Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar signal processing, and more specifically, to a method and system for dynamic separation and anti-interference of multiple targets of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar based on synchronous extraction transformation. Background Art

[0002] A frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar realizes target ranging and velocity measurement by transmitting a linearly frequency-modulated continuous-wave signal and analyzing the echo beat frequency, and has advantages such as low power consumption and high resolution.

[0003] Currently, in the existing FMCW radar technology, the spectrum analysis method based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is limited by the spectrum resolution and the Rayleigh criterion, and spectral aliasing is likely to occur in a dense multi-target scenario, resulting in difficulty in removing false targets. At the same time, the traditional fixed-threshold detection method has insufficient anti-interference ability in a complex electromagnetic environment and is difficult to distinguish dynamic targets from noise and clutter.

[0004] In addition, the Doppler frequency shift of a moving target will introduce a range-velocity coupling error. The existing decoupling methods rely on multiple scans or complex waveform designs, have poor real-time performance, and high hardware costs. For the tracking of high-speed dynamic targets, conventional static spectrum analysis is difficult to capture time-varying Doppler characteristics, resulting in broken target trajectories or missed detections.

[0005] The above problems seriously restrict the reliability and accuracy of FMCW radars in scenarios such as intelligent driving and security monitoring.

[0006] Therefore, how to solve the problems of spectral aliasing, insufficient anti-interference ability, and low tracking accuracy of dynamic targets of existing FMCW radars in a dense multi-target scenario is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0068] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for multi-target dynamic separation and anti-interference of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar based on synchronous extraction transformation, as Figure 1 follows:

[0069] S1. Signal transmission: Generate a linearly frequency-modulated continuous wave and transmit a high-frequency signal through the RF front end;

[0070] S2. Signal reception and preprocessing: Receive the target reflected signal, mix it with the transmitted signal through a mixer, extract the intermediate-frequency beat signal and perform denoising processing;

[0071] S3. Synchronous extraction transformation time-frequency analysis: Perform time-frequency decomposition on the signal using synchronous extraction transformation to generate a high-resolution instantaneous frequency-time distribution matrix;

[0072] S4. Dynamic target separation and decoupling: Based on the time-frequency matrix, use the density clustering algorithm to separate overlapping targets, and combine the dynamic decoupling compensation algorithm to eliminate the range-velocity coupling error, and output the time-frequency trajectories of independent targets;

[0073] S5. Anti-interference processing: Construct a dynamic time-frequency domain mask filter to filter out noise, optimize the detection sensitivity through an adaptive threshold detection mechanism and perform false alarm control.

[0074] To further implement the above technical solution, in step S1, the parameters of the transmitted signal are dynamically adjusted according to the scenario to ensure coverage of the detection range.

[0075] The FMCW transmitted signal is:

[0076]

[0077] where A is the signal amplitude (typical value: A = 1V, determined by the power amplifier gain), f0 is the starting frequency (commonly used f0 = 77GHz for vehicle-mounted radars), B is the frequency modulation bandwidth (range: B = 1 - 4GHz, determining the range resolution ), and T is the frequency modulation period (typical value: T = 50µs, determining the maximum detection range ), where t is the time variable (t ∈ [0, T]).

[0078] The received signal is:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, A r is the received signal amplitude (related to the target RCS, typical value: A r = 10 mV), is the round-trip time delay of the signal (R is the target distance, c = 3×10 8 m / s), and n(t) is the additive noise (including thermal noise, multipath interference, etc., typical SNR value: -5~10 dB).

[0081] To further implement the above technical solution, in step S2, the denoising process is to perform wavelet threshold filtering preprocessing and signal normalization on the intermediate-frequency beat signal.

[0082] The intermediate-frequency beat signal is expressed as:

[0083]

[0084] The beat frequency is:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, v is the target radial velocity; the parameter range of the short-time Fourier transform is: the frequency f corresponding to the distance b,R ∈ [0.1 MHz, 5 MHz] (corresponding to R = 0.1~150 m); the frequency f corresponding to the velocity b,v ∈ [-100 MHz, 100 MHz] (corresponding to v = -200~200 m);

[0087] The wavelet threshold filtering can be expressed as:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, the threshold calculation is:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, σ is the noise standard deviation (estimated through the leading silent segment of the signal), N is the number of signal sampling points (typical value: N = 1024), and the wavelet basis Symlets 8 is selected, taking into account both time-frequency locality and computational efficiency;

[0092] The amplitude normalization formula:

[0093]

[0094] Amplitude normalization can eliminate the influence of signal amplitude fluctuations on subsequent time-frequency analysis.

[0095] To further implement the above technical solution, as Figure 2 , the specific content of step S3 is:

[0096] S31. Perform short-time Fourier transform (STFT) on the intermediate frequency beat signal after denoising to generate a time-frequency matrix;

[0097] Short-time Fourier transform (STFT):

[0098]

[0099] Among them, the window function w(t) uses a Gaussian window w(t)=e -π(t / σ)^2 , σ = 16 samples;

[0100] In this embodiment, the number of FFT points: N FFT = 512 (frequency resolution , is 24.4 kHz), and the overlap rate is 75% (time resolution );

[0101] Instantaneous frequency extraction:

[0102] f inst (t)=argmax f |STFT(t,f)|

[0103] S32. Extract the instantaneous frequency ridge line based on the SET transform, and perform multi-candidate ridge line screening and optimization through ridge line continuity detection;

[0104] S33. Construct a SET matrix to obtain a high-resolution instantaneous frequency-time distribution matrix;

[0105] SET(t,f)=STFT(t,f)·δ(f - f inst (t)).

