Embodiment

Embodiment describes in further detail the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

A kind of electronic tag Precision Orientation Algorithm, concrete steps are:

1, sets up the aerial array of radiofrequency signal detection instrument at three dimensions

As shown in Figure 1, in three dimensions, suppose that there is a passive electronic label at any 1 M place.Effectively in the investigative range radiofrequency signal detection instrument is being arranged.The antenna of this instrument is an array antenna, and each antenna top is according to A, B, C, 4 arrangements of D in 1 among the figure, wherein; AO=OB=m λ, OC=n λ, OD=k λ; λ is that radio frequency wavelength and AO, OB, OC, OD are definite value, and the M point is hypothesis electronic tag position.

2, three-dimensional fix is confirmed the M codomain to two dimensional surface

The radiofrequency signal detection instrument is at t ₀When periphery transmission frequency was the radiofrequency signal of f, corresponding electronic label can be the f self information to detection instrument loopback carrier frequency constantly.Because detection instrument has four antennas, at this moment, can be respectively at t _A, t _B, t _C, t _DConstantly receive 1 echoed signal respectively, according to s=1/2 * c * Δ t, s is the point-to-point transmission one way distance, and c is the electromagnetic wave velocity of wave, and Δ t is the reciprocal time of electromagnetic wave, then can obtain,

$s_{\mathrm{MA}}=\frac{1}{2}\×c\×{\mathrm{\Δt}}_{\mathrm{MA}}$

$s_{\mathrm{MB}}=\frac{1}{2}\×c\×{\mathrm{\Δt}}_{\mathrm{MB}}$

$s_{\mathrm{MC}}=\frac{1}{2}\×c\×{\mathrm{\Δt}}_{\mathrm{MC}}$

$s_{\mathrm{MD}}=\frac{1}{2}\×c\×{\mathrm{\Δt}}_{\mathrm{MD}}$

At three dimensions, satisfy MA, MB apart from being respectively s _MA, s _MBThe M codomain be a round o ' who is parallel to the yz two dimensional surface,, can find out from Fig. 2 that a M point that only navigates to according to MA, MB is a many-valued situation like Fig. 2.

3, two dimensional surface navigates to 1/2 two dimensional surface

In order to obtain unique M point, also need increase constraint condition, to solve the many-valued problem of M.Like Fig. 3 (a), Δ MAB ⊥ y ' o ' z ', known again s _MA, s _MBAnd s _AB, be beneficial to the cosine law, can try to achieve ∠ MBA,

$\cos \∠\mathrm{MBA}=\frac{{\mathrm{MB}}^2+{\mathrm{AB}}^2-{\mathrm{MA}}^2}{2\×\mathrm{MB}\×\mathrm{AB}},$

Mo '=MB * sin ∠ MBA again, o ' B=MB * cos ∠ MBA can get oo '=o ' B-oB, and oo '=Cc ', thereby obtain Cc '.Equally; Δ MCc ' ⊥ y ' o ' z ' can get thus, and is for Δ Mo ' c '; Mo ', Mc ' all obtain; And o ' c '=oC, the same triangle cosine law capable of using is tried to achieve ∠ Mo ' c '

$\∠M{o}^{\′}{c}^{\′}=\frac{{M{c}^{\′}}^2+{o^{\′}{c}^{\′}}^2-{M{c}^{\′}}^2}{2\×{\mathrm{Mo}}^{\′}\×o^{\′}{c}^{\′}},$

If α=∠ Mo ' c ', α are the angle that the M point begins to rotate from y ' positive axis.Among Fig. 3 (a), the M point obtains for being rotated counterclockwise α.According to symmetry, satisfy the aforementioned calculation process equally at M ' point.M ' is obtained by the α that turns clockwise by y ' positive axis, like Fig. 3 (b).At this moment, the M of gained point is still not unique, but has been limited to the left half-plane of z ' axle, also need continue to handle.

4,1/2 two dimensional surface navigates to 1/4 two dimensional surface

Shown in Fig. 4 (a), MD is apart from s _MDThrough measuring.In Δ Mo ' o, Mo ', o ' o all obtain, Δ Mo ' o ⊥ y ' o ' z ', and Δ Mo ' o is a right-angle triangle, then

Distance between note Mo is s _MoCan know by Fig. 4 (b), at a M and a M ' side, s _MDIncrease along with the increase at α angle.Can get thus, if s _MD＜s _MoThen the M point is D point homonymy (being the z positive axis among Fig. 4 (b)), otherwise the M point is D point heteropleural (being the negative semiaxis of z among Fig. 4 (b)).Through above calculating, confirmed unique electronic tag signal launching site M at last on 1/4y ' o ' z ' plane.

Like this through the constructing antennas array; A kind of 4 point location algorithms have been proposed; Realized the accurate location of electronic tag; This method has the advantages that principle of operation is simple, calculated amount is little, real-time is good, bearing accuracy is high, according to the needs of institute's design system, can the M dot position information that this method obtains be converted under rectangular coordinate system or the polar coordinate system through triangle relation and use.This method can be applicable to hand-held positioning equipment, through installing guide pieces such as laser additional at hand-held positioning equipment front end, combines this method can search out target more apace again.
