Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar technology, specifically relating to a method and device for spectrum reconstruction of multi-channel SAR signals from a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory. Background Technology

[0002] With the significant increase in platform flight speed, single antennas are limited by the minimum antenna area required for unambiguous imaging in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems. It is difficult to simultaneously achieve unambiguous range and azimuth imaging. Multi-channel SAR systems can overcome these limitations, enabling unambiguous SAR imaging at high speeds. Conventional multi-channel SAR systems typically deploy their channel arrays linearly along the horizontal direction. However, for SAR platforms with complex shapes and limited internal space, horizontally deployed multi-channel systems cannot be accommodated. Oblique-array multi-channel systems, on the other hand, have an array axis at an angle to the horizontal direction. By flexibly adjusting the installation angle, they can fully utilize the platform's internal space, making them more adaptable to SAR platforms with limited internal space.

[0003] For subsequent imaging processing, spectral reconstruction of oblique-array multi-channel SAR signals is crucial. However, in a dive trajectory, the radar platform has a three-dimensional flight velocity, and current multi-channel SAR spectral reconstruction methods are designed based on level flight trajectory models, which cannot be applied to the spectral reconstruction of oblique-array multi-channel SAR signals in a dive trajectory. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a spectral reconstruction method for oblique-array multi-channel SAR signals of high-speed platforms in a dive trajectory. Summary of the Invention To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention provides a method and device for spectrum reconstruction of multi-channel SAR signals from a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for spectral reconstruction of multi-channel SAR signals from a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory, comprising: Acquire multi-channel echo signals, wherein the multi-channel echo signals are azimuth-ambiguous multi-channel data; The multi-channel echo signal is sequentially subjected to coordinate rotation transformation and distance pulse compression to obtain the pulse-compressed multi-channel echo signal. The pulse-compressed echo signal of each channel is sequentially processed by range FFT, linear motion correction, azimuth FFT and range IFFT to obtain the range-time-domain and azimuth-frequency-domain echo signal of each channel after motion correction. The distance-time-domain, azimuth-frequency-domain echo signals after motion correction processing for each channel are all divided into distance blocks; The spatial filtering weight vectors of each Doppler ambiguity direction of the Doppler cell are determined by using a steering vector matrix, wherein the expression of the steering vector matrix is ​​obtained by modeling the spatiotemporal spectrum of a downslope multichannel SAR with a dive trajectory. Based on the spatial filtering weight vectors of each Doppler ambiguity direction, the echo signal after range segmentation is reconstructed using the Doppler spectrum to obtain an equivalent single-channel two-dimensional unambiguous echo signal.

[0005] The present invention also provides a spectrum reconstruction device for multi-channel SAR signals of a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory, comprising a processor, a communication interface, a memory, and a communication bus, wherein the processor, the communication interface, and the memory communicate with each other through the communication bus; The memory is used to store computer programs; When the processor executes the program stored in the memory, it implements the steps of the above-mentioned method for spectral reconstruction of multi-channel SAR signals of a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention accurately models the spatiotemporal spectrum of a multi-channel SAR array with an oblique array under a dive trajectory, deriving an analytical expression for the nonlinear steering vector and analyzing its range non-stationary characteristics. Based on this, the multi-channel echo signal is divided into range blocks, and spectral reconstruction is performed using spatial filtering methods to obtain an equivalent single-channel unambiguous echo signal. This lays the foundation for subsequent unambiguous SAR imaging and achieves accurate spectral reconstruction of high-speed platform oblique array multi-channel SAR signals under a dive trajectory. This invention effectively overcomes the range non-stationarity problem of oblique array multi-channel SAR signals through range block spectral reconstruction processing, and can simultaneously achieve accurate spectral reconstruction of targets at different distances in the scene. This invention is applicable to the spectral reconstruction of conventional multi-channel arrays deployed horizontally and oblique array multi-channel arrays under horizontal or dive trajectories, effectively improving the algorithm's adaptability to radar platforms and flight trajectories.

Detailed Implementation

[0009] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for spectral reconstruction of a multi-channel SAR signal from a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for spectral reconstruction of multi-channel SAR signals from a high-speed platform under a dive trajectory, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. (Combined with...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the method includes: S101. Acquire multi-channel echo signals. Multi-channel echo signals are azimuth-ambiguous multi-channel data.

[0011] For example, a multi-channel echo signal can be M Azimuth ambiguity echo data for each channel.

