Background technology
The RCS of target (RCS) characteristic is a broadband index normally, therefore need to be under very wide frequency range the RCS value of test target.
RCS characteristic test for target, from hardware system, its theory diagram as shown in Figure 1, mainly main control computer 10, vector network analyzer 12, test table 18 and turntable controller 11 thereof, receiving antenna 15, emitting antenna 14, dual-mode antenna support 13 and low scattering support 17 etc., partly consist of, each several part completes test job jointly by cooperation.The concrete test process that the far field test of take is example introducing system as: first dual-mode antenna 14,15 is erected on antenna holder 13, measured target 16 or calibration standard Metal Ball 19 are placed at a distance on turntable 18 low scattering support 17 above, first system is carried out to RCS calibration, first on the low scattering support 17 of turntable, fixed RC S value is known (has determined its RCS value through strict calibration, or can calculate or emulation draw its accurate RCS value through theory) standard metal ball 19, main control computer 10 is by the total line traffic control vector network analyzer 12 of LAN, under it is controlled, it is S21 that measurement parameter is set, vector network analyzer 12 port ones produce continuous wave pumping signal, by emitting antenna 14, radiate, be irradiated to standard metal ball 19, the signal reflecting is sent in vector network analyzer 12 ports 2 after receiving antenna 15 receives, vector network analyzer 12 is processed to the received signal, main control computer 10 obtains original test data from vector network analyzer 12 by LAN bus, thereby obtain one group of data as frequency response item A1, again standard metal ball 19 is removed, measure background signal as an isolation B1, finally measured target 16 is fixed on low scattering support 17, by controlling the rotation of turntable 18, obtain one group of data as test item C1, according to following formula D1=(C1-B1)/(A1-B1), carry out data processing, can obtain the RCS family curve of the different directions of measured target in this frequency range.The RCS broadband character test of target mainly comprises the directly test and two kinds of modes such as test by switch matrix switching channel of manual replacing antenna.
Manually change the direct test mode line of antenna theory diagram as shown in Figure 1, initial/termination frequency that main control computer 10 arranges according to the frequency range of connect antenna, according to above-mentioned test process, complete the characteristic test of RCS of corresponding band, change again the dual-mode antenna of next frequency range into, complete test, until all frequency ranges are all completed, by computer software, according to frequency values, be finally X-axis, return loss data are Y-axis, surveyed data are incorporated in a figure, can obtain the broadband RCS family curve of measured target.
By switch matrix switching channel test mode, be, main control computer is controlled vector network analyzer and switch matrix, passage by switch matrix switches, the transmitting-receiving port of vector network analyzer is communicated with dual-mode antenna respectively, by main control computer, control, can complete successively the RCS calibration of each frequency range, put the RCS value that can read successively different frequency range after measured target, finally merge the broadband RCS family curve that forms measured target.
By analyzing domestic and international list of references and similar techniques, in order to increase the measurement dynamic range of target RCS characteristic test system, system adopts large gain standard-gain horn antenna mostly with dual-mode antenna, and the frequency range of large gain antenna is generally narrower, when carrying out broadband RCS characteristic test, need often to change electromagnetic horn and test respectively, and test result is merged to finally obtain the RCS characteristic of target under wide frequency ranges very.The RCS characteristic test method of existing target mainly contains two kinds, and a kind of is manually to change the direct method of testing of antenna, and another kind is by switch matrix switching channel method of testing.
Manually change the direct method of testing of antenna and need in a frequency range, calibrate the also RCS value of test target, test finishes the dual-mode antenna of rear another frequency range of replacing, calibrate equally again and test, until complete the test of all frequency ranges, this just causes easily causing in the process of changing antenna that repeatability connects error, and the simultaneously required test duration is longer.
By switch matrix switching channel method of testing, can realize once and connecting, by switching different passages, initial/termination frequency is accordingly set simultaneously, realize calibration, the test of system.This method can effectively be removed caused repeatability in the process of changing antenna and connect error, but joins switch matrix outward owing to having increased, and causes Dynamic Range to have reducing to a certain degree, and has reduced the reliability of whole system.
Therefore, there is defect in prior art, needs to improve.
