Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microwave technology, and in particular to a method and system for testing the amplitude and phase characteristics of plane waves in a compact quiet zone, which can be used for compact quiet zone testing and performance analysis. Background Art
[0002] Compact field test technology is a test method commonly used for high-performance radar antennas, radome characteristics testing, and radar target RCS measurement. It has significant advantages such as wide test range, high accuracy, and convenient operation. Especially with the rapid development of millimeter wave, submillimeter wave, and even terahertz frequency bands, more and more high-frequency large-size antennas are being used, and the far-field measurement distance is also greatly improved. However, such a large microwave darkroom is difficult to build, and if you choose to test outdoors, the outdoor environment will cause great interference to the test. Compact field technology is to greatly reduce the test distance after processing by certain technical methods, so as to reduce the demand for the size of the test site. Due to the convenience of the compact field antenna test method, it does not require a large site, can be deployed in a darkroom, and is not easily affected by the environment, and the measurement accuracy will also be increased. However, the quiet zone performance of different compact field systems is also quite different, and it is difficult for users to test the compact field quiet zone independently.
[0003] The patent document with publication number CN116559753A discloses a system and method for automatic calibration of the amplitude and phase characteristics of plane waves in a compact quiet zone. The system controls the microwave amplitude and phase units to measure the amplitude and phase information of different sampling points in the quiet zone at different frequencies, and calculates the amplitude and phase unevenness of the quiet zone field. However, this method requires the installation of a scanning system, which is difficult and costly to test, and the scanning frame needs to be placed within the compact test range. This larger scanning frame itself will interfere with the electromagnetic waves, causing errors in the measurement results that are difficult to eliminate.
[0004] The patent document with publication number CN108009355B discloses a method for analyzing the characteristic spectrum of the quiet zone of a spherical array in a darkroom, which designs the feed antenna, the reflector and the spherical array model according to the frequency band and the size of the compact field, extracts the electric field distribution of the quiet zone field sampling point through electromagnetic simulation software, and then calculates the angular spectrum distribution of the quiet zone field, and analyzes the diffraction field distribution according to the angular spectrum of the quiet zone field. However, this method is only simulated by electromagnetic simulation software, and does not consider the problems that may exist in actual testing, so it is difficult to apply to the actual testing of the compact field. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and to propose a method and system for testing the amplitude and phase characteristics of a plane wave in a compact quiet zone based on scattering measurement, so as to reduce the measurement complexity and improve the quiet zone test accuracy.
[0006] The technical idea for achieving the purpose of the present invention is: by dividing the sampling points in the area to be tested, measuring the single-station scattering data of the standard scatterer at different sampling points, thereby reducing the measurement complexity; filtering out the environmental clutter through the time domain gate method and compensating the scattering data after the clutter is filtered out by the scattering compensation matrix, thereby improving the quiet zone test accuracy.
[0007] According to the above ideas, the implementation scheme of the present invention includes the following:
[0008] Divide the coordinates of the area to be tested in the compact field and determine the spatial sampling points;
[0009] Measure the single-station scattering data of the standard scatterer at all spatial sampling points;
[0010] The clutter in the single-station scattering data is filtered out by the range gate method to obtain the target scattering field time domain data U'(q,t);
[0011] Antenna pattern through compact field feed and sampling point P q (x q ,y q ,z q ) when the scattered wave of the standard scatterer is received by the receiving antenna Construct the target scattered field compensation matrix B(q,n);
[0012] The target scattered field is compensated by the target scattered field compensation matrix B(q,n), and the amplitude and phase characteristics of the quiet zone plane wave are calculated using the compensated target scattered field, and the range of the compact field quiet zone is determined using the amplitude and phase characteristics;
[0013] Where θ is the pitch angle, is the azimuth, t is the time dimension, q=1,2…,Q, Q is the total number of sampling points, (x q ,y q ,z q ) is the spatial coordinate of the qth sampling point, θ q is the incident elevation angle when the scattered wave of the standard scatterer at the qth sampling point is received by the receiving antenna, is the incident azimuth angle when the scattered wave of the standard scatterer at the qth sampling point is received by the receiving antenna.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] Firstly, the present invention fixes the standard scatterer by means of a drone or a small guide rail to measure the single-station scattering data of the standard scatterer. Compared with the traditional probe scanning method, the measuring device is simpler and the measuring method is simpler.
