DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0048] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0049] The module in this application refers to a functional module or a logical module. It can be in software form, and its functions are realized by executing program code by a processor; it can also be in hardware form. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0050] First, the terms involved in this application are explained:
[0051] Advanced Assisted Driving System (ADAS): A system that helps drivers improve safety and comfort during driving through sensors, cameras, radars and other technologies; ADAS can provide a variety of functions, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection, etc. These functions help drivers avoid potential dangers by monitoring the vehicle's surroundings in real time.
[0052] Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO): is a wireless communication technology that uses multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously, thereby improving the capacity and reliability of the communication system; MIMO technology can significantly improve spectrum efficiency, enhance signal anti-interference capabilities, and support higher data transmission rates.
[0053] Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA): is a multiple access technology that allows multiple users to share the same frequency resources in different time slots by dividing time into multiple time slots. Each user is assigned one or more time slots, and the user sends or receives data in his or her own time slot, thereby enabling multiple users to share the same frequency resources.
[0054] Doppler Division Multiple Access (DDMA) is a multiple access technology based on the Doppler effect. It distinguishes user signals by utilizing the Doppler frequency shift of different users. Doppler frequency division multiple access uses the different Doppler frequency shifts generated by the relative motion of different users to separate user signals, thereby enabling multiple users to share the same frequency resources.
[0055] Constant False-Alarm Rate (CFAR): is a signal processing technology used to maintain a constant false alarm rate in a noisy and interference environment, thereby effectively detecting target signals. CFAR detection dynamically adjusts the detection threshold so that the system can maintain a constant false alarm rate when noise and interference change, thereby improving the accuracy of target detection.
[0056] Fast Fourier Transform (FFT): An efficient algorithm for calculating discrete Fourier transform, used to convert time domain signals into frequency domain signals; Fast Fourier transform reduces computational complexity and quickly calculates the spectral components of signals, and is widely used in signal processing, image processing, audio analysis and other fields.
[0057] With the continuous development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems, millimeter wave radar has become an indispensable sensor in today's vehicle driving systems due to its advantages of long detection distance, low cost, and all-day and all-weather operation. At present, the mainstream single-chip millimeter wave radar device can realize the functions of distance measurement, speed measurement and angle measurement, but in order to further improve the system parameter estimation accuracy and angle resolution performance, the technology combining MIMO radar and sparse array is introduced on the basis of single-chip millimeter wave radar devices. This technology has low cost, simple structure, and is beneficial to achieve angle resolution in complex scenes. Therefore, it has received extensive attention and research in the automotive radar industry.
[0058] The angular resolution of radar is an important indicator. The best way to improve the angular resolution is to increase the number of physical transceiver antennas so that the virtual array synthesized by the transceiver antennas tends to be a uniform array, and the array aperture is effectively increased. However, the size of a single chip is limited, and it is impossible to arrange a large number of transceiver antennas. Although designing a sparse array can increase the array aperture, using an overly sparse virtual array for angle measurement can easily cause the angle measurement results to be blurred due to the influence of high side lobes. In order to obtain higher angle measurement accuracy and angle resolution and reduce the sidelobe influence caused by sparse arrays, many chip manufacturers have designed multi-chip cascading solutions. By cascading chips, the number of physical transceiver antennas is increased to achieve higher accuracy and higher resolution angle measurement functions. The design of multi-chip cascade devices is subject to the overall size and cost of the device. Generally, no more than four cascade chips are selected. Cascade chips are now mostly used in 4-dimensional (4D) millimeter-wave radars, which require both azimuth and elevation. The angular resolution of azimuth and elevation is generally required to be relatively high, about 1° and 3° respectively. Therefore, given the array resources and limited device size, it is still necessary to design a sparse array. Therefore, the angular measurement ambiguity problem caused by the higher side lobes of the sparse array needs to be solved.
[0059] The technical content provided by this application is intended to solve some technical problems of related technologies such as the above. In the target detection method, device, equipment, medium and product of the detection device provided by this application, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to send detection signals in time, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set send detection signals at the same time; wherein there is at least one overlapping transmitting antenna between multiple different transmitting antenna sets; then, the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained; wherein the echo signal corresponding to the transmitting antenna set is the echo signal corresponding to the detection signal sent by the transmitting antenna set received by the receiving antenna of the detection device; according to the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the target detection result is obtained; the scheme of this application divides multiple antenna sets, selects to send detection signals simultaneously within multiple antenna sets, sends detection signals in time between multiple antenna sets, and performs certain phase deviation compensation and matching between target detection results corresponding to multiple antenna sets according to the phase relationship between the echo signals of the overlapping transmitting antennas in multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of the target detection result of the detection device.
[0060] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0061] Embodiment 1
[0062] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; the method comprises:
[0063] Step 101, instructing a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets of a detection device to send out detection signals in time division; wherein there is at least one overlapping transmitting antenna among the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set send out detection signals simultaneously;
[0064] Step 102: Acquire echo signals corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets; the echo signal corresponding to the transmitting antenna set is an echo signal received by a receiving antenna of the detection device and corresponds to a detection signal emitted by the transmitting antenna set;
[0065] Step 103: Perform signal processing according to the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain the target detection result.
