Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of passive phased array signal processing, and particularly to a method and system for extracting row and column phases of a passive phased array. Background Art

[0002] A passive phased array is a phased array technology that does not rely on an external power source for phase control. Usually, by utilizing the natural radiation characteristics of the antenna array, beam control and adjustment can be achieved. This technology has important applications in fields such as radar, communication, and radio wave detection. In a passive phased array system, precise adjustment of the phase of the array and data storage are the keys to achieving specific signal processing tasks.

[0003] Traditional passive phased array phase adjustment methods usually adopt a point-by-point adjustment method, and the phase of each array element is adjusted manually or through a simple automation program. This method is not only inefficient, but also due to the lack of a systematic optimization strategy and the relatively close distance between the probe and the antenna, the adjusted phase accuracy and accuracy are often insufficient, resulting in its inability to meet the requirements of complex signal processing. In addition, traditional methods also have defects in data storage, and can only record limited phase data, unable to comprehensively reflect the phase characteristics of the array under different working conditions.

[0004] In summary, the traditional passive phased array phase adjustment method has the following defects:

[0005] 1. Low phase adjustment accuracy: Traditional methods are difficult to accurately adjust the phase and extract data, resulting in poor signal processing effects;

[0006] 2. Incomplete data storage: Unable to comprehensively record phase data, which is not conducive to subsequent analysis and optimization;

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment provides a method for extracting row and column phases of a passive phased array, including:

[0047] S1: Control the passive phased array to perform far-field optimization row by row and column by column with the far-field array and the maximum gain as the optimization targets, and obtain the maximum gain phase matrix;

[0048] This step requires performing row and column gain optimization operations to prepare for subsequent phase adjustment and data processing. During row and column gain, the phase of each array element is traversed from 0 to 360 degrees row by row and column by column, with the far-field array and the maximum gain as the optimization targets, to find the phase matrix with the maximum array gain (i.e., the maximum gain phase matrix), and subsequent adjustments are made based on this. Specifically included are:

[0049] S101: Control the voltage code of each row of the passive phased array to gradually increase from phase 0 to phase 360 in sequence, and through far-field testing, find the optimal voltage code for each row;

[0050] More specifically, increase the voltage code of the first row from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the voltage code corresponding to the maximum far-field level (optimal voltage code);

[0051] Based on the optimal voltage code of the first row, increase the voltage code of the second row from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the voltage code corresponding to the maximum far-field level;

[0052] Based on the optimal voltage codes of the first and second rows, increase the voltage code of the third row from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the voltage code corresponding to the maximum far-field level;

[0053] And so on:......

[0054] Until the optimization of the last line is completed, thus completing the far-field optimization line by line.

[0055] S102: Sequentially control the voltage code of each column of the passive phased array to gradually increase from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the optimal voltage code for each column;

[0056] Specifically, based on the optimal voltage codes of all rows:

[0057] Gradually increase the voltage code of the first column from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the voltage code corresponding to the maximum far-field level (optimal voltage code);

[0058] Based on the optimal voltage code of the first column, gradually increase the voltage code of the second column from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the voltage code corresponding to the maximum far-field level;

[0059] Based on the optimal voltage codes of the first and second columns, gradually increase the voltage code of the third column from phase 0 to phase 360, and through far-field testing, find the voltage code corresponding to the maximum far-field level;

[0060] And so on: ……

[0061] Until the optimization of the last column is completed, thus completing the far-field optimization column by column.

[0062] S103: Obtain the maximum gain phase matrix according to the optimal voltage code of each row and the optimal voltage code of each column.

