Description

車用雷達系統及其設計方法Vehicle radar system and its design method

本發明是關於一種雷達系統,特別是指一種可產生雙波束信號的車用雷達系統。 The invention relates to a radar system, in particular to a vehicle radar system capable of generating dual beam signals.

隨著汽車安全防護觀念的提高,甚至近年來多家廠商投入開發的無人駕駛車輛,更需要全面性的感測機制,因此車用雷達的需求有增無減。在比較直觀的應用部分,車用雷達可適用於撞擊預警機制、自動緊急煞車系統,利用雷達系統發出的無線信號波配合其它感測器(如影像感測器),融合判斷車輛與其周圍車輛的相對情況,或是車輛在行進方向上的交通狀況,一旦判斷需作出緊急應變時,可以提醒駕駛者減速注意,或自動強制介入車輛的控制運行。 With the improvement of the concept of automobile safety protection, even the unmanned vehicles that many manufacturers have invested in development in recent years require a comprehensive sensing mechanism, so the demand for automotive radars is increasing. In the more intuitive application part, the vehicle radar can be applied to the collision warning mechanism and the automatic emergency braking system. The wireless signal wave emitted by the radar system is used in conjunction with other sensors (such as image sensors) to determine the relationship between the vehicle and its surrounding vehicles. In relation to the relative situation, or the traffic condition of the vehicle in the direction of travel, once it is judged that an emergency response is needed, the driver can be reminded to slow down or be automatically forced to intervene in the control operation of the vehicle.

藉助車用雷達的掃描偵測功能,能有效彌補人為判斷的可能疏忽,提高行車安全,故車用雷達之掃描能力極為重要。現有之車用雷達系統主要是產生單一方向的輻射場型,也就是只能沿著單一方向偵測有無物體,如果要同時偵測車輛之前、後、左、右四個方位,往往需要配置多組車用雷達才能覆蓋所要求之偵測範圍,導致成本增加、提高配置複雜度、資料運算量增多等問題,因此,車用雷達系統之偵測能力確實有待改善。 With the scanning and detection function of the vehicle radar, it can effectively compensate for the possible negligence of human judgment and improve driving safety. Therefore, the scanning ability of the vehicle radar is extremely important. The existing vehicle radar system mainly produces a single-direction radiation pattern, that is, it can only detect the presence of objects in a single direction. If you want to detect the front, rear, left, and right directions of the vehicle at the same time, it often requires multiple configurations. The vehicle-mounted radar can cover the required detection range, leading to problems such as increased costs, increased configuration complexity, and increased data calculations. Therefore, the detection capability of the vehicle-mounted radar system does need to be improved.

有鑑於現有雷達系統只能朝著單一方向進行物件偵測,本發明的主要目的是提供一種以單一天線系統即可產生雙波束的車用雷達系統,擴大有效掃描範圍。 In view of the fact that the existing radar system can only detect objects in a single direction, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle radar system that can generate dual beams with a single antenna system to expand the effective scanning range.

本發明之車用雷達系統,包含有: 一第一天線陣列,係包含有至少一天線;一第二天線陣列,係與該第一天線陣列對稱排列,該第二天線陣列係包含有至少一天線,且該第二天線陣列中的天線平行於第一天線陣列中的天線;一饋入點,係通過傳輸線連接至該第一天線陣列及第二天線陣列中的各個天線,各天線上所傳輸信號的波長為λ;相鄰兩個天線之間維持一直線間距L,該直線間距大於該無線信號二分之一的波長λ,且兩相鄰天線之間的傳輸信號的相位差△ψ滿足下式,使該第一天線陣列及第二天線陣列產生兩信號波束:

Figure 108117217-A0305-02-0003-1
The vehicle radar system of the present invention includes: a first antenna array including at least one antenna; a second antenna array symmetrically arranged with the first antenna array, and the second antenna array At least one antenna is included, and the antenna in the second antenna array is parallel to the antenna in the first antenna array; a feed point is connected to the first antenna array and the second antenna array through a transmission line For each antenna, the wavelength of the signal transmitted on each antenna is λ; a straight line spacing L is maintained between two adjacent antennas, which is greater than half the wavelength λ of the wireless signal, and the distance between two adjacent antennas The phase difference Δψ of the transmission signal satisfies the following formula, so that the first antenna array and the second antenna array generate two signal beams:
Figure 108117217-A0305-02-0003-1

本發明只需控制該第一天線及第二天線之相對距離L大於二分之一,並且令該第一天線及第二天線上之無線信號的相位差滿足預設條件,雷達系統便可以產生不同方向的雙波束信號,應用於車輛時,能兼具感測車輛後方區域及側向區域,提高車用雷達之偵測範圍。 The present invention only needs to control the relative distance L between the first antenna and the second antenna to be greater than one-half, and make the phase difference of the wireless signal on the first antenna and the second antenna meet the preset condition, the radar system It can generate dual-beam signals in different directions. When applied to a vehicle, it can sense both the rear area and the side area of the vehicle, thereby increasing the detection range of the vehicle radar.

請參考圖1所示,為本發明雷達系統的架構示意圖,該雷達系統100可作為信號發射或信號接收系統,包含有設在一基板上且沿著一中線軸對稱排列的一第一天線陣列及一第二天線陣列,每一個天線陣列中至少包含一天線,在本實例中,第一天線陣列包含一第一天線10及一第二天線20,第二天線陣列包含一第三天線30及一第四天線40。該第一天線10、第二天線20、第三天線30與第四天線40為平行設置,且相鄰兩天線之間的直線相對距離L為等長且大於傳輸信號波長(λ)的二分之一,即L>1/2 λ,例如第一天線10與第二天線20之間的直線相對距離L大於傳輸信號波長(λ)的二分之一,第二天線20與第三天線30之間的直線相對距離L也是大於傳輸信號波長(λ)的二分之一,使雷達系統可以產生如圖3所示的雙信號波束,其中一信號波束的指向角度約為30度角,另一信號波束的指向角度約為-60度角。 Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the radar system of the present invention. The radar system 100 can be used as a signal transmitting or signal receiving system, and includes a first antenna arranged on a substrate and arranged symmetrically along a central axis. Array and a second antenna array, each antenna array includes at least one antenna. In this example, the first antenna array includes a first antenna 10 and a second antenna 20, and the second antenna array includes A third antenna 30 and a fourth antenna 40. The first antenna 10, the second antenna 20, the third antenna 30, and the fourth antenna 40 are arranged in parallel, and the linear relative distance L between two adjacent antennas is equal in length and greater than the transmission signal wavelength (λ) One-half, that is, L>1/2 λ, for example, the linear relative distance L between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 is greater than one-half of the transmission signal wavelength (λ), the second antenna 20 The linear relative distance L between the third antenna 30 and the third antenna 30 is also greater than one-half of the transmission signal wavelength (λ), so that the radar system can generate dual signal beams as shown in Figure 3, where the pointing angle of one signal beam is about At an angle of 30 degrees, the pointing angle of the other signal beam is about -60 degrees.

在圖1的實施例中,一饋入點50設置在第一天線10至第四天線40的同一側,從該饋入點50係通過傳輸線60而連接至各天線的端部,但在其它實施例中,該饋入點50也可以設計在其它位置。該等傳輸線60的作用除了傳遞信號之後,也同時發揮延遲信號的作用,相當於是相位延遲元件,只要適當的改變傳輸線60的延伸長度、形狀、材質等條件,達到使傳輸信號在各天線10~40之間產生一相位差△ψ。 In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a feeding point 50 is arranged on the same side of the first antenna 10 to the fourth antenna 40, and the feeding point 50 is connected to the end of each antenna through a transmission line 60, but in In other embodiments, the feeding point 50 can also be designed in other positions. The functions of these transmission lines 60 not only transmit signals, but also delay signals, which are equivalent to phase delay elements. As long as the extension length, shape, and material of the transmission line 60 are appropriately changed, the transmission signal can be transmitted to each antenna 10~ There is a phase difference Δψ between 40.

