Description

一种相控阵校测的方法以及校测装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种相控阵校测的方法以及校测装置。
背景技术
相控阵基本原理是采用单元天线辐射波形的叠加和相位变化,以实现功率合成和波束扫描,它的辐射性能主要由单元天线和波束控制系统决定,并由远场方向图表征。相控阵天线由于其天线单元之间的间距小且互耦强,从而导致天线增益下降,副瓣电平抬高,严重时不仅无法实现波束准确扫描,而且可能出现波束严重畸变。影响相控阵性能因素众多,其中包括通道误差中的器件不一致、制造公差、装配误差、环境变化、阵元互耦、位置偏差以及通道失效等,因此,在相控阵中进行校正、故障判断及定位、性能评估、维护校正与测试都是十分重要的。
在相控阵天线的测试中,测量和校正是相辅相成的。目前,常用的相控阵天线测试方法为远场测试方法,具体为,将被测天线装置放置在三维旋转的转台上,将测试探头放置在被测天线的远场位置,通过转台的转动,并且采用扫频的方式将天线装置的各类指标测试齐全。
然而,采用远场测试方法通常需要较大的测试空间,这样便对测试场地造成了限制,不利于测试的便利性。与此同时,如果面临大批量的天线装置,则需要消耗大量的时间对这些天线装置中每个单元进行测试,从而导致测试效率低下。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种相控阵校测的方法以及校测装置,可以提升检测效率,减小占地面积,降低成本低,从而大幅度地缩减相控阵校正所需时间以及提升相控阵产品的检测效率。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例的第一方面提供一种相控阵校测的方法,在该方法中主要采用包含第一相控阵和第二相控阵的校测装置,其中,第一相控阵即为待检测的相控阵,具体可以是待检测的相控阵天线。第二相控阵即为镜像校正测试阵列。第一相控阵包含至少一个第一RF通道,第二相控阵包含至少一个第二RF通道,第二相控阵中第二RF通道的数量需要大于或等于第一RF通道的数量,这样才能使得每个第一RF通道的拓扑结构都能与第二RF通道的拓扑结构对应上,且两者呈镜像对称,即第一RF通道与第二RF通道为面对面耦合。其中,这里的拓扑结构是指硬件上的结构,例如第一RF通道与第二RF通道之间的间距,以及第一RF通道和第二RF通道数量。如果第二RF通道的数量大于第一RF通道的数量,那么就会有多余的第二RF通道不与第一RF通道呈镜像对称。可以理解的是,第一相控阵的辐射阵面与第二相控阵的辐射阵面之间间隔亚波长距离,亚波长的量级为纳米,因此亚波长比波长更小。
首先校测装置通过第二相控阵的第二RF通道接收来自于第一相控阵中第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,然后可以根据该耦合信号确定第一RF通道的幅度值和相位值,接着根据 幅度值相位值以及标准计量数据,计算得到第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值。
如果计算得到的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差条件,也就是说,如果幅度偏差值的绝对值在预设幅度误差范围内,而且相位偏差值的绝对值也在预设相位误差范围内,那么确定满足预设误差条件,这个时候,校测装置需要对所有第一RF通道对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,并且得到校正后的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。
校测装置可以利用目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数对第一相控阵进行测试,并得到第一相控阵对应的各个性能指标参数,如等效全向辐射功率、误差向量幅度和误码率。
本申请实施例中,提供了一种相控阵校测的方法,该方法主要应用于校测装置,校测装置包含第一相控阵和第二相控阵,第一相控阵包含第一射频RF通道,第二相控阵包含第二RF通道,第一RF通道与第二RF通道具有对应关系,且第二相控阵的辐射阵面与第一相控阵的辐射阵面之间间隔亚波长距离。首先校测装置通过第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,然后根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值,如果幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件,则校测装置需要对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,以得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数,最后校测装置可以采用目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数测量第一相控阵的性能指标参数。通过上述方式,由一个标定好的镜像相控阵,以亚波长距离与待测相控阵面对面放置,通过阵元天线之间的紧贴直通耦合机理,对待测相控阵的全部RF通道进行快速幅相校正,从而提升检测效率,减小占地面积,降低成本低,可以大幅度地缩减相控阵校正所需时间以及提升相控阵产品的检测效率。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第一种实现方式中,第一相控阵包含了多个第一RF通道,且第二相控阵包含了多个第二RF通道,于是,通过第二相控阵的第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,可以包括如下几个步骤:
将第二相控阵进行严格地精密校正之后,安装在固定的流水线检测平台上,作为第一相控阵的标准校测设备。首先,校测装置的第二相控阵中所有与第一RF通道直通耦合的第二RF通道处于关闭状态,其中,第二相控阵的每个第二RF通道由开关矩阵进行通断控制,开关矩阵中包含了多个开关,一个开关连接一个第二RF通道,此外,每个开关处还具有衰减器,衰减器可以防止功率过大。
接下来,可以按照一定的顺序逐一开启第二RF通道,举个例子,假设现在第一相控阵中有9个第一RF通道,且第二相控阵也有9个第二RF通道,按照顺序,这9个第二RF通道依次编号为1至9号。一开始,9个第二RF通道都是处于关闭状态的,于是,先开启1号第二RF通道,然后通过1号第二RF通道接收通过与之对应的1号第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,再关闭1号第二RF通道,接着开启2号第二RF通道,通过2号第二RF通道接收通过与之对应的2号第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,以此类推,直到来自9个第一RF通道的耦合信号都被接收。
