Definitions
- the invention relates to a radar system for use in driver assistance systems in motor vehicles.
- the radar system according to the invention has means and methods for analyzing and monitoring the frequency position over a series of similar transmission signals. If the course of the frequency deviation deviates too much from its desired course over the sequence of transmission signals, either corrective measures are used or the driver assistance system is partially or completely deactivated.
- Motor vehicles are increasingly being equipped with driver assistance systems which detect the surroundings with the aid of sensor systems and derive automatic reactions of the vehicle from the traffic situation thus recognized and / or instruct the driver, in particular warn him. A distinction is made between comfort and safety functions.
- FSRA Frell Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control
- Safety functions are now available in a variety of forms.
- a group form functions to reduce the braking or stopping distance in emergency situations;
- the spectrum of the corresponding driver assistance functions ranges from an automatic pre-fill of the brake to the reduction of the brake latency (Prefill), an improved brake assist (BAS +) up to the autonomous emergency braking.
- Another group are lane change functions: they warn the driver or intervene in the steering if the driver wants to make a dangerous lane change, ie if a vehicle in the secondary lane is either in the blind spot (is called BSD - "Blind Spot Detection"). - called) or approaching quickly from behind (LCA - "Lane Change Assist"). In the foreseeable future, however, the driver will no longer be assisted, but the driver's task will increasingly be done autonomously by the vehicle itself, ie the driver will increasingly be replaced; one speaks of autonomous driving.
- radar sensors are used, often also in fusion with sensors of other technology such as e.g. Camera sensors.
- Radar sensors have the advantage that they can work reliably even in bad weather conditions and, in addition to the distance between objects, they can also directly measure their radial relative speed via the Doppler effect.
- the transmission frequencies are 24GHz, 77GHz and 79GHz.
- the radar image must correspond to reality, i. that the object sizes, in particular distance, relative speed and angle must be correct, that no objects are overlooked and that no so-called ghost objects, which in reality do not exist, may be reported.
- the central element of radar sensors is the modulation of the transmission frequency in order to measure distance and relative speed.
- the most common type of modulation is the frequency modulation, in particular a linear change of the frequency, often a series of similar linearly modulated transmission signals is used.
- Due to an erroneous frequency position (ie center frequency, for example) of the individual transmission signals for example due to failure or malfunction of individual circuit components or fundamental frequency instability or frequency drift, the errors described above can occur, ie object sizes measured incorrectly, objects not detected and ghost objects.
- the driver assistance function implemented with the radar system could have a faulty functioning; in an emergency brake assistant, e.g. An unauthorized emergency braking can be activated by ghost objects, which could lead to a rear-end collision of a subsequent vehicle with serious consequences to deaths.
- the object of the invention is to propose arrangements and methods for analyzing the frequency position over a series of similar transmission signals for a radar system, which differ from the approach set out in DE 10 2016 214 808 and can be or are more advantageous due to technological boundary conditions and implementation-technical aspects ,
- methods are to be proposed which can either work with large frequency divider factors or have no reinitialization of counters.
- a method for a radar system for detecting the surroundings of a motor vehicle and realizing a function for driver assistance and / or for autonomous driving maneuvers comprises the steps of generating a frequency modulation by means of a controllable oscillator, generating a sequence of Ko (Ko> 1) in the transmission frequency modulated transmit signals, each same Setpoint frequency course possibly apart from a variation of the frequency position, so in particular a variation of the beginning and thus synonymous mean frequency, emitting of transmission signals by means of transmission, receiving reflected on objects transmission signals by receiving means, analyzing the frequency position of the transmission signals and evaluating the received signals, in particular for the detection of objects, by means of signal processing means, wherein over the Ko Sendesignale away resulting actual course of the frequency position, ie in particular the actual course of the initial, the center or the center frequency of the transmission signals, or its caused for example by frequency instability or frequency drift deviation from the desired course absolutely or relative, that is, except for an indeterminate constant component, is determined, wherein a discrete-time signal
- the method for a radar system can further be configured as follows, for the analysis, a signal is used, which is compared to the transmission signal by frequency division by the factor T> 1 and / or reduced by mixing in the frequency, these resulting from the transmission signals low-frequency signals are optionally sampled after filtering, a complex value is determined from these sampled signals resulting from the transmitted signals, in each case one or more time segments per transmission signal, in particular by sampling values of the respective section being at least approximately the expected phase extension.
