These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0048] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.
[0049] A module in this application refers to a functional module or a logical module. It can be in software form, where a processor executes program code to implement its functionality, or it can be in hardware form. "And / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0050] First, let’s explain the terms involved in this application:
[0051] Advanced Assisted Driving System (ADAS): A system that uses sensors, cameras, radar, and other technologies to help drivers improve safety and comfort while driving. ADAS can provide a variety of functions, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot detection. 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 communication systems. 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 by dividing time into multiple time slots. Each user is assigned one or more time slots and sends or receives data within their own time slot, thus 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 uses the Doppler frequency shift of different users to distinguish user signals. DDMA uses the different Doppler frequency shifts caused 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): A signal processing technique used to maintain a constant false-alarm rate in noisy and interfering environments, thereby effectively detecting target signals. CFAR detection dynamically adjusts the detection threshold, allowing the system to maintain a constant false-alarm rate despite changes in noise and interference, thereby improving target detection accuracy.
[0056] Fast Fourier Transform (FFT): An efficient algorithm for calculating the discrete Fourier transform, used to convert time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals. The FFT reduces computational complexity and quickly calculates the spectral components of a signal. It 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 essential sensor in today's in-vehicle driving systems due to its advantages such as long detection range, low cost, and all-day and all-weather operation. Currently, mainstream single-chip millimeter-wave radar devices can perform ranging, speed, and angle measurement. However, to further improve system parameter estimation accuracy and angular resolution performance, MIMO radar and sparse array technology have been introduced based on single-chip millimeter-wave radar devices. This technology is low-cost, simple in structure, and beneficial for achieving angular resolution in complex scenes. Therefore, it has attracted widespread attention and research in the automotive radar industry.
[0058] Angular resolution is a critical metric for radar. The best way to improve angular resolution is to increase the number of physical transceiver antennas, making the resulting virtual array more uniform and effectively increasing the array aperture. However, the limited size of a single chip prevents the arrangement of a large number of transceiver antennas. While designing a sparse array can increase the array aperture, using an overly sparse virtual array for angle measurement is prone to fuzzy angle measurement results due to high sidelobes. To achieve higher angle measurement accuracy and resolution and reduce the sidelobe effects of sparse arrays, many chip manufacturers have designed multi-chip cascade solutions. By cascading chips, the number of physical transceiver antennas can be increased, achieving higher-precision and higher-resolution angle measurement. The design of multi-chip cascaded devices is constrained by the overall size and cost of the device. Generally, no more than four cascaded chips are selected. Cascaded 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 high, around 1° and 3°, respectively. Therefore, given the array resources and limited device size, a sparse array still needs to be designed. Therefore, the angular measurement ambiguity caused by the high sidelobes 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, a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to send detection signals in time-sharing, 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 the 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 the multiple antenna sets, selects to send detection signals simultaneously within the multiple antenna sets, sends detection signals in time-sharing between the multiple antenna sets, and performs certain phase deviation compensation and matching between the target detection results corresponding to the multiple antenna sets according to the phase relationship between the echo signals of the overlapping transmitting antennas in the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of the target detection result of the detection device.
[0060] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. 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] Example 1
[0062] Figure 1 A flow chart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplarily shown; the method comprises:
[0063] Step 101: Instruct multiple different transmitting antenna sets of a detection device to send detection signals in a time-sharing manner; 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 simultaneously;
[0064] Step 102: Acquire echo signals corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets; the echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antenna sets are echo signals received by the receiving antennas of the detection device and corresponding to the detection signals emitted by the transmitting antenna sets;
[0065] Step 103: Perform signal processing based on the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results.
[0066] Specifically, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to transmit detection signals in a time-sharing manner; at least one transmitting antenna overlaps among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas within each transmitting antenna set transmit detection signals simultaneously. Exemplarily, the detection device may be a radar system comprising a radar chip; multiple transmitting antennas and receiving antennas are arranged within the radar system. In this example, multiple different transmitting antenna sets are selected from the multiple radar antennas, and each of the different transmitting antenna sets has an element at the same transmitting antenna position. Echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are then obtained; the echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antenna sets are echo signals received by the receiving antennas of the detection device and correspond to the detection signals emitted by the transmitting antenna sets. Furthermore, the echo signals corresponding to the multiple transmitting antenna sets are processed accordingly to obtain a final target detection result from the radar system. In this example, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to transmit detection signals in a time-sharing manner, with each transmitting antenna set transmitting detection signals simultaneously. Signal processing is then performed on the echo signals received by the receiving antennas corresponding to each transmitting antenna set to obtain a final target detection result. 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 a time-division manner; and Doppler division multiple access is used within each transmitting antenna set to send detection signals simultaneously.
