Referring to fig. 1A to 4 of the drawings of the present specification, an on-vehicle radar anti-jamming method and an on-vehicle radar system according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention are explained in the following description. The vehicle-mounted radar is suitable for being arranged on a vehicle, and obstacles near the vehicle are detected by the vehicle-mounted radar. The vehicle-mounted radar system includes at least one vehicle-mounted radar 10, at least one rain sensor 20, and a system controller 30, wherein the vehicle-mounted radar 10 and the rain sensor 20 are mounted to the vehicle, and the rain sensor 20 is communicatively connected to the system controller 30. The rainfall sensor 20 is used to detect a rainfall value outside the vehicle and transmit the detected data result to the system controller 30, and the vehicle-mounted radar 10 is controlled by the system controller 30 based on the rainfall value. The in-vehicle radar 10 is electrically connected to the system controller 30, wherein the in-vehicle radar 10 has a rainy operation mode and a non-rainy operation mode in operation, and the operation mode of the in-vehicle radar 10 is controlled by the system controller 30 based on the detection result of the rainfall sensor 20.
When the system controller 30 starts the rainy day operation mode, the system controller 30 controls the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to detect obstacle information around the vehicle in a manner of excluding rain interference, or the detection information of the vehicle-mounted radar is corrected by the system controller 30.
In detail, the system controller 30 is provided with a rainfall disturbance threshold H0, and the system controller 30 obtains a rainfall disturbance value H corresponding to the current rainfall value based on the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20, and when the rainfall disturbance value H obtained by the system controller 30 is greater than or equal to H0, the system controller 30 controls the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to operate in the rainy day operation mode; on the contrary, when the rainfall disturbance value H obtained by the system controller 30 is less than H0, the system controller 30 controls the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to operate in the non-rainy day operation mode. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rainfall sensor 20 is provided to a wiper of the vehicle. In other words, the rainfall sensor 20 acts as a wiper sensor of the vehicle, whereby the rainfall sensor 20 detects the rainfall value of the environment in which the vehicle is currently located.
It is worth mentioning that the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20 is related to the rainfall disturbance value H of the system controller 30, i.e. the system controller 30 derives the rainfall disturbance value H corresponding to the current vehicle based on the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20. It is understood that the larger the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20, the larger the rainfall disturbance value obtained by the system controller 30.
And the vehicle-mounted radar system sets an anti-interference working mode corresponding to the current rainfall value according to different rainfall sizes of the vehicle running environment. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 sets a plurality of rainfall disturbance threshold intervals (H0, H1), (H1, H2), (H2, H3), (H3, H4) …, wherein H0 < H1 < H2 < H3 < H4. When the rainfall interference value H obtained by the system controller 30 is within the corresponding rainfall interference threshold interval, the system controller 30 controls the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to work in a specific rainy day working mode. For example, when H2 < H3, the system controller 30 starts the anti-jamming operation mode and sets a corresponding anti-jamming value for the in-vehicle radar 10, so as to eliminate the interference of the current rainfall on the operation of the in-vehicle radar 10 or to correct the detection result of the in-vehicle radar 10. In short, the system controller 30 sets a corresponding operation mode according to the currently detected rainfall value to eliminate the operation interference of the rain on the vehicle-mounted radar 10, or to correct the detection result of the vehicle-mounted radar 10.
It should be noted that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the anti-interference value set by the system controller 30 is signal compensation of the rainfall clutter corresponding to the current rainfall, that is, the system controller 30 sets signal compensation for the vehicle-mounted radar 10 based on the section where the current rainfall value is located. In other words, the system controller 30 sets the anti-interference value for the vehicle-mounted radar 10 in a manner of inputting the rainfall clutter signal compensation to the vehicle-mounted radar 10 based on the rainfall value of the current environment detected by the rainfall sensor 20, so as to improve the anti-interference performance of the vehicle-mounted radar 10 with respect to the rainfall.
It is understood that, when the detected rainfall value is larger, the signal compensation value preset by the system controller 30 for the vehicle-mounted radar 10 is larger, wherein the signal compensation value preset by the system controller 30 may be a positive compensation value or may be implemented as a negative compensation value, that is, when the system controller 30 sets a positive compensation of the corresponding rainfall value for the vehicle-mounted radar 10, the vehicle-mounted radar 10 can remove the corresponding rainfall clutter signal through the positive compensation; when the system controller 30 sets the vehicle-mounted radar 10 with negative compensation corresponding to the rainfall value, the vehicle-mounted radar 10 can neutralize the corresponding rainfall clutter signal through the negative compensation.
