Definitions

  • the invention relates to an antenna system, radar device and radar method.
  • WO2007/082335 discloses a radar device with 360 degree coverage that comprises a plurality of transmission antennas in a linear array and a circular array of reception antennas in a plane that is orthogonal to the linear array direction. Typically, the transmission antennas are arranged along the central axis of the circular array.
  • WO2007/082335 explains that this arrangement can be used to simulate a much larger array with one transmission antenna and a plurality of reception antennas.
  • a synthetic aperture radar wherein reflections are measured by transmission-reception measurements at a series of positions an antenna pattern can be realized with a main lobe in a selectable direction.
  • a synthetic aperture radar is realized by moving a single antenna successively to different positions to obtain the measurements, or by using respective antennas at different positions for both transmission and reception.
  • reflection values can be obtained that each correspond to a virtual measurement of transmission and reception with an antenna positioned midway between the positions of a transmission and reception antenna. These reflection values can be used according to synthetic aperture radar techniques.
  • WO2007/082335 proposes the use of transmission antennas along a linear array in a direction orthogonal to the plane of the reception antennas.
  • a virtual phased array can be realized with arrays of antenna locations in a plurality of planes successively along the linear array.
  • the transmission antennas are used in a multiplexed way, for example by means of time, frequency or code division multiplexing. This makes it possible to distinguish the received signals from different transmission antennas at each reception antenna, so that distinct virtual antenna locations can be realized for each combination of a transmission antenna and a reception antenna.
  • the diameter of the virtual phased array is about half that of the actual array of reception antennas. This has the effect that the angular resolution of the antenna pattern is coarser than that of a phased array with antennas at the locations of the reception antennas in the actual array.
  • An antenna system comprises at least three transmission antennas arranged at respective positions at corners of a polygon and a plurality of groups of reception antennas, each group comprising reception antennas at positions between the positions of transmission antennas at neighbouring corners of the polygon.
  • the polygon may be a two-dimensional polygon, such as a hexagon for example preferably a regular polygon (a polygon with equal length sides and equal angle corners), the groups of transmission antennas lying between successive pairs of adjacent corners of the polygon.
  • the positions of the reception antennas are said to be between those of the transmission antennas in the sense that they lie at least substantially on a circle or ellipse through the corners of the polygon, or in that they lie at least substantially on edges of the polygon, that is, on straight lines between successive corners.
  • a three dimensional polygon with transmission antennas at its corners may be used, with reception antennas on the ribs of the polygon, or on its faces, or on the surface of a sphere through the corners, for example on great circles of that sphere through adjacent pairs of corners, or on sphere surface segments between such great circles.
  • the midpoints between reception antennas and transmission antennas also lie substantially on the polygon.
  • a larger spatial extent of positions of virtual antennas can be realized than when the transmission antennas lie in the centre of a circle of reception antennas, which leads to a better angular resolution of the antenna.
  • the antenna system comprises a plurality of further transmission antennas, each located adjacent a respective one of the at least three transmission antennas, at a distance from the respective one of the transmission antennas that is substantially half of a distance between adjacent reception antennas in the group.
  • the direction between each transmission antenna and its adjacent further transmission antenna may be substantially the same as a direction to their closest reception antenna.
  • orthogonal projections of the positions of the reception antennas of at least one of the groups onto a line connecting the positions of the corresponding group of reception antennas at neighboring corners of the polygon lie equidistantly from one another.
  • the reception antennas in the group do not all lie on a straight line. They may lie on a curved line, such as a circle for example.
  • the real mutual distances between the positions of adjacent reception antennas of the group will not all be equal. Rather, the distances between their projections will be equal. This makes it possible to provide for better side lobe suppression.
  • the antenna system comprises a plurality of receivers, a multiplexer coupled between the reception elements and the first and second receiver, and a controller coupled to a control input of the multiplexer, the multiplexer being configured to connect a plurality of reception antennas of a same selectable one of the groups to the plurality of receivers in parallel, for concurrent reception.
  • the transmission antennas and the reception antennas comprise an array of conductor structures on a curved surface of a common substrate.
  • a compact panoramic antenna structure can be realized that can be easily manufactured.
  • Figure 1 shows a spatial arrangement of transmission antennas 10 and reception antennas 12.
  • Transmission antennas 10 and reception antennas are placed at positions along the same circle.
  • the reception antennas 12 can be divided into groups of reception antennas located between respective pairs of transmission antennas 10 along the circle.
