DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] To make the technical solutions, advantages, and objectives of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present invention shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0021] Example like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an antenna pattern measurement method based on a segmented gain variable threshold single-bit receiver, and the specific steps are as follows: S1. Set different signal amplitude to threshold ratios (STR), perform single-bit sampling on the signal, perform fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the sampling results, and calculate the quantized signal power. Finally, draw a quantized signal power-STR relationship curve, analyze the monotonic relationship between the quantized signal power and STR, and establish a quantitative model between the quantized signal power and STR. During the single-frequency threshold single-bit sampling process of the signal, intermodulation occurs between the signal harmonics and the single-frequency threshold harmonics. The amplitude of the intermodulation component between the first-order harmonic of the signal and the threshold exhibits a monotonic characteristic with the change of STR within a large STR range. This relationship can be used to recover the amplitude information of the signal, as follows: By setting different STRs, the signal is sampled single-bit, the sampling results are subjected to a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and the quantized signal power is calculated. Finally, a quantized signal power-STR relationship curve is plotted. Given that the initial phase of the single-frequency threshold is random, resulting in unstable results, a Monte Carlo experiment is performed to obtain a more stable curve relationship. For example, when the STR is within the range of -20dB to -5dB, the quantitative relationship between the quantized signal power and the STR is determined segment by segment, and a piecewise linear fit is performed. The formula is as follows: ; in, To quantify the signal power, and Respectively The coefficients of the linear term and the constant term of a piecewise linear function.

[0022] S2. Based on the principle of energy conservation, the stability of the quantized signal power under undersampling and normal sampling conditions is determined, and an antenna pattern reconstruction strategy applicable to different ratios of sampling rate to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signal bandwidth is constructed. The specific strategy is as follows: Receiver sampling rate is fixed, however there are many types of SAR and their signal bandwidth In order to meet the measurement requirements of various SAR antenna patterns, a system suitable for different ratios of sampling rate to signal bandwidth ( ) antenna pattern reconstruction strategy. When it is less than 1, it is in undersampling condition, and the spectrum of the signal will be aliased. According to the law of conservation of energy, the receiver sampling rate The corresponding frequency range ( ), the estimated quantized signal power remains basically unchanged, so the actual amplitude of the received signal can still be restored according to the quantitative model in step 1; when When σ is greater than or equal to 1, the signal spectrum is free of aliasing, and the quantized signal power can be directly estimated normally. This shows that regardless of the SAR signal bandwidth, the receiver only needs to use a fixed sampling rate to recover the actual amplitude information of the received signal and thus reconstruct the radar antenna pattern.

[0023] S3. Determine the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the received signal based on the swath width and the theoretical antenna pattern gain, segment the amplitude based on the STR interval when the quantized signal power changes monotonically with the STR, and calculate the fixed threshold for each segment; like Figure 2 As shown, the amplitude of the received signal is determined by the antenna pattern gain in the elevation dimension. and azimuth-dimensional antenna pattern gain Jointly decide, among others, is the angle between the SAR's closest slant range to the survey swath and the SAR's slant range to the receiver, is the instantaneous slant angle in azimuth; the maximum amplitude of the received signal The minimum amplitude of the received signal is obtained when the receiver is located at the center of the survey swath. Obtained when the receiver is simultaneously at the edge of the azimuth beam and the edge of the swath, where is the slant distance from the SAR to the center of the swath, and are the shortest and longest slant ranges from SAR to the survey swath, respectively.

[0024] Due to the different placement of the receiver and the movement of the SAR platform, the amplitude of the received signal has a large dynamic range. In order to control the STR within a monotonic range, it is necessary to segment the amplitude of the received signal and set a different threshold for each segment. The specific steps are as follows: S31. Calculate the threshold of the first segment of the received signal amplitude using the following formula: ; in, is the threshold of the first segment of the received signal amplitude, is the maximum value of STR in the monotonically changing interval; S32. Calculate the minimum amplitude of the first segment using the following formula: ; in, is the minimum amplitude of the first segment of the received signal amplitude, is the minimum value of the monotonically changing interval STR; S33, the minimum amplitude of the first segment of the received signal amplitude As the maximum amplitude of the second segment of the received signal amplitude , calculate the threshold of the second segment of the received signal amplitude ; S34, repeat steps S31-S33, and calculate the threshold and minimum amplitude of each subsequent segment in sequence until the minimum amplitude calculated in the last segment of the received signal amplitude is less than or equal to the minimum amplitude of the received signal .

