In the prior art, radio altimeter devices based on frequency modulated continuous waves use a frequency method for the altimetry, and the envelope function of the altimetric signal typically uses rectangular pulses. As known from the prior art, the rectangular pulse is an envelope function with a small time-bandwidth product, and when the rectangular pulse is used for radio altimetry, the small time-bandwidth product can cause the echo signal energy to be not concentrated, so that the detection capability of a receiving unit of the altimeter device on the echo signal is weak. Therefore, in order to improve the detection capability of the airborne radio altimeter receiving unit on the altimeter echo signals and improve the resolution of the altimeter at the same time so as to solve the limitation of the altimeter detection of the existing radio altimeter device based on the frequency modulation continuous wave, in the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the pulse signals with large time-bandwidth product characteristics are adoptedγ(t) The envelope function of the airborne radio altimeter height signal is designed.
Further, in the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the inventionThe waveform generation module is used for generating a pulse waveform to be modulatedγ(t) The pulse waveform to be modulatedγ(t) The pulse waveform to be modulated is a 0 th order long spherical wave function (Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions, PSWFs) with a time-bandwidth product of 4 piγ(t) For 0 th order long spherical wave function, in a given time interval [ cavity [ ]T p /2,T p /2]In, the saidγ(t) The following integral equation is satisfied:

In the prior art, a radio altimeter based on a frequency modulation continuous wave has the characteristics of large peak power, is easy to intercept and has poor hiding capability. In order to solve the problems in the prior art, in the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the spread spectrum module is used for generating a pseudo-random sequence, multiplying each chip amplitude of the pseudo-random sequence with the linear frequency modulation signal according to the sequence of chips from low to high to form a wideband frequency modulation signal, so that the spectrum spreading of the altimetric signal is realized, and the frequency spectrum of the altimetric signal with high power spectrum characteristics is widened through the pseudo-random sequence and pulse modulation, so that the aim of reducing the power spectrum of the high signal of the radio altimeter is fulfilled, and the concealment of the altimetric signal in the channel transmission process is improved. Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention reduces the power spectrum density of the radio altimeter to detect the high signal and improves the concealment capability and the anti-interception performance.
When receiving echo signals, a despreading module of the receiving system performs autocorrelation despreading processing on the echo signals received by the receiving antenna module based on the pseudorandom sequence output by the spreading module and good autocorrelation thereof, and the despreading processing process can accumulate echo signal energy of all chip time and convert the echo signals with broadband low-power spectral density into narrow-band high-power spectral density signals, thereby improving signal-to-noise ratio, being beneficial to improving the capability of the echo signals of the airborne radio altimeter for resisting distortion, multipath, diffuse reflection and other distortion factors, and improving the height measurement precision of the airborne radio altimeter. The received echo signals are subjected to autocorrelation processing based on the autocorrelation characteristics of the pseudo-random sequence, and methods such as serial acquisition, parallel acquisition, and hybrid acquisition in the prior art can be adopted, which are disclosed in the prior art, and can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on the prior art and conventional technical means, and are not repeated here.
In the prior art, the autocorrelation characteristics of the pseudo-random sequences have large differences due to different implementation manners. Although M sequences are easy to generate, their autocorrelation properties are weak. The autocorrelation characteristic of the pseudo-random sequence generated by the spreading module is related to the peak characteristic of the echo signal detected by the airborne radio altimeter. The sharper the autocorrelation of the pseudo-random sequence, the more favorable the accurate capturing of the peak value of the echo signal, and the higher the accuracy of the height measurement. Further, in the technical scheme disclosed in the embodiment of the invention, the number of the chips of the pseudo-random sequence generated by the spread spectrum module is closely related to the height measurement performance of the airborne radio altimeter. The more the number of chips of the pseudo-random sequence, the spectrum widening capability of the spread spectrum module to the altimetric signalThe stronger the hiding capability of the height measurement signal in channel transmission is, the larger the processing gain of the despreading module of the receiving unit in processing the echo signal is, which is more beneficial to improving the anti-interference capability of the echo signal; however, the number of chips is too large, the time for processing the echo signal is also increased, and the real-time performance of the height measurement is reduced. Based on the above analysis, the inventors optimized the number of chips of the pseudo-random sequence by theoretical analysis and by means of simulation calculation. Preferably, in order to improve the height measurement capability of the airborne radio altimeter, in the technical scheme disclosed in the embodiment of the invention, the pseudo-random sequence generated by the spreading module [c 1 ,c 2 ,c 3 ,…,c j , …,c M ]For a chip number of 11 barker codes, the respective chip magnitudes of the pseudo-random sequence [c 1 ,c 2 ,c 3 ,…,c 11 ]The method comprises the following steps of: [ -1, -1, -1,1,1,1, -1,1,1, -1,1]。
In the prior art, an airborne radio altimeter height measurement signal based on a frequency modulation continuous wave generally adopts a fixed frequency transmission signal, is easily intercepted by electronic reconnaissance equipment and carries out high-power suppression type interference on the electronic reconnaissance equipment, so that the height measurement cannot work normally. In order to solve the problems in the prior art, in the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the frequency hopping module adjusts the carrier frequency of the broadband frequency modulation signal under the action of the time control signal to form a frequency hopping signal, and outputs the frequency hopping signal to the transmitting antenna module for transmission.