[0066] Specifically, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to send detection signals in time-sharing; wherein, there is at least one overlapping transmitting antenna between the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set use simultaneous detection signals. Exemplarily, the detection device can be a radar system composed of radar chips; multiple transmitting antennas and receiving antennas are arranged in the radar system; in this example, multiple different transmitting antenna sets are selected from multiple radar antennas, and an element of the transmitting antenna position in each different transmitting antenna set is the same. Afterwards, the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained; wherein, the echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antenna set are received by the receiving antenna of the detection device, and correspond to the detection signals sent by the transmitting antenna set. Further, by performing corresponding signal processing on the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the final target detection result detected by the radar system can be obtained. In this example, by instructing multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device to send detection signals in time-sharing, each transmitting antenna set sends detection signals at the same time; and then by performing signal processing detection on the echo signals received by the receiving antenna corresponding to each transmitting set, the final target detection result can be obtained. This example reduces signal interference between radar antennas and improves the accuracy of target detection results by the detection device by combining time-sharing transmission between multiple different transmitting antenna sets and simultaneous transmission within each transmitting antenna set.
[0067] In an optional implementation, time division multiple access is used between multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device to send detection signals in time division; and Doppler division multiple access is used within each transmitting antenna set to send detection signals simultaneously.
[0068] Specifically, the detection device includes a set of multiple transmitting antennas; each transmitting antenna set includes some transmitting antennas and all receiving antennas of the detection device; for each transmitting antenna set, Doppler division multiple access is used inside each transmitting antenna set to simultaneously transmit detection signals; exemplary, DDMA is to implement orthogonal waveform design in the Doppler domain, which inherits the characteristics of time division multiple access in the transmitter structure, but only adds a series of phase shifters separately, and the phase shifters can introduce specific Doppler frequency shifts in the transmitted signal by adjusting the phase of the signal. The signal of each user or transmission channel can produce different Doppler frequency shifts through different phase adjustments, thereby realizing orthogonal separation of the signal in the frequency domain. In addition, under the DDMA technology, since the transmitting elements can be transmitted at the same time, the transmission power of each transmission channel is fully utilized, which can improve the detection distance and other parameter estimation performance, and has become a popular method for orthogonal waveform design of vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radars today. For multiple different transmitting antenna sets, time division multiple access is used to send detection signals in time division; exemplary, time division multiple access transmission of detection signals is to transmit the detection signals between multiple transmitting antennas in time division. In this example, time division multiplexing is used to transmit signals between multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and Doppler multiplexing is used within each transmitting antenna set to simultaneously transmit detection signals, thereby ensuring the accuracy of radar detection signal transmission.
[0069] In an optional embodiment, Figure 2 A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; based on any example, signal processing is performed according to echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results, specifically including:
[0070] Step 201: Perform signal processing according to the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0071] Step 202: Obtain a final target detection result based on target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets.
[0072] Specifically, signal processing can be performed based on the echo signals received corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; based on the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the final detection result of the target detected by the detection device can be obtained. In this example, the final target detection result is obtained based on the target detection results corresponding to the multiple antenna sets, which improves the accuracy of the target detection result.
[0073] In an optional embodiment, Figure 3A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; signal processing is performed according to echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, including:
[0074] Step 301: Obtain virtual channel echo signals corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets according to the echo signals corresponding to each transmitting antenna set;
[0075] Step 302: Select a reference antenna set from a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets, and perform phase offset compensation on virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set among the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets according to virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0076] Step 303: Perform signal processing detection based on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets.
[0077] Specifically, it is necessary to perform signal processing according to the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. First, according to the echo signals corresponding to each transmitting antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained. After that, an antenna set is selected from multiple different transmitting antenna sets as a reference antenna set, and according to the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set in multiple different transmitting antenna sets are compensated; the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are processed and detected to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. In this example, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained based on echo signals of multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and then one transmitting antenna set is selected as a reference antenna combination, and phase compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set to obtain compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to each other transmitting antenna set; the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are subjected to signal processing and detection to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results of multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0078] In an optional implementation, obtaining virtual channel echo signals corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets according to the echo signals corresponding to each transmitting antenna set specifically includes:
[0079] For the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, two-dimensional Fourier transform, transmitting channel separation, two-dimensional Fourier transform result rearrangement and constant false alarm rate detection are respectively performed to obtain the target distance index and Doppler index corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0080] According to the target distance indexes and Doppler indexes corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained.
