Description

Coherent calibration source system for linear frequency modulation continuous wave radar
Technical Field
The invention relates to a calibration source system of a phase-coherent system of a linear frequency modulation continuous wave (LFM-CW) radar.
Background
Linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFM-CW) radar is a technique for obtaining range information in a radar by frequency modulating a continuous wave signal. The frequency modulation used in radar is various, and the waveforms of the transmitted signals of radars with different systems, radars with different purposes and radars with different performance requirements are different. The LFM-CW radar adopts a continuous wave system, determines the distance to a target by changing the frequency of a transmitted signal in time and measuring the frequency difference of an echo signal relative to the transmitted signal, and can also measure the radial velocity of the target by using the doppler effect. Compared with other system radars, the linear frequency modulation continuous wave radar has good maneuverability and can adapt to complex and severe environments; the receiver has high sensitivity; the required emission peak power is lower, the modulation is easy, the circuit is simple, the size is small, the weight is light, the cost is low, the signal processing is simple, and the like. With the increasing importance of radar function, the function and performance of radar are improved, so that the complexity of a radar system is increased, and the test difficulty of the radar is increased. The development and the perfection of the radar test technology generate massive radar test data, and a method for storing, accurately analyzing and efficiently managing the data in real time provides huge challenges and provides higher requirements for accurate and comprehensive system function and performance tests of each stage in the whole life cycle of the radar.
The test of the linear frequency modulation continuous wave calibration source system of the coherent system is divided into built-in test and off-line test. The built-in test is to utilize the technology of the built-in self-test of the radar, provide the BIT information by the radar itself, mainly used for checking, testing and recording the performance of the radar system when the radar works, and monitor the fault condition of each stage when the radar runs, so that a user can really master the working condition of the radar system. The off-line test is to test the radar by using an Automatic Test System (ATS) and perform fault reasoning on the test result. The testing capability of the BIT requires that the BIT device has the capability of sending excitation, response recovery and intelligent analysis, which requires a large amount of software and hardware to be added to the whole system and each subsystem or even individual components, which means the reduction of the reliability of the system, makes the system more complex and more difficult to use and maintain, and the BIT is established to realize the testing capability on the premise that the BIT device has no fault, and once the BIT device has the fault, a false alarm, and incapability of detection and diagnosis are caused. And an external ATS test is required for the fault points which cannot be detected by BIT.
The content and the range of the radar test of the linear frequency modulation continuous wave calibration source system of the prior coherent system have universality. The test can be carried out at different levels from a component/chip level, a circuit board level to a functional unit level, a subsystem level, a system level and the like; the method can test different aspects such as radar emission signal parameters, radar receiver performance parameters, radar system performance and the like; the performance indexes required by a special radar system, such as the sensitivity of a radar receiver, the angular tracking characteristic, the Doppler frequency coverage range of the receiver, the measurement accuracy of the measurement radar on a high-speed target and other technical parameters can be tested. There are two main methods of radar testing: firstly, a large number of universal instruments and meters are used to be matched with a special test tool to test partial parameters (mainly static parameters) of the radar; and secondly, dynamically detecting the flying, namely releasing the balloon, and carrying out radar cross-sectional area (RCS) calibration and remote control of the drone by hanging the metal standard ball by the unmanned aerial vehicle to test the actual detection performance of the radar. In the past, a radar calibration source is generally an optical fiber delay type fixed single-target calibration signal source, RCS measurement adopts a balloon or kite hanging and placing mode, but the calibration success rate is not high due to the influence of weather.
The method 1 focuses on the test of the static performance of a system in a single device and a device, and cannot comprehensively reflect the overall dynamic performance of the system. Instruments and meters used for testing are various, precise and expensive, cannot be deployed in all units simultaneously according to the number of the radars, and are inconvenient to detect the radars at any time, so that the testing method is greatly limited. In addition, the method needs to rely on instruments to generate numerous and complicated input excitation signals, a very large scale integrated circuit is mostly adopted in the radar digital plug-in, FPGA input pins are mostly bidirectional, most signals are only interconnected in a printed board, the excitation signals provided by the instruments cannot meet the requirement in quantity, and the complexity cannot meet the testing requirement. Due to various reasons, the actual measurement indexes of part of subsystems can not meet the design index requirements or the performance of part of subsystems is reduced due to aging, the situation can bring great influence on the actual test work, whether the influence is within an acceptable range or not can not give a quick and intuitive conclusion. Often, the analysis and judgment are carried out by depending on the actual experience of technicians and simple theoretical calculation, and an objective and scientific means is lacked to make accurate definition and actual inspection.
Although the 2 nd method can test the key performance of the radar, such as detection power, detection precision and the like, the dynamic flight detection and the actual work have larger difference, the performance of the equipment is not comprehensively detected, and the states of different types of targets detected by the radar cannot be simulated. In addition, dynamic flight inspection is limited by manpower, material resources, airspace and the like, so that the cost is high, a large number of flight inspection shelves are often needed for obtaining accurate data, and the flight inspection cannot be frequently performed in actual operation or organized at any time according to needs.
