Description

Wide zero-notch beam forming method based on compensation of antenna directional diagram errors
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of signal processing of a ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar, which can be used for suppressing sea clutter of the ship-borne ground wave radar in the background of antenna directional diagram errors.
Background
The ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar is a new system radar, the working frequency range is 3MHz-30MHz, compared with the conventional radar such as a microwave radar, the radar has the advantages of over-the-horizon detection of targets below the horizon, anti-stealth, long early warning time, anti-radiation missile resistance, stable equipment, strong anti-interference capability and the like, and plays an important role in the military field of all countries in the world at present.
For a ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar, the movement of a ship platform can cause the spectrum of a first-order sea clutter to be broadened, so that a ship target with a lower speed is influenced by the broadened spectrum and submerged in the sea clutter, and the information of the target cannot be accurately estimated. The first-order sea clutter spectrum is related to the movement speed of the ship, so that the direction of the sea clutter can be deduced relatively through the movement speed of the ship, and the problem can be converted into the problem of inhibiting the clutter with the known direction. Aiming at the problem, national scholars carry out extensive research, and the research on target detection and estimation of a ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar [ D ]. Harbin industry university, 2001. an Orthogonal Weighting method (OW) is introduced, so that first-order sea clutter is restrained; sun M, Xie J, Hao Z, et al. target Detection and Estimation for Shipborne HFSWR Based on Objective Projection [ C ]// 201211 th International conference on Signal Processing (ICSP 2012).0. then, aiming at the deficiency of the orthogonal weighting method, an Oblique Projection algorithm (OP) is introduced, and the information of the target Signal is retained to a greater extent while the fixed azimuth clutter is suppressed.
For the traditional ship-based high-frequency ground wave radar, due to the limitation of the antenna arrangement position and the actual environment, the interference of antenna directional diagram errors can occur, the antenna directional diagram can be distorted due to the errors, and the work can not be normally finished. The traditional clutter suppression algorithm such as the orthogonal weighting method and the oblique projection algorithm has a deteriorated effect under the background of antenna directional diagram errors, and cannot sufficiently suppress the broadened sea clutter submerging the ship. In addition, since the amplitude-phase characteristics of the antenna and the channel are slowly changed with the increase of the using time, the actual error of the antenna array may deviate from the original error measurement value, and therefore, the difficulty of correcting the directional diagram error of the antenna is further increased.
When the antenna arrays are arranged into uniform linear arrays along two sides of the ship board and the antennas are not influenced by directional diagram errors, directional diagrams (including null points) synthesized by the antenna arrays are symmetrical about the antenna arrays. The radar array can realize the simultaneous suppression of the sea clutter from both sides of the antenna array. When the antenna directional diagram error exists, the directional diagram synthesized by the antenna array is not symmetrical about the antenna array any more. The traditional zero point forming algorithm can only inhibit a clutter source at one side of the antenna, and the clutter at the other side enters the antenna to influence detection.
Array errors have a non-negligible effect on the performance of the array antenna. At present, the research of various national scholars focuses on correcting and analyzing array position errors and mutual coupling errors, and the most common antenna directional diagram errors in actual engineering are rarely researched, so that a method for correcting the antenna directional diagram errors is needed, and the widened first-order sea clutter in the carrier-borne high-frequency ground wave radar can be suppressed.

The following examples were used to demonstrate the beneficial effects of the present invention:
the first embodiment is as follows:
the method for forming the wide zero notch beam based on the compensation of the antenna pattern error is implemented by the following steps:
the simulation parameters are shown in the following table:
TABLE 1 shipboard HFSWR System parameter settings
TABLE 2 simulation target parameter settings
The method comprises the following steps: and measuring the antenna directional diagram of the array in an active correction mode to obtain antenna directional diagram error data r (theta) of each angle of the antenna. The obtained measured antenna amplitude error and phase error are shown in fig. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h and fig. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4 h.
Step two: the method comprises the steps of performing pulse compression and coherent accumulation processing on echo data of the ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar to obtain three-dimensional spectral data of a channel multiplied by Doppler multiplied by distance, and recording the three-dimensional spectral data as CDR, wherein the size of the three-dimensional spectral data is 8 multiplied by 512 multiplied by 120.
Step three: correcting the original array guide vector through the acquired error data r (theta) to obtain an interfered projection matrixFurther obtaining the normalized correction orthogonal weighting method weight coefficientThe corrected weight coefficients and the corresponding antenna pattern pairs of the conventional orthogonal weighting method under the error environment are shown in fig. 5.
Step four: and near the direction of clutter formation, the width of the wide null is delta theta to be 2 degrees, the number of the reconstructed nulls after improvement is K to be 3, and the reconstructed array guide vector replaces the original array guide vector in the step three to obtain a wide null trapped wave beam formation method weight coefficient W. The antenna pattern pairs corresponding to the wide null notch beamforming method and the conventional orthogonal weighting method under an error environment are shown in fig. 6.
Step five: the CDR data are processed by utilizing the weight coefficient of the obtained wide zero notch beam forming method, and the processing result of the wide zero notch beam forming method on the echo data of the carrier-borne high-frequency ground wave radar is obtained, the comparison of the AD spectrum cross section of the method disclosed by the invention and the RD spectrum cross section of the traditional orthogonal weighting method are shown in figures 7a and 7b, and the comparison of the corresponding target Doppler cross section of the method disclosed by the invention is shown in figure 9.
The simulation result proves that:
as can be seen from fig. 5, the target azimuth is 120 °, the azimuth of the sea clutter corresponding to the front of the radar is 60 °, and the azimuth of the sea clutter corresponding to the back of the radar is 300 °. According to the figure, under the error condition, the antenna directional diagram is distorted in the traditional orthogonal weighting method, and the null cannot be formed at the position corresponding to the clutter; the corrected orthogonal weighting method effectively estimates the orientation of 120 degrees of the target signal, and forms nulls at 60 degrees and 300 degrees of the two sea clutter orientations, so that clutter can be effectively filtered.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the target azimuth is 120 °, the azimuth of the sea clutter corresponding to the front of the radar is 60 °, and the azimuth of the sea clutter corresponding to the back of the radar is 300 °. As can be seen, the wide null notch beamforming method has wider nulls than the conventional orthogonal weighting method; when influenced by the antenna directional diagram error, the traditional orthogonal weighting method fails, and the wide null forming method can still form wide nulls in the corresponding clutter azimuth, so that the purpose of suppressing the clutter is achieved.
See fig. 7a, 7b and fig. 8a, 8 b. As can be seen from the figure, the traditional orthogonal weighting method cannot suppress the broadened sea clutter in the antenna directional diagram error environment, and the target is submerged in the sea clutter; the method provided by the invention can inhibit the sea clutter under the error condition, and the target is obviously exposed.
Looking at fig. 9, calculated results of inhibition for both methods are shown in table 3. As can be seen from fig. 9 and table 3, in an error environment, the conventional orthogonal weighting method has an effect equivalent to that before suppression, but the method of the present invention greatly improves two indexes, namely, the average power of the sea clutter and the signal-to-noise ratio, under the condition of having a small influence on the target peak power, thereby proving the effectiveness of the present invention. The method for forming the wide zero-notch beam based on the compensation antenna directional diagram error is used for processing the echo data of the ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar, and the problem that the traditional orthogonal weighting method cannot suppress the broadened sea clutter under the error condition is solved.