Each of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 includes a radar main body 11, a radar controller 12, and a signal processor 13, wherein the radar controller 12 is electrically connected to the radar main body 11, and wherein the radar controller 12 is communicatively connected to the system controller 30. The system controller 30 sends a control signal to the radar controller 12, and the radar controller 12 controls the working mode of the radar host 11 to the radar host 11 in a manner of compensating the input rainfall clutter signal based on the control signal. It is understood that the radar controller 12 is electrically connected to an input terminal of the radar main body 11. The signal processor 13 is electrically connected to the radar host 11, and the signal processor 13 is communicatively connected to the system controller 30, wherein the signal processor 13 processes detection information detected by the radar host 11 based on a control signal of the system controller 30, and eliminates a clutter signal corresponding to a rainfall detected by the radar host 11 to obtain corresponding detected object information.
It is worth mentioning that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted radar 10 may be, but is not limited to, a millimeter wave radar.
Preferably, in the wired embodiment of the present invention, the signal processor 13 of the vehicle-mounted radar 10 processes the detection signal derived by the radar host 11 based on the control instruction of the system controller 30. When the system controller 30 starts the anti-interference operation mode based on the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20, the system controller 30 sends a control command to the signal processor 13 based on the interval position where the rainfall value is located, so that the signal processor 13 filters the corresponding rainfall clutter signal. Preferably, in this preferred embodiment of the invention, the signal processor 13 is implemented as a filter. Alternatively, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the signal processor 13 may also be implemented as a filter circuit provided in the signal processing circuit, or as a filter processing software module.
In short, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20 exceeds the set rainfall interference threshold, the system controller 30 controls the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to enter the anti-interference mode (rain operation mode), wherein the system controller 30 sends a control signal to the signal processor 13 of the vehicle-mounted radar 10, and the signal processor 13 filters out the interference signal corresponding to the rainfall noise to obtain the normal detection signal in the rain operation mode.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the system controller 30 may be implemented separately or simultaneously in the manner of inputting the compensation signal and the manner of processing the detection signal by the signal processor 13 to improve interference rejection performance. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 sets a compensation interference signal of the rainfall interference signal in advance based on the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20, transmits the compensation interference signal to the radar controller 12 of the vehicle-mounted radar 10, and controls the radar host 11 to transmit and receive radar detection signals in a compensation signal operation mode based on the compensation interference signal by the radar controller 12. When the radar host 11 receives a radar detection signal, the detection signal is transmitted to the signal processor 13, and the signal processor 13 receives the detection signal in a specific frequency range based on the control signal sent by the system controller 30 to filter an interference signal corresponding to the rainfall value.
It should be noted that the intensity of the rainfall interference signal detected by the vehicle-mounted radar 10 corresponds to the current rainfall value, that is, the larger the rainfall value is, the stronger the rainfall clutter signal detected by the vehicle-mounted radar 10 due to rainfall interference is, and the stronger the rainfall interference signal detected by the radar host 11 of the vehicle-mounted radar 10 is. It should be noted that the rainfall interference signal detected by the vehicle-mounted radar 10 due to rainfall interference is an uninterrupted continuous detection signal in a specific signal band, and the signal strength detected by the vehicle-mounted radar 10 is smaller due to the vehicle speed image. In other words, the rainfall clutter signal detected by the vehicle radar 10 due to the rainfall disturbance is a continuous clutter signal corresponding to the current rainfall value. Therefore, when the signal processor 13 of the in-vehicle radar 10 filters the clutter based on the control signal of the system controller 30, the signal processor 13 may filter the rainfall clutter signal corresponding to the current rainfall value to improve the detection performance of the in-vehicle radar.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted radar 10 of the vehicle-mounted radar system is provided to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle-mounted radar 10 may be provided to a front end, a rear end, an upper end, or both side surfaces of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle-mounted radar may be implemented as a traveling radar, a reversing radar, or the like of the vehicle according to an installation position of the vehicle-mounted radar 10.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 of the vehicle-mounted radar system is two or more, and during the running of the vehicle, one vehicle-mounted radar 10 is set as amain radar 10a and at least another vehicle-mounted radar is set as asub radar 10b by the system controller 30 based on a driving instruction of the current vehicle, wherein the detection of thesub radar 10b is data information used to correct the detection information of themain radar 10b, so that the detection result of the vehicle-mounted radar system is more accurate. Accordingly, the system controller 30 is communicably connected to the vehicle, and the system controller 30 can acquire driving information of the current vehicle, such as steering information of the vehicle, lane change information, and the like. The system controller 30 can obtain the driving condition of the current vehicle based on the control information of the vehicle, for example, when the vehicle changes lane to the left, the system controller 30 obtains the control information of the current vehicle changing lane to the left, and sets the vehicle-mounted radar to detect the obstacle existing in the left direction of the vehicle.
