Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of radar transmitting modulation waveform generation, and particularly relates to an adjustable radar transmitting modulation waveform circuit. Background Technique

[0002] The radar transmitting modulation waveform is an important part of radar signal processing. It determines the characteristics of the radar transmitting signal, such as frequency, phase, amplitude, etc. These characteristics are crucial for radar target detection, tracking, and recognition. The modulation methods of radar transmitting waves include, but are not limited to, amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM, such as linear frequency modulation LFM), phase modulation (PM), and pulse width modulation (PWM), etc.

[0003] The R2R resistor network (R-2R Ladder Network) is usually associated with a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and is used to convert digital signals into analog signals. However, in the direct application of radar transmitting modulation waveforms, the R2R resistor network does not directly provide the modulation waveforms required for radar transmission. Instead, it is more of an implementation method of the DAC and is used to generate or adjust the analog signals that may be required inside the radar system. Among them, the cost of the DAC module is relatively high, and the production cost is large. In addition, the traditional R2R resistor network needs to modify the resistor value to change the reference voltage. Or use a PWM signal to generate a square wave waveform through a filter circuit to provide a waveform for radar transmitting modulation. However, for the PWM filter circuit to output a square wave with adjustable high and low levels, when modifying the PWM waveform frequency, it is necessary to modify the resistor value and capacitor value, and the flexibility of the overall circuit is relatively poor. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an adjustable radar transmitting modulation waveform circuit, aiming to improve the problems of high cost caused by using a relatively expensive DAC module; and the need to modify the resistor value to change the reference voltage when using a traditional R2R resistor network; and the relatively poor flexibility of the overall circuit when using a PWM filter circuit to output a square wave with adjustable high and low levels and modifying the PWM waveform frequency requires modifying the resistor value and capacitor value.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An adjustable radar transmitting modulation waveform circuit includes a single-chip microcomputer module, a PWM filter module, and an R2R resistor module;

[0007] The first output end and the second output end of the single-chip microcomputer module are respectively electrically connected to the input ends of the PWM filter module and the R2R resistor module. The output end of the PWM filter module is electrically connected to the R2R resistor module. The output end of the R2R resistor module outputs a square wave signal VT.

[0008] The single-chip microcomputer module outputs two PWM waveform signals, which are respectively output to the PWM filtering module and the R2R resistor module. The PWM filtering module modifies the duty cycle of the PWM waveform signal, and the R2R resistor module modifies the frequency of the PWM waveform signal.

[0009] Further, the PWM filtering module includes a first filtering circuit and a second filtering circuit, and the first filtering circuit and the second filtering circuit are connected in series between the first output end of the single-chip microcomputer module and the R2R resistor module.

[0010] Further, the first filtering circuit includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1;

[0011] One end of the resistor R1 is electrically connected to the first output end of the single-chip microcomputer module, the other end of the resistor R1 is electrically connected to one end of the capacitor C1 and the input end of the second filtering circuit, and the other end of the capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0012] Further, the second filtering circuit includes a resistor R2 and a capacitor C2;

[0013] One end of the resistor R2 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor R1, the other end of the resistor R2 is electrically connected to one end of the capacitor C2 and the R2R resistor module, and the other end of the capacitor C2 is grounded.

[0014] Further, the R2R resistor module includes a resistor R3, a resistor R4, and a resistor R5;

[0015] One end of the resistor R4 is electrically connected to the second output end of the single-chip microcomputer module, the other end of the resistor R4 is electrically connected to one end of the resistor R3 and one end of the resistor R5, and is used as an output end to output a square wave signal VT;

[0016] The other end of the resistor R3 is electrically connected to the output end of the PWM filtering module, and the other end of the resistor R5 is grounded.

[0017] Further, both the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 are adjustable resistors, and both the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 are adjustable capacitors.

[0018] Further, the resistor R3, the resistor R4, and the resistor R5 are all adjustable resistors.

[0019] After adopting the above technical solution, compared with the background technology, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] The single-chip microcomputer module outputs two PWM waveform signals, which are respectively output to the PWM filtering module and the R2R resistor module. The PWM filtering module modifies the duty cycle of the PWM waveform signal and modifies the reference voltage of the square-wave signal VT; the R2R resistor module modifies the frequency of the PWM waveform signal and modifies the frequency of the square-wave chip VT. Only by changing the duty cycle and frequency of the two PWM signals, the square-wave parameters output by VT can be controlled without modifying the resistance value and capacitance value, greatly improving the flexibility of the overall circuit, avoiding the use of the DAC module, with a simple overall circuit structure and effectively reducing costs.