- phase characteristic values which results from the local nominal frequency characteristic of the transmission signals.
- Hilbert filtering and the accumulation of the phase-corrected sampled values over the respective time segment enable a scalar product to be realized between the sampled values and a preferably precalculated parameter vector.
- the course of the frequency position can be determined absolutely or relatively, that is, down to an indeterminate constant component.
- the pairs of phase characteristics are each formed from the same transmission signal, wherein preferably the one value from a time period in the front of the Transmitting signals and the second value is formed from a period of time in the rear region of the transmission signals.
- the pairs of phase characteristics can each be formed from different transmission signals, for example from successive transmission signals, both values belonging to time segments of the same position over the transmission signals.
- the frequency of the emitted transmission signals can be linearly modulated, the signals received by rejecting the transmission signals to objects by mixing with a signal whose frequency corresponds to the current transmission frequency or differs from it by a constant factor, are converted into the low-frequency range, the low-frequency received signals are sampled in an equidistant grid NA times, on these NA samples each a first spectral analysis is formed in particular in the form of a discrete Fourier transform, in particular a distance measurement of the objects and a separation for the simultaneous detection of several Objects to be realized, and at frequency support points of the first spectral analysis in each case a second spectral analysis is carried out in particular using the discrete Fourier transform, which is about all or a Unt amount of quantity which accumulates at the respective frequency support point during the Ko transmission signals in order to be able to realize in particular a relative velocity measurement of the objects and a separation for the simultaneous detection of several objects.
- the expected spectrum of the second spectral analysis of a target at a distance r with the relative velocity zero can be determined from the determined actual frequency position over the Ko transmission signals, the resulting spectrum or its magnitude can be used directly for deriving a quality measure, and or deriving from the deviation of the spectrum from the expected at the desired frequency position spectrum of a target in the distance r with the relative speed zero a measure of goodness, wherein for both Spectral analysis the same window function is used and the resulting spectra for the comparison are based on an equal level.
- the method for a radar system can be derived from a measure of merit, whether a detection by deviation of the actual frequency position on the Ko transmission signals away from the target frequency position could have originated from another detected object, and then possibly discarded completely this detection or as a potential mock detection be marked.
- the difference between the desired and actual course of the frequency position, a regression can be performed and the parameters of the compensation function and / or the deviation, in particular the standard deviation between the actual course and compensation function can be used as a measure of quality.
- a deviation from actual to nominal course of the frequency position can be corrected directly or after performing a regression by multiplication with a complex unit vector between first and second spectral analysis, wherein the phase of the complex unit vector proportional to this deviation and proportional to Frequency of the respective frequency support point of the first spectral analysis is.
- the center frequency of the transmission signals or their deviation from the desired center frequency can be determined and used for the calculation of the relative speed and / or the angular position of objects.
- a radar system is set up to carry out a method according to a preceding preferred embodiment.
- Fig. 1 the exemplary embodiment of a radar system is shown.
- 2 shows the frequency of the transmission and the reception signals, which consists of so-called frequency ramps, as well as the respectively used antenna combinations consisting of transmitting and receiving antennas.
- Fig. 3 shows a sampled signal in the presence of two objects before the first DFT (left) and after the first DFT (right).
- FIG. 5 schematically shows the two-dimensional complex-valued spectrum e (j, l, m) after the second DFT for an antenna combination m.
- FIG. 6 shows the different path lengths between the individual antennas and a distant object relative to the sensor at an azimuth angle C (Az ⁇ 0.
