Due to the high-frequency properties of missile-borne antennas, the far-field phase matching accuracy is very high, and the coaxiality between the antenna and the horn has a great influence on the phase matching results. At this time, simple phase matching methods are difficult to ensure the phase matching accuracy of high-frequency antennas due to long alignment time and large external interference, and it is difficult to meet the phase matching task.

[0050] In this exemplary embodiment, a rapid alignment device for far-field phase matching of a missile-borne antenna 20 is first provided. Figure 1 to Figure 6 , including: a first bracket 100 and a second bracket 200, a first fine-tuning mechanism 300 and a second fine-tuning mechanism 400, a turntable 500, a first rotating mechanism 600 and a second rotating mechanism 700.

[0051] Specifically, the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 are arranged facing each other, and the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 are respectively used to carry other components, and the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 have the same height and can move horizontally to adjust the distance between the horn antenna 10 and the missile-borne antenna 20. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 are respectively provided with a first fine-tuning mechanism 300 and a second fine-tuning mechanism 400, and the two fine-tuning mechanisms are used to adjust the horizontality and height of the respective antennas. The second fine-tuning mechanism 400 is provided with a turntable 500 for adjusting the angle of the second rotating mechanism 700 and the missile-borne antenna 20.

[0052] The first rotating mechanism 600 and the second rotating mechanism 700 are both arranged vertically. The first rotating mechanism 600 is arranged on the first fine-tuning mechanism 300 , and the second rotating mechanism 700 is arranged on the turntable 500 .

[0053] The specific structures of the first rotating mechanism 600 and the second rotating mechanism 700 are described below respectively.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first rotating mechanism 600 includes: a first fixed plate 601, a first rotating bearing 602, a first limiting structure 603 and a rotating shaft 604.

[0055] The first fixing plate 601 is provided with two first limit blocks 6011, a first through hole 6012 and three targets 6013. The two first limit blocks 6011 are on the same horizontal line, and are used to limit the position of the horn antenna 10. Three targets 6013 are provided on the surface of the first fixing plate 601, and the three targets 6013 are not arranged in a colinear manner, for example, the connection line between the three targets can be an equilateral triangle relationship, but it is not limited thereto.

[0056] In order to rotate the horn antenna 10 in the vertical direction, the following settings are performed:

[0057] The outer ring of the first rotating bearing 602 is fixedly arranged at the first through hole 6012. The first limiting structure 603 is provided with a second through hole 6031 and a first protrusion 6032. The rotating shaft 604 passes through the second through hole 6031 and is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the first rotating bearing 602. The first limiting structure 603 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 604. The first limiting block 6011 is used to limit the first protrusion 6032; the end of the rotating shaft 604 away from the first rotating bearing 602 is provided with a mounting plate 605, and the mounting plate 605 is used to install the horn antenna 10. The specific structure of the mounting plate 605 is not limited here.

[0058] The first fixing plate 601 and the first limiting structure 603 are both provided with a pin hole 800, and the pin hole 800 is used to penetrate the positioning pin 801. When the positioning pin 801 penetrates the pin hole 800, the first fixing plate 601 and the first limiting structure 603 cannot rotate, and thus the position of the horn antenna 10 cannot be changed.

[0059] It can be understood from the above embodiments that the process of the horn antenna 10 rotating in the vertical direction is as follows:

[0060] The first limiting structure 603 is rotated (the mounting plate 605 can also be directly rotated). Since the first limiting structure 603 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the first rotating bearing 602 through the rotating shaft 604, the horn antenna 10 is fixedly connected relative to the first limiting structure 603. Therefore, the first limiting structure 603 will drive the horn antenna 10 to rotate. When the first limiting structure 603 rotates, the first protrusion 6032 thereon is blocked by the first limiting block 6011. At this time, the horn antenna 10 is located in the first position, and then the positioning pin 801 is inserted into the pin hole 800 to fix the position of the horn antenna 10. After the positioning pin 801 is pulled out, the position of the horn antenna 10 can continue to be adjusted, and rotated 90° clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0061] In order to rotate the missile-borne antenna 20 in the vertical direction, the following settings are performed:

[0062] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second rotating mechanism 700 includes: a second fixing plate 701 , a second rotating bearing 702 and a second limiting structure 703 .

