A mathematical model for signals description of the autodyne short-range radar (ASRR) with the simultaneous pulse amplitude modulation (РАМ) and the linear frequency modulation (FM) is considered. The peculiarities of signal formation are described, which are obtained from the radar distributed object in the form of an ensemble of an arbitrary number of point-type reflectors. Signal calculations are carried out by the offered approach of the step method for the case of two point reflectors on the radar object located at various distances from ASRR. The distinctive signal properties formed at reception of the first and further emissions reflected form the radar object are established. After sending of the probe emission, the reception of the first reflected emission from the set of shining points is accompanied by linear signal superposition formation from separate reflectors. The reception of further reflections causes an appearance of combinational signal interaction from separate reflectors. The character and degree of such an interaction is defined by the feedback parameter of ASRR, which depends on the autodyne frequency deviation and delay time of reflected emission. Results of ASRR experimental investigations with simultaneous РАМ and the linear FM are obtained using the oscillating module made on the Gunn diode of 8mm-range.

Introduction

When using in autodyne short range radar (ASRR) of the simultaneous pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and frequency modulation (FM). we provide the essential ASRR noise-immunity and a possibility to form the near and far detection zones' boundaries in the range [1]. Besides, autodyne (AD) operation intermittence increases the ASRR operation secrecy as well as essentially decreases the power consumption. Owing to mentioned advantages, the radio pulse ADs are widely used in the military devices, in various sensors of collision avoidance with obstacles in the motor-car and railway transport, in radio wave sensors of guarding destination and in many other applications [2 5].

In the real ASRR operation conditions, the autodyne interacts with the emission reflected from the distributed, spatially-non-uniform radar target. Nevertheless, all published investigations known to us and devoted to studying of AD signal features from the distributed target, were mainly performed in connection with continuous wave AD without PAM [6]. A series of such research results is obtained separately for the radio pulse AD and the FM autodyne. At

that, signal properties are studied at simultaneous utilization of PAM and FM on an example of the only elementary point reflector only (see our paper [1.7.8]). In this connection, it is expedient to examine the case when the emission reflected from the distributed target affects on the ASRR with PAM and FM. Results of these investigations necessary for AD correct application in SRR and for widening of its functional opportunities are described in this paper.

1 Main Equations for an Analysis

To develop the mathematical model of ASRR with the proper emission reflected from the spatially-distributed target, we consider the equivalent circuit presented in Fig. 1. Its resonant system (RS) is shown by a parallel tuned circuit, which contains the capacitor. the inductance and the conductance of own losses. At that, the capacitor represents a set of capacitances of the cavity itself, the permanent part of equivalent capacitances of AE and the varicap.

present them as the set of partial current oscillations obtained from K shining points:

Fig. 1. The equivalent circuit of the autodyne transceiver module with simultaneous PAM and FM.

The load conductivity Gl and the signal current

K

source js = js(t,r) = jk are connected in parallel k=\

with the tuned circuit. At that, Gl designates the input conductance of the antenna, and the current source -the impact to AD of the set of partial current sources jk = jk (t,Tk) caused by the reflected emission from the appropriate shining points (elementary reflectors) of the reflecting target (RT). Here Tk = 2lk/c is delay time of the reflected emission for the kth shining point located on the Ik distance; c is the speed of radio wave propagation.

The AE of AD (for instance, the Gunn diode) in this circuit is also connected in parallel with RS on high frequency. In the general case, the Yae conductance of this element averaged over the oscillation period is the complex variable. It depends on the A amplitude, the current frequency w. Yae— Gae + JBae, where Gae = Gae{A,u), Bae = Bae{A,w) are reactive and reactive AE conductance, relatively. We shall assume then that during the pulse amplitude modulation of AD, the conductance Gae varies. It has a positive value G{+1 when generation is absent, and becomes negative G^-^ when the excitation conditions in AD and formation of the probing radio pulse are created.