- Fig. 7a shows an antenna arrangement with a transmitting and 8 receiving antennas, which is equivalent to the antenna arrangement according to Fig. 1 with 2 transmitting and 4 receiving antennas; in Fig. 7b are shown for this equivalent arrangement, the different path lengths between the individual antennas and a distant relatively relative to the sensor object.
- Fig. 8a shows, for the above antenna arrangements, the complex spectral value, which is rotating via the antenna combinations, in the distance relative speed gate (9,0) in which exactly one object (resting relative to the sensor) is located; in FIG. 8b, the associated spectrum according to the third DFT is shown in terms of magnitude.
- FIG. 1 1 shows the frequency position error AfE (k, 0) for an actual course, which is curved relative to the desired course of the frequency position and additionally has a periodic disturbance.
- FIG. 12b shows the relative difference between these two velocity spectra.
- the radar system has 2 transmission antennas TXO and TX1 for emitting transmission signals and 4 reception antennas RX0-RX3 for receiving transmission signals reflected on objects;
- the antennas are implemented on a planar board 1 .1 in planar technology as patch antennas, this board with respect to horizontal and vertical direction in the vehicle as shown in the image is oriented. All antennas (transmit and receive antennas) have the same beam characteristic in elevation and in azimuth.
- the 4 receiving antennas (and thus their phase, ie emission centers) each have the same lateral, d. H.
- One of the two transmitting antennas and one of the four receiving antennas can be selected via the multiplexers 1 .3 and 1 .4.
- the transmitted on the respectively selected transmitting antenna transmission signals are obtained from the high-frequency oscillator 1 .2 in the 24GHz range, which can be changed in its frequency via a control voltage v control.
- the control voltage is generated in the control means 1 .9, wherein these control means include, for example, a phase-locked loop or a digital-to-analog converter, which are controlled so that the frequency response of the oscillator at least approximately corresponds to the desired frequency modulation.
- the signals received by the respectively selected receiving antenna are also down-converted in the real-valued mixer 1 .5 to the signal of the oscillator 1 .2 in the low-frequency range.
- the received signals then pass through a bandpass filter 1 .6 with the transmission function shown, an amplifier 1 .7 and an analog / digital converter 1 .8; then they are further processed in the digital signal processing unit 1 .10.
- the frequency of the high-frequency oscillator and thus of the transmission signals is changed very rapidly linearly (in 8 s by 187.5 MHz, the center frequency being 24.15 GHz), as shown in FIG. 2; one speaks of a frequency ramp.
- the frequency ramps are repeated periodically (every 10 s); In total, there are 2048 frequency ramps, all of which have the same nominal frequency response.
- the 8 combinations of the 2 transmit and 4 receive antennas are periodic in the order TX0 / RX0, TX0 / RX1, TX0 / RX2, TX0 / RX3, TX1 / RX0, TX1 / RX1, TX1 / RX2 and TX1 / RX3 repeated, wherein before each frequency ramp each next combination is selected.
- the received signal is mixed real-valued with the oscillator and thus transmission frequency, results after the mixer a sinusoidal oscillation with the frequency Af.
- This frequency is in MHz range and is still shifted at a non-vanishing radial relative speed by the Doppler frequency, but which is only in the kHz range and therefore approximately negligible compared to the frequency component by the object distance. If there are several objects, the received signal is a superposition of several sinusoidal oscillations of different frequencies.
- the receive signal at the A / D converter is sampled 256 times at intervals of 25 ns (ie 40 MHz) (see FIG. 2), the sampling always commencing at the same time relative to the start of the ramp.
- signal sampling only makes sense in the time range where received signals arrive from objects in the range of interest - after ramp start, at least the corresponding maximum transit time must be awaited (this corresponds to a maximum interest of 99m) 0.66 s); It should be noted that here and below by distance always the radial distance is understood.
- a discrete Fourier transform in the form of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) is formed over the 256 samples of each frequency ramp.
