摘要:
A method and apparatus for determining an altitude for a radar fuze. The method includes the steps of receiving a return signal and transmitting a transmitted signal. The return signal and the transmitted signal are mixed and a mixed signal representing an altitude is responsively generated therefrom. The mixed signal is amplified to generate an amplified signal. The amplified signal is filtered to generate a filtered signal which is envelope detected to provide a detected signal responsive to the filtered signal. The detected signal is integrated responsively to the detected signal. The integrated signal level is compared against a track threshold reference signal and a track/no-track comparator signal is provided responsively to the integrated signal level and the track threshold reference signal. System timing is controlled by generating a plurality of control signals responsive to the track/no-track comparator signal and proportional to an altitude. A modulation signal responsive to the plurality of control signals is provided wherein the modulation signal is representative of an altimeter range as determined by the plurality of control signals. The transmitted signal is generated responsively to the modulation signal.

A FM-CW radar distance measuring apparatus, comprising a feedback loop having a high-frequency signal generator, a mixer device producing a beat signal between the transmitted wave and the received wave, a frequency discriminator, an integrator and a modulator which produces a sawtooth voltage for controlling the generator. The duration of the sawtooth is directly proportional to the distance to be measured. To improve the linearity of the signal to be transmitted a second (digital) feedback loop is provided, connected between the discriminator output and the modulator input and comprising the cascade arrangement of a threshold device, an adder, a store (and a digital-to-analog) converter. A distribution element connects the modulator to the store.

A dual-frequency CW processing unit (12) calculates an observation-point orientation of an observation point. An FMCW processing unit (11) calculates at least a power spectrum of a beat signal, which has been generated based on radar waves that have come from the calculated observation-point orientation, in terms of an up-modulation time interval and a down-modulation time interval (termed orientation power spectrum hereinafter). The FMCW processing unit (11) shifts the orientation power spectra of the up- and down-modulation time intervals to positive and negative directions, respectively, by an amount corresponding to a Doppler shift frequency. The FMCW processing unit (11) calculates a differential power spectrum by differentiating the orientation power spectra of the shifted up- and down-modulation time intervals, and detects a peak frequency where intensity is maximum.

A radar system includes a radar transceiver device, which includes a transmitter front end circuit for transmitting a chirp signal towards an object. The radar transceiver device includes a receiver front end circuit for receiving the reflected chirp signal from the object. The radar transceiver device includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to generate a transmitted chirp signal. The radar transceiver device includes a mixer configured to generate four intermediate frequency output signals having different phases. The radar system includes a controller device, which includes a processor, and a memory for storing the intermediate frequency output signals and instructions for executing in the processor. The instructions cause the processor to generate a complex Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) result by performing a FFT of the intermediate frequency output signals while using zero-padding. The instructions cause the processor to determine, using interpolation, a maximum amplitude in the FFT result and identifying the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude. The instructions cause the processor to calculate a distance to the object using the determined frequency.

In an FM-CW radar system, a frequency modulating wave output from said modulating signal generator has a frequency variation skew with respect to a time axis (modulation skew), and the radar system includes a means for varying the modulation skew by controlling the modulation frequency amplitude or modulation period of the modulating signal. The radar system further includes a means for discriminating a signal component varying in response to the variation of the modulation skew, thereby discriminating a signal related to a target object from other signals. In the case of an FM-CW radar system that performs transmission and/or reception by time division ON-OFF control, the radar system includes a means for discriminating a signal which, when the frequency used to perform the ON-OFF control is varied, varies in response to the variation of the frequency, thereby discriminating a signal related to a target object from other signals.
