Based on the space-time bidimensional microwave staring imaging method of radiation field and association process unit at random, have the actinal surface field of extraordinary random distribution characteristic by structure, form the space radiation field at random that meets specific (special) requirements through propagating in beam coverage area.This moment, aerial radiation was not simple point source radiation, but leggy center radiation, and radiation signal is the random signal through complex modulation, this radiation field has space-time bidimensional random character: in the beam coverage area, radiation field on any two resolution elements all has irrelevant feature, thereby makes different resolution elements show complicated otherness distribution characteristics; Has irrelevant feature equally between the different moment radiation field, this feature has guaranteed on the target object plane the different irradiations that can be subjected to having the radiation field of different otherness distribution characteristicss constantly, and space-time bidimensional random character has constituted the adequate condition of the spatial resolution that realizes surmounting the aperture.When space-time bidimensional when radiation field and target interact at random, target modulation this radiation field with otherness distribution characteristics, therefore not only comprised target scattering characteristics in the scattered field, carried space-time two-dimension radiation field information at random simultaneously, be scattered field when being constant target scattering characteristics to the time radiation field at random that becomes spatial modulation, but make the interior scattered field of wave beam contain the identification space distribution information of target, this information is with the radiation field abundant information degree variation that is directly proportional at random of space-time bidimensional, and this is the core concept that realizes surmounting the spatial resolution of antenna aperture.At this space-time bidimensional at random under the radiation field effect, scattered information receives and treatment technology adopts the related information disposal route of the space-time bidimensional random field that adapts with it, extraction and the decoupling zero of realization to lying in target information in the scattered field.Under equal observation condition, increase along with the irradiation number of times, it is the increase of staring imaging time, but the target identification information that is comprised in the scattered field also increases thereupon, repeatedly the fusion of related information has brought the lifting of spatial resolution, and it provides necessary condition for realizing the spatial resolution that surmounts antenna aperture.
As embodiments of the invention, concrete imaging scene as shown in Figure 1.Radiation field has guaranteed the otherness of association process unit of the different moment used " sample " at random, increases the sampling sample number by the gaze duration accumulation and obtains the high-resolution inversion image.The main body of system constitute comprise with radiation source unit at random be core transmitter module, be the signal processing module of core, be the receiver module of core with the association process unit with radiation field calculation unit.System is by aforementioned body module and corresponding supplementary module, and for example platform control, range observation, image demonstration etc. constitute imaging system jointly.The output terminal of described radiation source unit at random links to each other with the input end of radiation field calculation unit, the output terminal of described radiation field calculation unit links to each other with an input end of association process unit, the output scatter echo of described receiver module links to each other with another input end of association process unit module, and the output terminal of described association process unit module links to each other with image display.The block diagram that system body constitutes as shown in Figure 2.
In order to realize the present invention's purpose, the embodiment of the invention has proposed a kind of gaze imaging system over the ground of the platform that is used to hover, and comprises transmitter module, signal processing module and receiver module.
Described transmitter module comprises radiation source unit and transmission antenna unit at random.Described radiation source unit at random is used for producing and the emission random signal with predetermined observation visual angle, described transmission antenna unit is by the actinal surface field of heterogeneous centrical antenna to external radiation formation stochastic distribution, with forming space-time bidimensional radiation field at random in beam coverage area behind the spatial transmission.
Described signal processing module links to each other with described transmitter module, the form that transmits, transmitter antenna configuration by radiation source unit at random distributes, transmitter to the elevation distance of areal coverage, observe the visual angle, calculate the described space-time bidimensional distributed data of radiation field at random, by to the described space-time bidimensional precise calibration of radiation field distribution at random, with described space-time bidimensional at random the radiation field distribution data be input to described receiver module.
Receiver module is used for the receiving antenna unit and receives the scatter echo signal, and the described space-time bidimensional that receives the input of the described signal processing module intensity distribution data of radiation field at random, described scatter echo signal and corresponding radiation field information are carried out association process unit output high-resolution inversion image.
Particularly, transmitter module: be different from traditional imaging system, the transmitter module of this imaging system is a core with radiation source unit at random, produce and the emission random signal, and by the actinal surface field of heterogeneous centrical antenna, with forming space-time bidimensional radiation field at random in beam coverage area behind the spatial transmission to external radiation formation stochastic distribution.
Signal processing module: this module is a core with radiation field calculation unit.The output terminal of radiation source unit links to each other with the input end of radiation field calculation unit at random, with the form that transmits, the transmitter antenna configuration of radiation source unit at random distribute, transmitter calculates unit module to parameter input radiation fields such as the elevation distance of areal coverage, radar observation visual angles, obtain the distributed data of radiation field, then by to the precise calibration of radiation field distribution, after obtaining at last revising accurately the radiation field distribution data to be used for follow-up imaging processing.
