The chaotic signal is widely applied to the spread spectrum communication field because of the characteristics of wide band, random-like property, easy generation, good autocorrelation/cross correlation and the like. At present, research on chaotic communication is mainly focused on chaotic digital communication, wherein coherent chaotic modulation and noncoherent chaotic modulation are the most focused. Because the coherent chaotic modulation communication system needs the chaotic synchronization of a receiver, the initial value sensitivity of the chaotic signal makes the synchronization of a receiving end difficult to realize. Therefore, incoherent chaotic communication systems not requiring chaotic synchronization are receiving more and more attention. And differential chaotic shift keying (DIFFERENT CHAOS SHIFT KEYING, DCSK) is taken as a typical representative of a non-coherent chaotic communication system and is widely studied.

Detailed Description
The schematic block diagrams of the transceiver and transmitter of the conventional DCSK system are shown in fig. 1, and the transmitter of the system realizes modulation of information symbols by transmitting two continuous chaotic signals. Wherein the first segment signal is used as a reference signal and the second segment signal is used as an information bearing signal. When the transmission symbol is "+1", the second segment signal is identical to the first segment signal; when the transmission symbol is "0", the second-segment signal is an inverted signal of the first-segment signal. Specifically, when the DCSK system transmits the ith information bit b i, the signal expression transmitted by the DCSK system is:
(1)
in equation (1), β represents the length of the chaotic sequence serving as the reference signal, In DCSK system, its spread spectrum factor
At the receiving end, in order to recover the information bit b i, the received signal r i,k and the delayed signal r i,k-β thereof are subjected to a correlation operation, so as to obtain a decision variable z i, which can be expressed as:

In recent years, as available spectrum resources are increasingly scarce, this has forced the development of multifunctional devices that share spectrum. Among the developed multifunctional devices, a joint radar communication system (Joint Radar and Communication, JRC) capable of integrating radar and communication functions on a unified hardware platform has recently been attracting attention. In JRC systems, the design of the waveform plays a critical role. JRC waveform designs can be divided into two categories: waveform designs where the resource allocations do not overlap and completely uniform waveform designs. The first type of waveform design is designed mainly by methods such as time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, space division multiplexing and code division multiplexing. These methods inevitably cause interference between communications and radar, and have problems of poor spectrum and energy efficiency, low communication rate, and the like. While the second type of waveform design maximizes the integration gain. Wherein the second type of waveform design can be subdivided into three types: communication-centric designs, perception-centric designs, and joint designs. Communication-centric designs are designed to implement sensing functions on existing communication waveforms, with a main typical representation being designed with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) waveforms; the sensing-centric design mainly integrates communication functions into existing sensing waveforms, and takes a linear frequency modulation (Linear Frequency Modulation, LFM) signal as a typical representative, while the joint design is to redesign a new waveform to realize both communication and sensing functions.
Because the traditional DCSK system can only be used for communication and cannot be used for detecting targets, the traditional DCSK system has only a single function, cannot realize the dual functions of communication and target detection, and is difficult to adapt to a JRC system. Furthermore, a single communication device or a radar device has no advantages in terms of cost, power consumption, and hardware size, as compared to a device in which both are integrated.
Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a combined radar communication waveform signal construction method and a combined radar communication system, which construct a brand-new DCSK-LFM integrated waveform suitable for a JRC system by utilizing a DCSK system and an LFM waveform, realize dual functions of sensing and communication, and solve the technical problems that waveform signals output by the traditional DCSK system can only be used for communication and cannot be used for detecting targets, and the dual functions of communication and target detection are difficult to realize.
In order to make the objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 2, the method for constructing a joint radar communication waveform signal provided by the present invention includes:

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the chaotic sample signal is obtained from the chaotic signal generator, and the information symbol is obtained from the bit divider. The pulse repetition period is used to adjust the data rate and maximum detection distance of the system. The pulse repetition period may be set in advance according to actual conditions. The system refers to a joint radar communication waveform system as shown in fig. 4 and 5 to which the present embodiment is applied.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, β chaotic sample signals are acquired from a chaotic signal generator, wherein a signal period of each chaotic sample signal is equal to a duration T b of a reference signal.
102. An LFM waveform is acquired and divided into a number of sub-LFM waveforms.
In this embodiment, an LFM waveform with a pulse width of T is obtained, and the LFM waveform is divided into β sub-LFM waveforms with a signal period of T c, where the pulse width of the LFM waveform is the same as the period of the chaotic sample signal, i.e., t=t b=βTc.
103. And calculating the chaotic sample signal and the sub LFM waveform to obtain a reference signal.
In this embodiment, each chaotic sample signal is multiplied by each sub LFM waveform to obtain the reference signal S 0 (t) transmitted by the first pulse.
