For linear frequency modulation wide band net, when this Optical Controlled Phased Array Antenna transmits, radar radiofrequency signal is modulated at EOM (electrooptic modulator), the light signal of modulation enters the light delay network of wavelength-division multiplex, after time delay, decomposition and opto-electronic conversion process, obtain N road delayed modulation light signal, enter T/R array through uplink and launched by aerial array.
Suppose that RF linear FM signal (radar radiofrequency signal) expression formula is:
A ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 t + jπ B T t 2 - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, f 0for radiofrequency signal centre frequency, B is radar signal bandwidth, wide when T is radar signal.N road is loaded with the light signal of radar signal, obtains delay respectively, and after the demodulation of photoelectric commutator array, during transmitting, the signal that aerial array is launched is respectively:
A 0 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 t + jπ B T t 2 A 1 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 ( t + τ ) + jπ B T ( t + τ ) 2 . . . A N - 1 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 [ t + ( N - 1 ) τ ] + jπ B T [ t + ( N - 1 ) τ ] 2 - - - ( 2 )
Wherein, τ is the delay interval of the radiofrequency signal sent between each submatrix of aerial array.Now, due to each submatrix of aerial array array element between true time postpone the phase shift that causes, define the wave beam in θ direction.
When this Optical Controlled Phased Array Antenna receives echoed signal, suppose still for the wave beam in this direction is received.In order to form the wave beam in this direction, according to symmetry, now still need to carry out time delay according to formula (2).
Step 1: receive echoed signal.Wherein, transmit such as formula shown in (2), suppose to irradiate target, go through τ two-way time 0after, antenna array receiver to signal can be expressed as:
A 0 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 ( t + τ 0 ) + jπ B T ( t + τ 0 ) 2 A 1 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 ( t + τ + τ 0 ) + jπ B T ( t + τ + τ 0 ) 2 . . . A N - 1 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 [ t + ( N - 1 ) τ + τ 0 ] + jπ B T [ t + ( N - 1 ) τ + τ 0 ] 2 - - - ( 3 )
Step 2: Modulation signal, on light signal, through the compensation of delay identical with when launching, and obtains after being converted to electric signal:
A 0 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 ( t + τ 0 ) + jπ B T ( t + τ 0 ) 2 A 1 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 ( t + τ 0 ) + jπ B T ( t + τ 0 ) 2 . . . A N - 1 ( t ) = A 0 e j 2 π f 0 ( t + τ 0 ) + jπ B T ( t + τ 0 ) 2 - - - ( 4 )
