The transmitter 5 of b, transmitting-receiving feeder line passage is by transmitting-receiving feed 2 to radar antenna 1 microwave radiation energy, and radar antenna 1 radiate powerful microwave energy to dimensional orientation;
Specifically emission process is, the highpowerpulse signal that transmitter 5 is launched outputs to backward radar antenna 1 microwave radiation energy of transmitting-receiving feed 2 through transmit-receive switch 4, transmitting-receiving feeder line 3, and radar antenna 1 radiate powerful microwave energy again to dimensional orientation.
C, after the fire pulse width of launching highpowerpulse signal through transmitter 5 and reached before release time of limiter 6 of transmitting-receiving feeder line passage, the microwave signal reflecting by receiving feed 8 receiving radar antennas 1, and by receiving feeder line 9, the echoed signal that receives feed 8 receptions is transferred to signal processing terminal system by receiver system, to realize the detection to close-in target;
From the above, when the powerful pulse signal of transmitter 5 transmitting, limiter 6 need to just can carry out work through a release time, and be △ T release time.Before reaching the release time of limiter 6, in order to realize the detection to close-in target, need to echoed signal be transferred to receiver system by receiving the reception feed 8 of feeder line passage and receiving feeder line 9, and transfer to signal processing terminal system by receiver system, by signal processing terminal system docking, received after the echo signal processing of feed 8 receptions, realize the detection to close-in target.

Suppose α=0.1 °, when projector distance is that L(is assumed to be 2000m) locate, have a moving object M(such as insect M) from direction shown in Fig. 3, fly over the dead ahead of radar antenna 1, if the rotational speed omega of radar antenna 1 and the combination of radar transmitter frequency can allow the wave beam OA(angle be α just) in often turning, over against mobile object M, carry out twice sweep, can calculate well like this movement velocity and the direction of motion of mobile object M.If R(is assumed to be 150m at projector distance) locate a duplicate moving object N(of kinetic characteristic such as insect N) by direction shown in Fig. 3, fly over the dead ahead of radar antenna 1, if continue, with wave beam OA, survey, obviously except the factor of detection blind area, spatial relationship, can find, wave beam does not effectively irradiate target, and detection performance cannot guarantee.Only have with wave beam OC(: with compared with mitre β) carry out conical scanning and just likely effectively survey.
The value of angle β is relevant with distance R, antenna rotation rate ω, the frequency of transmitting and the speed V of moving target that emphasis is surveyed.Therefore, the locus that receives feed 8 can be rationally set as required, the angle β that adjusts its received beam effectively surveys target to desirable position.For surveying the target of multistage emphasis distance, can set up a plurality of receiving cables that are similar to reception feed 8 and the second receiver 10 and realize.
In Fig. 3, suppose antenna rotational speed omega (revolutions per second) just can allow wave beam OC over against moving object N, carry out twice sweep in often turning with the combination of transmission frequency, time T=0.5/ ω of twice sweep, the angle β of wave beam OC, has
β=?arctg(V/ω/2/R)
If wave beam OA(angle is α) also just can in often turning, over against moving object M, carry out twice sweep, the pass of β and α is:
β=arctg(L·tgα/R)
If L=2000m, α=0.1 °, R=150m:
β=arctg(2000·tg0.1/150)=1.33°。
1), to the research emphasis of radar range, be the long-range detection to target in radar detection field, often think:.2), feed departs from the detection performance of antenna Focus Club reduction radar to target; 3), the conical scanning wave beam of mitre, no matter the radar of Precision tracking radar or other purposes is had little significance.