[0012] S102. Perform coordinate rotation transformation and distance pulse compression on the multi-channel echo signal in sequence to obtain the pulse-compressed multi-channel echo signal.

[0013] S103. Perform range FFT transformation, linear motion correction processing, azimuth FFT transformation and range IFFT transformation processing on the pulse-compressed echo signal of each channel in sequence to obtain the range, time domain and azimuth frequency domain echo signal after motion correction processing for each channel.

[0014] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, for the echo signal of each channel, a range FFT transform is first performed, and then a linear travel correction function is used to perform linear travel correction on the echo signal after the range FFT transform. After that, the azimuth FFT transform and range IFFT transform are performed on the echo signal after linear travel correction in sequence to obtain the range, time domain, azimuth, and frequency domain echo signal after travel correction processing for that channel.

[0015] S104. The distance, time-domain, azimuth, and frequency-domain echo signals after the movement correction processing of each channel are all divided into distance blocks.

[0016] S105. The spatial filtering weight vector of each Doppler ambiguity direction of the Doppler cell is determined by using the steering vector matrix. The expression of the steering vector matrix is ​​obtained by modeling the spatiotemporal spectrum of the downslope array multichannel SAR of the dive trajectory.

[0017] S106. Based on the spatial filtering weight vectors of each Doppler ambiguity direction, the echo signal after distance segmentation is reconstructed using the Doppler spectrum to obtain an equivalent single-channel two-dimensional unambiguous echo signal.

[0018] Here, precise spatiotemporal spectral modeling can be performed in advance to obtain the steering vector matrix, and then the spatial filtering weight vector can be determined. After that, the range-time-azimuth-frequency echo signals after travel correction processing for each channel are divided into range blocks. Finally, the Doppler spectrum reconstruction of the range-blocked echo signals is performed using the spatial filtering weight vector. Alternatively, the range-time-azimuth-frequency echo signals after travel correction processing for each channel can be divided into range blocks first, and then precise spatiotemporal spectral modeling can be performed to obtain the steering vector matrix. Then, the spatial filtering weight vector can be determined, and finally, the Doppler spectrum reconstruction of the range-blocked echo signals is performed using the spatial filtering weight vector.

[0019] It should be noted that after range correction processing of the range-time-azimuth-frequency-domain echo signals for each channel, range blocks are applied to ensure that each range block contains a portion of the echo signals from all channels. Therefore, it can be calculated according to... Figure 2As shown, Doppler spectrum reconstruction is performed on a portion of the echo signals of all channels in each range block in sequence until all range blocks have been traversed. Based on the Doppler spectrum reconstruction results of a portion of the echo signals of all range blocks, an equivalent single-channel two-dimensional unambiguous echo signal is obtained.

[0020] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the final equivalent single-channel two-dimensional unambiguous echo signal can be used for unambiguous SAR imaging to obtain unambiguous SAR images.

[0021] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned S102 is implemented through the following steps: S1021, Based on the radar platform's flight speed vector Velocity vector after projection onto the ground In the imaging coordinate system of Axis and Components of the axis and Calculate the rotation angle .

We assume there are a total of... There are 1 channel (taking an odd number as an example), and each channel is numbered as follows: After equivalent phase center processing, the channel To the central passage The spacing is (in the central passage) Ahead, (positive for positive, negative for negative), representing the unit vector along the channel axis as... , , In the imaging coordinate system of , and The three components on the axis.

Figure 3 As shown, the channels are distributed in a plane. Inside, assuming a plane Pitch angle (relative to plane) The included angle is Then the installation angle between the channel array axis and the horizontal direction is . The projection of each passage onto the ground is .

[0026] To reduce the complexity of subsequent spectral reconstruction, the imaging coordinate system is first... A rotational transformation is performed to make the range velocity of the radar platform (i.e., the multi-channel SAR system) zero. Assume the radar platform's flight velocity vector is... ,but The velocity vector projected onto the ground plane is First, calculate the vector.

It should be noted that when When it is negative, the imaging coordinate system of Axis and Axis winding The shafts rotate counterclockwise. , and when When positive, the imaging coordinate system of Axis and Axis winding The shafts rotate clockwise. After the coordinate system rotation, the radar platform's flight velocity vector... Transform into ,in: The channel axis vector is ,in: .

[0027] S1024. Perform distance pulse compression processing on the multi-channel echo signal after rotation transformation to obtain the pulse-compressed multi-channel echo signal.