請參考圖2A~2C所示,以下利用4個偶極天線(Dipole antenna)模擬該第一天線10至第四天線40。假設傳輸信號的頻率(操作頻率)為3GHz,則波長為λ=100mm,相鄰兩個天線10~40之間的距離L定為0.9倍的波長λ(L=0.9 λ=90mm),當改變相鄰天線10~40之間的相位差(ψ),即可改變波束的角度(θ),相位差與角度之間的關係式如下:

Figure 108117217-A0305-02-0004-2
Please refer to FIGS. 2A to 2C. The first antenna 10 to the fourth antenna 40 are simulated by using 4 dipole antennas in the following. Assuming that the frequency of the transmission signal (operating frequency) is 3GHz, the wavelength is λ=100mm, and the distance L between two adjacent antennas 10-40 is set to 0.9 times the wavelength λ (L=0.9 λ=90mm). The phase difference (ψ) between adjacent antennas 10-40 can change the beam angle ( θ ). The relationship between the phase difference and the angle is as follows:
Figure 108117217-A0305-02-0004-2

以圖2A的波束為例,為了產生15度角的波束(θ=15度),根據上式,可以計算出相鄰天線10~40之間所需的相位差ψ約為83.8度(0.47 π),因此,在設計天線時,以第一天線10的相位為參考點(零度),第二天線20相對於第一天線10的相位差約為83.8度,第三天線30相對於第一天線10的相位差為167.6度,第四天線40相對於第一天線10的相位差為251.4度,可產生如圖2A所示的波束,其中主波束B1的角度約為15度。 Taking the beam of Figure 2A as an example, in order to generate a 15-degree beam (θ=15 degrees), according to the above formula, the required phase difference ψ between adjacent antennas 10 to 40 can be calculated to be about 83.8 degrees (0.47 π ), therefore, when designing the antenna, taking the phase of the first antenna 10 as a reference point (zero degrees), the phase difference between the second antenna 20 and the first antenna 10 is about 83.8 degrees, and the third antenna 30 is relative to The phase difference of the first antenna 10 is 167.6 degrees, and the phase difference of the fourth antenna 40 relative to the first antenna 10 is 251.4 degrees, which can generate a beam as shown in FIG. 2A, wherein the angle of the main beam B1 is about 15 degrees. .

以圖2B的波束為例,為了產生30度角的波束(θ=30度),根據上式,可以計算出相鄰天線10~40之間所需的相位差ψ約為162度(0.9 π),因此,在設計天線時,以第一天線10的相位為參考點(零度),第二天線20相對於第一天線10的相位差約為162度,第三天線30相對於第一天線10的相位差為324度,依此類推,如此可產生如圖2B所示的波束,其中主波束B1的角度約為30度。其中,偶極天線的延伸軸向如箭號A所示,因為圖2A~2C均是將偶極天線置放在空間中進行模擬,因此可以完整看出偶極天線之完整波束;但在實際應用時,若將天線設置在一基板上,則可用的波束即為目前圖上所標示的兩波束B1、B2。 Taking the beam of Figure 2B as an example, in order to generate a 30-degree beam (θ=30 degrees), according to the above formula, the phase difference ψ required between adjacent antennas 10-40 can be calculated to be about 162 degrees (0.9 π ), therefore, when designing the antenna, taking the phase of the first antenna 10 as a reference point (zero degree), the phase difference between the second antenna 20 and the first antenna 10 is about 162 degrees, and the third antenna 30 is relative to The phase difference of the first antenna 10 is 324 degrees, and so on, so that a beam as shown in FIG. 2B can be generated, wherein the angle of the main beam B1 is about 30 degrees. Among them, the extension axis of the dipole antenna is shown by arrow A, because the dipole antenna is placed in the space for simulation in Figures 2A~2C, so the complete beam of the dipole antenna can be seen completely; In application, if the antenna is arranged on a substrate, the available beams are the two beams B1 and B2 indicated in the current figure.

