Problems solved by technology

However, this method still has obvious shortcomings: one-dimensional sub-arrays lack equivalent characteristics (divided into outer sub-arrays and inner sub-arrays), so the entire array lacks symmetry, and the scalability of the array is limited; due to heat transfer and mechanical reliability The length of the one-dimensional array is restricted, which also limits the maximum number of pixels; this method does not support waveguide-type local oscillator distribution, and the local oscillator distribution has to adopt a quasi-optical method, resulting in a large receiver system that cannot Enabling compact large-scale arrays

Embodiment 1

[0040] Embodiment 1 Millimeter wave, submillimeter wave band heterodyne array receiving module

[0041] The millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave band heterodyne array receiving module adopts an isosceles trapezoidal columnar module with a cross-section and a base angle of 60 degrees, and is made of pure copper with gold plating. as attached figure 1 As shown, the subarray modules are layered by function. According to the order of signal transmission, the top layer is the horn antenna layer (15), which integrates 6 corrugated horn antennas (9-13). The second layer is the local oscillator distribution layer (16), which realizes the distribution of local oscillators in the 6 pixels; the third layer is the mixer circuit layer (17), which completes the frequency mixing of the input signal and the reference signal. The voltage bias required by the mixer is input through a 25-core micro-D connector (21); the fourth layer is a low-noise amplifier layer (18), which performs low-no...

Abstract

The invention belongs to a radio receiving system, and specifically provides a large-scale and highly integrated array receiving module working in millimeter wave and submillimeter wave frequency bands and a receiver integrated by the module. This invention breaks through the limitations of the original splicing technology, and realizes a larger-scale, higher-integrated array, which can significantly improve the overall uniformity and reliability, and the equipment can easily realize the expansion of functions. The sub-array of the array receiver is composed of N two-dimensional arrays with the same isosceles trapezoidal profile, so the process difficulty can be limited to the sub-array level, and an array N times the size of the sub-array can be realized without significantly increasing the technical difficulty .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a radio receiving system, in particular to a large-scale and highly integrated array receiver system working in millimeter wave and submillimeter wave frequency bands. Background technique [0002] Multi-pixel detection technology with spatial imaging capabilities is widely used in optical and infrared bands (such as CCD cameras). With the rapid growth of imaging requirements in fields such as astronomical observation and aerospace remote sensing, the importance of array receiver technology in microwave, millimeter wave, submillimeter wave and other bands has become increasingly prominent. [0003] According to the receiver's spectral resolution capability, array receivers are divided into two basic types: heterodyne receivers with high spectral resolution capabilities and non-coherent receivers with imaging but lack of spectral resolution capabilities. The latter only receives the strength of the signal and loses the precise ...