The main task of the considered model analysis is determination of time-laws of oscillation amplitude and frequency after AD activation during the time of radio pulse formation. To solve the task stated, we assume that the stationary oscillation mode settle down occurs during negligible small time compared to the minimal delay time Tk- Taking into consideration the high enough loaded Q-factor QL = urC/G, where G = Glos + GL, ur = (LC)'1 /2 is the RS resonance frequency, we assume that oscillations on AE are quasi-harmonic. Then, an expression for output oscillations emitted by an antenna toward the radar target, beginning from the time t = 0, can be written in the general case as: u(t) — Re[A(t)a(t) exp j^(t)]. Here ^^ = u0t + ^ is the AD full oscillation phase; A = A(t), = p(t) are slowly-changed variables of amplitude and phase in the current time moment t\ a(t) is the Heaviside function.

Oscillations reflected from the target and received by an antenna are quasi-harmonic as well. Let us

where Jk{t, Tk), t, Tk) are the partial amplitude and phase of AD reflected oscillations from the kth shining point; a(Tk) = o(t = Tk) is the function a(t) shifted on Tk time.

Usually, the wave amplitude, which is reflected from RT (1) and arrived into AD cavity, is significantly less than the amplitude of AD natural oscillations. Therefore, the further analysis of the autodyne response we perform in assumption of the small signal. For this case, according to known approach [9, 10], we obtain the system of differential equations with retarded argument for small amplitude relative variations a = (A — A0)/A0 and frequency variations X = (u — u0)/u0 of AD oscillations:

where a, e, ft are parameters defining the AD reduced increment slope, non-isodromity and non-isochronity, relatively [ ]; Tk = Tk(t,Tk) = TokAk(t,Tk)/A(t), Sk = Sk(t, Tk) = t)t,Tk) is a modulus and a phase of the instantaneous partial reflection factor on voltage from the kth shining point, which are reduced to AD terminals; Ak(t,Tk), ^^t,Tk) are amplitude and phase of AD oscillations in the time moment (t — Tk); r0fc is the reflection factor characterizing the emission damping in amplitude at emission propagation to the kth shining point and back; r/ = Ql/Qex, Qex is efficiency and external RS Q-factor.

At FM of autonomous oscillator by variation of bias voltage on the varicap, when T0k = 0, both frequency wfm (t) and the spurious amplitude modulation (SAM) A am (t) of emission [ ]:

UFM (t) = Wo + A^fm (t) = Wo [1 + mFM fmod (t)], (4)

AAM{t) = Ao[1 + aAM(t)] = Ao[1 + mAMfmod(t)] (5)

where mFM = AuFm /^o and m am = AAAm Mo are coefficients of FM and amplitude (AM) modulation,

relatively; AuFM, AAaM are maximal deviations of amplitude and frequency from their stationary values A0 mid due to modulation; fmod(t) is the normalized function , which frequency is Qm0d.

Determination of the general solution of the equation system (2). (3) with account (4) and ((5) at arbitrary values of PAM and FM, and also values of rk and Sk at present seems to us as impossible. To continue this system examination, we assume that the least period of the autodyne response Tk is essentially more than the most delay time of the reflected emission Tk, and also the transient period of the autodyne response Ta = Ql/uuo{ 1 - 7p) [ ]: Tk >> Tk, Ta. In addition, we suppose that the radio pulse repetition period Tpui is significantly more than the period of modulation function Tmoa = od: TPui << Tm o d-

The first assumption permits to write: rk = r0 k [ ]. Such an approximation in the ASRR mathematical model assumes taking into account of the phase delay only of the reflected emission. Other assumptions allow obtaining of the quasi-static [12] solution of the first approximation of (2) and (3) with account of (4) and (5). For this, supposing in (2) and ( ) da/dt = df/dt = 0, we solve the obtained system of algebraic equations according to the Cramer method. Ass a result, we have expressions for the autodyne response on variation of the relative amplitude a(t) and absolute values of frequency w(t) in the form:

Then, let us consider the last terms in (C) and (7) defining useful components formation of the autodyne response. For these components, we have the normalized expressions for amplitude an(t) = a(t)/Ty,Ka (ACA) and frequency \n(t) = x(t)/r^La (FCA) characteristics of the autodyne with PAM and FM in the form:

where Rk = rk/r-% is the normalized modulus of the partial reflection factor fro kth shining point; =

K

Y^ r k is the modulus sum of the partial reflection k=i

factors for K shining points of the target. AC A an(t) and FCA xn(t) are the main ASRR characteristics defining a form and spectral composition of signals formed in AD [12]. We would like to note also that, starting from the normalization condition, the sum of Rk values over all k should be equal to 1.