[0081] Specifically, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained according to the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets; first, two-dimensional Fourier transform, transmission channel separation, two-dimensional Fourier transform result rearrangement and constant false alarm rate detection are performed on the echo signals corresponding to each transmitting antenna set to obtain the signal processing results of the echo signals of each transmitting antenna set, thereby obtaining the distance index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmitting set. Two-dimensional Fourier transform is a mathematical tool for converting time domain signals into frequency domain signals; in signal processing, two-dimensional fast Fourier transform is used to convert the received time domain signal into a range-Doppler domain signal; through two-dimensional fast Fourier transform, the distance information (through range dimension fast Fourier transform) and speed information (through Doppler dimension fast Fourier transform) of the target can be extracted. In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, multiple transmitting antennas transmit signals simultaneously or in time-sharing; the receiving end needs to separate these mixed signals to distinguish the signals of different transmitting channels; separate the signals of different transmitting channels so that subsequent processing can independently analyze the target information of each transmitting channel; improve the resolution and target detection capability of the radar system. In a MIMO radar system, the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform results of different transmitting channels need to be rearranged to generate a virtual array signal; by rearranging, a virtual array signal can be generated, thereby improving the angular resolution of the radar; the virtual array signal can be used for subsequent angle estimation and target positioning. Constant false alarm rate detection is a signal processing technology used to maintain a constant false alarm rate in a noisy and interfering environment, thereby effectively detecting target signals; the constant false alarm rate dynamically adjusts the detection threshold so that the system can still maintain a constant false alarm rate when noise and interference change; improves the accuracy of target detection and reduces false alarms. According to the target distance index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmitting antenna set obtained, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets can be obtained. In this example, by performing signal processing on the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the echo signals of the virtual channels of multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained, which improves the accuracy of the virtual generation of virtual channel echo signals, thereby improving the accuracy of the target angle measurement results.
[0082] In an optional embodiment, Figure 4 A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; based on any example, according to the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the phase deviation compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set in multiple different transmitting antenna sets, specifically including:
[0083] Step 401: Obtain a target speed detected by the reference antenna set according to a target Doppler index obtained from an echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0084] Step 402: Expand the target speed detected by the reference antenna set according to the working parameters of the detection device to obtain multiple expanded speeds;
[0085] Step 403: Obtain the phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed according to the target speed detected by the reference antenna set and the time difference between other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set;
[0086] Step 404: According to the phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each expansion speed, phase deviation compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets.
[0087] Specifically, first, according to the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained; then, according to the working parameters of the detection device, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple extended speeds; illustratively, the working parameters of the detection device include the speed resolution of the detection device, the speed measurement range, and the maximum unambiguous speed. Further, according to the target speed detected by the reference antenna set and the time difference between the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set, the phase deviation of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed is obtained; according to the phase deviation of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets are compensated. In this example, by obtaining the phase deviation between the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set and compensating for the other transmitting antenna sets, the consistency and accuracy of the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are improved.
[0088] In an optional implementation, obtaining the target speed detected by the reference antenna set according to the Sopler index obtained from the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set specifically includes:
[0089] The target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained according to the target Doppler index obtained by processing the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the working parameters of the detection device.
[0090] Specifically, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained according to the target Doppler index obtained by processing the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the working parameters of the detection device. Exemplarily, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained by the formula:

In this example, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained through the working parameters of the detection device and the target Doppler index of the reference antenna set, which improves the accuracy of the target speed detected by the reference antenna set.
[0095] In an optional implementation, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple expanded speeds, specifically including:
[0096] According to the working parameters of the detection device, a plurality of speed expansion multiples are obtained;
[0097] According to the multiple speed expansion multiples, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple expanded speeds; the multiple expanded speeds correspond to the multiple speed expansion multiples one by one.
[0098] Specifically, according to the working parameters of the detection device, multiple speed expansion multiples can be obtained; further, according to the multiple speed expansion multiples, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple expansion speeds; wherein the multiple expansion speeds correspond to the multiple speed expansion multiples one by one. For example, if the speed measurement range of the detection device is , the maximum unambiguous speed is , then the maximum speed expansion multiple is:
[0099]
[0100] in, Indicates rounding up. Indicates the minimum measured speed; Indicates the maximum measured speed; represents the maximum unambiguous speed; Indicates the maximum speed expansion multiple, which is the optional speed expansion multiple range Medium speed expansion multiple The number of; the calculation formula is:

[0111] In this example, the extended speeds corresponding to different speed extension multiples are obtained by referring to the target speed detected by the antenna set and the optional speed extension multiples, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the extended speed.
[0112] In an optional manner, according to the phase deviation of the other transmitting antenna set at each extended speed, the phase deviation compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna set, specifically including:
[0113] The phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each extension speed is multiplied by the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets after compensation.
[0114] Specifically, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are compensated, and the phase deviations of other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed are multiplied by the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets. In combination with the above example, according to the target speed and speed expansion multiple detected by the reference antenna set obtained above, the virtual channel echo signals of other reference antenna sets other than the reference antenna set are compensated to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets. The specific calculation formula is:

In this example, by performing phase offset compensation on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets, virtual channel echo signals of multiple different transmitting antenna sets after compensation are obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the virtual channel echo signals of each transmitting antenna set.
[0119] In an optional implementation, the target detection result includes the speed and angle of the target.
[0120] Specifically, the target detection result includes the angle and speed of the target. In practical applications, the detection result also includes the distance and signal-to-noise ratio of the target. Exemplarily, the angle of the target includes the azimuth angle in the horizontal direction and the pitch angle in the vertical direction. In this example, the accuracy of the target detection result is improved by performing a comprehensive detection on the target detection result.
