[0026] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present application provides a reconfigurable working mode multi-band RF folding frequency measurement receiver, and the reconfigurable working mode multi-band RF folding frequency measurement receiver may include: an intermediate frequency combiner circuit 10 and a dual-channel ADC circuit 20 that are sequentially communicatively connected, and the intermediate frequency combiner circuit 10 has multiple channels; the intermediate frequency combiner circuit 10 and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 are used to respond to different preset instructions, in full-band instantaneous mode, high-sensitivity sweep mode, high-sensitivity sweep fixed frequency mode or high-sensitivity fixed frequency mode, to sequentially combine and analyze the sub-intermediate frequency signal in at least one channel, and obtain the first target signal to the fourth target signal accordingly, wherein the sub-intermediate frequency signal is obtained based on the phase shift of the intermediate frequency signal, and the intermediate frequency signal is at least one channel, and is obtained based on the frequency conversion of the corresponding source RF signal.

[0028] Among them, one intermediate frequency signal is phase-shifted to obtain at least two sub-intermediate frequency signals and there is a preset phase difference between the two adjacent sub-intermediate frequency signals; in the full-band instantaneous mode, the intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 is used to receive the sub-intermediate frequency signals in all channels, and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 is used to obtain the phase difference of the sub-intermediate frequency signals of the same intermediate frequency signal, and demodulate the sub-intermediate frequency signals of each channel according to the preset interval to which the phase difference belongs to obtain a first target signal, and the first target signal includes the source RF signals of each channel; in the high-sensitivity sweep mode, the intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 is used to select the sub-intermediate frequency signals in at least two channels, the two channels correspond to two continuous source RF signals, and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 is used to obtain the sub-intermediate frequency signals of the two channels. The intermediate frequency of the signal and the switch codes corresponding to the two channels are respectively determined, and the two sub-intermediate frequency signals are demodulated according to the intermediate frequency and the switch codes to obtain the second target signal; in the high-sensitivity swept frequency and fixed frequency mode, the intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 is used to select the sub-intermediate frequency signal in one channel, scan the bandwidth of the intermediate frequency signal other than the selected intermediate frequency signal, and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 is used to demodulate the selected sub-intermediate frequency signal and the scanned sub-intermediate frequency signal to obtain the third target signal; in the high-sensitivity fixed frequency mode, the intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 is used to select the sub-intermediate frequency signals in two channels, and the two channels remain fixed, and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 is used to demodulate the two sub-intermediate frequency signals to obtain the fourth target signal.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present invention, the receiver may further include a pre-amplifier power splitter circuit 30, which is configured to perform power splitter amplification processing on the received radio frequency signals in sequence to obtain continuous frequency band signals.

[0030] Specifically, the pre-amplifier power splitter circuit 30 may include a first filter 301, a first amplifier 302, a first power splitter 303, a second filter 304 and a second amplifier 305, wherein the first filter 301 is used to filter the received source RF signals to obtain a first filtered signal and send the first filtered signal; the first amplifier 302 is used to amplify the received first filtered signal to obtain a first amplified signal and send the first amplified signal; the first power splitter 303 is used to power distribute the received first amplified signal to obtain at least one first power split signal and send each first power split signal; the second filter 304 is used to filter the received first power split signals to obtain corresponding continuous frequency band signals.

[0031] For example, Figure 1 As shown, a reconfigurable X-band RF folding frequency measurement receiver includes a pre-amplifier power division circuit 30, a frequency conversion circuit 40, an intermediate frequency power division phase shift channel circuit 50, an intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 and a dual-channel ADC circuit 20. Figure 2 As shown, the pre-amplifier power splitter circuit 30 includes one input port and four output ports. The input port receives RF signals in the frequency range of 8 to 12 GHz. After filtering, amplification, power splitting, amplification, and filtering, it outputs four continuous frequency bands, with frequencies of 8 to 9 GHz, 9 to 10 GHz, 10 to 11 GHz, and 11 to 12 GHz, to the frequency conversion circuit 40. The circuit design of four second amplifiers 305 after the first power splitter 303 can increase the power of multiple signals.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the receiver may further include a frequency conversion circuit 40, which is configured to perform frequency conversion and filtering on each channel of continuous frequency band signals to obtain corresponding intermediate frequency signals.

[0033] Specifically, the frequency conversion circuit 40 includes at least one sub-frequency conversion circuit, and the number of the sub-frequency conversion circuits is the same as the number of the second filters 304. Each sub-frequency conversion circuit includes a mixer 401, a third filter 402 and a second amplifier 403, wherein the mixer 401 is used to mix the received continuous frequency band signal with the local oscillator source signal to obtain a mixed signal and send the mixed signal; the third filter 402 is used to filter the received mixed signal to obtain a second filtered signal and send the second filtered signal; the second amplifier 403 is used to amplify the received second filtered signal to obtain an intermediate frequency signal.

[0034] For example, Figure 3As shown, the frequency conversion circuit 40 includes one input port and one output port. The input port receives a radio frequency signal in the corresponding frequency range, and after down-conversion, filtering, and amplification by the built-in local oscillator, outputs an intermediate frequency signal with a frequency range of 1.3 to 2.3 GHz to the intermediate frequency power splitter and phase shifter channel circuit 50. When the input frequency range of the frequency conversion circuit 40 is 8 to 9 GHz, the frequency of the built-in local oscillator is 10.3 GHz; when the input frequency range of the frequency conversion circuit 40 is 9 to 10 GHz, the frequency of the built-in local oscillator is 11.3 GHz; when the input frequency range of the frequency conversion circuit 40 is 10 to 11 GHz, the frequency of the built-in local oscillator is 12.3 GHz; and when the input frequency range of the frequency conversion circuit 40 is 11 to 12 GHz, the frequency of the built-in local oscillator is 13.3 GHz.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the receiver may further include an intermediate frequency power division and phase shift channel circuit 50, which is used to perform power division and phase shift processing on each input intermediate frequency signal to obtain at least one corresponding intermediate frequency signal, and the phase difference between two adjacent intermediate frequency signals belongs to a preset range.

