The invention belongs to the technical field of
microwave passive devices, and particularly relates to a
feed network for a monopulse array antenna and the monopulse array antenna, and the
feed network comprises a sequential rotation
comparator network and an 8 * 8 subarray
feed network. The sequence rotation
comparator network is used for receiving input electromagnetic signals, outputting four paths of electromagnetic signals with the same amplitude and different phase delays and feeding the electromagnetic signals into the 8 * 8 subarray feed network; four couplers and a phase shifter are introduced into the sequential rotation
comparator network and are used for jointly realizing a
phase relation of sum and difference beams and sequential rotation feed; the 8 * 8 sub-array feed network is used for concentrating electromagnetic energy to the array center of the 8 * 8 sub-array feed network through an unequal power divider so as to realize low
side lobe performance; a high-performance diaphragm
polarizer does not need to be introduced, the
axial ratio bandwidth can be effectively widened, the
circular polarization purity is improved, the antenna
side lobe and the antenna complexity are reduced, the performance of a
circular polarization antenna array is achieved, and the
system loss can be greatly reduced.
