The detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention
Figure 1A represents the transmitted waveform and the reflection configuration of FM/CW radar system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention in simplified form.Having the warbled CW signal that changes with diagonal manner is launched away by antenna.The frequency change of this signal is represented with block curve 100 in Fig. 1.Being arranged in the frequency change that has a single goal reflected signal of single return to set a distance apart from transmitter from one represents at Fig. 1 with dashed lines curve 102.Because primary event only occurs for this simplification example, the frequency of the reflected signal of reception will be followed the tracks of the frequency that transmits with a time delay δ t=2r/c, and r is that the distance and the c of object are the lighies velocity in the formula.
Compare near the point (except that the illustrated discrete frequency point) at any time with the frequency of reflected signal if will transmit, difference on the frequency between these two kinds of signals is δ f=s δ t, wherein s is a frequency to the rate of change of time, i.e. slope of a curve among Figure 1A.
Figure 1B represents the simple emittor/receiver according to a FM/CW radar system of Figure 1A principle work.Generator 110 has the signal of frequency change as shown in Figure 1A.This signal is amplified by power amplifier 112 and is launched away by the direct path of sensor 114 to emitting antenna 116.
The return signal that receives from the sample that transmits of sensor 114 and by receiving antenna 118 in a frequency mixer 120 by mixing, and by bandpass filter (BPF) 122 filtering, this wave filter is removed unwanted return signal, as the signal elimination that the extraneous object of given object distance is returned.Mixing and filtered signal spin frequently be basically rely on by the mapping object apart from linear change.From the signal of BPF122 then by 124 digitizings of a modulus (A/D) converter, this digitized signal comprises from transmitting and both LFM frequency components of received signal, and analyze by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) (FFT) or other frequency analyzer 126, to produce the frequency spectrum shown in Fig. 1 c.
Should be appreciated that Figure 1B is the form extremely simplified of a kind of FM/CW radar and the many modification that have circuit part.For example, can use circulator and single antenna to replace the system of sensor shown in Fig. 1 and double antenna and/or carry out digitizing or system earlier in signal path is simulation system fully.In addition, preferably use the monopulse receiver to improve the angle resolution of receiving antenna, as described below.Just as is known in the art, other modification of circuit shown in Fig. 1 also is possible.
Fig. 1 c represents to be used for the output of the frequency analyzer 126 of simple reflex shown in Figure 1A.Spiking 125 when the signal output that representative transmits is represented as corresponding to frequency If (fo).This signal plays the effect of the reference signal of reflected signal, a spiking 127 that is expressed as in the drawings greater than reference signal frequency δ f place in the reflected signal.If receive reflection more than 1 simultaneously from one or more targets, they will be by representing corresponding to the branch spectrum component on each frequency of their distances.
A kind of FM/CW radar is differentiated range resolution and the angle resolution that the ability of different components in all reflections depends on system.When if the angle resolution is not enough, the frequency component of two targets of then separating on the angle will overlap and can not differentiate between them.Similarly, if range resolution is not enough, then can not differentiate the object that radially separates.
When the close object of mapping distance, must obtain high angle resolution with very large antenna usually, because at the authentication technique that uses other in such cases, receive normally unpractiaca as monopulse.But the present invention uses extra high range resolution, differentiates that this will be as described in detail below so that needing to avoid just to make angle by the simple venation receiver with big antenna.This system is inapplicable when not having high range resolution.
The present invention is a kind of FM/CW radar system described in upper and lower literary composition, and it is as preferred example.But, should be appreciated that other method and system, for example also replaceable the making of short-pulse radar system is used to provide high range resolution required for the present invention.Yet this FM/CW embodiment is for preferably always simpler lower with implementation cost because of it.
Basic demand to high range resolution when using the FM/CW radar is the split hair linearity of signal source 110, or it is very stable and predictable over time at least, so that can make correction for any non-linear of frequency sweeping.Show that as following this system obtains according to an aspect of the present invention.
As mentioned above, prior art system is not used for the ASDR system with the FM/CW system, is because the target of ASDR system is differentiated the surperficial incompatibility between requirement and the FM/CW method ability.This has just caused being used for the high power of ASDR system, the big system of common insecure very short pulse.
The simplification circuit block diagram of ASDR system according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated among Fig. 2.A basic FM/CW signal that produces as shown in fig. 1 based on the waveform generator 130 of DDS below will describing more comprehensively.This waveform by one for example the step-up frequency changer 132 of traditional approach transform to the Ku frequency band, this step-up frequency changer receives a reference frequency by lead 136 from driver.Driver 134 also produces one or more fixed frequency signals, and it is used from lead 138 receptions and with the control signal of coming self-controller 140 that receives from lead 142 by waveform generator 130, to produce basic FM/CW signal.