According to the steps method [13], expressions (6), (7), (8), (9) permit to write the main relationships for calculation of absolute values of phase Sk and frequency u(t), as well as ACA an(t) and FCA xn(t) of AD for the general case of emission impact from K shining points of the reflecting target.

Step 0. This step corresponds to the time interval t G (0, t1) from the moment of oscillator activation to arrival of the first reflected emission. As in the case of the point reflector [ ], in this case w(0)(t) = wfM(t) = U0 + A^FMfmodit) and a(0\t) = mAMfmod(t), while a-n^ft) = Xn)(t) = 0. Thus, in this interval, we have, for each separate radio pulse, the steady-state mode depending only on the modulation function fmod(t). At that, the AD autodyne response is absent.

Hereinafter, indices in upper parenthesis at variables designate the step number.

Step 1. As a result of impact of the first ensemble of reflected emission from K shining points of the target, the autodyne variation of phase incursion happen of reflected emission from the separate reflectors the frequency w(1\t), as well as AD ACA a<n1) (t) and FCA x<i\t) in the form of simple sums of separate components from (6), (7), (8), (9):

Here, we would like to note additionally that the limitation is imposed upon values of the feedback parameter CFB that a sum of CFB values for all k should not exceed 1. Otherwise, the autodyne response formation can happen by jumps.

2 Calculation of Autodyne Signals

The main signal properties we examine on an example of target representation in the form of two shining points. At that, we choose the ratio of output signal periods and the modulation function period as multiplies in order to exclude influence of phase break points. We perform the signal analysis on the example of utilization in ASRR with PAM and FM of nonsymmetrical saw-tooth law of the modulation function fm od(t) = (2/Ti)t&n'1 [ta,n(irt)].

Calculation results of ACA in the form of time diagrams oh^ (t) and spectral characte ristics sin\Fn) of autodyne signals on amplitude variations are presented in Fig. 2(b) - (e). Calculations of ACA ahn')(t) were performed according to (12), (16), (18), and (21) for n

using the MathCad packet.

Figure 2(a), for better observation of current processes of signal formation, shows the time diagram fmod(t) and the spectral characteristic Smod(Fn) of modulating function. Here sin\Fn) and Smod(Fn) are spectral characteristics drawn for modulus of

amplitude coefficients of functions a^ (t) and fmod(t) expansion into the Fourier series over the period of modulation function, accordingly; Fn = 2nF/Qmod is the normalized frequency.

Calculation results of FCA in the form of time diagrams x^ (t) and spectral characteristics S^ (Fn ) of the autodyne response on the frequency variation are presented in Figs. 3(a) - (d). Calculations of FCA X^(t) were carried out according (11), (17), (18), and ( ). Here S(xn) (Fn) are spectral characteristics constructed for modulus of amplitude expansion coefficients of functions x^ (t) in the Fourier series during the modulating function period.

Calculations of characteristics presented in Figs. 2 and 3 were performed for 8m-range oscillator, which frequency is u0 = 2n x 37.5 x 109, the FM deviation is AuFM = 2n x 30 x 106, the offset angles of autodyne responses 6 = 1 and ^ = -0.2. It was assumed that two shining points in the form of elementary reflectors are located from ASRR at distances l1 = 20m and

l2 = 25m. At that, ratios of proper amplitudes at ASRR input are: R1 = 0.55, R2 = 0.45, and partial AD feedback parameters are: CFB = 0.45, CFFB = 0.55.

