Detailed Description
In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a target tracking and ranging method for a radar level gauge, in which echoes received by the radar level gauge are mixed and then processed by band-selection fourier transform to track a target object in real time, so as to achieve the purpose of ranging. The method comprises the following steps:
step S110: and transmitting a frequency modulation continuous wave signal vector, and receiving an echo vector containing a target object and an interfering object.
Step S120: and multiplying the received echo vector by the transmitted signal vector to carry out frequency mixing, and then carrying out first low-pass filtering processing to obtain a difference frequency signal.
In this embodiment, in step S110, the transmitted frequency modulated continuous wave signal vector is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave whose transmission frequency changes continuously; in step S120, the acquired echo vector is multiplied by the transmitted signal vector to perform frequency mixing, and then the first low-pass filtering processing mode is analog signal filtering, so as to obtain a difference frequency signal. The difference frequency signal is obtained by obtaining the echo vector with the difference frequency signal after frequency mixing, and the signals such as the echo vector, the difference frequency signal and the like are analog signals after first low-pass filtering processing.
Furthermore, the radar level gauge transmits a frequency modulated continuous wave FMCW through the transmitting antenna, and the frequency modulated continuous wave FMCW is a high frequency electromagnetic wave with continuously changing frequency, and the frequency modulation mode includes but is not limited to triangular wave, sawtooth wave, coded modulation or noise frequency modulation. In this embodiment, the radar level gauge continuously transmits high-frequency electromagnetic waves with constantly changing radio frequency within a sweep period, so that a certain frequency difference exists between an echo vector reflected by a target object or an interfering object and a transmission signal vector, and distance information between the target object and the radar level gauge can be generally obtained through the frequency difference.
Step S130: and AD sampling is carried out on the difference frequency signal to obtain a discrete time signal sequence of the difference frequency signal.
Step S140: and performing fast Fourier transform on the discrete time signal sequence to obtain a discrete frequency spectrum of the discrete time signal sequence, and drawing a power spectrogram according to the discrete frequency spectrum.
The discrete spectrum expression of the discrete fourier transform obtained in this embodiment is:

and WN=e-j2π/N
Where k is a continuous signal of the output time domain after frequency mixing, x0(n) obtaining a time-domain discrete signal sequence for AD sampling, X0(k) Is a discrete spectrum of a discrete fourier transform.
In the step, after the time domain discrete signal sequence is subjected to fast Fourier transform, the frequency of the time domain discrete signal sequence is calculated, and the frequency is in direct proportion to the distance between the radar level gauge and the target object.
Step S150: and finding out the peak position corresponding to the target object according to the shape of the power spectrogram, and performing signal frequency shift by taking the peak position as a band selection center of band selection Fourier transform.
In this embodiment, for x0(n) is selected from
Figure BDA0003216191070000051
Complex modulation (frequency shift) is carried out, and the sequence after the frequency shift of the obtained signal is as follows:

in the principle of frequency shifting according to the discrete Fourier transform, in the sequence x (n)Discrete spectra X (k), and x0(n) is in the relationship X (k) ═ X0(k+N0)。
Step S160: and performing second low-pass filtering processing on the discrete time signal sequence after the signal frequency shift to obtain a filtering signal vector, and resampling the filtering signal vector.
In step S160, the discrete-time signal sequence after signal frequency shift is subjected to a second low-pass filtering process, and an anti-aliasing filtering process technique is adopted.
In this embodiment, an anti-aliasing filtering technique is used to filter out the frequency band signal to be analyzed. And the second low-pass filtering process is used to filter a discrete-time signal sequence of the digital signal. Assuming a magnification of D, the second low-pass filtered normalized cutoff frequency is 1/2D, and the filtered output is y (k) ═ x (k) h (k) ═ 0,1,2,. N-1, where when h (k) is the frequency response of the ideal low-pass filtering, the filtered output is

