Description

Signal environment statistical method for broadband array multi-beam receiver
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of passive radar reception, in particular to a signal environment statistical method for a broadband array multi-beam receiver.
Background
The passive radar does not emit electromagnetic signals, but detects and discovers the target by intercepting radar signals of a target radiation source. With the development and popularization of various electronic devices, the electromagnetic environment becomes more and more complex, radar signals are often submerged in various communication, interference and clutter signals, and great difficulty is brought to operator judgment and closed loop treatment. Therefore, the current signal environment (energy distribution of various radiation source signals in the dimensions of time, space, frequency and the like) is effectively known, an operator can be helped to focus on a current work task, the work strategy can be timely adjusted, and the signal interception quality of a receiver is improved.
The broadband array multi-beam receiver is more and more commonly applied to passive radars due to the advantages of large bandwidth, wide airspace, high gain and the like, but the real-time processing data volume is particularly huge due to the high sampling rate, the large number of beams and the like. Taking 1GHz sampling, 1024-point FFT and 32 beams as examples, after frequency domain beam forming, output 16 x 10 per second 9 And (5) point frequency domain amplitude-phase data. These data most closely characterize the energy distribution of the current signal environment in the time-frequency dimension (frequency spacing of 1GHz/1024≡1MHz, time spacing of 1024×1/1 ghz=1.024 us, 32 beams). However, such a large amount of data is not acceptable nor practical if the data transmission and graphic display processes are performed directly.
The reduction processing is carried out on the amplitude-phase data after the frequency domain wave beam forming in engineering, and the data quantity is reduced, so that the method is a feasible method. The maximum maintained spectrum is a typical method, and the processing mode is as follows: firstly, forming amplitude data of a frequency domain beam formed by each beat, and taking a maximum value along a beam dimension; then, by accumulating for a long time (a typical value of 200ms including many beats), the maximum hold processing is performed on the amplitude value of each frequency point at a different beat, and the data amount can be effectively compressed. In the literature "autocorrelation method for extracting an antenna scanning period based on a maximum hold spectrum" (electronic information countermeasure technique, 2018, 01, fan Shengzhao, etc.), an antenna scanning period of a stronger signal can be extracted based on maximum hold spectrum data, but the maximum hold processing also causes a large amount of weak signal loss. In addition, the maximum maintenance spectrum also has low time resolution (accumulation duration, typically 200 ms) for the radiation source signal description, and the azimuth/beam dimension distribution information of the signal is lost, so that an operator can know the signal environment in a very rough way.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a signal environment statistics method for a broadband array multi-beam receiver to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
The invention discloses a signal environment statistical method for a broadband array multi-beam receiver, which comprises the following steps:
step 1: generating 'frequency and wave beam' two-dimensional matrix amplitude data based on the array element data in the broadband array multi-wave beam receiver;
step 2: based on the frequency and beam two-dimensional matrix amplitude data, obtaining a peak searching result formed by a single beat:
step 3: estimating azimuth resolution units corresponding to the peak searching results;
step 4: obtaining a long pulse frequency description word based on a peak searching result formed by adjacent beats and a corresponding azimuth resolution unit thereof;
step 5: reporting the long pulse frequency description word based on a preset minimum beat number threshold and a preset maximum beat number threshold of the long pulse frequency description word;
step 6: and graphically displaying the reported long pulse frequency description word so that an operator can know the signal environment in the broadband array multi-beam receiver.
Further, the step 1 includes:
and acquiring the array element data in the broadband array multi-beam receiver at a high sampling rate, and generating 'frequency and beam' two-dimensional matrix amplitude data through broadband signal narrowband segmentation and beam forming processing.
The "frequency, beam" two-dimensional matrix amplitude data is expressed as:
Figure BDA0004044718970000031
k is the number of effective frequency points of the FFT output frequency spectrum; l is the number of multi-beams, y i,j Representing the signal amplitude received by the ith frequency bin, the jth beam.
Further, the step 2 includes:
step 21: performing amplitude peak searching processing based on the amplitude data of the 'frequency and wave beam' two-dimensional matrix;
step 22: the signal amplitude data with known frequency and azimuth are excluded from peak searching processing through beam shadow hiding and frequency shadow hiding processing;
step 23: and sorting the amplitude peak searching results according to the amplitude, and outputting a preset number of peak searching results with larger amplitude.
Further, the step 3 includes:
dividing the azimuth coverage range of the broadband array multi-beam receiver into a plurality of azimuth resolution units, and estimating the corresponding azimuth resolution units according to the peak searching result output in the step 2.
Further, in dividing the azimuth coverage of the broadband array multi-beam receiver into a plurality of azimuth resolution units:
the broadband array multi-beam receiver adopts a contrast method for angle measurement, and can be used as an azimuth resolution unit or further divided into smaller azimuth resolution units in the azimuth range pointed by adjacent beams.
