Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing, and particularly relates to a robust clutter suppression method for airborne passive bistatic radar based on multi - stage least squares. Background Art

[0002] A passive bistatic radar is a radar monitoring system that does not need to radiate electromagnetic wave signals by itself, but relies on existing opportunity illumination sources in the electromagnetic space, such as frequency - modulated radio, analog television, digital audio broadcasting, terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting, Wi - Fi or global navigation satellite system, etc. as signal sources to achieve target detection, recognition, tracking and imaging in a specific area. Compared with conventional active radars, passive bistatic radars mainly have the following advantages: 1) Since there is no need for a dedicated transmitter, the complexity and construction cost of the radar system are significantly reduced, and at the same time, it has excellent anti - electronic interference, anti - reconnaissance and battlefield survival capabilities; 2) The passive bistatic radar system always realizes target situation awareness in an electromagnetic silent state, does not introduce pollution to the electromagnetic environment, and is applicable to densely populated urban environments; 3) Benefiting from the geometric configuration and operating frequency band of the passive bistatic radar system, this type of radar is outstanding in anti - stealth capabilities; 4) Civilian opportunity illumination sources generally adopt a beam - down - looking design, thus enhancing the detection ability of the passive bistatic radar for low - altitude targets; 5) Based on the diversity of existing opportunity illumination sources, the passive bistatic radar system has broad potential in networked detection. In view of the above advantages, passive bistatic radars have made remarkable progress in recent decades, and their theoretical research has been relatively complete.

[0003] With the in - depth research of relevant institutions, researchers have gradually shifted their focus from traditional ground - based stationary receivers to the "far - reaching" moving carrier platform, that is, airborne passive bistatic radar, aiming to solve the problem of limited detection ability of traditional passive bistatic radars due to factors such as the earth's curvature and terrain occlusion. The airborne passive bistatic radar also uses existing opportunity illumination sources in the electromagnetic space to achieve target situation awareness, taking into account the advantages of both traditional passive bistatic radars and airborne radars, as follows: 1) It does not require a specific transmitter, and the system has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low power consumption and strong portability, and is suitable for equipment on platforms with limited space, load and power consumption, such as airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc.; 2) The system always operates in an electromagnetic silent state, and when installed on an early warning aircraft or a stealth fighter, it can effectively improve the battlefield survival ability; 3) The receiver of the system is the carrier platform, which can effectively fill the detection blind area of traditional ground - based radars. At the same time, the system has the ability of rapid and flexible deployment and can be quickly put into use in the area to be monitored, providing reliable guarantee for battlefield operations.

[0004] Considering the above advantages, the airborne passive bistatic radar target detection technology is becoming an important research direction for the progress of the military information field. Among them, clutter suppression is a key problem faced by the airborne passive bistatic radar. Although significant progress has been made in the theoretical research of clutter suppression for airborne radar and passive bistatic radar respectively, these experiences cannot be directly applied to the airborne passive bistatic radar, mainly for the following reasons: 1) The non-cooperative opportunity illumination source usually adopts the beam-down continuous wave system signal, which will lead to the clutter power in the surveillance channel being significantly higher than the target echo. The random range side lobes generated by the strong clutter pulse compression will submerge the main lobe of the weak target, seriously deteriorating the target detection performance; 2) The movement of the aircraft platform will cause the clutter Doppler frequency to expand to a certain Doppler bandwidth, deteriorating the performance of the clutter suppression method applicable to the traditional ground-based passive bistatic radar; 3) The existence of fractional-order clutter and channel amplitude-phase errors will further deteriorate the target detection performance.

[0005] The existing technology combines the characteristics of the opportunity illumination source and proposes a clutter suppression algorithm to improve the target detection performance, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0006] 1) Transformation processing domain: The echo signal received by the surveillance channel and the reference signal received by the reference channel are converted to the frequency domain through Fourier transform, which lays the foundation for the subsequent sub-band processing.