- DFT discrete Fourier transform
- FFT fast Fourier transform
- the range gates where there are objects, power peaks occur in the DFT. Since the sampled received signals are real-valued (no additional information in the upper half of the DFT, since symmetric) and the upper transition region of the analog bandpass filter 1 .6 of FIG.
- the Filter 1 .6 attenuates small frequencies and thus the received signals from nearby objects to an overdrive of the amplifier 1 .7 and the A / D converter 1 .8 (the signals received at the antennas become stronger with decreasing object distance).
- Several objects with different radial relative velocity in the same distance gate are separated by calculating a second DFT for each antenna combination and each range gate via the complex spectral values occurring in the 256 frequency ramps.
- a two-dimensional complex-valued spectrum v (j, l, m) results for each antenna combination m, wherein the individual cells can be referred to as distance-relative-velocity gates and through objects power peaks at the respectively associated distance-relative velocity Tor occur (see Fig. 5).
- the information from the 8 antenna combinations is then fused.
- the waves originating from the two transmitting antennas and reflected at a single point-like object arrive at the four receiving antennas with different phase positions relative to each other, depending on the azimuth angle CIAZ, since the distances between object and transmitting and receiving antennas are slightly different. This will now be explained in more detail, wherein the observed object should first rest relative to the sensor, ie, it has the relative speed zero.
- the quantity (2a + d / 2 + md) represents the horizontal distance of the so-called relative phase center of the antenna combination m to the reference point RP and is the sum of the horizontal distance of the associated transmitting and receiving antenna to the reference point (the relative phase center of a combination of transmitting and transmitting antennas). and a receive antenna is defined here as the sum of the two vectors from a reference point to the phase centers of the transmit and receive antennas).
- the arrangement presented here according to FIG. 1 has the advantage that it has almost only half the horizontal extent in comparison to the conventional arrangement according to FIG. 7a, as a result of which the sensor size can be significantly reduced.
- one forms sums about the complex values for the 8 antenna combinations, which are each multiplied by a set of complex factors with a linearly changing phase; Depending on the linear phase change of the respective factor set, radiation beams with different beam directions result. The beam width of these radiation lobes is significantly lower than that of the individual antennas.
- the summation described above is realized by a 16-point DFT, where the 8 values of the 8 antenna combinations are supplemented by 8 zeros.
- Fig. 8b the magnitude w (j, l, n) of the spectrum of the third DFT for the ratios of Fig.
- the power peaks By determining the power peaks, one can thus detect objects and determine their distance, relative velocity (apart from any ambiguities, see above) and azimuth angle (for each ambiguity hypothesis the relative velocity corresponds to a value, see FIG. 9). Since power peaks due to the DFT windowings also have levels in neighboring cells, the object dimensions can be determined much more accurately than the gate widths by interpolation as a function of these levels. It should be noted that the window functions of the three DFTs are chosen such that on the one hand the power peaks do not become too wide (for sufficient object separation), but on the other hand the side lobes of the window spectra do not become too high (even weakly reflective objects in the presence of highly reflective To recognize objects).
- From the height of the power peaks can be estimated as the fourth object measure nor its reflection cross-section, which indicates how much the object reflects the radar waves. Due to the noise present in each system (for example due to thermal noise), after the three-dimensional DFT, even without received object reflections, a certain level of performance results; this noise level, which varies to some extent by statistical effects, represents the lower physical limit of the detection capability.
- the detection threshold above which power peaks are formed into objects is placed about 12 dB above the average noise.
- the described detection of objects and the determination of the associated object dimensions represent a measurement cycle and provide an instantaneous image of the environment; this is cyclically repeated approximately every 40ms.
- the instantaneous images are tracked, filtered and evaluated over successive cycles;
- Reasons are in particular:
- Some sizes can not be determined directly in a cycle, but only from the change over successive cycles (eg longitudinal acceleration and lateral velocity),
- Tracing and filtering object detections over consecutive cycles is also referred to as tracking.