[0063] The second fixing plate 701 is provided with two second limiting blocks 7011, a third through hole 7012 and three groups of light beam emitting devices 7013. The two second limiting blocks 7011 are located on the same horizontal line, and are used to limit the position of the missile-borne antenna 20.

[0064] The three groups of beam emitting devices 7013 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the three targets 6013, and each group of beam emitting devices 7013 includes at least two beam emitting devices 7013. The outer ring of the second rotating bearing 702 is fixedly arranged at the third through hole 7012, the inner ring of the second rotating bearing 702 is fixedly connected to the second limiting structure 703, the second limiting structure 703 is provided with a second protrusion 7031, and the second limiting block 7011 is used to limit the second protrusion 7031; the end of the second limiting structure 703 away from the second rotating bearing 702 is used to install the missile-borne antenna 20; the second fixing plate 701 and the second limiting structure 703 are both provided with a pin hole 800, and the pin hole 800 is used to penetrate the positioning pin 801.

[0065] By rotating the second limiting structure 703, the missile-borne antenna 20 is driven to rotate, and when it rotates to the second limiting block 7011, the positioning pin 801 is inserted into the pin hole 800 to position the missile-borne antenna 20 to the first position. After removing the positioning pin 801, the missile-borne antenna 20 can be rotated 90° clockwise or counterclockwise, and the positioning pin 801 is still used for positioning after the rotation.

[0066] In this embodiment, the horn antenna 10 can be rotated in the vertical direction by using the cooperation of the first fixing plate 601 and the first limiting structure 603, and the missile-borne antenna 20 can be rotated in the vertical direction by using the cooperation of the second fixing plate 701 and the second limiting structure 703, and then the alignment of the two antennas is completed by using the correspondence between the light beam emitting device 7013 and the target 6013; the two antennas can also be rotated to perform phase matching. The present application is suitable for the far-field phase matching of various small missile-borne antennas 20, does not rely on a specialized test darkroom, and reduces costs; can quickly and efficiently achieve the alignment of the missile-borne antenna 20 and the horn antenna 10; and can also reduce the phase matching error caused by the antenna flipping, avoiding secondary disassembly and assembly.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments, the fine-tuning process of the fine-tuning mechanism of the present application is described.

[0068] The first fine-tuning mechanism 300 and the second fine-tuning mechanism 400 are connected to the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 respectively through a plurality of threaded rods 900, and the height and level of the first fine-tuning mechanism 300 and the second fine-tuning mechanism 400 are adjusted by rotating the threaded rods 900. The threaded rods 900 may be fine threads for improving the adjustment accuracy.

[0069] Optionally, in some embodiments, the pin hole 800 on the first limiting structure 603 is set on the first protrusion 6032, and the pin hole 800 on the second limiting structure 703 is set on the second protrusion 7031. The positioning pin 801 is passed through the pin hole 800 to achieve the positioning of the antenna and prevent the antenna from deflecting. The first protrusion 6032 and the second protrusion 7031 can be arc-shaped, for example, an arc with a central angle of 90°; or any shape, which is not limited here.

[0070] Typically, the beam emitting device 7013 is a laser light source, and the laser beam has good directivity and high brightness, and is suitable for calibration work. Furthermore, each set of beam emitting devices 7013 is equipped with two laser light sources, and the angle α between the beam emission directions of the two laser light sources is an acute angle, that is, the two laser beams can overlap. It should be noted that the angle is determined by the distance between the horn antenna 10 and the missile-borne antenna 20.

[0071] In addition, please refer to Figure 4The turntable 500 is provided with a heat dissipation mechanism 501 , which may be a heat dissipation module composed of a fan, for cooling the missile-borne antenna 20 .

