Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of array antenna reverse calibration, and more particularly to a far-field calibration method, electronic device, and storage medium for a fully open array antenna. Background Technology

[0002] In active phased arrays, it is common for each antenna element to have a corresponding T / R module, meaning one channel corresponds to one antenna element. A typical planar array antenna is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. This method enables independent and precise control of each antenna element, allowing for the calibration of the array antenna using various methods such as the rotating electric vector method and the commutation measurement method. However, for an array antenna with all channels open, the switching of individual elements cannot be controlled, thus traditional calibration methods (rotating electric vector method) cannot be used for calibration. In this case, an FFT-based synthesis method can be used for back-calculation, but it has some drawbacks: Existing full-channel open array antenna calibration methods have the following shortcomings: (1) The FFT-based inverse synthesis method has strict requirements on the array spacing. For a linear array, the array factor expression is as follows: (1) In the formula, Let x represent the coordinates in the u-direction in the u, v space, which can be understood as x in f(x). express The array factor, where n represents the nth element in the array; N represents the array element count; This represents the current amplitude and phase corresponding to the nth unit; k represents the coordinate index in the u direction, i.e., the kth point in the u direction; K represents the total number of grid points in the u direction; d represents the array spacing. Indicates wavelength; The expression for the inverse Fourier transform is as follows: (2) In the formula, the inverse Fourier transform converts the data from the frequency domain to the time domain. This represents a discrete sequence in the time domain, where n is the index of the time-domain sampling point; represents a discrete sequence in the frequency domain, represents the complex amplitude of different frequency components, and k is the index of the frequency domain sampling point.

[0003] Based on equations (1) and (2), if the FFT transformation can be applied to the calculation of array antenna patterns, the following correspondence must be satisfied: (3) because and ,but This condition must be met, namely, it can only handle reverse calibration of array antennas with an array spacing of half a wavelength.

[0004] (2) The FFT-based synthesis method has strict requirements on the array layout. As mentioned in point (1) above, if you want to use the FFT synthesis method to calibrate the array antenna, the array spacing must be half a wavelength. This means that the array antenna can only be arranged in a regular pattern, and it cannot handle array back-reasoning under sparse array layout.

[0005] (3) The FFT-based comprehensive inverse reasoning method has certain requirements for the array factor. This method obtains the array excitation by performing an FFT transformation on the input array factor. The ideal range of the array factor is -1≤u≤1, -1≤v≤1 (for a one-dimensional array, it generally only refers to u in the u,v space; for a two-dimensional array, it needs to include the entire u,v two-dimensional space; it can be understood as x relative to xy, i.e., the relationship between a one-dimensional line vector and a two-dimensional plane). However, the array factor in the (u,v) space obtained in actual testing is limited to the range u^2+v^2≤1, as detailed in the appendix. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, compared with the ideal matrix factor (u,v) space range, the (u,v) space given by the actual test is reduced. This means that the calibration method has certain requirements for the matrix factor, that is, the effective information of the matrix factor should be distributed in the range of u^2+v^2≤1 as much as possible. This also limits the application scenarios of the calibration method to some extent. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a far-field calibration method, electronic device and storage medium for a full-channel open array antenna.

Reconstruct the right singular vector to obtain the final solution.

[0010] Furthermore, the method of handling singular values ​​according to different properties of the system includes: For stable systems, the direct pseudo-inverse method is used; For ill-conditioned systems, regularization is used. method.

[0011] Furthermore, the ill-conditioned system refers to a system of equations that is extremely sensitive to minute changes in the input data, including the coefficient matrix and the right-hand side, leading to a significant amplification of the error in the solution; the stable system is the opposite.

[0012] A second aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device including a storage unit and a processing unit, wherein the storage unit stores computer instructions executable on the processing unit, and the processing unit executes the steps of the full-channel open array antenna far-field calibration method as described in the first aspect when executing the computer instructions.

[0013] A third aspect of the present invention provides a storage medium having computer instructions stored thereon, which, when executed, perform the steps of the full-channel open array antenna far-field calibration method as described in the first aspect.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The calibration method in this exemplary embodiment clarifies the relationship between array factors and array excitation through mathematical derivation, and establishes a mathematical model for solving the array excitation algorithm by inverse calculation of array factors. This method breaks away from the traditional FFT synthesis concept, thus avoiding the problems of array spacing requiring half a wavelength and array arrangement requiring regular layout in traditional FFT synthesis inverse calculation algorithms.

[0015] Based on this calibration method, full-channel reverse calibration can be performed on array antennas with non-half-wavelength and irregular array spacing, and there are almost no requirements for the pairing factor, which significantly expands the application range of this method (compared to traditional calibration methods).

[0022] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of a far-field calibration method for a full-channel open array antenna provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown, including the following steps: S1: Establish a two-dimensional planar mathematical model of the array antenna to be calibrated, and determine the global rectangular coordinate system of the array antenna model.

[0023] In one specific exemplary embodiment, the array antenna element size is 64 (Q=64), the array spacing is 15mm, and the operating frequency is 8GHz-12GHz (i.e., the ratio of array spacing to wavelength is 0.4-0.6). A global Cartesian coordinate system is established with the geometric center of the array antenna in the two-dimensional plane as the origin of the global coordinate system. , For the direction of dissemination, The plane is the plane on which the array is located.

[0024] S2: Obtain the coordinates of each array element in the global Cartesian coordinate system of the array antenna model. Coordinate data.

[0025] In a specific exemplary embodiment, each array element is abstracted as a point mass on a plane, and the position of each point mass is determined by the position of the physical geometric center of each element in the array in the global coordinate system. For each element q, its position in the global coordinate system can be obtained. Representation of position information on a plane .

