Description

Time difference and scale difference estimation method for broadband linear frequency modulation signal
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and particularly relates to a time difference and scale difference estimation method for broadband Linear Frequency modulation signals, which is suitable for positioning unknown radar radiation sources for transmitting broadband Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) signals on the surface of the earth by two satellites.
Background
The double-satellite passive positioning technology is that two satellites are used for receiving signals radiated by a radar radiation source and then parameters between the two satellite receiving signals are estimated to position an unknown radiation source; the radar is used as an important detection tool and plays a key role in modern war, so that a radar radiation source of an opposite side needs to be quickly and accurately positioned; in modern radars, a wideband Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) signal is one of the most common wideband radar transmission signals, because the LFM signal can ensure good detection capability and higher range and speed resolution of the radar.
The method is mainly characterized in that the time difference and the scale difference between two-satellite receiving signals are estimated by searching a Wideband Cross Ambiguity Function (WBCAF) peak value, the WBCAF performs scale expansion of one path of receiving signals and then performs time domain correlation with the other path of receiving signals, and when the scale expansion scale is the same as the scale difference between two paths of receiving signals, the time domain correlation at the time forms a Wideband Cross Ambiguity Function peak value. According to the position of the peak value of the broadband mutual fuzzy function, the time difference and the scale difference can be estimated. However, the method based on the wideband mutual fuzzy function WBCAF mainly has two problems: when the wideband mutual ambiguity function WBCAF is calculated, the received discrete signal needs to be stretched, however, the analytic expression of the received discrete signal is unknown, and the operation amount in the stretching process is overlarge; secondly, in order to obtain the peak position of the wideband mutual fuzzy function WBCAF, the fuzzy function value at each point on the whole fuzzy plane needs to be calculated, and the operation amount is large. Although the learner quickly implements the scaling of the discrete signals through the interpolation of the Sinc function, when the method is used for calculating the wideband mutual fuzzy function WBCAF, all possible scales need to be traversed, and the received discrete signals are scaled on each scale, which is not beneficial to real-time processing.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for estimating time difference and scale difference of wideband chirp signals, which first estimates the scale difference between two-satellite received signals and then estimates the time difference by using the characteristics of wideband chirp LFM signals.
The main ideas of the invention are as follows: the time when the broadband linear frequency modulation signal radiated by the radar radiation source reaches two satellites is different, and the time difference exists between the two satellite receiving signals; meanwhile, the radial speeds of the double satellites relative to the radar radiation source are different, the waveform of a received signal of one satellite is compressed or broadened relative to the waveform of a received signal of another satellite, and the scale difference is defined as the ratio of the waveform expansion of a received signal of a second satellite relative to the waveform expansion of a received signal of a first satellite; when the signal radiated by the radar radiation source is a broadband linear frequency modulation signal LFM signal, the ratio of the modulation frequencies between the signals received by the two stars is equal to the square of the scale difference, which can be known from the Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) of the broadband linear frequency modulation LFM signal; according to this feature, the frequency modulation rates of the two-star received signals can be estimated separately to obtain an estimate of the scale difference.
In order to achieve the technical purpose, the invention is realized by adopting the following technical scheme.
A time difference and scale difference estimation method for broadband linear frequency modulation signals comprises the following steps:
step 1, determining a radar radiation source, a first satellite and a second satellite, wherein the first satellite and the second satellite are respectively in the detection range of the radar radiation source, and the radar radiation source transmits broadband linear frequency modulation signals to the first satellite and the second satellite; directing a radar radiation source to a first particleThe satellite and the second satellite transmit broadband chirp signals of

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that:
compared with the traditional wideband mutual ambiguity function WBCAF method, the method has the core that the optimal angle corresponding to the linear frequency modulation LFM signals received by the two stars is searched in a grading mode to obtain the estimation of the scale difference, only the linear frequency modulation LFM signals received by the two stars need to be stretched once, the peak value of the wideband mutual ambiguity function WBCAF does not need to be searched in a two-dimensional mode, and therefore the calculation amount is small and the method is easy to achieve.

when the signal transmitted by the radar radiation source is a narrow-band signal, the stretching effect can be approximately considered that the signal received by the satellite has a Doppler frequency shift relative to the signal transmitted by the radar radiation source, and at the moment, the radar radiation source can be accurately positioned by respectively estimating the time difference and the Doppler frequency difference between the signals transmitted by the radar radiation source and received by the first satellite and the second satellite; however, when the signal emitted by the radar radiation source is a broadband signal, the stretching effect continues to be approximated by doppler shift, which causes a large error in positioning. Therefore, in the double-satellite positioning, in order to accurately position the radar radiation source, the time difference and the scale difference between the received signals of the first satellite and the second satellite need to be estimated; wherein the satellite is a first satellite or a second satellite, and the signal is a wideband chirp LFM signal.

