[0002] The phased array radar obtains the required radiation pattern and beam pointing by controlling the phase of each radiation unit. The change of the phase of each radiation unit is realized by a phase shifter, and the value of the phase change is calculated by a computer according to the actual application requirements. As the number of radiation units increases, the computing amount of the computer also increases, which not only places higher requirements on the performance of the computer, but also increases the power consumption of the entire radar system. This will not only lead to an increase in the cost of the entire system, but also increase the operating temperature of the system and reduce the operating stability.
[0003] However, the existing technical solutions all reduce the computing amount and computing time by optimizing the beamforming algorithm or improving the performance of the computer, and greatly increase the system hardware cost and system power consumption based on the method of adding several phase shifters.

Therefore, the actual execution order may change according to the actual situation.
[0053] It should be noted that the term "a plurality of" mentioned in this text refers to two or more.
[0054] The implementation details of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are elaborated in detail below:
[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the structural principle of an electromechanical integrated signal beam adaptive tracking system disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the electromechanical integrated signal beam adaptive tracking system of the embodiment of the present invention includes a reference channel and a regulation channel. The reference channel includes a first antenna (Antenna 1), and the regulation channel includes a second antenna (Antenna 2), a motor, a voltage-controlled oscillator, and a phase discriminator; the first antenna (Antenna 1) and the second antenna (Antenna 2) receive the same transmitted signal a0; the motor is arranged below Antenna 2 and is used to adjust the height of Antenna 2. It should be noted that the reference channel further includes a mixer 1, a filter 1, and a power divider 1; the regulation channel further includes a mixer 2, a filter 2, a power divider 2, a low-pass filter, and an amplifier and other components.
[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the signal a0 transmitted from the target is received by Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 respectively, and the reception times are t1 and t2 respectively. Since Antenna 2 is farther away, t2 > t1. Determine the initial path difference between the transmitted signal and Antenna 1 and Antenna 2. Assuming the path difference of the signal to the two antennas is d, then the corresponding time difference Δt = d / c, where c is the speed of light, so t2 = t1 + Δt.
[0057] Assume then the signals reaching Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 are respectively and wherein, in this embodiment, the transmitted signal is represented in the form of a cosine wave signal. Among them, as Figure 2 shown is the graph of the waveform description of the signal in this embodiment. Among them, for a cosine wave signal, A represents the amplitude of the signal, ω represents the frequency of the signal, represents the phase of the signal, T represents the signal period, and the frequency ω = 2π / T. In this embodiment, all the signals involved are represented in the form of cosine waves. Then, for the transmitted signal a0 from the target, A0 represents the amplitude of the transmitted signal, ω0 represents the frequency of the transmitted signal, represents the phase of the transmitted signal, t represents the transmission time of the transmitted signal, t1 represents the time interval from the transmission of the transmitted signal to the first antenna, and t2 represents the time interval from the transmission of the transmitted signal to the second antenna.
[0058] The signal received by antenna 1 is first mixed with the local oscillator signal a1, and after the high-frequency components are filtered out by a filter, a first signal b1 with a lower frequency is obtained. Assume Then:
[0059]
[0060] where, A1 represents the amplitude of the local oscillator signal, ω1 represents the frequency of the local oscillator signal, represents the phase of the local oscillator signal.
[0061] Assume Similarly, after the high-frequency components are filtered out by a filter, a second signal b2 with a lower frequency is obtained:
[0062]
[0063] where, A2 represents the amplitude of the output signal, ω2 represents the frequency of the output signal, represents the phase of the output signal.
[0064] After the first signal b1 and the second signal b2 are respectively input into the power divider, they are jointly input into the phase detector. The phase detector receives the first signal corresponding to the first antenna and the second signal corresponding to the second antenna, and generates an output voltage proportional to the phase difference between the input first signal and the second signal. After b1 and b2 are respectively input into the power divider, a part of the signal is directly sent to the backend digital unit for signal processing, and this function is similar to that of most radar receivers. Another part of the signal is jointly input into the phase detector.
