve the target velocity ambiguity based on the target's apparent distance and apparent velocity to obtain the target's true velocity.

[0068] From the M groups of repetition frequencies, N groups are selected for multi-target matching and deambiguation. There are a total of A combination. In some embodiments, step S2 includes the following sub-steps:

[0069] Step S21: Select one target data point from each group of repetition frequencies and use the least squares method to solve the target velocity ambiguity.

[0070] Step S22, based on the apparent velocity V of the j-th target in the i-th group of repetition frequencies. ijAnd apparent distance R ij Calculate the apparent velocity V ij The corresponding total possible speeds are represented as:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, V max V is the maximum detection speed of the radar. i,u =1 / PRI i ·λ / 2 represents the repetition frequency PRI of the i-th group. i The corresponding unambiguous velocity, where λ is the radar signal wavelength. This indicates rounding up to the nearest integer.

[0073] Step S23: After calculating all possible velocities of the selected data in the N sets of repetition frequencies, arrange the obtained values ​​in ascending order to obtain a one-dimensional array V. o Calculate the one-dimensional array V o The root mean square deviation C of N adjacent elements V (j):

[0074]

[0075] in, For a one-dimensional array V o The mean of N adjacent values ​​in a given set.

[0076] Step S24, calculate the minimum standard deviation C. V,min :

[0077] If the minimum mean square deviation C V,min Less than the set first threshold T V If the target velocities at different repetition frequencies are considered to be successfully matched, the corresponding mean values ​​are... That is, the target's true speed;

[0078] If the minimum mean square deviation C V,min Greater than the set first threshold T V If the target match is unsuccessful, select the next data and repeat steps S21 to S24.

[0079] Step S3: Estimate the target distance offset using the target's true velocity.

[0080] Step S31, using the target's true speed Estimate the target Doppler frequency shift f d , is represented as:

[0081]

[0082] Step S32: Using the estimated target Doppler frequency shift, estimate the target range offset, expressed as:

[0083] Δr=f d / κ·c / 2 (4)

[0084] Where κ=B / τ represents the frequency modulation slope of the LFM signal, B is the signal bandwidth, and τ is the signal pulse width. Therefore, the target range offset can be calculated as:

[0085]

[0086] Step S4: Correct the apparent distance of the target using the target distance offset.

[0087] For the target data after successful velocity matching, the apparent range R of the j-th target in the i-th group of repetition frequencies is corrected using equation (5). ij The corrected target appears to be at distance R. ij,c Represented as:

[0088] R ij,c =R ij -Δr (6)

[0089] Step S5: Using the corrected apparent target distance, solve the target distance ambiguity to obtain the true target distance.

[0090] In some embodiments, step S5 includes the following sub-steps:

[0091] Step S51: Use the least squares method to perform range fuzzy resolution on the corrected target apparent range, and calculate the corrected target apparent range R. ij,c The corresponding total possible distances are:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, R max R is the maximum detection range of the radar. i,u =PRI i ·c / 2 represents the repetition frequency PRI of the i-th group. i The corresponding unambiguous distance, This indicates rounding up, where c is the speed of light.

[0094] Step S52: After calculating all possible distances for the successfully matched velocity data in the N sets of repetition frequencies, arrange the obtained values ​​in ascending order to obtain a one-dimensional array R. o Calculate the one-dimensional array R o The root mean square deviation C of N adjacent elements R (j):

[0095]

[0096] in, Given a one-dimensional array R o The mean of N adjacent values ​​in a given set.

[0097] Step S53, calculate the minimum standard deviation C. R,min :

[0098] If the minimum mean square deviation C R,min Less than the set second threshold T R If the target distance matching is successful at different repetition frequencies, the corresponding mean value is considered to be... This is the true distance to the target; output the true distance to the target. and the target's true speed

[0099] If the minimum mean square deviation C R,min Greater than the set second threshold T R If the target distance matching fails, then the steps S2 to S5 are repeated.

[0100] To verify the performance of the proposed correction method, four moving targets were simulated using radar signal processing. The distances between the four targets and the radar were assumed to be 100km, 101km, 102km, and 103km, respectively, with relative speeds of 1000m / s, -500m / s, 800m / s, and -300m / s, respectively. The radar signal wavelength was 0.01m, pulse width 20µs, and bandwidth 2MHz.

[0101] according to Figure 1 The implementation process is shown below. The steps for this example are as follows:

[0102] Step S1: Measure the apparent distance and apparent velocity of the target.

[0103] Four sets of LFM signals with different repetition frequencies were emitted to detect moving targets, with pulse repetition intervals (PRI) of 211 μs, 229 μs, 241 μs, and 257 μs, respectively. The target echoes corresponding to each PRI were processed using pulse compression, inter-pulse coherence, and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection. The processed raw point traces were then converged in the range and velocity dimensions to obtain the apparent range and apparent velocity. The CFAR detection results for the four PRI sets are shown below. Figure 2a , Figure 2b , Figure 2c , Figure 2d As shown, there are only 3 targets in the second group of repetition frequencies because one of the targets is in the radar blind zone. The apparent range and apparent Doppler frequency (apparent velocity × wavelength / 2) after condensation are shown in Table 1.

[0104] Table 1. Apparent distance and apparent Doppler frequency after condensation:

[0105]

[0106] Step S2: Solve the target velocity ambiguity based on the target's apparent distance and apparent velocity to obtain the target's true velocity.

[0107] Three PRI groups are selected from four repetition frequencies for deambiguation, resulting in four possible combinations. One data point from each PRI group is selected to solve the velocity ambiguity using the least squares method. When the minimum mean square error is less than the radar system's velocity measurement accuracy, the target velocity is considered to be successfully matched, and the obtained true target velocity is 999.996 m / s.

[0108] Step S3: Estimate the target distance offset using the target's true velocity.

[0109] Based on the calculated true target velocity, the estimated Doppler frequency shift of the target is 200kHz, and the target distance deviation caused by the Doppler frequency shift is 299.999m.

[0110] Step S4: Correct the apparent distance of the target using the target distance offset.

[0111] For target data after successful velocity matching, the apparent distance is corrected using the estimated target distance deviation.

[0112] Step S5: Using the corrected apparent target distance, solve the target distance ambiguity to obtain the true target distance.

[0113] For target data that has been successfully matched in velocity and corrected for apparent distance, the least squares method is used to resolve target distance ambiguity. When the minimum mean square error is less than the ranging accuracy of the radar system, the target distance is considered to have been successfully matched, and the true distance of the target is output as 99997m.

[0114] After traversing all target data combinations and repetition frequency combinations, the measured distances of the four targets were obtained as 99997m, 100988m, 101981m, and 102995m, respectively.

[0115] To evaluate the ranging performance of this method, 50 Monte Carlo tests were conducted. In each test, the ranging and velocity errors inherent in the radar system were randomly generated, reflected in the apparent range and apparent velocity of the test data. The distance measurement results of conventional methods and the method described in this patent are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the ranging error of the method of the present invention is much smaller than that of the traditional method, which is within the measurement accuracy range of the radar system.