[0068] Specifically, the detection device includes multiple transmit antenna sets; each transmit antenna set includes a portion of the transmit antennas and all of the receive antennas of the detection device. Within each transmit antenna set, Doppler division multiple access (DDMA) is used to simultaneously transmit detection signals. Exemplarily, DDMA implements orthogonal waveform design in the Doppler domain. It inherits the characteristics of time-division multiple access (TD-DMA) in the transmitter structure, but adds a series of phase shifters. These phase shifters adjust the signal phase to introduce a specific Doppler shift into the transmitted signal. Signals from each user or transmit channel can be phase-adjusted to produce different Doppler shifts, thereby achieving orthogonal separation of the signals in the frequency domain. Furthermore, because DDMA technology allows simultaneous transmission of transmitting elements, it fully utilizes the transmit power of each transmit channel, improving detection range and other parameter estimation performance, making it a popular method for orthogonal waveform design in automotive millimeter-wave radars. TD-DMA is used to time-share the transmission of detection signals between multiple transmit antenna sets. Exemplarily, TDMA involves time-sharing the transmission of detection signals between multiple transmit antennas. 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 flowchart of a target detection method of a detection device is exemplified. Based on any example, signal processing is performed based on echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results, specifically including:
[0070] Step 201: Perform signal processing based on echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets;
[0071] Step 202: Obtain a final target detection result based on the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets.
[0072] Specifically, signal processing can be performed based on the echo signals received by multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple transmit antenna sets. Based on the target detection results corresponding to the multiple transmit antenna sets, a final target detection result 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, thereby improving the accuracy of the target detection result.
[0073] In an optional embodiment, Figure 3A flow chart illustrating a target detection method of a detection device is shown as an example. Signal processing is performed based on echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets, including:
[0074] Step 301: Obtain virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets based on 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 in the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set based on the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set.
[0076] Step 303: Perform signal processing and 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, signal processing is performed based on the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. First, based on the echo signals corresponding to each transmit antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets are obtained. Then, an antenna set is selected from the multiple different transmit antenna sets as a reference antenna set. Based on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmit antenna sets in the multiple different transmit antenna sets, excluding the reference antenna set, are compensated. The virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmit antenna sets are processed and detected to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. In this example, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained based on the echo signals of multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and then one transmitting antenna set is selected as the reference antenna for combination, and phase compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set to obtain the 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 the other transmitting antenna sets are subjected to signal processing and detection, so as 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 multiple different transmit antenna sets according to the echo signal corresponding to each transmit antenna set specifically includes:
[0079] For the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, two-dimensional Fourier transform, transmit channel separation, two-dimensional Fourier transform result rearrangement and constant false alarm rate detection are performed respectively to obtain the target range index and Doppler index corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0080] According to the target range 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, based on the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets, multiple virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the different transmit antenna sets are obtained. First, the echo signals corresponding to each transmit antenna set are subjected to a two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D Fourier transform), transmit channel separation, 2D Fourier transform result reordering, and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection. Signal processing results for the echo signals of each transmit antenna set are obtained, thereby obtaining the range index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmit set. The 2D Fourier transform (2DFT) is a mathematical tool for converting time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals. In signal processing, the 2D Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to convert received time-domain signals into range-Doppler domain signals. Through the 2D FFT, target range information (via a range-dimensional FFT) and velocity information (via a Doppler-dimensional FFT) can be extracted. In a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, multiple transmit antennas transmit signals simultaneously or in time-sharing. The receiver needs to separate these mixed signals to distinguish signals from different transmit channels. Separating the signals from different transmit channels allows subsequent processing to independently analyze target information from each transmit channel, thereby improving the radar system's resolution and target detection capabilities. In a MIMO radar system, the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform results of different transmit channels need to be rearranged to generate virtual array signals. This rearrangement allows the generation of virtual array signals, thereby improving the radar's angular resolution. The virtual array signals can be used for subsequent angle estimation and target localization. Constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection is a signal processing technique used to maintain a constant false alarm rate in noisy and interfering environments, effectively detecting target signals. CFAR dynamically adjusts the detection threshold, allowing the system to maintain a constant false alarm rate despite changes in noise and interference, improving target detection accuracy and reducing false alarms. Based on the target range index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmit antenna set, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets can be obtained. In this example, by processing the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets, the echo signals of the virtual channels of these different transmit antenna sets are obtained, improving the accuracy of the generated virtual channel echo signals and, in turn, the accuracy of target angle measurement.
