Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of target and environmental interference characteristics simulation, and particularly relates to a method for modeling and calculating dynamic wideband echoes of a chaff cloud. BACKGROUND
[0002] A chaff cloud is composed of a large number of chaff filaments, and interferes with radar detection by forming a large-area electromagnetic scatterer, thereby forming an electronic warfare interference means. The movement of the chaff cloud is a random dynamic diffusion process related to the projection direction, initial speed, wind speed, etc., and contains hundreds of thousands or even millions of chaff filaments, each of which changes position during the diffusion process. For a high-dynamic random chaff cloud, how to quickly and accurately calculate the wideband echo has become a research hotspot, and domestic and foreign experts and scholars have carried out a large amount of research, forming two simulation methods of Monte Carlo method and moment method, and promoting the development of electromagnetic scattering characteristics of chaff clouds.
[0003] However, how to improve the efficiency of the simulation of the wideband echo of the chaff cloud and promote the application of the chaff cloud in related fields is still a real challenge faced by experts and scholars today. At present, the common method is to optimize the existing Monte Carlo method or moment method, and develop a faster algorithm; another method is to use GPU hardware acceleration and distributed parallel computing acceleration. The above two methods have disadvantages, the first method cannot make the calculation efficiency decrease exponentially, and the second method is difficult to build a large parallel computing system. In the electromagnetic scattering modeling of the chaff cloud, whether the parallel strategy or the algorithm optimization is used to accelerate the scattering solution, the simulation efficiency is still slow and cannot meet the real-time requirements.
[0004] In addition, the movement modeling of the chaff cloud is usually based on the statistical movement law and does not consider the influence of the actual complex environment, for example, the average RCS (radar cross section) of the chaff is calculated, the scattering characteristics of individual chaff are lacking; or the RCS of the chaff cloud at the fixed position after the diffusion of the chaff is calculated, the individual differences of different chaff scattering and the scattering characteristics in the movement process of the chaff are lacking.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that mixes deterministic and statistical methods to efficiently and accurately calculate the movement process and wideband echo of the chaff cloud.

[0021] Echo refers to the part of the wave emitted by the transmitting source, which is reflected or scattered back and detected by the receiving device after encountering an object in the propagation path. In the present application, echo refers to the part of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the radar antenna, which is scattered back and detected by the receiving device after encountering the foil cloud cluster in the propagation path. The radar antenna in modern radar systems usually transmits a wideband electromagnetic wave signal, and the part of the wideband electromagnetic wave signal that is reflected back after encountering the target and still maintains or carries the original frequency range information is called wideband echo. The most important and most widely used form of wideband echo is wideband pulse echo.
[0022] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a foil cloud cluster dynamic wideband echo modeling and calculation method, which comprises the following steps: S1, establish a test data correction foil cloud movement model, specifically comprising the following steps: S1.1, the diffusion process of the foil cloud is divided into a rapid diffusion stage and a stable diffusion stage, Figure 2 is a force analysis diagram of the foil wire, according to Figure 2 the force analysis diagram, the foil movement equation is determined, the foil movement equation includes a rapid diffusion movement equation and a stable diffusion movement equation; In the rapid diffusion stage, since multiple foil wires have not yet completely dispersed, there are multiple adhesion bodies composed of multiple foil wires adhering together; an adhesion body acts as a whole in the air and is forced to move, and in this adhesion body, one of the foil wires collides with other foil wires during the movement process, such collision is random and short, and in the movement process, the collision force is equivalent to the mass of the foil wire. The rapid diffusion movement equation of the foil is: ; In the formula, and respectively represent the acceleration of the foil wire in the horizontal and vertical directions at a certain time; is the tangential force, is the normal force; is the inclination angle of the foil wire with the vertical direction; is the average equivalent mass corresponding to the collision force between any two foil wires, N is the adhesion number, that is, the number of foil wires contained in an adhesion body, is the equivalent mass corresponding to the collision force of a single foil wire with all other foil wires, Therefore is the horizontal component of the interaction force between a single foil wire and all other foil wires, is the vertical component of the interaction force between a single foil wire and all other foil wires; is the length of a single foil wire, is the cross-sectional radius of a single foil wire, is the acceleration of gravity, represents the difference between the density of the foil wire and the current air density in which the foil wire is located.
