当前,自动驾驶、安防监控、空间碎片管理、“低慢小”目标识别等雷达新应用以及密集机群、高超音速武器、隐身武器等探测新需求对雷达系统的探测能力提出了越来越高的要求。充分利用带宽资源提升雷达探测能力成为重要趋势。微波光子学有望利用光子技术突破传统雷达的带宽瓶颈,已成为世界各国的研究热点[1-12]。然而,由于光子技术的频域“宽开”特性,宽带微波光子雷达易被外界电磁信号干扰,难以在复杂地理和电磁环境下对多样化目标进行高速探测与识别。同时,使用场景中往往已有大量的无线应用,难以为高分辨率探测提供连续的宽带空闲频谱。

一个可行的解决途径是认知雷达技术[13],通过感知雷达周边的电磁频谱环境来发现机会频谱,从而重构其发射波形,保障雷达能在复杂电磁环境下正常工作。实际上,世界各国都极为重视认知雷达的研究。美国DARPA在雷达信号的智能处理和系统资源的智能配置方面进行了系统化投入,典型的项目包括基于知识的雷达(KB-Radar)、知识辅助的传感器信号处理与专家推理(KASSPER)、知识辅助雷达(KA-Radar)、自治智能雷达系统(AIRS)、雷达与通信共享频谱(SSPARC)以及竞争环境下目标识别与适应(TRACE)等[14-22]。中国电科14所、中国电科38所、西安电子科技大学、成都电子科技大学、空军工程大学、国防科技大学、哈尔滨工业大学、清华大学、东南大学、天津大学、太原理工大学等单位对认知雷达的波形设计、目标识别追踪算法、MIMO认知雷达的阵源选择以及雷达通信网络频谱资源分配等内容展开了研究[23-39]。受限于电学雷达有限的带宽,这些工作的研究对象大都是相对窄带的雷达,认知的对象也较为多样,一类为对电磁环境的认知,包括频谱、波形以及信杂比等,另一类为对探测目标的认知,包括目标数量、运动状态以及散射截面等。此前,我们提出了宽带微波光子认知无线电技术,并以高分辨率成像雷达为应用对象进行了初步验证[40-41],但该雷达主要还是利用连续的宽带频谱进行成像。

本文将探讨一种不依赖于宽带连续频谱的高分辨率微波光子认知雷达技术。它基于微波光子学在宽带实时频谱侦测与可重构任意波形产生两方面的优势,融合多个机会频带实现高分辨率探测,可有效提升雷达的探测能力、生存能力和环境适应能力,有望为未来智能化装备提供清晰、可靠、智能的全天候探测手段。

1 微波光子认知雷达的基本原理

图1为本文所提出的微波光子认知雷达的系统架构,主要由智能认知决策模块和微波光子认知探测平台两部分组成。微波光子认知探测平台又由微波光子观察机、执行机,以及可编程控制系统组成。各部分的功能如下:微波光子观察机基于实时频谱感知模块构建,主要对复杂电磁频谱环境进行高速感知;智能认知决策模块对输入的信息进行识别和判断,并结合先验知识,做出决策;可编程控制系统用于控制微波光子执行机和观察机;微波光子执行机,主要包括微波光子波形产生模块和微波光子信号处理模块,根据外部指令执行波形产生和回波处理等操作。需要指出的是,与图1架构相关的微波光子宽带实时频谱侦测、可重构波形产生、微波光子成像处理等技术已取得长足的进步,完全可以支撑认知微波光子雷达系统的构建。

图1 微波光子认知雷达的系统架构

系统的运行过程如下:微波光子观察机首先对雷达周边的频谱环境进行感知,将信息送至智能认知决策模块进行识别和判断;智能认知决策模块结合频谱时空分布统计数据、动态目标散射特性等先验知识,找出可用的机会频谱,做出采用哪些稀疏频带进行探测的决策;该决策反馈给微波光子认知探测平台,其中可编程控制系统根据决策控制微波光子执行机和观察机进行操作,微波光子波形产生模块根据控制命令产生满足频谱分布要求的宽带雷达波形,辐射到自由空间,而微波光子信号处理模块根据发射波形对回波信号进行实时处理,融合多个机会频带的信息实现高分辨率目标探测或成像。基于上述过程循环反复,使微波光子观察机、智能认知决策模块、可编程控制系统和微波光子执行机形成一个全闭环的自适应运行系统,实现自判断和自适应的抗干扰探测。

