Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electronic information, in particular to an array signal analog decoherence method.
Background
The digital phased array radar has the capability of receiving and transmitting beam electric scanning, the beam scheduling is extremely flexible, multi-target interception and tracking can be easily realized, and the digital phased array radar has strong anti-jamming capability and target detection and identification self-adaption capability. The scale of the existing digital radar array is larger and larger, and the radar power and the flexibility of radar resource scheduling are also larger and larger.
For a digital array radar, the synthesis of transmitting beams at different azimuth and pitch angles in space is completed by configuring initial phases and transmitting time of different transmitting units during transmitting, and because the number of the array units is large, the energy of the beams after the spatial synthesis is large during transmitting; meanwhile, the transmitted beam direction is determined by the initial phases of all the transmitting units of the array surface, and within a certain space range, the beam scanning airspace is completed without mechanically rotating the radar, and the beam scanning can be completed only by configuring the initial phases of the transmitting units of the array surface, so that the transmitted beam electric scanning is realized. During receiving, because the wave beams are completed by weighting the data of all receiving channels in certain amplitude and phase, simultaneous multi-wave beams including a main wave beam and an auxiliary wave beam can be received, and the anti-interference and target detection capabilities of the radar are greatly improved. In general, in the process of receive beam synthesis, it is desirable to accumulate useful signals as much as possible, and simultaneously, it is desirable to accumulate noise as little as possible, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the synthesized signals is as large as possible. If the array surface has N receiving channels to participate in the receiving beam synthesis, and the received signal noise of all the channels is assumed to be uncorrelated, the synthesized noise is:
wherein σ tptal For the total noise, σ, after beam-forming 1 ,...,σ N Noise for channels 1 to N, where σ total Much less than the direct superposition of all channel noise.
Assuming that the useful signals of all channels are perfectly synthesized, the synthesized signal is:
S total =s 1 +s 2 +s 3 +...+s N
wherein S total Is the total signal after beam forming, s 1 ,...,s N For the signals of channels 1 to N, the signal-to-noise ratio of the synthesized signal is:
it can be seen that during the synthesis of the receive beam, the signal energy is normally accumulated, and the noise energy accumulation is smaller than that of the direct superposition, so after the signal synthesis, the SNR should be beneficial theoretically.
However, in the current practical test of the digital phased array radar, the signal noise after beam synthesis is far greater than sigma total The SNR gains far from the theoretical calculation, mainly because the noise of different analog receiving channels cannot be considered as completeUncorrelated, on the other hand, inter-channel signal phase noise is partially correlated due to the presence of common power and ground, common local oscillator signals, and the like. Because the array surface is large, the power supply and the ground are generally isolated by adopting a multi-stage power supply, most of the power supplies are distributed power supplies finally adopted by the array surface transmitting and receiving unit, in addition, the influence of the ground of the power supply is generally signals with lower frequency, the processing is reasonable, and the influence on radio frequency signals is limited, so that the correlation of the phase noise of the analog radio frequency signals among channels mainly comes from common local oscillation signals.
Thus each channel switches to a source of a different frequency local oscillator at the time of wavefront reception (the local oscillators differ in frequency from one another and, respectively, produce phase noise that is decorrelated). Reduce the coherence of signal phase noise among channels, and improve the gain of the wave beam synthesis of the array surface for a single pulse signal. For single-channel multi-pulse signals, the gain of signal accumulation between pulses can be improved by adopting a mode of switching local vibration sources with different frequencies between different received pulses.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks in the background art, an object of the present invention is to provide an array signal analog decoherence method, in which, when the array radar receives signals, due to the fact that the noise of different analog receiving channels has a large program correlation, the SNR does not obtain a certain benefit when receiving beam synthesis. The correlation of the phase noise of the analog radio frequency signals among the channels is mainly derived from common local oscillation signals. Therefore, the noise correlation of the local oscillation signals among the channels of the table can be directly improved. Each channel is switched to a different frequency dither source at the time of wavefront reception. Reduce the coherence of signal phase noise among channels, and improve the gain of the wave beam synthesis of the array surface for a single pulse signal. For single-channel multi-pulse signals, the gain of signal accumulation between pulses can be improved by adopting a mode of switching local vibration sources with different frequencies between different received pulses.

secondly, performing coherent elimination processing between local oscillation signals, wherein the local oscillation signals are coherent;
thirdly, each channel frequency conversion module is connected with two local oscillator signals and is switched into the frequency conversion module through an analog switch;
fourthly, during transmission, the frequency conversion module transmits a local oscillator, the local oscillator is the same for all transmission channels, the frequency is the same, and the local oscillator is output from the frequency source, amplified and distributed to all channels;
fifthly, during receiving, the local oscillator input of the frequency conversion module is switched to a receiving local oscillator through a switch, the local oscillator frequencies of all receiving channels are different, and the receiving local oscillator directly comes from a frequency source;
and sixthly, receiving the intermediate frequency signal, digitalizing by an ADC (analog to digital converter), filtering by digital down-conversion and extracting to a baseband, and using different digital local oscillators to match the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal.
Further, in the first step, different local oscillation sources are adopted for local oscillation signal transmission and reception, and the local oscillation sources are a group of spot frequency signals with different frequencies.