[0023] With the passage of time and air disturbance, the adhesion body will eventually completely disintegrate, and each foil wire becomes an independent movement unit, at which time it enters the stable diffusion stage, so the number factor N is no longer included in the stable diffusion movement equation; the stable diffusion movement equation is: .
[0024] S1.2, according to the diffusion image of the foil cloud taken by the high-speed camera, extract the contour and density data of the foil cloud.
[0025] The foil cloud cluster profile refers to the external boundary occupied by the entire foil cloud cluster in space at a certain moment, which is specifically represented by a series of discrete three-dimensional points, and the direction between adjacent two points has directionality, and the left side of the direction is the foil cloud cluster diffusion area, as shown in the following figure: Figure 3 The foil cloud cluster density refers to the number distribution of foil filaments in different regions inside the entire foil cloud cluster, which is specifically discretized by a cubic grid in the foil cloud cluster diffusion area, and the foil density data in the cubic grid is stored, that is, how many randomly moving foil filaments are stored in each cubic grid unit.
[0026] S1.3, according to the real profile and density data of the foil cloud cluster at different moments, correcting the foil motion equation to obtain a foil cloud cluster motion model.
[0027] Specifically, according to the foil motion equation (micro motion equation) of a single foil filament determined in step S1.1, the motion of thousands of foil filaments is simulated by computer to obtain the macro diffusion prediction of the entire foil cloud cluster, and the prediction result is compared with the real macro data (profile and density data) shot by the high-speed camera. If there is a difference, return to correct the parameters in the foil motion equation until the prediction result matches the real macro data; the corrected foil motion equation is the final foil cloud cluster motion model.
[0028] The foil cloud cluster motion model is no longer an ideal motion equation established according to the force condition, but a motion equation corrected according to the profile and density of the foil cloud cluster in the actual environment, which is closer to the actual environment.
[0029] S2, calculate the length proportion of the part of the foil filament irradiated by the electromagnetic wave in the foil cloud cluster as the echo amplitude proportion of the foil filament, specifically including the following steps: S2.1, at the calculation frame moment, using the corrected foil cloud cluster motion model, calculate the motion state of each foil filament at the current moment in the foil cloud cluster, the motion state at least includes the position and attitude of each foil filament in three-dimensional space; the calculation frame moment refers to a discrete, pre-set time point in computer simulation for updating and recording the motion state of the foil filament, the actual diffusion process of the foil cloud cluster is continuous, while in computer simulation, the continuous time axis is discretized into a plurality of time points.
[0030] S2.2, construct a dynamic BVH tree (Bounding Volume Hierarchy) of the foil cloud cluster, specifically, based on the BVH tree generated at the previous time step, and combined with the motion state of each foil filament at the current moment calculated in step S2.1, a bottom-up updating strategy is adopted to generate a dynamic BVH tree corresponding to the current moment; The BVH tree, full name bounding volume hierarchy or hierarchical bounding volume, is a tree data structure for efficient management and query of a large set of geometric objects in three-dimensional space; Each node in the BVH tree is composed of the bounding box of the foil filament corresponding to the node, and the calculation of the foil filament can be approximated as the calculation of the bounding box.
[0031] S2.3、For each foil filament contained in the dynamic BVH tree generated in step S2.2, in combination with the direction of the incident electromagnetic wave, the proportion of the illuminated part of the foil filament to the total length of the foil filament is calculated as the echo amplitude ratio of the foil filament by bisection, the echo amplitude ratio is a unitless ratio factor (correction factor), usually between 0 and 1, used to describe the ratio of the actual value of the echo amplitude to the ideal value of the echo amplitude; Specifically comprising the following steps: S2.3.1、Firstly, calculate whether the two ends and the midpoint of the foil filament are illuminated, if both are illuminated, it is considered that the foil filament is completely illuminated, and the echo amplitude ratio is 1; if both are blocked, it indicates that the foil filament is completely blocked, and the echo amplitude ratio is 0; S2.3.2、If one or two of the three points of the two ends and the midpoint of the foil filament are illuminated, it indicates that the foil filament is partially illuminated, then by repeatedly detecting the midpoint between the illuminated point and the adjacent blocked point, and according to the state (whether illuminated) of the midpoint, the search interval is gradually halved, until the illumination boundary is accurately located, and finally the length of the illuminated part of the foil filament is recorded.