上述微波光子认知雷达系统充分发挥了光子技术的宽带承载、实时处理以及灵活可重构的优势,有望解决目前认知雷达硬件平台的宽带自适应波形产生、实时宽带频谱感知以及实时处理等关键难题,让雷达系统拥有实现宽带认知的软硬件支撑平台。

2 微波光子电磁频谱环境实时感知

近年来,微波光子频谱感知技术得到了广泛的研究,典型的方法包括光子辅助的扫频接收机[42-53]、微波光子信道化接收机[54-78]和光子傅里叶变换接收机[79-87]等。

光扫频接收机与电学扫频接收机的工作原理类似,是一种有效的频谱感知技术。它可通过扫描光本振的频率[42-46],光载射频信号的频率[47-50],或微波光子滤波器的频率响应[51-53]来实现。相比其他微波光子频谱感知技术,光扫频接收方法有效减少了所需的硬件资源,拓展了工作带宽,但其扫描接收的方式会导致较长的响应时间。

信道化的基本功能是将接收到的宽带信号切割成多个并行的窄带信号,从而可使用低速模数转换器(ADC)和数字信号处理器(DSP)进行处理[88]。微波光子信道化方案可以分为三大类。一类是将射频信号调制在一个光载波上,通过一组光滤波器划分为多路[54-56];第二类是将射频信号调制到一个光频梳(一组频率间隔相同的光载波)上,然后利用一个自由频谱范围与梳齿间隔略有偏差的梳状光滤波器对射频信号中的不同频率分量进行选取和分离[57-67]。这两类方法对光滤波器的顶部平坦度、带宽、中心频率的精确性和边缘陡峭性提出了极高的要求,使得信道间串扰、信道带宽和信道一致性等难以提升。

第三种方法是基于一对相干光频梳实现,首先将射频信号调制到一个光频梳(称为信号梳)上,亦即将信号复制到光域不同的波长上,然后与另一组梳齿间隔有略微差异的光频梳(称为本振梳)合波。接着用波分解复用器将不同波长对分离到不同通道,拍频(即光电探测)、滤波后获得分割好的信号。该方法利用两组光梳的梳齿间隔差异,将不同中心频率处的信号分量下变频到同一中心频率。由于中心频率固定的电学滤波器性能较高且较易实现,该方案有望获得优异的性能。但由于光电探测输出的电流正比于输入光场的平方,处于光本振梳齿两侧的频谱分量将同时下变频并在频域中混叠[68],无法用滤波器滤除,从而产生镜频干扰。解决此问题的方法是引入同相/正交(I/Q)解调和电域数字信号处理[69-71],或使用微波光子镜频抑制混频结构[72]在光模拟域实现带内干扰的抑制[73-76]。通过引入基于Hartley结构的微波光子镜频抑制混频,南京航空航天大学实现了对瞬时带宽为5 GHz的射频信号的信道化接收,信道数为5,信道间串扰抑制比优于25 dB[74]。相比于基于数字I/Q处理的解调方法,基于光子模拟域镜频抑制混频的解调方法可降低对电计算资源的需求,提高瞬时处理带宽和处理速度。

与相干光信道化相关的另一个问题是,需要大量的高质量光梳齿才能实现高分辨率的宽带频谱感知。南京航空航天大学通过引入基于平衡Hartley架构的微波光子双输出镜频抑制混频器,使每个光本振梳齿可输出两个信道,将所需梳齿数减少了一半[75];通过引入偏分复用技术,将梳齿数的要求再降低了一半[76];进一步结合信号光频梳的双边带调制,还可将梳齿数的要求降低到 1/8[77]。值得指出的是,基于平衡Hartley架构的微波光子镜频抑制混频器[78]可同时实现对镜频干扰和多种混频杂散的抑制,这对于消除多倍频程超宽带信道化接收中的非线性串扰尤其重要。当然,基于微波光子信道化的频谱感知方法仍然需要电ADC采样量化和电DSP处理,难以实现快速(近实时)的频谱感知。