Receiver module: this module is a core with the association process unit.Receive the scatter echo signal by the receiving antenna unit, all scattered information all can be received in the whole receiving antenna beam of unit irradiation area, and the information that receives all is coupled.Traditional imaging system is only utilized the scatter echo signal in imaging process, radiation information is eliminated via modes such as matched filterings the effect of target, so radiation field information quilt " assimilation " in the imaging refutation process, constructed space-time bidimensional radiation field at random among the present invention, formed uncorrelated radiation field in beam coverage area.The scatter echo signal that difference is received constantly carries out the association process unit with the radiation field information of corresponding radiation field calculation unit gained, again by the information reorganization, thus output high-resolution inversion image.
As embodiments of the invention, the mode of operation setting of system can for:
According to the difference of radar observation visual angle γ, system is provided with looks, looks side ways just down and look side ways three kinds of mode of operations greatly.The pattern of looking just down realizes near the regional high-resolution staring imaging the subpoint; Strabismus mode has been broken through and has been looked fixing, the inflexible shortcoming in radar observation zone under the pattern just down, at any time the arbitrary region in the bilateral strabismus angular coverage before and after the platform is surveyed; Thereby can to rear area target imaging once more, have the maneuverability of height to the imaging in advance of the place ahead target.The multiple mode of operation of platform imaging system has strengthened the disguise of carrier aircraft, has improved the viability of carrier aircraft largely, has also brought very big dirigibility simultaneously, can in time adjust observation mode zones of different is carried out imaging.According to the size of angle of squint, be divided into strabismus mode and big strabismus mode.Strabismus mode is used for the high resolving power staring imaging of remote zone realization after geometry correction; Big strabismus mode is used for the high resolving power staring imaging of overlength distance zone realization behind geometry correction and radiometric calibration.
Being set as follows of concrete various mode of operations:
(1) looks mode of operation just down
The pattern of looking just down realizes near the regional high-resolution staring imaging the subpoint, utilizes system body mentioned above to constitute the radar high-resolution imaging function that can finish under this mode of operation.By near the zone the subpoint of ground is shone, with radiation source unit at random is the transmitter emission space radiation field at random of core, the radiation field calculation unit module utilization radiation field that aligns down viewed area with platform subpoint range information that transmits is calculated, and carry out the association process unit with scatter echo, realize looking just down the high-resolution imaging under the pattern.If radar observation visual angle angle is less, this moment, geometric distortion was less, need not to carry out geometry correction, and also can work looking under the pattern just down this moment.
For the observation visual angle of looking pattern just down, as shown in Figure 3, b is a n+1 range unit, and a is a n range unit, has: Because the ground distance that the different distance unit causes expands to δ r.
Then the platform control module should be provided with podium level according to following formula: δr = H · tan γ max - a 2 - H 2 .
As the platform that hovers is apart from floor level H=10km, and transmitted signal bandwidth B is 1GHz, and resolution requirement is δ r≤10m, then looks radar observation visual angle γ under the pattern≤1.72 ° just down.
(2) stravismus mode of operation
Increase to the picture visual angle, system switches to the stravismus mode of operation, 1.72 °<γ of strabismus mode restriction angle of squint scope≤75 °.This pattern is used for the high resolving power staring imaging of remote zone realization after geometry correction.Under the observation configuration of stravismus, because there is bigger angle in the center of inspection surface (scattering atural object) and radar, so scatter echo signal arrival radar receiver will produce bigger extended distance.Under this mode of operation, on the basis that system body constitutes, promoter spatial domain decomposing module, utilize the space-time bidimensional at random the randomness of radiation field time dimension realize the expansion of echo apart from dimension.The decomposition of sub-spatial domain is equivalent to according to range gate to be cut apart scatter echo, obtains a series of " sub-echoes ".And,, discrete region to be measured being changed into the sub-spatial domain of arc shape according to shown in Figure 4 for each sub-echo, the surface in sub-spatial domain is made of the azimuth dimension vertical with the distance dimension.Utilize sub-spatial domain decomposing module, the sub-spatial domain of overlay area is the different arc of density bunch, closely with respect to the compressed characteristic of remote speech appearance.As shown in Figure 5, in the imaging refutation process, need carry out geometry correction, the sub-spatial domain that obtains rule is divided, and the geometry correction process need is realized by methods such as resampling and interpolation.
