[0045] A radio frequency array multiplexing method for passive reconnaissance is implemented based on the above radio frequency array multiplexing device for passive reconnaissance, characterized in that the method includes:

[0046] Step 1: The array multiplexing front-end component of array face 1 receives input signals of different frequency bands, inputs the signals of the same frequency band among the input signals of different frequency bands into the same first power divider, and splits the signals into two paths, thereby obtaining the receiver input signal of the same frequency band in the current quadrant and the multiplexed input signals of the same frequency band in other quadrants;

[0047] Step 2: The input signal of the current quadrant receiver of the same frequency band is processed by the attenuator and the second equalizer in sequence, and then is selected by the first SPDT switch. The second amplifier amplifies the power of the selected input signal of the current quadrant receiver of the same frequency band and outputs it;

[0048] Step 3: After the SPST switch is selected, the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants in the same frequency band are passed to the first equalizer. The first equalizer adjusts the frequency components and then passes them to the combiner. The combiner performs frequency band fusion on the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants in the same frequency band to obtain a fused signal, and passes it to the first amplifier. The first amplifier amplifies the power of the fused signal to obtain multiplexed input signals of other quadrants. After the second SPDT switch is selected, the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants are passed to the array 1 SPDT switch in the array multiplexing signal branching component.

[0049] Step 4: The array face 1 SPDT switch receives the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants and transmits them to the array face 1 power splitter. The array face 1 power splitter splits the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants into the second quadrant multiplexed input signals, the third quadrant multiplexed input signals, and the fourth quadrant multiplexed input signals. The second quadrant multiplexed input signals are transmitted to the array face 2 SP3T switch, the third quadrant multiplexed input signals are transmitted to the array face 3 SP3T switch, and the fourth quadrant multiplexed input signals are transmitted to the array face 4 SP3T switch.

[0050] Step 5: If the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal is to be multiplexed to the array 2 array multiplexing front-end component, the array 2 SP3T switch selects the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal. The second-quadrant multiplexing input signal passes through the array 2 amplifier and the array 2 SPDT switch in sequence. The array 2 SPDT switch selects the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal and then passes it to the second SPDT switch in the array 2 array multiplexing front-end component. The second SPDT switch passes the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal to the third amplifier and the second power divider in sequence. The second power divider splits the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal into signals of different frequency bands. The signals of different frequency bands pass through the first SPDT switch and the second amplifier in sequence and are then output.

[0051] If the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal is to be multiplexed to the array 3 array multiplexing front-end component, the array 3 SP3T switch selects the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal, and the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal passes through the array 3 amplifier and the array 3 SPDT switch in sequence. The array 3 SPDT switch selects the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal and then transmits it to the second SPDT switch in the array 3 array multiplexing front-end component; the second SPDT switch transmits the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal to the third amplifier and the second power divider in sequence, and the second power divider splits the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal into signals of different frequency bands. The signals of different frequency bands pass through the first SPDT switch and the second amplifier in sequence and are then output;

[0052] If the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal is to be multiplexed to the array 4 array multiplexing front-end component, the array 4 SP3T switch selects the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal, and the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal passes through the array 4 amplifier and the array 4 SPDT switch in sequence. The array 4 SPDT switch selects the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal and then passes it to the second SPDT switch in the array 4 array multiplexing front-end component; the second SPDT switch passes the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal to the third amplifier and the second power divider in sequence, and the second power divider divides the second quadrant multiplexing input signal into signals of different frequency bands. The signals of different frequency bands pass through the first SPDT switch and the second amplifier in sequence and are output.

[0053] The array face 1 multiplexing front-end component in step 1 can also be the array face 2 multiplexing front-end component, the array face 3 multiplexing front-end component, or the array face 4 multiplexing front-end component, so as to realize the multiplexing of the signal received by any array face multiplexing front-end component to the other three array face multiplexing front-end components.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] 1. The present invention increases the adaptability of the original single quadrant to complex multi-target environments by adding an array multiplexing front-end component to process the signals of the current quadrant and the signals of other quadrants separately.

[0056] 2. The multiple components in the array multiplexing front-end assembly of the present invention can be increased or decreased according to actual working conditions, which can optimize the equipment receiving resources and improve the equipment utilization efficiency.