104. And calculating the chaotic sample signal, the information symbol, the pulse repetition period and the sub LFM waveform to obtain an information bearing signal.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the procedure of obtaining the information carrying signal is similar to that of the reference signal, and the difference is that, when the information carrying signal is generated, each chaotic sample signal needs to be multiplied by one information symbol b m, and a new signal period is obtained by using the pulse repetition period. Where b m is the mth information symbol, b m e { -1, +1}, m=1, 2, …, M.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the chaotic sample signal, the information symbol, the pulse repetition period and the sub LFM waveform are subjected to operation processing to obtain the information bearing signal, so that the information symbol and the pulse repetition period are embedded into the LFM waveform, thereby realizing dual functions of communication and target detection.
105. A transmit signal is constructed from the information bearing signal and the reference signal.
In this embodiment, the information-bearing signal and the reference signal are configured to be a transmission signal, and the transmission signal is sent by the transmitter module to the receiver module.
Wherein, in signal transmission, the transmitter module transmits n=m+1 pulses altogether, the first pulse being used for transmitting the reference signal and the remaining pulses being used for transmitting the information-bearing signal.
In the embodiment of the invention, the acquisition of the chaotic sample signal, the information symbol and the pulse repetition period is realized by acquiring the chaotic sample signal, the information symbol and the pulse repetition period; the LFM waveform is obtained and divided into a plurality of sub-LFM waveforms, so that the period of the sub-LFM waveforms obtained by division is the same as the period of the chaotic sample signal, and technical support is provided for embedding the information symbol into the sub-LFM waveforms; the chaotic sample signal and the sub LFM waveform are calculated to obtain a reference signal, so that the construction of the reference signal is realized; the chaotic sample signal, the information symbol, the pulse repetition period and the sub-LFM waveform are calculated to obtain an information bearing signal, so that the information symbol is embedded into the sub-LFM waveform, and the information bearing signal carries data information corresponding to the information symbol, thereby realizing dual functions of communication and target detection; and the transmitting signal is constructed according to the information bearing signal and the reference signal, thereby completing the integral construction of the combined radar communication waveform signal, enabling the obtained transmitting signal to meet the functions of communication and target detection, and solving the technical problems that the waveform signal output by the traditional DCSK system can only be used for communication and can not be used for detecting targets, and the dual functions of communication and target detection are difficult to realize.
Referring to fig. 3, the method for constructing a joint radar communication waveform signal according to another embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of:
201. acquiring a chaotic sample signal, an information symbol and a pulse repetition period;
it should be noted that, the description of the chaotic sample signal and the pulse repetition period may refer to step 101, and will not be described herein.
In one example, the step of obtaining the information symbol includes:
S1, acquiring information bits;
it should be noted that, the information bits in the embodiment are the same as those adopted in the existing DCSK system, and specifically, reference may be made to the existing DCSK system, which is not described herein again.
S2, dividing the information bits by a bit divider to obtain a plurality of information symbols.
In this embodiment, the bit divider divides the information bit b into a total of b 1、b2、b3……bM information symbols.
202. Acquiring an LFM waveform, and dividing the LFM waveform into a plurality of sub-LFM waveforms;
it should be noted that, step 202 may specifically refer to step 102, which is not described herein.
203. Calculating the chaotic sample signal and the sub LFM waveform to obtain a reference signal;
in this embodiment, the chaotic sample signal is multiplied by the sub LFM waveform to obtain the reference signal S 0 (t).
The calculation formula of the reference signal S 0 (t) is as follows:
(4)
Wherein S 0 (T) is a reference signal, x i is an ith chaotic sample signal, T c is a period of a sub LFM waveform, f 0 is an initial frequency of the LFM waveform signal, μ is a chirp slope of the LFM waveform signal, T is a time instant at which the LFM waveform signal is currently located, and i=0, 1, …, β -1, m are constants.
204. Calculating the chaotic sample signal, the information symbol, the pulse repetition period and the sub LFM waveform to obtain an information bearing signal;
it should be noted that, the chaotic sample signal is delayed, and the chaotic sample signal obtained after the delay is multiplied by the information symbol and the sub LFM waveform to obtain the information bearing signal.
Wherein the delay time is determined based on the information symbol and the pulse repetition period. It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, there are M information symbols b 1、b2、b3……bM, which correspond to the information-bearing signal, for example, the first signal symbol b 1 is used to calculate the first information-bearing signal S 1 (t), where the delay time may be obtained by multiplying the pulse repetition period by the subscript of the information symbol. For example, the latency of the chaotic sample signal is 1T p when the first information-bearing signal is calculated, 2T p when the second information-bearing signal is calculated, and so on.
