Yet lightning is the spontaneous phenomenon of a kind of moment, and the interval in lightning between the different frequency radiation source is very short, can reach several microseconds.Can point to same radiation source for the data that make a plurality of websites, need the trace routine high precision synchronous of each observation station; Simultaneously, in order from each group angle, to calculate the volume coordinate of radiation source, need design that rational location algorithm is arranged.
The integrated and data acquisition of hardware to single station system
List station system is the least unit of whole 3 D positioning system.Total system can be divided into 4 modules: broadband coherent signal acquisition module 4, and fast 6-1, slow 6-2 electric field change antenna (being called for short fast, slow antenna) acquisition module 6, clock module 7 and computing machine 5 control ends, the composition frame chart of system is as shown in Figure 2.
Broadband interference signal acquisition module 4 is mainly used in the record of realizing broadband lightning radiation signal, and its working method is similar with interferometer system in the past.4 broadband interferometer antenna 4-1, response band 0~300MHz.Antenna is continued to use plate aerial, is used to receive the high frequency radiation signal of lightning.Utilize 4 identical concentric cable to link to each other with a four-way high-speed figure storage oscilloscope 4-3 for 25MHz Hi-pass filter 4-2 by low-end cut-off frequency.Described oscillograph 4-3 adopts unique " limiting triggering mode (Qualify trigger mode) " to reduce false triggering: when after the external trigger in limiting time and internal trigger condition first section lightning radiation signal of oscillograph 4-3 opening entry when satisfying simultaneously, and the triggering of back segment is only by the internal trigger conditional decision.
Hurry up, slow aerial signal acquisition module 6 is used for synchronous recording electric field change curve.Fast 6-1, slow 6-2 antenna (electric field change instrument) can be surveyed size and the polarity that lightning causes that ground electric field changes from different time scales, time constant is respectively 2ms and 6s, frequency response range is respectively 1kHz~5MHz and 10Hz~2MHz, and out-put dynamic range is ± 10V.The data collecting card PCI 5-1 of speed aerial signal by being connected with computing machine gathers the detectable signal that fast, slow antenna receives.
Clock module 7 is used for providing the precise time benchmark to system.In the present embodiment, adopt HJ5432B clock high stability crystal oscillator, this module can provide 1 the tunnel to trigger input port and mark output serial ports.Split-second precision when mark output serial ports takes place for the rising edge (Transistor-Transistor Logic level) that triggers the input port stabs information, precision 30ns (RMS).In addition, the stable output signal of output 10MHz sine wave is put forward 4-3 frequency for reference to oscillograph, and to the rough correcting delay signal of computing machine 5.
For realizing the collaborative work of total system, need control program reasonable in design and trigger flow process.In Fig. 2, solid line is a data stream, and dotted line represents to trigger stream.Wherein, one road signal of fast 6-1 antenna inserts the auxiliary input end (AUX IN) of oscillograph 4-3 and imports as external trigger, the signal of broadband interferometer antenna 4-1 then is used as internal trigger, like this, when satisfying " limit and trigger " condition of oscillograph 4-3, trigger first section lightning radiation signal of opening entry as oscillograph 4-3, auxiliary output terminal (AUX OUT) the outputting standard trigger pip of while oscillograph 4-3, trigger PCI capture card 5-1 and clock module 7 on the computing machine simultaneously, PCI capture card 5-1 on the computing machine detects opening entry after the external trigger, the split-second precision that clock module 7 then produces this trigger pip stabs information 7-2, is gathered by computing machine 5 by serial ports.

The location algorithm of three-dimensional lightning radiation source
In the present invention, after a plurality of websites collect synchronous observation signal, on each single station, utilize the derivation algorithm of former broadband interferometer, just can obtain position angle, the elevation angle time series of one group of radiation source separately.Because the geographical environment that each station is positioned at, all inequality with the distance of lightning radiation source, therefore, each website has nothing in common with each other to distance, the position angle of radiation source.This just needs Data Matching algorithm reasonable in design to seek the corresponding mutually radiant in each station, and then finds the solution the three-dimensional coordinate of radiation source by the three-dimensional localization algorithm.In practical operation, need both cooperatively interacting, to find best radiation source positions.At last, in order to guarantee alignment quality, need the rationality of positioning result be made an estimate.
Field test process below in conjunction with a summer describes working condition of the present invention in detail
1, the laying of website
According to the minimum requirement of three-dimensional localization, lay two website A, B.As shown in Figure 7, at a distance of 8.15km, sea level elevation is respectively 37m and 74m between the two measurement websites.Respectively lay 4 broadband interferometer antennas in each website, be positioned at foursquare four summits, by the 1-4 numbering, short base length is respectively 10m and 15m according to clockwise.The baseline of 1-4 antenna all points to positive north.In addition, each website respectively has the fast 6-1 of a cover, slow 6-2 electric field change instrument, is used for the electric field change of this website of simultaneous observation.
2, acquisition parameter setting
Oscillograph 4-3 adopts the 7100A of U.S. power section.The bandwidth of oscillograph 4-3 is 1GHz, resolution 8bit, and 50 Ω are selected in input impedance, the storage space of the built-in 8M of every passage, sampling rate is set to 1GS/s.For effectively utilizing storage space, the sampling pattern of " segmentation collection " that the employing oscillograph provides as shown in Figure 3, only just can trigger a segment record when signal satisfies given threshold value.Preset 4000 sections, every section 2K sampled point, every section keeps 20% pre-triggering, and intersegmental " dead time (dead time) " is in 1 microsecond.It is 300ms that adjacent two intersegmental largest intervals are set, the overtime radiation source end of record (EOR) that then makes this time lightning.
