A charged
small target detection and positioning method based on double-sphere differential array, when the flying
small target carries
electric charge due to friction, contact separation, air action or environmental
electric field induction during movement, different induced charge changes are generated on the detection
electrode and
reference electrode of each double-sphere differential electrostatic sensor when passing through the detection area, after current-
voltage conversion,
differential amplification, filtering and synchronous acquisition, multi-channel differential electrostatic response signals are obtained. Based on the calibration correction mirror model, combined with
multiple sensor observations, a variable-width sliding window electrostatic
distortion weighted nonlinear target detection
algorithm is used to solve the target position and charged quantity, and through sliding window trajectory fitting, the target velocity, incident direction and motion trajectory are obtained, realizing the non-contact
passive detection and positioning of the charged
small target. The
sensor array can use a
system composed of a double-sphere differential electrostatic
sensor array, a front-end
signal conditioning unit, a synchronous acquisition unit, a
data transmission unit and a parameter solving unit.