[0082] In an optional embodiment, Figure 4 A flowchart of a target detection method for a detection device is exemplified. Based on any example, phase offset compensation is performed on virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmit antenna sets other than the reference antenna set in multiple different transmit antenna sets based on the echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set, specifically including:
[0083] Step 401: Obtain a target speed detected by the reference antenna set based on a target Doppler index obtained from an echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set.
[0084] Step 402: Expand the target velocity detected by the reference antenna set according to the working parameters of the detection device to obtain multiple expanded velocities;
[0085] Step 403: Obtain the phase deviation of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed based on the target speed detected by the reference antenna set and the time difference between the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set.
[0086] Step 404: Perform phase deviation compensation on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna set according to the phase deviation of the other transmitting antenna set at each extended speed.
[0087] Specifically, first, based on the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained; then, based on the working parameters of the detection device, the target speed 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, speed measurement range, and maximum unambiguous speed of the detection device. Further, based on 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; based on 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 embodiment, 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 based on 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 based on the target Doppler index obtained by processing the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the operating parameters of the detection device. For example, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained by the formula:
[0091]
[0092]
[0093]
[0094] in, Indicates the velocity resolution of the detection device, represents the sounding signal transmitted by the reference antenna set ( ), the number of probe signals transmitted by the reference antenna set ( ) is equal to the number of detection signals transmitted by other transmitting antenna sets; Indicates the detection signal transmitted by the transmitting antenna cycle; Indicates detection signal The wavelength of , C represents the speed of light, f represents the detection signal emitted by the detection device The wavelength is determined based on the frequency of the detection signal emitted by the detection device, for example, 0.0039m; represents the target Doppler index of the reference antenna set; represents the speed interval grid; Indicates the target speed detected by the reference antenna set. In this example, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained by using the operating parameters of the detection device and the target Doppler index of the reference antenna set, thereby improving 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 in a one-to-one manner.
[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 expanded speeds; wherein the multiple expanded speeds correspond to the multiple speed expansion multiples one to 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 speed measurement; Indicates the maximum 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:
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] in, Indicates the minimum value of the negative speed expansion multiplier starting from 0. Indicates the maximum value of the positive speed expansion multiplier starting from 0; Indicates rounding up; Indicates rounding down.
[0104] The expansion multiples at different speeds The expansion speed is:

[0108]
[0109]
[0110] 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.
[0111] In this example, the extended speed corresponding to different speed extension multiples is obtained by referring to the target speed detected by the antenna set and the optional speed extension multiple, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the extended speed.
[0112] In an optional manner, according to the phase deviation of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed, performing phase deviation compensation on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets, specifically including:
[0113] The phase deviations of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed are multiplied by the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets after compensation.
[0114] Specifically, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets are compensated, and the phase deviations of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed are multiplied by the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets. In combination with the above example, based on the target speed and speed expansion multiple detected by the reference antenna set obtained above, the virtual channel echo signals of the other reference antenna sets other than the reference antenna set are compensated to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals of the other transmitting antenna sets. The specific calculation formula is:
[0115]

In this example, by performing phase offset compensation on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmit antenna sets, the compensated virtual channel echo signals of multiple different transmit antenna sets are obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the virtual channel echo signals of each transmit antenna set.
[0119] In an optional embodiment, the target detection result includes the speed and angle of the target.
[0120] Specifically, the target detection results include the target's angle and speed. In practical applications, the detection results also include the target's distance and signal-to-noise ratio. For example, the target's angle includes the horizontal azimuth angle and the vertical pitch angle. In this example, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved by comprehensively detecting the target.
[0121] In an optional embodiment, Figure 5 A flowchart of a target detection method for a detection device is exemplified. Based on any example, signal processing and detection are performed 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, including:
[0122] Step 501: For each transmitting antenna set other than the reference antenna set, obtain a phase difference between the virtual channel echo signals of the reference antenna set and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds based on virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antennas that overlap after compensation between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set.
[0123] Step 502: 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.