可见,本申请实施例中,首先关闭与第一RF通道对应的所有第二RF通道,然后依次开启这些第二RF通道中的每个RF通道,最后通过每个第二RF通道接收每个第一RF通道发送过来的耦合信号。通过上述方式,能够逐一地对待检测的相控阵进行幅相的校正和测 量,即可以对每个第一RF通道都进行校测,相对同时校测多个RF通道,本申请有利于提升校测的准确性。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第二种实现方式中,通过第二RF通道接收每一个第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,可以采用如下的步骤:
具体地,在第一步中,当所有与第一RF通道镜像对称的第二RF通道都处于关闭状态时,开启这些第二RF通道中的第n个第二RF通道,其中,n为正整数,且n不会大于第一RF通道的总个数。在第二步中,校测装置通过该第n个第二RF通道接收来自第n个第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,当然,这里的第n个第二RF通道与第n个第一RF通道之间也是具有镜像对称关系的。耦合信号接收完毕后,在第三步中关闭该第二RF通道。
上述的第一步至第三步可以检测第一相控阵中的任意一个从第一RF通道发送来的耦合信号,第一相控阵中的所有第一RF通道都可以采用上述三个步骤进行耦合信号的发送,直至第一RF通道所发送的耦合信号均被第二RF通道接收。
可见,本申请实施例中,介绍了第二RF通道如何接收来自第一RF通道的耦合信号,以一组第一RF通道和与之对应的第二RF通道为例进行说明,采用相似的方法可以逐一地对待检测的相控阵进行幅相的校正和测量,即可以对每个第一RF通道都进行校测,相对同时校测多个RF通道,本申请有利于提升校测的准确性。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第三种实现方式中,校测装置根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值,具体可以包括如下几个步骤:
首先,校测装置中的矢量网络分析仪器,可以根据已经获取到的耦合信号检测出第一RF通道所对应的幅度值以及相位值。可以理解的是,通常情况下,幅度值和相位值是针对每个第一RF通道而言的,但是在实际应用中,这个幅度值和相位值也可以是针对多个第一RF通道而言的,我们以一个第一RF通道的幅度值和相位值为例进行介绍,然而,这不应构成对本方案的限定。
在得到第一RF通道的幅度值和相位值之后,利用提前设置的好的预设幅度值和预设相位值,可以分别计算出幅度偏差值和相位偏差值。举个例子,假设预设幅度值为-20分贝,预设相位值为2度,第一RF通道的幅度值为-15分贝,第一RF通道的相位值为5度,那么幅度偏差值即为(-15-(-20))=5,相位偏差值即为(5-2)=3。
可见,本申请实施例中,先根据耦合信号获取第一RF通道所对应的幅度值以及相位值,然后分别采用预设幅度值和预设相位值,计算得到我们需要的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值。通过上述方式,可以得到当前测量的幅相值与预设幅相值之间的偏差值,偏差值用于确定RF通道是否存在异常或故障,从而有利于提升方案的实用性和可操作性。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第四种实现方式中,校测装置在根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值之后,还可以执行如下步骤:
校测装置判断幅度偏差值的绝对值是否在预设幅度误差范围内,且相位偏差值的绝对值是否在预设相位误差范围内,如果两个条件都达到,则校测装置可以确定幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件。以9元天线为例,假设预设幅度误差范围为大于或等 于10分贝,预设相位误差范围为大于或等于5度,9个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值分别为12分贝、5分贝、11分贝、10分贝、5分贝、3分贝、7分贝、4分贝和19分贝,经过比较后,发现最大的幅度偏差值为19分贝,已经大于10分贝,因此确定幅度偏差值的绝对值在预设幅度误差范围内。9个第一RF通道的相位偏差值分别为3度、5度、8度、1度、1度、3度、7度、10度和6度,经过比较后,发现最大的相位偏差值为10度,已经大于5度,因此确定相位偏差值的绝对值在预设相位误差范围内。这个时候,说明当前满足预设误差校正条件。
可见,本申请实施例中,在得到幅度偏差值和相位偏差值之后,进而判断幅度偏差值的绝对值是否在预设幅度误差范围内,且相位偏差值的绝对值是否在预设相位误差范围内,若是,在确定满足预设误差校正条件,也就可以进行后续的RF通道幅相校测,反之,若不满足预设误差校正条件,则认为这个RF通道存在通道故障,也就不进行后续的通道幅相校测,直接由机械手臂将第一相控阵拆离第二相控阵,送回检修,因此有助于尽早地发现待检测的相控阵是否出现故障,从而提升方案的实用性。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第五种实现方式中,校测装置在根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值之后,还可以执行如下步骤:
首先,校测装置获取第一RF通道在空间中的第一位置矢量以及第二RF通道在空间中的第二位置矢量,然后可以根据第一位置矢量和第二位置矢量确定幅度系数以及相位系数,最后采用相关公式,根据第一RF通道产生的近区电场、第二RF通道产生的近区电场、幅度系数以及相位系数计算耦合系数。
可见,本申请实施例中,介绍了在确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值之后,还可以进一步获取第一位置矢量和第二位置矢量,然后根据一系列参数计算得到耦合系数。通过上述方式,能够得到更准确的耦合系数,并用于后续的RF通道校测,从而提升方案的可行性。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第六种实现方式中,校测装置对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,以得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数,具体包括如下步骤:
在理想情况下,第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面可以保持平行,那么这个时候,校测装置可以采用预设关系模型对幅度系数与相位系数进行训练,其中,预设关系模型为耦合系数与平行偏移位置之间的函数关系模型。然后,校测装置既可以获取训练后的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。
可见,本申请实施例中,介绍了在第一相控阵和第二相控阵相互平时,如何获取目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数的方式,即采用预设关系模型对已经得到的幅度系数和相位系数进行训练。通过上述方式,运用人工神经网络模型建立耦合系数与平行偏移位置之间的函数关系模型,在实测数据的基础上,采用人工智能学习算法对幅度系数与相位系数进行修正,从而得到相应的目标幅度系数和目标相位系数,以此提升每个第一RF通道的校正精度。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第七种实现方式中,在更多的情 况下,第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面是不平行的,那么这个时候,校测装置对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,以得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数,这个步骤具体可以包括:
首先,校测装置获取第一相控阵的阵面与第二相控阵的阵面之间的夹角,根据夹角的大小来决定如何对幅度系数和相位系数进行校正。
如果夹角属于小角度夹角,则校测装置可以根据第一幅度修正系数以及幅度系数计算出目标幅度系数,并且可以根据第一相位修正系数以及相位系数计算出目标相位系数,其中,第一幅度修正系数表示预先设置的不同方向(如x轴、y轴和z轴)上的幅度修正系数,第一相位修正系数表示预先设置的不同方向(如x轴、y轴和z轴)上的相位修正系数。反之,如果夹角属于大角度夹角,则根据第一幅度修正系数、第二幅度修正系数以及幅度系数计算所目标幅度系数,并根据第一相位修正系数、第二相位修正系数以及相位系数计算目标相位系数,其中,第二幅度修正系数表示第一RF通道和对应的第二RF通道之间耦合的幅度修正系数,第二相位修正系数表示第一RF通道和对应的第二RF通道之间耦合的相位修正系数。
可见,本申请实施例中,介绍了在第一相控阵和第二相控阵互不平行时,如何获取目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数的方式,即先获取第一相控阵的阵面和第二相控阵的阵面之间的夹角,根据夹角的类型选择相应的修正方式。通过上述方式,在实测数据的基础上,利用幅度修正系数和相位修正系数对幅度系数与相位系数进行修正,从而得到相应的目标幅度系数和目标相位系数,以此提升每个第一RF通道的校正精度。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第八种实现方式中,校测装置在得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数之后,还可以执行如下步骤:
校测装置还可以根据目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数确定第一相控阵的波束方向图。
其中,波束是指由卫星天线发射出来的电磁波在地球表面上形成的形状。主要有全球波束、点形波束和赋形波束。它们由发射天线来决定其形状。波束方向图中可以包括水平波束宽度和垂直波束宽度。
波束宽度可以是波束两个半功率点之间的夹角,与天线增益有关,一般天线增益越大,波束就越窄,探测角分辨率就越高。水平波束宽度是指在水平方向上,在最大辐射方向两侧,辐射功率下降3分贝的两个方向的夹角。而垂直波束宽度是指在垂直方向上,在最大辐射方向两侧,辐射功率下降3dB的两个方向的夹角。
可见,本申请实施例中,在对第一相控阵的所有RF通道校正完毕后,不但可以利用第二相控阵的后端处理设备,对第一相控阵的性能指标参数进行在线监测,还可以利用目标相位系数和目标幅度系数确定出第一相控阵所对应的波束方向图,从而实现对待测相控阵波束方向图的预测,以此提升方案的实用性。
在一种可能的设计中,在本申请实施例的第一方面的第九种实现方式中,检测装置在通过所述第二RF通道接收通过所述第一RF通道发送的耦合信号之前,还可以执行如下步骤:
当第二RF通道的传输幅度值最大时,校测装置确定第一相控阵与所述第二相控阵之间的对应位置。具体地,首先测试仪器在x轴和y轴维度进行峰值搜索,x轴和y轴分别 是横轴和纵轴。通过峰值搜索得到第二相控阵在不同的坐标位置所对应的传输幅度值,坐标位置即为x轴和y轴上的位置。一种可行的方式为,当所有第二RF通道传输幅度值最大值时,可以认为第一相控阵的阵面与第二相控阵的阵面对准,从而能够继续进行后续的相控阵校测。
可见,本申请实施例中,在通过第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号之后,还需要对第一相控阵和第二相控阵进行位置调整,调整到最佳位置时,第二RF通道的传输幅度值应为最大。通过上述方式,能够采用物理位置搜索的方式,找到第一相控阵和第二相控阵位置上的最优点,并以此进行校测,从而达到更准确高效的校测效果。

校测装置中的第二相控阵可以用于通过第二相控阵中的第二RF通道接收来自第一相控阵中同通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号。
测试仪器用于根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道的幅度值和相位值,接着根据幅度值相位值以及标准计量数据,计算得到第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值。
如果幅度偏差值和所述相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件,也就是说,如果幅度偏差值的绝对值在预设幅度误差范围内,而且相位偏差值的绝对值也在预设相位误差范围内,那么确定满足预设误差条件,这个时候,测试仪器用于对所有第一RF通道对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,并且得到校正后的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。

