Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of exploration geophysical theory and data processing, and in particular relates to a method and system for frequency domain ground penetrating radar emission source coding and received signal synthesis. Background Art

[0002] Ground penetrating radar is fast, non-destructive and efficient, and is widely used in near-surface physical surveys such as urban underground pipeline detection, road structure inspection, engineering inspection and environmental monitoring.

[0003] Currently, common ground-penetrating radar systems include time-domain pulse radar and frequency-domain continuous-wave radar. Time-domain pulse radar uses ultra-wideband pulses as its transmitting signal, offering high temporal resolution. While the transmitted signal possesses high instantaneous power, the short pulse duration and low average power result in poor noise immunity. Frequency-domain continuous-wave radar uses a continuous-wave or stepped-frequency signal as its transmitting source, offering excellent anti-interference capabilities. However, because the amplitude and phase of the transmitted signals at each frequency point are incoherent and lack a coding coordination relationship between the frequencies, the reconstructed image typically only synthesizes a one-dimensional range image. The coherent features between target echoes are not retained, reducing the ability to identify unusual targets.

[0004] Although the current frequency domain ground penetrating radar has a certain resolution capability, the amplitude and phase of the transmitted signal at each frequency point are not constrainedly encoded, and there is a lack of synthesis methods suitable for the echo response of the coded transmitted signal, which restricts the theoretical development and practical application of ground penetrating radar. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a frequency domain ground penetrating radar transmission source encoding and receiving signal synthesis method to improve the anti-noise performance of the ground penetrating radar and the ability to resolve the reflection signals of abnormal bodies.

[0006] A second object of the present invention is to provide a system for implementing the frequency domain ground penetrating radar transmission source encoding and receiving signal synthesis method.

[0010] S3. Construct a typical geoelectric model for forward simulation based on the target detection depth and application scenario;

[0011] S4. Using the impulse signal as the emission source, the ground-penetrating radar signal is forward modeled on the geoelectric model obtained in step S3 to obtain an impulse response. Then, based on the multi-frequency coded sine wave emission signal and the impulse response obtained in step S2, the time domain forward modeling result is obtained;

[0012] S5. According to the time domain forward modeling result obtained in step S4, extract the in-phase component and the orthogonal component of the frequency response, and then synthesize the frequency domain response into the time domain equivalent signal based on the obtained in-phase component and the orthogonal component of the frequency response.

[0039] Where h(t) is the impulse response; λ is the forward operator of the geoelectric model; δ(t) is the impulse signal;

[0124] The method of the present invention is further described below with reference to an embodiment:

[0125] In this embodiment, the amplitude-phase coded frequency signals in the frequency band where the main energy of the Ricker wavelet of the typical time-domain ground penetrating radar transmission signal is concentrated are used as the stepped frequency continuous wave transmission signal. The in-phase component I(f i ) and the quadrature component Q(f i ). The complex response of each frequency point I(f i )+jQ(f i ), and the frequency domain synthetic response of the quasi-ricker wavelet is obtained by inverse Fourier transform.

[0126] In this embodiment, the Ricker wavelet with a center frequency of 900 MHz is taken as an example (eg Figure 3 shown). Figure 3 (a) shows the time domain waveform of the Ricker wavelet. The amplitude spectrum is obtained by Fourier transforming the Ricker wavelet (e.g. Figure 3 (b)) and phase spectrum (as shown in Figure 3 (c)). Figure 3 (b) It can be seen that the amplitude spectrum of this Ricker wavelet has the largest amplitude near the center frequency of 900 MHz, which means that the energy at this frequency point is the strongest; the amplitude values ​​of frequencies greater than 3 GHz approach 0, and the energy is negligible. Therefore, it is determined that the passband of the Ricker wavelet with a center frequency of 900 MHz is 0-3 GHz.

[0127] The amplitude spectrum of the Ricker wavelet is obtained in the passband range of 0-3GHz with a frequency step of 20MHz ( Figure 3 (b)) and phase spectrum ( Figure 3 (c)) is discretized to obtain the amplitude values ​​of 150 frequency points ( Figure 4 (a)) and phase value ( Figure 4 (b)), and use this as the amplitude A(f i ) and phase φ(f iThe amplitude and phase of each frequency point code are used to construct the coded sine (cosine) wave transmission signal s i (t) = A(f i )cos(2πf i t+φ(f i )), serves as the source signal for the subsequent geoelectric model forward modeling.

[0128] In order to obtain the geoelectric response of the continuous wave transmission signal, a typical simple model (such as Figure 5 The model is 3m*2.1m in size and consists of three layers of dielectric material: air, dielectric material with a small dielectric constant, and dielectric material with a large dielectric constant. Two circular anomalies are placed at the interface between the lower two dielectric layers.

[0129] The encoded signal s i (t) is used as a continuous wave emission source, and the open source ground penetrating radar simulation software gprMax is used to perform forward modeling on the above model. Figure 6 is the geoelectric model response of the continuous wave emission at 900MHz with the observation point located at the center of the model air layer medium, and the response y at other frequencies i (t) can be obtained by the same method. In order to improve the efficiency of forward calculation, this example adopts the method of convolving the transmission signal based on the impulse response of the model. It only needs to set the transmission signal as the impulse signal and use the gprMax software to forward the model once to obtain the impulse response of the geoelectric model. The encoded transmission signal s at each frequency point is converted into i (t) Perform convolution operation with the impulse response one by one to quickly obtain the forward modeling results y of each frequency point i (t).

[0130] The response y of each frequency point i (t) The in-phase component I(f) of each frequency response is obtained by Fourier transform. i ) and the quadrature component Q(f i ), combined into the complex response I(f i )+jQ(f i ). The complex response I(f i )+jQ(f i ) inverse Fourier transform to obtain the quasi-ricker wavelet response of the frequency domain coding source, that is, Figure 7 The data1 composite signal marked with "+" in the figure. Figure 7 Data2, marked with "----," is the forward modeling result of the geoelectric model using a time-domain Ricker wavelet with a center frequency of 900 MHz as the transmission signal. Comparing the synthesized signal data1 (frequency-domain coded source response) with the forward modeling result using the time-domain Ricker wavelet, the two are almost identical.

[0131] The above results show that by performing Ricker-like wavelet spectrum shaping on the spectrum of the frequency domain continuous wave ground penetrating radar transmission signal, the amplitude and phase encoding of each frequency point of the quasi-ricker wavelet can be obtained. The model response of the encoded frequency domain ground penetrating radar transmission signal is accurately synthesized into a quasi-ricker wavelet response through inverse Fourier transform. The present invention provides an effective frequency domain ground penetrating radar emission source coding scheme and realizes the synthesis of multi-frequency point frequency domain ground penetrating radar signals. This scheme can be extended to other coding schemes for frequency domain ground penetrating radar transmission signals, such as quasi-Gaussian waveform coding, quasi-Gaussian derivative waveform coding of various orders, and various custom coding, laying a theoretical foundation for the development of frequency domain ground penetrating radar hardware.