[0124] Specifically, in combination with the above example, 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, 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 phase difference of the virtual channel between the other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set at different expansion speeds is obtained; 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 at the overlapping antennas of each other transmitting antenna set and the reference antenna set are the same. Therefore, there is no phase difference caused by the spatial array element spacing. The only phase difference between the other transmitting antenna sets and the reference antenna set is caused by the TDMA time-sharing transmission of the target speed. 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 phase differences of the virtual channels at the same position of each other transmitting antenna set 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 the other antenna sets that have the same position as the overlapping virtual antennas. The channel of the virtual receiving antenna is expanded by a factor of When , the virtual channel echo signal after Doppler compensation corresponding to the corresponding 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 Virtual channel echo signals of virtual channels; Indicates taking the minimum value, The speed expansion factor is the maximum value when the sum of the absolute phase differences of the virtual channel echo signals of the other antenna sets and the reference antenna set is the smallest; n represents the number of overlapping virtual channels in the reference antenna set and the other antenna sets. Corresponding expansion speed This is the actual speed of the target. In this example, the phase differences between the virtual channel echo signals from the same location as the reference antenna set and the other antenna sets are calculated at different expansion speeds. The expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase differences is used as the actual speed of the target. This eliminates errors and improves the accuracy of target speed detection.
[0127] In an optional embodiment, Figure 6 A flowchart of a target detection method for a detection device is exemplified. Based on any example, target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets are obtained 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, including:
[0128] Step 601: Obtain target angles corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets based on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets;
[0129] Step 602: The target angles detected by the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are used as target angle detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0130] Specifically, the actual angles of the target corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets can be calculated based on the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. Furthermore, the actual angle of the target is used as the target angle detected by each transmit antenna set to obtain the target angles corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. In this example, the target angle is calculated based on the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of target angle detection.
[0131] In an optional embodiment, Figure 7 The example shows a flowchart of a target detection method for a detection device. The target detection results corresponding to the transmitting antenna set include multiple target detection results. A final target detection result is obtained based on the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, including:
[0132] Step 701: Determine a threshold condition based on target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets and operating parameters of a detection device;
[0133] Step 702: 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 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 used as the final target detection result.
[0135] Specifically, in combination with the above 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 target's angle, speed, distance, and signal-to-noise ratio; the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set may include detection results for one or more targets; for example, for speed, the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set include multiple speed results; similarly, they also include multiple angle, signal ratio, and distance results. 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;
[0136] Based on the determined threshold conditions, false target detection results that do not meet the threshold conditions are removed from the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets. After removing these false target detection results, the target detection results corresponding to the transmit antenna set with the largest effective aperture among the multiple different transmit antenna sets are used as the final target detection results. In this example, by removing false target detection results from the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets and then using the target detection results corresponding to the transmit antenna set with the largest array aperture as the final target detection result, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved.
[0137] In an optional embodiment, according to a threshold condition, removing false sub-target detection results that do not meet the threshold condition from target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets includes:
[0138] Perform pairwise subtraction of target detection information in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set and target detection information in the target detection results corresponding to other transmit antenna sets;
[0139] Determining whether pairwise differences in target detection information satisfy a threshold condition for matching target detection results for the multiple different transmit antenna sets; the threshold condition for matching target detection results for the multiple different transmit antenna sets represents a limit range of differences between target detection results corresponding to each of the other transmit antenna sets and target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0140] If the pairwise difference results of the target detection information do not meet the threshold condition for matching between the target detection results of multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the target detection results corresponding to the target information that do not meet the threshold condition for matching between the target detection results of 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 detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets, thereby forming a plurality of distance difference results; similarly, the distance ... 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 the 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 represents 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 the 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 detection value of distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio 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 for a detection device according to an example of the present application; taking two different transmitting antenna sets as an example, 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 target detection results corresponding to the first transmitting antenna set and the second transmitting antenna set received, threshold conditions for target distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio are set ; 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 second transmitting antenna set 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 taking the difference between each target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set and any target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets; and eliminating false target detection results based on the threshold condition.

[0146] If the detection device includes a radar chip, a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets are obtained according to the transmitting antenna of the radar chip;
[0147] 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.
