Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of image transmission signal transmission, and particularly relates to a method and device for estimating the frequency and bandwidth of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image transmission signal. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of science and technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an increasingly important role in low-altitude environments in production and life, and are widely used in fields such as agricultural irrigation, remote sensing surveying and mapping, and emergency rescue. At the same time, behaviors such as “black flight” and “random flight” of UAVs also pose a great security risk to public affairs and personal information. In order to protect the safety of the public and personal privacy, it is necessary to obtain the frequency and bandwidth characteristics of the UAV image transmission signal, and then use these characteristics to complete the interference and expulsion of abnormal flying UAVs.

[0003] The commonly used method for estimating the frequency and bandwidth of the UAV image transmission signal constructs a spectrum waterfall diagram for the IQ data, and then uses image morphological methods to process the spectrum waterfall diagram to obtain the frequency and bandwidth of the image transmission signal. However, this method has the problems of long data collection time and poor real-time performance. In addition, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the signal block characteristics in the spectrum waterfall diagram are not strong, and the detection accuracy of this method is difficult to guarantee.

[0004] Some signals in the UAV image transmission signal contain pilot sequences for synchronization, which are often composed of ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequences, and the root index is constant. ZC sequences have ideal periodic autocorrelation characteristics and good cross-correlation characteristics. In addition, the construction of the ZC synchronization sequence in the UAV image transmission signal is often related to its bandwidth (for example, a 9MHz bandwidth image transmission signal is a ZC sequence with a length of 601 and a root index of 600; an 18MHz bandwidth image transmission signal is a ZC sequence with a length of 1201 and a root index of 1200), and the periodicity appears when transmitting image signals (for example, a synchronization ZC sequence is sent every 20ms). If these characteristics are utilized, the frequency and bandwidth estimation of the UAV image transmission signal can be completed when the synchronization pilot sequence appears. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to effectively solve the above problems in the prior art, the application provides a method and device for estimating the frequency and bandwidth of a UAV image transmission signal, which does not need to construct a spectrum waterfall diagram, ensuring real-time performance, and because ZC sequences have good cross-correlation characteristics, they still have good detection accuracy at low signal-to-noise ratios, ensuring estimation performance.

[0007] The application also provides a UAV image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth estimation device, which is used to implement the steps of the foregoing method, and comprises: A first module is configured to segment and intercept the received UAV image transmission signal to obtain multiple signal segments; A second module is configured to use the spectral conjugate symmetry of the ZC sequence to pre-screen the multiple signal segments one by one to obtain the signal segments passing the pre-screening; A third module is configured to perform delay correlation processing on each signal segment passing the pre-screening to obtain a corresponding delay correlation result sequence; A fourth module is configured to take the index value corresponding to the maximum modulus value in the delay correlation result sequence as the starting index of the ZC sequence to intercept the signal segment containing the ZC sequence; A fifth module is configured to obtain reference ZC sequences under different bandwidths; The sixth module is used for conjugate multiplication of the signal segment containing the ZC sequence and a reference ZC sequence under different bandwidths, and then fast Fourier transform processing is performed on the conjugate multiplication result to obtain a frequency spectrum of the conjugate multiplication result; whether the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is a synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal is determined according to a peak-to-average ratio of the frequency spectrum modulus value of the conjugate multiplication result; if it is determined that the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal, the image transmission signal bandwidth is obtained according to the type of the reference ZC sequence, and the image transmission signal center frequency is obtained according to the peak position of the frequency spectrum modulus value of the conjugate multiplication result; if it is determined that the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is not the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV, the step of the second module is returned to, and the signal segmentation is re-performed for initial screening until the signal segment of the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal is obtained.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the UAV image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth estimation method and device provided by the application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The application performs segmentation and interception on the image transmission signal, and performs fast initial screening by using the peak-to-average ratio, so that the calculation amount is small, parallel or streaming processing of short data blocks is allowed, and real-time performance is significantly improved.

