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 play an increasingly important role in low-altitude environments in production and life, and are widely used in agricultural irrigation, remote sensing surveying and mapping, and emergency rescue, etc. At the same time, behaviors such as "black flight" and "random flight" of unmanned aerial vehicles have caused great security risks 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 driving away of the abnormal flying UAV.
[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. The ZC sequence has 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, the image transmission signal with a bandwidth of 9MHz is a ZC sequence with a length of 601 and a root index of 600; the image transmission signal with a bandwidth of 18MHz is a ZC sequence with a length of 1201 and a root index of 1200), and the periodicity appears when the image signal is transmitted (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 existing in the prior art, the application provides a method and device for estimating the frequency and bandwidth of an unmanned aerial vehicle image transmission signal, which does not need to construct a spectrum waterfall diagram, so that the real-time performance is guaranteed, and because the ZC sequence has good cross-correlation characteristics, it still has good detection accuracy at a low signal-to-noise ratio, thereby guaranteeing the estimation performance.

[0009] In step 130, delay correlation processing is performed on each signal segment passing the preliminary screening to obtain a corresponding delay correlation result sequence;
[0010] In step 140, 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 to intercept a signal segment containing the ZC sequence;
[0011] In step 150, reference ZC sequences under different bandwidths are obtained;
[0012] In step 160, the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is subjected to conjugate multiplication with the reference ZC sequences under different bandwidths and then fast Fourier transform processing to obtain the spectrum of the conjugate multiplication result; whether the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal is determined according to the peak-to-average ratio of the spectrum modulus of the conjugate multiplication result; if the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is determined to be the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal, the bandwidth of the image transmission signal is obtained according to the type of the reference ZC sequence, and the center frequency of the image transmission signal is obtained according to the peak position of the spectrum modulus of the conjugate multiplication result; if the signal segment containing the ZC sequence is determined to be not the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV, the signal segment is subjected to preliminary screening again in step 120 until a signal segment determined to be the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal is obtained.
[0013] 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:

[0017] 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 a signal segment containing the ZC sequence;
[0018] A fifth module is configured to obtain reference ZC sequences under different bandwidths;
[0019] 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.

[0038] The unmanned aerial vehicle image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth estimation method provided by the application is based on full use of ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequence characteristics. The ZC sequence is a constant amplitude zero auto-correlation (CAZAC) sequence widely used in communication systems, and has spectral conjugate symmetry, ideal periodic autocorrelation and good cross-correlation. If the time domain representation of the ZC sequence is: , the spectral conjugate symmetry means that there is even symmetry of the corresponding spectral amplitude and odd symmetry of the phase. When the sequence length is odd, the fast Fourier transform (denoted as FFT) of the ZC sequence satisfies:

[0055] Step 123: Use peak-to-average power ratio to determine signal segmentation. Whether it passes the initial screening: if the peak-to-average ratio is... Greater than or equal to the set threshold value , it is determined that the signal segment may contain a ZC sequence, and the signal segment is determined to contain a ZC sequence. If the peak-to-average ratio is less than a set threshold value , it is determined that the signal segment does not contain a ZC sequence, and the signal segment is determined to not contain a ZC sequence.
[0056] If the signal segment fails the preliminary screening, the next signal segment is subjected to steps 121-123. Preferably, the threshold value

The ifftshift operation restores the frequency domain data to the original position, ensuring the correctness of the subsequent inverse Fourier transform.
[0072] Through similar operations, when the bandwidth of the image transmission signal is 18MHz, the sampling rate is 61.44MHz, the ZC sequence in time domain can be obtained.

[0074] Further, in step 160, the aforementioned signal segment containing ZC sequence and the locally stored reference ZC sequence are used to determine whether the signal segment containing ZC sequence is the synchronization ZC sequence of the UAV image transmission signal through correlation coefficient calculation, including:

[0095] For the above embodiment, the present application carries out corresponding experiments in order to verify the effectiveness of the UAV image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth estimation method proposed by the present application. In this experiment, the DJI spark 4PV2.0 is used to identify the image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth, Figure 2 The waterfall diagram of the synchronization ZC sequence of the DJI spark 4PV2.0 image transmission signal is given, as Figure 2 shown, there is a synchronization ZC sequence at time 25 μs to 90 μs. The modulus sequence in step 120 is shown in Figure 3 , it can be seen that the peak-to-average ratio of the sequence is large. In step 130, the modulus value of the delay correlation result sequence is shown in Figure 4 . In step 160, as shown in Figure 5 , the maximum value index of the modulus value of the sequence is 1980, and the calculated signal center frequency is -1.035 MHz, which is consistent with the center frequency of the synchronization ZC sequence in the time-frequency diagram of Figure 2 . The above process fully demonstrates the effectiveness of the method.
[0096] The unmanned aerial vehicle image transmission signal frequency and bandwidth estimation method provided by the application, through segmenting and intercepting the received signal, uses the peak-to-average ratio to quickly screen the potential signal segment. Delay correlation processing is performed on the screened segment, the starting point is located using the ideal autocorrelation characteristics of the ZC sequence, and the segment is intercepted. 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 quick screening, the calculation amount is small and allows the system to process short-time data blocks in parallel or in a streaming manner, significantly improving the real-time performance. The correlation characteristics of the ZC sequence are fully utilized, and through the double confirmation mechanism (the combination of the screening in step 120 and the conditional judgment in step 160), the robustness and accuracy in a 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 a good application prospect in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle image transmission signal analysis and detection.
