Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of antenna feed switching technology, and in particular to a mechanical structure in a reflector antenna for realizing feed source switching of different frequency bands, and is suitable for reflector antennas requiring feed source networks of multiple frequency bands. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of global aerospace measurement and control technology, the antennas of measurement and control ground stations are developing towards multi-band and high-precision. In order to adapt to the antenna system's multi-band satellite signal transmission and reception shared signals, reflector antennas usually use multiple groups of feed sources to achieve frequency band switching.

[0003] At present, most radar systems have only a single or multiple fixed feed sources. The multi-feed radar system with automatic feed switching has the characteristics of high radar system resource utilization and strong detection capability, so it has great advantages in certain specific situations. The multi-feed fully automatic feed switching system is a key equipment of this radar system. It can automatically switch the feed to be worked to the focal position as needed. The focusing accuracy and repeated focusing accuracy after feed switching determine the performance of the entire radar system. Wang Yuzhe of China Electronics 54 Institute described a rotary feed switching mechanism in his paper "Design of Multi-Feed Switching Mechanism for Large Radio Telescopes". However, the rotary feed switching has a large shielding area, complex structure, and complex wiring. Since the entire system is used outdoors, the environmental adaptability of the guide components of the feed switching system is required to be high. In addition, the commonly used high-precision ball linear guides have poor corrosion resistance, high cost, and long cycle. Summary of the invention