- values for the next cycle are predicted from the tracked object dimensions of the current cycle for each object. These predictions are compared with the objects detected in the next cycle as snapshots and their object dimensions in order to assign them to each other. Then the predicated and measured object measures belonging to the same object are fused, resulting in the actual tracked object measures, which thus represent values filtered over successive cycles. If certain object dimensions can not be determined unambiguously in one cycle, the different hypotheses must be taken into account in tracking. From the tracked objects and the associated tracked object measures, the environment situation for the respective driver assistance function is analyzed and interpreted, in order to derive the corresponding actions.
- the linearity error of the frequency modulation ie a deviation of the actual course of the transmission frequency within the transmission signals from a linear regression with a desired gradient
- the frequency ramps are offset from one another; such an offset can be caused by slow frequency change, for example by low-frequency disturbances in the supply voltage.
- Such an erroneous frequency position ie, for example, a varying center frequency at a constant target center frequency
- the power peaks in the dimension relative speed are blurred or frayed, resulting in erroneously measured relative speed, obscuring smaller objects by larger objects and generation of Can lead to ghost objects.
- the driver assistance function implemented with the radar system could have a faulty functioning; in an emergency brake assistant, for example by ghost objects an unauthorized emergency braking could be activated, which could lead to a rear-end collision of a subsequent vehicle with serious consequences to deaths.
- the output of a divider has a rectangular shape; in Fig. 10 a section is shown (solid curve).
- a typical anti-aliasing low pass whose cut-off frequency is at half the sampling frequency, ie 20 MHz, can be used here.
- the resulting sinusoidal signal is also shown in FIG. 10 (dashed curve).
- the phase profile (pT (t, k, m) of this sinusoidal signal ST (t, k, m) is obtained by integration of the divided-down frequency fT (t, k, m), so that
- STA (n, k, m) A S COS (2TT- [frs / fA-n + bi / 2 / fA 2 -n 2 ] + (po (k, m))
- Af ET (k, m) Af E (k, m) / T, which is constant during a frequency ramp but changes from ramp to ramp.
- the real signal STA (n, k, m) also carries a noise component r (n, k, m), which arises for example due to phase noise of the oscillator and quantization effects in the A / D conversion. Overall, the real signal STA (n, k, m) then results in:
- STA (n, k, m) A s -cos (2n- [fTs / fA-n + bi / 2 / fA 2 -n 2 + AfET (k, m) / fA-n] + ⁇ po (k, m)) + r (n, k, m), where 0 ⁇ n ⁇ 8Ms fA, ie 0 ⁇ n ⁇ 320.
- the frequency error AfET (k, m)
- the phase response of the real signal STA (n, k, m)
- the phase response expected for the desired frequency response For this, the real-valued signals STA (n, k, m) are first to be converted into their corresponding complex-valued signal, that is, into their analytic signal STAc (n, k, m):
- STAc (n, k, m) A s -exp (i- (2n- [fTs / fA-n + bT / 2 / fA 2 -n 2 + AfET (k, m) / fA-n] + ⁇ po (k, m))) + rc (n, k, m), where rc (n, k, m) is the analytic signal of noise r (n, k, m) and has a much smaller amplitude than the payload of the Signal with amplitude A s ; denotes the imaginary unit.
- An analytic signal is generated by complex-valued filtering with a so-called ideal Hilbert filter, which suppresses all negative frequencies and transmits all positive frequencies with constant transmission factor 1.
- a so-called ideal Hilbert filter which suppresses all negative frequencies and transmits all positive frequencies with constant transmission factor 1.
