[0022] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, this embodiment provides a high - performance radio reconnaissance device including a base 1, a first mounting plate 3, a second mounting plate 4, a horn antenna 6, a dipole antenna element 7, a switch matrix 8, an electronic compass, and a GPS module.

[0023] As Figure 2As shown, the base 1 is installed in the middle of the ground of the first mounting plate 3. Eight horn antennas 6 are evenly installed on the first mounting plate 3 in a circular array. The second mounting plate 4 is installed on the top surface of the first mounting plate 3 through the support column 5. Nine dipole antenna elements 7 are evenly installed on the second mounting plate 4 in a circular array. The switch matrix 8, electronic compass and GPS module are installed in the middle of the top surface of the first mounting plate 3. The housing 2 is installed on the top surface of the first mounting plate 3 to cover the horn antennas 6, dipole antenna elements 7, switch matrix 8, electronic compass and BDS / GPS / GNSS module.

[0024] One of the dipole antenna elements 7 is named as antenna element No. 1 to No. 9 as the starting point. Similarly, the horn antennas 6 are named as horn antenna 6 No. 1 to No. 8.

[0025] As Figure 3 shown, the switch matrix 8 is an electronic device for selecting radio frequency paths. In this embodiment, by setting several switch matrices 8 with different quantities and types, the selection of low-frequency and high-frequency signals is realized. Specifically, the switch matrix 8 of this embodiment includes a four-way selector switch, a seven-way selector switch, a two-way selector switch, an eight-way selector switch and a four-way power divider. Among them, the four-way selector switch and the seven-way selector switch are connected to the dipole antenna elements 7 to realize the switch control of low-frequency signals. The two-way selector switch and the eight-way selector switch are respectively connected to the horn antennas 6 to realize the switch control of high-frequency signals.

[0026] As Figure 3 shown, the four-way selector switch is connected to antenna element No. 1, No. 4 and No. 7. The seven-way selector switch is respectively connected to antenna element No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 8 and No. 9. The four-way selector switch and the seven-way selector switch are both connected with calibration signals.

[0027] Each horn antenna 6 is connected with a two-way selector switch. Among them, the two-way selector switches connected to horn antennas 6 No. 1, No. 3, No. 5 and No. 7 are connected to the lateral output one switch, and the two-way selector switches connected to horn antennas 6 No. 2, No. 4, No. 6 and No. 8 are connected to the lateral output two switch. The lateral output one switch and the lateral output two switch can be realized by an eight-way selector switch or a six-way selector switch. The lateral output one switch and the lateral output two switch are respectively connected with radio frequency output interfaces. The lateral output one switch is also connected to the four-way selector switch, and the lateral output two switch is also connected to the seven-way selector switch.

[0028] The eight horn antennas 6 are also connected to a model identification eight-way selector switch.

[0029] The four-way power divider is respectively connected to the lateral output one switch, the lateral output two switch, the seven-way selector switch and the four-way selector switch. The four-way power divider is also connected with a calibration input signal.

[0030] The radio frequency signal first passes through eight 1-of-2 switches to determine whether to select the horn antenna 6 or the dipole antenna to work (related to the respective frequency ranges of the antennas); then, through the lateral output switch selection, multiple groups of different phase relationships or amplitude relationships are formed to provide basic data for relevant direction-finding algorithms, and are input into the detection receiver in real time. Since the switching speed of the electronic switch reaches the nanosecond level, it is considered that the same signal is collected 8 times; by using the distribution relationship of the signal amplitudes obtained from these 8 collections in the antenna array, the azimuth of the signal arrival can be accurately measured. Finally, a four-way power divider completes the calibration of the system radio frequency channels of the low-frequency dipole and the high-frequency horn antenna 6.

[0031] Through the operation of the system software, the radio reconnaissance processing unit can realize functions such as searching, intercepting, analyzing, direction-finding, and distance evaluation of UAV signals, and display the detection results in real time. The data can be automatically stored in the database to support off-line query and provide evidence query for the equipment users. The system software supports alarm and can also link various countermeasure devices to counter UAVs that pose a threat to security or violate regulations and break in in a timely manner. As Figure 4 shown, the AC / DC power module, the ultra-short wave receiver module, the intermediate frequency digital signal processing module, the UAV type identification module, the walkie-talkie decoding module, the gigabit network switch, and the industrial control processing module. The ultra-short wave receiver module is connected to the intermediate frequency digital signal processing module and the antenna array, and the gigabit network switch is connected to the intermediate frequency digital signal processing module, the UAV type identification module, the walkie-talkie decoding module, and the industrial control processing module.

[0032] The software server program supports the function of being networked. The comprehensive central platform software can control and operate the equipment through relevant protocols, and the detection data or relevant information is uploaded to the central platform management software through relevant interface protocols.
