机载单站无源定位系统中相位差变化率提取方法(英文)

相位差变化率含有目标辐射源的距离信息,是机载单站无源定位系统中的重要参数。本文以正弦单载波脉冲信号为例,分析了基于相位差变化率的单站无源定位原理,以及测量误差的组成。基于对Cramer-Rao下限的分析,提出了一种基于多次观测的相位差变化率的高精度测量方法——时间片处理法。在相位差变化率的测量中,当信噪比较低时,频域鉴相方法优于时域鉴相方法,多时间片处理能够显著地降低测量方差,仿真验证了此算法的正确性和有效性。典型的无源定位场景的仿真验证了算法对动态测量的适应性。此测量算法简单、计算量小,易于实现。

Rate of Phase Difference Change Estimation in Single Airborne Passive Locating System

As an important parameter in the single airborne passive locating system, the rate of phase difference change contains range information of the radio emitter. Taking single carrier sine pulse signals as an example, this article illustrates the principle of passive location through measurement of rates of phase difference change and analyzes the structure of measurement errors. On the basis of the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB), an algorithm associated with time-chips is proposed to determine the rates of phase difference change. In the measurement of the rates of phase difference change, phase discrimination in the frequency domain outperforms that in the time domain when signal noise rate (SNR) is lower. Multi-chip processing can significantly reduce variance of the measurement of rates of phase difference change. Simulations demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. The simulations carried out on the typical single airborne passive location have proved its adaptability to dynamic measurements. The proposed algorithm to determine the rates of phase difference change proves simple and easy to implement with less computation workload.
