摘要: 在不改动宽带雷达系统校准通道硬件的前提下,该文提出一种校正宽带雷达系统传递函数误差及正交解调误差的新方法。该方法通过对通道误差特征的分析,结合宽带线性调频信号的时频关系,根据分裂脉冲方法以分离通道误差造成的镜频干扰和传递函数非理想,得到宽带雷达系统传递函数的完全表征,由此构建相应的雷达回波校正函数,实现接收回波的误差校正。针对有效带宽的实际雷达系统的通道误差校正实验,验证了该文方法的有效性,且与传统的方法相比,该文方法显现出适用性强的特点。Abstract: A novel method is developed to calibrate the non-ideal transfer function and I/Q imbalances in quadrature modulate/demodulate systems which occur frequently in wideband radar systems, without changing the hardware of the radar calibration system. Based on analyzing channel errors in radar systems and taking account of time-frequency relationship of chirp signal, split-pulse method called is adopted to separate image frequency component due to I/Q channel error. Then, the complete description of channel error is got and the calibration function is constructed which is used to correct the raw radar echo in frequency domain. The effectiveness of this method is verified by the experiment of channel error correction in wideband radar system with 500 MHz effective band width. Results show that the method proposed is characterized by high feasibility and performance.
