Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of automatic control of a railway marshalling station, in particular to a hump speed measuring radar and a self-checking method thereof.
Background
At present, radars used for measuring the speed of vehicles in a railway hump yard at home and abroad belong to analog speed measuring radars, the high reliability is required, when the radars are in a state of no vehicle sliding to be measured, a self-checking circuit is required to detect whether related hardware systems such as a radar high-frequency system and a signal amplifying circuit are normal or not, and a fixed frequency signal is output to inform an automatic control center of a hump marshalling station. The method commonly adopted at present is to detect the quality of the radar high-frequency system by detecting whether the direct-current bias voltage of the mixing tube is normal or not. When the frequency mixing tube works normally, the frequency mixing tube has a certain DC bias voltage, and when the bias voltage is normal, a self-checking signal is injected into the front end of the analog signal amplifying circuit through the AND gate circuit. And completing the self-checking function.
However, since the self-test signal does not actually pass through the high-frequency system, and whether the high-frequency system is normal or not completely depends on the value of the dc bias voltage of the mixing tube, long-term application practice shows that the method has the following defects:
1. the frequency mixing tube has great characteristic relation between direct current bias voltage and temperature of the device, and the sensitivity of the received signal cannot be completely reflected, so that the self-checking reliability is insufficient.
2. The front protective plate material, thickness and installation position of the radar have great influence on the voltage of the mixing tube, which can cause the misjudgment of the high-frequency system.
3. At present, the self-checking circuit can only be applied to the radar with a single-tube mixer structure, and the circuit cannot be applied to the balanced mixer radar with better performance.

The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention provides a hump velocity measurement radar which comprises a frequency modulation microstrip antenna and an FPGA (field programmable gate array) main control module, wherein the signal output end of the frequency modulation microstrip antenna is connected with the frequency modulation signal input end of the FPGA main control module through a signal amplification filter circuit and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit which are connected in sequence, and the frequency modulation signal output end of the FPGA main control module is connected with the signal input end of the frequency modulation microstrip antenna through a digital-to-analog conversion circuit and a sweep frequency voltage control circuit which are connected in sequence.
The invention also provides a self-checking method of the hump speed measuring radar, which comprises the following steps:
step S1: in the radar self-checking stage, the FPGA main control module continuously sends out fixed frequency fΔThe triangular wave modulation signal is a 2000Hz triangular wave modulation signal, and after the modulation signal passes through a digital-to-analog conversion module and a frequency sweep voltage control module, a frequency modulation microstrip antenna at the front end of the radar is controlled to carry out FMCW mode modulation and amplitude modulation; according to the FMCW technical principle, the wave transmitted by the radar is a high-frequency continuous wave which changes along with time according to the triangular wave rule, the frequency of the echo received by the radar is the same as the change rule of the transmitted frequency, only a time difference exists, and the distance of a target can be calculated through the time difference; in addition, after amplitude modulation demodulation, the Doppler signal output by the radar contains a base frequency signal similar to a triangular wave, and the frequency of the base frequency signal is the same as that of the input triangular wave modulation signal;
step S2: calculating the Doppler frequency shift value f of the relative moving object under the condition that the length of the sampling series is Nd:
In the formula (f)sK is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to N-1;
step S3: fourier transform with length N is carried out on I signal and Q signal in Doppler signal output by radar, and the Fourier transform is recorded as XI(K) And XQ(K),K=0,1...N-1;
Step S4: are respectively paired with XI(K) And XQ(K) The spectral signal is subjected to pole peak value query, all XI(K) Magnitude value | X at the pole peak of (1)I(K)|≥FnAre considered to be valid pole peaks, where FnFor the amplitude threshold, the corresponding K point value is recorded in the array sI(i) Li, sI(i)={KI1,KIN-1, n is a number satisfying | X }, i ═ 0,1I(K)|≥FnThe number of pole peaks;

step S7: repeating the steps 2-6, continuously detecting the signal loops of the I signal and the Q signal, if the signal loops through which the I signal and the Q signal pass are normal in a plurality of detection periods, considering that the system signal loop is normal, and outputting the frequency equal to fΔAnd providing the square wave signal to an automatic control system.
Further, the step S2 further includes: and selecting a hamming window series to carry out windowing truncation on the Doppler signal so as to reduce the influence of the frequency spectrum leakage on the measurement result.
Further, in the step S2, fsIs fdTo appropriately reduce the frequency offset caused by the calculation error.
The principle of the invention is as follows: when the radar transmitting frequency is subjected to frequency sweep modulation, an intermediate frequency signal similar to the frequency sweep modulation signal exists in the mixing output, as shown in fig. 1. It can be seen in the figure that when the radar transmitting frequency is subjected to frequency modulation change according to a triangular wave curve, echoes (even no object echo, even continuous echoes of particles such as uniform far-near air and the like) of no matter how far away an object is in front of the radar can generate different mixing signals in a rising edge stage and a falling edge stage of the triangular wave, and the following conditions are met:
in the rising edge stage of the triangular wave: f. ofb+=f0-fd
In the falling edge stage of the triangular wave: f. ofb-=f0+fd
In the formula (f)b+Frequency difference obtained for forward modulation of the first half-cycle, fb-Frequency difference obtained by negative frequency modulation of the second half period, f0Is the difference frequency, f, of the target at relative restdIs the doppler shift relative to a moving object.
For stationary targets, the mixed output signals of the up-and down-frequency segments are of the same frequency but opposite phase. When no target is detected, f0、fdAre all 0. To forThe mixing signal frequencies of the ascending section and the descending section of the moving object are completely different.
By spectrum analysis, whether a target exists in front of the radar or not or a static or moving target can be obtained, and the radar mixing output signal always contains a fundamental frequency signal of a modulation triangular wave. The invention utilizes the existence of the fundamental wave signal, and analyzes and judges whether a system signal loop is normal or not by comparing the frequency spectrum characteristics of the output signal of the radar mixer and the frequency modulation signal of the radar transmitted wave. Since when the target is not detected, f0、fdAll are 0, and whether the signal loop is normal cannot be checked by detecting the Doppler frequency shift function in a single frequency modulation period, so that a plurality of frequency modulation periods are adopted for sampling and carrying out Fourier transform on the frequency, the frequency of a triangular wave modulation signal mixed in a Doppler signal output by a radar is solved, and whether the signal loop is normal can be detected under all conditions.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: the invention provides a hump speed measuring radar self-checking method, which utilizes digital processing and radar high-frequency sweeping technologies, rapidly modulates frequency of radar emission waves by adopting a frequency-adjustable microstrip panel antenna and a large-scale FPGA programmable logic controller, and leads self-checking modulation signals to completely pass through a loop with the same actual signals by comparing and analyzing Doppler signal frequency spectrums, thereby realizing the detection of all hardware from a radar high-frequency part to a signal processing part, ensuring that the self-checking signals have the same signal transmission path as the actual Doppler radar signals by one hundred percent, and improving the reliability of the self-checking function of a hardware system. Meanwhile, the self-checking is completely based on the same mechanism as the radar working signal, and does not depend on the bias voltage of the mixing tube, so the influence of environment and the like on the self-checking reliability is avoided.