[0032] S2.3.3、Calculate the ratio of the length of the illuminated part to the total length of the foil filament to determine the final echo amplitude ratio of the foil filament.
[0033] In the present application, the foil filament illuminated by the electromagnetic wave is no longer only judged whether it is illuminated, but the proportion of the length of the illuminated part to the total length is accurately calculated, and the proportion is used for subsequent calculation of the real value of the echo amplitude.
[0034] S3、Calculate the broadband echo of a pulse of the foil cloud cluster, specifically comprising the following steps: S3.1、Using a statistical method, pre-sample the broadband echo of the completely illuminated foil filament under different electromagnetic wave incident angles according to a specific sampling frequency, and store the broadband echo continuously indexed by the electromagnetic wave incident angle, so as to facilitate subsequent retrieval of the echo data according to the index; the echo data refers to the complete waveform, at least including echo amplitude data and echo phase data; Wherein, the scattering intensity of the completely illuminated foil filament at the center frequency point is taken as the echo amplitude of the foil filament, and the echo amplitude is also the ideal value of the echo amplitude of the partially illuminated foil filament under the same electromagnetic wave incident angle.
[0035] S3.2, for each foil filament in the dynamic BVH tree, according to the incident angle of the electromagnetic wave, index the known foil filament echo data, obtain the ideal value of the echo amplitude of the foil filament by the method of interpolation, and then calculate the actual value of the echo amplitude of the foil filament contribution to the total echo.
[0036] Specifically, assuming that the current incident angle of the electromagnetic wave is theta, and the two nearest integers adjacent to it are thetaN1 and thetaN2, and the wideband echoes corresponding to thetaN1 and thetaN2 are echo1 and echo2 respectively, then the wideband echo at the current angle theta is represented as: echo = (theta - thetaN1) x echo1 + (thetaN2 - theta) x echo2 Combined with the echo amplitude ratio calculated in step S2.3, the actual value of the echo amplitude of the foil filament is calculated, actual value of echo amplitude = echo amplitude ratio x ideal value of echo amplitude.
[0037] S3.3, combined with the transmission parameters and reception parameters of the radar pulse, correct the echo width and storage time, and coherently accumulate the contributions of all foil filaments to finally synthesize the total echo data of the complete foil cloud cluster in a pulse period.
[0038] S4, calculate the two-dimensional echo data of the foil cloud cluster, specifically including the following steps: S4.1, consider the influence of the antenna and the foil cloud cluster motion on the echo phase to correct the echo phase data. In a frame coherent processing time, both the antenna and the foil cloud cluster are in motion, but the motion of the foil cloud cluster itself is relatively slow, and the echo phase change caused by it can be ignored; while the motion of the antenna is the dominant factor leading to significant changes in the echo phase, and cannot be ignored, so only the antenna position at different transmission pulse moments is calculated.
[0039] S4.2, in a frame coherent processing time, the echo amplitude is approximately constant, while the echo phase will change greatly, therefore, the echo phase of the foil cloud cluster needs to be accurately calculated.
[0040] The method of accurately calculating the echo phase is to calculate the electromagnetic wave propagation path according to the antenna position and the foil filament position, so as to obtain accurate phase information.
[0041] S4.3, a frame coherent processing time contains several pulse signals, and the amplitude and phase information of the wideband echo in each pulse period are obtained in turn to form the two-dimensional echo data of the foil cloud cluster, and the data format is as shown in Figure 4 Specifically, in one frame coherent processing time, the radar antenna continuously transmits several pulses, and each received wideband echo is digitized and collected one by one, and the amplitude and phase information of each wideband echo is recorded to form a data matrix. The data matrix containing the dynamic change information of the wideband echo is the foil cloud cluster two-dimensional echo data, which is the basic data for a series of subsequent key signal processing algorithms.
[0042] In summary, the hybrid determination and statistical method of the patent uses the BVH tree in graphics to efficiently determine the occlusion in the complex cloud cluster, and combines the pre-calculated statistical echo data and the accurate Doppler phase calculation to generate two-dimensional wideband echo data that can reflect the dynamic and Doppler characteristics of the foil cloud cluster with extremely high calculation efficiency.

3. A frame of coherent processing contains several pulse signals. The amplitude and phase information of the broadband echo in each pulse period are obtained in sequence to form two-dimensional echo data of the foil cloud.