[0009] (2) The application fully utilizes the correlation characteristics of the ZC sequence, and greatly enhances the robustness and accuracy in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment (depending on the strong correlation characteristics of the ZC sequence) through a double confirmation mechanism (combination of initial screening in step 120 and conditional judgment in step 160), which is computationally efficient and provides fast and reliable bandwidth information for a UAV detection and countermeasure system, and has a good application prospect in the field of UAV image transmission signal analysis and detection.

[0015] The UAV image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth estimation method provided by the present application is based on the full use of the characteristics of the ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequence. The ZC sequence is a constant amplitude zero autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequence widely used in communication systems, which has spectral conjugate symmetry, ideal periodic autocorrelation and good cross-correlation. If the time domain representation of the ZC sequence is: ( ), its spectrum conjugate symmetry refers to the even symmetry of the corresponding spectrum amplitude and the odd symmetry of the phase. When it is an odd number, the fast Fourier transform of the ZC sequence (using represents the operation of FFT transformation) satisfies: ; in, express The conjugate frequency domain signal of (the complex signal is conjugated).

[0016] The spectrum conjugate symmetry of the ZC sequence is beneficial to reducing the complexity of the OFDM system equalizer.

[0017] Specifically, in step 110, the drone image transmission signal is received , ; The received drone image transmission signal is a complex signal (IQ data), which consists of an in-phase component (I) and a quadrature component (Q), and can be expressed as ,in Is an imaginary unit.

[0024] In general, a sampling rate is 15.36 MHz, is set to 72, is set to 1024; a sampling rate is 61.44 MHz, is set to 288, is set to 4096.

[0025] Further, in step 140, since the tail data of the OFDM symbol is the same as the cyclic prefix thereof, the index value corresponding to the maximum modulus value in the delay correlation result sequence is taken as the starting index of the ZC sequence, that is, the following is taken: ; wherein, is a function of finding a maximum value point; then is the starting index of the ZC sequence.

[0027] Specifically, in step 150, reference ZC sequences of different bandwidths stored locally are obtained for different sampling rates, including: The frequency domain representation of the reference ZC sequence corresponding to the local storage for different sampling rates is: .

[0028] wherein, is a root index of the ZC sequence, is the total number of sampling points of the signal. If the bandwidth of the video transmission signal is 9MHz, , root index ; if the bandwidth of the video transmission signal is 18MHz, , root index .

The number of sampling points of the fast Fourier transform when the bandwidth of the drone image transmission signal is 18MHz; Step 165: When the above conditions are not met, it indicates that the signal segment Does not contain ZC sequence, also known as signal fragment If it is not the synchronous ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal, go back to step 120 and segment the signal. Perform the initial screening again and re-execute steps 120 to 160 until a signal segment containing a ZC sequence that is determined to be a synchronized ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal is obtained.

[0034] In view of the above embodiments, the present invention has conducted corresponding experiments to verify the effectiveness of the method for estimating the frequency and bandwidth of the image transmission signal of the drone proposed in the present invention. This experiment was conducted on a DJI Phantom 4 PV2.0 to identify the image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth.

Delay correlation processing is performed on the preliminary screening segment, and the starting point of the ZC sequence is located and the segment is intercepted by using the ideal autocorrelation characteristics of the ZC sequence. The correlation coefficient of the segment and the local reference ZC sequence is calculated for accurate matching confirmation. Once the confirmation is successful, the bandwidth is directly determined according to the detected ZC sequence length (such as 601 corresponding to 9MHz, 1201 corresponding to 18MHz). The scheme discards the time-consuming spectrum diagram construction and image processing, and through segmenting and intercepting the signal and using the spectral conjugate symmetry of the ZC sequence for fast preliminary screening, the calculation amount is small and the system allows parallel or streaming processing of short data blocks, which significantly improves the real-time performance. Make full use of the correlation characteristics of the ZC sequence itself, through the double confirmation mechanism (combination of preliminary screening in step 120 and conditional judgment in step 160), the robustness and accuracy in low signal-to-noise ratio environment are greatly enhanced (depending on the strong correlation characteristics of the ZC sequence), the calculation is efficient, and the unmanned aerial vehicle detection and countermeasure system provides fast and reliable bandwidth information, which has good application prospect in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle image transmission signal analysis and detection.
