Multi-target ranging and velocity measurement technology based on microwave photonics
To address the issue of false targets in multi-target environments when using multi-chirp linear frequency modulated wave (LFMW) for ranging and velocity measurement, a method based on microwave photonics for multi-target ranging and velocity measurement is proposed. This method uses three frequency bands of LFMW to measure the target's distance and velocity, and it effectively eliminates false targets by leveraging the invariant features observed across these frequency bands. Additionally, a multi-target ranging and velocity measurement verification system based on microwave photonics has been designed and established. This system not only achieves the aforementioned functions but also integrates a signal processing platform based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) within its architecture. The experimental results show that for simulated echo signals from 10 test targets with the highest speed reaching 6 800 m/s, the system can achieve real-time motion parameter measurements, with maximum ranging and velocity errors of 0.58 m and 24 m/s,
