Definitions
- the invention relates to radar methods and a radar system for use in driver assistance systems in motor vehicles.
- the radar system has a high range resolution with a low signal processing load.
- driver assistance systems which, with the aid of sensor systems, detect the surroundings and derive automatic reactions of the vehicle from the traffic situation detected in this way and/or instruct the driver, in particular warn them.
- FSRA Full Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control
- Radar sensors are predominantly used today for driver assistance systems of the type described above. These work reliably even in poor weather conditions and, in addition to the distance from objects, can also directly measure their radial relative speed using the Doppler effect. 24 and 77 GHz are used as transmission frequencies.
- the functions mentioned above require a fairly high sensor range while at the same time having high distance measurement accuracy, resolution and separation capability.
- the high range resolution and selectivity is also important because it can at least partially offset the poor angular resolution and selectivity of automotive radar sensors (resulting from their small size).
- a simultaneous high range and distance resolution typically require a high level of digital signal processing, which is difficult to implement since corresponding signal processors for use in a motor vehicle are currently only available to a limited extent and are expensive.
- the object of the invention is to be able to simultaneously achieve a long range and high distance resolution with a motor vehicle radar sensor, even for relatively moving objects, with moderate effort for the digital signal processing.
- this object is achieved with the aid of a radar method or a radar system according to one of Claims 1-12.
- the radar modulation and the signal evaluation are to be designed in order to be able to realize a high measurement accuracy and resolution both for the distance and for the relative speed of objects.
- this has transmission means for emitting transmission signals which contain a sequence of at least approximately identical individual signals.
- the sequence of individual transmission signals is repeated cyclically.
- the frequency position of which - possibly apart from a varying and at least approximately mean-free component - is changed at least approximately linearly and the slope of the linear change in frequency position across the individual transmission signals is varied at least sometimes or partially from sequence to sequence, in particular by increase radial range and/or relative velocity measurement accuracy and/or be more robust to interference with other radar systems.
- the sequence of the individual signals can be used to change their frequency position (which is characterized in particular by their center frequency) and their time interval (if necessary apart from a varying and at least approximately mean-free component) at least approximately linearly.
- the amount of the relative change in the time interval is at least approximately twice as large as the relative change in the frequency position, with the signs of these changes being opposite.
- a random or pseudo-random component can expediently be superimposed on the frequency position, the time interval and/or the phase position of the individual signals.
- the frequency of the individual signals is preferably linearly modulated and the slope of the frequency modulation is at least approximately the same for all individual signals, with the individual transmission signals being frequency ramps.
- a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation can then be carried out via the respective IK received values, possibly not completely and preferably with the aid of one-dimensional fast Fourier transformations.
- the linear changes in the frequency position and the time interval between the individual frequency ramps can result in the received signals from transmission signals reflected by objects after the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation also leading to sharp power peaks when the objects are moving towards or away from the radar system , i.e. have a relative radial motion component.
- the linear change in the frequency position of the frequency ramps can be taken into account in an advantageous manner by linearly measuring the position of its power peaks after the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation in the Doppler gate dimension I by one of the distance gate dimension j for the determination of the radial relative speed of an object dependent portion is corrected.
- the linearity factor results from the quotient of the change in the frequency position across the frequency ramps and the change in the frequency within the reception period during the individual frequency ramps.
- the position of the power peak is preferably determined by interpolation, which generally results in non-integer values for the range gate dimension j and/or the Doppler gate dimension I.
- the correction can then be implemented by multiplying with a complex pointer of length 1 and corresponding phase.
- the sequence of K individual transmission signals can be repeated cyclically, with the slope of the linear change in frequency position across the individual transmission signals being varied from sequence to sequence at least sometimes (ie at least in one sequence or one of the sequences), in particular by the radial distance and / or to increase relative speed measurement accuracy and / or to be more robust with regard to interference with other radar systems.
- the individual transmission signals preferably represent frequency ramps, with two cycles having an inverse slope, i. H. slope differing by a factor of -1, can be used for an accurate radial distance and/or relative velocity measurement of an object.
- a factor of -1 a factor of -1
- the sequence of K individual transmission signals can expediently be repeated cyclically, with the mean time interval from sequence to sequence being at least sometimes, i. H. at least in one sequence, is varied, in particular in order to resolve ambiguities in the determination of the radial relative speed and/or to be more robust with regard to interference with other radar systems.
