Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for constructing a four-element three-dimensional array. The method comprises the following steps of: arbitrarily rotating a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system where a traditional three-element planar array is located by an angle, adding a non-coplanar fourth element to construct a preliminary four-element three-dimensional array; calculating the phase differences of the other three elements relative to the first element at different time; creating a direction finding model according to the calculated phase differences of the other three elements relative to the first element; calculating a direction-finding error between the estimated value and the actual value of the to-be-measured wave direction by using the direction finding model; selecting a plurality of fourth elements with different rotation angles, calculating the direction-finding precision of the to-be-measured wave direction in a desired pitch angle area, determining the rotation angle corresponding to the calculated highest direction-finding precision as a best rotation angle, and constructing the final four-element three-dimensional array according to the best rotation angle. The four-element three-dimensional array constructed by using the method is capable of improving the direction finding precision in a small pitch angle area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of array antenna direction finding, in particular to a method and device for constructing a three-dimensional array of four array elements. Background technique [0002] The array antenna direction finding system is an important passive direction finding equipment. Compared with the active radar system, in addition to the advantages of anti-interception and anti-jamming, it also has the advantages of high direction finding accuracy, small volume and weight, and low cost. In recent years, it has been paid attention to and has been applied to spaceborne equipment many times. Most of the commonly used direction-finding array antennas are planar arrays, that is, multiple array elements are on the same plane. In the application process, this kind of planar array can often obtain relatively ideal direction finding accuracy in the normal area of ​​the array (usually the position of the satellite sub-satellite poin...