另外一类利用光子技术进行频谱感知的方法是光子傅里叶变换。其基本原理是利用时-频之间的映射关系,将输入射频信号的频谱直接映射到时域,从而可以在不使用电DSP的情况下直接在时域得到输入信号的频谱信息。一种实现光子傅里叶变换的直接方法是应用二阶光学色散介质的时-频映射关系[79-82]。在空间域,人们可以采用夫琅禾费衍射实现输入光束的傅里叶变换;基于时空对应原理,光学二阶色散对应于空间中的衍射效应[79],因而光脉冲经过二阶色散介质后所得到时域波形与输入光脉冲的频谱形状一致[80-81]。但该方案对输入信号的脉宽与色散介质的色散量均有较高要求,需要满足远场条件,且变换精度不高,通常在GHz量级。为了提高频率分辨率,北京邮电大学提出并验证了带宽放大方法[82]。另一种典型的光子傅里叶变换方法是时间透镜。该方法同样基于时空对应的原理,类似于空间透镜成像系统。在空间光学系统中,当透镜将位于远场的衍射图样汇聚到其方焦平面处,即可获得透射光场的空间傅里叶变换。类似地,时间透镜是在时域上给光信号施加二次相位调制,级联光学色散即可完成“成像”,实现时频域的傅里叶变换。该类方案不需要满足远场条件。但是时间透镜通常利用相位调制、交叉相位调制或者四波混频等非线性效应实现,时间窗口十分有限,分辨率难以提升。

光子傅里叶变换也可以通过光子时间卷积系统[83]实现。超短光脉冲经过时域拉伸之后,注入电光调制器,电光调制器将待变换的射频信号加载到拉伸后的光脉冲上,然后经过时域压缩后注入光电探测器,得到的电流就是所调制射频信号的傅里叶变换结果。时域拉伸和时域压缩可由具有相反色散值的色散介质实现。为了降低采样输出波形对ADC的要求,可引入时域放大技术[84]和异步光学采样技术[85]。为了解决分辨率低的难题,加拿大Jose Azana教授等提出了基于循环移频的实时傅里叶变换方案[86],将入射信号在一个光学环路中移频和延时,并将不同循环次数的结果叠加,即可得到与傅里叶变换定义等效的输出。实验实现了分辨率为30 kHz的实时傅里叶变换,但该系统的瞬时带宽受限,只有数十MHz。南京航空航天大学理论分析了色散均衡和高阶色散对光子时间卷积系统傅里叶变换结果的影响,并据此提出了基于双向光纤布拉格光栅的光子傅里叶变换方法[87]。图2为基于该方法形成的光子傅里叶变换样机、测试界面和测试结果,测试范围为 1~70 GHz,测量分辨率达到±5 MHz。对于输入的7~14 GHz线性调频信号,基于光子傅里叶变换的测试结果如图2(b)所示,测得的信号频谱为7.00~14.05 GHz,其幅度不平坦可通过校准去除。作为对比,用电频谱仪(R&SFSV40, 10 Hz~40 GHz)测试得到的频谱图如图2(c)所示,两者具有良好的吻合度。

3 微波光子捷变频宽带波形产生

微波光子捷变频宽带波形产生方法主要包括频谱整形及频时映射法、半导体激光器外注入法,以及光数模转换法(DAC)等。

频谱整形及频时映射法首先利用光域频谱整形器调控超短光脉冲的频域分布,然后利用色散介质将频域形状映射到时域形状。通过改变频谱整形器的响应即可实现捷变频波形的产生[89]。可重构光域频谱整形器可由可编程空间光处理器[90-92]、梳状滤波器[93-94]、布拉格光栅[95-96],以及可编程级联微环谐振腔[97]等实现。这类方法所产生的微波信号一般带宽较大,可达数十GHz,但是由于色散介质的色散值十分有限,所产生微波信号的时宽通常只有几十ns。此外,光谱整形器的分辨率通常大于数GHz,导致时域频谱整形及频时映射法的波形质量不高。