To each sub-spatial domain, adopt system body to constitute again, with radiation source unit at random is the transmitter module emission space-time two-dimension radiation field at random of core, with sub-echoed signal and radiation field calculation unit module output carrying out association process unit, just can inverting obtain the scattering strength size of a spatial spreading unit.At last all discrete units are spliced, thereby obtain the regional high resolution radar image of whole stravismus.
Under strabismus mode, high level blocks, atural object rises and falls, and cause folded covered, shadow effect can be ignored, and does not therefore need elevation information, can obtain high-resolution inversion chart picture by above-mentioned expansion of distance dimension and geometry correction.
(3) look side ways mode of operation greatly
Continue to increase the angle of squint, system will switch to big stravismus mode of operation.Big strabismus mode is used for high resolving power staring imaging behind geometry correction and radiometric calibration is carried out in the overlength distance zone.Seemingly also there are geometric distortion in this mode of operation and routine work mode class, need carry out corresponding geometry correction.The increasing of angle of squint has simultaneously brought new problem.It is big that the radar observation visual angle becomes, overlength distance observation imaging meeting produces very strong geometric deformation, as shown in Figure 6 since the fluctuating on ground or mountain peak block that cause folded covered, shadow effect, these distortions can not be corrected, and can cause the acute exacerbation of overlay area two dimensional surface resolution.Folded cover, the inverting data of shade distortion zone do not comprise the target scattering characteristics on the corresponding flat overlay area, therefore should delete these zones from quantitative data analysis.For this reason, need calibration as follows: (1) obtains altitude figures to beam coverage area, obtains the distortion range of corresponding flat overlay area.Can obtain altitude figures by digital elevation figure (DEM) or wave beam interference technique.(2) carry out radiometric calibration, in radiation field calculation unit module,, obtain revised inversion chart picture foldedly covering accordingly, carrying out the association process unit after the radiation field distribution zero setting of shade distortion zone.(3) look like to carry out image registration according to elevation map and revised inversion chart, obtain final inversion chart picture.
For the observation visual angle of big strabismus mode, as shown in Figure 7, the plan range floor level of hovering is H, and earth radius is R.
Then the platform control module should be provided with podium level according to following formula: γ max = arcsin ( R H + R ) .
As the podium level H that hovers is 10km, and R is an earth radius, then
Figure BDA0000042698770000092
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in further detail:

Radiation style on the areal coverage:
Ψ ( x , y , t ) = Σ i = 1 4 u ( x i , y i , t - ( x i - x ) 2 + ( y i - y ) 2 + z 0 2 c )
≈ Σ i = 1 4 u ( x i , y i , t - z 0 c - ( x i - x ) 2 + ( y i - y ) 2 2 z 0 c )
If the target scattering coefficient of areal coverage is
Figure BDA0000042698770000105
The scattered field that receiver receives can represent that the scattered field that obtains is with following formula
rec ( t ) = ∫ S ′ u ( r → , t - | r ′ ′ → - r → | c ) 4 π | r ′ ′ → - r → | dS ′ = ∫ S ′ Ψ ( r → , t - | r ′ ′ → - r → | c ) · σ ( r → ) 4 π | r ′ ′ → - r → | dS ′
Exist at the receiver receiving position Situation under, revised radiation field
Ψ ′ ( r → , t ) = Ψ ( r → , t - | r ′ ′ → - r → | c ) 4 π | r ′ ′ → - r → |
Following formula is the computing formula of radiation field calculation unit module.
Radiation field distribution figure on the areal coverage that process radiation field calculation unit module draws is as figure (6) (at certain time slice of determining).
The echoed signal that receiver module obtains is
rec ( t ) = ∫ S ′ Ψ ′ ( r → , t ) · σ ( r → ) dS ′
As seen, target information all is coupling in the target information of gained.
Fig. 9 is the areal coverage radiation field distribution figure of certain gaze duration sampling; Figure 10 has provided the areal coverage scattering coefficient and has distributed.
The space-time bidimensional that the unit module of output scattered field echoed signal by the joint receiver module and radiation field calculation at last calculates gained is radiation field at random, change with space diversity at random in time by radiation field at random, according to the space-time bidimensional difference of the statistical dependence characteristic of radiation field at random, association process module in the receiver adopts different processing modes, the target information that feasible script is coupled is separated, and then the information of carrying out is recombinated and acquisition high resolution target information.
In the emulation, two kinds of different radiation signals at random of the radiation source unit at random of transmitter module emission, with the random signal of desirable white noise signal as emission, the image such as Figure 11 (a), 11 (b) that sample and obtain under 2000 times, 5000 times at gaze duration; Utilize the random signal of noise FM signal, image such as Figure 12 (a), Figure 12 (b) of under gaze duration sampling 2000 times, 5000 times, obtaining as emission.