[0007] 2) Sub-band operation: Based on the information obtained in step 1, the echo signal is directly sub-band processed by using the selection matrix. Since the reference signal needs to be used to construct the clutter subspace subsequently, the cases where the clutter Doppler frequency is positive and negative need to be considered separately, and the reference signal is sub-band divided in different ways.

[0008] 3) Doppler frequency shift clutter subspace construction: Based on the information obtained in step 2, combined with the clutter Doppler distribution range in the actual scenario, the sub-band reference signal is used to construct a clutter subspace with Doppler frequency shift in each sub-band, where the cancellation order of the clutter subspace distance dimension is only one order.

[0009] 4) Extract signal amplitude information: Using the information obtained in steps 2 and 3, a least squares cost function is constructed in each sub-band, and solving this function can obtain the amplitude information of the signal with Doppler frequency. The amplitude information also contains spatial domain information. Combining spatial domain and time domain information is the key to distinguishing targets and clutter.

[0010] 5) Spatial frequency clutter subspace construction: Utilizing the clutter Doppler-angle dependence, according to the clutter Doppler frequency set, the corresponding spatial frequency set can be obtained and a spatial frequency clutter subspace composed of spatial steering vectors is constructed.

[0011] 6) Extract clutter amplitude information: Utilize the information obtained in steps 4 and 5 to further construct a least squares cost function, and solve this function to obtain the clutter amplitude information. Complete the clutter suppression operation for each sub-band according to the following formula:

[0012]

[0013] In the above formula, is the echo signal of the i-th sub-band obtained in step 2, is the Doppler frequency shift clutter subspace constructed in step 3, is the clutter cancellation weight vector obtained in step 6.

[0014] 7) Sub-band synthesis: Integrate the clutter cancellation results of each sub-band, and subsequently, the target detection task can be directly implemented using frequency domain range-Doppler.

[0015] The existing technology implementation scheme constructs a clutter subspace with Doppler frequency through frequency domain shifting. This subspace cannot contain clutter with fractional order in the Doppler dimension. Therefore, the performance of this scheme will deteriorate sharply in the clutter scenario with fractional order in the Doppler dimension. In addition, the actual system will inevitably be affected by channel amplitude-phase errors, and the existence of amplitude-phase errors will further deteriorate the clutter suppression performance of the existing technology scheme. Summary of the Invention

[0016] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a robust airborne passive radar clutter suppression method based on multi-level least squares.

[0027] The following will further elaborate on the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Brief description of the drawings

[0033] The following further elaborates on the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the implementation manners of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0034] The idea of implementing the present invention is to achieve the purpose of clutter suppression through multi-level least squares operations according to the Doppler-angle dependence of clutter. For ease of understanding, the following will all be based on Figure 1 the shown application scenario of the airborne external radiation source radar.

[0035] The geometric configuration of an airborne external radiation source radar is as follows Figure 1 shown in the figure, where the height is H r The carrier platform flies along the direction parallel to the xoy plane. Consistent with the traditional ground-based external radiation source radar, the airborne external radiation source radar is also composed of a reference channel and a surveillance channel. The surveillance channel consists of M array elements with a spacing of half a wavelength, and the reference channel consists of an additional antenna or beam pointing to an opportunistic illumination source. As is known from Figure 1 , when the receiver receives the target signal, it will inevitably receive multipath signals and direct wave signals (subsequently, multipath signals and direct wave signals are collectively referred to as clutter). The presence of clutter will affect the subsequent target detection performance. Therefore, a robust clutter suppression algorithm needs to be proposed to ensure the target detection performance.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a robust clutter suppression method for an airborne external radiation source radar based on multi-stage least squares, including

[0037] S100, receiving the echo signal through the receiving channel and constructing a clutter basis matrix with Doppler frequency shift in the time domain using the reference signal;

[0038] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, S100 includes

[0039] S110, receiving the echo signal through multiple receiving channels;

[0040] S120, vectorizing the predetermined reference signal and constructing a clutter basis matrix with Doppler frequency shift in the time domain using the vectorized reference signal.