[0016] Secondly, the present invention performs compact field quiet zone amplitude and phase characteristic test based on scattering measurement. Different from the traditional probe scanning method which utilizes radiation data and is difficult to eliminate the influence of environmental clutter and measuring equipment in the microwave darkroom on the measurement results, the present invention can suppress clutter interference through the "range gate" method to achieve high-precision test of compact field quiet zone amplitude and phase characteristics.

[0024] In order to more clearly describe the technical solution and effects of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
[0025] Example 1: A method for testing the amplitude and phase characteristics of plane waves in a compact quiet zone based on scattering measurements.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , the implementation steps of this example are as follows:
[0027] Step 1: Build a compact field model and determine the sampling points in the area to be tested.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 , the implementation of this step is as follows:
[0029] 1.1) Set up the simulation model
[0030] This example uses Altair Feko simulation software to set up a sawtooth reflector made of an ideal conductor. The reflector is a parabola with a focal length of 4.8m. The vertex of the parabola is located at (0,0,0), and the focus is located at (4.8,0,0). A rectangular part above the XOY plane with a size of 3.3m×3.3m is intercepted as the main body of the parabola. Triangular sawtooth is set on the edge to suppress edge diffraction interference. The sawtooth is 0.9m long and 0.4125m wide. The size of the entire reflector is 5.1m×5.1m. Two corrugated horn antennas, one for transmission and one for reception, are placed at the focus of the reflector. The phase center of the transmitting antenna is placed at the focus, and the receiving antenna is placed below the transmitting antenna, with the antenna pointing to the center of the reflector. A metal plate with a size of 0.3m×0.4m is placed parallel to the transmitting antenna.
[0031] A voltage source is used to feed the antenna unit, and the sweep frequency range of the antenna unit feeding is set to 4 GHz to 4.5 GHz, and the number of frequency points is N=81, that is, the frequency interval is 6.25 MHz.
[0032] 1.2) Determine the spatial sampling points
[0033] The propagation direction of the electromagnetic wave is determined to be the X direction, the direction perpendicular to the propagation direction of the electromagnetic wave in the horizontal plane of space is the Y direction, the upward direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane in space is the Z direction, and the vertex of the parabola is used as the coordinate origin to establish a right-handed spatial rectangular coordinate system; the area to be measured is determined to be a 4m long straight line with Z=2.75m and X=10m, and the sampling points are 41 points evenly distributed from Y=-2m to Y=2m.
[0034] These sampling points can be set according to the needs of the space to be tested. This data is only an example in this instance.
[0035] Step 2: Measure the single-station scattering data of the metal plate.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 , the implementation of this step includes the following:
[0037] 2.1) According to the above determined 4 GHz to 4.5 GHz frequency sweep range, at the spatial sampling point P q (x q ,y q ,z q ) is placed at the YOZ plane, with a rectangular metal plate of 0.1m×0.1m in size. The metal plate is parallel to the YOZ plane, and two metal plates are placed above the metal plate as interference sources.
[0038] 2.2) Measure the rectangular metal plate at the sampling point P q The single-station scattering amplitude A at q,n (x q ,y q ,z q ,fn ) and phase Phi q,n (x q ,y q ,z q ,f n ), where f n is the measurement frequency, n=1,2,…,N;
[0039] 2.3) Move the rectangular metal plate to the next sampling point and repeat step 2.2) until the scattering amplitude A(q,n) and phase Phi(q,n) at all sampling points are obtained:
[0040]
[0041] Step 3: Filter out clutter using the range gate method.
