Description

Radar system and method for differential interference double-station synchronous scanning high-resolution imaging
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radar detection of airport runway deformation, and particularly relates to a radar system and a method for differential interference double-station synchronous scanning high-resolution imaging.
Background
The takeoff and landing of the airplane are the most concerned stages of flight safety, the airport runway is an important facility for the takeoff and landing of the airplane, the safety is the most important in the management of the airport flight area, and no foreign matter or runway deformation can be generated on the runway so as not to influence the flight safety.
On 30.9.2009, FAA officially released a consultation notice of "airport foreign body detection facility" (AC No: 150/5220-24). In the advisory notice, it is clear that an airport foreign object is a foreign substance, debris or object that may damage the aircraft or system. Foreign objects that may damage the aircraft, such as metal parts, plastic cloth, chippings, paper dust, leaves, carcasses of animals, birds, etc., may all be referred to as airport foreign objects.
The aircraft is very fragile to foreign matters, the engine sucks foreign matters to possibly cause air parking, the screws, metal stones and the like can possibly cause tire damage and even burst, the foreign matters burst to possibly damage important parts such as the aircraft body, the engine or an oil tank, a hydraulic pipe and the like, so that economic loss is caused, and safety accidents are caused in serious cases. In 2000, the French aviation coordination and the airplane crash were caused by metal fragments falling from another airplane, and the accident caused 113 people to be in distress. Collaborate with the aircraft so the accident was completely retired 10 months in 2003.
At present, foreign objects on airfield runways and runway deformation detection mainly adopt manual visual inspection, infrared and visible light and radar detection technologies. However, manual visual inspection of the airport has some disadvantages, such as shutdown of the runway and reduction of airport capacity; the foreign matters and deformation of the airport are not found by the patrolman due to the poor weather condition; the airport foreign matter event and runway deformation analysis and tracing management cannot be carried out, and the adverse factors of low efficiency, low detection rate and complex airport scheduling exist. The infrared and visible light are greatly influenced by weather, and the detection of tiny targets is difficult.
Different from infrared light and visible light, the millimeter wave has a certain penetrating effect on cloud and rain atmosphere, is slightly influenced by weather, can work all day long, and has the advantages of large radar scanning coverage, high imaging resolution, high weak and small target detection rate, high scanning efficiency and the like. Currently, there are 4 international main runway foreign body automatic detection and identification systems, which are respectively a Tarsier system developed in the uk, a FODetect system developed in israel, a FODFinder system developed in the usa and an IFerret system developed in singapore, and the systems of these companies respectively or comprehensively adopt infrared/visible light and microwave radar technologies.
Among them, Tarsier1100(T1100) developed by QinetiQ corporation, uk is the first airport foreign body automatic radar detection system worldwide. The Tarsier system adopts FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) system radar and works in the W frequency band (94.5 GHz). The system adopts a tower structure to scan the airport runway in a sector or 360 degrees, the number of radars in the system is small, and the scanning efficiency is high; however, in this system, the azimuth resolution is limited by the radar beam width, and the resolution is low.
The FODdetect system was developed by Xsight corporation. The system consists of a plurality of detection units arranged along a runway. Each detection unit consists of a millimeter wave radar (77GHz) and a camera device, and all the units work cooperatively to monitor the foreign matters on the runway of the whole airport. By adopting the video identification technology, the detection result can be confirmed after the millimeter wave radar detects the airport foreign matter, so that the false alarm probability is greatly reduced. The system can borrow runway lamp positions, does not need special infrastructure and has high scanning efficiency; however, the azimuth resolution is limited by the radar beam width and is low.
The FOD Finder system was developed by the company Trex Enterprises in the United states. The vehicle-mounted mobile GPS system is characterized in that the vehicle-mounted mobile GPS system can move on a vehicle, and comprises a radar, a camera system and a GPS positioning system. The radar is arranged in a radar cover of the vehicle roof, and adopts a millimeter wave band, and the working frequency is between 78 and 81 GHz. The system can be moved, but the runway needs to be closed when in use, so that the take-off and landing efficiency of the airport is reduced.
The ifrret developed by Stratech, singapore is a set of video detection systems. The detection of the airport foreign matter is realized by a camera and image processing software. However, this system is not a radar system and has weather limitations.

Wherein the preset target is any position area on the airport runway.
Replacing the preset target with a position area containing foreign matters on the airport runway; based on the above method process, comparing the airport runway image containing the foreign object with the airport runway image without the foreign object, the distribution position of the foreign object and the size information thereof can be obtained.
The method of the invention uses a main coherent millimeter wave radar and an auxiliary coherent millimeter wave radar to form a double-station synchronous scanning high-resolution millimeter wave imaging radar system on a main elevated track and an auxiliary elevated track at two ends of an airport runway respectively; the two main coherent millimeter wave radars and the auxiliary coherent millimeter wave radar respectively utilize the large-bandwidth signals to realize high resolution in the length direction or the distance direction of the airport runway to obtain a distance direction image; realizing beam scanning on respective elevated tracks by utilizing translation to form a synthetic aperture so as to improve the resolution along the width direction or the azimuth direction of the airport runway and obtain an azimuth direction image; generating an airport runway two-dimensional image from the obtained airport runway distance direction image and the airport runway azimuth direction image; and comparing the two-dimensional image of the airport runway with the initial image of the airport runway, and judging whether the airport runway is deformed or not according to the comparison result.

The phase difference value of the airport fixing facility in the multi-scanning imaging is 0, and after a foreign object exists on an airport runway and the airport runway deforms, the phase of the obtained radar image is obviously different from the phase of the radar image when the foreign object does not exist and the radar image does not deform before. The difference in phase enables the phase change caused by foreign objects and deformation to be highlighted in the radar phase image through difference and accumulation processing, and the amplitude image is comprehensively researched and judged, so that the target can be further identified and detected.