[0026] S3: Obtain the overall radiation pattern of the entire array antenna to be calibrated from actual measurements. The active element radiation pattern of the center array element of the array antenna model was obtained through simulation. ; Overall orientation map Divide by the radiation pattern of the active element Obtain the first matrix factor ,Right now in Indicates pitch angle, Indicates the azimuth angle.

[0027] In one specific exemplary embodiment, the overall radiation pattern of the array antenna is obtained by actual measurement in an anechoic chamber. The radiation pattern of the active element of a certain central element of the array is obtained through HFSS or CST simulation. Finally, it can be determined by... Calculated First matrix factor in space .

[0028] S4: Factor the first matrix Depend on( Space transformation to ( The second matrix factor is obtained in the space. ,in .

[0029] S5: Based on the second matrix factor exist The spatial distribution is selected using a number of sampling points, P. And determine the sampling points at spatial Coordinate information of coordinate data and corresponding , Q is the number of array elements in the antenna array to be calibrated; S6: Based on sampling points Coordinate data and array units From the coordinate data, the weighting coefficient matrix A is calculated; The expression is as follows: in, The solution formula is as follows: in, Indicates wave number, The antenna operating frequency, The speed of light; and They represent the nth in the array Each unit in direction and Coordinates of direction; and They represent In space the first Each sampling point is direction and The coordinates of the direction, where k represents the wave number. The physical meaning of is the first in the array Unit pair In space the first The weighting effect of each sampling point.

[0030] S7: Based on the weighted coefficient matrix A and the second matrix factor =b calculates the array excitation information x, with the formula Ax=b; thus completing the array back-reasoning calibration. A system of relevant equations is established based on the principle of array factor solving. The system of equations is expressed as follows: Wherein, the coefficient matrix Given the matrix factor matrix Given the array excitation information matrix The solution to x can then be obtained by solving the system of equations.

[0031] In summary, the calibration method in this exemplary embodiment clarifies the relationship between array factors and array excitation through mathematical derivation, and establishes a mathematical model for solving the array excitation algorithm by inversely deducing the array factors. This method breaks away from the traditional FFT synthesis approach, thus avoiding the problems encountered in traditional FFT synthesis inverse algorithms, such as the array spacing having to be half a wavelength and the array arrangement having to be regular.

[0032] Based on this calibration method, full-channel reverse calibration can be performed on array antennas with non-half-wavelength and irregular array spacing, and there are almost no requirements for the pairing factor, which significantly expands the application range of this method (compared to traditional calibration methods).

[0033] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, the step of basing the weighted coefficient matrix A on the second matrix factor... =b calculates the array excitation information x, including: S8: Perform singular value decomposition on the weighted coefficient matrix A, and solve for the singular values ​​of the matrix based on the SVD method. ,;in for An orthogonal matrix representing the left singular component; for Diagonal array, elements , represents a singular value; for An orthogonal matrix represents the right singular component; The values ​​of each element can be obtained by solving the corresponding functions in MATLAB.

[0034] S9: Singular Values Singular values ​​are handled using different methods depending on the different properties of the system. In a specific exemplary embodiment, the method of processing singular values ​​according to different properties of the system includes: For stable systems, the direct pseudo-inverse method is used: For ill-conditioned systems, regularization is used. method: In the formula, Indicates wavelength.

[0035] It should be noted that the ill-conditioned system refers to a system of equations that is extremely sensitive to small changes in the input data, including the coefficient matrix and the right-hand side, leading to a significant amplification of the error in the solution; the stable system is the opposite. Generally, in mathematics, it can be directly judged by the norm condition number of the coefficient matrix A; the larger the value, the more severe the ill-conditioned system. However, in practical engineering applications, whether a system is ill-conditioned is determined by a preset standard threshold (i.e., if the condition number is greater than the preset standard threshold, it is considered an ill-conditioned system).

[0036] S10: Project the top right end and calculate the orthogonal projection of the left singular vector space; In step S10, the vector c is obtained, laying the foundation for solving for vector d in step 11. Here, b corresponds to the b in Ax=b. It is obtained from the singular value decomposition of the matrix in step S8; c is an intermediate variable obtained after projection, which is convenient for subsequent use.

[0037] It should be noted that for this step: First, performing singular value decomposition on matrix A yields: ; Wherein, the left singular matrix U is an orthogonal matrix, which is an orthogonal basis of the output space; the right singular matrix V is an orthogonal basis of the input space.

[0038] Based on this, the top right end of the projection... .

[0039] (Therefore, the left singular vector is introduced.) Its mathematical essence is to transform the problem into the optimal coordinate system, thereby decoupling the original system of equations, making it easier to solve and regularize. Here, b is the same as b in Ax=b.

[0040] S11: Descaling transformation: Based on the different properties of the system and the corresponding singular value processing method, scale transformation is performed on the singular values ​​of each non-zero singular component. The essence of this step is to suppress the negative impact of small singular values ​​on the solution by modifying the inverse of the singular values, thereby achieving the separation of the physical dominant mode from the noise mode.

[0041] S12: Reconstruct the right singular vector to obtain the final solution.

[0042] In mathematical logic, step 12, x is obtained by multiplying the vector V and the vector d. The vector V is obtained through the singular value decomposition of the matrix in step S8; the vector d is obtained by solving the scaling transformation in step S11.

[0043] It should be noted that: First, the coordinates c of the right-hand top b in the left singular space U are obtained through S10; second, d is obtained by solving for the right projected signal c through S11, the physical essence of which is to realize the transformation from signal space to source space, and the numerical function can control the propagation of the ill-conditioned system through scaling; finally, the final solution is obtained by solving for d and V through S12. Here, V is the right singular matrix (obtained from S8); d is the scaled coefficient vector (obtained from S11).