Further, all local oscillation signals with different frequencies generated by the local oscillation source are coherent signals.
Further, in the third step, the local oscillation signals are a transmit local oscillation and a receive local oscillation.
Furthermore, when the array surface is transmitted in the fourth step, all channels use the same local oscillator signal with the same frequency, so that the same radio frequency carrier frequency is realized, and beam space synthesis is ensured.
Furthermore, the array plane in the fifth step uses a local oscillation signal with a frequency different from that of the transmission time when receiving, and each analog receiving channel receives the local oscillation signal differently.
Further, the if signal in the sixth step should fall into the if filter band.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
when the array radar array antenna is used, the array radar receives, and due to the fact that noise of different analog receiving channels has great program correlation, SNR (signal to noise ratio) does not obtain certain benefit when receiving beam synthesis. The correlation of the phase noise of the analog radio frequency signals among the channels mainly comes from the common local oscillation signals. Therefore, the noise correlation of the local oscillation signals among the channels of the table can be directly improved. Each channel is switched to a different frequency dither source at the time of wavefront reception. Reduce the coherence of signal phase noise among channels, and improve the gain of the wave beam synthesis of the array surface for a single pulse signal. For single-channel multi-pulse signals, the gain of signal accumulation between pulses can be improved by adopting a mode of switching local vibration sources with different frequencies between different received pulses.

An analog decorrelation method for array signals, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, includes the steps of:
firstly, generating a group of local oscillation signals with different frequencies in a frequency source, wherein the local oscillation frequencies have certain deviation, and ensuring that the intermediate frequency signals after frequency conversion of all channels are within a designed intermediate frequency bandwidth; when the local oscillation signal is transmitted and received, different local oscillation sources are adopted, and the local oscillation sources are a group of point frequency signals with different frequencies. All local oscillation signals with different frequencies generated by the local oscillation source are coherent signals.
Secondly, performing coherent removal processing between local oscillation signals, wherein the local oscillation signals are coherent;
thirdly, each channel frequency conversion module is connected with two local oscillator signals and is switched into the frequency conversion module through an analog switch; the local oscillation signals are a transmitting local oscillation and a receiving local oscillation.
Fourthly, during transmission, the frequency conversion module transmits a local oscillator, the local oscillator is the same for all transmission channels, the frequency is the same, and the local oscillator is output from the frequency source, amplified and distributed to all channels; when the array surface is transmitted, all channels use the same local oscillator signal with the same frequency, the same radio frequency carrier frequency is realized, and beam space synthesis is ensured.
Fifthly, during receiving, the local oscillator input of the frequency conversion module is switched to a receiving local oscillator through a switch, the local oscillator frequencies of all receiving channels are different, and the receiving local oscillator directly comes from a frequency source; the local oscillation signals with different frequencies from those in transmitting are used in receiving of the array surface, and the local oscillation signals received by each analog receiving channel are different.
And sixthly, receiving the intermediate frequency signal, digitalizing by an ADC (analog to digital converter), performing digital down-conversion filtering and extracting to a baseband, and using different digital local oscillators to match the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal, wherein the intermediate frequency signal is required to fall into an intermediate frequency filter band.
Where LO _ TX is used during the transmit period and a separate LO _ RX is used for each channel during the receive period, as shown in fig. 1.
After the digital phased array radar transmits wave speed, a target echo signal is received by an array formed by a plurality of receiving channels, then data of each receiving channel is weighted according to a certain amplitude phase to form a receiving wave beam, and the radar intercepts target information from the receiving wave beam.
Phase noise coherence of the analog channel signal can weaken the digital phased array combining gain and the accumulation gain. The non-coherent source of the analog channel signal noise generally originates mainly from the local oscillator signal. Since the local oscillation signals are from the same local oscillation source during receiving frequency conversion, and are generally distributed to all the receiving and transmitting channels after active power division amplification, the phase noise of the signals of all the receiving channels is coherent, which results in the loss of receiving gain during digital wave velocity synthesis; in addition, when multi-pulse target echo accumulation is realized, particularly when an airborne radar accumulates low-altitude low-speed small target echoes, echo signals of targets are weak, strong clutter or interference signals exist, and the coherence of multi-time target echo phase noise of a receiving channel and the coherence of target echo phase noise among multiple channels weaken the gain of signal accumulation. The invention realizes that different local vibration sources are adopted to reduce the coherence of channel signals during receiving when the wave beam of the array surface is transmitted and received. All channels transmitted by the wave front wave beam adopt the same local oscillation source, and the requirement on the phase noise correlation of signals is not high during transmission. Each channel is switched to a respective local oscillator source during reception of the wavefront, the local oscillator source frequency of each receiving channel is different and is generated in advance in the frequency source (the local oscillator sources are different in frequency and are generated respectively, and phase noise is decorrelated). The structure can reduce the coherence of signal phase noise among channels, and improves the gain of the wave beam synthesis of the front surface for a single pulse signal. For single-channel multi-pulse signals, the gain of signal accumulation between pulses is improved by adopting a mode of switching local vibration sources with different frequencies between different received pulses.
