Abstract

The invention relates to a radar receiver circuit, in particular to a protection method for an X-band radar receiver. The radar receiver is characterized by comprising two high-power PIN diode switches, two magic Ts and a passive limiter, wherein the two magic Ts and two large-power PIN diodes form two right-angle electric bridges which then form two single-pole single-throw reflective switches. When a radar transmitter transmits microwave high-power pulses, a control signal renders the PIN diodes in the two right-angle electric bridges electrified and a single-pole single-throw switch formed by the magic T1 and magic T1 completely reflective; while when the radar transmitter stops transmitting signals and receives back waves, a control signal renders the PIN diodes not electrified and the single-pole single-throw switch formed by the magic T1 and magic T1 completely electrified. The radar receiver circuit has the advantages of long service life, large high-power bearing capacity and small influence on signal transmission.

Background technology

At present, so almost the protector of high powered radar receiver has all adopted gas-discharge tube, promptly TR manages; its principle is that gas is under the High-Power Microwave electromagnetic field effect; producing ionization becomes electric conductor, and transmitting with prevention enters receiver, thereby has protected the microwave device of receiver front end.The TR pipe can be protected receiver, but has two fatal shortcomings:

Life-span is short: because gas ionization can sacrificial electrode and gas, the TR tube lifetime that generally adds direct current biasing is about 500 hours, also can only reach 3000 hours even adopt radioisotopic TR to manage its life-span.

The phase noise that transmits is degenerated: because gas ionization can produce very big noise, and the TR pipe is total-reflection type, so these noises can reflex to transmitter, and the phase noise that transmits is degenerated.This is unallowed for high performance pulse Doppler radar.