半导体激光器外注入法是通过控制注入到半导体激光器的光强度,调控激光器腔内的等效折射率,进而改变激光器的等效腔长和激射波长[98-100],经过光电探测之后,激光器激射波长与外注入激光波长拍频产生微波信号。通过低速电信号控制光注入强度的时域分布,即可实现输出微波信号频率的任意变化。此前,人们已经通过该方法实现了线性调频连续波[101-102]、Costas跳频序列[103]、三角波[104-105]等波形的产生,所产生波形的中心频率、带宽、时间宽度、重复频率和占空比等均可重构,例如:南京航空航天大学基于该方法产生了频率覆盖范围10~67 GHz,瞬时带宽12 GHz,时间带宽积120 000的线性调频信号[106]

光数模转换法的基本原理与电子技术的DAC类似,但由于光脉冲可提供超高的时钟速度和更低的时间抖动,因此光DAC可实现更大的带宽和更高的分辨率。首先根据所要产生的微波信号设计出对应的数字序列,然后将该数字序列注入到光DAC链路中进行加权求和。光DAC的实现方式主要包括三种:并行权重DAC[107-114]、串行权重DAC[115-116]及基于脉冲形状识别的DAC[117]。南京航空航天大学通过一个4 bit的光DAC实现了三角波、方波、锯齿波以及抛物线形的微波信号的产生[118],清华大学基于光DAC产生了W波段8 GHz带宽的线性调频信号[119]。但是目前光DAC有效位数仍然较小,因此产生信号的质量仍有较大提升空间。

为了实现认知雷达的并行工作能力,南京航空航天大学提出了一种基于光频梳的可重构波形产生方法[120-121],可实现波形时宽、带宽以及中心频率的灵活调节,也可实现多频段信号的产生。图3为该波形产生方法的结构框图和部分实验结果[120]。双光频梳模块产生两组相位相关但间隔不同的光频梳,线性调频中频信号调制到信号光梳上,并和本振光梳送入可编程光处理器中进行通道分割,每一个通道包含一根调制后的信号光梳和一根本振光梳,光电转换后即可将低频信号上变频为不同中心频率的射频信号。对相应通道的光信号进行适当延时并合波,还可以实现步进频信号,以及时宽带宽积提升N×N倍的线性调频信号的产生。基于该方案,实验获得了中心频率分别为11,13,15,17和19 GHz,带宽为2 GHz的步进频线性调频信号,其时频图如图3(b)所示。图3(c)给出了通过光域拼接产生的带宽10 GHz、时宽5 μs、中心频率25 GHz的线性调频信号的时频图。

4 微波光子非连续频带高分辨率成像

提升成像的分辨率需要增加雷达发射信号的带宽,但这显然与当前日益紧张的频谱资源产生矛盾。如果综合使用分布在不同频带上的、未被占用的、离散的频谱获得等效的宽带探测,就有希望使雷达在不受干扰的情况下实现高分辨的成像。这就引出一个新的问题——如何对非连续频带的信号进行处理以获得高分辨率成像。

美国林肯实验室早在1997年就开展了相关技术的研究,并公开发表了一种使用稀疏子带对目标进行成像的方法[122]。该方法考虑了由时间同步、天线位置等因素造成的不同频带上的不相干问题,通过使用全极点模型对不同频段的回波信号进行相干处理,然后使用带宽外推及插值的办法获得全频段的融合信号,再通过脉冲压缩处理实现高分辨率的探测。在实验中,林肯实验室利用两个带宽均为1 GHz(13~14 GHz,16~18 GHz)的频段数据,融合得到了带宽为6 GHz(12~18 GHz)的探测结果,如图4所示[122]。图4(a)为待探测的目标,图4(b)~(d)分别为低频段、高频段和融合后的探测结果。该工作首次展示了使用非连续频带信号实现高分辨率探测成像的可能。基于全极点模型,研究人员进行了广泛的研究,也取得了很多成果[123-125]。但是,全极点模型在实际应用中并非完全适用,比如其阶数、极点的数目难以准确估计,从而造成较大探测误差。