[0106] In this embodiment, the resolution improvement multiple is:

[0107]

[0108] Taking the FMCW simulation signal as an example, as Figure 3 shown, it can be seen from the figure that SET effectively suppresses the energy diffusion phenomenon of STFT, and the time-frequency resolution of the two frequency modulation trajectories is significantly improved, verifying the advantage of synchronous extraction transform time-frequency analysis in target separation.

[0109] To further implement the above technical solution, the method for multi-candidate ridge line screening and optimization through ridge line continuity detection in step S32 is:

[0110]

[0111] Among them, F candidate is the candidate frequency, i.e., the potential significant frequency component in the detection signal, f is the frequency, |STFT(t, f)| is the amplitude of the short-time Fourier transform at time t and frequency f, and ∂|STFT(t, f)| is the partial derivative of the amplitude spectrum with respect to the frequency f, describing the rate of change of the amplitude spectrum in the frequency direction. It is used to screen out the points where the derivative of the amplitude spectrum with respect to the frequency axis is zero.

[0112] The path continuity constraint is:

[0113]

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] Among them, f inst (t) is the extracted instantaneous frequency, Δt is the time resolution, Δf is the frequency resolution, and N FFT is the number of FFT points.

[0117] To further implement the above technical solution, as Figure 2 , the specific content of step S4 is:

[0118] S41. Based on the time-frequency energy distribution of the time-frequency matrix generated by the synchronous extraction transform, an improved density clustering algorithm is adopted. Through the clustering parameters, the time-frequency points that meet the conditions are screened to form independent target clusters. For overlapping clusters, the Mahalanobis distance criterion is introduced to handle the inter-cluster conflict, so as to separate the time-frequency energy ridge line and identify the time-frequency ridge line characteristics of independent targets.

[0119] In this embodiment, the clustering parameters are specifically the neighborhood radius ϵ = 0.1f max and the minimum number of samples min_samples = 5.

[0120] S42. Perform multi-target cross-judgment. If there is multi-target crossing, perform dynamic decoupling and update the SET matrix.

[0121] S43. For the range-velocity coupling error caused by moving targets, use the Doppler frequency shift model real-time compensation algorithm. By calculating the real-time change rate of the target instantaneous frequency, correct the range-velocity coupling error.

[0122] S44. Output the time-frequency trajectory of the independent target.

[0123] To further implement the above technical solution, in step S41, the Mahalanobis distance criterion introduced for the overlapping clusters is as follows:

[0124]

[0125] where X i =[t i ,f i T is the time-frequency point coordinate, and μ j , Σ j are respectively the mean and covariance matrix of the j-th cluster;

[0126] In step S42, the Doppler frequency shift model is as follows:

[0127]

[0128] λ = c / f0

[0129] where c = 3×10 8 m / s, f0 is the starting frequency, Δf d (t) is the target instantaneous frequency change rate, and v(t) is the target motion speed.

[0130] In this embodiment, the clustering analysis result is as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen that the density clustering algorithm DBSCAN effectively separates the time-frequency points of the crossing trajectories (red and blue clusters), and at the same time correctly identifies the noise points (black). This result verifies the effectiveness of the density clustering algorithm in multi-target separation.

[0131] To further implement the above technical solution, the specific content of step S5 is as follows:

[0132] S51. Based on the preset interference feature library and the real-time time-frequency energy distribution, construct a dynamic time-frequency mask filter to filter out noise;

[0133] S52. For the time-frequency matrix energy distribution characteristics, adopt statistical-driven dynamic threshold adjustment to calculate the detection threshold and optimize the energy aggregation.

[0134] To further implement the above technical solution, in step S51, the dynamic time-frequency mask filter is specifically as follows:

[0135]

[0136] where R k is the interference area, which is identified through multi-level matching, including fixed clutter suppression and multipath interference detection;

[0137] ​In this embodiment, fixed clutter suppression specifically refers to filtering out low-frequency static reflection components with |f| < 10 Hz; multipath interference detection is to identify abnormal energy clusters with |τ - 2R direct / c| > 1 μs in the time-delay Doppler domain;

[0138] In step S52, the detection threshold is calculated as:

[0139] T(t) = μ(t) + k · σ(t)

[0140] where μ(t) is the mean time-frequency energy within the sliding window, i.e., the window length, σ(t) is the standard deviation, k is the frequency modulation slope, which is dynamically adjusted according to the signal-to-noise ratio, and k ∈ [2, 5];

[0141] Energy aggregation optimization is to integrate the energy of weak target signals across multiple time-frequency units through morphological dilation operations:

[0142]

[0143] where se is the structuring element, se = 3 × 3, E enhanced (t, f) is the processed time-frequency energy, and E(t, f) is the original time-frequency energy or signal;

[0144] In this embodiment, performance verification was carried out. The actual measurement shows that when the anti-interference processing is at a signal-to-noise ratio SNR = 0 dB, the false alarm rate is reduced to 10 -4 / frame, while ensuring that more than 95% of the weak targets (with energy 6 dB below the noise floor) can be effectively detected, and the interference suppression ratio (ISR) reaches 28 dB. When implemented in hardware, the energy statistic is calculated in parallel by FPGA, and the single-frame processing delay is controlled within 15 μs.

[0157] The ARM side runs the Linux system, is responsible for updating the interference rule library and visualizing the results, and interacts with the FPGA through the AXI bus (transmission bandwidth 4GB / s).
