The existing ultrasonic detection technology generally constructs an ultrasonic detection signal based on a form of a single waveform (pulse, sine wave with a plurality of periods, sine wave with frequency changing along with time, and the like) or a form of a modulation sequence (AM, PM, ASK, FSK, PSK modulation sequence, and the like), and realizes detection of an object to be detected by detecting the comparison between an echo of the ultrasonic detection signal and a local reference signal. Because the ultrasonic signal is influenced by factors such as distance, temperature, noise, interference, Doppler frequency offset and the like in the propagation process, the received signal has large uncontrollable distortion and fluctuation in the aspects of waveform form, amplitude and the like, the similarity with a local reference signal is degraded, even if a complex channel estimation means is adopted, the local reference signal is still obviously different from the received signal, and the local reference signal cannot timely respond to the instantaneous change of a channel, so the echo detection precision of the ultrasonic detection signal is low, and the error is large.

The present application proposes a method of ultrasonic detection of a transmitted reference modulation sequence, as shown in fig. 1, which in an exemplary embodiment comprises the steps of:
step S101: generating a series of baseband sequences and generating a detection baseband signal comprising a first detection sequence and a second detection sequence according to the baseband sequences;
wherein the duration of the first detection sequence and the duration of the second detection sequence are both T1, and the interval between the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence is T2; the number N1 of identical baseband code values in the first and second detection sequences is greater than a first threshold, or the number N2 of different identical baseband code values in the first and second detection sequences is greater than a first threshold.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a baseband signal BU, where the baseband signal BU includes a first detection sequence UT and a second detection sequence UR, and the duration of the first detection sequence UT and the duration of the second detection sequence UR are both T1, and the interval between the first detection sequence UT and the second detection sequence UR is T2. In this embodiment, the first detection sequence UT is a detection sequence, and the second detection sequence UR is a reference sequence, in other examples, the first detection sequence UT may be a reference sequence, and the second detection sequence UR may be a detection sequence.
In fig. 2, the first detection sequence UT and the second detection sequence UR may be generated in any manner based on a baseband sequence BC, and baseband code values of the same bits in the first detection sequence UT and the second detection sequence UR are the same, in other examples, the baseband code values of the same bits in the first detection sequence UT and the second detection sequence UR may be different, or the baseband code values of the same bits may be the same number N1 or the different number N2 is greater than a first threshold.
Step S102: modulating the detection baseband signal into a modulation signal of an ultrasonic frequency band, performing electro-acoustic conversion, and outputting the signal to a detected object;
as shown in fig. 2, the baseband signal BU is modulated to obtain a modulated signal U satisfying the ultrasonic frequency band. And (3) forming a transmitting wave after the detection signal U is subjected to electro-acoustic conversion, transmitting the transmitting wave to the object to be detected, and starting receiving detection at the same time of transmission. The modulation on the baseband signal BU may be any form of modulation, such as OOK, ASK, FSK, PSK, or the like. For convenience of illustration, the embodiment of the present application employs OOK modulation.
Step S103: receiving a reflection or transmission signal of the modulation signal, demodulating the reflection or transmission signal after performing sound-electricity conversion to obtain a baseband demodulation signal;
the transmission reference modulation sequence ultrasonic detection method of the embodiment of the application can be applied to a reflection method and a transmission method, so that the reflection or transmission signal is a reflection signal when the transmitted ultrasonic modulation signal meets the object to be detected or a transmission signal passing through the object to be detected. As shown in fig. 3, after receiving the echo reflected or transmitted signal E, demodulating the echo reflected or transmitted signal E to obtain a baseband demodulated signal BE, where the baseband demodulated signal BE includes an echo ET of the first detection sequence UT and an echo ER of the second detection sequence UR, and the echo ET and ER in the baseband demodulated signal BE may change with the baseband codes of the detection sequences UT and UR due to the fact that the ultrasonic signal is affected by factors such as distance, temperature, noise, interference, doppler frequency offset, and the like during the propagation process, but the detection sequences UT and UR are synchronous changes to generate the echoes ET and ER, so the corresponding relationship between the baseband codes in the echo ET and the echo ET is the same as that of UT and UR.
Step S104: extracting a first signal segment and a second signal segment from the baseband demodulated signal;
wherein the first signal segment and the second signal segment have the same duration T3; the interval time between the first signal segment and the second signal segment is T4, and T1+ T2 is T3+ T4; and after extraction is finished, shifting the baseband code by one bit to continuously extract the first signal segment and the second signal segment until the last baseband code of the baseband demodulation signal is extracted, wherein the first signal segment and the second signal segment extracted each time are a group of signal segments.
Step S105: acquiring the same number N3 or different number N4 of identical baseband code values in each group of the first signal segment and the second signal segment, and judging whether the reflection or transmission signals of the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence arrive according to the N3 or N4.
In a preferred example, when T1 is T3 and T2 is T4, the signal widths of the first and second signal segments are the same as those of the first and second detection sequences UT and UR, and the interval width between the first and second detection sequences UR is also the same, so that the echo ET of the first detection sequence UT and the echo ER of the second detection sequence UR can be extracted exactly in the extraction process of the first and second signal segments.
As shown in fig. 4, at the time of the nth extraction, the first signal segment extracts the echo ER, the second signal segment extracts the echo ET, then, by determining whether the number N3 of the same bit baseband codes in the first signal segment and the second signal segment is identical to N1, it can be determined whether the echo ET and the echo ER are extracted from the first signal segment and the second signal segment, in some examples, although the detection sequences UT and UR are varying synchronously to produce echoes ET and ER, however, deviations may occur, in which case the same number N3 of identical baseband codes in the echo ET and ER does not coincide with the same number N1 of identical baseband codes in the first and second detection sequences UT and UR, in this case, whether or not the echo ET and the echo ER are detected can be determined by determining the maximum value of N3 in which the same number of baseband codes of the same bit is present in the first signal segment and the second signal segment.
