Description

Radar radio frequency receiving method and radar radio frequency system adapting to strong clutter environment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radar radio frequency systems, in particular to a radar radio frequency receiving method and a radar radio frequency system which are adaptive to a strong clutter environment.
Background
About nineties of the twentieth century, the united states first developed a hand-held detection radar which can penetrate through a wall of a building or other fixed object to detect a target behind the wall, and can warn when a life body moves behind the wall.
For the through-wall radar radio frequency system, the system generally comprises a receiving and transmitting active array surface for improving the transmitting energy and the receiving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), wherein the active array surface comprises an RF transmitting link and an RF receiving link, the FPGA forms a transmitting signal through the RF transmitting link and sends the transmitting signal to a transmitting antenna, and an echo signal of a target is received through the receiving antenna and sent to the RF receiving link and finally sent to the FPGA through the RF receiving link. During transmitting, the transmitting wave beam synthesis of pitch angle in space azimuth is completed by configuring different transmitting wave waveform phases and transmitting time, and as the array is provided with multiple units, the energy after wave beam synthesis has great benefit during transmitting, and the detecting power is improved; meanwhile, the flexible and rapid scanning of the transmitting beam can be realized by configuring the transmitting delay and the initial phase of the array surface transmitting unit. During receiving, amplitude-phase weighting is carried out on the data of the receiving channel to realize receiving wave beams, and the target detection efficiency is improved.
The device must transmit and receive, when transmitting, the electromagnetic wave needs to pass through the wall, the energy attenuation is very big after the electromagnetic wave passes through the wall, the echo is reflected after the electromagnetic wave acts on the life body behind the wall, the echo also needs to pass through the wall and then is transmitted to the receiving antenna, the electromagnetic wave needs to pass through the wall twice in the process, and the energy of the echo reflected by the life body behind the wall is very small, so the electromagnetic wave energy really reaching the receiving antenna is very weak. On the other hand, when the electromagnetic wave is emitted to act on the wall for the first time, there is an emitted echo, the echo component is complex, the superposition of echo of all sections of the wall is realized, the echo energy is very high, the echo belongs to a strong signal, and the echo component which is not needed by the system is realized. In addition to the above components, other stationary (e.g., subsequent second wall, etc.) echoes are superimposed with multipath, etc., to form the actual echo signal. Therefore, the echo signals obtained in the through-wall radar radio frequency system actually comprise strong clutter signals and target weak echo signals, and target detection needs to be carried out by matching correlation from echoes according to the characteristic information of organisms.
Moreover, the RF transmitting link and the RF receiving link of the radar radio frequency system often need to work in a time-sharing manner or work simultaneously, wherein for an application scene similar to a wall penetrating radar, when the system works, due to the existence of a wall, echo signals have strong clutter related to a fixed distance, when the system works, all echo signals need to be received, pulse-to-pulse two-dimensional FFT is performed, characteristic information such as heartbeat of a living body is utilized to detect the living signals behind the wall, the application scene requires that the echo signals of the super-strong wall can be received simultaneously, and also requires that extremely weak living body echo information is required to be received, so that the RF receiving link needs to work in a linear state.
Because any device can cause nonlinear distortion in a saturated state, additional phase nonlinearity is generated, subsequent signal filtering and feature extraction are affected, the analog device is generally required to have larger input P-1 and output P-1 for analog radio frequency devices, and higher requirements are also provided for gain allocation of a receiving link, so that a high dynamic receiving link with low noise coefficient can be realized on the basis of reasonable design. Whereas for a digitizer device, especially an ADC, the ADC is required to have a high resolution and thus the challenge is even greater. In order to improve key technical indexes, a general system requires a high instantaneous bandwidth of operation, even reaching GHz or above, which requires that the ADC operates at a high sampling rate, and the resolution of the ADC is closely related to the sampling rate, and the higher the sampling rate is, the lower the resolution is, and the higher the power consumption, the price and the like are, which contradicts the application scene.
How to realize the ultra-large dynamic linear matching receiving of analog and digital under the premise of limited ADC resolution at present is the core content of the invention.