Capture card 5-1 adopts the external trigger pattern, and two passages are gathered fast 6-1, slow 6-2 electric field change antenna respectively, and sampling rate is preset as 1MS/s, and a sampling time 1s triggers 20% in advance.
Other Instruments connects with reference to accompanying drawing 2.Open each instrument power source, afterwards, click acquisition software " exploitation truck ", " driving oscillograph ", " opening COM " successively, obtain connection.Treat separately pilot lamp turn green after, click " beginning to gather ", system enters automatic acquisition phase.In addition, the acquisition parameter of the various parameter regulation collecting devices in the panel can be passed through to change, and manually record and self registering working method can be selected.After gathering end, click " stopping to gather " and stop gatherer process, point " withdraws from " and withdraws from acquisition system.
3, two station three-dimensional localization
Be example with this pair station system below, analyze crossing and matching algorithm of two station radiation sources.
1), two stations algorithm that crosses
Suppose to have calculated a prescription parallactic angle and the elevation angle respectively, need algorithm reasonable in design to find the solution the three-dimensional coordinate of radiation source, to reduce positioning error as much as possible with respect to our station by the data that two stations A, B gather.The present invention uses for reference the three-dimensional coordinate that two transit baseline wind observation algorithms (existing known technology) are found the solution radiation source, now algorithm principle is summarized as follows:
As shown in Figure 5, set up coordinate system, getting station A is true origin, and AB is projected as the y axle on surface level, and the position angle at two stations is 0 ° with the forward of y axle all, and clockwise direction increases, and the forward of x axle points to 90 °, and the z axle vertically points to zenith.AD, BC are respectively two rays along position angle, two stations, the elevation angle, and CD is the common vertical line of different surface beeline AD and BC.Then the radiation source maximum possible is positioned at certain the some P place on the CD, and the position of P point in line segment CD is relevant with the length of AD, BC, and length is more little, and corresponding reliability is high more, like this, according to Fig. 5, utilizes the space vector relation, just can obtain the three-dimensional coordinate that P is ordered.The P point is just more near this end, thereby satisfies
In addition, by the length of common vertical line CD, can reflect the error size after each three-dimensional localization, this coupling and fail-safe analysis for data is very meaningful.
2), radiant matching algorithm
Matching algorithm is mainly according to temporal information, the position that obtains according to the location after the coupling and the mistiming of match point are judged the correctness of coupling, in-plant should the generation earlier, if same point has a plurality of combination Satisfying Matching Conditions, choose the less combination of error, after the coupling, matched line can not intersect.
As shown in Figure 6, t is a time shaft, and each stain on it is represented the position of radiant on time shaft that each website obtains.To seek the corresponding point at A station and B station now.Suppose that it is 0 this point that the B station has matched sequence number, maximum time difference Δ t_max that allow according to two stations at first, 0~4 that establishes the A station all meets the requirements.At this moment, respectively these 5 combinations are obtained the estimation space position of radiation source with the described method of 3.1 joints, again by the range difference at radiation source to two station and the anti-correctness that pushes away coupling of relation of the mistiming that receives, if 0~3 all satisfies correctness condition, the coupling 0-0 that then chooses the error minimum is as optimum matching.
In addition, in matching process, according to the time order and function relation, matched line can not intersect.If obtained one group of point of crossing matched line, as shown in phantom in FIG., because the point 3 at A station is early than point 4, the point 2 at B station is early than point 3, if so think the point 3 and the B website 3 corresponding same radiation sources at A station, from the time order and function relation, it is a radiation source that the point 4 at the point 2 at A station and B station just can not mate.At this moment, need remove wherein one group according to both errors.
3), quality control
In order to make the radiant position that obtains reliable, also need further to do quality control.
Because system has the high accuracy clock subsystem, when each radiation source record, all can write down high-precision triggering constantly.As if the three-dimensional coordinate that has obtained the corresponding same radiation sources in two stations by above algorithm, then the range difference of two websites of this radiation source distance is also just definite, thereby the mistiming also just is easy to obtain.The mistiming of the radiant separately of the mistiming that obtains thus and two stations system clocks record relatively, if differ too big, then think this time locate unreasonable, thereby should reject.
In addition, according to the existing understanding of forefathers to lightning channel, the position of radiation source is generally zero in tens kms, if fragmentary radiation source exceeded this zone, think unreasonable being rejected equally.
Above algorithm has constituted the three-dimensional localization handling procedure, and this program can be finished the three-dimensional localization and the demonstration of lightning radiation source automatically.
The advantage of present embodiment and being, owing to the invention provides a kind of with the system of interferometric method to the lightning radiation source three-dimensional localization, simultaneous observation by a plurality of websites, the three-dimensional localization of realization lightning radiation source that can be real, the detailed three-dimensional structure that cloud dodges and ground sudden strain of a muscle passage develops can be described by this system, can be used for regional lightning monitoring and early warning.Simultaneously, this system can obtain the broader frequency spectrum and fast, the slow electric field change information of lightning channel development synchronously, in conjunction with the three-dimensional localization result, can provide abundant data for the discussion of the physical mechanism of lightning discharge process, the research of thunder and lightning physics.
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the technology of the present invention principle; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