[0148] Specifically, the detection device in this example includes at least one radar chip. If the detection device includes only one radar chip, the transmit antenna of this radar chip is divided into multiple different transmit antenna sets, where one transmit antenna element is shared among the multiple transmit antenna sets. If the detection device includes multiple radar chips, the transmit antennas of the multiple radar chips are divided into multiple different transmit antenna sets, where each transmit antenna set is divided by the transmit antennas of multiple different radar chips.
[0149] In this example, the transmitting antennas of the radar chip are divided to obtain multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the utilization rate of the transmitting antennas of the radar chip and the degree of freedom of transmitting antenna division.

It should be noted that if the positions of the virtual antennas in any two virtual receive antenna sets are identical, the positions of the two corresponding virtual receive antenna sets are considered identical. Furthermore, both transmit antenna sets are sparse arrays, and the virtual effective aperture of the second transmit antenna set is larger than that of the first transmit antenna set, resulting in physical resolutions of approximately 2.44° and 2.25°, respectively.

[0161] Example 4
[0162] Figure 32 The schematic diagram of the structure of a target detection device of a detection device is shown as an example; Figure 31 As shown, the device includes:
[0163] The transmitting module 21 is configured to instruct multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device to transmit detection signals in a time-sharing manner; wherein at least one transmitting antenna overlaps among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas in each transmitting antenna set transmit detection signals simultaneously;
[0164] An acquisition module 22 is configured to acquire echo signals corresponding to a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets; the echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antenna sets are echo signals received by the receiving antennas of the detection device and corresponding to the detection signals emitted by the transmitting antenna sets;
[0165] The processing module 23 is configured to perform signal processing based on the echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets to obtain target detection results.
[0166] Specifically, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to transmit detection signals in a time-sharing manner; at least one transmitting antenna overlaps among the multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and the transmitting antennas within each transmitting antenna set transmit detection signals simultaneously. Exemplarily, the detection device may be a radar system comprising a radar chip; multiple transmitting antennas and receiving antennas are arranged within the radar system. In this example, multiple different transmitting antenna sets are selected from the multiple radar antennas, and each of the different transmitting antenna sets has an element at the same transmitting antenna position. Echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are then obtained; the echo signals corresponding to the transmitting antenna sets are echo signals received by the receiving antennas of the detection device and correspond to the detection signals emitted by the transmitting antenna sets. Furthermore, the echo signals corresponding to the multiple transmitting antenna sets are processed accordingly to obtain a final target detection result from the radar system. In this example, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to transmit detection signals in a time-sharing manner, with each transmitting antenna set transmitting detection signals simultaneously. Signal processing is then performed on the echo signals received by the receiving antennas corresponding to each transmitting antenna set to obtain a final target detection result. 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 a time-division manner; and Doppler division multiple access is used within each transmitting antenna set to send detection signals simultaneously.
[0168] Specifically, the detection device includes multiple transmit antenna sets; each transmit antenna set includes a portion of the transmit antennas and all of the receive antennas of the detection device. Within each transmit antenna set, Doppler division multiple access (DDMA) is used to simultaneously transmit detection signals. Exemplarily, DDMA implements orthogonal waveform design in the Doppler domain. It inherits the characteristics of time-division multiple access (TD-DMA) in the transmitter structure, but adds a series of phase shifters. These phase shifters adjust the signal phase to introduce a specific Doppler shift into the transmitted signal. Signals from each user or transmit channel can be phase-adjusted to produce different Doppler shifts, thereby achieving orthogonal separation of the signals in the frequency domain. Furthermore, because DDMA technology allows simultaneous transmission of transmitting elements, it fully utilizes the transmit power of each transmit channel, improving detection range and other parameter estimation performance, making it a popular method for orthogonal waveform design in automotive millimeter-wave radars. TD-DMA is used to time-share the transmission of detection signals between multiple transmit antenna sets. Exemplarily, TDMA involves time-sharing the transmission of detection signals between multiple transmit antennas. 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 embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0170] Perform signal processing based on 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 based on the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0172] Specifically, signal processing can be performed based on the echo signals received by multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple transmit antenna sets. Based on the target detection results corresponding to the multiple transmit antenna sets, a final target detection result 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, thereby improving the accuracy of the target detection result.
[0173] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured 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] Selecting a reference antenna set from a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets, and performing phase offset compensation on virtual channel echo signals corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets in the plurality of different transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set according to the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0176] Signal processing and detection are performed 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.
