Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of antenna technology, and specifically is a method for calculating the amplitude and phase adjustment amount of the electrical performance of an active phased array antenna based on fine intervals. The method is used to calculate the amplitude and phase interval adjustment amount of the excitation current when the interval amplification effect exists in the interval calculation process of the active phased array antenna, and can effectively realize the robust regulation of the electrical performance of the antenna. Background Art
[0002] Active phased array antennas have important functions such as accurately receiving target information or accurately tracking target positions, and are widely used in missile defense systems, airborne radar systems, communication and navigation systems, medical detection systems, and other fields. With the increasing requirements for antenna electrical performance, active phased array antennas have the characteristics of fast scanning speed and good anti-interference ability. Active phased array antennas are developing towards high-frequency bands, high-gain and high-performance. The influence of structural factors such as the spatial position of array elements, array element pointing rotation errors, and electromagnetic factors such as excitation current amplitude and phase on electrical performance is more prominent.
[0003] In the 1960s, American mathematician Moore proposed a relatively complete interval analysis (IA) theory in his doctoral dissertation, and then he published the first book on interval analysis, "Interval Analysis" in 1966. Luca Manica and Paolo Rocca of Italy first solved the robust design of linear antenna arrays with the optimization technology based on interval analysis; in addition, Paolo Rocca's research team used interval analysis methods to study the actual antenna performance under the error of array element excitation amplitude and the limit of radiation power pattern change under different excitation tolerances in the field of linear array antennas. Guo Shuisheng used the interval analysis method to optimize the basic dimensions and tolerance bands of the array structure of the phased array antenna, thereby improving the manufacturing process and reducing the manufacturing and installation costs; Wang Zhonghua analyzed the uncertainty propagation of parameters in the electromagnetic field and analyzed the influence of uncertainty parameters on the amplitude and phase of the T / R component; Wang proposed a method for determining the electrical performance interval of active phased array antennas based on a proxy model and a priori knowledge algorithm for quickly calculating the electrical performance interval of active phased array antennas.
[0004] However, there may be an interval amplification effect in the interval calculation of the interval analysis method, which will make the final design result inaccurate or unreliable. For active phased array antennas in complex antenna service environments, there are errors in the spatial position and pointing rotation of the array elements, which cause the deterioration of the antenna electrical performance. In view of the interval amplification effect, how to calculate the amplitude and phase adjustment of the excitation current of the active phased array antenna and effectively realize the robust regulation of the antenna electrical performance has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in this field.