[0121] In an optional embodiment, Figure 5 A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; based on any example, signal processing detection is performed according to the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signal corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, including:
[0122] Step 501: for each transmitting antenna set other than the reference antenna set, according to the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antennas that overlap after compensation between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set, obtain the phase difference of the virtual channel echo signals between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds;
[0123] Step 502: Use the expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase differences as the target speed detected by each transmitting antenna set, and obtain target speed detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0124] Specifically, in combination with the above examples, signal processing detection is performed based on the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target speed detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. First, for each other transmitting antenna set except the reference antenna set, the phase difference of the virtual channel between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds is obtained based on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the overlapping transmitting antenna after compensation between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set; the expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the obtained phase differences is used as the final actual speed of the detected target; the actual speed of the target is used as the target speed detected by each transmitting antenna set to obtain target speed detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. Exemplarily, the speed expansion multiple corresponding to the minimum phase difference can be calculated, and the speed corresponding to the speed expansion multiple is the actual speed of the target. In this example, the virtual channel positions of the overlapping antennas of each other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set are the same, so there is no phase difference caused by the spatial array element spacing. There is only a phase difference caused by the TDMA time-sharing transmission target speed between the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set. When the correct target actual speed is used for complete Doppler phase offset compensation, the sum of the absolute values of the phase differences between the virtual channels corresponding to the transmitting antennas of the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set is close to 0. Therefore, the final speed of the target can be determined by searching for the minimum value of the sum of the absolute values of the virtual channel phase differences at the same position of the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference transmitting antenna set under different speed expansion multiples. The calculation formula is:
[0125]
[0126] in, Indicates the first virtual antenna in the reference antenna set and other antenna sets that have the same position as the overlapping virtual antenna. The channels of the virtual receiving antennas are expanded by a factor of When , the corresponding virtual channel echo signal after Doppler compensation corresponding to the other transmitting antenna set; Indicates the number of virtual channels; The first virtual antenna in the reference antenna set that overlaps with other antenna sets A virtual channel echo signal of a virtual channel; Indicates taking the minimum value, It indicates the speed expansion multiple corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase difference of the virtual channel echo signals of the other antenna set and the reference antenna set; n indicates the number of overlapping virtual channels in the reference antenna set and other antenna sets with the same position. The corresponding expansion speed That is, the actual speed of the determined target. In this example, by calculating the phase difference of the virtual channel echo signal at the same position of the other antenna sets and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds, the expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase difference is taken as the actual speed of the target, eliminating the error and improving the accuracy of the target speed detection.
[0127] In an optional embodiment, Figure 6 A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; based on any example, target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained according to the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets, including:
[0128] Step 601: Obtain target angles corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets according to a virtual channel echo signal corresponding to a reference antenna set and compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets;
[0129] Step 602: Use the target angles detected by the multiple different transmitting antenna sets as target angle detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0130] Specifically, the actual angles of the targets corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets can be calculated based on the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets. Furthermore, the actual angle of the target is used as the target angle detected by each transmitting antenna set to obtain the target angles corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets. In this example, the target angle is calculated by the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of the target angle detection.
[0131] In an optional embodiment, Figure 7 The example shows a flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device; the target detection result corresponding to the transmitting antenna set includes multiple target detection results, and the final target detection result is obtained according to the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, including:
[0132] Step 701: Determine a threshold condition according to target detection results corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets and working parameters of a detection device;
[0133] Step 702: according to the threshold condition, remove the false target detection results that do not meet the threshold condition from the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0134] Step 703: After removing the false target detection results, the target detection result corresponding to the transmitting antenna set with the largest effective aperture among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets is taken as the final target detection result.
[0135] Specifically, in combination with the foregoing example, the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are calculated through the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; illustratively, the target detection results include information such as the angle, speed, distance, and signal-to-noise ratio of the target; the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set may include the detection results of one or more targets; for example, for speed, the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set include the results of multiple speeds; and also include the results of multiple angles, signal ratios, and distances. The threshold conditions are determined based on the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna sets and the working parameters of the detection device; illustratively, the working parameters of the detection device here may refer to the waveform configuration parameters of the system;
[0136] According to the determined threshold conditions, the false target detection results that do not meet the threshold conditions are eliminated from the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; after eliminating the false target detection results, the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set with the largest effective aperture among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are used as the final target detection results. In this example, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved by eliminating the false target detection results from the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets and then using the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set with the largest array aperture as the final target detection result.
[0137] In an optional implementation, according to a threshold condition, removing false sub-target detection results that do not meet the threshold condition from target detection results corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets includes:
[0138] Subtracting target detection information in target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set from target detection information in target detection results corresponding to other transmit antenna sets;
[0139] Determine whether the pairwise difference results of the target detection information meet the threshold condition for matching the target detection results of the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; the threshold condition for matching the target detection results of the multiple different transmitting antenna sets represents the limit range of the difference between the target detection results corresponding to each other transmitting antenna set and the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0140] If the result of pairwise difference of target detection information does not satisfy the threshold condition for matching target detection results between multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the target detection results corresponding to the target information that does not satisfy the threshold condition for matching target detection results between multiple different transmitting antenna sets in the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set are eliminated as false target detection results.