接下来,可以按照一定的顺序逐一开启第二RF通道,举个例子,假设现在第一相控阵中有9个第一RF通道,且第二相控阵也有9个第二RF通道,按照顺序,这9个第二RF通道依次编号为1至9号。一开始,9个第二RF通道都是出于关闭状态的,于是,先开启1号第二RF通道,然后通过1号第二RF通道接收通过与之对应的1号第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,再关闭1号第二RF通道,接着开启2号第二RF通道,通过2号第二RF通道接收通过与之对应的2号第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,以此类推,直到来自9个第一RF通道的耦合信号都被接收。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供了一种相控阵校测的方法以及校测装置,可以提升检测效率,减小占地面积,降低成本低,从而大幅度地缩减相控阵校正所需时间以及提升相控阵产品的检测效率。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的本申请的实施例例如能够以除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
应理解,本申请可以应用于快速校正相控阵天线产品的场景,相控阵天线是目前卫星移动通信系统中最重要的一种天线形式,由三个部分组成:天线阵、馈电网络和波束控制器。基本原理是微处理器接收到包含通信方向的控制信息后,根据控制软件提供的算法计算出各个移相器的相移量,然后通过天线控制器来控制馈电网络完成移相过程。由于移相能够补偿同一信号到达各个不同阵元而产生的时间差,所以此时天线阵的输出同相叠加达到最大。一旦信号方向发生变化,只要通过调整移相器的相移量就可使天线阵波束的最大 指向做相应的变化,从而实现波束扫描和跟踪。相控阵天线有相控扫描线天线阵和平面相控阵天线。
相控阵在快速跟踪雷达和测相等领域得到广泛的应用,它可以使主瓣指向随着通信的需要而不断地调整。通过控制阵列天线中辐射单元的馈电相位改变方向图形状的天线。控制相位可以改变天线方向图最大值的指向,以达到波速扫描的目的。在特殊情况下,也可以控制副瓣电平、最小值位置和整个方向图的形状。用机械方法旋转天线时,惯性大且速度慢,相控阵天线克服了这个缺点,波速的扫描高。它的馈电相一般用电子计算机(即主控装备)控制,相位变化速度快,即天线方向图最大值指向或其他参数的变化迅速。这是相控阵天线的最大特点。
为了便于介绍,请参阅图1,图1为本申请实施例中校测装置的一个结构示意图,如图所示,本申请提供了一种基于亚波长间距镜像直耦的校测装置,顾名思义,该校测装置不再采用馈线耦合机理、近场扫描机制和远场旋转矢量方法中的任一项进行相控阵通道的幅相校正,而是采用一个已经标定好的镜像相控阵,以亚波长距离与待测相控阵面对面放置,通过阵元天线之间的紧贴直通耦合机理,实现对待测相控阵全部通道的快速幅相校正。
图1中的镜像校正测试阵列的结构和功能与待测相控阵的结构和功能一致,为了方便对每一个射频(radio frequency,RF)通道进行逐一地幅相校正,由开关矩阵实现对各个RF通道的控制。如果将镜像校正测试阵列所有RF通道的开关全部同时接入到接收通道,可以在数秒内完成全部RF通道的同步幅相校正。在校测过程中,可以由机械手臂通过预先规范设计的精密定位孔装置,将待测相控阵与镜像校正测试阵列进行精准地空间对接、装配和拆离。此外,图1中的波束控制器用于控制待测相控阵的波束指向和波束形状,而镜像阵列控制器用于控制镜像校正测试阵列的波束指向和波束形状。
从近远场角度进行划分,本申请采用了一种超近场相控阵校正的方法。从工作机理角度来看,本申请采用了电磁谐振耦合的机制,即利用面对面紧贴阵元间的直通耦合谐振信号的信息,而不是通过电磁探针测量近场、中场或远场的空间电磁场信息,进行通道的幅相校正。本申请不需要做近场扫描,也无需精密的电磁探针和成本高昂的电磁暗室环境,因此校正速度快,检测效率高,占地面积小,且成本低,可以实现相控阵产品的批量在线校测,能极大地缩减相控阵校正所需时间以及提升相控阵产品的检测效率,尤其适用于大批量相控阵产品的校测。
可以理解的是,在本申请中,各个RF通道以及RF通道中的有源器件均可以依据测试场景进行匹配。
其中,关于各个RF通道在测试场景中的匹配方式为,假设待测相控阵为9元天线(即包含9个RF通道),那么就需要将镜像校正测试阵列中的9个RF通道与待测相控阵的9个RF通道进行匹配,以进行测试。
关于各个RF通道中的有源器件在测试场景中的匹配方式为,若待测相控阵处于信号发射场景,则可以通过调整待测相控阵中的有源器件来控制输出功率,输出功率可以为大于或等于0dbm。若镜像校正测试阵列处于信号接收场景,则可以通过调整镜像校正测试阵列中的有源器件来控制输入功率,输入功率可以为大于或等于-130dbm,且小于或等于 0dbm。
需要说明的是,有源器件包含但不仅限于功率放大器、集成稳压器、比较器以及波形发生器,此处不做限定。
请参阅图2,本申请实施例中相控阵校测的方法一个实施例包括:
101、校测装置通过第二射频RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,校测装置包含第一相控阵和第二相控阵,其中,第一相控阵为待检测的相控阵,第一相控阵包含第一RF通道,第二相控阵包含第二RF通道,第一RF通道的拓扑结构与第二RF通道的拓扑结构具有镜像对称关系,第二相控阵的辐射阵面与第一相控阵的辐射阵面之间间隔亚波长距离;
本实施例中,采用包含第一相控阵和第二相控阵的校测装置,其中,第一相控阵即为待检测的相控阵,具体可以是待检测的相控阵天线。第二相控阵即为镜像校正测试阵列。第一相控阵包含至少一个第一RF通道,第二相控阵包含至少一个第二RF通道,第二相控阵中第二RF通道的数量需要大于或等于第一RF通道的数量,这样才能使得每个第一RF通道都能与第二RF通道对应上,即第一RF通道与第二RF通道为面对面耦合。第一相控阵的辐射阵面与第二相控阵的辐射阵面之间间隔亚波长距离,通常波长的量级为微米,而亚波长的量级为纳米,因此亚波长比波长更小。其中,第一RF通道的拓扑结构与第二RF通道的拓扑结构具有对应关系,这里的拓扑结构是指硬件上的结构,例如第一RF通道与第二RF通道之间的间距,以及第一RF通道和第二RF通道数量。但是,拓扑结构不包括有源器件的间距和数量,比如,第二RF通道上部署有衰减器,第一RF通道上可以无需部署衰减器。又比如,第一RF通道上部署有放大器,而第二RF通道上不需要部署放大器。
具体地,预先构建一个与第一相控阵通道单元数目相同或更多的第二相控阵,请参阅图3,图3为本申请实施例中第二相控阵的一个结构示意图,如图所示,假设第二相控阵包括一个9元天线阵列,该9元天线阵列与功分器相接,通过功分器将一路输入信号能量分成多路输出相等或不相等的信号,此外,也可以将多路信号能量合成一路输出。一个功分器的输出端口之间应该保证一定的隔离度。
将第二相控阵进行严格地精密校正之后,安装在固定的流水线检测平台上,作为第一相控阵的标准校测设备。第二相控阵的每个第二RF通道由开关矩阵进行通断控制。