In short, in this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 is able to set the on-vehicle radar control adapted to the current vehicle driving situation according to the current vehicle driving situation. It is understood that theprimary radar 10a and thesecondary radar 10b of the vehicle radar 10 are defined as a function of the driving conditions of the vehicle, i.e., theprimary radar 10a and thesecondary radar 10b are defined by the system controller 30 as a function of the driving conditions.
Preferably, when the vehicle runs in a rainy environment, that is, the rainfall sensor 20 detects that the rainfall value of the vehicle exceeds a set interference threshold, the system controller 30 controls themain radar 10a and/or theauxiliary radar 10b to operate in an interference-free mode (a rainy operation mode), so as to further improve the detection accuracy of the vehicle-mounted radar system.
As shown in fig. 3, the vehicle-mounted radar 10 includes at least oneleft radar unit 10A and at least oneright radar unit 10B, wherein theleft radar unit 10A is disposed on the left side of the vehicle, and theright radar unit 10B is disposed on the right side of the vehicle, wherein theleft radar unit 10A is adapted to detect target detection areas on the left side and the left front (left rear) of the vehicle, and theright radar unit 10B is adapted to detect target detection areas on the right side and the right front (right rear) of the vehicle.
When a vehicle is running in a rainy environment, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A and/or theright radar unit 10B as themain radar 10A of the in-vehicle radar system based on a driving signal of the vehicle.
In detail, when the vehicle travels straight, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A and/or theright radar unit 10B as aprimary radar 10A, and sets theright radar unit 10B and/or theleft radar unit 10A as asecondary radar 10B, so as to assist in rectifying the detection result of theprimary radar 10A. In detail, when the vehicle travels straight, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A as themain radar 10A, wherein theright radar unit 10B is set as thesub radar 10B, wherein thesub radar 10B is used to correct the detection result of themain radar 10A, i.e., theleft radar unit 10A. It is worth mentioning that the system controller 30 controls themain radar 10a or theauxiliary radar 10b to operate in the rainy operation mode when the vehicle travels straight. Preferably, the system controller 30 sets theauxiliary radar 10b to operate in the rainy operation mode, and themain radar 10a to operate in a normal operation mode.
Alternatively, when the vehicle travels straight, the system controller 30 sets theright radar unit 10B as themain radar 10A, wherein theleft radar unit 10A is set as thesub radar 10B by the system controller 30, wherein the detection result of thesub radar 10B is used to correct the detection result of themain radar 10A, i.e., theright radar unit 10A. Alternatively, when the vehicle travels straight, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A and theright radar unit 10B as themain radar 10A and theauxiliary radar 10B, and uses the detection result of theleft radar unit 10A to correct the detection result of theright radar unit 10B, and uses the detection result of theright radar unit 10B to correct the detection result of theleft radar unit 10A. It should be noted that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 may randomly set any one of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 as themain radar 10a when the vehicle travels straight, and set any one of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 other than themain radar 10a as the auxiliary radar to correct the detection result of themain radar 10 a. In other words, theauxiliary radar 10b corrects the detection result thereof on the basis of themain radar 10a to further eliminate the interference of the rainfall to the vehicle-mounted radar.
Alternatively, in other optional embodiments of the present invention, the system controller 30 controls themain radar 10a and/or theauxiliary radar 10b of the in-vehicle radar 10 to enter the rainy day operation mode (interference-free operation mode). As an example, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, when themain radar 10a is controlled to enter the rainy operation mode, thesub radar 10b may operate in a normal operation mode; when theauxiliary radar 10b is controlled to enter the rainy day operation mode, themain radar 10a may operate in a normal operation mode; or the system controller 30 controls themain radar 10a and theauxiliary radar 10b to be in the rainy operation mode together.
It can be understood by those skilled in the art that when the vehicle-mounted radar operates in the normal operation mode, the vehicle-mounted radar is interfered by rainfall to generate a rainfall interference wave, and a part of clutter signals in the rainfall are inevitably regarded as obstacle signals, so that the detection accuracy of the vehicle-mounted radar is affected. When the vehicle-mounted radar works in the rainy day working mode, the detection result of the vehicle-mounted radar system is corrected by combining with a normal signal because the vehicle-mounted radar 10 removes the rainfall value interference signal of a specific wave band.