以圖2C的波束為例,為了產生30度角的波束(θ=45度),根據上式,可以計算出相鄰天線10~40間所需的相位差ψ約為229.1度(1.27 π),因此,在設計天線時,以第一天線10的相位為參考點(零度),第二天線20相對於第一天線10的相位差約為229.1度,第三天線30相對於第一天線10的相位差為458.2度,依此類推,如此可產生如圖2C所示的波束,其中主波束B1的角度約為45度。 Taking the beam of Figure 2C as an example, in order to generate a 30-degree beam (θ=45 degrees), according to the above formula, the required phase difference ψ between adjacent antennas 10-40 can be calculated to be about 229.1 degrees (1.27 π) Therefore, when designing the antenna, taking the phase of the first antenna 10 as a reference point (zero degree), the phase difference between the second antenna 20 and the first antenna 10 is about 229.1 degrees, and the third antenna 30 is relative to the first antenna. The phase difference of an antenna 10 is 458.2 degrees, and so on, so that a beam as shown in FIG. 2C can be generated, wherein the angle of the main beam B1 is about 45 degrees.

上述圖2A~2C的範例證明當調整相鄰天線10~40之間的相位差ψ,即可改變波束的角度,其中,圖2B所示的角度較利於車輛周圍的偵測,也就是符合下式:

Figure 108117217-A0305-02-0006-3
The above examples in Figures 2A~2C prove that when the phase difference ψ between adjacent antennas 10~40 is adjusted, the beam angle can be changed. Among them, the angle shown in Figure 2B is more conducive to the detection around the vehicle, that is, it conforms to the following Mode:
Figure 108117217-A0305-02-0006-3

其中,主波束B1與旁波束B2的相對張角約在80~100度。 Among them, the relative opening angle of the main beam B1 and the side beam B2 is about 80-100 degrees.

再請參考圖3A~3C所示,以下利用4個平片天線(patch antenna)模擬該第一天線10至第四天線40。假設傳輸信號的頻率(操作頻率)為2.45GHz,則波長為λ=122.5mm,相鄰兩個天線10~40之間的距離L定為0.9倍的波長λ(L=0.9 λ=110mm)。 Please refer to FIGS. 3A to 3C again. Four patch antennas are used to simulate the first antenna 10 to the fourth antenna 40 below. Assuming that the frequency (operating frequency) of the transmitted signal is 2.45GHz, the wavelength is λ=122.5mm, and the distance L between two adjacent antennas 10-40 is set to 0.9 times the wavelength λ (L=0.9 λ=110mm).

以圖3A的波束為例,為了產生15度角的波束(θ=15度),相鄰天線10~40之間所需的相位差ψ約為83.8度(0.47 π),因此,在設計天線時,以第一天線10的相位為參考點(零度),第二天線20相對於第一天線10的相位差約為83.8度,第三天線30相對於第一天線10的相位差為167.6度,第四天線40相對於第一天線10的相位差為251.4度,可產生如圖3A所示的波束,其中主波束B1的角度約為15度。 Taking the beam of Figure 3A as an example, in order to generate a 15-degree beam (θ=15 degrees), the phase difference ψ required between adjacent antennas 10-40 is about 83.8 degrees (0.47 π). Therefore, when designing the antenna When taking the phase of the first antenna 10 as a reference point (zero degrees), the phase difference of the second antenna 20 relative to the first antenna 10 is about 83.8 degrees, and the phase difference of the third antenna 30 relative to the first antenna 10 The difference is 167.6 degrees, and the phase difference of the fourth antenna 40 relative to the first antenna 10 is 251.4 degrees, which can generate a beam as shown in FIG. 3A, wherein the angle of the main beam B1 is about 15 degrees.