[0177] Specifically, signal processing is performed based on the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. First, based on the echo signals corresponding to each transmit antenna set, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets are obtained. Then, an antenna set is selected from the multiple different transmit antenna sets as a reference antenna set. Based on the virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmit antenna sets in the multiple different transmit antenna sets, excluding the reference antenna set, are compensated. The virtual channel echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmit antenna sets are processed and detected to obtain target detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. In this example, virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained based on the echo signals of multiple different transmitting antenna sets, and then one transmitting antenna set is selected as the reference antenna for combination, and phase compensation is performed on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmitting antenna sets except the reference antenna set to obtain the 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 the other transmitting antenna sets 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.
[0178] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0179] For the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets, two-dimensional Fourier transform, transmit channel separation, two-dimensional Fourier transform result rearrangement and constant false alarm rate detection are performed respectively to obtain the target range index and Doppler index corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0180] According to the target range 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 transmit antenna sets are obtained based on the echo signals corresponding to the multiple transmit antenna sets. First, the echo signals corresponding to each transmit antenna set are subjected to a two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D Fourier transform), transmit channel separation, 2D Fourier transform result reordering, and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection. This process yields the signal processing results for the echo signals from each transmit antenna set, thereby obtaining the range index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmit set. The 2D Fourier transform (2DFT) is a mathematical tool for converting time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals. In signal processing, the 2D Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to convert received time-domain signals into range-Doppler domain signals. Through the 2D FFT, target range information (via a range-dimensional FFT) and velocity information (via a Doppler-dimensional FFT) can be extracted. In a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, multiple transmit antennas transmit signals simultaneously or in time-sharing. The receiver needs to separate these mixed signals to distinguish signals from different transmit channels. This separation of signals from different transmit channels allows subsequent processing to independently analyze target information from each transmit channel, thereby improving the radar system's resolution and target detection capabilities. In a MIMO radar system, the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform results of different transmit channels need to be rearranged to generate virtual array signals. This rearrangement allows the generation of virtual array signals, thereby improving the radar's angular resolution. The virtual array signals can be used for subsequent angle estimation and target localization. Constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection is a signal processing technique used to maintain a constant false alarm rate in noisy and interfering environments, effectively detecting target signals. CFAR dynamically adjusts the detection threshold, allowing the system to maintain a constant false alarm rate despite changes in noise and interference, improving target detection accuracy and reducing false alarms. Based on the target range index and Doppler index corresponding to each transmit antenna set, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets can be obtained. In this example, by processing the echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets, the echo signals of the virtual channels of these different transmit antenna sets are obtained, improving the accuracy of the generated virtual channel echo signals and, in turn, the accuracy of target angle measurement.
[0182] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0183] The speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained according to the target Doppler index obtained by the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0184] Expanding the target velocity detected by the reference antenna set according to the working parameters of the detection device to obtain multiple expanded velocities;
[0185] 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;
[0186] 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.
[0187] Specifically, first, based on the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained; then, based on 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, speed measurement range, and maximum unambiguous speed of the detection device. Furthermore, based on the speed of the target 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; based on 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.
[0188] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0189] The speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained based on the target Doppler index obtained by processing the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the working parameters of the detection device.
[0190] Specifically, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained based on the target Doppler index obtained by processing the echo signal corresponding to the reference antenna set and the operating parameters of the detection device. For example, the speed of the target detected by the reference antenna set is obtained by the formula:
[0191]
[0192]
[0193]
[0194] in, Indicates the velocity resolution of the detection device, Indicates the number of transmitted sounding signals of the reference antenna set. The number of transmitted sounding signal chirps of the reference antenna set is equal to the number of sounding signals transmitted by other transmitting antenna sets. Indicates the period of the chirp detection signal transmitted by the transmitting antenna; represents the wavelength of the detection signal chirp; where, , C represents the speed of light, f represents the detection signal emitted by the detection device The wavelength is determined based on the frequency of the detection signal emitted by the detection device, for example, 0.0039m; represents the target Doppler index of the reference antenna set; represents the speed interval grid; Indicates the target speed detected by the reference antenna set. In this example, the target speed detected by the reference antenna set is obtained by using the operating parameters of the detection device and the target Doppler index of the reference antenna set, thereby improving the accuracy of the target speed detected by the reference antenna set.
[0195] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[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 in a one-to-one manner.
