Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for estimating an LFM signal parameter of an active sonar system for estimating a parameter of a linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal.
Active sonar is a technique that generates a transmission signal and processes the signal reflected on the target to detect the spread. In general, active sonar has higher detection performance than passive sonar and is known to be superior in terms of parameter estimation. Therefore, active sonar research is relatively active.
In active sonar, various types of active pulses can be used depending on the purpose. The most widely used pulses are continuous wave (CW) pulses and frequency modulation (FM) series pulses.
The linear frequency modulation (LFM) pulses are the most widely used active pulses of the FM series. However, as the frequency band used is wider, not only the frequency shift due to the Doppler effect but also the slope mismatch phenomenon occurs. There is a disadvantage in that detection performance deteriorates due to occurrence of correlation loss. So far, a method of parameter estimation of LFM signal using various time - frequency conversion techniques has been actively studied. Radon-Ambiguity transform, Wigner-Hough transform, Hough transform through short-time Fourier analysis, and Hilbert-Huang Hough transform have been studied.
However, since various detection techniques using actual sonar and radar are affected by various factors such as the environment and target attitude angle, there are many differences and distortions in the acoustic signals received from the same target. Especially, the technique related to LFM parameter estimation in underwater environment shows complicated characteristics reflecting underwater multi - path environment in which the underwater acoustic signal changes in time and spatially characteristics, which makes it difficult to estimate the actual parameters.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for estimating an LFM signal parameter of an active sonar system capable of estimating a parameter of a linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal used as a transmission signal for target detection in active sonar.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for estimating an LFM signal parameter of an active sonar system, including: an LFM input unit for inputting an LFM signal spread from a target through a sensor; A partial Fourier transform unit for performing partial Fourier transform on the input LFM signal using an optimal change order; A time-frequency analysis unit for extracting a time-frequency parameter in the partial Fourier transformed spectral region; And an LFM parameter estimator for estimating a parameter of the LFM signal using the extracted time-frequency parameter.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of estimating an LFM signal parameter of an active sonar system, comprising: inputting an LFM signal generated from a target through a sensor; Performing partial Fourier transform on the input LFM signal using an optimal change order; Extracting a time-frequency parameter in the partial Fourier transformed spectral region; And estimating a parameter of the LFM signal using the extracted time-frequency parameter.
The present invention extracts a time-frequency parameter in a partial Fourier transform domain using a partial Fourier transform, which has a great advantage in analyzing a signal whose frequency changes with time, such as an LFM signal, and uses it to calculate a center frequency, a bandwidth , The pulse width, the start time, and the start frequency of the LFM signal.

Acoustic signals emitted into the water in an active sonar transmitter are echoed by some target to the receiver, where detection of the echoed target signal component from the received signal is the primary target of target detection. In order to detect such a target signal component it is necessary to detect the parameters of the received linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal.
The present invention analyzes a LFM signal used as a transmission pulse in an active sonar using a partial Fourier transform, and proposes a parameter estimation method of an LFM signal based on the analysis.

The parameter of the LFM signal includes a center frequency, a bandwidth, a pulse duration, a start time, and a start frequency of the LFM signal.
Hereinafter, a method of estimating a parameter of an LFM signal using a partial Fourier transform according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In general, the LFM call is expressed by the following equation (1).
[Equation 1]
At this time,
(T) is the instantaneous frequency of s (t) [Hz] can be obtained. In other words, Is the start frequency of the LFM signal, and 2a is the chirp rate (ringing rate). These LFM signals have characteristics in which the instantaneous frequency varies linearly with time, and are used as transmission pulses for detection of targets in radar and active sonar systems.First, the partial Fourier transform unit 200 performs a partial Fourier transform on the input LFM signal using an optimal change order.

In Fig. 2, the LFM signal with the chirp rate of 2a is
Point on axis In order to have the maximum value in the direction perpendicular to the chirp rate largesse You have to find the value, The optimal transform order . The optimal conversion order of the LFM signal having the chirp rate of 2 & ) Has a sampling frequency of , And the total length of the analysis frame is N discrete regions, as shown in Equation (2).&Quot; (2) "

3 is a graph showing the relationship between the partial Fourier transform domain and the time-frequency domain in the negative frequency domain.
As shown in FIG. 3, the LFM signal starting at t = 0
Assume that there is an LFM signal with a time delay as long as. In this case, since both LFM signals have the same chirp rate, (Peak spectrum) at the maximum value, The maximum value is obtained at different positions in the partial Fourier transform domain due to the time delay of the time domain, The instantaneous frequency at As shown in FIG.The position where the peak spectrum appears by each LFM signal component in the partial Fourier transform domain is
, The distance between the positions where the peak spectrum appears is . Therefore, the distance from the two peak spectra in the partial Fourier transform domain ) Is the time delay ( ), Instantaneous frequency difference ( ) And the following equations (3) and (4), respectively.&Quot; (3) "
&Quot; (4) "
Hence, using Equations (3) and (4), the difference between the frequency axis and the time axis through the distance between each peak spectrum in the partial Fourier transform domain
, ), Which can be easily obtained by interpreting the time delay and the instantaneous frequency difference of the superimposed LFM signal components in the partial Fourier transform domain.4 is a graph showing the relationship between the LFM signal and the partial Fourier transform domain in the positive frequency domain.
Referring to FIG. 4, the bandwidth and pulse width of the LFM signal are
when, - a partial Fourier transform domain of order On axis from Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > bandwidth. ≪ / RTI > and To the equations (3) and (4) using the distance and , The relationship between the instantaneous frequency difference and the time delay of the two straight lines extending along the direction perpendicular to the r axis is obtained. In other words, , The length of the inter- , And on the time axis Respectively. It is easy to see that this is equivalent to twice the actual bandwidth and pulse width, respectively, by the theorem of isosceles triangles.As a result, the LEM parameter estimation unit 400
- the starting point of the spectrum of bandwidth appearing in the partial Fourier transform spectrum of the order And endpoint The pulse width of the LFM signal And bandwidth , Which can be summarized in Equations 5 and 6.&Quot; (5) "
&Quot; (6) "
5 is a graph for estimating the starting point of the LFM signal.
Figures 4 and 5 consider the rotation origin N / 2 in the analysis frame of length N. [ In the analysis frame, the starting point (time) of the LFM signal is
And the instantaneous (start) frequency at that time is When you say, - Partial Fourier transform spectra of order In the peak spectrum, From A spectrum of bandwidth type appears.first
To estimate Wow Centered Looking for, And the rotation origin (N / 2) are substituted into the equation (3) And the rotation origin , And finally, through Equation (7) Can be estimated.&Quot; (7) "
Likewise
