Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar signal processing, and more particularly, to a radar signal processing device and method. Background Art
[0002] Radar signal processing technology plays a vital role in modern radar systems. Its main task is to extract target signals from complex background noise and interference and accurately estimate target parameters, including key information such as range, velocity, and direction. In practical applications, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of radar signals is often affected by many factors, such as target reflection characteristics, propagation path loss, environmental noise, and human interference.
[0003] A low signal-to-noise ratio radar signal processing method and device, with publication number CN115166648B, performs autocorrelation processing on the acquired radar signal data to obtain a time-domain autocorrelation signal envelope; then, an adaptive threshold is calculated, and the time-domain autocorrelation signal envelope is detected using the adaptive threshold to obtain first pulse signal time-domain data; then, a rough parameter estimation is performed on the first pulse signal time-domain data containing the pulse signal, and pulse compression processing is performed on the pulse signal time-domain data to calculate the radar signal pulse repetition period. The first pulse signal time-domain data is used to obtain a second signal detection threshold; the second signal detection threshold is used to detect and estimate the parameters of the coherently accumulated and superimposed radar signal data to obtain an accurate estimation result of the radar signal parameters. The present invention achieves a high-precision estimation effect on low signal-to-noise ratio radar signal parameters. This technical solution exhibits high parameter estimation accuracy in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment and has significant application value.
[0004] However, it still has some shortcomings in actual use. For example, in actual applications, when multiple targets appear at the same time and the signal strengths vary greatly, the existing radar signal processing methods are often unable to accurately separate and identify weak target signals, making it difficult to effectively meet the needs of separating and tracking multiple target signals, and the applicability is relatively weak.
[0005] Existing radar signal processing methods lack an effective multi-target signal separation mechanism in the data analysis stage. In multi-target scenarios, it is difficult to cope with the mutual interference between multi-target signals, which leads to an increase in the false alarm rate and affects the accuracy of target detection. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a radar signal processing device and a processing method, which are used to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a radar signal processing method, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step S01: radar signal reception: used to receive radar raw signal data through a radar receiving antenna, pre-process the radar raw signal data through preliminary amplification and adaptive sampling, and output high-quality radar signal data.

If the radar raw signal data meets any weak signal judgment criteria, the radar raw signal is judged to be a weak signal, the gain of the low-noise amplifier is increased, and the weak received signal is initially amplified by the low-noise amplifier, making the radar raw signal easier to identify and process. The radar raw signal data is then transmitted to the adaptive sampling.

[0026] Preferably, the step S04: radar signal target motion trajectory processing is specifically as follows:
[0027] S61: Obtain a feature extraction set as an initial vector, and initialize the motion trajectory of the radar signal according to the initially received feature set information. If the target has been tracked before, use the trajectory information at the previous moment as the current starting point;
[0028] S62: Using the Kalman filter algorithm to extract aggregate data from the distance, velocity, and azimuth characteristics of the target effective signal, the target effective signal's trajectory is tracked, the position at the next moment is predicted, and the position is compared and corrected with the actual received signal;
[0029] S63: Output the motion feature prediction value of the target effective signal, and send the motion feature prediction value to the visualization interface for display.
[0030] Preferably, the signal correlation evaluation index is calculated as:
[0031] Calculate the mean of the time domain sampling values of any two valid signals; calculate the degree of synchronous change of the valid signals through covariance; calculate the product of the standard deviations of any two valid signals; calculate the signal correlation evaluation index .

[0033] S81: The hierarchical verification mechanism is:
[0034] Time domain interference determination:
[0035] Get the signal correlation evaluation index between valid signals. If the signal correlation evaluation index , it indicates strong correlated interference, and priority should be given to interference suppression measures. If , it indicates medium-correlated interference, and interference suppression measures should be taken. If , it indicates weakly correlated interference, and enters the frequency domain interference verification;
[0036] S82: Frequency Domain Interference Analysis:
[0037] Extract the useful signal power and interference signal power between the effective signals in the weakly correlated interference, and calculate the adjacent channel interference ratio between the effective signals in the weakly correlated interference;
[0038] Obtain the adjacent channel interference ratio between valid signals in weakly correlated interference and compare it with the preset adjacent channel interference ratio. If the adjacent channel interference ratio between a certain valid signal is smaller than the preset adjacent channel interference ratio, it indicates that the relative strength of the interference signal of the valid signal is large, and the radar signal is interfered by adjacent frequency signals. Relevant personnel should be notified immediately to initiate countermeasures. Otherwise, it indicates that there is no adjacent frequency signal interference problem for the valid signal and the radar signal is normal.