- a plurality of reception channels can preferably be realized by a plurality of transmitting and/or receiving antennas.
- digital beam shaping over receive channels or for generating receive channels can also be provided.
- the present invention also claims a radar system for detecting the surroundings, comprising transmission means for emitting transmission signals which contain a sequence of at least approximately identical individual signals.
- the radar system is characterized in that the radar system uses a method according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows the exemplary embodiment of a radar system.
- Fig. 3 shows the absolute value spectrum after the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation for three objects and the frequency curve according to Fig. 2.
- FIG. 5 shows the absolute value spectrum after the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation for the three objects and the frequency curve according to FIG. 4, the distance between the frequency ramps being constant.
- Figure 7 shows the magnitude spectrum for the case where frequency ramp spacing is chosen in accordance with this invention.
- the exemplary embodiment of a radar system which is shown roughly in FIG. 1, is considered.
- the 4 receiving antennas (and thus their phase, i.e.
- the transmission signals radiated on the transmission antenna are obtained from the high-frequency oscillator 1.2 in the 76-77 GHz range, which is controlled via a control Voltage vêt can be changed in frequency.
- the control voltage is generated in the control means 1.7, these control means z. B. contain a phase-locked loop or a digital-to-analog converter, which are controlled so that the frequency response of the oscillator corresponds to the desired frequency modulation.
- the signals received from the four receiving antennas are mixed down in parallel in the real-value mixers 1.3, likewise with the signal from the oscillator 1.2, into the low-frequency range.
- the received signals then pass through the bandpass filter 1.4 with the transfer function shown, the amplifier 1.5 and the analog/digital converter 1.6. They are then further processed in the digital signal processing unit 1.8.
- DFT two-dimensional Fourier transformation
- FFT Fast Fourier Transform
- V3 60.4m/s]; receiver noise is superimposed on the signals of the objects, which is clearly below the power peaks of the objects marked with the object numbers in the spectrum.
- the background is that on the one hand the samples are real-valued, so that their spectrum is symmetrical, ie no additional information is contained in the upper half of the DFT, and on the other hand the upper transition range of the analog bandpass filter 1.4 according to FIG. 1 has a frequency bandwidth of 1.09MHz (corresponds to the range of 56 frequency support points).
- then results for the example above according to Fig. 6.
- phase cpiF(t,k) of the received signal at the output of a mixer results for a single punctiform object from the phase difference between the current oscillator signal and the signal reflected back from the object, which is delayed by the transit time
- cpiF(t,k) ( ⁇ pTx(t,k) - (pTx(t-At,k))-Sch , (6)
- /Tch-2r c (k)/c + s C hF c (k)-2v/ c ; (12) the first part depicts the distance-dependent effect of the linear frequency modulation, the second part represents the Doppler effect, i.e. the frequency shift due to the relative movement, which is generally significantly smaller here than the distance-dependent part. Averaged over all frequency ramps, the intermediate frequency fiF with the mean distance r (see ref. (8)) and the mean center frequency Fcc (see ref. (4)) results in: fiF
- the second component for a relative speed v 0 is not linear, since the respective linear terms T c (k) and F c (k) appear in a product. Due to this non-linear behavior of cpiF(k), there is no sharp power peak in the resulting Doppler gate dimension I after the second one-dimensional DFT over the frequency ramp dimension k; the power peak blurs the more the higher the non-linear component originating from Tc(k)-F c (k)-s C h-2v/c and thus the higher the relative speed (as can also be seen in the example according to Fig. 5) .
- the denominator of the notation (17) is of the form (1 +x) with
- «1 , so that the series expansion 1 /(1 +x) 1 -x+x 2 -+... e.g. B. up to the second-order term can be used as a very good approximation:
- Tc(k) (k-(K-1 )/2) TDC (1 - (k-(K-1 )/2)/K-Bs/Fcc) + (k-(K-1 )/2) /K- Bs/Fcc) 2 ) (18)
- T D (k) TDC (1 - 2((kK/2)/KB s /Fcc) + 3((kK/2)/K- Bs/Fcc) 2 ) ; (19) since the third part contains the very small Bs/Fcc ratio in quadratic form and is therefore normally much smaller than the second part, which is linear in Bs/Fcc, it can then also be left out:
- T D (k) TDC (1 - 2(kK/2)/K- BS/FCC) (20)
- the time interval between the frequency ramps thus changes at least approximately in a linear manner over the frequency ramps k.