[0141] Specifically, each target detection information in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is subtracted from each target detection information in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets; illustratively, the distance, speed angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of a certain target in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is subtracted from the distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets; that is, the distance detection value of a certain target in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is subtracted from the distance detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets to form multiple distance difference results; similarly, the reference antenna set is used to detect the distance of a certain target in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set, and the speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets are used to detect the distance of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets. The speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection values of the target corresponding to the line set are subtracted from the speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection values of each target in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets, and multiple speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio difference results are also formed; it is judged whether the difference result meets the determined threshold condition; the threshold condition characterizes the limit of the detection difference between the target detection results corresponding to each other transmitting antenna set and the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set; if one of the difference results (difference in distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio) does not meet the determined threshold condition, then the target detection result that does not meet the threshold condition in the target detection results corresponding to the corresponding two transmitting antenna sets is eliminated as a false target detection result. Exemplarily, any target detection result of the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set and each target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are selected for pairwise difference calculation, and it is judged whether the difference result meets the threshold condition; for example:
[0142]
[0143] in, Respectively represent the sub-target detection results of distance, speed, angle, and signal-to-noise ratio in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set; Respectively represent any distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of the target detection result corresponding to any other transmitting antenna set; Respectively represent the distance threshold condition, speed threshold condition, angle threshold condition and signal-to-noise ratio threshold condition. If the difference results of distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio all meet the threshold conditions, then the target detection result in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set and the target detection result that meets the threshold conditions in any other reference antenna set are saved, and at the same time, the target detection result in any other reference antenna set that meets at least one threshold condition and at most three threshold conditions is eliminated as a false target detection result. If any one of the difference results of distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio does not meet the threshold condition, then the target detection result in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is eliminated as a false target detection result. Exemplarily, Figure 8 A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device according to an example of the present application; taking two different transmitting antenna sets as examples, the two different transmitting antenna sets are respectively a first transmitting antenna set and a second transmitting antenna set, with the first transmitting antenna set being a reference transmitting antenna set; according to the target distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection values of the received target detection results corresponding to the first transmitting antenna set and the second transmitting antenna set, setting threshold conditions for the target distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio ; Afterwards, traverse the target detection information of the target detection results of the first launch day set , searching for information matching the second transmitting antenna set , the corresponding Corresponding to the first transmit antenna set , respectively; determine whether the difference results all meet the condition of being less than the threshold value, if so, retain the target detection information corresponding to the first transmitting antenna set and the second transmitting antenna set; if not, delete the target detection information of the first transmitting antenna set and the second transmitting antenna set at the same time.
[0144] In this example, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved by subtracting each target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set from any target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets; and eliminating false target detection results according to the threshold condition.

[0162] Fig.32 The schematic diagram of the structure of a target detection device of a detection device is shown as an example; Fig.31 As shown, the device comprises:
[0163] The transmitting module 21 is used to instruct multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device to send detection signals in time division; wherein there is at least one overlapping transmitting antenna among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set send detection signals at the same time;
[0164] The acquisition module 22 is used to acquire echo signals corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets; the echo signal corresponding to the transmitting antenna set is an echo signal received by a receiving antenna of the detection device and corresponds to the detection signal emitted by the transmitting antenna set;
[0165] Processing module 23: used to perform signal processing according to the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results.
[0166] Specifically, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to send detection signals in time-sharing; wherein, there is at least one overlapping transmitting antenna between the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set use simultaneous detection signals. Exemplarily, the detection device can be a radar system composed of radar chips; multiple transmitting antennas and receiving antennas are arranged in the radar system; in this example, multiple different transmitting antenna sets are selected from multiple radar antennas, and an element of the transmitting antenna position in each different transmitting antenna set is the same. Afterwards, the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained; wherein, the echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antenna set are received by the receiving antenna of the detection device, and correspond to the detection signals sent by the transmitting antenna set. Further, by performing corresponding signal processing on the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the final target detection result detected by the radar system can be obtained. In this example, by instructing multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device to send detection signals in time-sharing, each transmitting antenna set sends detection signals at the same time; and then by performing signal processing detection on the echo signals received by the receiving antenna corresponding to each transmitting set, the final target detection result can be obtained. This example reduces signal interference between radar antennas and improves the accuracy of target detection results by the detection device by combining time-sharing transmission between multiple different transmitting antenna sets and simultaneous transmission within each transmitting antenna set.
[0167] In an optional implementation, time division multiple access is used between multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device to send detection signals in time division; and Doppler division multiple access is used within each transmitting antenna set to send detection signals simultaneously.
