Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of radio direction finding technology, and in particular to a miniaturized multi-channel direction finding receiving device. Background Art
[0002] Modern reconnaissance and direction-finding receivers face numerous challenges within traditional, bloated systems. They operate over a wide and high frequency band, ranging from hundreds of MHz to tens of GHz. However, due to the limitations of existing analog-to-digital converters, direct digital processing at the antenna backend is impossible. Typically, a superheterodyne receiver is employed, which involves downconverting the RF signal from the antenna to an intermediate frequency (IF) before processing. However, during this process, the IF signal reaching the phase detector must pass through numerous modules, including the antenna unit, RF channel, and frequency conversion channel. The sheer number of these modules and the bulky design of traditional systems make it difficult to ensure consistent amplitude and phase characteristics. Furthermore, variations in the length of the local oscillator connecting cables can cause significant phase variations due to the system's size and complexity.

[0039] Table 1 Pin connection relationship of miniaturized multi-channel direction finding receiver
[0040]
[0041] The calibration antenna can be used to receive signals from the calibration module and perform external loop calibration and other operations.
[0042] In some embodiments, the signal processing module acquires RF signals via switch 1, uses filters 1-10 to transmit the filtered signals through a frequency conversion channel to an analog-to-digital conversion unit for analog-to-digital conversion, and uses switch 12 to send the converted signals to the signal processing module. The signal processing module uses an ADC transceiver chip to receive and store the signals and control the calibration signal source, generating corresponding carrier signals and amplitude information to facilitate the corresponding operating frequency bands of the antenna and power divider. The signals received in the corresponding frequency band of the antenna are transmitted to the switch matrix for switching the corresponding frequency band selection and channel output, and then returned to the channel receiver (downconverter) to generate the corresponding intermediate frequency output signal, which is then transmitted to the intermediate frequency receiving (IF) unit of the corresponding channel. The signal processing module completes the calibration process when it monitors the corresponding frequency band carrier signal and amplitude information generated by the control.
[0043] In some embodiments, a miniaturized multi-channel direction finding receiving device may further include a switch matrix unit and a direction finding channel unit.
[0044] The switch matrix unit comprises several key components that work together to achieve efficient signal processing and distribution. The antenna matching feed, an integrated channel in the switch matrix, applies DC power to the RF cable, which in turn feeds the antenna's receiving signal, ensuring proper antenna operation and excellent signal reception. The low-noise amplifier (LNA) amplifies the signal gain of the corresponding signal channel connected to the antenna, enhancing signal strength while minimizing noise interference and improving signal quality. The monitoring selector switch connects to the corresponding antenna receiving channel, switching between monitoring and direction-finding functions for flexible signal flow adjustment in different operating modes. The power splitter connects to the corresponding output port of the calibration source and distributes the calibration source's output signal with consistent amplitude and phase, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all channels. The single-pole double switch (SPDS) divides the frequency and amplitude information of the calibration source integrated into the miniaturized multi-channel receiver into two, providing optimal signal distribution for subsequent signal processing and calibration operations.
[0045] The direction-finding channel unit encompasses multiple functional modules that work together to perform signal processing and direction-finding functions. The RF operating mode switching unit is responsible for flexibly switching RF operating modes based on system requirements, adapting to varying signal environments and operating requirements. The frequency conversion unit is responsible for converting received RF signals to a frequency suitable for subsequent processing, ensuring that the signals can be effectively analyzed and processed within the system. The reference unit provides a stable reference signal for the entire direction-finding channel, ensuring accurate and consistent signal processing. The system clock unit provides a unified clock signal to each module within the direction-finding channel unit, ensuring that they operate collaboratively and in a synchronized manner, improving overall system performance and stability.