[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 to 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:
[0199]
[0200] in, Indicates rounding up. Indicates the minimum speed measurement; Indicates the maximum 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:

[0203] in, Indicates the minimum value of the negative speed expansion multiplier starting from 0. Indicates the maximum value of the positive speed expansion multiplier starting from 0; Indicates rounding up; Indicates rounding down.
[0204] The expansion multiples at different speeds The expansion speed is:

[0208]
[0209]
[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 speed corresponding to different speed extension multiples is obtained by referring to the target speed detected by the antenna set and the optional speed extension multiple, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the extended speed.
[0212] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0213] The phase deviations of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed are multiplied by the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets after compensation.
[0214] Specifically, the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets are compensated, and the phase deviations of the other transmitting antenna sets at each extended speed are multiplied by the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets before compensation to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets. In combination with the above example, based on the target speed and speed expansion multiple detected by the reference antenna set obtained above, the virtual channel echo signals of the other reference antenna sets other than the reference antenna set are compensated to obtain the compensated virtual channel echo signals of the other transmitting antenna sets. The specific calculation formula is:
[0215]
[0216]
[0217]
[0218] in, Indicates the phase deviation of other transmitting antenna sets relative to the reference antenna set, represents the target speed detected by the reference antenna set; Indicates the speed expansion multiple, Indicates the wavelength of the probe signal (chirp) emitted by the transmitting antenna set; Indicates the period of the chirp signal; Indicates the delay time of the detection signal transmitted by each other transmitting antenna set relative to the detection signal transmitted by the reference antenna set; It represents the complete Doppler phase deviation corresponding to different velocity expansion multiples; representing the compensated virtual channel echo signals of each other transmitting antenna set; represents the virtual channel echo signals of each other transmit antenna set before compensation. In this example, by performing phase offset compensation on the virtual channel echo signals of other transmit antenna sets, the compensated virtual channel echo signals of multiple different transmit antenna sets are obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the virtual channel echo signals of each transmit antenna set.
[0219] In an optional implementation, the target detection result includes target speed and angle.
[0220] Specifically, the target detection results include the target's angle and speed. In practical applications, the detection results also include the target's distance and signal-to-noise ratio. For example, the target's angle includes the horizontal azimuth angle and the vertical pitch angle. In this example, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved by comprehensively detecting the target.
[0221] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0222] For each transmit antenna set other than the reference antenna set, obtaining, based on virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the compensated overlapping transmit antennas between the other transmit antenna set and the reference antenna set, phase differences between the virtual channel echo signals 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 based on 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 transmitting antenna set other than the reference antenna set, based on the virtual channel echo signals corresponding to the overlapping transmitting antennas after compensation between the other transmitting antenna set and 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; 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 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 at the overlapping antennas of each other transmit antenna set and the reference antenna set are the same. Therefore, there is no phase difference caused by the spatial array element spacing. Only the phase difference exists due to the TDMA time-sharing transmission of the target speed by the two subarrays of the other transmit antenna sets and the reference antenna set. When the correct actual target speed is used for complete Doppler phase offset compensation, the sum of the absolute values of the phase differences of the virtual channels of the other transmit 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 each other transmit antenna set and the reference transmit antenna set under different speed expansion factors. The calculation formula is:
[0225]
[0226] in, Indicates the first virtual antenna in the reference antenna set and the other antenna sets that have the same position as the overlapping virtual antennas. The channel of the virtual receiving antenna is expanded by a factor of When , the virtual channel echo signal after Doppler compensation corresponding to the corresponding 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 Virtual channel echo signals of virtual channels; Indicates taking the minimum value, The speed expansion factor is the maximum value when the sum of the absolute phase differences of the virtual channel echo signals of the other antenna sets and the reference antenna set is the smallest; n represents the number of overlapping virtual channels in the reference antenna set and the other antenna sets. Corresponding expansion speed This is the actual speed of the target. In this example, the phase differences between the virtual channel echo signals from the same location as the reference antenna set and the other antenna sets are calculated at different expansion speeds. The expansion speed corresponding to the minimum sum of the absolute values of the phase differences is used as the actual speed of the target. This eliminates errors and improves the accuracy of target speed detection.
[0227] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0228] Obtain target angles corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets 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;
[0229] The target angles detected by the multiple different transmitting antenna sets are used as target angle detection results corresponding to the multiple different transmitting antenna sets.