Further, the step 4 includes:
the peak amplitude generated by the adjacent beats is subjected to association fusion processing based on a frequency and azimuth resolution unit, and a multi-beat fusion result is called a long pulse frequency descriptor, wherein the elements of the peak amplitude comprise { beginning beat number, ending beat number, frequency, maximum frequency point, minimum frequency point, azimuth resolution unit number, amplitude mean value, amplitude standard deviation, amplitude maximum value and amplitude minimum value }.
Further, the step 5 includes:
setting a minimum beat number threshold and a maximum beat number threshold reported by the long pulse frequency descriptive word;
in the fusion process, if the long pulse frequency descriptive word exceeds the maximum beat number threshold, immediately reporting the processing;
when the long pulse frequency description word is not associated with the peak value in the next beat, comparing the existing beat number of the long pulse frequency description word with a minimum beat number threshold, and if the existing beat number exceeds the minimum beat number threshold, reporting and outputting.
Further, the minimum beat number threshold is a key parameter for controlling the data amount of the long pulse frequency descriptor, and the larger the minimum beat number threshold of the long pulse frequency descriptor is, the smaller the probability of false-reporting the long pulse frequency descriptor due to random noise is, and the smaller the whole data amount of the long pulse frequency descriptor is in probability.
Further, the step 6 includes:
LFDW graphical display: the display console software receives the reported long pulse frequency description word, and displays the time-frequency and amplitude information contained in the long pulse frequency description word in a graphical mode for an operator to know the signal environment.
Due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the invention has the following advantages:
1. based on the minimum beat number threshold of the reported LFDW, the data quantity of the generated LFDW can be flexibly controlled: when only white noise exists, the probability of searching for a peak value for multiple times is greatly reduced due to the randomness of the amplitude on different frequencies and different beams, and the higher the minimum beat number threshold is, the smaller the corresponding probability is; when a signal with a single frame length/time length larger exists, the multi-section beat spectrum data contained in the signal is described by one piece of LFDW data; compared with the original frequency domain beam forming amplitude-phase data, the total data volume is greatly compressed, and corresponding data transmission and graphic display processing become completely feasible in engineering;
2. compared with the rough description of the maximum maintenance frequency spectrum on the signal environment (the typical value of the time resolution is 200ms, and no azimuth/beam distribution information exists), the LFDW extracted by the invention comprises more complete time-space frequency and energy distribution description information of the signal environment: the time resolution is consistent with the FFT beat length; by dividing the azimuth resolution unit, the azimuth distribution of the signal is described; describing the frequency point distribution information of the LFDW, wherein the frequency resolution is consistent with the FFT frequency resolution; the amplitude information comprises a mean value, a standard deviation, a maximum value, a minimum value and the like, and the categories are more abundant.

step 4, carrying out association processing on peak amplitude statistical information of adjacent beats based on 'azimuth resolution unit number, frequency', and the like (a certain tolerance can be set for association in consideration of azimuth and frequency tolerance, such as a difference of one azimuth resolution unit number or one FFT frequency point, and the association is considered successful), and then fusing to generate a multi-beat statistical result, namely a long pulse frequency description word (Long pulse Frequency Description Word, LFDW for short), wherein elements comprise { beginning section number, ending section number, frequency, maximum frequency point, minimum frequency point, azimuth resolution unit number, amplitude average value, amplitude standard deviation, amplitude maximum value and amplitude minimum value };
step 5, judging whether the current LFDW finishes the fusion processing and accords with the output condition according to the LFDW reporting minimum beat number threshold and the maximum beat number threshold set by the user: comprises { beginning section mark, ending section mark, maximum frequency point, minimum frequency point, azimuth resolution unit number, amplitude mean value, amplitude standard deviation, amplitude maximum value, amplitude minimum value }; when the next beat is not associated with a peak value, comparing the existing beat number of the LFDW with a minimum beat number threshold, reporting the output only when the existing beat number of the LFDW exceeds the minimum beat number threshold, discarding the LFDW without exceeding the minimum beat number threshold, and controlling the data quantity output by the LFDW by manually changing the minimum beat number threshold so as to achieve the aim of reducing the data quantity;
step 6, display console software receives the reported LFDW data, and displays multi-dimensional information such as time (elements comprise beginning section number and ending section number), space (azimuth resolution unit number), frequency (maximum frequency point and minimum frequency point) and amplitude (amplitude mean value, amplitude standard deviation, amplitude maximum value and amplitude minimum value) contained in the LFDW data in a graphical mode for an operator to know a signal environment; an example of a three-dimensional graphic display is shown in fig. 2, in which the X-axis represents time-segment beat numbers, the Y-axis represents azimuth resolution unit numbers, the Z-axis represents frequency, and the magnitudes are distinguished by colors.
