[0002] At present, radar technology is widely used in my country. Traditional radar devices usually use mechanical radar to monitor and scan objects. However, mechanical radar needs to be used with the help of antennas, rotating tables and other devices to perform the overall detection of signal waves. It has the problems of low detection accuracy, great influence of inertia and low scanning rate. In response to this situation, phased array radar came into being.
[0003] Patent CN202110469968X provides a high-integration two-dimensional phased array radar RF front end. This patent mainly replaces the integrated control of traditional chips with highly integrated silicon-based microwave TR chips, thereby implementing multi-channel TR, with low production costs and modular control of each function, which can be debugged separately.
[0004] Patent CN201911312249 provides an automatic gain control system and method for an active phase-scan ground reconnaissance radar. This patent establishes an array antenna and a TR processing unit so that the beams scanning in different directions can be adaptively adjusted in gain according to the echo power, which alleviates the problem of echo attenuation to a certain extent and improves the detection performance of the phased array radar.
[0005] However, the above patents usually adopt a separate design, in which the core component, the frequency synthesizer receiver, will have various fault problems due to long-term use or firmware aging, resulting in beam scanning deviation, antenna index deterioration, phase matching and other problems, affecting the reliability of the frequency synthesizer receiver. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce a design method based on a ping-pong phase-locked loop group of a portable radar dual-frequency receiver to better deal with such problems.

[0024] Example:
[0025] This example provides a design method for a ping-pong phase-locked loop group based on a portable radar dual-frequency receiver. First, a dual-frequency system control circuit based on up and down conversion is established in the frequency synthesis receiver. Then, two groups of ping-pong phase-locked loop groups are established in the up-conversion local oscillator phase-locked loop group, and the up-conversion local oscillator signal obtained in the ping-pong phase-locked loop group is transmitted to the microwave component for subsequent time-division multiplexing processing.
[0026] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the working principle of the dual-frequency receiver ping-pong phase-locked loop group described in the present invention is: in order to better achieve phase stability output and phase synchronization, the vibration frequency is first received and output as a stable DC signal through a loop filter, and then the VCO voltage-controlled oscillator receives the DC signal and oscillates freely according to its internal voltage conversion frequency, and then the division ratio is established through the pre-divider, and the output frequency is calculated and output through the frequency.
[0027] The loop filter averages the collected ripple signal to provide stability of the signal input of the phase-locked loop circuit. The VCO voltage-controlled oscillator obtains the DC signal in the loop filter and adjusts the oscillation frequency of the voltage control signal. The pre-divider adjusts the output frequency interval in the oscillation frequency of the signal by setting the specified frequency division parameters, and generates a stable output frequency by establishing a feedback control model.
[0028] The relationship between the receiving local oscillator signal and the transmitting excitation signal is as follows:
[0029] f SF_L =f Lo2L +f IF
[0030] f SF_H =f Lo2H +f IF
[0031] f R_Lo =f Lo2 +f Lo1 .