In some examples, the same or different numbers of identical baseband codes in the two end sequences may be calculated by calculating the same or different degrees of identical baseband codes in the two end sequences through a correlation calculation method instead of directly calculating the specific numbers thereof.
In other examples, the T3 may be greater than T1 or less than T1, if T1+ T2 is satisfied, that is, T3+ T4, it may be determined whether the echo ET and the echo ER are extracted according to the same or different numbers of same-bit baseband codes in the first signal segment and the second signal segment, and the accurate arrival time of the echo ET and the echo ER may be determined according to the maximum value of the same or different numbers M of the same-bit baseband codes, for example, if T3 is less than T1, the first maximum point at which M continuously reaches the maximum value is the starting point at which the second echo arrives, and if T3 is greater than T1, the last maximum point at which M continuously reaches the maximum value is the starting point at which the second echo arrives.
In the embodiment of the application, by transmitting the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence signals respectively used as the detection sequence and the reference sequence to the object to be detected, since the same or different numbers of baseband code values of the same bits of the first detection sequence are greater than the first threshold, and the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence are converted into the ultrasonic signals, and the changes of the signals tend to be the same after being influenced by the same distance, temperature, noise, interference, doppler frequency offset and other factors, it is possible to overcome the influence of the distance, temperature, noise, interference, doppler frequency offset and other factors on the ultrasonic waves by simultaneously extracting multiple sets of the first signal segment and the second signal segment in the echo and judging whether the reflected or transmitted signals of the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence arrive according to the same or different numbers of baseband code values of the same bits of the first signal segment and the second signal segment, the reflected or transmitted signal of the ultrasonic signal is detected more accurately.
In an exemplary embodiment, when T1 ≦ T3 and T2 ≧ T4, as shown in fig. 5, the same number N3 or different number N4 of baseband code values that are the same in each set of the first signal segment and the second signal segment is obtained, and whether the reflected or transmitted signal of the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence arrives according to N3 or N4 is determined, including the following steps:
step S501: acquiring a first translation amount La and a second translation amount Lb;
specifically, when N1 is greater than a first threshold, obtaining a first shift amount La of the first signal segment and the second signal segment in the baseband demodulated signal each time N3 rises from below the second threshold to above the second threshold, and a second shift amount Lb of N3 falls from above the second threshold to below the second threshold, where each first shift amount La and the first second shift amount Lb that is greater than the first shift amount La form a group of shift amounts;
acquiring a first shift amount La in the baseband demodulation signal of the first signal segment and the second signal segment every time the N4 rises from being lower than a second threshold to being higher than the second threshold, and a second shift amount Lb in the baseband demodulation signal of the N4 falls from being higher than the second threshold to being lower than the second threshold in each group of signal segments when the number of the N2 is larger than the first threshold;
step S502: and calculating the transition time t of each echo arrival of the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence in the baseband demodulation signal according to a formula t (La/2+ Lb/2) × TBE + delta, wherein TBE is a sequence symbol clock period, and delta is a demodulation timing and a compensation value for detecting a fixed offset.
As shown in fig. 6, the bottom graph in fig. 6 is a graph of the number N3 of identical baseband code values in the first signal segment and the second signal segment, and it can be seen from the graph that N3 reaches peaks at two moments, and since the intensity value of each peak may not be consistent, the present application captures each peak by determining two adjacent points reaching the second threshold and according to the average value of the abscissa values of the two points.
The arrival time of the echo calculated by the above formula T is the arrival time of the echo ER, and the arrival time of the echo ET is equal to T + T1+ T3.
As shown in fig. 7, in an exemplary embodiment, extracting a first signal segment and a second signal segment from the baseband demodulated signal includes:
step S701: extracting the baseband demodulation signal through a first time window and a second time window from the starting time of the baseband demodulation signal, wherein the duration of the first time window and the duration of the second time window are T3, the interval time between the first time window and the second time window is T4, the signal extracted by the first time window is a first signal segment, and the signal extracted by the second time window is a second signal segment;
step S702: and after extraction is finished, translating the first time window and the second time window by taking a clock period as a step length, and extracting signals in the current first time window and the current second time window until the end time of the baseband demodulation signal is extracted.
In another exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, extracting the first signal segment and the second signal segment from the baseband demodulated signal comprises:
step S801: shifting and registering the baseband demodulation signal;
step S802: two sections of signals with register addresses of d- [ (d + DT3) -1] and [ (d + DT3) + DT4] - { [ (d + DT3) + DT4] + DT3-1 ] are selected for extraction, wherein d is the register address selected at the first position, the time length corresponding to DT3 is T3, the time length corresponding to DT4 is T4, and the two sections of extracted signals are the first signal segment and the second signal segment respectively; in this embodiment, d may be 1, and since the echoes of the first detection sequence and the second detection sequence are not received immediately in the reflected or transmitted signal, d may also be another set value, that is, the first bit of the selected register address may not be the first baseband code in the received reflected or transmitted signal.
Step S803: and after extraction is finished, carrying out shift register operation, and extracting the signal in the current register address again after each translation step until the translation amount reaches the upper limit.
In the embodiment of the present application, the set threshold may be a fixed value or a value controlled externally. The sequences may be formed in any manner. The modulation can be any form of modulation mode, such as OOK, ASK, FSK, PSK, and the like.