When the vehicle is traveling leftward, changing lanes leftward, or turning leftward, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A as the main radar, sets theright radar unit 10B as the auxiliary radar, and corrects the detection result of theleft radar unit 10A with theright radar unit 10B, based on the turning information of the vehicle. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 controls theleft radar unit 10A and/or theright radar unit 10B to operate in an anti-jamming operation mode (a rainy operation mode) when the vehicle is driven to the left, changes lane to the left, or turns left.
When the vehicle runs to the right, changes lanes to the right, or turns to the right, the system controller 30 sets theright radar unit 10B as themain radar 10A, sets theright radar unit 10A as thesub radar 10B, and corrects the detection result of theright radar unit 10B with theright radar unit 10A, based on the turning information of the vehicle. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 controls theright radar unit 10A and/or theright radar unit 10B to operate in an anti-jamming operation mode (a rainy operation mode) when the vehicle is driven to the right, changes lane to the right, or turns right.
As shown in fig. 4, according to another aspect of the present invention, another embodiment of a vehicle radar is further provided. The vehicle-mounted radar 10 includes at least oneleft radar unit 10A, at least oneright radar unit 10B, and at least onemiddle radar unit 10C, wherein theleft radar unit 10A is disposed on the left side of the vehicle, theright radar unit 10B is disposed on the right side of the vehicle, and themiddle radar unit 10C is disposed in the middle of the vehicle. Thecenter radar unit 10C is used to detect a detected area at any position and angle around the vehicle as a center.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 sets the radar unit of any one of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 as themain radar 10a and sets the radar unit of any one of the vehicle-mounted radars other than themain radar 10a as thesub radar 10b based on the traveling information of the vehicle.
Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 sets thecenter radar unit 10C as themain radar 10A, sets theleft radar unit 10A and theright radar unit 10B as thesub radar 10B, and corrects the detection result of themain radar 10A by thesub radar 10B.
More preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 controls theprimary radar 10a and/or thesecondary radar 10b to operate in the rainy day operation mode (interference rejection mode) based on the rainfall value of the rainfall sensor 20.
As an example, when the vehicle is running straight, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A and theright radar unit 10B as thesub radar 10B, and corrects the detection result of themiddle radar unit 10C with theleft radar unit 10A and theright radar unit 10B. When the vehicle turns left, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A as thesecondary radar 10b, and corrects the detection result of the middle radar unit with theleft radar unit 10A. When the vehicle turns right, the system controller 30 sets theright radar unit 10B as thesecondary radar 10B, and corrects the detection result of themiddle radar unit 10C with theright radar unit 10B.
Alternatively, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 sets theprimary radar 10a and thesecondary radar 10b based on the vehicle travel information. In detail, when the vehicle travels straight, the system controller 30 sets thecenter radar unit 10C as themain radar 10A, and sets theleft radar unit 10A and theright radar unit 10B as thesub radar 10B; when the vehicle turns left, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A as theprimary radar 10A, and sets themiddle radar unit 10C and theright radar unit 10B as thesecondary radar 10B; when the vehicle turns right, theright radar unit 10B is set as themain radar 10A, themiddle radar unit 10C and theleft radar unit 10A are set as thesub radar 10B, and thesub radar 10B is used to correct the detection result of themain radar 10A by the system controller 30.
It should be noted that, in other optional embodiments of the present invention, the system controller 30 may further set themain radar 10a and theauxiliary radar 10b according to other driving conditions, and set themain radar 10a and/or theauxiliary radar 10b to enter the rainy day operation mode based on the rainfall value detected by the rainfall sensor 20, so as to improve the detection accuracy of the vehicle-mounted radar system.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention further provides an anti-jamming method for a vehicle-mounted radar, wherein the anti-jamming method for the vehicle-mounted radar comprises the following steps:
(1) setting a rainfall interference threshold H0; and
(2) detecting a rainfall value, obtaining a corresponding rainfall interference value H according to the current rainfall value, and controlling a vehicle-mounted radar 10 to enter a rainy day working mode when the rainfall interference value H is not less than H0; and otherwise, controlling the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to work in the non-rainy working mode.
In the step (1) of the anti-interference method for the vehicle-mounted radar, a plurality of rainfall interference threshold intervals (H0, H1), (H1, H2), (H2, H3), (H3, H4) … are set, wherein H0 is less than H1 and less than H2 is less than H3 and less than H4, and the vehicle-mounted radar 10 is controlled to work in a specific rainy day working mode according to the fact that the rainfall interference value H is in the corresponding rainfall interference threshold interval.