[0063] Through the above two steps S101 and S102, the row-column optimization can be completed. For example: for a P-row Q-column antenna array, the row-column matrix formed by the voltage codes after row-column optimization, that is, the maximum gain phase matrix is denoted as matrix [A0]:

[0064]

[0065] S2: Perform incremental control with the maximum gain phase matrix as the 0-degree matrix, and record the far-field and gain phase values corresponding to each increment to obtain the large VP matrix;

[0066] In this step, the initialization matrix of the maximum gain phase matrix is used as the 0-degree matrix of the entire array (i.e., taking the maximum gain phase matrix as the starting point, which is the 0-degree matrix). Incremental control is uniformly applied to all array elements within this matrix (for example: if the original matrix is [A], then the next matrix is [A + 1], and the next one is [A + 2]... until the increment reaches the maximum value). Record the corresponding far-field and gain phase values after each increment. Traverse the large table of the matrix and the collected phases, denoted as the large VP. By performing the large VP test in this step, the performance and stability of the system can be verified.

[0067] During the process of incremental control in this step, if the voltage code of an array element exceeds the set value of the voltage code after the increase, a modulo operation is performed on the voltage code. For example: when the set value of the voltage code (i.e., the maximum value of the voltage code) is 256, matrices [A1][A2]...[A255] are generated based on matrix [A0], where:

[0068]

[0069] In matrix [An], if the voltage code of a certain unit is greater than 256, then take the modulo. For example: if PQ + n - 1 = 258, then its actual value is 258 - 256 = 2.

[0070] Then, traverse and input the phase codes for the entire column, collect the signal phase through the far field, and perform normalization processing of the collected phases with the first row as the reference (for example: when the voltage matrix ranges from A0 to A255 and the far-field collected phase values are 169, 172, 176..., after performing normalization processing of the phases with the first row as the reference, the generated Φ0, Φ1, Φ2... are 0, 3, 5... respectively), thereby generating the large VP matrix:

[0071]

[0072] As can be seen from the above formula, the first column of the large VP matrix is the voltage code matrix, and the second column is the phase value.

[0073] S3: Initialize the row phases of the large VP matrix;

[0074] Specifically, initialize the row phases of the large VP matrix to zero to ensure the accuracy of subsequent phase adjustments.

[0075] S4: Perform a 0 to 360-degree phase traversal on each row of the large VP matrix in sequence, store the amplitude and phase data simultaneously, and gradually adjust the non-test row phases of the large VP matrix. Then, perform a 0 to 360-degree phase traversal on each row of the large VP matrix in sequence again, and store the amplitude and phase data simultaneously;

[0076] In this step, a 0 - to - 360 - degree phase traversal operation is performed on each row in sequence, and the phase value is gradually adjusted. When gradually adjusting the phase value, the phases of the array are set to 22.5 degrees (i.e., within the large VP, the matrix corresponding to the phase 22.5 degrees larger than the phase of the original matrix [A]), 45 degrees, 67.5 degrees, 90 degrees... 337.5 degrees, so as to prepare for the next phase traversal. During the phase traversal process, temporary phase data is stored for subsequent analysis and processing. Specifically, it includes:

[0077] S401: When Φ = 0 in the large VP matrix, find the corresponding matrix [A]; because Φ has been normalized, when Φ = 0, [A] = [A0]; in the matrix [A0], except for the first row from which the phase is to be extracted, the other voltage codes remain unchanged. For the voltage code of the first row, the increment ranges from 0 to 256. If it exceeds 255 during the increment process, take the modulus. Complete the code traversal of the first row under the [A0] matrix, and the traversed code matrix is:

[0078]

[0079] Specifically, while traversing the code matrix, collect the far - field amplitude - phase data, and based on the far - field data, inversely calculate the phase of this row. For example: for a 16 * 8 array antenna, when collecting the minimum far - field amplitude value, the phase of this row is inversely superimposed with the phases of the other rows. That is, when the far - field amplitude is at the minimum value, the phase of this row is 180 degrees; when the phase appears at the first maximum value, the phase of this row is 94 degrees, and when the subsequent minimum value appears, the phase of this row is 266 degrees.

