Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of signal processing technology, and in particular to an intermediate frequency dynamic compression circuit for a linear frequency modulation detection device. Background Technology
[0002] The detection device is mainly used to detect information such as target distance and speed. It requires high ranging accuracy, fast response time and large dynamic range. It mainly consists of an antenna, transceiver components, video amplifier and digital signal processor.
[0003] For detection devices, the detection distance variation range is generally not less than 60 times, so the required dynamic range is 40*log10(60)=71dB. Considering the 30dB change in the RCS of the near-field target, the required dynamic range is at least 101dB. It is difficult for any ADC chip to directly meet this dynamic range requirement. Therefore, the dynamic range must be compressed on the receiving channel. A common dynamic compression method is to divide the detection channel into a far-target channel and a near-target channel, such as... Figure 5 As shown.
[0004] The scheme for setting up distant target channels and near target channels is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the transceiver components amplify, filter, and mix the echo signal before outputting it to a video amplifier. The video amplifier first splits the echo signal into two via a power divider circuit. One path enters the far-target channel, where the echo signal is first filtered by a bandpass filter. The lower cutoff frequency of the bandpass filter is set to the frequency corresponding to the near-range (typically 1m to 2m) echo signal, and the upper cutoff frequency is set to the frequency corresponding to the maximum reliable operating distance. After the bandpass filter, the echo signal is amplified. The other path enters the near-target channel, where the echo signal is first filtered by a low-pass filter. The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter is set to the frequency corresponding to the near-range (typically 1m to 2m) echo signal. After the low-pass filter, the echo signal is amplified. Although this scheme divides the echo signal into far-target and near-target channels, greatly improving the dynamic range of the detection device, it also adds a receiving channel, increasing the complexity of the hardware circuitry and software signal processing, significantly increasing the system hardware cost. Furthermore, the increased circuit complexity also increases the false alarm probability of the detection device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing dual-channel dynamic compression schemes, such as high hardware and software complexity, high system cost, and high false alarm probability. This invention provides an intermediate frequency dynamic compression circuit for linear frequency modulation (LFM) detection devices.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] This invention is based on the echo characteristics of linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals. When detecting near-range targets, the delay is short and the echo is strong, resulting in a low output intermediate frequency (IF) and high amplitude. When detecting far-range targets, the delay is long and the echo is weak, resulting in a high output IF and low amplitude. Therefore, only one filter circuit needs to be designed in the IF path to ensure low gain at low frequencies and high gain at high frequencies. This satisfies the target detection requirements while significantly compressing the dynamic range of the receiver's output IF signal. Figure 2 As shown.
[0021] The design principles of the intermediate frequency filter circuit are: the low-frequency cutoff frequency must ensure that the AD converter is not saturated, and the out-of-band suppression of the rising edge must ensure that the signal-to-noise ratio of the echo signal remains basically consistent within the effective distance range.
[0022] The low-frequency cutoff frequency of the intermediate frequency filter circuit is calculated as follows: S M +G TR +G S AD ... (1) S M AD -G TR -G S in: S M The echo power corresponding to the corner frequency; S AD This represents the maximum input power of the AD chip. G TR For the gain of the transceiver components; G S This is the gain of the video amplifier.
[0023] The maximum input signal power of the AD chip is: S AD =10+20*log10(0.5*V p-p )............ (2) in: V P-P This represents the maximum peak-to-peak value of the input signal to the AD chip.
[0024] The echo power S corresponding to the corner frequency can be calculated according to formula (1). M (P in formula (3)) r The distance R can be calculated from the echo power using formula (3): ……………………(3) in: : Indicates the transmission power; , : Indicates the gain of the transmitting and receiving antennas; : indicates RCS; : Indicates wavelength; L: represents system loss; : This refers to the detection distance.
[0025] The echo distance R corresponding to the maximum input signal power of the AD chip can be calculated using Formula 3. That is, the echo distance corresponding to the low-frequency cutoff frequency of the intermediate frequency filter circuit is the echo frequency corresponding to R.
[0026] The design principle for out-of-band rejection of the rising edge of the intermediate frequency filter circuit is as follows: relative to the low-frequency corner frequency of the filter circuit, for every doubling of the frequency, the out-of-band rejection should increase by 12dB according to the radar equation (40*log10(2f / f)=12dB). Figure 3 As shown.
[0027] This design not only greatly compresses the dynamic range, but also ensures that the signal-to-noise ratio of the echo signal remains basically consistent across the detection range, increasing the reliability of target detection.
[0028] The intermediate frequency (IF) dynamic compression circuit is an active high-pass filter circuit used to compress the dynamic range and ensure near-range dead zones. The subsequent stage is an LC low-pass filter used to further suppress ground clutter. The complete schematic diagram of the IF dynamic compression circuit of this invention is shown below.
