摘要:

提出了一种应用于调频连续波 (FMCW) 雷达处理系统的全维度数据压缩方法及其硬件实现方案. 随着FMCW雷达在测量精度与分辨能力方面的需求不断提升, 系统所产生的数据量急剧增长, 对数据传输带宽与存储资源造成了显著压力. 为应对这一挑战, 本文设计了一种基于k阶指数哥伦布编码 (EGE) 的雷达数据压缩算法. 该算法首先利用指数哥伦布编码对原始数据进行预压缩, 以降低数据的统计冗余; 随后采用自适应有效位截断策略, 对预压缩后的数据进一步处理, 实现位宽对齐与压缩优化. 该方法适用于FMCW雷达系统中的全维度数据格式, 具备良好的适应性与较高的压缩效率, 能够满足实时数据处理的要求, 并且结构简单、易于硬件实现. 实验结果表明, 所提出的压缩算法可实现存储消耗降低50%以上, 在基本保持数据质量的前提下, 显著提升了系统的数据处理效率与传输能力, 具有良好的工程应用前景.

Abstract:

This study proposes a full-dimension data-compression method and its corresponding hardware-implementation scheme for frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar processing systems. In accommodating the continuously increasing demand for higher measurement accuracies and resolutions in FMCW radar, the processing system generates a rapidly increasing data volume, thus placing a significant burden on the data-transmission bandwidth and storage resources. Hence, a compression algorithm based on k-th-order exponential Golomb encoding (EGE) is introduced. The algorithm first performs data pre-compression using exponential Golomb encoding to reduce statistical redundancy and then optimizes the compressed output through adaptive significant-bit truncation, thus achieving efficient bit-width alignment. Suitable for full-dimension data formats in FMCW radar systems, the method demonstrates strong adaptability, high compression efficiency, and the ability to support real-time data processing with a hardware-friendly architecture. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm reduces storage consumption by more than 50% while preserving data quality, thus significantly enhancing both processing efficiency and data-transmission capacity while demonstrating significant potential for practical engineering applications.