[0080] S402: When Φ = 22.5 in the large VP matrix, find the corresponding matrix A i ; in the matrix A i except for the first row from which the phase is to be extracted, the other voltage codes remain unchanged. For the voltage code of the first row, the increment ranges from 0 to 256. If it exceeds 255 during the increment process, take the modulus, thereby completing the code traversal of the first row under the A i matrix;

[0081] Specifically, while traversing the code matrix, collect the far - field amplitude - phase data, and based on the far - field data, inversely calculate the phase of this row. For example: for a 16 * 8 array antenna, when collecting the minimum far - field amplitude value, the phase of this row is inversely superimposed with the phases of the other rows. That is, when the far - field amplitude is at the minimum value, the phase of this row is 180 + 22.5 = 202.5 degrees; when the phase appears at the first maximum value, the phase of this row is 94 + 22.5 = 116.5 degrees, and when the subsequent minimum value appears, the phase of this row is 266 + 22.5 = 288.5 degrees.

[0082] S403: Based on the same method as in S401 to S402, find the matrices corresponding to Φ = 45, 67.5, ……, 337.5 in the large VP matrix, and calculate the actual phase shift corresponding to the different voltage codes in the first row of the corresponding matrix, so as to obtain the phase data of the first row.

[0083] Based on the same method above, perform row phase traversal and storage on the second row, third row, fourth row, ……, last row, so as to obtain the actual phase shift corresponding to the different voltage codes in the remaining rows. In this embodiment, the schematic diagram of the influence of row phase traversal on the normal amplitude and normal phase when different matrices [A] are involved can be seen in Figure 3 and Figure 4 .

[0084] S5: Initialize the column phase of the large VP matrix;

[0085] Specifically, in this step, the column phase of the large VP matrix is initialized to zero, so as to ensure the accuracy of subsequent phase adjustment.

[0086] S6: Perform 0 to 360 - degree phase traversal on each column of the large VP matrix in turn, store the amplitude and phase data at the same time, and gradually adjust the non - test column phase of the large VP matrix. Then perform 0 to 360 - degree phase traversal on each column of the large VP matrix in turn again, and store the amplitude and phase data at the same time.

[0087] Specifically, the method of extracting column - by - column phase is the same as the method of extracting row - by - row phase, which will not be elaborated here. After the phase traversal and data storage operations for all rows and columns are completed, the process ends.

[0088] In this embodiment, according to the far - field synthesis theory, when the phase of a certain row or column is 180° different from the phases of the remaining arrays, the synthesis gain is the smallest. Therefore, by changing the overall array phase and combining with the minimum value of the far - field synthesis gain, the accurate phase of this row or column within the array can be calculated. For the discrete array phase, the discrete phase distributions of multiple such rows or columns can be tested and calculated. Through the tested discrete phase distributions, the 0 - 360 - degree phase distribution of this row or column can be simulated. This testing method is all valid phases, that is, the real phases within the array, which has guiding significance for antenna calibration.

[0089] This embodiment can also extract the phases of m rows and n columns, and through relevant convolution, obtain the unit VP curve of the m - th row and n - th column, so as to realize the full calibration of the array.

[0090] A method for extracting row and column phases of a passive phased array provided in this embodiment can improve the accuracy of phase adjustment and the integrity of data storage, so as to meet the requirements of complex signal processing. Specifically:

[0091] 1. High phase adjustment accuracy: By traversing and storing the phase row by row and column by column, the phase of each array element can be precisely adjusted, significantly improving the phase adjustment accuracy.

[0092] 2. Complete data storage: During the phase traversal process, the phase data of each array element is comprehensively recorded, providing rich data support for subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0093] 3. Introduced large VP testing to ensure the performance and stability of the system, providing a reliable guarantee for phase adjustment.

[0094] 4. Through the gradual adjustment and data storage of the array phase, comprehensive calibration of the passive phased array is achieved, improving the signal processing effect.

[0095] 5. Strong systematicness: A complete set of processes and methods is formed, which can effectively guide practical applications and improve work efficiency.