[0230] Specifically, the actual angles of the target corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets can be calculated based on the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. Furthermore, the actual angle of the target is used as the target angle detected by each transmit antenna set to obtain the target angles corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets. In this example, the target angle is calculated based on the echo signals of the virtual channels corresponding to the multiple different transmit antenna sets, thereby improving the accuracy of target angle detection.
[0231] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0232] Determining a threshold condition based on target detection results corresponding to a plurality of different transmit antenna sets and operating 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 multiple different transmitting antenna sets;
[0234] After removing 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 above 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 target's angle, speed, distance, and signal-to-noise ratio; the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set may include detection results for one or more targets. For example, for speed, the target detection results corresponding to each transmitting antenna set include multiple speed results; similarly, they also include multiple angle, signal ratio, and distance results. 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] Based on the determined threshold conditions, false target detection results that do not meet the threshold conditions are removed from the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets. After removing these false target detection results, the target detection results corresponding to the transmit antenna set with the largest effective aperture among the multiple different transmit antenna sets are used as the final target detection results. In this example, by removing false target detection results from the target detection results corresponding to multiple different transmit antenna sets and then using the target detection results corresponding to the transmit antenna set with the largest array aperture as the final target detection result, the accuracy of the target detection results is improved.
[0237] In an optional embodiment, the processing module 23 is configured to:
[0238] Perform pairwise subtraction of target detection information in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set and target detection information in the target detection results corresponding to other transmit antenna sets;
[0239] Determining whether pairwise differences in target detection information satisfy a threshold condition for matching target detection results for the multiple different transmit antenna sets; the threshold condition for matching target detection results for the multiple different transmit antenna sets represents a limit range of differences between target detection results corresponding to each of the other transmit antenna sets and target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set;
[0240] If the pairwise difference results of the target detection information do not meet the threshold condition for matching between the target detection results of multiple different transmitting antenna sets, the target detection results corresponding to the target information that do not meet the threshold condition for matching between the target detection results of 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 detection value of each target in the target detection result corresponding to the other transmitting antenna sets, thereby forming a plurality of distance difference results; similarly, the distance ... 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 the 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 represents 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 the 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 detection value of distance, speed, angle and signal-to-noise ratio of the target detection result corresponding to any other transmitting antenna set; Representing the distance threshold condition, speed threshold condition, angle threshold condition, and signal-to-noise ratio threshold condition, respectively. If the difference results of distance, speed, angle, and signal-to-noise ratio all meet the threshold conditions, the target detection result corresponding to the reference antenna set and the target detection results that meet the threshold conditions in any other reference antenna set are saved. At the same time, the target detection results in any other reference antenna set that meet at least one threshold condition and at most three threshold conditions are eliminated as false target detection results. If any of the difference results of distance, speed, angle, and signal-to-noise ratio do not meet the threshold conditions, 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 taking the difference between each target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to the reference antenna set and any target detection result in the target detection results corresponding to other transmitting antenna sets; and eliminating false target detection results based on the threshold condition.
[0245] In an optional embodiment, the detection device includes at least one radar chip;
[0246] If the detection device includes a radar chip, a plurality of different transmitting antenna sets are obtained according to the transmitting antenna of the radar chip;
[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 in this example includes at least one radar chip. If the detection device includes only one radar chip, the transmit antenna of this radar chip is divided into multiple different transmit antenna sets, where one transmit antenna element is shared among the multiple transmit antenna sets. If the detection device includes multiple radar chips, the transmit antennas of the multiple radar chips are divided into multiple different transmit antenna sets, where each transmit antenna set is divided by the transmit antennas of multiple different radar chips.
[0249] In this example, the transmitting antennas of the radar chip are divided to obtain multiple different transmitting antenna sets, thereby improving the utilization rate of the transmitting antennas of the radar chip and the degree of freedom of transmitting antenna division.
[0250] In the target detection device of the detection device provided in this embodiment, multiple different transmitting antenna sets of the detection device are instructed to send detection signals in time-sharing, 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, echo signals corresponding to multiple different transmitting antenna sets are obtained; wherein the echo signal corresponding to the transmitting antenna set is received by the receiving antenna of the detection device, and corresponds to the echo signal of the detection signal sent by the transmitting antenna set; according to the echo signals corresponding to the multiple 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 detection signals within multiple antenna sets and sending detection signals in time-sharing between multiple antenna sets, and performs phase deviation compensation according to the echo signals corresponding to the overlapping transmitting antennas in multiple transmitting antenna sets, and eliminates false targets through threshold conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of the target detection results of the detection device.
