Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of airborne electronic warfare technology, and in particular to a high-precision pattern acquisition method, direction finding verification method, and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] High-precision direction finding of radiation source targets is crucial for the operational effectiveness of airborne electronic warfare equipment. Airborne electronic warfare equipment employing amplitude-comparison direction finding requires the acquisition of accurate radiation pattern data within the reconnaissance airspace to achieve high-performance direction finding capabilities. After installation, the sheer size of the aircraft and the complexity of the environment make on-site radiation pattern data acquisition difficult. Therefore, traditional airborne electronic warfare equipment typically acquires radiation pattern data in a microwave anechoic chamber: the equipment is mounted and fixed on a turntable, with the center of the antenna array coinciding with the turntable's center. The radiation source is positioned and radiates a signal. By controlling the turntable's azimuth rotation, radiation pattern data is acquired, and direction finding performance is verified. The center of the antenna array of electronic warfare equipment generally does not coincide with its center of gravity, especially for electronic warfare pod-based equipment, where there is a significant distance deviation between the antenna array center and the center of gravity. To ensure the stability and reliability of electronic warfare equipment mounted on the turntable, in actual engineering, the center of gravity of the equipment is located at the center of the turntable. It is difficult to ensure that the center of the equipment's antenna array coincides with the center of the turntable. This results in an angular deviation between the rotation angle of the turntable and the incident angle of the radiation source signal relative to the antenna array. On the one hand, this leads to errors in the collected radiation pattern data, affecting the direction-finding performance of the electronic warfare equipment. On the other hand, it also makes it difficult to accurately test and verify the direction-finding performance of the equipment in a microwave anechoic chamber. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Other features and advantages of this application will become apparent from the following detailed description, or may be learned in part from practice of this application.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, a high-precision radiation pattern acquisition method is provided, comprising: Electronic warfare equipment is fixedly mounted on a turntable, and radiation sources are arranged with the center of the turntable as the origin and the normal direction of the electronic warfare equipment's array surface. The center of the electronic warfare equipment coincides with the center of the turntable. Using distance measuring instruments, the vertical distance from the radiation source to the electronic warfare equipment is calibrated, and the distance from the center of the antenna array to the center of the turntable is measured. An angle correction model for the rotation angle of the turntable and the incident angle of the radiation source signal relative to the antenna array is calculated by measuring the distance from the center of the antenna array to the center of the turntable. Control the electronic warfare equipment to operate normally, adjust the radiation source parameters, and control the turntable to rotate and acquire the radiation pattern data of the electronic warfare equipment; An angle correction model is used to correct the radiation pattern data, thereby correcting the radiation pattern deviation caused by the misalignment of the antenna array center and the turntable center.

[0007] According to one embodiment of this application, the angle correction model calculation process is as follows: Measure the distance from the radiation source to the center of gravity of the electronic warfare equipment, and the angle of incidence of the radiation source relative to the antenna array of the electronic warfare equipment. Calculate the deviation angle between the incident angle of the radiation source and the initial angle of the turntable; By rotating the turntable at any angle, the coordinates of the radiation source in the coordinate system with the center of the electronic warfare equipment as the origin can be calculated.

The angle of incidence of the radiation source relative to the center of the electronic warfare equipment antenna array is calculated based on the coordinates of the radiation source in the coordinate system with the center of the electronic warfare equipment antenna array as the origin. This is the angle correction model.

[0008] According to one embodiment of this application, the angle correction model expression is:

Let [M, N] be the initial angle of the turntable, and let [M, N] be the coordinates of the center of the electronic warfare equipment's antenna array in a coordinate system with the center of gravity of the electronic warfare equipment as the origin.

Adjust the radiation source parameters and turntable rotation angle, and control the operation of electronic warfare equipment to obtain direction finding results; An angle correction model was used to correct the angle of the turntable, and the direction finding results of the electronic warfare equipment were verified.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the verification of the direction finding results of electronic warfare equipment includes: Within the airspace, the radiation source is placed in another location, and the angle of incidence of the radiation source relative to the antenna array is determined using an angle calibration device with the antenna array of the electronic warfare equipment as the center. The direction finding results of the electronic warfare equipment are then verified using this angle of incidence. Simultaneously, the direction finding deviation of the electronic warfare equipment to the radiation source is calculated, the accurate angle is calculated using the direction finding deviation, and the radiation pattern data is corrected. The direction finding results are then obtained again based on the corrected radiation pattern data. This process is repeated until the obtained direction finding results are free of deviation, thus completing the direction finding verification of the electronic warfare equipment.

[0012] According to one embodiment of this application, the verification of the direction finding results of electronic warfare equipment further includes: Using an angle calibration device, with the antenna array of the electronic warfare equipment as the center, the precise incident angle of the radiation source relative to the antenna array is calibrated. Combined with the measurement results of the radiation source by the electronic warfare equipment, the direction finding results of the electronic warfare equipment are verified. Simultaneously, the direction finding deviation of the electronic warfare equipment to the radiation source is calculated, the accurate angle is calculated using the direction finding deviation, and the angle correction model is updated and iterated. New radiation pattern data is obtained through the updated angle correction model, and the direction finding results are obtained again using the new radiation pattern data. This process is repeated until the obtained direction finding results have no deviation, thus completing the direction finding verification of the electronic warfare equipment.