- phase curve From the phases of the complex values STAc (n, k, m) determined by measurement and processing and the known parameters rs, bT and fA, the phase curve can now be determined
- AfEmess (k, m) ((pTEmess (n2, k, ITl) - (pTEmess (ni, k, ITl)) ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ / (2 ⁇ ⁇ ( ⁇ 2- ⁇ ⁇ )), this measured frequency error AfEmess (k , m) differs from the actual frequency error AfE (k, m) by the measurement error
- AfEmessE (k, m) ((p r (n2, k, nn)) (p r (ni, k, nn)) ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ / (2 ⁇ ⁇ ( ⁇ 2- ⁇ ))
- the frequency error AfEmess (k, m) determined by measurement then represents the mean frequency error during a frequency ramp (apart from the measurement error AfEmessE (k, m)).
- the measurement error AfEmessE (k, m) caused by the phase noise (p r (n, k, nn) can be significantly too large.
- An improvement can be achieved by starting at the beginning and end of the selected time interval [ni, n2] not only each one of the Phasencludennessamide (pTEmess (n, k, m) used, but several, to average out the phase noise.)
- a direct means of the PhasenThatnness sweater is unfavorable, since they are on the one hand only on multiples of 2 ⁇ unique ( Therefore, since this can lead to phase jumps) and since this would be an averaging in a nonlinear dimension in terms of signal theory, it is better to average the phase error measurement values (pTEmess (n, k, m) indirectly via corresponding complex-valued unit indicators exp (
- phase error measured values pTEmess (n, k, m)
- the phase pointer exp
- the complex-valued signal STAc (n, k, m) includes this phase pointer (see corresponding relationships above); therefore one can assume for the averaging of the complex-valued signal STAc (n, k, m).
- -2n - [fTs / fA-n + bT / fA 2 -n 2 ]) can be realized (one performs quasi a frequency normalization):
- STACN (n, k, m) A s -exp (i- (2n-AfET (k, m) / fA-n + (po (k, m))) + rcN (n, k, m); It should be noted that the statistical properties of the noise rcN (n, k, m) do not change since it was multiplied by values with amplitude 1.
- phase characteristic Pi k
- P2 k, m
- P2 pTEmess (k, m)
- a (pTEmess (k, m) 2TT-afet (k, m) / FA (n2-ni (N-1)) + A (p r (k, m); where N is the number of times per time period values used for averaging, and A (p r (k, nn) adjusts the unknown phase noise component, which is now reduced by averaging over the N values per time segment, It should be emphasized that the starting phase varies over the ramps i (po (k, m) is again implicitly eliminated.
- AfEmess (k, m) A (pTEmess (k, nn) ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ / (2 ⁇ ⁇ ( ⁇ 2- ⁇ - ( ⁇ -1))), this measured frequency error AfEmess (k, m) differs from the actual frequency error AfE (k, m) around the measurement error
- Af E measE (k, m) Acp r (k, m) ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ / (2 ⁇ ⁇ ( ⁇ 2 - ⁇ - ( ⁇ -1))).
- the signal STAc (n, k, m) was frequency normalized by multiplication with a corresponding phase pointer (ie the target frequency response was excluded) and then these values were obtained per respective time segments accumulated together.
- Multiplication and accumulation can be formulated or determined together as a scalar product in one step; the one vector consists of the signal STAc (n, k, m) in the considered period, the other consists of corresponding phase pointers.
- the signal STAc (n, k, m) has been generated by a complex-valued Hilbert filtering of the first degree from the real-valued signal STA (n, k, m), ie by weighted addition of the two values STA (n, k, m) and STA (n -1, k, m). This filtering and the scalar product determined from the filtered values can also be seen as a single scalar product.
- phase characteristics can be determined directly from the real-valued signal STA (n, k, m) via a scalar product; the one vector consists of the signal STA (n, k, m) in the time period considered plus the previous value (ie, the considered time gate effectively extends by one point in time), the other vector is formed essentially over the sum of phase pointers (the Filter coefficients are also phase pointers), whereby it is sufficient to determine this parameter vector once a priori, since it is the same for all frequency ramps.
- the zero point could also be changed via the frequency ramp, so that it always lies at the negative of the respective nominal frequency and accordingly calculates the parameter vectors of the scalar products.