  • the groups have been schematically indicated by dashed lines 14a-f.
  • six transmission antennas 10 and six groups of four reception antennas 12 have been shown by way of example, it should be appreciated that a different number of reception antennas 12 (for example at least four eight or more) may be used in each group 14a-f and that a different number of transmission antennas 10 and a correspondingly different number of groups 14a-f may be used.
  • successive transmission antennas 10 are located at equal angles from each other, that is, on a regular polygon, so that when N transmission antennas 10 are used, each pair of successive transmission antennas 10 is located at 1/Nth of the full circle from each other.
  • Figure 2 shows a radar signal processing system.
  • the system comprises a signal generator 20, a demultiplexer 22, transmission antennas 10, reception antennas 12, a plurality of first multiplexers 24a-f, a second and third multiplexer 26a,b, a first and second receiver 28a,b and a control and signal processing circuit 29.
  • Signal generator 20 is coupled to transmission antennas 10 via demultiplexer 22.
  • the reception antennas 12 of each group 14a-f are coupled to a respective pair of the first multiplexers 24a-f (only part of the connections shown, for the sake of clarity), half being connected to one first multiplexer of the pair and the other half to the other first multiplexer.
  • the outputs of the first multiplexers 24a-f for part of respective positions in the groups are coupled to signal inputs of second multiplexers 26a,b and the outputs of part of the first multiplexers 24a-f for the other positions in the groups are coupled to signal inputs of third multiplexers 26a,b. So that different first multiplexers 24a-f that are connected to reception antennas 12 from the same group are coupled to different second multiplexers.
  • the outputs of the second and third multiplexers 26a,b are coupled to first inputs of first and second receiver 28a,b respectively.
  • First and second receiver 28a,b have second inputs coupled to the output of signal generator 20.
  • Control and signal processing circuit 29 has inputs coupled to outputs of first and second receiver 28a, b and control outputs coupled to signal generator 20, demultiplexer 22, first multiplexers 24a-f, second multiplexer 26a and third multiplexer 26b.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of an example of an antenna structure.
  • the antenna structure comprises a cylindrical dielectric substrate 30.
  • Antenna elements 32, 34 of the transmission and reception antennas are provided as conductor structures on an outward facing surface of cylindrical dielectric substrate 30.
  • a ground plane 36 is provided on an inward facing surface of cylindrical dielectric substrate 30.
  • control and signal processing circuit 29 controls demultiplexer 22 to feed a transmission signal from signal generator 20 successively to different ones of the transmission antennas 10, to activate the transmission antennas 10 individually. While the transmission signal is fed to an active transmission antenna 10, control and signal processing circuit 29 controls first multiplexers 24a-f in successive time intervals to feed received signals from respective ones of the reception antennas 12 of a same group 14a-f of reception antennas 12 adjacent the active transmission antenna 10 to second and third multiplexers 26a,b. Control and signal processing circuit 29 controls second and third multiplexers 26a,b to feed the received signals from different reception antennas 12 in the selected group to first and second receiver 28a,b respectively.
  • First and second receiver 28a,b determine target response coefficients S(m,n), relating the transmitted signal from a transmission antenna 10 (the value of the label "m” distinguishing transmission antennas at different positions) to the received signal from a reception antenna (the value of the label "n” distinguishing reception antennas at different positions), the target response coefficients being represented for example in terms in phase and quadrature phase component values.
  • the target response coefficients may be corrected for attenuation due to target distance (determined for example from response delay) and/or amplifier gain etc.
  • Control and signal processing circuit 29 causes measurements of coefficients S(m,n) to be performed for each of the reception antennas 12 in the groups adjacent the active transmission antenna 10. This is repeated for all of the transmission antennas 10.
  • coefficients for virtual antennas at a plurality of positions p(m,n) are notionally obtained.
  • a respective receiver may be provided for each antenna element and at the other extreme a set of multiplexers may be provided that selectively connects any one of the antenna elements to a single receiver.
  • Use of a plurality of receivers has the advantage that less measurement time is needed, so that target motion can have less effect on measurement.
  • Use of multiplexers and less receivers than antenna elements reduces circuit size. Using different multiplexers in parallel for receiver antennas between respective a pairs of transmission antennas 10, using the multiplexer structure described for figure 2 , has the advantage that shorter measurement time can be combined with reduced circuit complexity.
  • Control and signal processing circuit 29 applies a synthetic aperture computation technique to the measured coefficients S(m,n) for the positions p(m,n), to obtain a direction sensitive coefficient S(d).
