Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, to a kind of self-focusing method being imaged for airborne radar forward sight pulse proposed by the present invention It is described in detail.
During antenna scanning, the admission process of radar data is in orientation equivalent to antenna radiation pattern and ground scatter The convolution process of coefficient.For an ideal point target in wave beam, itself and, difference beam echo data slow time-domain by with, poor day Line directional diagram is modulated, and antenna radiation pattern can be accurately calculated by echo data and mirror angular curve is thus obtained.
Exemplified by than facies model monopulse antenna, make ∑ (θ), Δ (θ) represent respectively and, difference beam antenna radiation pattern, Ideally, the relationship of the two is represented by:
Δ (θ)=∑ (θ) jtan (k π θ) (1)
Wherein, j is imaginary unit's variable, and tan () is represented to take arctangent operation, and θ is represented relative to antenna beam center Azimuth (orientation off-axis angle), k is a constant, relevant with the factor such as monopulse antenna systematic parameter and antenna elevation angle. Order
Wherein, Im { } is to take imaginary-part operation.Then the relation between (1) formula, M (θ) and relative bearing θ can table It is shown as:
M (θ)=tan (k π θ) (3)
Above formula discloses the angle measuring principle of monopulse antenna, that is, give pulse and, difference than and target off-axis in wave beam The relation at angle, therefore often it is also referred to as the mirror angular curve of monopulse antenna.
It is as shown in Figure 1 with poor, beam antenna data recording two-dimensional space geometrical relationship schematic diagram under azimuth scan pattern.If During data recording, by with beam transmission signal and by being received respectively with, difference beam, wave beam is with angular speed vsAt the uniform velocity inswept point Target, makes t represent slow time (orientation time) variable, and overlap the moment with point target as time zero (t=using beam central line 0), then continually scanning for wave beam, point target transient bearing off-axis angle is represented by:
θ (t)=- vst (4)
If radar by with beam transmission signal, and by being received respectively with, difference beam, for ease of discussing, put aside echo Signal distance ties up information, then point target and, difference beam orientation echo-signal S (t), D (t) be represented by:
Wherein, A is point target scattering coefficient.From above formula, accurately antenna direction is contained in point target echo data Figure modulation intelligence, directly can calculate mirror angular curve, i.e., by it
Inspired by this point, for the monopulse antenna of scan pattern, an angular curve method of estimation of directly reflecting is From the echo data after pulse compression find similar to point target isolated strong scattering point, orientation extract respectively itself and, Poor echo-signal, actual mirror angular curve is calculated by the two ratio.However, really there is some problem in this method actual treatment, such as: Due in practice and in the absence of ideal point target, therefore the selection of isolated strong scattering point is difficult to be automatically performed, and generally requires from real ripple Artificial judgment in beam images;Choose isolated strong scattering point and extract after data, inevitably there is it due to receiving in data His target side-lobe signal and receiver noise, the accurate estimation of mirror angular curve need multiple averaging to realize.
For such case, the present invention proposes the side that a kind of realization mirror angular curve automatic from echo data is accurately estimated Method, because its final purpose is, in order to overcome caused by angle error pulse image resolution ratio to decline problem, therefore to be claimed Self-focusing method is imaged for pulse, this method is realized the accurate estimation for the angular curve that reflects by some iterative process, is used in combination Imaging process after, realizes image self-focusing.Its handling process is as shown in Fig. 2 its key step is as follows:
1) sample data is extracted by range gate
If it is after range pulse compression and, poor two-way echo-signal be respectively S (r, t), D (r, t), wherein r represents distance Door, t represents slow time variable.Position t shown in Energy maximum value in search and each range gate of beam datamax(r), and with tmax (r) centered on, the range gate is extracted in slow time intervalIt is interior and, difference beam echo data. Wherein, TβThe time of the inswept beam main lobe width of antenna is represented, i.e.,
Wherein, β represents beam main lobe width.OrderRepresent respectively and, difference beam carried in range gate r The data taken, whereinFor the corresponding slow time variable of sample data, then
Because the data are subsequently by the estimation for the angular curve that reflects, therefore it is called sample data.The step is substantially Energy maximum in each range gate is considered as isolated strong scattering point echo-signal, and to extract a beam angle centered on it Interior data.
2) mirror angular curve is estimated
The process, which is represented by, to be estimated to mirror angular curve by sample data by the average method of range gate:
Wherein,Represent to sum to all range gates, subscript " * " represents conjugate operation,Represent estimation gained Reflect angular curve.
3) pulse imaging is carried out to sample data
WillAs mirror angular curve, using pulse imaging algorithm to each range gate sample data Imaging is carried out, imaging results are designated asFrom pulse imaging algorithm feature, if the sample that certain range gate is chosen If data are similar to isolated strong scattering point, and mirror angular curve is accurate, imaging results should be similar to impulse function in orientation, i.e., There is peak value in position of orientation residing for target, and energy height is concentrated near peak value.Therefore, each range gate imaging results peak value The Energy distribution situation near zone (we term it peak region) and other regions can be as foundation, for entering to all samples Row screening, retains the data for being similar to isolated strong scattering point.
4) sample data is screened
In each range gate imaging results, search peak positionSet the corresponding time model in peak region Width is enclosed for TP(initial value can be set to the half or a quarter of sample data time span, i.e., (Or), Then peak region isIt is calculated as respectively as result peak region energy P1And other area's energy (r) Measure P2(r) the two ratio, is calculatedAnd with the thresholding η that is previously setT(typically in 0.1~0.3 value) ratio Compared with so as to judge this apart from the whether similar isolated strong scattering point target of gated data, if retained.The process be represented by as Lower Hypothesis Testing Problem:
Wherein, H1、H0Assuming that representing the data " comprising isolated strong scattering point " and " not including isolated strong scattering point " respectively.
