Specifically, the hardware-in-the-loop simulation system can provide a more real simulation environment, and is beneficial to more accurately evaluating the actual performance of the radar system.
The front-end antenna, the servo and the adoption of the whole system are realized through the simulation of the task management module. The radar and the target simulator only use intermediate frequency signals for interaction, and the radar and the jammer interact through radio frequency signal line feed. The main reasons for this are as follows:
1. the jammer is a physical product which can only receive and transmit radio frequency signals, but if a real radar antenna is used for signal radiation, the coverage range of the jammer ranges from 3 GHz to 18GHz, and the seeker is required to be provided with a large number of antennas with different sizes according to different polarization directions of the simulation object. In addition, the real signal is used for testing, meanwhile, external radiation power is required, a special antenna far-field shielding test darkroom is required to be provided, and a large amount of resources are inevitably consumed, and the use is complex.
2. In the case of radar, the radar transmitted signal is initially generated at an intermediate frequency, the received signal is also converted to an intermediate frequency for processing, and the radio frequency part is merely a means of modulating the radiation by the signal and does not affect radar signal processing.
Therefore, on the whole system design, the antenna and the servo are realized by using data simulation, the servo is controlled by the task management component according to the radar, the current angle is sent to the target simulator in real time, and the antenna data is sent to the target simulator in the form of a pattern file by the scene simulation system.
Therefore, the invention designs the radar into a mode of outputting through up-conversion and directly inputting the intermediate frequency, the transmitting baseband intermediate frequency signal is generated by the radar waveform generating module, the radio frequency signal output with the designated frequency is generated by the up-conversion module with controllable local oscillation, the radio frequency output is directly connected to the radio frequency receiving interface of the jammer through the radio frequency cable, the jammer inputs the target interference signal generated according to the input radio frequency signal into the radar down-conversion module, and the down-conversion module changes the interference signal into the intermediate frequency and then inputs the interference signal into the target simulator. And simultaneously, a baseband signal generated by the digital waveform is output to a target simulator. And finally, synthesizing a target echo signal doped with an interference signal by using the simulator, outputting intermediate frequency signals with corresponding amplitude and phase to radar intermediate frequency input according to the current servo angle, the relative position relation of a target radar and an antenna pattern, and performing signal processing by using the radar.
Meanwhile, the radar signal processing and task management module opens all parameters in design, the radar working frequency point, the system, the servo mechanism parameters, the signal processing parameters and the like can be modified only through software configuration, and a user can simulate a radar of a certain model only through configuration of the radar parameters.
When the device is used, the scene simulation transmits the target position information to the jammer and the target simulator, transmits the position information of the launching point of the ballistic simulation bullet to the task management, and simultaneously transmits the radar parameter configuration file to the radar. After the radar is started, the simulation flight is carried out according to the built-in simulation trajectory, and meanwhile, the current position is output to the scene simulation system in real time. After the radar is started, the current working state of the radar is output in real time, target data, A/B/P display data and the like are searched and captured, and after a target is correctly captured, the change of simulated trajectory data is controlled according to parameters such as radar guidance rate and the like, so that the radar turns to the target to fly and gradually approaches the target. The real-time display state can reflect the interference applying time and the interference action effect, and is used for users to reference and serve as the basis for users to adjust interference strategies and train operators.
In summary, the invention has the following advantages:
The flexibility is high: advanced technologies such as phased array antennas, closed loop servo systems and DSP intermediate frequency signal processing are adopted, so that the semi-physical radar test system has flexible directivity and signal processing capability, and can adapt to the requirements of different targets and interference scenes.
The reality is strong: the target position and the motion trail are generated in real time through the scene simulation system, and a more real environment is provided for the experiment of the radar system by combining the hardware-in-the-loop simulation system, so that the system performance can be evaluated more accurately.
The anti-interference capability is strong: the radio frequency signal interaction module adopts a radio frequency signal generator and a radio frequency switch to realize real-time interference application and control of the radar system, and can effectively evaluate the anti-interference performance of the radar system.
The experimental platform is reliable: the task management module is realized by adopting an embedded system, has the advantages of high response speed, strong instantaneity, high flexibility and the like, can effectively control the movement and positioning of the radar system, and improves the experimental efficiency and reliability of the radar system.
As an embodiment of the invention, the system further comprises a display for displaying the operating state of the radar and the target capturing situation.
Specifically, the display is added as a part of the system to provide real-time feedback and visual display, so that the operator can observe and analyze the working state and the target capturing condition of the radar system. The display can display the information of the working parameters, target detection results, simulation scenes and the like of the radar system, so that a user can know the running condition of the system in time, and necessary adjustment and analysis can be performed.
The display can display information such as target positions, radar scanning ranges and the like in a simulation scene in real time through connection with the task management module and the scene simulation system, so that an operator can intuitively observe the working state of the radar system. This helps in finding the problem in time and adjust, improves efficiency and reliability of experiment.
As an embodiment of the invention, the system further comprises a user interface for adjusting radar parameters and observing real-time feedback information.
Specifically, adding a user interface as part of the system can provide a direct interactive interface for operators, so that the operators can conveniently adjust radar parameters and observe real-time feedback information. The user interface may be designed as a graphical interface or a command line interface, through which an operator may do the following:
adjusting radar parameters: parameters such as the scanning range, the scanning speed, the signal-to-noise ratio threshold value and the like of the radar are changed so as to flexibly adjust according to different experimental requirements.
And (3) observing real-time feedback information: the system comprises real-time information such as the working state of the radar system, the target capturing condition, the simulation scene and the like, and is beneficial to operators to know the running condition of the system in real time, discover problems in time and adjust.
And (3) performing experimental control: through the user interface, an operator can start, stop, restart and other operations on the radar system, so that the experimental process is flexibly controlled.
The design of the user interface should consider the use habit and the operation convenience of operators, ensure friendly and visual interface and simple and convenient operation, so as to improve the usability and practicability of the system.