  • d is a direction vector.
  • Direction sensitive coefficients S(d) for a plurality of different directions d are computed, preferable along 360 degrees from the antenna.
  • the antenna pattern factor F(k,d) corresponds to a discrete Fourier transform of the weight factors: sum w(d,m,n)*exp( 2*i*k*p(m,n)), the sum being taken over the antennas labelled by m, n.
  • k is a wave vector in the direction of the object, with a size that is inversely proportional to the wavelength lambda of the radar radiation.
  • the complex weight factors w(d,m,n) may be selected according to techniques for designing synthetic aperture radars, which are known per se.
  • the design aims to realize an antenna pattern factor F(k,d) that has a main antenna lobe with a maximum amplitude when the wave vector and the direction vector are aligned, with a decay of the amplitude as a function of the angle between the wave vector and the direction vector when these vectors are not aligned.
  • the width of main antenna lobe represents the resolution, i.e. the ability to distinguish objects at different angles.
  • weight factors w(d,m,n) may be selected as phase vectors exp( -2*i*k'*p(m,n)), where k' is a wavevector in the direction d, but there is considerable freedom in the selection of the weight factors w(d,m,n).
  • weight factors for certain combinations of transmission and reception antennas may be made zero. For example only weight factors for pairs in a sector of the circle that faces the direction d are non zero.
  • the amplitude of the weight factors may be different for different pairs.
  • An optimization algorithm may be used to select the values of the weight factors. Such optimization algorithms are known from the field of synthetic aperture radar.
  • the width of the main lobe of the antenna pattern factor F(k,d) depends inversely on the size of the spatial range of the positions p(m,n).
  • the positions p(m,n) of the virtual antennas are located approximately on the circle on which the transmission antennas 10 and the reception antennas 12 are located.
  • resolution that is, the width of main lobe in the plane of the circle, is inversely proportional to the radius of the circle.
  • the carrier structure of antenna elements 32, 34 may have the effect that individual antenna elements 32, 34 are useful only for a limited range of directions. Accordingly, the complex weight factors w(d,m,n) for directions d outside this range involving to these antennas may be set to zero.
  • each group 14a-f of reception antennas may be used only (have non zero weight factors w(d,m,n)) for a sector of directions "d" between angles around a broadside direction through the centre of the group.
  • the sector may be limited by virtual lines from the centre of the circle through the positions of the transmission antennas 10 on either side of the group.
  • the reception antennas are used as linear arrays for respective angle ranges.
  • adjacent pairs of such linear arrays, or triplets may be used for respective angle ranges.
  • Each group 14a-f of reception antennas may be used only for a sector of directions "d" between angles defined by lines from the centre of the circle through the middle of neighboring groups for example.
  • the multiplexer structure makes it possible to measure received reflections of a signal from a transmission antenna 10 at reception antennas in a same group in parallel. Measurements from all reception antennas 12 in the group may be performed before switching transmission from another transmission antenna 10. Or measurements from all reception antennas 12 may be performed while only switches between the adjacent transmission antennas on either side of the group are made. In this way, the effect of target motion on measurements with reception antennas within a group can be minimized. Instead of two receivers, a greater number receivers may be used, for example as many receivers as reception antennas in a group. In the latter case, the second and third multiplexer are not needed. When motion is not an issue, a single receiver may suffice, with a multiplexer structure to couple any reception antenna to that receiver.
  • first level multiplexers are provided associated with respective groups, the reception antennas of the group being coupled to inputs of the associated multiplexer of the group.
  • a pair of second level multiplexers is provided, coupled to a first and second receiver, and with inputs coupled to outputs of the first level multiplexers so that first level multiplexers associated with successive sides of the polygon are alternately coupled to a first and second one of the second level multiplexers.
  • the multiplexers may be controlled to connect reception antennas from adjacent groups to the receivers in parallel, while a transmission antenna between the groups is active. This may reduce effects of target motion on the measurements.
  • Figure 4 shows a further spatial arrangement of transmission antennas 10, 40 and reception antennas 12. Neighboring reception antennas 12 in the groups 14a-f are placed substantially equidistantly along the circle. Compared to figure 1 additional transmission antennas 40 have been added, each located on the circle adjacent a respective one of transmission antennas 10 and between neighboring groups 14a-f of reception antennas 12 of that respective one of transmission antennas 10. The distance between the reception antennas 10 and the additional transmission antenna 40 between neighboring groups 14a-f is half that of the distance between neighboring reception antennas 12 in the groups 14a-f.