By scaling, the scale difference △ σ exists between the wideband chirp LFM signals received by two satellites, so that the tuning frequencies of the wideband chirp LFM signals received by two satellites can be estimated respectively to obtain an estimate of the scale difference of the wideband chirp LFM signals received by two satellites.
Step 3, when the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is used for estimating the frequency modulation of LFM signals received by two satellites, the step length △α is firstly used for traversing the whole angle range [ -pi/2, pi/2],0<△α<Pi; obtaining the current optimal angle by fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) peak values, and respectively calculating to obtain broadband linear frequency modulation signals received by the first satellite

In particular, Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) is a common tool for estimating the tuning frequency of a chirped LFM signal. For a linear frequency modulation LFM signal, an angle can be found, the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) of the linear frequency modulation LFM signal at the angle is made to obtain the maximum value, and the angle is recorded as the optimal angle corresponding to the linear frequency modulation LFM signal; at the same time, the optimum angle is only related to the frequency modulation rate of the chirped LFM signal. Therefore, the process of estimating the frequency modulation of the linear frequency modulation LFM signal by using the FRFT is to calculate fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) of the linear frequency modulation LFM signal at different angles, search the peak value of the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), and calculate the frequency modulation according to the angle corresponding to the peak value; obviously, in order to obtain the estimation of the optimal angle, the whole angle range needs to be traversed, and the fractional order fourier transform FRFT at each angle is calculated; when the angle estimation precision is high, the number of the angles to be searched is large, and the calculation amount is large; the fractional fourier transform FRFT of the chirp LFM signal at an angle is larger as the angle of the fractional fourier transform FRFT is closer to the optimum angle. According to the characteristic, in order to reduce the operation amount, the optimal angle can be gradually searched through a hierarchical searching structure, and the scale difference estimation is obtained.
After the estimation of the scale difference is carried out, one path of receiving signals is stretched by the scale difference estimation, the stretched signals and the other path of receiving signals are subjected to time domain correlation, and the position of a signal peak value obtained after the time domain correlation is the estimation of the time difference; wherein, one path of receiving signal and the other path of receiving signal are any two paths of signals in the signals received by the double stars.

The effect of the present invention is further illustrated by simulation below.
Simulation parameters:
the radar radiation source transmits signals which are broadband linear frequency modulation LFM signals, B is 250MHz, T is 5 mus, and sampling frequency fsThe scale difference △ σ is 1.01 at 1GHz, the time difference △ τ is 0.5 μ s, and the noise is additive complex gaussian zero mean white noise.
(II) simulation content and analysis:
simulation 1, under the signal-to-noise ratio of-5 dB, the process simulation for estimating the time difference and the scale difference by the present invention, the results are shown in fig. 3a, fig. 3b and fig. 4, in which:
FIG. 3a is a plot of fractional Fourier transforms (FRFT) of a wideband chirp LFM signal received by a first satellite at different angles; wherein the horizontal axis is the angle and the vertical axis is the normalized amplitude.
FIG. 3b is a plot of fractional Fourier transforms (FRFT) of a broadband chirp LFM signal received by a second satellite at different angles; wherein the horizontal axis is the angle and the vertical axis is the normalized amplitude.
As can be seen from fig. 3a and 3b, the FRFTs searched hierarchically can respectively search the optimal angles of the LFM signals received by the first satellite and the second satellite, and the estimation of the scale difference can be calculated according to the angles corresponding to the peaks in fig. 3a and 3b

Figure BDA0001359477320000082

As can be seen from fig. 4, the time-domain correlation forms a peak, from the position of which an estimate of the time difference can be obtained
Figure BDA0001359477320000083
Therefore, the method can accurately estimate the time difference and the scale difference under the condition of lower signal-to-noise ratio.
Simulation 2, under different signal-to-noise ratios, the root mean square error curve of the time difference and the scale difference estimated by the invention is compared with the root mean square error curve of the traditional method for simulation, and the result is shown in fig. 5a and 5b, wherein:
FIG. 5a is a graph comparing the time difference estimation RMS error curve of the present invention with the RMS error curve of the conventional method; wherein the horizontal axis is the signal-to-noise ratio and the vertical axis is the root mean square error.
FIG. 5b is a comparison of the scale deviation estimation RMS error curve of the present invention and the RMS error curve of the conventional method; wherein the horizontal axis is the signal-to-noise ratio and the vertical axis is the root mean square error.
As can be seen from fig. 5a and 5b, the root mean square error curve estimated by the method of the present invention is substantially consistent with that estimated by the conventional method. As the signal-to-noise ratio is improved, the root mean square error of the time difference and the scale difference estimated by the two methods is obviously reduced and gradually approaches the lower boundary of the Cramer-Rao.
Simulation 3, the present invention simulates the CPU time needed by the LFM signals with different lengths to estimate the time difference and the scale difference with the traditional method, the result is shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is the CPU time graph needed by the LFM signals with different lengths to estimate the time/scale difference by using the method of the present invention and the traditional method; wherein, the horizontal axis is the signal time width, and the vertical axis is the CPU time.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the estimation time required by the present invention is significantly less than that of the conventional method. Particularly when long signals are processed, the invention can better meet the requirement of real-time processing.
In conclusion, the simulation experiment verifies the correctness, the effectiveness and the reliability of the method.
