Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing, and particularly relates to a remote target speed correction method based on a sawtooth LFMCW waveform system speed measurement radar.
Background
Linear Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (LFMCW) radar has high range resolution and range accuracy, and has more obvious advantages in low range blind area than pulse system radar.
The saw-toothed LFMCW waveform is shown in fig. 1 below.
The LFMCW radar transmit signal model may be expressed as:
s 1 (t)=cos(2πf 0 t+πμt 2 ),0≤t≤T e (1)
wherein μ = B/T e Mu is LFM slope, B is bandwidth, T e Frequency modulation period is the sweep frequency period; f. of 0 Is the start frequency (carrier frequency) of the chirp.
Assuming that there is a point scatterer at a distance R, the radar receives its echo signal as:
s r (t)=acos[2πf 0 (t-Δτ)+πμ(t-Δτ) 2 ],0≤t-Δτ≤T e (2)
in the formula, a is a signal amplitude, which is related to a target radar scattering cross section (RCS), a distance and an antenna gain; Δ τ =2R/c is the time delay and c is the speed of light.
The reference signal input by the mixer is:
s ref (t)=cos(2πf r0 +πμt 2 ),0≤t≤T e (3)
in the formula, f r0 For the start frequency of the reference signal LFM, let f be r0 =f 0 。
The complex signal model after the frequency mixing and the low-pass filtering of the received signal and the reference signal is as follows:
the instantaneous frequency of the signal is:
the above equation shows that the range of the target is proportional to the instantaneous frequency. So that the received signal is sampled and the sample sequence is FFT-ed at frequency f i The peak position of (a) corresponds to a target distance of
In the actual LFMCW system radar, fast time dimension FFT is carried out in a frequency sweep section, and the target distance is calculated by the frequency peak value according to the formula (6). And performing slow time dimension FFT between every two frequency scanning bands, wherein the frequency peak value corresponds to the target speed.
However, when the sawtooth LFMCW waveform is used for speed measurement, the remote target causes carrier frequency change, which further affects the calculation result of the remote target, so that the method cannot be ignored, and the detected speed value needs to be corrected to improve the calculation accuracy.

fast time dimension FFT measures the target distance;
obtaining Doppler frequency shift and long-distance echo frequency shift by slow time dimension FFT;
and correcting the carrier frequency to obtain the speed value of the remote target.
in the formula: f. of i For frequency, c is the speed of light, μ is the LFM slope, μ = B/T e B is bandwidth of frequency modulation, T e Is a frequency modulation period.
Further, the corrected target speed value is
In the formula: f. of i Is a frequency f o Is the original carrier frequency, c is the speed of light, μ is the LFM slope, μ = B/T e B is bandwidth of frequency modulation, T e For frequency-modulated period, R 0 Is the target distance.

table 1 simulation program input parameters
Description of parameters | Unit | State of state | Simulation parameter |
Frequency modulation period T e | S | Input the method | 1e-3 |
Bandwidth B of frequency modulation | Hz | Input the method | 1e8 |
Target distance R 0 | m | Input the method | [1.1e6,5e3,2.5e4] |

Fast time dimension FFT point number Nfft 2 | Input device | 4096 | |

As shown in FIG. 2, the simulation results of the three target range gates can be judged to be [2732,3551,1367] in sequence according to the echo signal-to-noise ratio, and the real distances are [1.1e6,5e3,2.5e4].
Firstly, whether the simulation is correct is verified: unambiguous distance R u Namely:
R u =c*T e /2 (9)
wherein, T e The frequency modulation period, c is the speed of light.
Distance after blur R 0 Namely:
wherein f is s For fast time dimension sampling rate, nfft2 is the fast time dimension FFT point number. The three target deblurring back range gates are [2731.8,3551,1366.2 ]]。
Therefore, the simulation result of the range gate is consistent with the calculation result, the simulation result is correct, and the simulation data is available.
The three target speed dimension simulation results are [28,31,14] in sequence, and the real speed is [23,7,33].
Unambiguous velocity V u Namely:
wherein f is 0 As carrier frequency, velocity after blurring V 0 Namely:
wherein, nfft1 is the number of FFT points in the slow time dimension. Carrier frequency in accordance with f 0 The results of the three targets after removing the non-fuzzy speed are calculated to be 35.13,30.86 and 13.8]. It can be seen that the target is in close range (about kilometer), and the speed is according to the carrier frequency f 0 The calculation result is basically the same as the simulation value, but the far-distance echo speed and the simulation value are greatly different.
The method of the invention gives out the reason and the solution that the difference between the remote echo speed and the simulation value is large in principle. As can be seen from the previous formula, the slow time dimension echo signal is actually linear frequency modulation, the frequency obtained by actual FFT calculation is broadband, and the center frequency is
The carrier frequency after correction is f 0 ', i.e.:
the carrier frequency is calculated by adopting the formula, and the results of three targets without fuzzy speed are obtained as 27.4274,30.86 and 13.8, which are basically consistent with the simulation result.
The method can correct the error of the LFMCW speed measurement algorithm of the long-distance echo caused by carrier frequency change, and has important application prospect in practical engineering.