FCA in the form of time diagrams x«^ (t) (left) and spectral characteristics S^ (Fn) (right) of the autodyne response on frequency variations of ASRR with PAM and FM calculated for different serial numbers n of reflected emission impact from two shining points: n = 1(a), n = 2(b), n = 3(c), and n = 4(d).

From characteristics in Figs. 2(b) and 3(a) we see that at first step, the result of emission impact from separate shining points located at different distances represents the linear superposition of sine signals as it was in the homodyne systems. In this segment of the AD transient characteristic, the emitted and reflected oscillations of the radio pulse oscillator have no mutual dependence since here the oscillation frequency u(0) (t) varies only due to FM and the phase incursion linear related with delay time rk: = uj(°) (t) rk.

At second and following steps (see Fig. 2(c)-(e) and Fig. 3(b)-(d)) we clearly see manifestation of nonlinear interaction of partial signals obtained from different reflectors. As a result of such an interaction, the higher harmonics and sum, difference and combination components (besides the fundamental components) of the response are present in spectra So<n (Fn) and

S^ (Fn) of resulting responses on amplitude an ) (t) and frequency x« (t) variations, relatively. At that, differences of spectral characteristics S^ (Fn) consists in absence of DC component and essentially less level

<n) l

of harmonic components in the 3X6 el of low (difference) frequencies than in the Sah (Fn) spectrum.

Calculations of autodyne response characteristics at other initial conditions of ASRR with PAM and FM functioning, show the following. It is found out that reduction of the feedback parameter CjFB causes decrease of signal distortion obtained from separate shining points on the target and he degree of its nonlinear interaction. In the case, when the strong inequality CjFB << 1 is satisfied, we can neglect at all by the nonlinearity of ASRR with PAM and FM. This condition is the most effectively achieved by decrease of the frequency deviation for instance, by appli-

cation of frequency-tuned high-Q cavity in AD [15].

3 Experimental Results

Experimental investigations of signal features of ASRR with PAM and FM were executed with 8mm-range AD in the structure of the radar sensor developed for occupation monitoring of railroad crossing [5]. The module is made on the base of the Guriri diode AA727A and the varicap 3A637A-6. The output emission power was 50 mW, the central frequency was 37.5 GHz, the frequency deviation was 150 MHz, the FM frequency was 10 kHz, the PAM frequency was 500 kHz. We used the horn antenna, with the pattern width 15x15 degrees. The functional diagram of the sensor is presented in Fig. 4.

s, while the second - at tpui = 100 x 10-9 s. At these duration values, the limited ranges Iijm of ASRR with PM action are accordingly: Ilim ^ = 7.5 m and I lim .2 = 15 m.

Then, to determine the feedback parameter CjFB value, the AD was switched to the continuous wave mode, and at modulation absence, measurements of the autodyne frequency deviation were performed with the help the spectrum analyzer E4407B and the frequency converter. To execute these measurements, the mentioned instruments were connected through a, directional coupler to the waveguide path between the AD output and the antenna,. At these measurements fulfillment, the corner reflectors were in turn exposed to a,lternate-tra,relational motion with respect to ASRR within the limits of several wavelengths. As a, results, the autodyne frequency deviation for the first reflector 2t x 2.4 x 106, while for the second -2t x 1.5 x 106. At that, calculated values of AD feedback parameters are relatively: CFB & 0.5 and CFB & 0.4

Experimental investigations of ASRR signals PAM and FM were carried out in the following sequence.

Spectral characteristics of autodyne signals Us of ASRR with PAM and FM obtained simultaneously from two reflectors in the antenna, emission field for cases when modulation pulse duration tpui = 50 x 10-9 s (a) and tpui = 100 x 10-9 sec (b), and also at introduction of the additional signal attenuation in 10 dB (c) and tpui = 100 x 10-9 sec.