[0057] 3. Since the back-end of the present invention can be selected in multiple dimensions and the receivers of each quadrant function in parallel, the basic functional reliability and service life of the device of the present invention are improved.

[0058] In summary, the present invention installs an array multiplexing front-end component between the original device's receiving front-end and the receiver, so that the antenna receiving signal in this quadrant can be used and analyzed and processed by the other three quadrants, and the receiver in this quadrant can also process the front-end signals of the other three quadrants; through the transmission of radio frequency signals between the array multiplexing front-end component and the array multiplexing signal branching component, each quadrant receiving antenna can be connected to one or more back-end receivers; and through the design of the transceiver switch and the fused frequency band network within the device, the number of cables for transmitting signals between quadrants is greatly reduced.

The first power divider generates the receiver signal input signal of this quadrant and the multiplexing input signal of other quadrants. The high-isolation single-pole double-throw switch (first SPDT switch) ensures that the signal of this quadrant does not interfere with the signals of other quadrants.

[0095] The signal-to-noise ratio degradation in the quadrant of the array multiplexing front-end components is minimal. In the link design, which includes the first power splitter, attenuator, second equalizer, first SPDT switch, and second amplifier, the signal-to-noise ratio degradation, dynamic compression, and gain variation are minimal, based on the iterative implementation of the original equipment's front-end gain array multiplexing function.

[0096] The array multiplexing front-end assembly can combine signals from multiple non-overlapping frequency bands within a quadrant and output them through a single input and output interface, significantly reducing the number of transmission cables required between devices. The frequency-band fusion transceiver network, formed by the SPST switch, combiner, second SPDT switch, first amplifier, third amplifier, and second power splitter, can combine (combine) and split (second power splitter) different operating frequency bands when outputting signals from the current quadrant or receiving multiplexed signals from other quadrants. The transceiver switch design (second SPDT switch) reduces the number of bidirectional transmission cables required, while the first and third amplifiers compensate for the loss and noise degradation of long bidirectional transmission cables between quadrants.

The transceiver switches establish the transceiver relationship of each quadrant in the multiplexing function. The combination of power splitters and switches allows any quadrant to multiplex or be multiplexed by the other three quadrants. The amplifiers provide gain compensation for link loss introduced by the network.

[0115] The array multiplexing signal branching assembly is interconnected with the array multiplexing front-end assembly of the four arrays. The SPDT switches on arrays 1, 2, 3, and 4 are linked to the second SPDT switches within the array multiplexing front-end assembly of each quadrant, selecting the receive and transmit functions of each quadrant. The received signal is distributed to the other three quadrants through the power dividers on arrays 1, 2, 3, and 4. The SP3T switches on arrays 1, 2, 3, and 4 in each quadrant select the receive quadrant to achieve signal cross-conduction.

[0116] A radio frequency array multiplexing method for passive reconnaissance is implemented based on the radio frequency array multiplexing device for passive reconnaissance described above, and the method comprises:

[0117] Step 1: The array multiplexing front-end component of array face 1 receives input signals of different frequency bands, inputs the signals of the same frequency band among the input signals of different frequency bands into the same first power divider, and splits the signals into two paths, thereby obtaining the receiver input signal of the same frequency band in the current quadrant and the multiplexed input signals of the same frequency band in other quadrants;

[0118] Step 2: The input signal of the current quadrant receiver of the same frequency band is processed by the attenuator and the second equalizer in sequence, and then is selected by the first SPDT switch. The second amplifier amplifies the power of the selected input signal of the current quadrant receiver of the same frequency band and outputs it;

[0119] Step 3: After the SPST switch is selected, the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants in the same frequency band are passed to the first equalizer. The first equalizer adjusts the frequency components and then passes them to the combiner. The combiner performs frequency band fusion on the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants in the same frequency band to obtain a fused signal, and passes it to the first amplifier. The first amplifier amplifies the power of the fused signal to obtain multiplexed input signals of other quadrants. After the second SPDT switch is selected, the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants are passed to the array 1 SPDT switch in the array multiplexing signal branching component.

