[0002] With the continuous improvement of the complexity of modern radar systems, radar testing technology has become a key link to ensure the performance of radar systems. Traditional radar testing methods are mainly designed for single functions. In different testing needs such as target simulation, power measurement and T / R component testing, independent test systems usually need to be built.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN115712097A discloses a radar active module testing system, which connects a switch matrix and a power division network through a host computer to realize amplitude and phase parameter measurement of multi-band, multi-polarization and multi-channel radar active modules, thereby reducing the complexity of manual operation to a certain extent. Chinese patent CN118393437A discloses a digital component compensation testing system based on partial signal correlation, which realizes the switching and distribution of transmit and receive signals between the tested component and the reference component through a signal hub, thereby improving the testing efficiency of digital T / R components. Chinese patent CN118151110B proposes a fast testing system for full-polarization radar antennas, which uses a radio frequency routing unit to select a radio frequency signal path, thereby solving the problem of frequent line changing in the testing process of phased array antennas. In addition, Chinese patent CN115664548A discloses a multi-channel digital radar antenna testing system, which realizes automatic testing of multi-channel digital radar antennas through the coordination of a scanning rack subsystem and a radio frequency subsystem.
[0004] However, the above prior art solutions still have the following shortcomings: First, the existing testing system has relatively single function, and cannot integrate multiple working modes such as target simulation, power measurement and T / R component testing in the same set of equipment, resulting in the need to build multiple independent systems when performing comprehensive testing, which not only increases the cost of equipment and occupies space, but also introduces additional measurement errors due to multiple radio frequency connections. Second, the existing T / R component testing solution has limitations in spatial positioning accuracy control, and cannot realize high-precision automatic alignment of the antenna phase center and the center line of the radar antenna unit, so the tester needs to rely on manual adjustment, which is low in efficiency and easy to introduce human errors. Third, the traditional testing system lacks intelligent fault diagnosis capability, mainly relying on the experience of testers for data interpretation and abnormality identification, making it difficult to realize the correlation analysis and automatic diagnosis of T / R component multi-channel amplitude and phase data. Finally, the existing technology often needs to interrupt the transmission of radio frequency signals when switching between multiple testing modes, which cannot realize seamless switching in the true sense, seriously restricting the improvement of testing efficiency.

The module adopts a distributed control architecture, and builds a star topology control network through a gigabit Ethernet. The state monitoring subsystem is deployed on a hardware state acquisition unit on the FPGA, and polls key parameters of each module at a period of 10 ms, including the port standing wave ratio of the radio frequency switch matrix, the local oscillator locking state of the frequency conversion module and the memory occupancy rate of the baseband processor. The link reconstruction control logic performs a three-step triggering mechanism of pre-detection, silent switching and post-calibration when switching modes, the pre-detection verifies the availability of hardware resources required by the target mode, the silent switching completes the switch matrix reconstruction within the radio frequency signal gap, and the post-calibration automatically loads the corresponding calibration coefficients. The timing synchronization mechanism adopts the IEEE 1588 precision time protocol, and realizes that the clock synchronization error of each module is less than 100 ns. The fault recovery strategy establishes a three-level abnormality processing mechanism of the module level, the system level and the network level, realizes seamless switching of the three working modes within the radio frequency signal gap, and the entire switching process takes no more than 8 ms.