[0042] 3.1) Integrate the target scattering amplitude and phase data into a complex matrix I(q,n):
[0043] I(q,n)=A(q,n)exp(jPhi(q,n))
[0044] Wherein, j represents the sign of the imaginary part;
[0045] 3.2) Perform an inverse Fourier transform on the frequency dimension of the complex matrix I(q,n) to obtain the one-dimensional distance image U(q,t):
[0046] U(q,t)=IFFT(I(q,n),2)
[0047] Where t represents the time dimension, t = (0:N-1) / Br, Br is the bandwidth, Br = f N -f1, IFFT(I(q,n),2) means to perform inverse Fourier transform on each column of the matrix I(q,n);
[0048] 3.3) Calculate the propagation distance R(q) and propagation delay t of the electromagnetic wave from the feed source to the metal target according to the sampling point position of the metal plate q :
[0049]
[0050] Where c is the speed of light, (x j ,y j ,z j ) is the focal coordinate of the reflection surface, (x' q ,y' q ,z' q ) is the coordinate of a point on the reflection surface and x' q =x q , y′ q =yq , J is the focal length of the reflecting surface;
[0051] 3.3) At t = t q Add a time domain gate to filter out clutter and obtain the filtered target scattering field time domain data U'(q,t):
[0052] U'(q,t)=U(q,t)·H(t)
[0053] Where H(t) is a rectangular window function.
[0054] Step 4: Construct the target scattered field compensation matrix.
[0055] Although the existing probe scanning method does not need to rely on the compensation matrix for compensation, it has the problems of greater measurement difficulty and inability to effectively filter out clutter interference. The method of the present invention measures the target scattering field data to calculate the amplitude and phase characteristics of the compact field quiet zone, and needs to construct a compensation matrix in combination with the directional pattern of the feed antenna for compensation. The construction steps include the following:
[0056] 4.1) Measuring the antenna pattern of the compact feeder Where θ is the pitch angle, is the azimuth;
[0057] 4.2) Calculate the incident angle θ when the scattered wave of the metal target at the sampling point is received by the receiving antenna q and
[0058] θ q =angle((x' q ,y' q ,z' q ),(x' q ,0,J),(0,0,0))
[0059]
[0060] Among them, angle(a,b,c) is the angle between the three points with point b as the vertex, J is the focal length of the reflection surface, (x' q ,y' q ,z' q ) is the coordinate of a point on the reflection surface and x' q =x q ,y' q =y q ,
[0061] 4.3) Take the incident angle θ calculated in step 4.2) q and Antenna pattern at the feed The reciprocal of the corresponding value in The value is normalized according to the sampling point dimension as the compensation matrix B(q,n):
[0062]
[0063] Among them, normal2(K) means normalizing each column of matrix K, and K is an arbitrary matrix.
[0064] Step 5: Compensate for the target scattered field.
[0065] 5.1) Perform Fourier transform on the target scattered field time domain data matrix U'(q,t) obtained in step 3.3) after filtering out clutter to obtain frequency domain data I'(q,n):
[0066] I'(q,n)=FFT(U'(q,t),2)
[0067] Among them, FFT(U'(q,t),2) means Fourier transform of each column of the matrix U'(q,t);
[0068] 5.2) Multiply the scattering data I'(q,n) obtained in step 5.1) by the compensation matrix and normalize it to obtain the compensated result IB(q,n):
[0069] IB(q,n)=normal2(I'(q,n)·B(q,n))
[0070] Among them, normal2(K) means normalizing each column of matrix K, and K is an arbitrary matrix.
[0071] Step 6: Use the compensated target scattered field data to calculate the quiet zone plane wave amplitude and phase characteristics, and use the amplitude and phase characteristics to determine the compact field quiet zone range.
[0072] 6.1) Use the compensated result IB(q,n) obtained in step 5.2) to calculate the amplitude A'(q,n) and phase Phi'(q,n):
[0073] A'(q,n)=|IB(q,n)|
[0074]
[0075] Among them, arctan(·) represents the inverse tangent function, Im(·) represents taking the imaginary part of the complex number, and Re(·) represents taking the real part of the complex number.
[0076] 6.2) Find the sampling point P q (x q ,y q ,z q) The amplitude result A'(q,n) fluctuates less than ±0.5dB, and the phase result Phi'(q,n) fluctuates less than ±10°, that is, the compact field quiet zone.
