It is often heard that fighters are locked by radar in news and television. As long as a fighter is locked by a radar, more radar will lock the fighter according to the information provided by the locked radar, which means once it is found, it is basically impossible to run away. What kind of experience would it be if radar technology were applied to security area to lock ground targets? Will it not be able to run away after locking? What kind of technology is this?
Principles of radar detection target
● Principle of radar range measurement
The signal transmitted by the radar transmitting antenna passes through space to the target point, and then reflects from the target to the radar receiving antenna. Its propagation time delay
，
is distance of the target，
is the propagation speed of electromagnetic wave in space.After mixing the received signal, a single frequency signal can be obtained. Its frequency expression is
，
is bandwidth，
is frequency modulation period，Time delay( 
) can be obtained by estimating the frequency of the received signal.Finally, the detection target distance can be obtained.
● Principle of radar velocity measurement
The target has a certain speed, which caused Doppler frequency.Its expression is 
，which
is the target relative to the radar radial velocity，
is electromagnetic wave wavelength. The duration
of each pulse is relatively small, and the distance between adjacent pulses can be regarded as unchanged. Because of the existence of the target Doppler frequency, the phase of the target echo frequency received at each time has a certain change. According to the change rules, the Doppler frequency of the target can be measured, which obtain the velocity of the target. the sketch map of the 4 adjacent target echoes is given in the following figure.
● Principle of radar angle measurement
Compared with the target echo signal received by element 1 in the array antenna, for a certain distant (far field) target, the signal of element 2 propagates a longer distance. Since the distance is much smaller than the target distance, it is only cause the phase difference between the received signals of the two elements.
The path length of the received signal in element 2 is
，which
is the target signal.The propagation time required for this length is
，For narrow-band signals(The transmitting signal bandwidth is much smaller than the signal frequency), the time delay of the same frequency corresponds to the difference of phase. The angle of the target
can be measured by solving the phase difference between the two elements.
How does NSR300WVF lock multiple targets simultaneously?
Multiple targets will be detected at the detection end, and the distribution of targets may occur randomly, with different distances. There are targets with different speeds at the same distance (such as T7 and T8) and targets with different angles at the same distance (such as T4 and T5). meanwhile, false targets may appear at the detection end. It is a single frame detection, there are some differences between the true value and detection quantity of the distance, speed and angle of the target, so the real information of the target can not be directly taken as a single detection value.
For a single detection of the target information, it is necessary to match from the point to the trajectory, the detection point 'belongs' to the real target. This process need use the current information and previous track information. As shown in the following figure, the blue point is the target moves trajectory. Assuming that two dots N1 and N2 are currently detected, N1 can be determined as the current detection point of the trajectory by certain matching rules.
There are some errors in the detection, so it is necessary to smoothly filter the detected target information to reflect the real trajectory of the target, and it needs to be further judged whether the detected target is the real target or not. Therefore, the number of targets detected will be far greater than the target output.
After signal processing such as detection, matching and filtering, the real target trajectory can be displayed on the user interface. If there are multiple targets in the radar monitoring area, the ability to distinguish different targets can be achieved for the difference of distance, velocity or angle information between the targets, and radar can monitor any distinguishable target in the whole area theoretically. Due to the limitation of system parameter design and hardware calculation time, the maximum target tracking number of radar will be reduced.
Components of Nanoradar NSR300WVF system：
● Radar：24GHz-ISM-Band radar of FMCW modulation mode.