更具体地,每检测一个第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,还可以采用如下的步骤:
在第一步中,当所有与第一RF通道镜像对称的第二RF通道都处于关闭状态时,开启这些第二RF通道中的第n个第二RF通道,其中,n为正整数,且n不会大于第一RF通道的总个数。在第二步中,校测装置通过该第n个第二RF通道接收来自第n个第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,当然,这里的第n个第二RF通道与第n个第一RF通道之间也是具有镜像对称关系的。耦合信号接收完毕后,在第三步中关闭该第二RF通道。
上述的第一步至第三步可以检测第一相控阵中的任意一个从第一RF通道发送来的耦合信号,第一相控阵中的所有第一RF通道都可以采用上述三个步骤进行耦合信号的发送,直至第一RF通道所发送的耦合信号均被第二RF通道接收。
例如,第一相控阵中有9个第一RF通道,且第二相控阵也有20个第二RF通道,按照顺序,这20个第二RF通道依次编号为1至20号,然而与第一RF通道具有镜像对称关 系的第二RF通道依次编号为1至9号。一开始,9个第二RF通道都是处于关闭状态的,于是,先开启1号第二RF通道,然后通过1号第二RF通道接收通过与之对应的1号第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,再关闭1号第二RF通道,接着开启2号第二RF通道,通过2号第二RF通道接收通过与之对应的2号第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,以此类推,直到来自9个第一RF通道的耦合信号都被接收。
可以理解的是,在实际应用中,第二RF通道可以不按照固定顺序来接收耦合信号。
102、校测装置根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值;
本实施例中,校测装置首先根据从第一相控阵传递过来的耦合信号,确定每个第一RF通道所对应的幅度值和相位值。然后根据标准计量数据计算出每个第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值。
具体地,以第二相控阵的天线罩阵面作为相位参考面,以第二相控阵每个第二RF通道对应的标准计量数据作为测量基准,采用多RF通道矢量网络分析仪对第一相控阵进行通道的幅相测量。假设我们将第一RF通道对应的标准计量数据记做
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000001
其中,i表示第i个第一RF通道,N表示第一RF通道的数量,
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000002
表示第i个第一RF通道的预设幅度值,
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000003
表示第i个第一RF通道的预设相位值。在RF通道逐一校正的模式下,由开关矩阵依照第二RF通道的编号顺序,实现对第二相控阵中每个第二RF通道的开关进行通断切换,从而逐一地对第一相控阵的各个第一RF通道进行幅相测量和校正。
在全通道同步校正模式下,由开关矩阵将第二相控阵中所有第二RF通道的开关置于通道接收状态,然后同步测量和记录所有第一RF通道耦合过来的信号,这些耦合信号记做a ii,i=1,2,L,N,其中,i表示第i个第一RF通道,N表示第一RF通道的数量,a i表示第i个第一RF通道的幅度值,φ i表示第i个第一RF通道的相位值。通过与标准计量数据进行比对,可以计算出各个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值。
例如,可以采用如下公式计算第i个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值:
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000004
可以采用如下公式计算第i个第一RF通道的相位偏差值:
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000005
其中,Δa i表示第i个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值,Δφ表示第i个第一RF通道的相位偏差值。
可以理解的是,如果第k个第一RF通道耦合信号的幅度值a k远远大于或小于其对照单元计量数据
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000006
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000007
或者
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000008
则判定第一相控阵中的第k个第一RF通道出现异常或存在通道故障,因此不进行后续的通道幅相校正。类似地,如果第k个第一RF通道耦合信号的相位值φ k远远大于或小于其对照单元计量数据
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000009
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000010
或者
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000011
则判定第一相控阵中的第k个第一RF通道出现异常或存在通道故障,同样不进行后续的通道幅相校正。k为1至N中的任意一个整数。
103、若幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件,则校测装置对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,以得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数;
本实施例中,在得到幅度偏差值和相位偏差值之后,需要判断幅度偏差值的绝对值是 否在预设幅度误差范围内,且相位偏差值的绝对值是否在预设相位误差范围内,若两个条件均满足,则确定幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足所预设误差校正条件,也就是需要对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,直到校正后的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件为止,并得到校正后的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。反之,如果幅度偏差值的绝对值不在预设幅度误差范围内,或相位偏差值的绝对值不在预设相位误差范围内,也就说明不需要对幅度系数与相位系数进行校正了。