[0022] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar modules or modules having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Rather, the embodiments of this application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0023] Example 1 To address the issue that when airborne electronic warfare equipment acquires radiation pattern data in a microwave anechoic chamber, it is difficult to ensure that the center of the equipment's antenna array and the center of the turntable coincide on the altitude plane, resulting in angular deviations in the radiation pattern data and affecting the equipment's direction-finding performance. This application proposes a high-precision radiation pattern acquisition method. By employing high-precision radiation pattern acquisition technology, the angular deviation caused by the misalignment of the projections of the equipment's antenna array center and the turntable center on the altitude plane is eliminated, thus obtaining the incident angle of the radiation source signal relative to the center of the equipment's antenna array. Please refer to... Figure 1 The specific steps are as follows: S101. The electronic warfare equipment is fixedly installed on the turntable, and a radiation source is arranged with the center of the turntable as the origin and the normal direction of the electronic warfare equipment array surface. The center of the electronic warfare equipment coincides with the center of the turntable.

[0024] In this step, the distance between the electronic warfare equipment and the radiation source needs to meet the far-field electromagnetic field conditions.

[0025] S102. Using a distance measuring instrument, calibrate the vertical distance from the radiation source to the electronic warfare equipment, and measure the distance from the center of the antenna array to the center of the turntable.

[0026] S103. Calculate the rotation angle of the turntable and the angle correction model of the incident angle of the radiation source signal relative to the antenna array by measuring the distance from the center of the antenna array to the center of the turntable.

[0027] Specifically, this embodiment provides the detailed calculation process of the angle correction model, as follows: Please refer to Figure 2 The center of gravity G of the electronic warfare equipment coincides with the center Z of the turntable, and the initial rotation angle of the turntable is... The distance from radiation source A to the center of gravity G of the electronic warfare equipment is measured using a distance measuring instrument, and the angle of incidence of radiation source A relative to the antenna array of the electronic warfare equipment is measured using an angle measuring instrument. The deviation between the incident angle of the radiation source and the initial angle of the turntable for: (1) When the turntable rotates at any angle... When this happens, the coordinates of radiation source A in a coordinate system with the centroid G as the origin can be calculated. , ]for: (2) By measuring the coordinates of the antenna array center O in a coordinate system with the electronic warfare equipment's center of gravity G as the origin using a distance measuring instrument, we can obtain the coordinate transformation matrix T as [M, N]. (3) Based on the principle of coordinate transformation, the coordinates of radiation source A in the coordinate system with the center O of the antenna array as the origin can be obtained as [ , ]for: (4) Substituting equation (2) into equation (4), we simplify to obtain: (5) According to equation (5), the incident angle of radiation source A relative to the center of the electronic warfare equipment antenna array can be obtained, i.e., the angle correction model expression: (6) S104. Control the electronic warfare equipment to operate normally, adjust the radiation source parameters, and control the turntable to rotate and acquire the radiation pattern data of the electronic warfare equipment.

[0028] S105. Use the angle correction model to correct the radiation pattern data, correcting the radiation pattern deviation caused by the misalignment of the antenna array center and the turntable center.

[0029] The solution in this embodiment addresses the problem of deviation in radiation pattern data when airborne electronic warfare equipment acquires radiation pattern data in a microwave anechoic chamber. By adopting a high-precision radiation pattern acquisition method, the angular deviation caused by the misalignment between the center of the equipment's antenna array and the center of the turntable is eliminated, resulting in high-precision radiation pattern data and improving the direction-finding performance of the electronic warfare equipment.

[0030] Example 2 Due to the misalignment between the center of the antenna array and the center of the turntable, there is a deviation between the rotation angle of the turntable and the incident angle of the radiation source relative to the antenna array. This results in inaccurate testing and verification of direction-finding performance during microwave anechoic chamber testing. Therefore, this embodiment utilizes the angle correction model obtained in Embodiment 1 to eliminate the angle deviation caused by the misalignment, achieving preliminary testing and verification of direction-finding performance. Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment proposes a direction-finding verification method, please refer to... Figure 3 Specifically, it includes: S201. Generate direction-finding parameters using the corrected pattern data and load them into electronic warfare equipment; S202. Adjust the radiation source parameters and turntable rotation angle, and control the operation of electronic warfare equipment to obtain direction finding results; S203. The angle of the turntable is corrected using the angle correction model, and the direction finding results of the electronic warfare equipment are verified.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, a method for verifying the direction-finding results of electronic warfare equipment is proposed, comprising: Please refer to Figure 4Within the airspace, the radiation source is placed at another location B. Using an angle calibration device with the antenna array of the electronic warfare equipment as the center, the incident angle of the radiation source relative to the antenna array is calibrated. Since this angle is an accurate incident angle and is not affected by the misalignment between the center of the antenna array and the center of the turntable, the direction finding results of the electronic warfare equipment can be verified using this incident angle.

[0032] Simultaneously, the direction finding deviation of the electronic warfare equipment to the radiation source is calculated, and accurate angle correction radiation pattern data is obtained using the direction finding deviation. The direction finding results are then re-acquired based on the corrected radiation pattern data. This process is repeated until the acquired direction finding results are free of deviation, thus completing the direction finding verification of the electronic warfare equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, in another embodiment, a method for verifying the direction-finding results of electronic warfare equipment is also proposed, including: Using an angle calibration device, with the antenna array of the electronic warfare equipment as the center, the precise incident angle of the radiation source relative to the antenna array is calibrated. Combined with the measurement results of the radiation source by the electronic warfare equipment, the direction finding results of the electronic warfare equipment are verified. Simultaneously, the direction finding deviation of the electronic warfare equipment to the radiation source is calculated. The accurate angle is calculated using the direction finding deviation to update the angle correction model. New radiation pattern data is obtained through the updated angle correction model. The direction finding results are then obtained again using the new radiation pattern data. This process is repeated until the obtained direction finding results are free of deviation, thus completing the direction finding verification of the electronic warfare equipment.

[0034] The solution in this embodiment can achieve high-precision pattern acquisition and direction finding verification of electronic warfare equipment.
