Description

[0002] Compact-field microwave anechoic chambers are the primary environment for conducting indoor radar cross section (RCS) measurements. Typically, the targets being measured are passive targets. However, with continuous technological advancements, the demand for RCS testing is increasingly arising from active targets. Traditional indoor RCS testing methods mainly employ time-division relative calibration, ensuring that parameters such as the test system's frequency, polarization, and transmit power remain constant. A calibration target with a known RCS and the target are placed within the test area, and the accurate RCS of the target is calculated by the power ratio of the two. However, due to the significant time delay often present by active transponder targets, the distance of the target echo differs from the distance of the calibration target, rendering traditional range-gating techniques unusable and causing the traditional calibration method to fail.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] The following is the concept of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for measuring the equivalent RCS of an indoor active forwarding target, including:

[0049] Step 100: Determine the test delay of the test transmit pulse and the test receive pulse based on the first delay of the active relay target and the second delay of the calibration body;

[0050] Step 102: Based on the pulse parameters of the calibration body, determine the target pulse parameters of the active forwarding target;

[0051] Step 104: In the test area of ​​the compact field, the active transponder target is tested using the target pulse parameters and test delay to obtain the target echo power; the calibration body is tested using the pulse parameters and the second delay to obtain the calibration body echo power.

[0052] Step 106: Determine the target RCS value of the active repeater target based on the target echo power, the calibration body echo power, and the calibration body RCS value.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the time delay of the active repeater target is first determined, and the test time delay is obtained based on the time delay of the calibration body and the time delay of the calibration body. This determines the duration between the transmitted pulse and the received pulse when testing the active repeater target. Then, by fixing the pulse duty cycle of the calibration body and the active repeater target during the test, the target pulse parameters of the active repeater target are obtained, realizing the equivalent power output and reception. Therefore, it is possible to achieve accurate measurement of the equivalent RCS of the active repeater target without changing the traditional anechoic chamber layout and test system, solving the problems of difficult clutter control and reduced power level caused by high delay.

[0054] It should be noted that the active forwarding targets referred to in this invention first passively receive external signals and then transmit the signals, which is different from active targets that actively transmit signals.

[0055] The following description Figure 1 The execution method of each step is shown.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the test latency is the sum of the first latency and the second latency.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, step 102, determining the target pulse parameters of the active forwarding target based on the pulse parameters of the calibration body, includes:

[0058] Obtain the calibration transmit pulse width, calibration receive pulse width, and calibration pulse period of the calibration body;

[0059] Obtain the start time of the transmitted pulse and the end time of the received pulse of the active repeater target to determine the test pulse period of the active repeater target;

[0060] The test transmission pulse width is calculated based on the calibration transmission pulse width, calibration pulse period, and test pulse period;

[0061] The test receive pulse width is calculated based on the calibration receive pulse width, calibration pulse period, and test pulse period; among which, the target pulse parameters include the test transmit pulse width and the test receive pulse width.

[0062] It should be noted that during conventional RCS testing, the pulse parameters are determined based on the quiet zone size, anechoic chamber size, and the positional relationship between the target and the transmitting and receiving antennas, and are usually fixed values. When performing calibration body testing, the parameter settings are consistent with those for conventional RCS testing.

[0063] Specifically, to ensure that the duty cycle of the calibration target and the active repeater target are consistent, the following conditions must be met: Test transmit pulse width / Test pulse period = Calibration transmit pulse width / Calibration pulse period; Test receive pulse width / Test pulse period = Calibration receive pulse width / Calibration pulse period. Therefore, Test transmit pulse width = Calibration transmit pulse width / Calibration pulse period × Test pulse period; Test receive pulse width = Calibration receive pulse width / Calibration pulse period × Test pulse period. It should be noted that the test pulse period > the calibration pulse period.

[0064] In this invention, since the duty cycle is the ratio of the transmitted pulse width to the pulse period, it affects the average power of the radar. If the duty cycles of two test pulses are different, even if the peak power is the same, the average power will be different. Moreover, the average power directly affects the intensity of the target echo signal. Therefore, by fixing the duty cycle, it can be ensured that the average power of the two pulses is consistent, so that the echo signal intensity is determined only by the target scattering characteristics (rather than the transmitted energy), thereby improving the accuracy of the equivalent RCS of active repeater targets.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, obtaining the start time of the transmitted pulse and the end time of the received pulse of the active repeater target to determine the test pulse period of the active repeater target includes:

[0066] The duration from the start time of the transmitted pulse to the end time of the received pulse is determined as the test pulse period.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, obtaining the start time of the transmitted pulse and the end time of the received pulse of the active repeater target to determine the test pulse period of the active repeater target includes:

[0068] The test pulse period is calculated based on the start time of the transmitted pulse, the end time of the received pulse, and the calibration pulse period of the calibrator.

[0069] The test pulse period is determined by the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, T c The test pulse period is defined as follows: T0 is the calibration pulse period; t1 and t2 are the start and end times of the transmitted pulse, respectively. It should be noted that int() is the integer function.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 2 The pulse diagrams shown, from top to bottom, represent the transmit pulse diagram during calibration testing, the receive pulse diagram during calibration testing, the transmit pulse diagram during active repeater target testing, and the receive pulse diagram during active repeater target testing. Figure 2 In practice, the actual time from the start of the transmitted pulse to the end of the received pulse for active repeater targets is greater than 3 times the calibration pulse period but less than 4 times the calibration pulse period. To ensure the pulse periods of the calibration body and the test target are synchronized as much as possible, and to further reduce the RCS error of active repeater targets, in Figure 2 The test pulse period is set to be 4 times the calibration pulse period, which enables the pulse periods of the calibration body and the active forwarding target to be synchronized as a whole, thereby improving the accuracy of the equivalent RCS of the active forwarding target.

[0073] In step 104, the following is adopted: Figure 3 The test setup shown includes a vector network analyzer 301, a transmit hardware gating switch 302, a pulse source 303, a power amplifier 304, a transmit feed 305, a receive hardware gating switch 306, a low-noise amplifier 307, a receive feed 308, and a compact field.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pulse source 303 is connected to the transmitting hardware gating switch 302 and the receiving hardware gating switch 306, respectively.

[0075] The output of the vector network analyzer 301 is connected in sequence to the transmit hardware gating switch 302, the power amplifier 304 and the transmit feed 305;

[0076] The receiving end of the vector network analyzer 301 is connected in sequence to the receiving hardware gating switch 306, the low noise amplifier 307, and the receiving feed 308.

[0077] Specifically, the output of the vector network analyzer is connected in sequence to a transmit hardware gating switch, a power amplifier, and a transmit feed. The transmitted signal is modulated by the hardware gating switch, amplified by the power amplifier, and then radiated into the compact anechoic chamber through the transmit feed. The receiver of the vector network analyzer is connected to a receive hardware gating switch, a low-noise amplifier, and a receive feed. The received signal passes through the receive feed, is amplified by the low-noise amplifier, modulated by the receive hardware gating switch, and then received by the vector network analyzer.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the duty cycle of the emitted pulse of the pulse source 303 is higher than 10%.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment, step 106 involves determining the target RCS value of the active repeater target based on the target echo power, the calibration body echo power, and the calibration body's RCS value, including:

[0080] Calculate the ratio of the RCS value of the calibration body to the echo power of the calibration body;

[0081] The product of the ratio and the target echo power is used as the target RCS value.

[0082] Specifically, the target RCS value = the RCS value of the calibration body × the target echo power / the calibration body echo power.
