Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of an application test environment of a microwave radar test system according to an embodiment of the invention.
The system is in an external environment built by wave absorbing materials, comprising:
a plurality of radar sensors 51 to be measured mounted on a tool plane of the fixed tool 01;
a Doppler microwave radar simulator 52 based on circular polarization design installed in the normal direction along the tool plane is used as a target simulator of the test system; it should be noted that, the doppler microwave radar simulator 52 based on the circular polarization design may implement all functions of the doppler microwave radar simulator based on the circular polarization design in the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail.
It should be noted that, in the tool design for testing the radar sensor 51, a mode of spreading along a plane is adopted in most cases, and the target simulator is arranged in a mode of a normal direction of the plane, so that the difference of detection results is small. However, the spreading of the radar sensors 51 is not limited to equidistant spreading, and in theory, the radar sensors 51 may be spaced apart from each other by a certain distance, and no requirement is imposed on the regularity of orientation and arrangement.
The doppler microwave radar simulator 52 based on circular polarization design sequentially converts the received electromagnetic waves emitted by each radar sensor 51 to be detected into a pair of orthogonal radio frequency signals, and sends the corresponding generated circular polarized electromagnetic waves to the corresponding radar sensor 51 for receiving.
Because the mounting position of the radar sensor has non-negligible dislocation relative to the target simulator, signal receiving and transmitting are not strictly transmitted according to the normal direction, so that polarization deflection exists; according to the scheme, the Doppler microwave radar simulator 52 is adopted, signals can be received and transmitted in a mode of reducing half power for any deflected radar electromagnetic wave by circular polarization, and the Doppler microwave radar simulator 52 corresponds to a plurality of radar sensors and can receive and transmit signals with consistent amplitude.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the doppler microwave radar simulator 51 is installed in a direction along the normal direction of the tool plane, and is spaced from the tool plane by a distance d. D satisfies a fixed distance relationship;
wherein the fixed distance relationship comprises:
and D is the diagonal length of the radar sensor fixing tool, and lambda is the wavelength in the air corresponding to the electromagnetic wave under the radar working frequency.
In one embodiment, the radar sensor 51 to be measured is a linearly polarized radar sensor for receiving and transmitting linearly polarized electromagnetic waves.
In order to better illustrate the microwave radar test system, the present invention provides the following specific embodiments.
Example 1: a microwave radar test system.
The system comprises: 9 radar sensors to be detected, a target simulator and an external environment built by wave-absorbing materials;
9 radar sensors to be tested are arranged on a fixed tool, and are unfolded in a nine-grid plane as shown in fig. 6; the target simulator adopts a Doppler microwave radar simulator based on circular polarization design, and is arranged in the normal direction along the plane of the tool, the distance from the tool is d, and the d value meets the formula (3);
wherein D is the diagonal length of the fixture for fixing the radar sensor (e.g., the diagonal length of the hatched square in fig. 6), and λ is the wavelength in air corresponding to the electromagnetic wave at the radar operating frequency.
In the application case, the radar sensors are all used for receiving and transmitting linearly polarized electromagnetic waves; as shown in fig. 6, it is assumed that the radar sensor No. 5 is facing the target simulator when installed, and its polarization direction with respect to the simulator is as shown in fig. 7; in this case, the other sensors have a polarization deflection because the mounting positions are not negligibly displaced from the target simulator, and the signal transmission and reception are no longer strictly transmitted in normal direction.
For a simulator of linear polarization design, facing the problem of polarization deflection, only electromagnetic wave components consistent with the self polarization direction can be reserved for receiving and transmitting, and components different from the self direction are abandoned; the proportion of the selection is changed according to different deflection degrees, and finally the magnitude of the received transmitting signal of the simulator is caused to fluctuate.
Under the circular polarization design, as shown in fig. 8, the received and emitted electromagnetic waves of the target simulator can be disassembled into any two equal-amplitude orthogonal linear polarizations, wherein one polarization coincides with the deflected radar electromagnetic wave, and the other is orthogonal to the polarized radar electromagnetic wave; therefore, for any deflected radar electromagnetic wave, circular polarization can transmit and receive signals in a mode of reducing half power, so that the simulator corresponds to a plurality of radar sensors, and signals with consistent amplitude can be transmitted and received.
In the general circular polarization design, the ratio of the magnitudes of two linear polarizations after the circular polarization is split into two orthogonal linear polarizations is called an axial ratio. When the axial ratio is less than or equal to 3dB, the circular polarization design requirement is considered to be met. And fig. 9 shows the axial ratio index of the target simulator in the present solution at each main direction angle, it can be seen that the axial ratio index in the present solution is basically kept below 1dB, and the circular polarization strictness is higher than the general standard.
In summary, according to the doppler microwave radar simulator and the microwave radar test system based on the circular polarization design, the receiving antenna, the transmitting antenna and the signal processing component integrated on the simulator circuit board can accurately receive, modulate and output the target simulation signal, and the strict circular polarization design is utilized, so that the problem of polarization deflection caused by the difference of the spatial arrangement positions of a plurality of radar products to be tested is reduced when the radar products to be tested are simultaneously measured, the measurement error is reduced, and the consistency of the test results is improved.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention and its effectiveness, and are not intended to limit the invention. Modifications and variations may be made to the above-described embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that all equivalent modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical spirit of the present invention shall be covered by the appended claims.