具体地,可以预先设定幅相阈值,即幅度阈值a th和相位阈值φ th,然后根据a th和φ th分别对每个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值Δa i和相位偏差值Δφ i进行判断。满足预设误差校正条件时,即为
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000012
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000013
这个时候需要对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,直到各个第一RF通道在第二相控阵参考面上的最大幅度偏差值小于预先设定的幅度阈值a th,以及最大相位偏差值小于预先设定的相位阈值φ th
不满足预设误差校正条件时,即为
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000014
和/或
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000015
此时,也就不需要再对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正。
可以理解的是,可以根据实际情况设定幅度阈值a th和相位阈值φ th,对于普通的相控阵而言,幅度阈值a th可设定在-10分贝(decibel,dB)以下,相位阈值φ th可设定在10°以下。对于高精度相控阵而言,幅度阈值a th可设定在-20dB以下,相位阈值φ th可设定在1°以下。然而,在实际应用中,还可以根据需求设定幅度阈值a th和相位阈值φ th,此处仅为一个示意,并不应理解为对本申请的限定。
104、校测装置采用目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数测量第一相控阵的性能指标参数。
本实施例中,在校测装置对所有第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正之后,可以得到各个第一RF通道对应的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。
具体地,在第一相控阵的所有第一RF通道校正完毕后,可利用第二相控阵的后端处理设备,对第一相控阵的性能指标参数进行在线监测,这些性能指标参数包含但不仅限于等效全向辐射功率(effective isotropic radiated power,ERIP)、误差向量幅度(error vector magnitude,EVM)和误码率(bit error rate,BER)。
校测装置还可以根据目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数确定第一相控阵的波束方向图。可以采用如下公式计算第一相控阵的波束方向图,即可以对第一相控阵合成波束方向图进行预测:
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000016
其中,
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000017
表示第一相控阵合成波束方向图,
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000018
表示第一相控阵中单元方向图,a i表示第一相控阵中已经校正完毕的第i个第一RF通道对应耦合信号的目标幅度系数,φ i表示第一相控阵中已经校正完毕的第i个第一RF通道对应耦合信号的目标相位系数,k表示自由空间波矢,r i表示第一相控阵中第i个第一RF通道的位置矢量。
本申请实施例中,提供了一种相控阵校测的方法,该方法主要应用于校测装置,校测装置包含第一相控阵和第二相控阵,第一相控阵包含第一射频RF通道,第二相控阵包含第二RF通道,第一RF通道与第二RF通道具有对应关系,且第二相控阵的辐射阵面与第 一相控阵的辐射阵面之间间隔亚波长距离。首先校测装置通过第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号,然后根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值,如果幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件,则校测装置需要对第一RF通道所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,以得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数,最后校测装置可以采用目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数测量第一相控阵的性能指标参数。通过上述方式,由一个标定好的镜像相控阵,以亚波长距离与待测相控阵面对面放置,通过阵元天线之间的紧贴直通耦合机理,对待测相控阵的全部RF通道进行快速幅相校正,从而提升检测效率,减小占地面积,降低成本低,可以大幅度地缩减相控阵校正所需时间以及提升相控阵产品的检测效率。
可选地,在上述图2对应的实施例的基础上,本申请实施例提供的相控阵校测的方法第一个可选实施例中根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值之后,还可以包括:
获取第一RF通道在空间中的第一位置矢量以及第二RF通道在空间中的第二位置矢量;
根据第一位置矢量和第二位置矢量确定幅度系数以及相位系数;
根据第一RF通道产生的近区电场、第二RF通道产生的近区电场、幅度系数以及相位系数计算耦合系数。
本实施例中,将介绍如何计算耦合系数,首先校测装置获取第一RF通道在空间中的第一位置矢量,以及第二RF通道在空间中的第二位置矢量,然后利用第一位置矢量和第二位置矢量计算得到幅度系数和相位系数,该幅度系数和相位系数为待校正的参数。最后,校测装置根据第一RF通道产生的近区电场、第二RF通道产生的近区电场、幅度系数和相位系数计算得到耦合系数。
