Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure correct distance and range profile by measuring the Doppler frequency of a moving target in a speed measuring mode to obtain a phase to it, and correcting an input signal in a distance measuring mode with this phase. SOLUTION: A speed measuring mode is set by a mode control part 12. A frequency signal is outputted from an oscillating part 6 by a frequency setting signal from a timing generating part 9, and a transmit signal amplified at a transmitting part 5 is transmitted to a target 2 from an antenna part 3 via a transmit-receive switching part 4. Reflected wave passes via the antenna part 3 and the transmit-receive switching part and reaches a speed system receiving part 13 where a video signal is generated. Dopper frequency is obtained in a Doppler computing part 14 via an analog-to-digital converting part 8, and a phase is obtained in a phase computing part 15. A distance measuring mode is set by the mode control part 12, and a video signal is generated in a distance system receiving part 13 in the same way. The video signal passes via the analog-to-digital converter, and input signals different every transmit pulse are subjected to reverse frequency analysis at a band synthesizing part 10 to generate a range profile which is displayed by a display part 11.

A transmission frequency setting signal is output from the timing generation section 9 to the oscillation section 6, and the transmission signal obtained by amplifying the transmission frequency signal from the oscillation section 6 by the transmission section 5 is transmitted from the antenna section 3 to the target via the transmission / reception switching section 4. To send. The reflected wave from the target 2 is received by the antenna unit 3 and passed through the transmission / reception switching unit 4 to the speed system receiving unit 1
3 generates a video signal subjected to frequency conversion, amplification, and phase detection. The video signal is converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 8 and the target 2
Is calculated, and the phase calculator 15 calculates the phase from the Doppler frequency. After measuring the Doppler frequency of the target 2, the mode control unit 12 switches the mode to the distance measurement mode. The distance receiving unit operates in the distance measurement mode. A transmission frequency setting signal for switching the transmission frequency for each transmission pulse is output from the timing generation section 9 to the oscillation section 6, and the transmission signal amplified by the transmission section 5 from the transmission frequency signal from the oscillation section 6 passes through the transmission / reception switching section 4. , Antenna part 3
To send to the goal. The reflected wave from the target 2 is received by the antenna unit 3, passed through the transmission / reception switching unit 4, and generated by the distance system receiving unit 7 by frequency conversion, amplification, and phase detection. The video signal is converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 8, and a received signal corresponding to a different transmission frequency for each transmission pulse is subjected to inverse frequency analysis by the band synthesizer 10 to generate and display a range profile. . At this time, the phase based on the Doppler frequency of the target 2 measured in advance in the speed measurement mode is compared with the band synthesis unit 1.
Before the inverse frequency analysis at 0, the digital phase corrector 17 adds the received signal corresponding to each transmission frequency to the correction data of the received signal corresponding to the Doppler frequency held in the digital phase corrector 17 in advance. to correct. Therefore, the Doppler frequency of the moving target is set to A /
By correcting the received signal after the D conversion, the distance to the target and the range profile thereof can be displayed at an accurate distance.