One of the major problems in measuring the characteristics of an outfield radar target is how to calibrate with high accuracy, i.e. to establish a strict mathematical relationship between RCS and the power or voltage measured by the radar. The common calibration method is divided into a relative calibration method and an absolute calibration method, the relative calibration method calculates the RCS value of a target by the power (or voltage) ratio measured by a standard target which is known and isotropic to the RCS and a target to be measured, and the RCS value of a calibration body is accurately measured. The absolute calibration method is to directly calibrate the measured radar parameters and then calculate the RCS value of the target according to a radar equation. In actual use, the relative calibration method is represented by a calibration ball calibration method, and the absolute calibration method is represented by a signal source calibration method. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. The calibration method of the calibration ball only needs to prepare a hydrogen (helium) ball and release the calibration ball into the air by using a winch, the equipment is simple and easy to operate, but the calibration method of the calibration ball is greatly restricted by meteorological conditions. And the signal source calibration method is adopted, so that the equipment is relatively complex and the technical requirement is high. Compared with a calibration ball calibration method, the error caused by the alignment precision of the radar antenna and the signal source antenna in the signal source calibration method is small. The target characteristic measuring radar is mostly under broadband and multi-polarization conditions, and can greatly influence the accuracy of RCS measuring results.
At present, means for external field debugging and testing of Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) continuous wave- (CW) -High Frequency (HF) radar is lacked. The prior art discloses a radar performance test system of a quasi-coherent system, which is a full digital simulation system based on a digital quadrature modulation technology (DQM) and a direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) technology, and mainly completes the performance test of an LFM-CW-HF radar by simulating a target signal and an interference signal of the LFM-CW-HF radar, but the LFM-CW-HF radar of the quasi-coherent system adopts the digital quadrature modulation technology and the direct digital frequency synthesis technology to occupy a large amount of instrument resources.
At present, there are two basic methods of generating chirp signals, an analog method and a digital method. The conventional simulation methods are further classified into an active method and a passive method. The active method is to generate a chirp signal using a linear sawtooth Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), which is also called a direct synthesis method. To achieve good linearity using this method, VC0 and the sawtooth waveform generator must be optimally designed. The direct synthesis method simulates and generates a chirp signal, and although the method is a simpler method for generating an FMCW signal, the method has the outstanding problems that the phases of a carrier wave of the generated chirp signal and a reference signal are not coherent, the coherence, the long stability and the short stability of the signal cannot be ensured to be not ideal, the frequency can generate drift along with the change of temperature, the phase noise index is not high, and the like. These disadvantages determine that the chirped continuous wave signal generated by the direct VCO method is strictly coherent during the period of the required signal, and the use of the LFMCW radar is limited, which ensures low phase noise and high frequency stability, and for the oscillator, the long-term stability and the short-term stability are poor, and the oscillation frequency generated when the temperature changes may drift, and the phase noise performance is also poor. A common way of passive method is to use a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) device to perform spectral broadening and compression of waveform signals. The method is mainly used in pulse system radars to realize compression processing of the pulse frequency modulation signals. The frequency-modulated continuous wave signal is generated in the mode, and an all-pass or band-pass network with a linear group delay characteristic is mainly designed. The linear frequency modulation signal generated by the method is limited by the level of the device, the performance of the large time-bandwidth product cannot be realized, and the application range of the linear frequency modulation signal is limited. It is seen that it is difficult to achieve the desired performance level of the signal using simulation. The digital method is a new developed method, and is divided into two methods, namely a waveform storage direct reading method and a direct digital synthesis frequency (DDS) method. The waveform storage direct reading method is a method of storing sampling values of an LFM signal in a memory under specific sampling frequency f, a signal E and a signal time width Z, and directly generating an analog signal after performing digital-to-analog conversion and low-pass filtering on a read waveform under a clock; direct digital frequency synthesis is a method of generating an analog signal by phase accumulation, amplitude look-up table, and digital-to-analog conversion. The waveform storage direct reading method has the advantages of simple principle and low cost, but has the defect of relatively complex structure; the direct digital frequency synthesis method has the advantages of high integration level, good flexibility, simple circuit structure and the like, but has the disadvantages of higher cost, weaker amplitude and phase compensation capability and the like. Compared with the traditional frequency synthesis technology, the DDS technology has higher frequency resolution, continuous phase change and higher frequency switching rate than the common method, and can modulate an output signal, thereby meeting the requirements of modern radar signals. This method is also currently used to generate some radar signals. It mainly utilizes one or more different reference frequency sources to produce output signals of several discrete frequencies by means of harmonic generator, and directly produces output signals of several discrete frequencies by means of frequency multiplication, frequency division, frequency mixing, filtering and analog switch; the signal obtained by the method has the advantages of higher frequency stability, lower phase noise and higher frequency conversion speed; meanwhile, the device also has a plurality of inevitable defects, such as more complex structure and higher debugging difficulty compared with the similar signal generator, and also has poor stray rejection performance.