5) new sample data is obtained
It is H that judged result is rejected from sample data0Range gate, to judged result be H1Range gate, using step 1) Method extract sample data again.Because the maximum in pulse imaging results also reflects the true position of scattering point simultaneously Put, therefore need to be according to step 4) the corresponding time location of peak value in imaging resultsThe center t of data is extracted in amendmentmax (r), i.e.,
Wherein, t 'max(r) represent to extract the stylish center of data.
6) the sample data repeat step 2 to filtering out)~5) form iterative process
To the sample data repeat step 2 newly extracted)~5) form iterative process, each iteration need to reduce step 4) in peak It is worth area time width TP, work as TPDuring less than preset value (the pulse imaging results of selected data can well focussed), repeatedly In generation, terminates, and obtains final mirror angular curve estimate.
7) pulse imaging is carried out to initial data with the mirror angular curve finally estimated
With step 6) obtained mirror angular curve carries out pulse imaging to whole data, so as to improve by angle error Caused image quality decrease.
Using emulate data and measured data processing to pulse proposed by the present invention imaging self-focusing method tested Card, experimental result fully demonstrates the validity of the method for the present invention.
Emulation data in experiment employ it is airborne and, difference beam monopulse radar forword-looking imaging model, emulation experiment system System parameter be:Radar wavelength is located at X-band (wavelength 0.03m), and system bandwidth is 500MHz, sample frequency 600MHz, pulse weight Complex frequency 15kHz, beam positional to 150 °/s of sweep speed, carrier aircraft flying speed 100m/s, imaging area centre distance 2000m, With beam positional to 2.4 ° of main lobe width, -20 ° of beam positional scanning range~20 °.
The emulation ground scene that experiment is selected is airfield runway region, its High Resolution SAR Images as shown in figure 3, experiment By scene simulation generation than facies model monopulse radar and, poor echo-signal and carry out respective handling.Dotted line gives in Fig. 4 Emulate the actual pulse mirror angular curve that data are used.The estimation of mirror angular curve and autohemagglutination are carried out using the inventive method to the data Jiao's processing, in processing, thresholding ηTIt is set to 0.2, peak region time range width TPInitial value be set to sample data time span A quarter, each iteration reduces half, T during last time iterationPIt is worth for a pulse repetition period (PRI).Fig. 5 gives During each iterative processing, the azimuthal section figure of sample data pulse imaging results, the figure has all sample data imaging results Average gained.It can be seen that with the progress of iterative process, the sample data azimuth characteristic of selection is progressively close to " point Target ", mirror angular curve is progressively close to actual value, therefore the pulse imaging resolution of sample is improved constantly.Final mirror angular curve Shown in solid in estimated result such as Fig. 4, it can be seen that estimated result is very small with real curve gap, estimation progress is higher.Most Eventually, Fig. 6 gives the overall imaging results of pulse of Autofocus processing, and Fig. 7, Fig. 8 sets forth using estimation gained mirror angle Curve and using exist error reflect angular curve imaging results partial enlarged drawing, magnification region be Fig. 6 in boxed area, from into This it appears that improvement of the present invention to imaging effect in picture result.
Two groups of airbome monopulse radar measured datas are handled, when the common feature of two groups of data is data recording, There is certain error in actual mirror angular curve, the result side of pulse imaging is directly carried out by theoretical mirror angular curve with design load Position need to be improved to definition, so as to be verified to the inventive method.
First group of measured data is enrolled by certain type X-band airbome monopulse radar, and image scene is sea area.System band A width of 2MHz, pulse recurrence frequency 400Hz, beam positional to 15 °/s of sweep speed, carrier aircraft ground velocity 90m/s, into and beam positional To 3.8 ° of main lobe width, -30 ° of beam positional scanning range~30 °, imaging area central point is apart from 50km.Dotted line gives in Fig. 9 Mirror angular curve according to obtained by being calculated systematic parameter, due to the curve and physical presence error, therefore as the simple venation obtained by the curve Rush image orientation exist it is a certain degree of defocus, Autofocus processing need to be carried out.Solid line gives autohemagglutination of the present invention in Fig. 9 Mirror angular curve obtained by burnt method estimation, it can be seen that the curve has certain difference with ideal curve.Figure 10 give through The pulse imaging results crossed after Autofocus processing, in order to (calculate curve obtained using systematic parameter to carry out with before self-focusing Imaging) image contrasted, and we have chosen two pieces of regions in figure and have carried out partial enlargement, and be provided in Figure 11~Figure 14 Contrast before and after self-focusing, from these figures, it is apparent that after the processing of self-focusing method, due to can from data The middle accurate mirror angular curve of acquisition, therefore can further improve image quality.
Second group of measured data is enrolled by certain type X-band airbome monopulse radar, and image scene is Mountainous Regions.System band A width of 4MHz, pulse recurrence frequency 1560Hz, beam positional to 46 °/s of sweep speed, carrier aircraft ground velocity 101m/s, into wave beam side Position is to 3.6 ° of main lobe width, -40 ° of beam positional scanning range~40 °, and imaging area central point is apart from 40km.In Figure 15 solid line and Dotted line sets forth estimation gained and as the mirror angular curve obtained by systematic parameter is calculated, it can be seen that both exist certain Difference.Figure 16~Figure 18 gives the imaging results calculated using self-focusing, and by being carried out before partial enlarged drawing and self-focusing Contrast, from result this it appears that the validity of algorithm.
