  • 通过多频段相位变化与幅度粗估融合,提取可靠距离信息
  • 实验中误差中位数仅1.69厘米,较传统方法提升超40%
  • 适用于金属环境下的高速移动目标,可拓展至亚厘米级精度

亚毫米级精确的无标签超宽带(UWB)雷达距离估计对自动驾驶车辆、机器人和环境表征至关重要。现有基于标签的相位测距技术虽能实现亚波长精度,但不适用于被动雷达场景——此类场景反射信号弱、多径混合且缺乏已知的飞行时间(ToF)直达路径参考。本文首次证明在全被动UWB雷达中可有效利用相位信息。提出一种信号处理框架,结合粗粒度幅度估计与多频段高分辨率相位变化,通过视距分量校准硬件引起的相位漂移,并利用多通道频率多样性消除周期性相位模糊,增强对特定频率衰减(如菲涅耳区)的鲁棒性。实验在搭载双基地DW3000 UWB雷达的机器人上进行,测试环境为真实的金属工业场景。结果表明,本方法在高速条件下仍保持厘米级精度,中位误差达1.69厘米,显著优于依赖幅度信息的现有约10厘米精度方案。进一步验证,多通道融合通过利用通道间非相关衰减,使误差降低超过40%,并为迈向亚厘米级精度提供了可行路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate, tag-free distance estimation with ultrawideband (UWB) radar is essential for applications such as autonomous guided vehicles, robotics, and environment characterization. For tag-based localization systems, phase-based UWB signal processing techniques have demonstrated sub-wavelength ranging precision, but these approaches are not applicable for passive (tagless) radar setups with weak reflections, mixed multipath conditions, and the absence of a known time-of-flight (ToF) first-path reference. This paper demonstrates for the first time that phase information can be effectively exploited in a fully passive UWB radar setting. We introduce a signal processing framework that extracts reliable distance information by combining coarse amplitude-based estimates with high-resolution phase changes across multiple frequency channels. By referencing phase measurements with the line-of-sight component, the method compensates for hardware-induced phase drift, while the use of multichannel frequency diversity enables disambiguation of periodic phase information and improves robustness against frequencyspecific channel degradation such as Fresnel zones. The proposed approach is validated on a robot equipped with a bistatic UWB radar using DW3000 devices and evaluated in a realistic metallic industrial environment. Experimental results show that our work consistently achieves centimeter-level accuracy even at high speeds, with a median error of 1.69 cm, significantly outperforming existing ~10cm accuracy UWB radar approaches relying only on amplitude-information. We further show how multi-channel fusion exploits uncorrelated channel degradation to reduce the error by more than 40% compared to single-channel operation, and outline how phase modeling and fusion can be pushed toward sub-centimeter accuracy.