[0046] In the switch matrix unit assembly, the antenna matching feed ensures the stability of the antenna receiving signal, laying a good foundation for subsequent signal processing. The low-noise amplifier effectively improves the signal strength, and its gain amplification factor can be optimized according to actual needs, while reducing noise interference and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The integrated design of each unit module reduces the number of connecting components and external interfaces, reducing the probability of failure caused by loose connections, poor contact and other problems. By integrating all unit modules into a small integrated device, the size and weight of the equipment are reduced. Compared with traditional systems, the device of the present invention can be reduced in size by 300% and in weight by 200%, making it easy to carry and move, and suitable for a variety of scenarios, such as field operations, temporary monitoring points, etc. This makes the deployment of the equipment in different environments more convenient and improves the versatility and practicality of the equipment.
[0047] In some embodiments, a miniaturized multi-channel direction finding receiving device may further include a switch control unit, an inner loop calibration unit, an outer loop calibration unit, and a temperature compensation unit; wherein, the switch control unit is connected to one end of the switch matrix, the other end of the switch matrix is connected to the signal receiving module through the direction finding channel unit, and the inner loop calibration unit and the outer loop calibration unit are connected to the signal processing module.
[0048] In some embodiments, the inner loop calibration unit and the outer loop calibration unit are connected to the intermediate frequency processor via a voltage conversion unit of the signal processing module.
[0049] In some embodiments, the output of the calibration source is fed back to the switch matrix through the calibration antenna to control the operation of the switch matrix.
[0050] The switch control unit can be used to control the switching of switches in each signal receiving component.
[0051] When the switch is switched to the second signal input terminal, the inner loop calibration unit can perform phase detection on the signals output by the reference channel and the phase measurement channel through the analog-to-digital conversion module at different temperatures, obtain the phase errors of each phase measurement channel at different temperatures, form an inner loop calibration table and save it.
[0052] When the switch is switched to the first signal input terminal, the external loop calibration unit can perform phase detection on the signals output by the reference channel and the phase measurement channel through the analog-to-digital conversion module in a darkroom, obtain the phase error of the signal receiving component where each phase measurement channel is located at the current temperature, form an external loop calibration table and save it.
[0053] The temperature compensation unit can use the outer loop calibration table to compensate the inner loop calibration table, obtain the phase error of the signal receiving component where each phase measurement channel is located at different temperatures, generate a phase correction table and save it for use in direction finding phase calibration.
[0054] In some embodiments, the inner loop calibration process is that the signal processing module controls the calibration source to generate a point frequency modulated pulse signal with a step of 1 MHz within the working frequency band, and at the same time controls the switch of each signal receiving component to switch to the second signal input terminal. The calibration source signal enters the frequency conversion channel of each component through the power divider and is transmitted to the signal processing module. The signal processing module calculates the phase error of the reference and phase measurement channel output signals at different temperatures to generate an inner loop calibration table for storage.
[0055] In some embodiments, the external loop calibration process is as follows: the signal processing module controls the calibration source to generate a point frequency modulated pulse signal with a step of 1 MHz within the working frequency band, the control switch is switched to the first signal input terminal, the calibration source signal is transmitted through the calibration antenna, and the receiving signal of each component enters the frequency conversion channel through the relevant components and is transmitted to the signal processing module. The signal processing module calculates the phase error of the component where each phase measurement channel is located at the current temperature for phase detection of the reference and phase measurement channel output signals in a darkroom to generate an external loop calibration table for storage.
[0056] In some embodiments, the temperature compensation process involves the following: the signal processing module uses information from the inner and outer loop calibration tables to subtract the phase error of the phase measurement channel from the phase error of the component at the same temperature to obtain a difference (i.e., the phase error caused by the component corresponding to that channel). The inner loop calibration table is then used to compensate for this difference at various temperatures, obtaining the phase errors of the components in each phase measurement channel at different temperatures. This is then used to generate a phase correction table for direction finding phase calibration. The outer loop calibration table is calibrated at a temperature set to T (e.g., T1). The inner loop calibration table contains the phase errors of the phase measurement channels at multiple temperatures (e.g., T1, T2, T3, and Tn). The subtraction operation is performed at T1, and the component phase errors at other temperatures are then calculated to produce the final phase correction table.