- the frequency response between the frequency ramps will always be the same; Therefore, a relative determination of the frequency position, ie the determination of their change on the ramps possible - indefinitely remains only a constant proportion, which is not very critical for the monitoring, since only very large constant frequency position errors would be critical (which generally do not occur ) and these can also be determined by other methods.
- the frequency normalization is then carried out at each frequency ramp with the same phase pointers; ie the unknown, but constant, phase progression from ramp to ramp remains undisturbed.
- phase characteristic value will thus change from ramp to ramp by a constant value (precisely around this uncompensated constant phase progress);
- the phase difference A (pTEmess (k, m) between two successive time segments, ie two ramps, determined analogously above via the phase characteristic values, is therefore constant in the undisturbed case, but if the frequency position changes, the measured phase differences A (pTEmeas (k, m), normalizing the phase differences to the first value A (pTEmess (0,1), ie the phase difference of the first and second ramps, one obtains for the measured frequency error AfEmess (k, m) normalized to its first value
- the relative error AfEmessR (k, m) of the frequency position represents the mean value between the respective two time segments (which are at the end of two consecutive ramps) and thus slightly ahead of the average error in the sampling period from the received signal of the frequency ramp k, m.This could be corrected by interpolation with the following value, which is negligible with slow changes in the frequency position.
- the advantage of this approach is that the time period between the two considered periods is longer and thus the influence of, for example, generated by quantization by the A D converter phase noise A (p r (k, nn) becomes smaller (the measurement error is A (pr ( k, m) TV (2TT Atc) and thus inversely proportional to the time between the centers of the two time periods.)
- AfEmessR (k, m) or the period between the two time periods used extend over all 8 antenna combinations (so only one frequency position error is determined per index k, which is sufficient for slow frequency drifts, eg due to thermal transient effects).
- the same frequency response must be present between the two time periods (apart from the interferences to be determined), ie. the setpoint to the frequency generation (that is, for example, the drive signal of a PLL) must be the same. So if you use variable parameters in the frequency response, you can not vary them arbitrarily; when varying the spacing of frequency ramps is a possible approach that only uses a different distance for every second frequency ramp, while the distance at the other frequency ramps has a fixed value. Then one determines the error of the frequency position only from pairs with a constant distance; one does not use the pairs with varying distances, but interpolates the error there from the two neighboring values.
- phase pointers for frequency normalization can then have arbitrary start values in both time periods, they need only be equal over all frequency ramps (for example, always start phase zero).
- the preferred approach is to compensate for the frequency position error AfE (k, m). Changing the frequency position will change the phase position of the received signal, since a changed number of wave trains fits into the path to the object and back. Thus, for example, if it increases, e.g. the frequency position is around 1 MHz and the duration is 1 s (object at 150 m distance), then exactly one wave train fits in more, so that the phase changes by 2 ⁇ ; the effect is proportional to the distance r of the object and the frequency change AfE (k, m). This results in the phase change A (p (k, m) of the received signal in general too
- a constant error of the frequency position ie a constant deviation of the center frequency of the frequency ramps from its nominal value changes the mean wavelength and thus has an effect on the calculated relative speed and angular position of objects (see derivations above).
- phase correction vector PK (j, k, m)
- a filtered or smoothed frequency position error e.g., smoothing the measured frequency position error AfE (k, m) by a regression curve
- an actual course of the frequency position is considered, which is curved with respect to the constant desired course and additionally has a periodic disturbance - in Fig. 1 1, the corresponding frequency position error AfE (k, 0) is shown.
- mine may perform a regression (e.g., a 1st or 2nd degree polynomial regression) and use the parameters of the balancing function (e.g., the polynomial) and / or the variance, particularly the standard deviation between actual and balancing, as a measure of goodness.
- these values only give a rough indication of the deterioration of the detection quality (for the case considered here, that the frequency position error is not compensated).