[0028] Here, the geometric model of oblique side array multi-channel SAR imaging is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. The echo signal model for a slanted array multi-channel SAR is derived below. Assume the radar platform moves along...

Its yaw angle is .point Time The slope distance is Its ground projection is Then point The coordinates can be represented as .aisle At any position The position is Then the channel Time instantaneous slant distance for: The radar transmits a linear frequency modulated signal. Assuming the echo signal is unambiguous in both the range and azimuth directions, after pulse compression, the channel... The received echo signal is represented as: ,in, Indicates distance over time. Point The scattering intensity, Indicates the transmission bandwidth. Represents the speed of light. Indicates the signal wavelength.

[0029] Before performing spectrum reconstruction, the pulse-compressed echo signal needs to undergo linear motion correction processing to compensate for the Doppler center of the echo and correct the two-dimensional coupling of the spectrum, thereby reducing the Doppler bandwidth. Specifically, from the point... Point to the center of the scene The vector is , The pitch angle is Then the echo Doppler at the center of the scene at the azimuth center time is: The expression for the linear movement correction function is: ,in, Indicates distance frequency, This indicates the carrier frequency of the signal. Then the channel can be... Received echo signal pairs Perform a Fourier transform, then multiply it in the range frequency domain by the linear traverse correction function, and then... and Perform a Fourier transform to obtain the channel. The distance-time-domain and azimuth-frequency-domain echo signals after movement correction processing ,in, Indicates the baseband azimuth frequency. is the pulse repetition frequency.

[0030] In some embodiments, S104 specifically involves: dividing the range-time-domain, azimuth-frequency-domain echo signal after the travel correction processing of each channel into... Each distance block is used to obtain the echo signal of each distance block in each channel.

[0031] For a azimuth multichannel SAR system, each Doppler cell corresponds to One direction of arrival, therefore, from The steering vectors of the Doppler blur direction are combined to form a steering vector matrix. For example, the steering vector matrix... The expression is: ,in, Indicates matrix transpose. Represents Doppler units The The steering vector of the Doppler blur direction, Represents Doppler units The steering vector of the 0th Doppler blur direction, Represents Doppler units The A steering vector for the direction of Doppler blur.

[0032] The following explains the process of obtaining the steering vector matrix by modeling the spatiotemporal spectrum of a downsloping side array multichannel SAR on a dive trajectory: For a multi-channel azimuth SAR system, the echo signal received by each channel is a superposition of multiple Doppler ambiguity components, with the Doppler ambiguity factor being... ,in, Let be the Doppler bandwidth in the unambiguous case.

Therefore, point The ground yaw angle can be expressed using echo Doppler as: Substitute this expression into the above The expression can be used to obtain The included angle is indicated The expression: . This Substituting the expression into the above... From the expression, we can obtain the effect of multi-channel SAR with oblique side array on fuzzy components in the dive trajectory. The guide vector : For azimuth multichannel SAR, each Doppler cell corresponds to... One destination direction, from By combining the steering vectors of the Doppler blur direction, the steering vector matrix can be obtained. : .

[0033] It should be noted that, according to the above The spatiotemporal spectrum of the oblique array multichannel SAR under the dive trajectory was characterized, based on The expression shows that the spatiotemporal spectrum is related to the slant range variable of the target. , and pitch angle Relatedly, the spatiotemporal spectra corresponding to different range units do not coincide in the spatiotemporal plane. Especially in the short range, the spatiotemporal characteristics of the signal change more drastically. Therefore, this invention divides the echo signal into blocks in the range direction and constructs a steering vector matrix based on the slant range and pitch angle parameters corresponding to the center of each range block. Subsequently, the spectrum of each range block signal is reconstructed one by one. In this way, the influence of range non-stationary characteristics can be overcome, thereby improving the reconstruction accuracy.

[0034] In this invention, after obtaining the guiding vector matrix Then, according to Determine the doppler unit of Spatial filtering weight vectors for the Doppler blur direction are used to zero out the blurred spectral components, thereby recovering the unblurred signal. For example, for a certain Doppler unit... To reconstruct its first A fuzzy component Then the spatial filtering weight vector needs to be set to the first...

The spatial filtering weight vectors for each Doppler blur direction are: , It is an integer. The value is , Represents a matrix Seeking pseudo-reversal, ,and, elements in , All other elements in the array are zero.

[0035] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned S106 is implemented through the following steps: S1061. Extract the echo signals of all channels for each distance block.
