Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar data processing technology, and in particular relates to a high-precision target localization method for air-to-air radar based on ray model tracking. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, target location methods for air-to-air radar are mainly based on the 4 / 3 equivalent Earth curvature model. This model is derived from the global annual average atmospheric refraction gradient, also known as the standard atmospheric environment. Therefore, it is not applicable to non-standard atmospheric environments, such as evaporation waveguides commonly found on the sea surface, surface waveguides that occur with a certain probability on land, and suspended waveguide environments. In these waveguide environments, radar waves are affected by the atmospheric refractive index along their path, resulting in a refraction effect. Radar waves emitted at a specific elevation angle change the slant range, elevation angle, and altitude values ​​at various points along their path in the vertical plane, causing errors in the radar's measured target elevation angle and distance. The ray-based tracking method, however, can achieve high-precision target location by analyzing atmospheric measurement results, the average results for the region in that season, and the annual average results for that region.

[0003] There are two main solution methods for traditional ray tracing models. One is the high elevation angle integral method, which is only applicable to high elevation angle scenarios and fails in low elevation angle scenarios, making it difficult to apply to atmospheric waveguide scenarios. The other is the low elevation angle Taylor second-order expansion method. Because the derivation process uses the second-order Taylor approximation of the nonlinear cosine and tangent functions, it is only applicable to low elevation angle scenarios. Its error increases significantly with the increase of elevation angle. In addition, it is necessary to determine whether the outgoing ray is opposite to the incident ray during the ray stepping iteration process, so as to select the sign of the square root, which increases the complexity of the solution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-precision target localization method for air radar based on ray model tracking, which effectively solves the problem of accuracy and efficiency in ray trajectory calculation under complex atmospheric conditions and improves the accuracy and real-time performance of target localization at sea level.

[0005] To achieve the objective of this invention, a high-precision target localization method for air-to-air radar based on ray-model tracking is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Collect the front and rear elevation angles of electromagnetic wave rays incident on the layered interface and their corresponding corrected refractive index. Based on Snell's law of the spherical layered atmosphere and the partial derivative of the refractive index with respect to the elevation angle of the rays, the dominant model of electromagnetic wave ray trajectory propagation is obtained through the chain rule.

[0007] Step 2: Based on the electromagnetic wave trajectory model, obtain the relationship conditions between the propagation distance increment and the elevation angle increment, and between the propagation distance increment and the ray height increment during the ray propagation process;

[0008] Step 3: Construct an iterative step model of the ray trajectory based on the aforementioned relationship conditions, determine the ray height and elevation angle, and thus obtain a regularized grid model to calculate the discrete ray elevation angle, target height, and target slant distance;

[0009] Step 4: Calculate the discrete ray elevation angle, target height, and target slant range based on the regularized mesh model. Then, perform linear interpolation on the slant range to obtain continuous curves showing the change of target distance and target height with slant range at a given ray elevation angle.

[0010] Step 5: Based on the radar's location, establish a local northeast-sky rectangular coordinate system, obtain the radar target's latitude and longitude, and convert it into its position in the geodetic coordinate system. Rotate the northeast-sky rectangular coordinate system twice to obtain the final target's latitude and longitude and its positive coordinate transformation model.

[0011] Step 6: Based on the radar station location and the latitude and longitude of the final target, the azimuth and distance of the target are determined by an inverse rotation process, and then the inverse coordinate transformation model is obtained by two coordinate system rotations.

[0012] Step 7: Based on the forward / reverse coordinate transformation model, the forward and reverse coordinate transformation model is accelerated by using the pre-calculated sine and cosine relationship of the radar station for positioning of sea-level targets.

[0013] Step 8: Based on the calculated curves of the continuous target ball distance and target height variation with slant distance at the given ray elevation angle, the target receiving elevation angle is obtained by performing a nearest neighbor query on the continuous target height at the given ray elevation angle, and the final target slant distance is obtained by performing linear interpolation on the ball distance.

[0014] A computer program product includes computer program instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to perform the aforementioned high-precision target positioning method for air-to-surface radar.

[0015] The significant advancement of this invention compared to existing technologies lies in:

[0016] (1) Improved computational efficiency: By combining a regularized grid model with linear interpolation, the parameters of continuous rays are discretized, reducing the amount of real-time computation; the sine and cosine relationships of coordinate system transformation are pre-stored, accelerating the forward and reverse coordinate transformation process.

[0017] (2) Positioning accuracy optimization: Based on the iterative stepping of the spherical layered atmospheric model, the refraction effect of the ray trajectory is accurately described; through nearest neighbor query and spherical distance interpolation, the matching error between elevation angle and slant distance is reduced.

[0018] (3) Strong engineering applicability: The forward / reverse coordinate transformation model is compatible with the dynamic positioning requirements of the radar station and the target, and supports highly robust target tracking in complex sea environments.

[0019] (5) Resource saving: Discretization modeling and pre-computation strategies reduce hardware computing power requirements and are suitable for embedded systems and real-time processing scenarios.

Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the calculation results for standard refraction (-40 N / km), critical refraction (-157 N / km), and trapped refraction (-450 N / km) scenarios are presented. The results show that as the atmospheric refractive index gradient decreases, electromagnetic rays gradually bend towards the sea surface. For standard refraction, target spatial position correction is required when the target elevation angle is below 5°, with the difference in elevation angle not exceeding 0.5° compared to unrefractive propagation. For the critical refraction scenario frequently occurring at the sea surface, correction is required when the target elevation angle is below 15°, with the difference reaching 1.5°. Notably, when the incident angle of the electromagnetic ray is 0°, the electromagnetic wave propagates at the same altitude as the sea surface. When significant trapped refraction occurs, correction is required when the target elevation angle is below 20°, with the difference approaching 2°. The low-altitude ray trajectory exhibits multipath interference of the incident wave due to the trapping effect, which further complicates the multipath interference effect with the scattered waves from the sea surface.

[0106] Error analysis was conducted using a critical refraction scenario, and the errors of the proposed method and the traditional ray method as a function of elevation angle were presented. The results show that the error of the traditional ray method increases significantly with elevation angle, while the error of the proposed method hardly increases with elevation angle, thus having a wider range of applicability. The effectiveness of the invention was verified by comparing height error, elevation angle error, and slant distance error.
