Embodiment
Now the invention will be further described by reference to the accompanying drawings.
For the ease of understanding, before delay time estimation method of the present invention is described, first the pulse structure of Pattern time delay coding related in the method is described.
Fig. 1 is the pulse structure schematic diagram of described Pattern time delay coding.In Fig. 1 .a, provide a group code meta structure, comprised L the Pattern code that correlativity is good, wherein τ di(i=1,2,3 ...) represent time delay difference, represent that Pattern code appears at the position of code element window; T prepresent Pattern code pulsewidth; T 0represent symbol width; T cthe presentation code time, T c=T 0-T p.Each code element dutycycle of PTDS system is η=T p/ T 0, its value is less than 1.In ultra-short baseline, the depth information of transponder is obtained by pressure transducer, and depth information is sent to calling terminal by the mode of encoding by time delay in answer signal based on PTDS communication system.Transmitted signal is made up of three parts, respectively synchronizing pulse, positive frequency modulation chirp pulse signal (PLFM), negative frequency modulation chirp pulse signal (NLFM), the depth information that wherein time delay spacing between PLFM, NLFM pulse has comprised transponder, as shown in Fig. 1 .b.Therefore, can ask for the time delay spacing between PLFM, NLFM pulse by delay time estimation method of the present invention, and then obtain the depth information of transponder.
Below in conjunction with a specific embodiment, and in conjunction with Fig. 2, delay time estimation method of the present invention is illustrated.
In one embodiment, transponder is apart from ultra-short baseline 600m, hangs the degree of depth for 20m under water, and ultra-short baseline is operated in 8m under water, and nautical receiving set receives corresponding signal, and according to received signal, delay time estimation method of the present invention comprises the following steps:
Step 1), determine the coding corresponding relation of the poor and positional information of signal form, the impulse time delay of transmitting Pattern signal according to system index.
In this step, pulse signal form refers to centre frequency, pulse length T and the bandwidth B of LFM signal, and determining of pulse signal form is relevant with the Time delay Estimation Accuracy of time delay coding with the operating distance of transponder.Centre frequency and pulse length T relate to the operating distance of transponder, and centre frequency is lower and T is longer, and distance is far away; And signal bandwidth more long time delay precision is higher.Those skilled in the art will know that, the coded message of the corresponding transponder degree of depth of delay inequality between pulse, if transponder is under different degree of depth environment in practical work process, between pulse, the coding corresponding relation of delay inequality and positional information (being mainly the degree of depth of transponder) will be different so.Therefore, need in this step to determine according to the system index relevant with testing environment the coding corresponding relation etc. of the poor and positional information of signal form, the impulse time delay of Pattern signal.
Step 2), according to the definite transmitting Pattern pulse signal form of step 1) build the replica signal of corresponding related operation.
Step 3), intercepting respectively Pattern pulse receiving in signal, by obtained intercept signal and step 2) replica signal that obtains carries out respectively related operation for the first time.
Intercept Pattern pulse in reception signal time, should ensure that the signal after intercepting must comprise the pulse of pattern time delay coding.
Step 4), by result and a detection threshold value of related operation compare for the first time, if exceed for the first time described detection threshold value in related operation result and only have a correlation peak, calculate the positional information of transponder according to the pulse correlation peak of PLFM and the peak-to-peak delay inequality of pulse correlation of NLFM, otherwise carry out next step;
Step 5), the correlated results for the first time of PLFM pulse and NLFM pulse is carried out to computing cross-correlation, in the result of computing cross-correlation for the second time, find peak-peak, calculate the positional information of transponder according to this maximum value position.
From finding out delay time estimation method of the present invention, because a correlated results of transmitting Pattern pulse has been described the transport function of propagation channel from energy, be the multipath structure in propagation channel, and multiple pulses must have the correlated results of same structure within certain correlation time; Carry out secondary correlation computations, the energy that can further add up obtains secondary relevant peaks again, and the position of correlation peak has also represented the time delay estimation value between Pattern coded pulse, thereby can accurately calculate the positional information of transponder.
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram to adopting the result that delay time estimation method of the present invention obtains in above-described embodiment.Wherein, Fig. 3 .a is the time domain waveform that receives signal, former and later two pulse signals are respectively positive and negative frequency modulation on pulses, can find out that receiving signal has higher signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), Fig. 3 .b, Fig. 3 .c are respectively positive and negative frequency modulation and carry out the result after a correlations with transmitting copy, from figure, can clearly find out, have two relevant peaks 400 front and back, can infer this by the degree of depth of transponder is the echo causing due to water-reflected, this has caused difficulty to the position that judges relevant peaks, estimates to such an extent as to cannot obtain time delay accurately.Fig. 3 .d is the result that secondary is relevant, can find out the cumulative rear obvious relevant peaks that obtains of multipath energy, and the time delay that can complete exactly successively pattern time-delay coding is estimated.
Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of delay time estimation method of the present invention for the next embodiment of Low SNR.Along with transponder is more and more far away apart from ultra-short baseline, can find out that, compared with Fig. 3 .a, the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) that receives signal in Fig. 4 .a has declined a lot.Simultaneously in Fig. 4 .b, Fig. 4 .c positive and negative frequency modulation on pulse for the first time correlated results also can find out, the relevant peaks of direct wave is even lower than the relevant peaks of boundary reflection.Now no matter the peak of how complicated choosing mechanism, also be to be difficult to complete exactly relevant peaks differentiate, but in the result of secondary after relevant, still can see clear and definite relevant peaks in Fig. 4 .d, this also makes peak value detect to have become simply, and then the time delay that completes exactly pattern time-delay coding is estimated.
It should be noted last that, above embodiment is only unrestricted in order to technical scheme of the present invention to be described.Although the present invention is had been described in detail with reference to embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that, technical scheme of the present invention is modified or is equal to replacement, do not depart from the spirit and scope of technical solution of the present invention, it all should be encompassed in the middle of claim scope of the present invention.