Us

the processing block of ASRR with PAM and FM obtained at execution of the first and the second experiments relatively are presented in Figs. 5(a) and (b). The case of autodyne signal formation obtained clS ci result of reception of the first set of partial reflections corresponds to the first experiment. The case of

signal formation obtained clS 9. result of reception of first and right after the second set of partial reflections corresponds to the second experiment. In Fig. 5(c). the additional spectral characteristic is shown, which corresponds to the second case, but after introduction of additional attenuation of 10 dB into the waveguide path between AD and the antenna. As a result. AD feedback parameters had got the following values: CFB « 0.05 and CFB « 0.04, i.e., CFB, CFB << 1.

In the first case (see Fig. 5(a)), the main signal harmonics received from the corner reflectors are predominated on the spectral diagram. Nonlinear interaction between them is not practically observed. In the second case (see Fig. 5(b)), higher harmonic components and components of their nonlinear interaction take place. In the case of decrease of AD feedback parameters so that they become significantly less than 1, signal formation in the activity zone of two (and more) partial reflections from the target happens independently (linearly) as in SRR of homodyne type (see Fig. 5(c)).

From comparison of obtained characteristics in Figures 5(a) and (b) and characteristics presented relatively in Fig. 2(b) and (c), we see their qualitative agreement. From this, it follows that the experimental data obtained confirms an adequacy of above-developed mathematical model for analysis and calculation of signal and spectral characteristics of ASRR with PAM and FM.

4 Conclusion

Theoretical and experimental investigations performed in this paper show that at impact on ASRR with PAM and FM of the first ensemble of reflected emission from a set of shining points, which belong to the distributed radar target, the autodyne response spectrum represents the linear superposition of monochromic components obtained from separate points, as it is in system of homodyne type. The further impacts to AD of partial reflection ensembles cause the combination interaction of all spectral components between them. This is caused by autodyne frequency variations, which lead to nonlinearity of phase incursion of the reflected wave.

The manifestation degree of this nonlinearity is defined by value of total AD feedback parameter, which depends on both the reflected emission level and time of its propagation to reflectors and back. Besides, it follows from research performed that for reduction of autodyne signal nonlinear distortions and for widening of the dynamic range of radio pulse ASRR with FM, it is necessary to apply measures for frequency stabilization in oscillating modules, especially in mm-range. Solution of this problem is possible using the module, in which the frequency stabilization is achieved, for instance, with the help of high-Q cavity controlled in frequency [15].

Results obtained in this paper are evolved and added of results of earlier performed our researches in the part of FM and PAM account, on the case of AD interaction with reflected emission from the spatially-distributed target, which was not considered in [1]. '

Peculiarities of autodyne signals of radio pulse AD studied in the present paper for the first time were experimentally observed at testing of ASRR with PAM and FM, which was developed for monitoring of railroad crossing occupation [5]. The correct account of these features clt 3. choice of modulation parameters and signal processing of ASRR developed by us, provide essential improvement of a series of its parameters. Manufactured ASRR samples show the high reliability of functioning under conditions of high traffic intensity through non-guarding railroad crossing, when the serious growth of passive interference is observed.

Особенности сигналов от распределённых отражающих объектов автодинного радиолокатора ближнего действия с одновременной импульсной и линейной частотной модуляцией

Носков В. Я., Игнатков К. А., Чупахин А. П., Васильев А. С., Фатеев А. В., Смалъский С. М.

Разработана математическая модель для описания сигналов автодишюго радиолокатора малого радиуса действия (АРМРД) с одновременной импульсной модуляцией амплитуды (ИМА) и липейпой частотной модуляцией (ЧМ). Рассматриваются особенности формирования сигналов, полученных от распределенного объекта в виде ансамбля произвольного числа точечных отражателей. Выполнены расчеты сигналов предложенным методом шагов для случая двух точечных отражателей па объекте локации, расположенных па различных расстояниях от АРМРД. Установлены отличительные свойства сигналов, формируемых при приёме первого и последующих излучений, отражённых от объекта локации. Результаты экспериментальных исследований АРМРД с одновременной ИМА и линейной ЧМ получены при использовании генераторного модуля. выполненного па диоде Гаппа 8-миллиметрового диапазона.