[0065] Further, the phase detector generates an output voltage proportional to the phase difference between the input first signal and the second signal according to the parameters related to the first signal b1 corresponding to antenna 1 and the second signal b2 corresponding to antenna 2 and the initial path difference d. Since the phase detector can generate a voltage proportional to the phase difference of the input signal, its output voltage can be expressed as:
[0066] u d = K d θ e
[0067] where, K d is the gain coefficient of the phase detector, with the unit V / rad. θ e is the phase difference between b1 and b2, and is equal to:
[0068]
[0069] Since \(t_2 - t_1=\Delta t = \frac{d}{c}\), so
[0070]
[0071] wherein, and are the initial phases of signals \(a_1\) and \(a_2\), and their values are fixed. Therefore is also fixed. So, the output voltage of the phase discriminator only changes with \((\omega_1-\omega_2)t\). To simplify the formula, here let
[0072] When \(u\) d The voltage is too small to drive the subsequent voltage-controlled oscillator and motor, and an additional amplifier can be used to amplify it. The amplified voltage is \(V\) PD =A d u d , where \(A\) d is the amplification factor of the amplifier. This voltage controls both the voltage-controlled oscillator and the motor simultaneously.
[0073] Furthermore, according to the output voltage, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator and the length of the motor are adjusted, and according to the output frequency, the second signal corresponding to the second antenna is compensated, and the height of the second antenna is adjusted according to the length of the motor.
[0074] In this embodiment, first, the situation where the output voltage \(V\) PD controls the voltage-controlled oscillator is analyzed. The voltage-controlled oscillator is an oscillating circuit in which the output frequency has a corresponding relationship with the input voltage, and its output frequency can be expressed as:
[0075] \(\omega\) vco =K vco V PD =K vco A d u d
[0076] where \(K\) vco is the sensitivity of the voltage-controlled oscillator, and the unit is Hz / V. The larger the input voltage, the higher the output frequency, and vice versa. It can be seen from the system block diagram that \(\omega_2=\omega\) vco .
[0077] Secondly, the output voltage \(V\) PD can also control the length \(L\) of the motor, and their relationship can be expressed as:
[0078] \(L = K\) l V PD +L0
[0079] where \(K\) lis the motor lifting sensitivity, with the unit of m / V. L0 is the initial value of the motor position.
[0080] In summary, this embodiment further introduces the principle of mechatronic control. At the initial stage of the system operation, assume ω1 = ω2, and at this time is a positive constant. As Figure 2 shows the schematic diagram of mechatronic control in this embodiment. At this time, the length L of the motor increases, the antenna 2 rises, and the path difference d between the two antennas decreases. The decrease in d will cause u d to decrease, which directly causes the decrease of ω vco . Since ω2 = ω vco , so ω1 - ω2 is no longer equal to 0, but will increase as ω2 decreases, resulting in the increase of u d . Due to the decrease and increase effects of u d canceling each other out, u d remains unchanged. Therefore, under the action of the distance difference d between antenna 1 and antenna 2, antenna 2 keeps rising due to the action of L, and the final stop position is:
[0081]
[0082] At this point, the distance difference d between antenna 2 and 1 caused by different signal incident angles is converted into voltage V PD , and compensation is carried out by adjusting the electrical parameter ω2 and the physical parameter L, realizing mechatronic control.
[0083] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shows, it is the schematic diagram of compensating the path difference between the received and transmitted signals of the antenna based on the mechanical method in this embodiment. Due to the incident angle, there is a path difference between the signals received by each antenna, and the path difference directly causes amplitude difference and phase difference. Compared with the prior art, the amplitude difference is usually compensated by amplifiers with different gains, and the phase difference is usually compensated by phase shifters. In this embodiment, the path difference between the signals received by different antennas can be compensated by mechanical means, which can save amplifiers and phase shifters.
[0084] Embodiment 2
[0085] This embodiment proposes a method for adaptively adjusting the signal beam. The method is implemented based on the mechatronic signal beam adaptive tracking and aiming system described in Embodiment 1, and the method includes:
[0086] S1. At the initial stage of the system operation, set ω1 = ω2, and at this time is a positive constant, the length L of the motor increases, and the second antenna rises;
[0087] S2. The decrease in the path difference d between the first antenna and the second antenna will cause the output voltage u ddecreases, thus directly causing a decrease in the output frequency ω of the voltage-controlled oscillator; since ω2 = ω vco ; therefore, ω1 - ω2 is no longer equal to 0, but increases as ω2 decreases, thus causing an increase in u vco ; under the action of the path difference d between the first antenna and the second antenna, the second antenna keeps rising due to the action of the length L of the motor, and the final stopping position is: d
[0088]
[0089] S3. The path difference d between the first antenna and the second antenna caused by different signal incident angles is converted into a voltage V PD , and compensation is performed by adjusting the output frequency and the length L of the motor to achieve mechatronic control.