[0025] S4. After the signal is sampled using a single-bit single-frequency threshold, harmonic components of the single-frequency threshold are introduced into the signal spectrum. The presence of these harmonic components can lead to unstable estimation of the quantized signal power. To more accurately estimate the quantized signal power, spectrum analysis is performed on the signal after single-bit sampling to remove the single-frequency harmonic components. S5. Calculate STR based on the quantitative model in step S1 and the quantized signal power in step S4, determine the original amplitude of the received signal based on the segmented threshold in step S3, and obtain the actual received signal power; When the SAR's azimuth beam coverage area completely sweeps over a receiver, the receiver records different instantaneous slant angles. The received signal is , is the number of sampling points in the azimuth direction. Since the receiver uses single-frequency threshold single-bit sampling, the recorded data is a quantized signal. It is necessary to restore the actual amplitude of the received signal to calculate the actual received power. When the instantaneous slant angle between the SAR and the receiver is When , the original amplitude mean of the signal received by the receiver is , there is a monotonic relationship between the known quantized signal power and STR in step S1, combined with the quantized signal power estimated in step S4 , STR is calculated based on the piecewise linear fitting relationship, and the formula is as follows: ; in, Instantaneous squint angle The quantized signal power under For the Signal threshold ratio at each azimuth point; Then determine the current instantaneous squint angle according to the segmentation of step S3 The corresponding threshold , calculate the mean of the original amplitude of the received signal, the formula is as follows: ; in, Instantaneous squint angle The mean of the original amplitude of the received signal under Instantaneous squint angle The corresponding threshold.

[0026] The actual received signal power is obtained from the average of the original amplitudes of the received signal. The formula is as follows: ; in, Instantaneous squint angle The actual received signal power under S6. Processing data from a single receiver separately and comprehensively processing data from multiple receivers to obtain azimuth antenna pattern sampling values ​​and range antenna pattern sampling values, and reconstructing azimuth and range antenna patterns; At the zero Doppler moment, each receiver records the received signal at that moment. According to the method in step S5, the actual power of the received signal of each receiver at the zero Doppler moment is calculated. , Corresponding to different angles The actual power of the received signal under The SAR is the closest slant range to the survey swath and the SAR is the closest slant range to the first The angle between the slant ranges of the receivers (after zero Doppler calibration), For the A receiver.

[0027] S7. Calculate the azimuth antenna gain and the elevation antenna gain according to the radar equation; The radar equation calculation formula is as follows: ; in, and are the received signal power and the transmitted signal power, respectively. is the wavelength, is the slant distance between the SAR and the receiver, is the antenna gain in azimuth dimension, is the antenna gain in the elevation dimension; Azimuth antenna gain The calculation formula is as follows: ; wherein, is the azimuth antenna gain under the instantaneous squint angle ; is the range antenna gain under the included angle , and the calculation formula is as follows: ; wherein, is the instantaneous squint angle of SAR and the receiver at the zero Doppler moment.

[0028] S8, according to the calculated azimuth antenna gain and elevation antenna gain, the azimuth antenna pattern is reconstructed by linear interpolation, and the range antenna pattern is reconstructed by cubic polynomial fitting.

[0029] It is worth noting that the contents not elaborated in the present application are all prior art and are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] Therefore, the present application provides an antenna pattern measurement method based on a segmented gain variable threshold single-bit receiver, which reduces data storage, simplifies the receiver structure, reduces hardware cost and power consumption through a single-frequency threshold single-bit quantization strategy, solves the problem of high cost of traditional ground receivers, and at the same time, combines the segmented fixed threshold strategy to recover the signal amplitude, guarantees the measurement accuracy to meet the SAR radiation calibration requirements, and also based on the principle of energy conservation, makes the receiver adapt to different bandwidth SARs at a fixed sampling rate, breaks through the limitation of traditional sampling rate, and has stronger adaptability.