In one embodiment, the information bearing signal is calculated as:
(5)
wherein, For the mth information carrying signal, f 0 is the initial frequency of the LFM waveform signal, μ is the chirp slope of the LFM waveform signal, T is the current time of the LFM waveform signal, b M is the mth information symbol, T p is the pulse repetition period, x i is the ith chaotic sample signal, T c is the period of the sub-LFM waveform, and M is a constant.
205. A transmit signal is constructed from the information bearing signal and the reference signal.
Note that, the expression of the transmission signal may be:
(6)
for transmitting signals.
206. Transmitting the transmit signal to a receiver module;
in this embodiment, the reference signal and each information-bearing signal in the transmission signal are sequentially sent to the receiver module by the transmitter module.
207. When the receiver module receives the transmitting signal, the receiver module carries out signal demodulation on the transmitting signal to obtain modulation bits;
The receiver module in this embodiment includes a demodulation receiver and a JRC transceiver. In signal transmission, the transmitter module sends the transmission signals to the demodulation receiver and the JRC transceiver, respectively. The demodulation receiver is used for demodulating the transmitted signal to obtain modulation bits. The JRC transceiver is configured to perform target detection on the transmission to obtain a target speed and a target distance.
In a specific embodiment, step 207 specifically comprises the sub-steps of:
S21, analyzing the transmitting signals to obtain a plurality of pulse signals.
It should be noted that, the transmitted signal received by the receiver module may be expressed as:
(7)
Where N j,i (t), j=0, 1, …, M, represents the additive white gaussian noise with a mean value of zero and a variance of N 0/2 corresponding to the (i+1) th sub-waveform of the (j+1) th pulse waveform.
It will be appreciated that the transmission signal, after propagating through the wireless channel and passing through the internal components of the receiver module, carries a certain noise signal, so that the expression of the transmission signal at the receiver module end is different from the expression of the transmission signal at the transmission module end.
In this embodiment, after analyzing the transmitting signal of the receiver module, a plurality of pulse signals are obtained, as shown in formula (7), where each line of expressions on the right side of the equal sign represents one pulse signal respectively.
S22, multiplying the first pulse signal with the conjugated replica signal of the LFM waveform according to the signal transmission sequence from front to back to obtain a first processing signal; and multiplying each pulse signal except the first pulse signal in the pulse signals with the conjugated copy signal of the LFM waveform to obtain each second processing signal.
In this embodiment, first, the first pulse signal is multiplied by the conjugate replica signal of the LFM waveform to obtain a first processing signal, and the remaining pulse signals are multiplied by the conjugate replica signal of the LFM waveform to obtain corresponding second processing signals. The first pulse signal refers to a signal transmitted first by the transmitter module, that is, a pulse signal received first by the receiver module, and the expression of the first pulse signal is shown as a first row expression (from top to bottom) on the right side of an equal sign of the formula (7). The rest pulse signals are shown as the expressions from the second row to the M-th row on the right side of the equal sign of the formula (7). Therefore, the pulse signals except the first pulse signal correspond to one second processing signal respectively. Wherein the number of the second processing signals is M.
S23, performing a real part operation on the first processing signal to obtain a first matrix.
In this embodiment, the first processing signal is subjected to a real part calculation, the calculated signal is used as a reference signal, and the reference signal is stored in a matrix form to obtain a first matrix. Therefore, the first matrix in this embodiment represents the reference signal, and this embodiment realizes the recovery of the reference signal by performing the operation of taking the real part of the first processing signal. Wherein the first matrix a 1×β is a matrix of 1 row and β column.
S24, performing a real part calculation on each second processing signal to obtain a second matrix.
In this embodiment, the real part of each second processing signal is calculated to obtain M corresponding signals, the M signals are converted into a matrix form to obtain M matrices of 1 row and β column, and the M matrices of 1 row and β column are used to construct a second matrix of M row and β column. Each row of elements in the second matrix corresponds to the elements in the M signals one by one, for example, the first row of elements in the second matrix is the same as the matrix corresponding to the second processing signal r 1 (t) after the first real part operation.
S25, calculating to obtain a first vector according to the transpose matrix of the first matrix and the transpose matrix of the second matrix.
In this embodiment, the transpose of the first matrix and the second matrix are multiplied to obtain the first vector.
In one example, the first vector is calculated as:
z=A×BT(8)
wherein z is a first vector.
And S26, carrying out numerical detection on each element in the first vector by adopting a detector to obtain a modulation bit corresponding to each element.
It should be noted that, according to the step S25, the calculated first vector z is a matrix, and the detector is used to detect the value of each element in the first vector z, when the value of the detected element is greater than 0, the corresponding modulation bit of the detected element is "0", and when the value of the detected element is not greater than 0, the corresponding modulation bit of the detected element is "1".
