Description

Holography method is adopted to measure the method for surface accuracy of antenna
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method adopting holography method to measure surface accuracy of antenna.
Background technology
Microwave holography method is an important method of parabola antenna surface testing, and it is based on following electromagnetic theory and a geometry fact that holography method measures surface accuracy of antenna.
Electromagnetic theory: because the far field of antenna and aperture field exist two-dimensional Fourier transform relation, by measuring amplitude and the phase place of complex number plane internal antenna radiation field (far field), just can be released amplitude and the PHASE DISTRIBUTION of antenna aperture field by mathematical measure, then just can understand antenna surface face shape according to the geometric relationship in parabola and bore face and depart from paraboloidal situation.Fig. 1 is a desirable circular equiphase bore face, and Fig. 2 is its far-field radiation map of magnitudes, and both are by two-dimensional Fourier transform opening relationships, that is obtains wherein that any one just can release another by mathematical measure.
Geometry is true: if desirable parabola, focus there is emissive source, signal is through parabolic reflector, Wave-front phase value so in bore plane will everywhere equal (because equal to the optical path length of bore plane from focus), but in the realistic case, antenna surface can not be completely desirable parabola, so the phase place in bore plane is also inevitable unequal, when signal source wavelength is known, by detecting this phase differential, the minute differences between antenna surface and desirable parabola just can be determined theoretically.Fig. 3 is one and distorts wavefront schematic diagram intuitively.
On the realization rate measured, first the high speed processing performance of hardware is utilized, obtain the holographic information of Antenna Far Field in real time, the namely amplitude of corresponding diagram 2 and phase place, then data calibrated and compensate, again two-dimentional inverse Fourier transform is done to these data, obtain aperture field phase place and energy distribution (the namely information of Fig. 1, certain Fig. 1 is desirable constant phase front, reality phase place on bore face departs to some extent), release antenna surface shape finally by geometric relationship strict between parabola and bore face and depart from desirable paraboloidal deviation.
We make use of the general hardware device in domestic VLBI research station at present, set up our desired measuring system, this comprises tested She Shan 25 meters of antenna (i.e. main antennas, MainAntenna), Ku band receiver, hydrogen atomic clock (Maze), VLBI baseband converter (BBC), for the multi-purpose computer of sky line traffic control and data record.The equipment that will configure in addition has bore 1.2 meters of reference antennas and hardware to shut down mutually.We have employed the beacon signal of the 12.26GHz of synchronous satellite Sinosat-1, as measuring signal.Because signal source must meet far field condition, for She Shan 25 meter radio telescope, far field distance condition is
R ≥ 2 D 2 λ = 2 × 25 2 2.4 × 10 - 2 = 52.083 km
D-antenna aperture (25m); The wavelength (12.26GHz correspondence about 2.4cm) of λ-holographic measurement signal source
Know by investigating us, the actual range of Sinosat-1 distance She Shanzhan is about 36952km, so satellite-signal meets far field condition completely.
Fig. 4 shows the hardware system that the current holographic measurement possessed is used, and in figure, main antenna is tested antenna; Reference antenna is used to the change of tracking signal source, and the down coversion link of two antennas is identical.Wherein: AMP is pre-low-noise amplifier, DRO is that dielectric oscillator (by 10MHz frequency multiplication to 11.3GHz) is as local oscillation signal, the Ku wave band high-frequency signal of the 12.26GHz of antenna reception is mixed to about 960MHz, then by cable transmission to VLBI BBC (very long baseline interference baseband converter), be down-converted to again within 4MHz, finally two-way baseband signal is sent into and shut down mutually, with Real-time solution cross-correlation phase place and amplitude, and auto-correlation amplitude.The data obtained of shutting down mutually are transferred to PC/ data record, and then are transferred to antenna control unit.
When measurement, reference antenna is all the time facing to satellite-signal, main antenna then does network scanning as Fig. 5 (object is to obtain far-field information) around signal source, and allow main antenna directional signal source every two minutes, effectively can follow the tracks of the change of cross-correlation phase place and amplitude like this.Whole measurement observation time is 1 and a half hours, and the bore space of planes resolution of use is 0.5 meter.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart of data processing block diagram of current employing.Wherein, relevant rear data message comes phase place, amplitude after the two paths of signals cross-correlation of auto-correlation machine reception, and the auto-correlation amplitude information of two antennas.Main antenna points to data, refers to the time of main antenna real time record when doing network scanning around satellite, orientation and pitch information, and status information, from antenna computer for controlling.By above two data, just cross-correlation phase information during network scanning state accurately can be extracted (far-field information that this information is exactly main antenna), also the record data of data quality accessment can just be provided this time, after grid data is calibrated, according to the mathematical relation of Antenna Far Field and aperture field, just the aperture field information of antenna can be solved out from far-field information by two-dimentional inverse Fourier transform, so just be aware of the deformation situation (being exactly face shape gradient search, the reconstruct of face shape in mapping process) in bore face.Finally statistical information and drawing output.Wherein grid data is aligned in a great extent by face shape computational accuracy final for impact, therefore needs to provide in a kind of holographic measurement can improve grid data calibration thus the method improving face shape computational accuracy.

