技术领域technical field
本发明属于阵列信号处理技术领域,具体涉及一种基于提取参数分数时延的宽带NLFM发射波束形成方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of array signal processing, and in particular relates to a broadband NLFM transmit beamforming method based on fractional time delay extraction parameters.
背景技术Background technique
目前常用的宽带雷达信号是LFM信号。在脉冲压缩体制雷达中,LFM信号脉冲压缩结果副瓣较高。为了降低副瓣,通常采用窗函数加权,这会引起信噪比的损失和主瓣展宽等问题。而NLFM信号脉冲压缩后距离旁瓣较低,无需进行加权,避免了失配引起的信噪比损失。使用NLFM信号的宽带雷达系统,同时具备宽带信号和NLFM信号的优点:低截获性和低脉冲压缩旁瓣。在宽带阵列信号中,TTD的波形产生是发射波束形成的基本要求。TTD线可将时延划分为整数时延和分数时延,为了实现宽带波形的分数时延,可以采用两种数字方法。一种是时域法,数字可变分数延迟(VFD)滤波器(如Farrow结构滤波器)和其他使用牛顿或样条插值的滤波器得到了广泛的研究。另一种方法是基于傅里叶变换时移特性的频域法,该方法首先将原始参考波形通过离散傅里叶变换(DFT)转移到频域,然后对每个频域分量进行线性相移,最后利用逆DFT(IDFT)将频域分量转移回时域序列。然而在时域法中,VFD滤波器需要上百个抽头,要求滤波器具有宽频宽、振幅平坦度高、延时精度高等特点。对于频域法,为了满足时延精度,对于大的时间带宽积波形,DFT点的数量不应小于采样点的数量,采样点的数量可以超过一万。虽然这两种方法都可以有效地实现任意时延,但是实现的硬件和软件都非常复杂,将消耗大量的资源。The commonly used broadband radar signal is LFM signal at present. In pulse compression system radar, LFM signal pulse compression results in higher sidelobes. In order to reduce the side lobe, window function weighting is usually used, which will cause the loss of signal-to-noise ratio and the broadening of the main lobe. However, the NLFM signal has lower range sidelobe after pulse compression, and no weighting is needed, which avoids the loss of signal-to-noise ratio caused by mismatch. Wideband radar systems using NLFM signals have the advantages of both wideband and NLFM signals: low intercept and low pulse compression sidelobes. In wideband array signals, TTD waveform generation is a basic requirement for transmit beamforming. The TTD line can divide the time delay into integer time delay and fractional time delay. In order to realize the fractional time delay of broadband waveform, two digital methods can be used. One is the time-domain approach, where digital variable fractional delay (VFD) filters (such as Farrow structure filters) and others using Newton or spline interpolation have been extensively studied. Another method is the frequency-domain method based on the time-shift characteristics of the Fourier transform, which first transfers the original reference waveform to the frequency domain through the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and then performs a linear phase shift on each frequency-domain component , and finally the frequency domain components are transferred back to the time domain sequence using inverse DFT (IDFT). However, in the time-domain method, the VFD filter needs hundreds of taps, and the filter is required to have the characteristics of wide bandwidth, high amplitude flatness, and high delay accuracy. For the frequency domain method, in order to meet the delay accuracy, for large time-bandwidth product waveforms, the number of DFT points should not be less than the number of sampling points, and the number of sampling points can exceed 10,000. Although these two methods can effectively achieve arbitrary delay, the hardware and software for implementation are very complex and will consume a lot of resources.
TTD线可将时延划分为整数时延和分数时延,而分数时延本质上即是改变信号相位与包络移动。文献提出了一种通过改变信号参数在DDS中补偿信号相位的方法,通过分析信号时域表达式,利用直接数字合成器(DDS)的控制参数来实现相位补偿。但是该方法需要得到信号的时域相位表达式。而常用的NLFM信号通过窗函数设计,其时域相位表达式需通过对群延迟函数求逆再积分得到,它是隐性的。NLFM信号产生的传统方法是使用窗函数,通过相位驻定原理设计波形。目前对NLFM信号的研究通常是在窄带背景下对信号的产生方法尤其是拟合方法进行改良,使用多项式拟合出NLFM信号的时域表达式或者使用傅里叶级数展开得到信号相位表达式。但采用傅里叶级数拟合后表达式中将出现三角函数,若使用数字信号处理结构产生分数时延信号将消耗大量珍贵的乘法器资源,而采用多项式拟合则可尽量使用相位累加器,资源消耗较少。The TTD line can divide the delay into integer delay and fractional delay, and the fractional delay is essentially changing the signal phase and envelope movement. The literature proposes a method of compensating the signal phase in DDS by changing the signal parameters. By analyzing the signal time domain expression, the phase compensation is realized by using the control parameters of the direct digital synthesizer (DDS). But this method needs to obtain the time domain phase expression of the signal. The commonly used NLFM signal is designed through the window function, and its phase expression in the time domain needs to be obtained by inverting and integrating the group delay function, which is implicit. The traditional method of NLFM signal generation is to use the window function and design the waveform through the phase-stationary principle. The current research on NLFM signals is usually to improve the signal generation method, especially the fitting method, in the narrowband background, using polynomials to fit the time domain expression of the NLFM signal or using Fourier series expansion to obtain the signal phase expression . However, trigonometric functions will appear in the expression after Fourier series fitting. If a digital signal processing structure is used to generate a fractional time-delay signal, a large amount of precious multiplier resources will be consumed, while polynomial fitting can use the phase accumulator as much as possible. , less resource consumption.

