Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of radar communication integration, and particularly relates to a radar communication integration signal design method based on OCDM.

Background

With the development of information technology, the operation system of modern war equipment is developed from simplification to comprehensiveness, and the operation platform is equipped with a large amount of electromagnetic equipment. However, excessive equipment is concentrated on the operation platform, which brings a series of problems of increase of volume and power consumption, interference among equipment, reduction of system operation performance and efficiency, and the like, and greatly affects the comprehensive operation capability of the platform, so that the research on the integrated design of different electronic information systems on the operation platform is of great significance.

With the rapid development of communication technology, various communication devices are increasing day by day, resulting in increasingly crowded spectrum resource occupation. The existing radar system occupies abundant frequency spectrum resources, but the utilization rate is low. The integration of radar communication can enable the radar system and the communication system to share spectrum resources while completing respective functions. One of the important means for realizing the system is to use radar communication integrated waveform, the waveform can realize two functions of detection and communication at the same time, and a receiver processes an echo signal to obtain target information and can simultaneously receive and demodulate the transmitted integrated signal to obtain modulation data.

The current integrated system design research can be broadly divided into two categories: one is based on the multiplexing technology, including space division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, code division multiplexing, this kind of design is that radar and communication use the independent waveform separately, then adopt a certain kind of multiplexing technology to synthesize the multiplexing waveform, the characteristic is that the difficulty of realizing is lower, the mutual influence between radar and communication waveform is minor, it is easier on the hardware realization too, but this kind of design is not the integration in the true sense, can't realize radar detection and communication data transmission at the same time; the other is based on the fact that radar communication shares a single waveform, the design is mainly divided into two modes, one mode is that communication information is modulated on a common radar waveform, the radar waveform completes data transmission while detection is conducted, the other mode is that communication multi-carrier signals such as OFDM signals are directly used for radar detection, and at present, waveform sharing is the mainstream research direction of radar communication integration.

The method for modulating the communication information on the common radar waveform is suitable for scenes with low requirement on the communication rate, and although the communication rate of the OFDM integrated signal is high, the orthogonality of the sub-carriers is easily affected by Doppler frequency offset, so that the performance is reduced.

Detailed Description

As shown in fig. 1, in the method for designing an OCDM-based radar communication integrated signal, communication data is used to control cyclic shift of a phase coding sequence, shifted phase coding information is modulated onto an OCDM signal through inverse discrete fresnel transform, and inverse discrete fresnel transform is implemented through IFFT. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1: the original phase-encoding sequence is generated using the P4 code:

wherein M is the length of the phase encoding sequence, T represents the sub code element width of the phase encoding sequence,for each symbol envelope, a_n,mThe nth phase coding information on the mth group of linear frequency modulation signal sets is represented by the following specific expression:

a_n,m＝exp(jφ_m)m＝1,2,…,M

wherein the phase state phi_mComprises the following steps:

step 2: and converting the communication data into N groups of data in a serial-parallel mode, wherein each group of data comprises kbit information. Where N is the number of a set of chirp signals and M is chosen to be a positive integer power of 2, i.e. M is a number of positive integers, to obtain optimum modulation efficiency

M＝2^k

The communication rate of the signal of the invention is as follows:

and circularly shifting the phase coding sequence according to the decimal number corresponding to each group of binary information to obtain a complementary code information matrix with the order of NxM.

For example, based on the original phase encoding sequence obtained in step 1, when the decimal number corresponding to the nth set of binary information is l, the original phase encoding sequence is circularly right-shifted by l bits.

And step 3: modulating the complementary code information matrix obtained in the step 2 to an orthogonal linear frequency modulation signal set through inverse discrete Fresnel transformation to obtain radar communication integrated signals

Wherein N represents the number of a group of linear frequency modulation signals, and the bandwidth B of the integrated signal is N/T.

The modulation process is completed by IFFT and two additional quadratic phase terms, specifically:

taking B as the sampling rate, giving a discrete form of the integrated signal s (t):

according to the discrete Fresnel transformation expression:

where Φ (m, N) represents the (m, N) th entry in the N × N-th order DFnT matrix. Splitting the discrete fresnel transform into two quadratic phase terms Θ₁、Θ₂And a fourier transform W:

the complementary code information matrix a and the square phase term theta are combined₂Multiplying the matrix conjugated into diagonal data, and then performing IFFT transformation on the matrix multiplied by the diagonal data to obtain theta₁And (3) multiplying the conjugated matrixes to obtain a radar communication integrated signal s:

wherein W_IRepresents the matrix of the inverse fourier transform,anddenotes Θ₁And Θ₂Conjugation of (1).

In some embodiments, in step 2, the number N of chirp signals is selectedM＝2^kAnd k is a positive integer, so that the maximum modulation efficiency can be obtained on one hand, and the modulation process can be realized by utilizing inverse Fourier transform on the other hand.

The integrated signal designed by the invention not only contains communication information, but also can realize the radar detection function.

Examples

This embodiment considers a simple case, where the number of chirp signals N is 16 and the original phase-encoding sequence uses a 16-bit P4 code.

64-bit binary information is randomly generated by matlab software and converted into 16 groups, and each group has 4 bits, namely k is 4.

The symbol width T is set to 1us, and no weighting process is performed on the chirp signal.

As shown in fig. 2, the signal is generated by performing a block serial-parallel conversion on the transmission data to obtain 16 groups of data, each group having 4 bits, cyclically shifting the phase encoding sequence according to the decimal number corresponding to each group of binary information, for example, when the decimal number corresponding to the nth group of binary information is l, cyclically shifting the original phase encoding sequence by l to the right to obtain a complementary phase encoding sequence information matrix, and then combining the information matrix with the square phase term Θ₂The matrix conjugated into diagonal data is multiplied, and is transformed by IFFT and then is theta with the diagonal data₁And multiplying the conjugated matrixes, and finally completing modulation to obtain the radar communication integrated signal.

And characterizing the radar detection performance of the signal by using a fuzzy function. The fuzzy function of the integrated signal in the example is simulated, as shown in fig. 3, the shape of the fuzzy function is close to that of a picture pin type, and the requirement of radar detection is met. A plurality of groups of different binary information are randomly generated, simulation is carried out under the condition of the example, and the fuzzy function is slightly fluctuated but is close to the ideal pin type fuzzy function. Meanwhile, a distance fuzzy function and a speed fuzzy function of the simulation signal are shown in the attached figures 4 and 5, and the integrated signal distance measurement and speed measurement performance is good.

The bit error rate performance of the integrated signal in this example was simulated as shown in fig. 6. Compared with the error rate performance of a multi-carrier phase coding signal (MCPC), the method has the advantages that the error rate of the signal is lower, and the reliability of communication can be guaranteed theoretically.

For the communication function, the communication receiving end can perform demodulation through discrete fresnel transform, as shown in fig. 7. Firstly, the received integrated signal is serial-parallel converted and then multiplied by theta₁Is a diagonal matrix, is subjected to FFT conversion and then multiplied by theta₂The matrix is a diagonal matrix, and finally demodulated data can be obtained through parallel-serial conversion and correlation processing. The relevant processing process specifically comprises the following steps: and respectively carrying out correlation operation on the demodulated signals and sequences obtained under different shifting conditions of the 16 groups of phase encoding sequences, selecting a group of phase encoding sequences with the maximum correlation peak value, wherein 4 bits of information corresponding to the shifting bits of the phase encoding sequences are communication information transmitted by a transmitting end.
