Description

Multi-unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative direct positioning method based on passive synthetic aperture
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radio positioning, and particularly provides a multi-unmanned-aerial-vehicle cooperative direct positioning method based on a passive synthetic aperture, aiming at a multi-target positioning scene based on a plurality of moving unmanned aerial vehicles.
Background
As is known, radio signal detection and positioning have very important significance for target discovery and situation perception thereof, and space-based detection and positioning systems play irreplaceable benefits. With the development of the avionics equipment being unmanned, the unmanned reconnaissance plane becomes an important supplementary and enhancement means for reconnaissance of satellites and manned reconnaissance planes. Compared with a reconnaissance satellite, the reconnaissance satellite system has the characteristics of low cost, flexible control of reconnaissance regions and the like; compared with a manned scout, the unmanned scout has the capability of continuous scout day and night without considering the problems of fatigue, casualties and the like of pilots, and particularly shows the superiority when the scout is carried out in important regions which are strictly protected by enemies or under the condition that the manned scout is difficult to access. Under the current situation of emphasizing hidden attacks and hard kills, passive positioning technology based on unmanned aerial vehicle platforms will play an increasingly important role.
However, although the unmanned aerial vehicle reconnaissance equipment has the characteristics of flexibility and freedom, the unmanned aerial vehicle reconnaissance equipment can only rely on an antenna array with the smallest aperture as possible to realize reconnaissance positioning due to the small volume and the light loading capacity, so that the problems of limited accuracy, insufficient resolution and the like exist in target positioning. In contrast, the invention introduces a passive synthetic aperture technology to virtually expand a small aperture array into a large aperture array. The passive synthetic aperture technology equivalently moves coherent signals received by a moving array in different periods to the same reference period, so that spliced signals in each period are equivalent to the synthetic aperture of a newly added array aperture in the reference period. In addition, this patent utilizes the time delay inequality information between the multimachine received signal, further expands array aperture, can effectively promote precision and the resolving power to multi-target location under the limited condition in small-size motion unmanned aerial vehicle platform array aperture.
On the other hand, in the existing unmanned aerial vehicle positioning system, acquired digital signals are transmitted back to a rear computing center through an unmanned aerial vehicle gateway, positioning and resolving of targets are completed by the computing center, and the computing center adopts a two-step estimation and positioning mode, namely, positioning parameters such as angles are extracted from signals transmitted back by all unmanned aerial vehicles, and then according to information such as positions and speeds of the unmanned aerial vehicles, a positioning equation is established to resolve position information of the targets from the parameters. According to the information theory, a certain uncertainty is introduced into a processing loop from the original data to the final estimation result, so that information loss is caused, the positioning performance is affected, especially when multiple targets exist, data association or human intervention is also needed, and the positioning error and the processing time are further increased. In this respect, the patent introduces a (single step) direct localization approach, whose basic idea is to directly obtain the target location from the original signal samples without estimating other intermediate observations. Compared with the traditional two-step positioning method, the single-step positioning technology has the advantages of high estimation precision, strong resolving power, no need of data association and the like.

To verify the effect of the present invention, the following specific examples are performed:
as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of 2 examples of object location. Assuming that the position coordinates of the target are (10km, -10km) and (0km, 20km), the existing 3 unmanned aerial vehicles position the target, the initial position coordinates are (30km, -30km), (30km ) and (-30km, 30km), the speed is 70m/s, along the direction of an X axis, each unmanned aerial vehicle is provided with a 3-element uniform linear array, the time domain expansion factor of the array data is 2, the signal bandwidth is 0.3kHz, each unmanned aerial vehicle collects 50 segments of signals, and the duration of each segment of signals is about 40 ms. The performance of the cooperative direct positioning method disclosed by the patent is compared with the performance of the traditional direction finding and intersection positioning method, wherein the direction finding adopts a multiple signal classification estimation (MUSIC) algorithm, and the intersection positioning adopts a Taylor series iterative positioning algorithm.
In fig. 5, 5a shows the variation curve of the root mean square error of the estimation of the 1 st target position with the signal-to-noise ratio for the two positioning methods, and in fig. 5, 5b shows the variation curve of the root mean square error of the estimation of the 2 nd target position with the signal-to-noise ratio for the two positioning methods. Then, the snr is fixed to 20dB, assuming that 3 targets exist, and the location coordinates are (10km, -10km), (-5km, 0km), and (10km, 0km), respectively, 6a in fig. 6 gives the location spectrogram of cooperative direct positioning disclosed in this patent, and 6b in fig. 6 gives the location spectrogram of direct positioning using only angle information.
As can be seen from fig. 5a and 5b in fig. 5, compared with the conventional direction-finding and intersection-prior positioning method, the cooperative direct positioning method disclosed by the present invention can significantly improve the positioning accuracy, and the lower the signal-to-noise ratio, the more significant the advantages thereof. As can be seen from fig. 6a and 6b in fig. 6, compared with the direct positioning method using only angle information, the cooperative direct positioning method disclosed in this patent can further improve the resolution capability for multiple target positions.
Compared with the traditional positioning mode of firstly finding directions and then concentrating intersection, the method provided by the invention can obviously improve the multi-target positioning precision and can avoid the data association problem in the multi-target positioning process. In addition, the positioning method disclosed by the invention utilizes a passive synthetic aperture technology, and can further improve the resolution capability of multiple targets.
The above shows only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it should be noted that it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