[0168] Specifically, the detection device includes a set of multiple transmitting antennas; each transmitting antenna set includes some transmitting antennas and all receiving antennas of the detection device; for each transmitting antenna set, Doppler division multiple access is used inside each transmitting antenna set to simultaneously transmit detection signals; exemplary, DDMA is to implement orthogonal waveform design in the Doppler domain, which inherits the characteristics of time division multiple access in the transmitter structure, but only adds a series of phase shifters separately, and the phase shifters can introduce specific Doppler frequency shifts in the transmitted signal by adjusting the phase of the signal. The signal of each user or transmission channel can produce different Doppler frequency shifts through different phase adjustments, thereby realizing orthogonal separation of the signal in the frequency domain. In addition, under the DDMA technology, since the transmitting elements can be transmitted at the same time, the transmission power of each transmission channel is fully utilized, which can improve the detection distance and other parameter estimation performance, and has become a popular method for orthogonal waveform design of vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radars today. For multiple different transmitting antenna sets, time division multiple access is used to send detection signals in time division; exemplary, time division multiple access transmission of detection signals is to transmit the detection signals between multiple transmitting antennas in time division. In this example, time division multiplexing is used to transmit signals between multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and Doppler multiplexing is used within each transmitting antenna set to simultaneously transmit detection signals, thereby ensuring the accuracy of radar detection signal transmission.
[0169] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0170] Perform signal processing according to the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0171] The final target detection result is obtained according to the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0172] Specifically, signal processing can be performed based on the echo signals received corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; based on the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the final detection result of the target detected by the detection device can be obtained. In this example, the final target detection result is obtained based on the target detection results corresponding to the multiple antenna sets, which improves the accuracy of the target detection result.
[0173] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0174] According to the echo signal corresponding to each transmitting antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained;
[0175] A reference antenna set is selected from a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets, and virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set in the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets are compensated for phase deviation according to the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0176] Signal processing detection is performed based on the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0177] Specifically, it is necessary to perform signal processing according to the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. First, according to the echo signals corresponding to each transmitting antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained. After that, an antenna set is selected from multiple different transmitting antenna sets as a reference antenna set, and according to the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set in multiple different transmitting antenna sets are compensated; the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are processed and detected to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. In this example, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained based on echo signals of multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and then one transmitting antenna set is selected as a reference antenna combination, and phase compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set to obtain compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to each other transmitting antenna set; signal processing and detection are performed on the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of detection results of multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0178] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0179] For the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, two-dimensional Fourier transform, transmitting channel separation, two-dimensional Fourier transform result rearrangement and constant false alarm rate detection are respectively performed to obtain the target distance index and Doppler index corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0180] According to the target distance indexes and Doppler indexes corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained.
[0181] Specifically, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained according to the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets; first, two-dimensional Fourier transform is performed on the echo signals corresponding to each transmitting antenna set, and the transmission channel separation, two-dimensional Fourier transform result rearrangement and constant false alarm rate detection are processed to obtain the signal processing results of the echo signals of each transmitting antenna set, thereby obtaining the distance index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmitting set. Two-dimensional Fourier transform is a mathematical tool for converting time domain signals into frequency domain signals; in signal processing, two-dimensional fast Fourier transform is used to convert the received time domain signal into a range-Doppler domain signal; through two-dimensional fast Fourier transform, the distance information (through range dimension fast Fourier transform) and speed information (through Doppler dimension fast Fourier transform) of the target can be extracted. In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, multiple transmitting antennas transmit signals simultaneously or in time-sharing; the receiving end needs to separate these mixed signals to distinguish the signals of different transmitting channels; separate the signals of different transmitting channels so that subsequent processing can independently analyze the target information of each transmitting channel; improve the resolution and target detection capability of the radar system. In a MIMO radar system, the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform results of different transmitting channels need to be rearranged to generate a virtual array signal; by rearranging, a virtual array signal can be generated, thereby improving the angular resolution of the radar; the virtual array signal can be used for subsequent angle estimation and target positioning. Constant false alarm rate detection is a signal processing technology used to maintain a constant false alarm rate in a noisy and interfering environment, thereby effectively detecting target signals; the constant false alarm rate dynamically adjusts the detection threshold so that the system can still maintain a constant false alarm rate when noise and interference change; improves the accuracy of target detection and reduces false alarms. According to the target distance index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmitting antenna set obtained, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets can be obtained. In this example, by performing signal processing on the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the echo signals of the virtual channels of multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained, which improves the accuracy of the virtual generation of virtual channel echo signals, thereby improving the accuracy of the target angle measurement results.

[0186] According to the phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each expansion speed, the phase deviation of the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets is compensated.
[0187] Specifically, first, according to the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained; then, according to the working parameters of the detection device, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple extended speeds; illustratively, the working parameters of the detection device include the speed resolution of the detection device, the speed measurement range, and the maximum unambiguous speed. Further, according to the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set and the time difference between other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set, the phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed is obtained; based on the phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed, the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets is compensated. In this example, by obtaining the phase deviation between other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set and compensating for other transmitting antenna sets, the consistency and accuracy of the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are improved.
[0188] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:

[0190] Specifically, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained according to the target Doppler index obtained by processing the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the working parameters of the detection device. Exemplarily, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained by the formula:

In this example, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained through the working parameters of the detection device and the target Doppler index of the reference antenna set, which improves the accuracy of the target speed detected by the reference antenna set.

[0196] According to the working parameters of the detection device, a plurality of speed expansion multiples are obtained;
[0197] According to the multiple speed expansion multiples, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple expanded speeds; the multiple expanded speeds correspond to the multiple speed expansion multiples one by one.