具体地,如果第一相控阵的所有第一RF通道耦合信号没有异常偏离标准计量数据,则可以对第一相控阵中的各个第一RF通道进行幅度系数和相位系数的校正。可以理解的是,校正之前还需要确定该幅度系数对应的幅度偏差值,以及相位系数对应的相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件。
基于各个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值(即Δa i,Δφ i,i=1,2,L,N),采用通道直通耦合补偿计算公式、蒙特卡罗概率统计预估以及迭代最小二乘算法,对第一相控阵的各个第一RF通道进行校正。在亚波长间距下,采用如下公式可以计算耦合系数:

在实际应用中,第一相控阵的阵面和第二相控阵的阵面可能无法做到完全平行,请参阅图4,图4为本申请实施例中第一相控阵与第二相控阵的阵面示意图,第一相控阵的阵面与第二相控阵的阵面之间可能具有夹角。下面将针对夹角大小和阵面是否平行的情况对如何计算得到目标幅度系数和目标相位系数进行介绍。
情形一,第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面平行;
请参阅图5,图5为本申请实施例中第一相控阵阵面与第二相控阵阵面平行的实施例示意图,如图所示,在理想情况下,
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000026
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000027
在一条理想的直线上时,第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面完全平行,无轴向偏离,且单元中心对齐,所有直通耦合RF通道之间的间距都相等。在阵面严格平行条件下,运用后向回传三层人工神经网络模型,即建立x向与耦合系数C ii关系模型、y向与耦合系数C ii关系模型以及xy向平行偏移位置(Δx,Δy)与耦合系数C ii关系模型,这三个关系模型可以统称为预设关系模型。
然后在实测数据的基础上,利用人工智能学习算法以及蒙特卡罗概率预测方法,对幅度系数
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000028
和相位系数
Figure PCTCN2018085202-appb-000029
进行校正,以提升单元通道校正精度,并得到校正后的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。
情形二,第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面不平行;
请参阅图6,图6为本申请实施例中第一相控阵阵面与第二相控阵阵面不平行的实施例示意图,由于实际加工误差、各阵元天线的装配误差、空间对接定位误差以及由结构应力造成的器件形变误差等因素,会导致第一相控阵的第一RF通道排布不整齐,第一相控阵阵面不严格平行于第二相控阵阵面。首先使第一相控阵与第二相控阵的主轴在空间上不平行,形成一定的夹角。
可以理解的是,小角度夹角可以为10度、15度或20度,大角度夹角可以为45度、50度或60度,在实际应用中,还可以根据情况定义小角度夹角和大角度夹角,此处不做限定。
对于第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面不平行的情况,即偏离主轴的情况下,则需要获取第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面之间的夹角,利用坐标旋转变换和近场耦合矩阵分析法,分别对小角度偏离的耦合系数(包括直耦和RF通道间互耦)和大角度偏离的耦合系数(包括直耦和RF通道间互耦)进行校正。
若夹角属于小角度夹角,则根据第一幅度修正系数以及幅度系数计算目标幅度系数, 并根据第一相位修正系数以及相位系数计算目标相位系数,其中,第一幅度修正系数表示预先设置的不同方向上的幅度修正系数,第一相位修正系数表示预先设置的不同方向上的相位修正系数。在小角度主轴偏离下,经过校正后的幅度系数和相位系数分别为:

其次,本申请实施例中,通过构建一个标准的且多通道开关控制的第二相控阵,采用面对面的直耦技术,将第一相控阵的每路第一RF通道的信息进行逐次采集,在亚波长间 距下实现第一相控阵的第一RF通道幅相校正、通道故障失效检测以及性能指标参数测算。通过上述方式,可以高效地校测相控阵天线,且稳定性号,维护方便,适用于批量的产品ian流水检测,从而提升方案的实用性和可操作性。
可选地,在上述图2对应的实施例的基础上,本申请实施例提供的相控阵校测的方法第二个可选实施例中通过第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号之前,还可以包括:
当第二RF通道的传输幅度值最大时,确定第一相控阵与第二相控阵之间的对应位置。
本实施例中,在校测装置通过第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送来的耦合信号之前,需要对准第一相控阵和第二相控阵。
具体地,首先由校测装置在x轴和y轴维度进行峰值搜索,x轴和y轴分别是横轴和纵轴。通过峰值搜索得到第二相控阵在不同的坐标位置所对应的传输幅度值,坐标位置即为x轴和y轴上的位置。一种可行的方式为,当所有第二RF通道传输幅度值均方根(root meam square,RMS)为最大值时,可以认为第一相控阵的阵面与第二相控阵的阵面对准,从而能够继续进行后续的相控阵校测。
其次,本申请实施例中,在通过第二RF通道接收通过第一RF通道发送的耦合信号之后,还需要对第一相控阵和第二相控阵进行位置调整,调整到最佳位置时,第二RF通道的传输幅度值应为最大。通过上述方式,能够采用物理位置搜索的方式,找到第一相控阵和第二相控阵位置上的最优点,并以此进行校测,从而达到更准确高效的校测效果。
为了便于理解,下面以一个具体应用场景对本申请实施例中的一种相控阵校测的方法进行详细描述,请参阅图7,图7为本申请应用场景中校测装置的一个功能示意图,如图所示,通过机械手臂,将待测相控阵(第一相控阵)的定位孔对准镜像校正测试阵列(第二相控阵)的定位标记,并进行待测相控阵的空间装配。为保证RF通道之间直通耦合的效率,待测相控阵的天线罩和镜像校正测试阵列的天线罩之间间隔为d 0,d 0由定位销钉装置固定在亚波长量级,即小于1/5的中心工作波长。
于是,此时待测相控阵和镜像校正测试阵列之间间隔为d,待测相控阵到待测相控阵天线罩之间的距离为d 1,待测相控阵的天线罩和镜像校正测试阵列的天线罩之间间隔为d 0,镜像校正测试阵列到镜像校正测试阵列天线罩之间的距离为d 2,则d=d 1+d 0+d 2
以9元待测相控阵为例,采用同样的9元天线镜像校正测试阵列,放置在离待测相控阵的距离为d 0=1/20波长处的位置,天线罩1的厚度为d 1=1/15波长,将天线罩1罩在待测相控阵上。天线罩2的厚度为d 2=1/15波长,将天线罩2罩在镜像校正测试阵列上。镜像校正测试阵列的9元天线分别连接9个相同的单刀单掷开关,再与功分器相接。
