A large-
diameter wideband reception phased-array antenna is characterized in that (1) the reception phased-array antenna employs a sub-array structure, N array elements are divided into L sub-arrays, each sub-array is an independent
simulation narrowband phased-array antenna, an output
signal of each sub-array is x(t), and I is 1, 2 until L; (2) the output
signal of a first sub-array is converted to a
digital signal y(k) by an analog-
digital converter (ADC), y(k) passes through a digital
delay filter, a filter coefficient vector c=[c<I1> until c<IJ>], J is filter order, the realization function of a first digital
delay filter is in a way that an input
signal is delayed by time span being Tau, and the output signal is z(k); (3) the digital
delay filter corresponding to each sub-array employs a Farrow filter structure, namely, a coefficient is shown as specification, and the coefficient Zeta(j) is calculated by a
frequency domain weighting method; and (4) the final output p(k) of the phased-array antenna is sum of outputs of all digital delay filters, namely, p(k) is shown as specification. By the large-
diameter wideband reception phased-array antenna, the problems of
spatial dispersion and time dispersion of the phased-array antenna are solved, and the phased-array antenna can be applied to the field of the large-
diameter wideband phased-array antenna for
radar and communication.