[0041] To ensure the subsequent clutter suppression ability in the Doppler dimension, a clutter basis matrix with Doppler frequency shift is constructed in the time domain using the reference signal, expressed as: X RMLS =[Λ 1 s Ref Λ 2 s Ref …Λ L s Ref ;

[0042] In the formula, s Ref is the vectorized reference signal, and Λ l is the Doppler modulation matrix, expressed as

[0043]

[0044] In the formula, is the Doppler frequency of the l-th clutter, f s is the sampling frequency, and N is the number of sampling points of the signal.

[0045] The present invention constructs a clutter basis matrix by adding a phase in the time domain, which can effectively suppress the Doppler-dimensional fractional clutter and has stronger applicability.

[0046] S200: Convert the echo signal and the clutter basis matrix to the frequency domain to obtain the converted echo signal and the converted clutter basis matrix.

[0047] For the purpose of coarsening the range resolution using sub-band operations to complete the suppression of long-range clutter, first convert the echo signals received by all channels to the frequency domain, and then convert the Doppler frequency shift clutter basis matrix to the frequency domain, so as to change the processing domain and lay a foundation for subsequent sub-band operations.

[0048] The converted echo signal is expressed as:

[0049]

[0050] In the formula, represents the Fourier transform operation, F is the Fourier transform matrix, and S Echo is the echo signal received by M channels;

[0051] The converted clutter basis matrix is expressed as:

[0052]

[0053] S300: Perform sub-band processing on both the converted echo signal and the converted clutter basis matrix to obtain the echo signal and the clutter basis matrix of each sub-band.

[0054] For the purpose of realizing the cancellation of long-range clutter using only the first-order range-dimensional clutter basis matrix in the subsequent clutter cancellation process, further sub-band process the frequency domain results converted by S200. The echo signal and the clutter basis matrix of the i-th sub-band are respectively expressed as:

[0055]

[0056] In the formula, b is the number of sub-bands, and J (i) is the selection matrix used to select the i-th sub-band, expressed as:

[0057]

[0058] In the formula, N B = N / b is the number of points in each sub-band.

[0059] The present invention deteriorates the range resolution using sub-band operations, and the cancellation order of the range dimension in the clutter basis matrix is only set to the first order, which has a low computational complexity and can effectively cope with the scenario where range-Doppler dimensional fractional clutter exists.

[0060] For the S400, for each sub - band, using the echo signal and clutter basis matrix of this sub - band, and by constructing the first least - squares cost function, the amplitude information of the sub - band signal is solved.

[0061] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, S400 includes:

[0062] S410, for each sub - band, using the echo signal and clutter basis matrix of this sub - band to construct the first least - squares cost function of this sub - band, expressed as:

[0064] In the formula, is the first least - squares weight vector of the i - th sub - band;

[0065] S420, solve the least - squares cost function, and the solved amplitude information of the sub - band signal is expressed as:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, contains the spatial domain information of the signal, the superscript T represents the transpose of the matrix, and the superscript * represents the adjoint matrix of the matrix.

[0068] S500, using the clutter Doppler cancellation set to construct the spatial - frequency clutter basis matrix of the airborne external radiation source radar;

[0069] This step combines the clutter Doppler - angle dependence, and according to the clutter Doppler cancellation set, the spatial - frequency clutter basis matrix of the airborne external radiation source radar can be obtained, expressed as:

[0070]

[0071] In the formula, represents the spatial frequency of the l - th clutter.

[0072] S600, using the set configuration of the airborne external radiation source radar to solve the amplitude - phase error correction factor of the radar system;

[0073] To improve the robustness of the method and make it adapt to complex scenarios with amplitude - phase errors, an amplitude - phase error correction factor is introduced, expressed as:

[0074]

[0075] In the formula, is the reference signal of the uncompensated Doppler frequency, and Γ is a parameter obtained according to the geometric configuration of the airborne external radiation source radar.

