Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of radar imaging, and particularly relates to a radar range profile reconstruction method based on CP-OFDM under a fragment frequency spectrum background.
Background
The integrated signal sharing in the radar communication integrated technology enables the radar and the communication part not to be obviously separated in a time domain or a space domain, a set of hardware device is shared, the high-efficiency transmission of communication data is realized while the radar target detection is carried out, the distance and Doppler resolution capability are high, and the radar detection target principle is shown in figure 1. In the field of traditional radar imaging, linear frequency modulation signals with large time-band products are mostly adopted to detect and position a target, and distance position information with higher resolution is obtained. Due to the self-correlation characteristic of the linear frequency modulation signal, when a pulse compression method of matched filtering is adopted in back-end signal processing to reconstruct a target range profile, a side lobe is very high, so that a target with weak strength is interfered by a side lobe level of a strong target and is difficult to recover, and the problem of low communication rate exists in the process of overlapping communication signals on the basis of the radar signal, so that the radar signal has no great advantage as an integrated signal. The OFDM technology effectively resists multipath fading in communication, is easy to synchronize and balance, realizes high-efficiency information transmission and frequency band utilization, and the radar adopting the OFDM technology has the characteristics of flexible waveform design, high distance resolution, high Doppler resolution, frequency orthogonality, easy frequency diversity realization and the like. The cyclic prefix CP is added in front of the signal, so that the interference caused by multiple targets can be resisted, and the characteristic of nearly zero range sidelobe can be realized in range image reconstruction.
At present, many researches consider the application of OFDM in radar target detection, multi-target tracking and the like. The document "IRCI Free Range Reconstruction for SAR Imaging With the Arbitrary Length OFDM Pulse, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing,2014,62(18): 4748-. However, modulation of the OFDM signal requires a continuous segment of subcarriers, and occupies a wide spectrum. In practice, due to the existence of multitasking, the spectrum resources are split into fragmented bands, and the spectrum block diagram is shown in fig. 2, making it difficult to be applied to practice. The effective utilization of the fragmented spectrum is realized by applying the OFDM of the spectrum blocks to Communication in the documents of Resource block Filtered-OFDM for future spectral analysis and power efficiency systems, Physical Communication,2014,11:36-55, but the application effectiveness of the OFDM based on the fragmented spectrum in radar detection is not proved by related documents.

The reconstruction method of the present invention is further verified by simulations below, all steps, conclusions verified on MatlabR2016 a.
Simulation scene: assuming that the maximum value M of the number of distance resolution units is 100, the number of subcarriers of an OFDM signal is 256, the number of resource blocks is 2, each of the OFDM signal and the resource blocks includes 128 subcarriers, and the signal bandwidth is B200 MHz.
Fig. 4 shows the distance image recovery results for different CP lengths, where CP is set to 90 and 99, respectively, and simulation results of (a) and (b) are obtained. As can be seen from the figure, if CP is 99, that is, if CP is long enough, the range can be recovered without distortion like in the case of no noise, and the side lobe level can reach-130 dB, once the CP length is reduced; when CP is 90, the range side lobe level is raised to 5-10dB by the interference from the multipath, and the weak target is difficult to recover.
Fig. 5(a) - (h) show the distance image reconstruction comparison of the RB-CP-OFDM and the linear frequency modulation signal (LFM) under different signal-to-noise ratios, which clearly shows that the reconstruction performance of the RB-CP-OFDM signal is better than that of the LFM signal, and the reconstruction performance of the LFM is not easily affected by noise due to its self-correlation property, and although the signal-to-noise ratio is high enough, a weak target still suffers from the interference of a strong target. And RB-CP-OFDM can still recover the range image of the target even under the condition of lower signal-to-noise ratio.
Fig. 6 shows the RB-CP-OFDM signal and the LFM signal point spread function, wherein the upper curve is the LFM signal point spread function and the lower curve is the RB-CP-OFDM signal point spread function. Comparing the distance side lobe of the two, proves that the RB-CP-OFDM with the sufficient CP can obtain lower distance side lobe and obtain greater advantage in the radar multi-target detection.
