Ground phase-correcting method for double-channel tracking system

Abstract

The invention provides a ground phase-correcting method for a double-channel tracking system and aims to provide a method which is independent from any external condition and has a phase-correcting precision equivalent to that of a standard tower-correcting method. According to the technical scheme, the ground phase-correcting method comprises the following steps: firstly, placing a beacon on the ground in a position with a more than 0.3R radial distance from a ground station antenna, adjusting a beacon signal level and finishing level calibration at an input end of a ground station tracking receiver; causing the ground station antenna to direct to the beacon direction and correcting the phase; causing the ground station antenna to deviate from the beacon for 4 milli-inches along azimuth and pitching directions; respectively adjusting phase shift values of an azimuth phase shifter and a pitching phase shifter of the tracking receiver; storing the phase shift values when azimuth error voltage and pitching error voltage are maximal; controlling the ground station antenna to deviate from beacon null point along the azimuth and pitching directions; checking error voltage polarity and cross-coupling; automatically tracking the beacon; checking a convergence condition of a servo loop; and counting and recording angle-measuring random errors.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of aircraft measurement and control, satellite communication, and radar, and is a method for correcting the phase inconsistency of the sum difference in a dual-channel monopulse system angle tracking system. Background technique [0002] The sum-and-difference dual-channel monopulse technology was introduced in the 1950s. Because of its high tracking accuracy, simple equipment, high reliability, excellent angular error demodulation performance, and easy implementation, it has been used in precision tracking measurement radars. Widely used, but the technical problems inherent in the dual-channel monopulse system and the inconsistency of the phase difference have not been solved for a long time. In the actual engineering development process, the feed network cannot achieve the same ideal results as the theoretical value in the realization of circular polarization synthesis, azimuth / elevation signal orthogonality, ...