[0036] Specifically, the intermediate frequency power division phase shift channel circuit 50 includes at least one sub-phase shift circuit, and the number of the sub-phase shift circuits is the same as the number of the sub-frequency conversion circuits. Each sub-phase shift circuit includes a second power divider 501 and multiple phase shifters 502, wherein the second power divider 501 is used to perform power distribution on the received intermediate frequency signal to obtain at least two second power division signals and send each second power division signal; the multiple phase shifters 502 are used to perform phase shift processing on each received second power division signal respectively to obtain each sub-intermediate frequency signal accordingly.

[0037] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the IF power splitter and phase shifter channel circuit 50 includes one input port and two output ports. The input port receives an IF signal between 1.3 and 2.3 GHz. After power splitting and phase shifting, two IF signals, a and b, are generated, each with a phase difference within a preset range, and then transmitted to the IF combining circuit 10. The preset phase ranges for the IF power splitter and phase shifter channel circuit 50 can be -180° to -90°, -90° to -0°, 0° to 90°, and 90° to 180°.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 includes at least two combiners 101 and single-pole single-switch groups 102 respectively connected to the input ends of each combiner 101, and fourth filters 103 respectively connected to the output ends of each combiner 101; the single-pole single-switch groups 102 have at least two single-pole single switches, each of which is used to select a sub-intermediate frequency signal in response to a preset instruction and transmit the sub-intermediate frequency signal; each combiner 101 is used to combine at least one sub-intermediate frequency signal to obtain a combined signal, and transmit the combined signal; each fourth filter 103 is used to filter each received combined signal to obtain an intermediate frequency combined signal.

[0039] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the intermediate frequency combining circuit 10 includes four input ports and one output port. The input port receives the intermediate frequency signal of 1.3 to 2.3 GHz, which is then processed by switching, combining, and filtering before being sent to the dual-channel ADC circuit 20. The intermediate frequency combining circuit (1) processes the first sub-intermediate frequency signals in the intermediate frequency power division phase shift channel circuit, and the intermediate frequency combining circuit (2) processes the second sub-intermediate frequency signals in the intermediate frequency power division phase shift channel circuit.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 includes a programmable logic device 201 and at least two analog-to-digital converters 202 connected to the input end of the programmable logic device 201, and the number of the analog-to-digital converters 202 is equal to the number of combiners 101; the analog-to-digital converter 202 is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion on a received intermediate frequency combined signal to obtain a digital signal; the programmable logic device 201 is used to demodulate each digital signal in response to a preset instruction to obtain a first target signal to a fourth target signal.

[0041] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the programmable logic device can be an FPGA, and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 includes two input ports and one output port. The input port receives an intermediate frequency signal of 1.3 to 2.3 GHz, and after analog-to-digital conversion and data processing, the output signal is a PDW code.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the receiver operating mode can be reconfigured.

[0043] Full-band instantaneous 4GHz mode: The receiver sets the single-pole single switches (1) to (8) in the intermediate frequency combiner circuit 10 to full selection, and the dual-channel ADC circuit 20 determines the actual frequency of the target signal by comparing the phase difference of the homologous signal between channels 1 and 2, and then according to the intermediate frequency value and the interval to which the phase difference value between channels 1 and 2 belongs.

[0044] High-sensitivity sweep frequency 2GHz mode: The receiver sequentially selects the two channels corresponding to the continuous radio frequency by the single-pole single switches (1) to (8) in the intermediate frequency combiner circuit 10, such as (1)(6), (3)(6), (3)(8) and (1)(8), and transmits them to the dual-channel ADC circuit 20. The two analog-to-digital converters 202 respectively determine the actual frequency of the target signal according to the selection switch code and the intermediate frequency value, so that the receiver can achieve instantaneous 2GHz sweep frequency operation in the X band. Since only one channel of the intermediate frequency combiner circuit 10 is selected at the same time, compared with the full-band instantaneous 4GHz mode, the noise is not power-synthesized, the receiver signal-to-noise ratio is better, and the sensitivity is improved by 6dB.

[0045] High-Sensitivity Swept-Frequency Fixed-Frequency 1GHz Mode: Based on mission requirements, the receiver selects one of its IF combiner circuits 10 to select a fixed single-pole single-switch to receive the corresponding 1GHz RF channel, while the other IF combiner circuit performs a 1GHz bandwidth sweep across the remaining three frequency bands. This enables real-time monitoring of key target frequency bands and full-band scanning coverage. Because only one IF combiner circuit 10 is selected at a time, compared to the full-band instantaneous 4GHz mode, noise is not power-combined, resulting in an improved receiver signal-to-noise ratio and a 6dB increase in sensitivity.

[0046] High-Sensitivity Fixed-Frequency 2GHz Mode: Based on mission requirements, the receiver selects each of the 10 IF combiner circuits to receive the corresponding 1GHz RF channel using a fixed single-pole single-switch, enabling real-time monitoring of two key target frequency bands. Since only one of the 10 IF combiner circuits is selected at a time, compared to the full-band instantaneous 4GHz mode, noise is not power-combined, resulting in a better receiver signal-to-noise ratio and a 6dB increase in sensitivity.

[0047] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