  • coefficients are measured of signals for transmission antennas 10 each paired with reception antennas 12 from the neighboring groups 14a-f, as well as for additional transmission antenna 40, each paired with reception antennas 12 from the neighboring groups 14a-f.
  • antenna to antenna coefficient are obtained for a denser set of positions p(m,n) of virtual antennas.
  • the antenna to antenna coefficient for this denser set are used for the synthetic aperture computation.
  • the density of the positions p(m,n) determines the amount of aliasing in the antenna pattern factor F(k,d), which corresponds to side lobe amplitude.
  • the use of pairs of transmission antennas between groups increases density and therefore reduces the side lobe pattern compared to the use of single transmission antennas 10 between groups.
  • the antenna positions have been described as positions on a circle, it should be appreciated that because of the discrete nature of the antennas, the antennas are equivalently located at the corners of a two dimensional polygon.
  • the transmission antennas may be located at the corners of a hexangle for example.
  • the weight factors w(d,m,n) are selected as phase vectors exp( -2*i*k'*p(m,n)), the output signal of the antenna system for a direction is a discrete Fourier transform of the coefficients as a function of virtual antenna position, computed for a spatial frequency k' that corresponds to the direction.
  • the antenna output may be computed using weight factors w(d,m,n) in the form of phase vectors exp( - 2*i*k'*q(m,n)*h), wherein q assumes integer values and "h" is a distance.
  • phase vector has the advantage that a fast Fourier transform algorithm may be used to compute the weighted sum of coefficients for virtual positions along the side of the polygon.
  • a fast Fourier transform algorithm produces the weighted sums for a plurality of main lobe directions together. This takes less time than a sum of the times that would be needed for computing Fourier transforms along the side for each main lobe direction individually.
  • the number of antennas in each group 14a-f is preferably a power of two.
  • the results of Fourier transforms for different sides may be added, using different combinations of spatial frequency values for the respective sides, which each substantially corresponds to the component in the direction of the respective sides of the same direction dependent two dimensional spatial frequency vector k' that is determined by the main lobe direction.
  • the results of the Fourier transforms for different sides may be added after multiplying with complex weight vectors that account for the relative positions of the sides.
  • the fast Fourier transform may be computed for virtual positions obtained from combinations of positions of both these transmission antennas 10 and the reception antennas 12 in the group. Otherwise it may be preferred to compute each fast Fourier transform for an individual transmission antenna 10 at one corner at a time combined with the reception antennas 12 and to add the results of the fast Fourier transforms after multiplying with complex weight vectors.
  • the reception antennas 10 within groups 14a-f may lie equidistantly along the circle.
  • Figure 5 shows a detail of another embodiment wherein the distances between reception antennas in a group varies, so that the normal projections 50 of their positions on a chord 52 of the circle between the positions of the transmission antennas 10 on either side of the group 14a-f lie equidistantly.
  • phase corrections may be applied to the antenna signals corresponding to the travel time back and forth between the reception antenna position and its projection in a direction perpendicular to the chord, before applying the Fast Fourier transform.
  • the equidistant projections make it possible to reduce the side lobes in the antenna pattern factor F(k,d), at least for main lobe directions perpendicular to chord 52.
  • each ring may comprise transmission antennas 10 and reception antennas as described for the single ring.
  • transmission antennas 10 may be provided only in a subset of the rings, for example only in the uppermost and lowermost ring.
  • a plurality of transmission antennas may be used in the uppermost and lowermost ring, at half the distance between the rings of reception antennas.
  • the antennas may be arranged on a three dimensional sphere, with the transmission antennas 10 at the corners of a three dimensional polygon.
  • Regular polygons a tetraeder, cube, pentaheder, octaheder, dodecaheder or regular twenty plane
  • the reception antennas 12 may be located on the ribs between corners, or planes between corners.
  • signals from different transmission antennas 10 may be distinguished on the bases of time division multiplexing of transmission from transmission antennas 10.
  • frequency division multiplexing FDM
  • code division mutiplexing CDM
  • the transmission and computation of output signals may be combined with other techniques, such distance resolution and/or target speed resolution on the basis of pulse delay measurement, Doppler shift, or FMCW techniques (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave techniques). Reflections from targets at different distances and/or at different target speeds may be resolved before or after combining the coefficients for different combinations of transmission antennas 10 and reception antennas 12.