In this step, after frequency shift and second low-pass filtering, the signal frequency band is narrowed, in this embodiment, selective sampling and resampling are performed, the received difference frequency signal is sampled once again every D points, and the sequence expression after resampling is as follows:
Figure BDA0003216191070000054
step S170: and performing fast Fourier transform on the re-sampled filter signal, calculating an abscissa value of the peak position on the power spectrum, and calculating the distance from the radar level meter to a target object by using the abscissa value.
In this step, fast fourier transform is performed again on the resampled N-point complex sequence to obtain N spectral lines, so that the resolution is increased by D times, and the spectral function of r (m) is:
Figure BDA0003216191070000055
the amplified spectral line is mapped back to the original actual spectral line position
Figure BDA0003216191070000061
The minimum scale of the abscissa value of the peak mapped back is 1/D, if the abscissa mapped back to the frequency spectrum is D, D may not be an integer, and the distance of the target object measured after D is multiplied by a coefficient.
S180: and (5) taking the crest abscissa value as the crest position selected next time, and repeating the steps S150 to S170 so as to continuously track the moving and changing target object.
Further, the abscissa value of the peak is multiplied by the coefficient representing the distance of the target object, and the obtained abscissa value of the peak is used as the peak position selected next time in this embodiment, so as to achieve the purpose of target tracking and ranging.
In the embodiment, the frequency spectrum is thinned, the calculation resolution is improved, and the target object is tracked by selecting and selecting the characteristic of amplifying a part of the frequency spectrum.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of the structure of various power spectra is shown.
Referring to FIG. 2(a), the power spectrum trend line shape of the echo received by the radar level gauge is shown without disturbance and without target.
Referring to FIG. 2(b), the power spectrum trend line shape of the echo received by the radar level gauge in the absence of disturbance, in the presence of a target object.
Referring to FIG. 2(c), after a band-selection Fourier transform, the power spectrum trend line shape of the echo received by the radar level gauge. The local amplification of the power spectrum can more accurately find the peak position and obtain the abscissa value, so that the calculation resolution is improved, and the position of band selection amplification can be easily determined by only one peak under the condition of no interference.
Referring to fig. 2(d), the shape of the trend line of the power spectrum after band selection amplification is shown.
Referring to FIG. 2(e), the power spectrum trend line shape of the echo received by the radar level gauge in the presence of a disturbance and a target object. In the schematic diagram of the shape of the trend line of the power spectrum of the radar level meter, the broken line part is interference, and the interference part may exist or may not exist, so that the amplification area cannot be determined due to interference information, and the position of the peak cannot be obtained, and the position of the first peak to be amplified can be judged by drawing the power spectrum.
Referring to FIG. 2(f), a schematic diagram of the power spectrum trend line shape of the echo received by the radar level gauge in case of a moving liquid level. The liquid level will move, but not much, and the liquid level peak after moving is still within the band selection by taking the last band selection as the center.
Referring to fig. 2(g), the shape of the trend line of the power spectrum is shown after the liquid level is shifted and the band selection is amplified. And calculating the position of the wave peak after frequency shift, and selecting the band by taking the position of the wave peak after frequency shift as the center in the next band selection, wherein the wave peak after actual frequency shift is close to the wave peak after frequency shift and still must be in the band selection, and the band selection is continuously and circularly performed, so that the change of the target can be continuously tracked by taking the position of the wave peak at the last time as the center. Once band selection is started, original data can be directly subjected to frequency shift and band selection without calculating an original power spectrum, and the calculation amount required by the first fast Fourier transform step in band selection Fourier transform is reduced.
Of course, the situation is that the interfering object and the target object are relatively far away, and in addition, when the peaks of the target object and the interfering object are close to each other, because the liquid level is continuous and stable, and the interfering object does not appear sometimes, the two peaks are close to each other, so that the error caused by the two peaks is not large, and the two peaks are within an acceptable range in a long-term view.
