Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wide-beam, large-bandwidth, high-precision direction-finding device and method, and belongs to the technical field of radar data processing. Background Art

[0002] Reconnaissance and direction finding is a key core technology in the field of electromagnetic environment monitoring and electronic countermeasures. The core indicators of reconnaissance and direction finding technology are direction finding sensitivity, angle measurement accuracy, instantaneous angle measurement range and instantaneous measurement bandwidth.

[0003] At present, the commonly used technical systems in the field of reconnaissance and direction finding include 4-channel amplitude comparison direction finding, 5-element interferometer system, two-dimensional linear array interferometer, and simultaneous digital multi-beam technology.

[0004] According to engineering experience, the angle measurement accuracy of the 4-channel amplitude comparison direction finding system is usually 1 / 6 of the antenna beam width; the instantaneous angle measurement range is one beam width, and the direction finding sensitivity is negatively correlated with the antenna beam width. Therefore, the 4-channel amplitude comparison direction finding system cannot have the advantages of high angle measurement accuracy, wide instantaneous angle measurement range, and high direction finding sensitivity at the same time. The 5-element interferometer direction finding system is usually used in low frequency bands and has poor sensitivity. The 2D linear array interferometer has high angle measurement accuracy, but its sensitivity is low, and there is a contradiction between the direction finding range and the direction finding accuracy.

[0005] At the same time, the digital multi-beam system has great advantages in direction finding sensitivity, angle measurement accuracy, and instantaneous angle measurement range, but its instantaneous measurement bandwidth is generally narrow, usually below 1 GHz.

[0006] In the military field, especially in the fields of electromagnetic environment monitoring and electronic countermeasures, it is necessary to conduct real-time reconnaissance and direction finding of radar signals on ground radars, shipborne radars, missile seekers and other equipment, obtain parameter information and angle information of target signals, and provide reconnaissance parameters and angle information for jamming equipment. At present, the instantaneous bandwidth of signals of more advanced radar equipment has reached 4GHz, and the instantaneous processing bandwidth of existing electronic countermeasure devices is below 1GHz. How to perform real-time reconnaissance and direction finding of radar equipment with an instantaneous bandwidth of 4GHz is a technical solution that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve.