- T D (k)-TDc)/T D c -2(kK/2)/K- Bs/Fcc (21 )
- the relative change in the frequency position is about 0.78% over the entire sequence of K frequency ramps, the relative change in their time interval is -1.56%. It should also be mentioned that if the ramp spacing is designed according to WO 2018/086783 A1, the relative changes in the time spacing and frequency position of the frequency ramps would be inversely and equal in terms of amount, i.e. they would not differ by a factor of 2 in terms of amount.
- Ts K TDC ; (24) It should be emphasized once again that this - as required and realized by an appropriate choice of T c (k) - represents a phase curve that is linear over k.
- the effect of the range in the Doppler gate dimension is Bs/
- the range gate j and the Doppler gate I of an object is generally non-integer and can be determined by interpolation from the shape of the power peak in the two-dimensional DFT, which only provides values at integer gates.
- One approach to solving the ambiguity is that, analogously to the approach proposed in DE 102009 016 480 A1, the average frequency ramp distance TDC is varied from radar cycle to radar cycle, i. H. in the sequence of K frequency ramps transmitted in the current radar cycle, a different value for TDC is used than in the previous sequence. The then modified DLS in eq.
- the effect of the linearly changing frequency position of the frequency ramps (identified by Bs ⁇ O) is taken into account by taking from the Doppler gate I of the resulting power peak the proportion proportional to its distance gate j-Bs/Bch subtracted; in addition, a Bs ⁇ O has a slight effect on the Doppler gate width DL according to ref. (31).
- the exact position of the power peak is obtained by interpolation; due in particular to the signal windowing used in the DFT, a power peak not only has a level at one port, but also at at least one neighboring port, so that the shape of the power peak z.
- a power peak not only has a level at one port, but also at at least one neighboring port, so that the shape of the power peak z.
- this interpolation is not arbitrarily precise; e.g. Interpolation errors can occur, e.g. due to superimposed noise (especially if the signal-to-noise ratio is poor) or due to extended, ie not punctiform, objects.
- vm Sch-Di_s+-(l+ + l-)/2 / (1 - D Ls+ -t + -/(2
- )) (32) r m
- Accurate distance measurement is particularly important at close range, e.g. B. for functions to avoid a collision with an obstacle on the side of the vehicle (e.g. crash barrier) or another vehicle.
- the sign of the modulation bandwidth Bs was changed over two radar cycles while the magnitude was kept constant. In principle, however, it is sufficient to change the value of Bs and/or the slope of the linear change in frequency position over two radar cycles in order to be able to eliminate the influence of the range gate.
- a weighting factor then occurs in the required sum and difference of the Doppler gates, i. H. the resulting Doppler gate values over the two cycles are not equally weighted.
- parameters of the modulation are preferably varied, in particular analogously to the approaches mentioned in the documents WO 2008/040341 A1, DE 102009 016 480 A1 and EP 2 629 113 B1, e.g. e.g.:
- phase position of the individual transmission signals by an additional phase modulator in the transmission means the phase position being varied randomly or pseudo-randomly via the frequency ramps, which is preferably to be compensated again on the receiving side in the digital signal processing means.
- one preferably uses not only several receiving antennas but also several transmitting antennas and evaluates the signals of all combinations of transmitting and receiving antennas in order to realize many virtual receiving channels. If all or some of the transmitting and/or receiving antennas are not operated simultaneously, then a plurality of preferably identical sequences of frequency ramps of the type described above are nested in one another.
- the method presented here as an example performs a distance measurement with high accuracy and separation capability
- Use of a high modulation bandwidth allows, on the one hand, without the measurement and detection quality being reduced in the case of relatively moving objects and, on the other hand, without requiring high computing power in the digital signal processing means (the latter is the case with conventional methods with a high modulation bandwidth).
- the fact that only moderate computing power is required is due to the fact that the discrete Fourier transformation can be used for the calculation in its fast implementation as an FFT, and that the dimension of the multidimensional FFT is smaller than in conventional methods with high distance resolution and measurement accuracy, since the distance measurement is partially shifted into the dimension in which the relative speed is also measured.
- a good range separation capability is also important because the angle separation capability of radar systems is comparatively poor due to the generally large beam width (due to the limited size), which e.g. B. can lead to the fact that reflections from the right and left guardrail cannot be separated and merge in such a way that the measured angle is on the own lane and a stationary obstacle (e.g. stationary vehicle) is therefore incorrectly assumed.