其中a0(t)为参考阵元信号的包络,为参考阵元信号的相位;设拟合为指数多项式,拟合阶数为n,得参考阵元信号的相位为:where a 0 (t) is the envelope of the reference element signal, is the phase of the reference array element signal; if the fitting is an exponential polynomial, the fitting order is n, and the phase of the reference array element signal is obtained for:
其中Pi,0根据f(t)离散值数值积分并拟合曲线得到,i=0,1,2,...,n-1,n,下标i代表参数对应指数i;则第m+1个阵元的延迟波形sm(t)为:Among them, P i, 0 is obtained according to f(t) discrete value numerical integration and curve fitting, i=0, 1, 2, ..., n-1, n, subscript i represents the parameter corresponding to index i; then the mth The delay waveform s m (t) of +1 array element is:
其中a0(t-Fm)为包络时延,为相移,δ(t-Tm)为冲激函数;where a 0 (tF m ) is the envelope delay, is the phase shift, δ(tT m ) is the impulse function;
若要实现不同阵元的信号时延,可先对参考阵元波形s0(t)延后相应整数倍的采样周期,再根据分数时延Fm产生分数时延波形。实现分数时延需计算包络时延a0(t-Fm)和相移本实施例为S型NLFM信号的包络a(t)=A,为恒模函数。To realize the signal time delay of different array elements, the reference array element waveform s 0 (t) can be delayed by the corresponding integer multiple of the sampling period, and then the fractional time delay waveform can be generated according to the fractional time delay F m . Achieving fractional delay requires calculation of envelope delay a 0 (tF m ) and phase shift In this embodiment, the envelope a(t)=A of the S-type NLFM signal is a constant modulus function.
若要不同阵元信号在θt方向同相位合成,则第m+1个阵元发射分数时延波形的相位参数应取Pi,m(i=0,1,2,...,n-1,n,下标i代表参数对应指数i,m代表阵元编号)。根据多项式的性质,知Pi,m的数值为:If different array element signals are synthesized in the same phase in the θ t direction, the phase parameter of the fractional delay waveform transmitted by the m+1th array element should be P i, m (i=0, 1, 2, ..., n -1, n, the subscript i represents the index corresponding to the parameter i, and m represents the array element number). According to the properties of polynomials, the value of P i, m is known as:
其中为排列组合,若设定参考阵元的相位拟合多项式参数,则其他M-1个阵元的相位拟合多项式参数Pi,m便全部计算出,得到所有阵元的相位。in For permutation and combination, if the phase fitting polynomial parameters of the reference array element are set, then the phase fitting polynomial parameters P i, m of the other M-1 array elements are all calculated, and the phases of all array elements are obtained.
第m+1阵元的分数时延波形为:The fractional delay waveform of the m+1th array element is:
其中A为恒包络。where A is the constant envelope.

从图3可知,在取16阶拟合时,脉冲压缩后副瓣已达到-40dB以下,且随着阶数提高,拟合精度改善已不明显。从图4图5可知,FPGA仿真结果与MATLAB软件仿真结果一致,该方法产生了准确的分数时延波形。从图6可知,波束准确指向预先设定的30°,发射波束的合成方向良好,没有明显偏移失真。从图7可知,相比LFM信号,NLFM信号会略微展宽主瓣,但是副瓣明显降低,降低幅度超过20dB,改善明显。It can be seen from Figure 3 that when the 16-order fitting is used, the sidelobe has reached below -40dB after pulse compression, and the improvement of the fitting accuracy is not obvious as the order increases. It can be seen from Figure 4 and Figure 5 that the FPGA simulation results are consistent with the MATLAB software simulation results, and this method produces accurate fractional delay waveforms. It can be seen from Figure 6 that the beam is accurately pointed to the preset 30°, the combined direction of the transmitted beam is good, and there is no obvious offset distortion. It can be seen from Figure 7 that compared with the LFM signal, the NLFM signal will slightly broaden the main lobe, but the side lobe is significantly reduced, and the reduction is more than 20dB, which is an obvious improvement.