Embodiment
Describe the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
At the flow chart of data processing alignment grid data of holographic measurement mainly in order to deduct the error of measuring amount, or perhaps improve the accuracy of measuring amount.Here main measuring amount is that the phase place that cross-correlation obtains (namely enters the phase differential of the two paths of signals shut down mutually, an effect of shutting down mutually is exactly the phase differential of real-time resolving two paths of signals, if this two paths of signals identical single point-frequency signal that is frequency, just understanding of very well, be exactly at this time the phase differential of two sine wave signals, " phase place " mentioned herein all refers to the phase differential of two paths of signals).In order to improve the accuracy of phase place, present applicant proposes following methods:
The hardware system that the method adopts as shown in Figure 7.In close signal source, such as in the frequency of beacon signal 12.26GHz, artificially is injected or is launched a reference signal (main antenna and reference antenna inject by a reference signal simultaneously in other words), such as produce this reference signal by signal generator as shown in Figure 7, remainder is same as shown in Figure 4.Main antenna and the two-way reference signal that reference antenna receives enter into through identical down coversion link to shut down mutually (also needs reference antenna herein all the time facing to reference signal, main antenna then does network scanning around reference signal), then in aftertreatment, the cross-correlation phase differential of this two-way reference signal is extracted (namely according to frequency, the cross-correlation phase differential (namely isolating the cross-correlation phase differential of two paths of signals source signal and the cross-correlation phase differential of two-way reference signal according to frequency) of two-way reference signal is extracted in the output information of shutting down mutually, the relative instability of two antenna receiving systems has just been reacted in the change of this cross-correlation phase differential, if this phase differential is PHA (ref), and the cross-correlation phase differential of beacon signal 12.26GHz being used for measuring be PHA (holo) (under normal circumstances, the two-dimentional inverse Fourier transform of PHA (holo) just can obtain the precision distribution of panel, this is also the means adopted in prior art), and in this method, utilize PHA (holo)-PHA (ref) this difference component to do the precision distribution that two-dimentional inverse Fourier transform obtains panel, because this difference component falls the error counteracting of two antenna receiving systems, but remain real far-field phase change information simultaneously.The former just can be isolated by this amount of PHA (ref) that the problem of antenna receiving system or atmospheric disturbance cause, if just can be easy to deduct the error that this fluctuation causes.This method can PHA (holo) and PHA (ref) in time situation of change all record, PHA (ref) has only reacted the impact that atmospheric disturbance brings, because components of system as directed has balanced out after being subtracted.PHA (holo), then not only with systematic influence but also with atmospheric effect, by comparing this two data sequences, just can distinguish.The advantage of this method is that all errors of system are peeled off on to greatest extent, but needs to design hardware system (mainly the design of Ku wave band Injection Signal and installation).
Second method is multiple spot frequency and bandwidth synthesis method: the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) improving useful signal after the multiple frequency on satellite and broadband signal comprehensively superpose, the final accuracy improving phase place.Some satellites are not only have a beacon signal, and some satellites then do not have beacon signal at all.For these two kinds of distinct situations, in order to make full use of signal on various satellite, can to multiple spot beacon and broadband signal overall treatment frequently.If multiple spot just directly can do average treatment to multiple cross-correlation phase place frequently frequently, if broadband signal, first will calculate delay (delay=delt (the phase)/delt (f) in bandwidth, the namely slope of cross-correlation phase versus frequency, this information is easy to calculate from the output information of shutting down mutually), do delay compensation again, finally do plural number average.
After obtaining the cross-correlation phase place comprehensively, just can comprehensive to this after cross-correlation phase place do calibration process, the core way of this process is: the phase information (general two minutes intervals) when utilizing two adjacent, main antennas and reference antenna simultaneously to point to satellite does linear interpolation process, these interpolated datas calculated are corresponding with phase place during network scanning to be subtracted each other, and this just achieves phase information that is final, that can be used for doing two-dimentional inverse Fourier transform.Adopt this method, compared with differential phase calibration method above, stability and the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of phase place can be improved equally.
The foregoing is only preferred embodiment of the present invention, and be not used to limit scope of the present invention, the above embodiment of the present invention can also make a variety of changes.Namely every claims according to the present patent application and description are done simple, equivalence change and modify, and all fall into claims of the present invention.