[0198] Specifically, according to the working parameters of the detection device, multiple speed expansion multiples can be obtained; further, according to the multiple speed expansion multiples, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is expanded to obtain multiple expanded speeds; wherein the multiple expanded speeds correspond to the multiple speed expansion multiples one by one. For example, if the speed measurement range of the detection device is , the maximum unambiguous speed is , then the maximum speed expansion multiple is:

[0200] in, Indicates rounding up. Indicates the minimum measured speed; Indicates the maximum measured speed; represents the maximum unambiguous speed; Indicates the maximum speed expansion multiple, which is the optional speed expansion multiple range Medium speed expansion multiple The number of; the calculation formula is:

[0210] in, Indicates the expansion speed corresponding to different speed expansion multiples, represents the target speed detected by the reference antenna set, , Indicates different speed expansion multiples, Indicates the maximum unambiguous speed of the detection device.
[0211] In this example, the extended speeds corresponding to different speed extension multiples are obtained by referring to the target speed detected by the antenna set and the optional speed extension multiples, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the extended speed.
[0212] In an optional manner, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0213] The phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets at each extension speed is multiplied by the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets after compensation.
[0214] Specifically, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are compensated, and the phase deviations of other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed are multiplied by the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets. In combination with the above example, according to the target speed and speed expansion multiple detected by the reference antenna set obtained above, the virtual channel echo signals of other reference antenna sets other than the reference antenna set are compensated to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets. The specific calculation formula is:
[0215]

In this example, by performing phase offset compensation on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets, virtual channel echo signals of multiple different transmitting antenna sets after compensation are obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the virtual channel echo signals of each transmitting antenna set.
[0219] In an optional implementation, the target detection result includes the target speed and angle.
[0220] Specifically, the target detection result includes the angle and speed of the target. In practical applications, the detection result also includes the distance and signal-to-noise ratio of the target. Exemplarily, the angle of the target includes the azimuth angle in the horizontal direction and the pitch angle in the vertical direction. In this example, the accuracy of the target detection result is improved by performing a comprehensive detection on the target detection result.
[0221] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0222] For each transmitting antenna set other than the reference antenna set, according to the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antennas that overlap after compensation between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set, obtain the phase difference of the virtual channel echo signals between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds;
[0223] The expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase differences is used as the target speed detected by each transmitting antenna set, and target speed detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained.
[0224] Specifically, in combination with the above example, signal processing detection is performed according to the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antennas to obtain target speed detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets. First, for each other transmitting antenna set except the reference antenna set, the phase difference of the virtual channel between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds is obtained according to the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the overlapping transmitting antenna after compensation between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set; the expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the obtained phase differences is used as the actual speed of the final detected target; the actual speed of the target is used as the speed of the target detected by each transmitting antenna set, and the target speed detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained. Exemplarily, the speed expansion multiple corresponding to the minimum phase difference can be calculated, and the speed corresponding to the speed expansion multiple is the actual speed of the target. In this example, the virtual channel positions of the overlapping antennas of each other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set are the same, so there is no phase difference caused by the spatial array element spacing. There is only a phase difference caused by the TDMA time-sharing transmission of the target speed by the two subarrays of the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set. When the correct target actual speed is used for complete Doppler phase deviation compensation, the sum of the absolute values of the phase differences of the virtual channels of the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set is close to 0. Therefore, the final speed of the target can be determined by searching for the minimum value of the sum of the absolute values of the phase differences of the virtual channels at the same position of the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference transmitting antenna set under different speed expansion multiples. The calculation formula is:
[0225]
[0226] in, Indicates the first virtual antenna in the reference antenna set and other antenna sets that have the same position as the overlapping virtual antenna. The channels of the virtual receiving antennas are expanded by a factor of When , the corresponding virtual channel echo signal after Doppler compensation corresponding to the other transmitting antenna set; Indicates the number of virtual channels; The first virtual antenna in the reference antenna set that overlaps with other antenna sets A virtual channel echo signal of a virtual channel; Indicates taking the minimum value, It indicates the speed expansion multiple corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase difference of the virtual channel echo signals of the other antenna set and the reference antenna set; n indicates the number of overlapping virtual channels in the reference antenna set and other antenna sets with the same position. The corresponding expansion speed That is, the actual speed of the determined target. In this example, by calculating the phase difference of the virtual channel echo signal at the same position of the other antenna sets and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds, the expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase difference is taken as the actual speed of the target, eliminating the error and improving the accuracy of the target speed detection.
[0227] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0228] Obtain target angles corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets according to a virtual channel echo signal corresponding to a reference antenna set and compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets;
[0229] The target angles detected by the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are used as the target angle detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0230] Specifically, the actual angles of the targets corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets can be calculated based on the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets. Furthermore, the actual angle of the target is used as the target angle detected by each transmitting antenna set to obtain the target angles corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets. In this example, the target angle is calculated by the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of the target angle detection.
[0231] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0232] Determining a threshold condition according to target detection results corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets and working parameters of a detection device;
[0233] According to the threshold condition, false target detection results that do not meet the threshold condition are eliminated from the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0234] After eliminating false target detection results, the target detection result corresponding to the transmitting antenna set with the largest effective aperture among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets is used as the final target detection result.