以圖3B的波束為例,為了產生30度角的波束(θ=30度),相鄰天線10~40之間所需的相位差ψ約為162度(0.9 π),因此,在設計天線時,以第一天線10的相位為參考點(零度),第二天線20相對於第一天線10的相位差約為162度,第三天線30相對於第一天線10的相位差為324度,依此類推,如此可產生如圖3B所示的波束,其中主波束B1的角度約為30度,另一波束B2與主波束B1之間具有一張角。根據圖2B及圖3B可以理解,即使傳輸信號的頻率(操作頻率)不同,但只要控制天線10~40之間的相位差ψ,便可以產生所需的雙波束信號。 Taking the beam of Figure 3B as an example, in order to generate a 30-degree beam (θ=30 degrees), the phase difference ψ required between adjacent antennas 10-40 is about 162 degrees (0.9 π). Therefore, when designing the antenna When taking the phase of the first antenna 10 as a reference point (zero degree), the phase difference between the second antenna 20 and the first antenna 10 is about 162 degrees, and the phase difference between the third antenna 30 and the first antenna 10 is about 162 degrees. The difference is 324 degrees, and so on, so that a beam as shown in FIG. 3B can be generated, where the angle of the main beam B1 is about 30 degrees, and the other beam B2 has an angle with the main beam B1. According to FIG. 2B and FIG. 3B, it can be understood that even if the frequency of the transmission signal (operating frequency) is different, as long as the phase difference ψ between the antennas 10-40 is controlled, the desired dual-beam signal can be generated.

以圖3C的波束為例,為了產生30度角的波束(θ=45度),相鄰天線10~40間所需的相位差ψ約為229.1度(1.27 π),因此,在設計天線時,以第一天線10的相位為參考點(零度),第二天線20相對於第一天線10的相位差約為 229.1度,第三天線30相對於第一天線10的相位差為458.2度,依此類推,如此可產生如圖3C所示的波束,其中主波束B1的角度約為45度。 Taking the beam of Figure 3C as an example, in order to generate a 30-degree beam (θ=45 degrees), the phase difference ψ required between adjacent antennas 10-40 is about 229.1 degrees (1.27 π). Therefore, when designing the antenna , Taking the phase of the first antenna 10 as a reference point (zero degrees), the phase difference of the second antenna 20 relative to the first antenna 10 is about 229.1 degrees, the phase difference between the third antenna 30 and the first antenna 10 is 458.2 degrees, and so on, so that a beam as shown in FIG. 3C can be generated, wherein the angle of the main beam B1 is about 45 degrees.

根據申請人之第I616064號「利用波的到達相位及時間差解算到達方向角的高精度解析方法」發明專利可以理解,當兩個波感測器的相對距離大於二分之一的波長時,信號波將有兩個以上的方向角。將該專利的概念套用到本發明,可以得到本發明的車用雷達會存在另一信號波束B2,而本發明即利用雙信號波束B1、B2應用於車輛周圍的環境偵測。 According to the applicant’s No. I616064 "High-precision Analytical Method for Calculating the Direction of Arrival Angle Using the Wave’s Arrival Phase and Time Difference", it can be understood that when the relative distance between the two wave sensors is greater than one-half of the wavelength, The signal wave will have more than two directional angles. Applying the concept of the patent to the present invention, it can be obtained that there is another signal beam B2 in the vehicle radar of the present invention, and the present invention uses dual signal beams B1 and B2 to detect the environment around the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 5, each group of radar systems 100 detects the traffic behind and to the side of the vehicle, and can detect whether there is an object within the coverage of the dual beam signal. For example, when a vehicle is driving or changing lanes, the radar system 100 can assist in detecting whether other adjacent vehicles are approaching at the back of the vehicle or on the left and right sides. The radar system 100 of the present invention can also be installed at the front left or front right of the vehicle to detect the traffic state in front of the vehicle.