[0120] Step 4: The array face 1 SPDT switch receives the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants and transmits them to the array face 1 power splitter. The array face 1 power splitter splits the multiplexed input signals of other quadrants into the second quadrant multiplexed input signals, the third quadrant multiplexed input signals, and the fourth quadrant multiplexed input signals. The second quadrant multiplexed input signals are transmitted to the array face 2 SP3T switch, the third quadrant multiplexed input signals are transmitted to the array face 3 SP3T switch, and the fourth quadrant multiplexed input signals are transmitted to the array face 4 SP3T switch.

[0121] Step 5: If the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal is to be multiplexed to the array 2 array multiplexing front-end component, the array 2 SP3T switch selects the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal. The second-quadrant multiplexing input signal passes through the array 2 amplifier and the array 2 SPDT switch in sequence. The array 2 SPDT switch selects the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal and then passes it to the second SPDT switch in the array 2 array multiplexing front-end component. The second SPDT switch passes the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal to the third amplifier and the second power divider in sequence. The second power divider splits the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal into signals of different frequency bands. The signals of different frequency bands pass through the first SPDT switch and the second amplifier in sequence and are then output.

[0122] If the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal is to be multiplexed to the array 3 array multiplexing front-end component, the array 3 SP3T switch selects the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal, and the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal passes through the array 3 amplifier and the array 3 SPDT switch in sequence. The array 3 SPDT switch selects the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal and then transmits it to the second SPDT switch in the array 3 array multiplexing front-end component; the second SPDT switch transmits the third-quadrant multiplexing input signal to the third amplifier and the second power divider in sequence, and the second power divider splits the second-quadrant multiplexing input signal into signals of different frequency bands. The signals of different frequency bands pass through the first SPDT switch and the second amplifier in sequence and are then output;

[0123] If the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal is to be multiplexed to the array 4 array multiplexing front-end component, the array 4 SP3T switch selects the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal, and the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal passes through the array 4 amplifier and the array 4 SPDT switch in sequence. The array 4 SPDT switch selects the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal and then passes it to the second SPDT switch in the array 4 array multiplexing front-end component; the second SPDT switch passes the fourth quadrant multiplexing input signal to the third amplifier and the second power divider in sequence, and the second power divider divides the second quadrant multiplexing input signal into signals of different frequency bands. The signals of different frequency bands pass through the first SPDT switch and the second amplifier in sequence and are output.

[0124] The above steps are the process of multiplexing the signal received by the array face 1 array multiplexing front-end component to the array face 2 array multiplexing front-end component or the array face 3 array multiplexing front-end component and the array face 4 array multiplexing front-end component. The array face 1 array multiplexing front-end component in step 1 can also be replaced with the array face 2 array multiplexing front-end component or the array face 3 array multiplexing front-end component or the array face 4 array multiplexing front-end component, and the corresponding components in the step are replaced, so as to realize the multiplexing of the signal received by any array face multiplexing front-end component to the other three array face multiplexing front-end components.

[0125] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the multiplexing of the Band 1 signal from Face 1 to Face 2 for reception and processing. The Band 1 signal from Face 1 is split into one path by the first power divider in Face 1's Face Multiplexing Front-End Assembly, then selected by the SPST switch and transmitted and output via the transceiver switch (second SPDT switch). A long cable (bidirectional transmission cable) transmits the signal from Face 1 to the Face Multiplexing Signal Branching Assembly in the central cabinet. The SPDT switch for Face 1 is set to receive, while the SPDT switch for Face 2 is set to transmit. The signal is then transmitted and output via the SPDT switch for Face 2. A long cable (bidirectional transmission cable) transmits the signal from the Face Multiplexing Signal Branching Assembly in the central cabinet to the Face Multiplexing Front-End Assembly in Face 2. The second SPDT switch is set to receive, while the first SPDT switch is set to receive signals from other faces. As a result, the Band 1 RF signal from Face 1 is ultimately routed to the Face 2 receiver for processing.

[0126] In summary, the present invention installs an array multiplexing front-end component between the original device's receiving front-end and the receiver, so that the antenna receiving signal in this quadrant can be used and analyzed and processed by the other three quadrants, and the receiver in this quadrant can also process the front-end signals of the other three quadrants; through the transmission of radio frequency signals between the array multiplexing front-end component and the array multiplexing signal branching component, each quadrant receiving antenna can be connected to one or more back-end receivers; and through the design of the transceiver switch and the fused frequency band network within the device, the number of cables for transmitting signals between quadrants is greatly reduced.
