Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of deep space exploration, in particular to a technology for calculating the phase difference of signals in deep space signal reception so as to synthesize antenna array signals. Background technique
[0002] The rapid development of long-distance communication and navigation in deep space exploration and radio astronomy has put forward new requirements for the performance of radio telescopes. Due to the increase of development costs and technical limitations, the improvement of the G / T value of a single antenna has come to a standstill. The US Deep Space Network (DSN) strategic plan has identified a possible growth path: using radio frequency bands, and obtaining higher antenna gain through a large number of small antenna arrays. Antenna arrays offer the advantage of being able to receive data at a higher data rate than can be received with a single antenna, which has many desirable advantages: better performance, g...