- e (j, k, m) w (k) -exp (i-2TT- (k-Vrei / 280km / h + Af E (k, m ) / 1 MHz-j / 150)), where w (k) represents the window function used for the second DFT and the amplitude is taken off as 1 and the starting frequency as zero, as this is not relevant for further consideration; the first phase component describes the linear phase sen selectedung by the relative velocity v rel, the second phase fraction represents the influence of the uncompensated position error frequency AfE (k, m) and results from the above derivation of the phase correction values.
- a limit curve In order to assess the quality of the frequency position, it is possible, for example, to check the velocity spectra v (99, l, m) calculated for the actual frequency position to a limit curve; Alternatively, one can also check the amount of the difference between the speed spectra to the actual and target frequency position to a limit curve.
- the difference amount of the velocity spectra for the example is shown above, normalized to the maximum of the velocity spectrum to the target frequency position and plotted in dB; By normalizing to the maximum of the speed spectrum to the desired frequency position is also called the relative difference.
- Checking for a limit curve represents a binary measure of quality (that is, with the two result states, good or bad); Alternatively, it is also possible to define an analogue quality measure, for example the maximum relative difference between the speed spectra and the actual frequency position.
- the frequency position was monitored during the actual transmission signals (ie for the transmission signals whose associated reception signals are evaluated for environment detection).
- the additional AD converter for digitizing the divided-down oscillator signal one could also use the A / D converter used to sample the received signals. Then the monitoring of the frequency position but could not be done in parallel toembraced vented; One would therefore introduce another sequence of transmission signals with the same frequency response alone for monitoring the frequency position - monitoring the frequency position and environment detection would then be at different frequency ramps, which are arranged either in two sequentially successive blocks or preferably by interlacing.
- One could use the ramps used to monitor the frequency position also switch off the transmission power (to save power and if this does not affect the error of the frequency position).
- Az (k, m) Z2 (k, m) - zi (k, m).
- the error of the frequency position results as a deviation of this determined by measurement center frequency and its setpoint.
- To reduce the measurement error it is also possible to compare the counter values of two points in time which are located in different frequency ramps (measurement error is inversely proportional to the distance between the two readout times).
- the approaches that can be used for digitization an A / D converter have been discussed in detail above, are transmitted analog here.
- the real counter in their length, that is limited in their maximum count and it may come to overflow - so they reach the maximum count, then they jump back to 0 with the next edge to be counted. This corresponds to a modulo calculation; If one carries out the evaluations of the counter, ie the subtraction, also in the modulo calculation, then there are no distortions in the result due to overflow unless the number of periods to be counted between the two time points ti and t.2 does not exceed the counter length (ie the maximum Counter reading) exceeds: At a time difference enough for a 16bit long counter. If the counter is shorter, then you can no longer measure the center frequency clearly. However, since only the deviation from a known nominal value and / or the change over the frequency ramps is to be measured, a uniqueness in the MHz range is sufficient; with a uniqueness range of 160MHz an 8bit long counter is sufficient.
- the accuracy of the measurement decreases as the divider ratio T increases.
- the less the frequency is divided down the faster the meter is, the faster the counter is, but it is expensive to implement and requires a lot of power.
- Frequency mixing can circumvent this problem because it does not affect the accuracy of the measurement; however, generating a second signal in the 24 GHz range is expensive. Therefore, a combination of division and mixing can also be implemented.
- the oscillator signal first divided by a factor of 4 to the range of about 6.04GHz and then down-mixed with a fixed frequency of 5.8GHz, so that the counter only has to work in the range of well 200MHz.
- Another approach to reducing the divisor factor T is a counter that counts both the positive and negative edges of the divided down signal.
- the A / D conversion has the advantage, in comparison to the counter approach, that it can work with larger frequency divider factors, since they are in principle free. frequencies or phases can measure more accurately (at the same frequencies of the input signals). But an A D-converter but i. Gen. To realize more complex than a counter (with the same frequencies of the input signals), and the evaluation of the A D converter values is more complex than that of the counter values.
