Embodiment Construction

[0016] refer to figure 1 . According to the present invention, before calibrating the amplitude / phase characteristics of all the channels of the spherical phased array antenna, the antenna array elements selected according to the relatively concentrated characteristics of the calibration antenna at the top of the spherical array antenna are calibrated to calibrate the calibration link at the top of the antenna The relative amplitude and phase characteristics of the antenna, and then use the calibration antenna on the top of the antenna to correspond to the calibration rods distributed around the spherical array antenna, and use the same antenna channel on the spherical array antenna to calibrate two adjacent calibration antenna channels Then, from the top of the spherical array antenna to all directions, using the self-calibration method of differential transfer, the relative amplitude / phase characteristics of the two beacon links are obtained, and the distribution around the ...

Abstract

The invention provides a self-correcting method for a spherical surface phased-array antenna near-field channel calibration link. The self-correcting method can consume few hardware resources and automatically operate the calibration link. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the steps that before amplitude/phase characteristic calibration is performed on all channels of an array antenna, according to the spherical surface array antenna top calibration antenna concentrated characteristics, a fixed antenna element is selected for performing calibration, the relative amplitudeand phase characteristics of the antenna top calibration link are calibrated, antenna top calibration antennas are made to correspond to calibration rods distributed in the periphery respectively, the same antenna channel on the spherical surface array antenna is adopted, and the amplitude/phase difference between the two adjacent calibration antenna channels is calibrated; then, the differentialtransmission self-correcting mode is adopted from the top of the antenna to different directions, and the relative amplitude/phase characteristics of the two calibration links are obtained; an antenna element channel fixed to the spherical surface array antenna is used for performing amplitude/phase correction reversely, and the relative amplitude/phase characteristics of each calibration link are obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a self-calibration method for a channel calibration link of a measurement and control system in the field of aerospace measurement and control, in particular to a self-calibration method for a near-field channel calibration link of a digital multi-beam spherical phased array antenna. Background technique [0002] The phased array antenna is developed from the array antenna, which mainly relies on the phase change to realize the movement or scanning of the antenna beam pointing in space, also known as the electronically scanned array (ESA) antenna. It is an antenna array composed of many unit channels. It is a multi-channel system that contains a large number of antenna units. Each channel contains several microwave devices, such as radiation antenna units, phase shifters, electric attenuators, power amplifiers, and frequency converters. , LNA, filter, limiter, etc. It is difficult for these microwave devices to ensure that the...
