Problems solved by technology

[0005] The traditional monitoring and calibration network uses a coupler between the antenna unit and the TR component, and multi-level cascading between each channel. The overall structure is complex, and the calibration channel does not include the difference between the antenna units.
Or add a calibration line under or on the side of the antenna unit, its stability is difficult to guarantee

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-channel waveguide coupler for calibrating a network, which comprises a branch waveguide, a coupling waveguide, a coupling hole, an impedance tuning diaphragm and a waveguide matching load. Coupling holes are formed on the common wall of the narrow side of the branch waveguide and the broad side of the coupling waveguide to couple the energy in the coupling waveguide to the branch waveguide. An impedance tuning diaphragm is added between the two coupling holes inside the coupling waveguide to offset the reflection caused by the coupling holes in the coupling waveguide. An impedance tuning film is also added in each branch waveguide to offset the reflection caused by the coupling hole in the branch waveguide. Therefore, it is ensured that the port standing wave ratio of the multi-channel waveguide coupler is very small and will not affect the main transmission signal. The invention has the advantages of easy control of coupling degree, high isolation degree between channels, compact structure, convenient array formation and production, good amplitude and phase consistency and stability, and can be used for the design of large-scale phased array waveguide calibration network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multi-channel waveguide coupler used for calibrating networks, which can be used for monitoring and calibrating networks of phased array antennas, and belongs to the technical field of passive networks. Background technique [0002] Phased array antennas have been widely used in missile-borne and airborne radar equipment due to their advantages such as high radiation efficiency, compact structure, easy realization of low sidelobes, and stable and reliable performance. [0003] In order to guarantee and maintain the active phased array antenna for fault judgment, positioning, performance evaluation, etc., and ensure its performance characteristics, reliability and maintainability throughout the life cycle, a monitoring and calibration network is generally designed inside the phased array antenna , its role is to realize the detection and calibration of the signal of each radio frequency channel. [0004] The monitoring and ca...