In a specific embodiment, the relation between the modulation bits and the first vector is:
(9)
for the mth modulated bit, z m is the mth element in the first vector z.
208. When the receiver module receives the transmitting signal, the transmitting signal is subjected to target detection, and the target speed and the target distance are obtained.
It should be noted that, the JRC transceiver is configured to perform target detection on the transmission signal, so as to obtain the target speed and the target distance. The target speed refers to the moving speed of the measured target. The target distance refers to the distance between the target under test and the JRC transceiver.
In this embodiment, the JRC transceiver is used as a part of radar ranging, and the echo signal of the transmitted signal needs to return to the receiver before the transmitter module transmits the next pulse waveform, so as to improve the ranging accuracy, so that the delay of the echo signal of the JRC transceiver satisfies:
(10)
(11)
Where τ echo is the echo delay, R is the target distance, c is the speed of light, and T p is the pulse repetition period.
In a specific embodiment, step 208 may specifically comprise the sub-steps of:
S31, analyzing the transmitted signals to obtain Doppler frequency shift, time delay and wavelength of echo signals.
The Doppler effect principle is utilized to analyze the transmitted signal, and Doppler frequency shift, time delay and wavelength of the echo signal are obtained.
S32, calculating the target speed according to the Doppler frequency shift and the wavelength.
It should be noted that, during the speed measurement process, when the measured target moves relative to the radar, the frequency of the echo signal changes, and the change is proportional to the speed of the target object. Thus, by measuring the frequency change (i.e., doppler shift) of the echo signal, the velocity of the target object can be calculated.
The expression of the speed measurement is as follows:
(12)
where v t is the velocity of the measured object, f d is the Doppler shift of the echo signal, and λ is the wavelength of the echo signal.
S33, calculating to obtain the target distance according to the time delay and the light speed.
It should be noted that, according to the above formula (10), the target distance can be calculated by using the time delay and the light velocity of the echo signal.
It will be appreciated that 207 and 208 do not have a sequential order, e.g. step 208 may precede step 207 or step 207 and step 208 may be performed simultaneously.
In a specific embodiment, the data rate of the system (i.e., the rate at which information bits are transmitted) is approximately equal to the inverse of the pulse repetition period.
Wherein, the relation between the data rate and the pulse repetition period is as follows:
(13)
where v is the data rate.
In another specific embodiment, the maximum detection distance of the system can be calculated by the speed of light and the pulse repetition period.
The specific calculation formula is as follows:
(14)
wherein R max is the maximum detection distance.
As can be seen from equation (14), the target distance is inversely proportional to the target speed and depends on the pulse repetition period, so that in practical application, the adjustment of the maximum ranging distance and the data rate can be achieved by adjusting the value of the pulse repetition period, for example, by increasing the pulse repetition period, remote target detection is achieved, and the target detection range is enlarged; or by reducing pulse repetition period, the transmission data rate is improved, and the communication performance is optimized.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a joint radar communication system, which comprises a transmitter module and a receiver module; the transmitter module is for performing the method of any of the embodiments described above; the receiver module is configured to perform the method of any of the embodiments described above.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the principle of the transmitter module provided in this embodiment is: the chaotic signal generator generates a chaotic sample signal, the chaotic sample signal is respectively input into the delay module and the operation module, and the chaotic sample signal entering the operation module is multiplied by the sub-LFM waveform to obtain a reference signal S 0 (t). The bit divider divides the received information bit into M information symbols, and inputs the M information symbols into the operation module respectively, multiplies the M information symbols with the chaotic sample signal passing through the delay module, and then multiplies each signal obtained by multiplication with each sub LFM waveform respectively to obtain the corresponding information bearing signal. Forming each information-bearing signal and reference signal into a transmission signal
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the principle of the receiver module provided in this embodiment is:
When the receiver module receives the transmission signal, the JRC transceiver positioned on the radar part performs target detection by using the transmission signal, and the target speed and the target distance are obtained. The receiver located in the communication part is used for analyzing the transmitting signal to obtain a plurality of pulse signals r 0(t)、r1(t)、……、rM (t), then multiplying the plurality of pulse signals with conjugated copies of the LFM waveform respectively to obtain a first matrix a and a second matrix B, multiplying the first matrix a with the transpose of the second matrix B to obtain a first vector z, then inputting the first vector z into the demodulator to obtain modulation bits, and finally inputting the modulation bits into the bit combiner to obtain corresponding data.
In an application example, in order to further explain the effect obtained by the embodiment of the invention, the application example carries out simulation operation based on the method for constructing the joint radar communication waveform signal, and the simulation process and the simulation result are analyzed as follows:
Before simulation, setting simulation parameters: the initial frequency f 0 =0 MHz, the pulse width t=5 mus, and the bandwidth b=40 MHz.