图4 林肯实验室非连续频带成像结果

2006年,Donoho正式提出了压缩感知的概念[126]。随后,Baraniuk提出将压缩感知应用于雷达中,为利用非连续频带信号实现高分辨成像提供了新思路:基于雷达成像的稀疏性特点,使用压缩感知实现对非连续频带信号的处理,获得高分辨率成像[127]。在实际应用中,可以使用步进频或从中随机选取一些频点作为探测信号,再使用压缩感知理论恢复全频带的数据。图5(a)为使用了全部采样结果恢复出的反射投影结果,而图5(b)是使用了部分采样结果再通过压缩感知恢复出的结果,可以看到图5(b)的旁瓣更低,分辨率更高[128]

图5 传统全部采样算法与压缩感知算法成像对比

国内外对非连续频带信号处理的研究使雷达实现超高分辨率成像成为可能,但是受限于电子技术的带宽瓶颈,即便使用非连续频带的信号,传统电子雷达也面临巨大挑战。单一电子雷达系统难以覆盖多个频段,即便采用频段融合、压缩感知等技术,也难以实现等效超大带宽的探测;而如果采用工作在不同频带的多个电子雷达系统探测,不仅使系统复杂、成本高昂,还需对各子系统进行时钟同步、相干处理等,增加数据运算量,难以实现快速的成像探测。将微波光子技术应用于非连续频带的雷达探测,有望充分使用空闲频谱资源,实现超高分辨率的探测。2018年,Bogoni团队提出了面向微波光子多波段相干稀疏雷达的自回归融合算法[129]。得益于微波光子雷达产生的多波段信号之间的相干性,该算法与林肯实验室提出的融合算法相比,不再需要相干处理,从而降低了计算复杂度。

2019年,清华大学提出并演示了一种基于微波光子技术的双波段雷达[130]。该雷达采用光数模转换技术,可以产生大带宽的双波段相干线性调频信号,因此,在信号处理时避免了大量的相位补偿计算。在实验中,雷达使用S波段带宽为1.5 GHz(2~3.5 GHz)和X波段带宽为3 GHz(8.5~11.5 GHz)的信号,经过融合处理得到1.6 cm的一维距离分辨率,近似于使用带宽为9.5 GHz(2~11.5 GHz)得到的结果。

南京航空航天大学于2020年提出了一种基于步进频信号的微波光子成像雷达,将Ka及以下频段的雷达距离分辨率提升至亚厘米级(约8.5 mm)[131]。该雷达可发射与处理高达18.2 GHz带宽的步进频信号,且经过简单升级还可使用更高频率和更大带宽的步进频信号进行探测。使用该雷达对如图6(a)所示的目标进行探测,分别得到图6(b)~(d)的雷达图像。图6(b)是使用频率无间隔的步进频信号并使用合成宽带方法处理的结果,但这么大的连续频谱易受干扰,图6(c)为模拟干扰情况下得到的图像。在这种情况下,我们采用频谱认知结果,剔除干扰频段,仅使用不连续的机会频带进行探测再进行融合处理,得到了图6(d)所示的图像,可以看到目标的轮廓得到了较好的恢复。

Abstract:Due to the broadband nature, microwave photonic radars are vulnerable to external electromagnetic interference and therefore difficult to work in complex electromagnetic environment.This paper proposes a novel microwave photonic cognitive radar that can achieve high-resolution detection using multiple opportunistic sparse frequency bands.Key techniques for the microwave photonic cognitive radar, such as real-time and broadband microwave photonic spectrum monitoring, reconfigurable waveform generation, and sparse imaging are discussed.The feasibility of the radar architecture is demonstrated.The microwave photonic cognitive radar takes benefits of the broadband operation, real-time processing capability and dynamic reconfigurability of photonics, and can realize high resolution detection and good environment adaptiveness simultaneously.It will provide a clear, reliable, intelligent and all-weather target detection method for automatic drive, security monitoring, space debris management and so on.

Key words:sparse imaging; cognitive radar; spectrum monitoring; microwave photonic radars