Further, the frequency hoppingAnd->Slave hopping sequence under control of keyf 1 ,f 2 ,…,f V ]Pseudo-randomly selected. Therefore, since the interfering party does not know the key, the change rule of the frequency hopping frequency cannot be tracked. Further, the hopping sequence [f 1 ,f 2 ,…,f V ]Preset in microwave band, the frequency hopping sequence [f 1 ,f 2 ,…,f V ]The frequency interval between the adjacent frequency points is more than or equal to 3MHz, so that the frequency agility degree of the altimeter signals is further enhanced, the airborne radio altimeter signals are difficult to capture by the reconnaissance equipment, and high-power suppression interference cannot be realized on the reconnaissance equipment. Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme disclosed by the invention improves the capacity of the radio altimeter for resisting the system interference.

wherein the saidBFor the frequency modulation bandwidth of the chirp signal, theT s And detecting the cycle time of the high signal for the aviation altimeter.
In the field of radar electronics, in addition to interference suppression, interference with the form of repetition is one of the types of interference that are commonly used. Compared with the suppression type interference, the forwarding type interference does not need to obtain the parameters of the interfered signal, and the purpose of implementing interference is achieved by amplifying the power of the received interfered signal and forwarding the amplified signal to the interfered system.
In order to improve the capability of the airborne radio altimeter to detect the high signal to resist the forward interference, in the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the time control module controls the cycle time to be equal to the timeT s Divided into 2NThe method for each time slot is as follows: the cycle time is set toT s Divided into 2NTime slots with equal time length; the front partNThe time slots are expressed as:、/>、…、/>、…、wherein, said->And->Respectively represent the firstiStarting time and ending time of each time slot; the rear part is provided withNThe time slots are expressed as: />、/>、…、/>、…、/>Wherein, saidSaid->And->Respectively represent the firstN+iThe starting time and the ending time of each time slot. The frequency hopping module adjusts the carrier frequency of the broadband frequency modulation signal to form a frequency hopping signal under the action of the time control signal, and the frequency hopping module is used for transmitting the time control signalNThe carrier frequencies of the chirped signals of the individual time slots are each adjusted to +.>Will laterNThe carrier frequencies of the chirped signals of the individual time slots are each adjusted to +.>The frequency hopping frequency ∈>And->From frequency hopping sequences [f 1 ,f 2 ,…,f V ]Pseudo-randomly selected. I.e. the carrier frequencies of the generated altimetric signals are different in each time slot. As known from the prior art, the forwarded interference is achieved by the interfering party amplifying the power of the received interfered signal and forwarding the amplified signal to the interfered party. Thus, if the interfering party achieves the purpose of interference, only the same frequency altimetric signal can be interfered, which makes the implemented forward interference necessary to be completed within one time slot. Further, in the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the interference party can hardly implement the forward interference on the height measurement signal of a single time slot by reasonably controlling the time length of the time slot.
Preferably, in the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the time slot time lengthδAt 0.2 μs, the ideal distance between the platform implementing the forward interference and the interfered platform is known according to the transmission theory of radio wavesThe separation is as follows: 0.1 microsecond by 3 by 10 8 Meter/second = 30 meters, which is obviously unreasonable in practical application scenarios, i.e. no repeater interference can be implemented. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the invention has better capability of resisting forwarding interference.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, in the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the aviation altimeter detects the cycle time of the high signalT s Divided into 2NTime slots with equal time length; the time slot time lengthδNumber of chips of the pseudo random sequenceMAnd the pulse waveform to be modulatedγ(t) Pulse cycle time of (2)τ pulse The three satisfy the relation:δ=M× τ pulse . Further, in the technical scheme disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the pulse waveform to be modulatedγ(t) Pulse cycle time of (2)τ pulse And said at least one ofT p The relation between them is satisfied:τ pulse >T p to reduce the pulse waveform to be modulatedγ(t) According to the transformation relation between the time domain and the frequency domain, the frequency spectrum of the high signal of the airborne radio altimeter can be further widened, under the condition that the total transmitting power is unchanged, the power spectrum density of the height measurement signal is further reduced, and the concealment and interception resistance of the height measurement signal are improved.