[0076] The present invention calculates the amplitude-phase error correction factor in combination with the geometric configuration of the radar system to improve the robustness of the algorithm.

[0077] S700, using the amplitude information, the spatial frequency clutter basis matrix, and the amplitude-phase error correction factor, and by constructing the second least-squares cost function for each subband and each Doppler frequency, solve the clutter cancellation result for each subband;

[0078] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, S700 includes:

[0079] S710, using the amplitude information, the spatial frequency clutter basis matrix, and the amplitude-phase error correction factor, and by constructing the second least-squares cost function for each subband and each Doppler frequency, expressed as:

[0080]

[0081] Wherein,

[0082] In the formula, is the second least-squares operation weight coefficient for the i-th subband and the l-th Doppler frequency, and the vector c l is a selection vector that selects the l-th column of the matrix on its left, expressed as:

[0087]

[0088] S800, integrate the clutter cancellation results of all subbands to obtain the frequency-domain clutter cancellation result, expressed as:

[0089]

[0090] The effects of the present invention can be further illustrated by the following experiments:

[0091] 1. Simulation conditions:

[0092] Under far-field narrowband conditions, the parameters of the airborne external radiation source radar system are shown in Table 1, and the parameters of 7 targets with a signal-to-clutter ratio of -20 dB are shown in Table 2. The clutter is distributed in the first 50 range cells, and each range cell contains 181 clutter blocks. The clutter considered in this experiment includes not only integer-order clutter in the range dimension but also the influence of fractional-order clutter in the range dimension.

[0097] 2. Experimental Contents and Results:

[0098] Under the simulation parameters of Table 1 and Table 2 above, the clutter attenuation results of the present invention technology and the existing technology are as Figure 3 shown. Figure 3 Figures (a) and (b) therein are the clutter attenuation results of a single channel and the clutter attenuation results of all channels respectively. Figure 3 Figure (a) therein shows the comparison results of the output power of the first channel after adopting different technologies, where the maximum value of the echo channel before clutter suppression is normalized. Since the existing technology constructs a clutter basis matrix with Doppler frequency through frequency domain shifting, the presence of fractional-order clutter in the Doppler dimension will seriously reduce the clutter suppression performance. The present invention technology performs well in the presence of fractional-order clutter in the Doppler dimension and fractional-order clutter in the range dimension. The clutter attenuation results of each channel are as Figure 3 shown in Figure (b) therein, and the clutter attenuation of the present invention technology is close to the ideal clutter cancellation performance. Figure 4 Show the range-Doppler results of the first channel after adopting different technologies. Figure 4 Figures (a) and (b) therein are the range-Doppler output results of the existing technology and the range-Doppler output results of the present invention technology respectively.

[0099] From this result, it can be seen that the presence of fractional-order clutter in the Doppler dimension will seriously deteriorate the clutter suppression performance of the existing technology in Part 2. On the contrary, the present invention technology has good clutter suppression performance, which is in line with the Figure 3 conclusion shown. Figure 5 Figures (a) and (b) therein are the signal-to-noise ratio loss results when there is no channel amplitude-phase error and the signal-to-noise ratio loss results when there is channel amplitude-phase error respectively. Figure 5 Figure (a) therein further shows the signal-to-noise ratio loss curves of different technologies, and once again elaborates on the effectiveness of the present invention technology. Considering the presence of amplitude error with a standard deviation of 0.2 and phase error with a standard deviation of 10°, the signal-to-noise ratio loss curves of different clutter suppression algorithms are asFigure 5 As shown in Figure (b). It can be seen from this figure that the technology of the present invention has better robustness compared with the prior art.

[0100] 3. Experimental conclusions:

[0101] It can be seen from the above simulation experiment results that the technical solution of the present invention has better clutter suppression performance and is applicable to more complex clutter scenarios. In addition, compared with the existing solutions, the technical solution of the present invention has better robustness while ensuring excellent clutter suppression ability.
