二、FMCW毫米波简介

0 概念

FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave),即调频连续波。FMCW技术和脉冲雷达技术是两种在高精度雷达测距中使用的技术。其基本原理为发射波为高频连续波,其频率随时间按照三角波规律变化。

1 基础知识

FMCW雷达的核心是一种叫做线性调频脉冲的信号,线性调频脉冲是频率随时间以线性的方式增长的正弦波,在下图中

信号以fc的正弦波开始,然后他的频率不断增大,chirp信号的起始频率为 fc,带宽为B,信号的持续时间为Tc,则频率变化率(斜率)为:S=B/Tc

上图是简单的雷达示意图,有单个TX天线和单个RX天线,雷达工作过程大致为:1处的合成器生成一个线性调频脉冲,TX将脉冲传播出去,当脉冲遇到物体时会反射回来,RX接收反射的调频脉冲,TX和RX信号混在一起,最终在4处生成一种叫做IF(中频)的信号。下面详细了解以下关键元件4(混频器)。

混频器有两个输入一个输出,如果向混频器的两个输入端口输入两个正弦波,那么混频器将输出有以下两条性质的正弦波:

性质1:输出正弦波的瞬时频率等于两个输入正弦波的瞬时频率差值;

性质2:输出正弦波的起始相位等于两个输入正弦波的起始相位差值。

如上图, 被物体反射后的信号可以简单的看做是发射信号的延时,用t(时间差值)来表示,t=2d/c,接收信号与发射信号混频后的输出信号频率恒定,假设IF的频率为f,那么f=S​t=S​2d/c (S为调频连续波的斜率),其中d为物体的距离,c 为光速。对混频后的信号做FFT变换,可以得到单峰值频谱图。从上图中可以看出,为了避免产生距离判别模糊,t需要满足τ<Tc ,因此可得出系统所能探测的最远距离与Tc 有关。