The step (2) of the anti-interference method for the vehicle-mounted radar further comprises a step (2.1) of setting a signal compensation of the rainfall clutter corresponding to the current rainfall based on the rainfall interference value, and setting an anti-interference value for the vehicle-mounted radar 10 in a manner of inputting the rainfall clutter signal compensation to the vehicle-mounted radar 10. It should be noted that the preset signal compensation value can be a positive compensation value, and can also be implemented as a negative compensation value.
It is worth mentioning that the rain amount of the environment is detected by a rain sensor 20, wherein the rain sensor 20 is disposed on a wiper of the vehicle.
Each of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 includes a radar main body 11, a radar controller 12, and a signal processor 13, wherein the radar controller 12 is electrically connected to the radar main body 11, and wherein the radar controller 12 is communicatively connected to the system controller 30. The system controller 30 sends a control signal to the radar controller 12, and the radar controller 12 controls the working mode of the radar host 11 to the radar host 11 in a manner of compensating the input rainfall clutter signal based on the control signal. It is understood that the radar controller 12 is electrically connected to an input terminal of the radar main body 11. The signal processor 13 is electrically connected to the radar host 11, and the signal processor 13 is communicatively connected to the system controller 30, wherein the signal processor 13 processes detection information detected by the radar host 11 based on a control signal of the system controller 30, and eliminates a clutter signal corresponding to a rainfall detected by the radar host 11 to obtain corresponding detected object information.
The system controller 30 sends the signal compensation information to the radar controller 12, and the radar controller 12 controls the radar host to send a detection signal of a specific waveband. When the system controller 30 controls the vehicle-mounted radar 10 to enter the anti-jamming mode, the radar controller 12 adds the compensation signal to the transmitting end of the radar host 11 based on the control signal of the system controller 30, so as to transmit a probe signal with compensation information.
The step (2) of the anti-interference method for the vehicle-mounted radar further comprises the step (2.2) of sending a control command to the signal processor 13 based on the interval position where the rainfall value is located, so that the signal processor 13 filters the corresponding rainfall clutter signal. Preferably, in this preferred embodiment of the invention, the signal processor 13 is implemented as a filter. Alternatively, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the signal processor 13 may also be implemented as a filter circuit provided in the signal processing circuit, or as a filter processing software module.
The system controller 30 sends a control signal to the signal processor 13 of the vehicle-mounted radar 10, and the signal processor 13 filters an interference signal corresponding to the rainfall noise to obtain a normal detection signal in a rainy day working mode.
The anti-interference method for the vehicle-mounted radar further comprises the step (3) of setting at least onemain radar 10a and at least oneauxiliary radar 10b, so that theauxiliary radar 10b corrects the detection result of themain radar 10 a.

More preferably, the system controller 30 sets theauxiliary radar 10b to operate in the rainy operation mode, and themain radar 10a to operate in a normal operation mode.
Alternatively, when the vehicle is running straight, the system controller 30 sets theright radar unit 10B as themain radar 10A, wherein theleft radar unit 10A is set as thesub radar 10B by the system controller 30, wherein thesub radar 10B is used to correct themain radar 10A. Alternatively, when the vehicle travels straight, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A and theright radar unit 10B as themain radar 10A and theauxiliary radar 10B, and uses the detection result of theleft radar unit 10A to correct the detection result of theright radar unit 10B, and uses the detection result of theright radar unit 10B to correct the detection result of theleft radar unit 10A. It should be noted that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 may randomly set any one of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 as themain radar 10a when the vehicle travels straight, and set any one of the vehicle-mounted radars 10 other than themain radar 10a as the auxiliary radar to correct the detection result of themain radar 10 a. In other words, theauxiliary radar 10b corrects the detection result thereof on the basis of themain radar 10a to further eliminate the interference of the rainfall to the vehicle-mounted radar.
The anti-interference method of the vehicle-mounted radar further comprises the following step (3.2) in the step (3): when the vehicle is traveling leftward, changing lanes leftward, or turning leftward, the system controller 30 sets theleft radar unit 10A as the main radar, sets theright radar unit 10B as the auxiliary radar, and corrects the detection result of theleft radar unit 10A with theright radar unit 10B, based on the turning information of the vehicle. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system controller 30 controls theleft radar unit 10A and/or theright radar unit 10B to operate in an anti-jamming operation mode (a rainy operation mode) when the vehicle is driven to the left, changes lane to the left, or turns left.
