Description

Low-altitude target micro Doppler feature extraction method
Technical Field
The invention relates to an external radiation source radar signal processing technology, in particular to a low-altitude target micro Doppler feature extraction method.
Background
At present, low-altitude areas are gradually opened, a large number of general aircrafts, especially unmanned aerial vehicles, enter the low-altitude field, the war electromagnetic environment is gradually complicated, and huge pressure is caused to air defense early warning and air training in important areas. The external radiation source radar has good four-resistant (anti-radiation missile, anti-interference, stealth resistance and low-altitude penetration resistance) capability. Especially, the civil communication signal-based external radiation source radar can make full use of the existing mobile communication facilities to construct a large-range passive detection network and has strong survivability in war environments. In order to maintain the national ownership and the state-of-the-earth defense space, the micro Doppler feature of the low-altitude target is effectively extracted, so that the low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude penetration target can be effectively tracked and imaged, the attribute, intention and threat degree of the low-altitude target are judged, and the method is one of the key factors for realizing more effective low-altitude monitoring and obtaining the war initiative.
The currently common micro-doppler feature extraction methods include: the time-frequency analysis is combined with a Hough Transform (HT) method, and the method is a common micro Doppler feature extraction method due to the characteristics of simplicity, effectiveness and the like. However, the extraction precision is influenced by the size of the radar echo data matrix, the window length of time-frequency analysis and the resolution of time-frequency analysis images. An orthogonal matching pursuit method is an efficient feature extraction technology proposed by y.c. Pati in 1993. The method is based on a matching pursuit algorithm, atoms in a dictionary are subjected to orthogonalization processing according to a Shi Mi special orthogonalization method, and iterative decomposition of signals is achieved on the basis that the signals are decomposed into overcomplete orthogonal bases. The method has high decomposition efficiency, high convergence rate, simplicity and feasibility, and is still applicable under the undersampling condition. However, the greatest disadvantage of the method is that when the extracted characteristic parameters are increased, the number of atoms in the dictionary is greatly increased, and the calculation amount of algorithm decomposition is increased in a geometric series manner.

the second step is that: extracting target micro-motion frequency and constructing a multiple observation vector model;
in a practical environment, strong scattering points on aerial targets and spatial targets are always limited, so that echoes of the aerial targets and the spatial targets have sparsity per se. The invention constructs a multiple observation vector model for the baseband echo, and reduces the data volume of the echo matrix, thereby reducing the operation amount of the feature extraction algorithm. The multiple observation vector model is a general popularization of a single observation vector model, and is used for observing signals with the same sparse structure for multiple times, namely, each column of the signals is sparse, the positions of non-zero elements are the same, and the multiple observation vector model has higher reconstruction accuracy and better anti-noise capability than the single observation vector model;
(a) Multiple observation vector model
Let there be a one-dimensional vector x = [ x (1), …, x (U)] T The coordinate alpha under the U-dimensional orthonormal base psi only contains B (B < U) nonzero elements, and alpha is called B sparse. Where x (1), …, x (U) are coordinates in a conventional coordinate system. Ψ is referred to as a sparse basis matrix for x. Setting the existence of an observation matrix phi which is not related to psi V×U (V < U) a linear observation is made of vector x, and the observation can be noted as y = Φ x = Φ Ψ α = Θ α, where Θ = Φ Ψ is referred to as the perceptual matrix. The original N-dimensional signal vector x is reduced to an M-dimensional vector y. When the constrained isometry condition (which is well known to those skilled in the art) is satisfied, the sparse representation of the signal vector x can be obtained by solving for the minimum l 0 Norm resolution, i.e.
α=arg min||α|| 0 (8)
Where α is a sparse representation of the vector x, and α satisfies the condition y = Φ Ψ α;
consider that if there are L sources with the same sparse structure, it is written X = [ X ] 1 ,…,x L ] T (X is a number of X's, i.e. X 1 ,…,x L Formed matrix), the same observation matrix may be used and the observations may be represented as

Due to the change of the target attitude, the observed echo matrix can not be directly used as a multiple observation vector S r . Therefore, a fast time t 'of the same target attitude is extracted' s The baseband echo of (1) constructs a multiple observation vector model with the same sparse structure, so that the sparse expression of the multiple observation vector model can be solved;

Let there be a one-dimensional vector x = [ x (1), …, x (U)] T The coordinate alpha under the U-dimensional orthonormal base psi only contains B nonzero elements, and if B & lt U, the alpha is called B sparse; wherein x (1), …, x (U) is the coordinate under the conventional coordinate system; Ψ is a sparse basis matrix called x; let us assume that there is an observation matrix phi that is independent of Ψ v×U (V < U) performing a linear observation on the vector x, and the observation result can be recorded as y = Φ x = Φ Ψ α = Θ α, where Θ = Φ Ψ is referred to as a perception matrix; reducing an original N-dimensional signal vector x into an M-dimensional vector y; when the constrained isometry condition is satisfied, the sparse representation of the signal vector x can be obtained by solving for the minimum l 0 Norm resolution, i.e.
α=arg min||α|| 0 (8)
Where α is a sparse representation of the vector x, and α satisfies the condition y = Φ Ψ α;
consider that if there are L sources with the same sparse structure, it is written X = [ X ] 1 ,…,x L ] T X is a number of L X, i.e. X 1 ,…,x L The formed matrix can adopt the same observation matrix, and the observation result can be expressed as
Y=ΦX=Φ[x 1 ,…,x L ] (9)
The model is called a multiple observation vector MMV model, and the multiplicity is L; solving is carried out by sparse matrix rank minimization by using the prior information that signals have the same sparse structure, namely the following equation sets are combined

