Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the amplitude calibration technical field of many probe near-field scatterings imaging, in particular a kind of amplitude calibration method for the imaging of many probe near-field scatterings.
Background technology
Many probe near-field scattering imaging techniques have been avoided the long-time data acquisition that in scanning imagery, mechanical motion causes, improve the real-time of microwave and millimeter wave imaging, had a wide range of applications in fields such as safety check, nondestructive examination and target scattering characteristics distribution tests.Range migration algorithm (RMA) is imaging algorithm conventional in Synthetic Aperture Radar Technique, but when RMA algorithm is used for to the imaging of many probe systems, to the target imaging of identical scattering strength, in orientation upwards, the amplitude of imaging region center and marginal position picture differs larger, and imaging results can not correctly reflect that the scattering properties of target distributes.
Target object generally uses RCS (RCS) to carry out quantitative description to electromagnetic scattering power, microwave and millimeter wave imaging technique can represent intuitively with image the distribution situation of RCS scattering center in target area, it is the effective means of carrying out the stealthy test of objective body electromagnetism, particularly Near-Field Radar Imaging, in small area, can carry out system buildup, the imaging analysis in realize target region, in aspect widespread uses such as geography detection, safety inspection, detection through walls, nondestructive examinations.
Because the application such as safety check, detection through walls is higher to the requirement of real-time of imaging, the demand of many probe tests is also along with increase, many probe Near-Field Radar Imagings utilize multiple emitting antennas and multiple receiving antenna exactly, within the extremely short time, complete the electromagnetic scattering DATA REASONING to target area by switching over or waveform modulated, then utilize corresponding algorithm to carry out inverting to obtain the scattering picture of target area, also referred to as multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) imaging.Many probe Near-Field Radar Imagings do not need target area to carry out mechanical scanning, have avoided long data acquisition, for the real-time application of microwave and millimeter wave imaging provides solution.
Range migration algorithm (RMA) is the algorithms most in use in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging technique, due to traditional RMA algorithm based on be the image data of internal loopback in conjunction with mechanical scanning, while being applied to MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put) system, need to carry out single site equivalence, or carry out the separation of dual-mode antenna spectral domain, the phase differential that the former need to consider actual dual-mode antenna is different from equivalent single site transmitting-receiving phase place, and latter is without consideration.
RMA algorithm mostly adopts displaced phase center method in the application process of many probe imaging techniques at present, as the people such as Gregory L.Charvat have adopted the array format of equivalent uniform sampling point in " An Ultrawideband (UWB) Switched-Antenna-Array Radar Imaging System ", wherein consider phase alignment, utilize an elongated metallic rod to be positioned over array image-forming region, be equivalent to the scattering point of two-dimensional surface, by contrasting the different phase alignments that carry out of each channel measurement phase place and theoretical single site phase differential.The algorithm that the people such as Xiaodong Zhuge have adopted dual-mode antenna spectral domain to separate in " Three-Dimensional Near-Field MIMO Array Imaging Using Range Migration Techniques ", but its test target is all positioned over imaging region center, do not consider amplitude precision problem.
By analyzing domestic and international list of references and similar techniques, the calibration of the Near-Field Radar Imaging system of popping one's head in only adopts a shaft-like or spherical scatterer to calibrate mostly, or does not consider amplitude precision problem, does not calibrate.Adopt shaft-like or spherical scatterer can only carry out phase alignment, can eliminate the phase differential between actual dual-mode antenna phase differential and equivalent single site, but because calibrating device is equivalent to a scattering point, can not carry out amplitude calibration.
Therefore, there is defect in prior art, needs to improve.
