Problems solved by technology

However, in this patent solution, the antenna system mainly uses the microwave anechoic chamber measurement system to collect the near-field amplitude and phase, and then uses the FFT inversion algorithm to obtain the amplitude and phase distribution values ​​​​of the antenna aperture and then corrects it. In the calibration process after leaving the microwave anechoic chamber , the accuracy of the correction results largely depends on the working stability of the microwave device itself, which cannot effectively guarantee the accuracy of the active antenna beamforming
This also leads to certain limitations in the application of the active antenna

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) microwave technology, in particular to an active antenna and a system design method for calibrating the active antenna. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of airborne SAR radar technology, microwave technology and signal processing technology, the realization of large bandwidth and multi-beam radar system has always been an important research direction in the field of radar. On the one hand, the range resolution is inversely proportional to the operating bandwidth of the radar system, and the higher the resolution, the larger the bandwidth of the transmitted signal required. For example, to achieve 0.1m resolution, the required bandwidth of the transmitted signal is about 2GHz. On the other hand, radar systems generally have multi-function, multi-target indication and multi-mode capabilities, which are closely related to the multi-beam application ...