Wherein A is a sparse representation of X, α l Represents the coordinates of the l-th source under the U-dimensional orthonormal basis and satisfies the condition Y = phi psi [ alpha ] 1 ,…,α L ];
(b) Construction of multiple observation vector model
Aiming at the baseband echo signal output in the first step, if the time is t m And a fast time t k Respectively sampling M 'and N', the echo signal can be expressed in a matrix form S r ∈R N′×M′ Wherein R represents a real number matrix; due to the change of the target attitude, the observed echo matrix can not be directly used as a multiple observation vector S r (ii) a Therefore, a fast time t 'of the same target attitude is extracted' s The baseband echo of (1) constructs a multiple observation vector model with the same sparse structure, so that the sparse expression of the multiple observation vector model can be solved;
because the echo at a certain fast time needs to be extracted, the prior information of the target micro-motion frequency is needed; extracting a target micro-motion frequency f by utilizing sinusoidal frequency modulation Fourier Bessel transformation; constructing a multiple observation vector model of the baseband echo by using the extracted micro-motion frequency f ', wherein f' is the estimation result of the extracted target micro-motion frequency
S(f′)=[s b (t′ s1 ,t′ m1 ),s b (t′ s2 ,t′ m2 ),…,s b (t′ sN′ ,t′ mN′ )] (11)
Wherein T =1/f 'is a target inching period, T' si Is a marked fast time instant, t' mi Is a fast time t' si Corresponding slow time series, i.e. t' mi =t′ si ,t′ si +T,...,t′ si +LT,

The number of occurrences of the same attitude at the radar illumination time t,
Figure FSB0000201135500000041
denotes rounding down, s b (t′ si ,t′ mi ) Is represented by t' si ,t′ mi Is a parametric baseband echo signal, i =1,2, ·, N';
the third step: constructing a target micro Doppler feature parameter dictionary
For a specific external radiation source signal, a received signal in practical application contains a target echo signal, a direct wave signal and other clutter, wherein the clutter signal is filtered by an existing clutter suppression method;
for the preprocessed target echo signal, a multiple observation vector model is constructed according to the second step, the orthogonality of OFDM signals is utilized to extract the echo of a certain sub-carrier frequency for processing, and then the carrier frequency of the target in the baseband echo is a known quantity; assuming that the number of signal amplitudes and phases in the sparse dictionary are P terms and Q terms respectively, the sparse dictionary can be expressed as { A } 1 ,…,A P And { theta } 1 ,…,θ Q F ' is used as a parameter, and the sparse dictionary Ψ (f ') with f ' as a parameter can be expressed as a matrix
Figure FSB0000201135500000042
Wherein the sparse dictionary matrix Ψ (f ') has a size of M' × PQ,

for decimated slow time instants, row vectors in the matrix

A feature vector representing the target micro-Doppler, where m =1, …, L, and
Figure FSB0000201135500000045
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure FSB0000201135500000046
the fourth step: micro-Doppler feature extraction of low-altitude targets
After the communication radiation source signal feature data set dictionary construction is completed, for a target baseband echo signal, the micro Doppler feature extraction of a low-altitude target is realized by adopting an orthogonal matching tracking algorithm;
using the micro-doppler feature parameter dictionary constructed in the third step, x = Ψ α can be rewritten as
S(f′)=Ψ(f′)X (15)
The size of the source matrix S (f ') is M multiplied by L, the size of the sparse representation matrix X is PQ multiplied by L, and the size of the sparse base matrix psi (f ') is M ' multiplied by PQ;
defining a down-sampling rate of
η=L/M′ (16)
Where M' is the number of slow time sample points;
under the condition of noise, the sparse expression solution of the MMV model with multiple observation vectors can pass through l 0 Norm minimization for solving
X=arg min||X|| 0 (17)
WhereinX satisfies the condition

ε is the allowable error;
in the solving process, if and only if the formulas (13) and (14) satisfy A p =A i And theta q =θ i X tintin matrix Ψ (f)', a q+(p-1)Q If the row is not zero, extracting information such as amplitude, phase and the like of a target echo signal from the non-zero row vector in the matrix, and obtaining information such as the rotation radius, the initial phase and the like of the target through formula conversion, namely realizing the extraction of the low-altitude target micro Doppler characteristic.
