Embodiment
Key of the present invention is to utilize the time-frequency form of simple signal after linear frequency modulated(FM) radar receiver is handled to extract the amplitude response of each antenna, and the instantaneous amplitude on each antenna of radar is obtained by the average time-frequency distributions of remote section echoed signal; Each antenna is corresponding one by one with the platform instantaneous azimuth to the instantaneous amplitude ratio of a certain reference antenna, obtain each antenna relative direction figure.
Fig. 2 is the time frequency distribution map of the typical single-frequency beacon signal of a width of cloth, as seen from the figure two of beacon signal tangible time-frequency ridges.The instantaneous amplitude of signal can obtain by time-frequency distributions, tries to achieve the instantaneous amplitude ratio of each antenna with respect to reference antenna, and with corresponding one by one by the orientation of GPS record, can obtain relative direction figure.Especially, can provide a larger distance section, make not contain sea echo signal on this distance segment, the beacon time-frequency distributions on this distance segment is averaged by rational radar parameter design, can be in the hope of more accurate relative direction figure.Concrete directional diagram correct operation is multiply by relative direction figure by each the antenna response vector on the position angle of beacon motion scanning, to replace desirable array manifold to carry out Estimation of Spatial Spectrum with this and get final product.
For the present invention is described better, below the principle of work of linear frequency modulation system higher-frequency radar, the spectrum signature and the relative direction figure correction principle of single-frequency beacon are simply introduced.
The principle of work block diagram of high-frequency ground wave radar as shown in Figure 1.Radar adopts the linear frequency modulation system, in each frequency sweep cycle to demodulation after the signal discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of carrying out low-pass filtering, sampling and fast time domain obtain the distance spectrum of this frequency sweep cycle, wherein each spectrum is o'clock corresponding to a spectrum value sample on the distance element, in time a plurality of distance spectrum sequences are carried out slow time domain discrete Fourier transform at the coherent accumulation of being made up of a plurality of frequency sweep cycles and obtain distance-Doppler's two-dimensional spectrum (as shown in Figure 1, wherein 1 is receiving antenna, 2 is local oscillation signal, 3 for separating range conversion, 4 is Doppler-shift, and 5 is the dimensional orientation conversion).Distance-doppler spectral by signal on a plurality of receiving antenna passages just can extract extra large attitude information and moving target information.
Linear FM radar transmit and local oscillation signal can be expressed as
g ( t ) = e j 2 &pi; ( f 0 t + 1 2 kt 2 ) , - T / 2 &le; t < T / 2 - - - ( 1 )
F wherein 0, k and T be respectively radar center frequency, chirp slope and frequency sweep cycle, t is fast time variable.
Analyze the spectrum form of simple signal after higher-frequency radar receives also conversion below.N (n=0 ..., N-1) in the individual frequency sweep cycle, simple signal can be expressed as
s I(t′)=acos[2πf It′+ I+ D(t′)], (2)
Wherein t '=nT+t is common (entirely) time variable, a, f IAnd  IBe respectively amplitude, frequency and first phase,  D(t ') is the additional doppler phase that the platform motion of beacon place causes.Suppose that the platform radial velocity is v (t '), then has
Figure A20071005120700052
Mixing output undesired signal is s (t ')=s I(t ') g* (t).The interior distance spectrum of n frequency sweep cycle that forms by baseband low pass filters H (f) back is
S n(f)=F[s(t′)]H(f)=F[s I(t′)g*(t)]H(f), (4)
F[wherein] Fourier transform of expression t when fast, subscript " expression frequency sweep cycle sequence number.
Have by formula (2)
s I(t′)=s I(t)e j[2πfInT+(t′)]≈s I(t)e j[2πfInT+D(nT)]
(5)
Here ignored the phase change value that in a frequency sweep cycle, causes by the beacon motion.So the distance spectrum of single-frequency beacon is
S n(f)=F[s I(t′)g*(t)]H(f)={F[s I(t)g*(t)]H(f)}e j[2πfIn7+I)(nT)]
=S 0(f)e j[2πfInT+I(nT)].
(6)
This shows the characteristic of motion single-frequency beacon distance spectrum, it is a time varying frequency sinusoidal signal in slow time domain (is variable with n), thereby becomes the harmonic spectrum form when presenting simple component in the time-frequency combination territory, and this form and range-independence.When the single-frequency beacon is static, on distance-doppler spectral, be rendered as two crestal lines that are parallel to distance axis about the zero-frequency symmetry, its frequency location is ± f I), wherein
f D = mod ( f I , f r ) , mod ( f I , f r ) &le; f r / 2 mod ( f I , f r ) - f r , mod ( f I , f r ) > f r / 2 - - - ( 7 )
F wherein r=1/T is the pulse repetition rate of radar.And when platform relative radar in single-frequency beacon place had motion, the instantaneous frequency of beacon signal was
f D(n)=±f D(0)+v(n)f I/c·(8)
Two crestal lines will be to same direction shifted by delta f=v (n) f constantly at n I/ c.
The slow time-domain signal of gathering on each antenna is carried out time frequency analysis, can obtain the instantaneous frequency and the instantaneous amplitude of beacon signal, it with corresponding by the transient bearing of the GPS acquisition of carrying on the beacon platform, can be obtained the transient response value of each antenna.But, comprised also in this response that the signal source that is caused by beacon antenna swing rises and falls and wave path in the effects such as fluctuating that produce, therefore more rational directional diagram bearing calibration is to adopt relative direction figure to proofread and correct, and also only need measure the relative direction figure of each antenna in the reality.It should be noted that the selection of single-frequency beacon frequency here should guarantee that mixer output signal can pass through low-pass filter, generally can be chosen as near the frequency in the center of frequently sweeping.
