一、毫米波雷达基础原理

1.1 毫米波雷达概述

毫米波雷达工作在30-300GHz频段,波长为1-10mm。相比其他传感器,具有以下优势:

• 全天候工作能力: 不受光照、雨雾影响
• 穿透能力强: 可穿透塑料、衣物等非金属材料
• 测距精度高: 典型精度可达厘米级
• 探测距离远: 可达200米以上
• 多目标同时跟踪: 支持并行处理多个目标

1.2 FMCW雷达工作原理

调频连续波(FMCW)雷达是无人系统中最常用的毫米波雷达类型。

基本原理:
发射线性调频的连续波信号,接收目标反射回波,通过混频得到中频信号,其频率与目标距离成正比。

---

二、距离测算的数学模型

2.1 基本测距公式

对于FMCW雷达,距离R的计算公式为:

R = (c × f_beat × T_chirp) / (2 × B)

参数说明:

• R: 目标距离(m)
• c: 光速 3×10⁸ m/s
• f_beat: 拍频(差频),单位Hz
• T_chirp: 调频周期,单位s
• B: 调频带宽,单位Hz

推导过程:

信号往返时间: τ = 2R / c

拍频: f_beat = (B / T_chirp) × τ = (B / T_chirp) × (2R / c)

因此: R = (c × f_beat × T_chirp) / (2 × B)

2.2 距离分辨率

距离分辨率决定了雷达区分两个相邻目标的能力:

ΔR = c / (2 × B)

示例计算:

• 带宽B = 4GHz
• ΔR = 3×10⁸ / (2 × 4×10⁹) = 0.0375m = 3.75cm

2.3 速度测量(多普勒效应)

目标相对速度v的计算公式:

v = (λ × f_d) / 2 = (c × f_d) / (2 × f_c)

参数说明:

• v: 径向速度(m/s),正值表示接近,负值表示远离
• λ: 波长(m)
• f_d: 多普勒频移(Hz)
• f_c: 载波频率(Hz)

2.4 最大不模糊速度

v_max = λ / (4 × T_chirp) = c / (4 × f_c × T_chirp)

---

三、信号处理流程

3.1 距离-FFT处理

步骤1: ADC采样

• 对每个chirp的IF信号进行ADC采样
• 采样点数N_ADC,通常为256、512或1024

步骤2: 距离FFT

Range_FFT = FFT(ADC_samples)
Range_Profile = |Range_FFT|

距离bin对应的实际距离:

R_bin = (c × f_s × bin_index) / (2 × B × N_ADC)

其中f_s为采样率

3.2 多普勒-FFT处理(速度估计)

对多个chirp的同一距离bin进行FFT:

Doppler_FFT = FFT([chirp1_bin, chirp2_bin, ..., chirpN_bin])
Velocity_Profile = |Doppler_FFT|

3.3 CFAR检测算法

恒虚警率(CFAR)检测用于在噪声背景中检测目标:

CA-CFAR公式:

Threshold = α × (1/N) × Σ(guard cells周围的training cells功率)

如果目标cell功率 > Threshold,则判定为目标存在。

---

四、动态避障策略

4.1 威胁评估模型

定义威胁指数TI(Threat Index):

TI = w1 × (1/R) + w2 × (v_rel/v_max) + w3 × A_collision

参数说明:

• w1, w2, w3: 权重系数,满足 w1+w2+w3=1
• R: 当前距离
• v_rel: 相对速度(负值表示碰撞趋势)
• A_collision: 碰撞区域系数(角度相关)

4.2 碰撞时间(TTC)计算

TTC = R / |v_rel|  (当v_rel < 0时)

决策规则:

• TTC < 1s: 紧急制动
• 1s ≤ TTC < 3s: 减速避让
• TTC ≥ 3s: 正常行驶

4.3 路径规划策略

人工势场法:

引力势场(目标点):

U_att = (1/2) × k_att × ρ²(q, q_goal)

斥力势场(障碍物):

U_rep = (1/2) × k_rep × (1/ρ(q,obs) - 1/ρ₀)²  (当ρ < ρ₀时)

合力:

F = -∇(U_att + U_rep)

七、性能优化与实际应用建议

7.1 实时性优化

1. FFT加速

• 使用FFTW库或cuFFT(GPU加速)
• 采用基2 FFT算法,样本数选择2的幂次

2. 并行处理

from multiprocessing import Pooldef parallel_cfar(range_doppler_map, num_cores=4):# 将数据分块chunks = np.array_split(range_doppler_map, num_cores, axis=0)# 并行处理with Pool(num_cores) as pool:results = pool.map(ca_cfar_2d, chunks)return np.vstack(results)

3. 目标跟踪(卡尔曼滤波)

class KalmanTracker:def __init__(self):self.state = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0])  # [x, vx, y, vy]self.P = np.eye(4) * 1000  # 协方差矩阵def predict(self, dt):F = np.array([[1, dt, 0, 0],[0, 1, 0, 0],[0, 0, 1, dt],[0, 0, 0, 1]])self.state = F @ self.stateself.P = F @ self.P @ F.T + Q  # Q是过程噪声def update(self, measurement):H = np.array([[1, 0, 0, 0],[0, 0, 1, 0]])y = measurement - H @ self.stateS = H @ self.P @ H.T + R  # R是测量噪声K = self.P @ H.T @ np.linalg.inv(S)self.state = self.state + K @ yself.P = (np.eye(4) - K @ H) @ self.P

7.2 多传感器融合

结合毫米波雷达、摄像头、激光雷达:

class SensorFusion:def __init__(self):self.radar_weight = 0.5self.camera_weight = 0.3self.lidar_weight = 0.2def fuse_detections(self, radar_targets, camera_targets, lidar_targets):fused_targets = []# 数据关联(匈牙利算法)# 加权融合# 置信度评估return fused_targets

7.3 实际部署注意事项

1. 标定: 雷达安装位置、角度标定
2. 干扰抑制: 多雷达互干扰抑制,TDMA或FDMA
3. 环境适应: 不同天气、路面条件的鲁棒性
4. 安全冗余: 失效检测与备份策略