[0235] Specifically, in combination with the foregoing example, the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are calculated through the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets; illustratively, the target detection results include information such as the angle, speed, distance, and signal-to-noise ratio of the target; the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set may include the detection results of one or more targets. For example, for speed, the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set include multiple speed results; similarly, multiple angles, signal ratios, and distance results are also included. Based on the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set and the working parameters of the detection device, the threshold conditions are determined; illustratively, the working parameters of the detection device here may refer to the waveform configuration parameters of the system;
[0236] According to the determined threshold conditions, the false target detection results that do not meet the threshold conditions are eliminated from the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; after eliminating the false target detection results, the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set with the largest effective aperture among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are used as the final target detection results. In this example, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved by eliminating the false target detection results from the target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets and then using the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set with the largest array aperture as the final target detection result.
[0237] In an optional implementation, the processing module 23 is used to:
[0238] Subtracting target detection information in target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set from target detection information in target detection results corresponding to other transmit antenna sets;
[0239] Determine whether the pairwise difference results of the target detection information meet the threshold condition for matching the target detection results of the multiple different transmitting antenna sets; the threshold condition for matching the target detection results of the multiple different transmitting antenna sets represents the limit range of the difference between the target detection results corresponding to each other transmitting antenna set and the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0240] If the result of pairwise difference of target detection information does not satisfy the threshold condition for matching target detection results between multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the target detection results corresponding to the target information that does not satisfy the threshold condition for matching target detection results between multiple different transmitting antenna sets in the target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set are eliminated as false target detection results.
[0241] Specifically, each target detection information in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is subtracted from each target detection information in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets; illustratively, the distance, speed angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of a certain target in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is subtracted from the distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets; that is, the distance detection value of a certain target in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is subtracted from the distance detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets to form multiple distance difference results; similarly, the reference antenna set is used to detect the distance of a certain target in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set, and the speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets are used to detect the distance of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets. The speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection values of the target corresponding to the line set are subtracted from the speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection values of each target in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets, and multiple speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio difference results are also formed; it is judged whether the difference result meets the determined threshold condition; the threshold condition characterizes the limit of the detection difference between the target detection results corresponding to each other transmitting antenna set and the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set; if one of the difference results (difference in distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio) does not meet the determined threshold condition, then the target detection result that does not meet the threshold condition in the target detection results corresponding to the corresponding two transmitting antenna sets is eliminated as a false target detection result. Exemplarily, any target detection result of the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set and each target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets are selected for pairwise difference calculation, and it is judged whether the difference result meets the threshold condition; for example:
[0242]
[0243] in, Respectively represent the sub-target detection results of distance, speed, angle, and signal-to-noise ratio in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set; Respectively represent any distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio detection value of the target detection result corresponding to any other transmitting antenna set; Respectively represent the distance threshold condition, speed threshold condition, angle threshold condition and signal-to-noise ratio threshold condition. If the difference results of distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio all meet the threshold conditions, then the target detection result in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set and the target detection result that meets the threshold conditions in any other reference antenna set are saved, and at the same time, the target detection result in any other reference antenna set that meets at least one threshold condition and at most three threshold conditions is eliminated as a false target detection result. If any one of the difference results of distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio does not meet the threshold condition, then the target detection result in the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set is eliminated as a false target detection result.
[0244] In this example, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved by subtracting each target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set from any target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets; and eliminating false target detection results according to the threshold condition.

[0247] If the detection device includes multiple radar chips, the transmitting antennas of the multiple radar chips are divided to obtain multiple different transmitting antenna sets; wherein each transmitting antenna set is obtained by dividing the transmitting antennas of multiple different radar chips.
[0248] Specifically, the detection device of this example includes at least one radar chip; if the detection device includes only one radar chip, then the transmitting antenna of the radar chip is divided into a plurality of sets of different transmitting antennas, and there is a transmitting antenna with the same element among the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets. If the detection device includes multiple radar chips, the transmitting antennas of the multiple radar chips are divided into a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets; wherein each transmitting antenna set is divided into the transmitting antennas of multiple different radar chips.
[0249] In this example, by dividing the transmitting antenna of the radar chip, a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets are obtained; thereby improving the utilization rate of the transmitting antenna of the radar chip and the degree of freedom of dividing the transmitting antenna.
[0250] In the target detection device of the detection device provided in the present embodiment, a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to send out detection signals in time, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set send out detection signals at the same time; wherein, there is at least one overlapping transmitting antenna between the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets; then, echo signals corresponding to the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets are obtained; wherein the echo signal corresponding to the transmitting antenna set is an echo signal received by the receiving antenna of the detection device, corresponding to the detection signal sent out by the transmitting antenna set; according to the echo signals corresponding to the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets, signal processing is performed to obtain target detection results; the scheme of the present application adopts a method of simultaneously sending out detection signals within a plurality of antenna sets and sending out detection signals in time between a plurality of antenna sets, and performs phase deviation compensation according to the echo signals corresponding to the overlapping transmitting antennas in the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets, and eliminates false targets through threshold conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of the target detection results of the detection device.
