太赫兹雷达目标HRRP特性分析

The Analysis of Target HRRP Properties in Terahertz Band

  • 摘要: 太赫兹由于其穿透性强、大带宽等优势,在雷达信号处理领域受到了广泛的关注。同时,高分辨率距离像(High Resolution Range Profiles, HRRP)在目标检测、识别以及成像等领域具有很高的应用价值,但是,针对太赫兹频段目标HRRP特性的研究却较少。本文首先从确定信号模型对太赫兹频段目标HRRP的方位角敏感性进行了研究,并利用协方差矩阵的主特征向量提取其平均HRRP,从而达到抑制目标HRRP方位角敏感性的目的。另外,根据距离单元中散射点的不同分布,对太赫兹雷达目标HRRP距离单元进行分类,并分别使用瑞利模型、赖斯模型以及混合分布模型进行统计建模。之后,使用对数积累量方法(Method of LogCumulants, MoLC)和基于字典的随机最大期望(Dictionarybased Stochastic ExpectationMaximization, DSEM)算法对上述模型的参数进行估计。最后,利用研制的太赫兹高分辨率雷达系统开展了不同带宽下的复杂目标HRRP特性实验,实验结果表明,太赫兹频段下目标平均HRRP与HRRP帧内其他HRRP的相关系数高于单个HRRP,同时,对于高分辨率下的目标HRRP距离单元统计特性,可以使用混合分布模型对其进行建模。

     

    Abstract: Terahertz (THz) wave has aroused extensive attention since the highly penetrability and wide band signal. And it has been identified that the high resolution range profiles (HRRP) possess great potentials in target detection, recognition, imaging, and so on. However, the properties of target HRRP in THz band are rarely investigated. This paper researched the targetaspect sensitivity with the deterministic model, and planning to overcome it by extracting the average HRRP based on the principle eigenvector of covariance matrix. Then, according to the different distribution of scattering center, the range cells were classified. Rayleigh, Ricean and Mixture models were proposed to describe the statistical characteristics of range cells amplitude histogram. The Method of LogCumulants (MoLC) and Dictionarybased Stochastic ExpectationMaximization (DSEM) methods were utilized to estimate the parameters of statistical models. Finally, the experiments of target HRRP properties in THz band were performed with the THz high resolution radar system. The experimental results showed that average HRRP of multiple HRRPs has higher correlation coefficients with other HRRPs than single HRRP does. And the statistical characteristics of the range cell can be described by the mixture model precisely.