[0072] This embodiment secondly provides a rapid alignment method for far-field phase matching of a missile-borne antenna 20, using any of the above-mentioned alignment devices to align the horn antenna 10 and the missile-borne antenna 20, and the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0073] S101, roughly adjust the first fine-adjusting mechanism 300 to a horizontal position, and fine-adjust the second fine-adjusting mechanism 400 to a horizontal position. Specifically, the adjustment can be performed by utilizing the height of the threaded rod 900 on each fine-adjusting mechanism.

[0074] S102, fix the missile-borne antenna 20 and the horn antenna 10 at their respective first positions using the positioning pins 801. When the antenna is at the first position, the antenna is on a working surface that needs to be aligned.

[0075] S103, according to the high frequency requirement of the missile-borne antenna 20 and the distance between the missile-borne antenna 20 and the horn antenna 10, determine the angle formed by the emission directions of the light beams in each group of light beam emission devices 7013. Turn on the first group of light beam emission devices 7013, so that the emission directions of the light beams in the group are adjusted according to the angle, and the light beams in the group intersect at the first point.

[0076] S104, adjusting the position of the horn antenna 10 so that the first point is located at the first target 6013 of the first fixing plate 601. That is, by adjusting the position of the horn antenna 10, the intersection point of each light beam of the first group is located at the target 6013.

[0077] S105, turn on the second group of light beam emitting devices 7013, adjust the emission direction of each light beam in the group according to the included angle, and make each light beam in the group intersect at a second point; adjust the position of the horn antenna 10 so that the second point is located at the second target 6013 of the first fixed plate 601.

[0078] S106, turn on the third group of light beam emitting devices 7013, adjust the emission direction of each light beam in the group according to the included angle, and make the light beams in the group intersect at the third point; adjust the position of the horn antenna 10 so that the third point is located at the third target 6013 of the first fixed plate 601.

[0079] S107, fine-tune the first fine-tune mechanism 300 so that the first point, the second point and the third point coincide with the center of the first target 6013, the second target 6013 and the third target 6013 respectively, so that the axes of the missile-borne antenna 20 and the horn antenna 10 are aligned.

[0080] In this embodiment, a fine-tuning mechanism is used to keep the antenna horizontal, the intersection of the light beams emitted by the light beam emitting device 7013 is centered one by one with the three targets 6013, and the principle of three points forming a plane is used to make the end face of the horn antenna 10 and the antenna array surface of the missile-borne antenna 20 parallel; the fine-tuning mechanism is used to align the intersection of the light beams with the target 6013 in height to ensure the coaxiality of the two antennas.

[0081] In some embodiments, after the coaxiality adjustment is completed, the positioning pin 801 can be removed to rotate the two antennas 90° so that the two antennas are located at the second position, and the positioning pin 801 is inserted to align the H surface and E surface of the antenna.

[0082] In this embodiment, during the process of matching the antenna, the antenna does not need to be disassembled for a second time, thus saving steps and reducing errors caused by external interference to the antenna.

[0083] In summary, in order to solve the problem of low cost and fast alignment of the far-field phase matching of the missile-borne antenna 20, the present application proposes a far-field phase matching device suitable for a variety of missile-borne antennas 20. The use of light beam alignment is intuitive and convenient to improve the convenience of operation, save preliminary preparation time, and improve the phase matching efficiency. The use of a rotating mechanism avoids phase matching errors and improves the phase matching accuracy. The whole set of equipment has a simple structure, low cost, and is suitable for a wide range of occasions and is suitable for most missile-borne far-field phase matching.

[0084] The application has low cost, simple parts and small investment; strong compatibility, the system can work in an existing large microwave darkroom or be used in an open area; fast response speed, the missile-borne antenna 20 is fixed, the horn antenna 10 is adjusted, and the three-group light beam positioning is more efficient, intuitive and faster than other measurement methods such as ranging; the external environment has little impact, avoiding secondary disassembly and assembly, and the use of a rotating mechanism can ensure that the missile-borne antenna 20 and the horn antenna 10 are not touched, reducing errors caused by external interference.
