Problems solved by technology

However, in the actual environment application, facing the complex electromagnetic environment of radio frequency interference and multipath interference, the single antenna using a choke coil has limited ability to suppress interference and multipath, and the anti-interference and anti-multipath of satellite navigation array antennas have become the mainstream application mode
However, there are phase center limitations in the application of satellite navigation array antennas to high-precision measurements:
[0004] 2. The phase center calibration of the satellite navigation array antenna is mostly realized by the method of near-field channel measurement and simulation evaluation, which has a large error with the phase center application in real engineering applications

Embodiment Construction

[0026] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , the phase center far-field calibration of the satellite navigation array antenna first defines the average reference point position, phase center offset, and phase center stability of the antenna for the array antenna under test, and then builds a far-field test platform based on the microwave anechoic chamber, combined with the original design The five-degree-of-freedom test turntable builds a far-field test environment; adjust the turntable test carrier phase and delay along the array antenna azimuth and pitch two-dimensionally, and convert the test data into azimuth- and pitch-based The phase center offset and phase center stability parameters of the array antenna phase center; combined with the beamforming weighted information and the amplitude-phase consistency correction information, the phase center correction is performed on the weighted beamforming signal of the array antenna, and finally the satellite navigation array antenna ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for calibrating the phase center far field of a satellite navigation array antenna. The invention proposes the definition, testing and correction of the phase center of the array antenna. At the same time, based on the microwave anechoic chamber, the far-field accurate calibration of the electrical phase center of the array antenna based on the real satellite navigation signal is realized through the original five-degree-of-freedom test turntable. Finally, the calibration result of the electrical phase center is fitted by the least squares algorithm to obtain the phase center offset and phase center stability of the array antenna, and these two parameters are used as the parameter input of the array antenna beamforming for correction to realize Calibration of the phase center of a satellite navigation array antenna. The method of the invention is simple and feasible, and has popularization and application value in the field of satellite navigation high-precision measurement in complex electromagnetic environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of communication, satellite navigation, signal processing, antenna testing and the like, and is particularly suitable for the application of high-precision measurement of array antennas in the field of high-precision measurement of satellite navigation under complex electromagnetic environments. Background technique [0002] With the development of global satellite navigation system, high-precision measurement has become a main direction of satellite navigation system application. Applications such as high-precision RTK positioning and carrier determination and attitude measurement all put forward higher requirements for the antenna phase center of satellite navigation, and the accuracy of the phase center is not greater than 2 mm. At present, the antenna with high-precision phase center is mostly implemented in the form of a single antenna with a choke coil. However, in practical environment applications, facing th...