一个标准的且多通道开关控制的第二相控阵,采用面对面的直耦技术,在亚波长间距下实现第一相控阵的通道幅相校正、通道故障失效检测以及性能指标参数测算。
下面将通过一个具体的应用场景说明如何对第一相控阵阵面和第二相控阵阵面进行偏离校正,请继续参阅图7,首先对没有偏离的耦合系数进行计算,记为r 1,然后保持第一相控阵y方向不变,在x方向上偏离x 1=2mm,x 2=3mm,x 3=4mm,对其耦合系数进行计算得到rx 1,rx 2,rx 3。同样,保持第一相控阵x方向不变,在y向偏离y 1=2mm,y 2=3mm,y 3=4mm,对其耦合系数计算得到ry 1,ry 2,ry 3。最后,对x 1=2mm,x 2=3mm,x 3=4mm、y 1=2mm, y 2=3mm,y 3=4mm的偏离进行耦合系数计算得到r 11,r 12,r 13,r 21,r 22,r 23,ry 31,ry 32,ry 33,采用实测数据,利用人工智能学习算法,分别建立位置偏差x,y与耦合系数r的关系模型,提升耦合系数计算精度。
最后,经过实测的阵面在x轴、y轴和z轴的偏离误差,代入上述耦合系数计算公式,计算出耦合系数的幅度系数和相位系数,并结合各个第一RF通道的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值(Δa i,Δφ i,i=1,2,L,N),计算出每个第一RF通道实际的幅度和相位误差数据,并将其反馈到第一相控阵,利用第一相控阵的可调衰减器和移相器进行第一RF通道的参数校正设置。
结合图7所示的内容,请参阅图8,图8为本申请应用场景中相控阵校测的方法一个流程示意图,如图所示,在步骤201中,首先需要准备校正及测试相控阵的架设,即构建一个测试环境,包括一个与待测相控阵(第一相控阵)通道单元数相同或者更多的镜像校正测试阵列(第二相控阵)。采用国家标准的计量设备对镜像校正测试阵列进行校准,并安装在流水线检测平台上。
在步骤202中,采集待测相控阵RF通道的幅度数据和相位数据,具体地,在进行流水线测试时,机械手臂将待测相控阵进行定位孔安装,然后采用面对面的直耦技术,在亚波长间距下采集待测相控阵的RF通道幅度数据和相位数据。
在步骤203中,对待测相控阵RF通道的幅度数据和相位数据进行校正。
在步骤204中,在待测相控阵校正完毕之后,可以进一步地对待测相控阵的性能指标参数进行测量,其中,性能指标参数包含发射性能指标和接收性能指标等。
在步骤205中,对已经采集的测试数据进行判断和分析,如果幅度数据和相位数据异常(全部幅度数据和相位数据或者部分幅度数据和相位数据超过阈值),则返回至步骤202,反之,如果幅度数据和相位数据均正常,则执行步骤206。
在步骤206中,输出测试结果,由此完成测试,这个时候可以利用机械手拆离已经测试好的相控阵,然后进行下一个待测相控阵的校测,即继续重复步骤201至步骤205。
下面对本申请中的校测装置进行详细描述,请参阅图9,本申请实施例中的校测装置30包含第一相控阵301、第二相控阵302和测试仪器303,其中,第一相控阵301为待检测的相控阵,第一相控阵301包含第一RF通道3011,第二相控阵302包含第二RF通道3021,第一RF通道3011的拓扑结构与第二RF通道3021的拓扑结构具有镜像对称关系,第二相控阵302的辐射阵面与第一相控阵301的辐射阵面之间间隔亚波长距离,校测装置30包括:
第二相控阵302用于通过第二RF通道3021接收第一相控阵301通过第一RF通道3011发送的耦合信号;
测试仪器303用于根据耦合信号确定第一RF通道3011所对应的幅度偏差值以及相位偏差值;
若幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件,则测试仪器303用于对第一RF通道3011所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,以得到目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数;
测试仪器303用于采用目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数测量第一相控阵3011的性能 指标参数。
本实施例中,首先可以通过机械手臂,将第一相控阵301的定位孔对准第二相控阵302的定位标记,进行第一相控阵301的空间装配。需要说明的是,对准的方式可以是激光对准或者可销钉定位,还可以是其他的对阵方式,此处不做限定。
为了保证第一RF通道3011与第二RF通道之间直通耦合的效率,第一相控阵301的天线罩和第二相控阵302的天线罩之间间隔为d 0,d 0小于波长。假设第一相控阵301和第二相控阵302之间间隔为d,第一相控阵301到第一相控阵301天线罩之间的距离为d 1,第二相控阵302的天线罩和第一相控阵301的天线罩之间间隔为d 0,第二相控阵302到第二相控阵302天线罩之间的距离为d 2,则d=d 1+d 0+d 2
此外,当第二RF通道3021的传输幅度值最大时,测试仪器303可以确定第一相控阵301与第二相控阵302之间的对应位置。
校测装置30首先根据从第一相控阵301传递过来的耦合信号,确定每个第一RF通道3011所对应的幅度值和相位值。然后根据标准计量数据计算出每个第一RF通道3011所对应的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值。在得到幅度偏差值和相位偏差值之后,需要判断幅度偏差值的绝对值是否在预设幅度误差范围内,且相位偏差值的绝对值是否在预设相位误差范围内,若两个条件均满足,则确定幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足所预设误差校正条件,也就是需要对第一RF通道3011所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正,直到校正后的幅度偏差值和相位偏差值满足预设误差校正条件为止,并得到校正后的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。反之,如果幅度偏差值的绝对值不在预设幅度误差范围内,或相位偏差值的绝对值不在预设相位误差范围内,也就说明不需要对幅度系数与相位系数进行校正了。
最后,校测装置30对所有第一RF通道3011所对应的幅度系数与相位系数进行校正之后,可以得到各个第一RF通道3011对应的目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数。此外,校测装置30还可以根据目标幅度系数以及目标相位系数确定第一相控阵301的波束方向图。
