摘要: |
传统相控阵天线系统为实现多波束,在重量、体积、功耗等方面会有明显的增加,系统的基
本可靠性也显著降低。基于软件无线电思想,利用超外差结构实现宽带信号变频,并对瞬时
带宽内的信号同时进行模/数或数/模变换,再根据串口提供的每个波束方位、俯仰和频率等
信息,在基带实现数字多波束形成。设计了一套S频段、瞬时宽带100MHz的数字多波束
相控阵天线系统。测试结果表明,该天线可收发同时形成3个独立波束,每个波束在俯仰面0
°~70°、方位面全向的扫描范围内实现EIRP值不小于40 dBm,G/T值不小于-20
dB/K的优良指标。该设计可以有效提高系统灵活性,降低系统的复杂度。 |

Abstract: |
With the increasing numbers of beamforming, the weight, size, power consumption
of traditional digital multi-beam phased array antennas may increase significant
ly, and the system′s basic reliability will decrease significantly. Based on so
ftware radio theory, a new method is presented. Superheterodyne is used to reali
ze wideband signal frequency changing, and A/D or D/A converter of signals is re
alized in instantaneous bandwidth simultaneously.According to the azimuth angle,
pitch angle and frequence supported by series port, the multi-beam is formed i
n the baseband. An S-band digital multi-beam phased array antenna with 100 M
Hz instantaneous bandwidth is designed. The experimental results show that the
T/R antennas can form three independent beams simultaneously. In the azimuthal
omnidirectional scanning range of pitch angle 0°~70°, the EIRP is not less t
han 40dBm, and G/T is not less than -20 dB/K. The design can retren
ch a lot of hardware devices, and reduce the complexity of the system. |
