Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antenna beam control of satellite communication systems, and relates to a multi-subarray antenna beam switching method based on time delay quantization error minimization.
Background
With the progress of times and the development of science and technology, the satellite communication technology is widely applied to the military and civil fields, the satellite communication technology in motion becomes an effective means for realizing broadband mobile communication, and plays an important role in the fields of emergent public event processing, emergency command, information real-time transmission and the like.
The multi-subarray technology can effectively reduce the height of the antenna and the cost of the system, and simultaneously gives consideration to the performance of the antenna, so that the method is the most common method for the low-profile antenna at present. In the feed network of a phased array antenna, the most important phase shifting devices are mainly phase shifters and delay lines, where the phase shift value of the phase shifter is independent of the signal frequency. The change of signal frequency can cause the antenna beam pointing direction to be deviated, and further cause the signal receiving power to be reduced. The delay line is also called delay device, it has the same group delay time, when it adopts real-time delay device to compensate space wave path difference, it can effectively raise antenna bandwidth, but its price is very expensive. The phase shift amount of the digital phase shifter is changed in a binary mode, and when the number of the phase shift bits of the digital phase shifter is b bits, the minimum phase shift value delta of the phase shifter is 2 pi/2bThe phase shift value that can be realized has 2bAnd (4) respectively. When the phase shift is performed by adopting the rounding method, the maximum phase shift deviation of the phase shifter is half of the minimum phase shift value, namely 2 pi/2b+1The maximum phase shift deviation of the phase shifter may also be referred to as the phase quantization error of the phase shifter.
As with the phase quantization error of the phase shifter, the delay quantization error of the delay device may be defined as the maximum delay variation of the delay device over the scan range. However, unlike the phase shift value of the phase shifter, the delay length of the delay device is not periodic, and for a large-aperture antenna, to improve the delay quantization accuracy of the delay device, a large number of complicated designs are required, which is one of the reasons that the real-time delay device is expensive.
In the currently common switched beam technology, a delay compensation method based on multiple sets of delay lines is usually adopted, which essentially means that a special delay device is added behind each subarray, and the delay precision of the delay device is related to the number of sets of delay lines and the position of the subarray. It is clear that the switched beam technique has a premise that the number of delay lines required for each sub-array is the same. In order to further improve the performance of the multi-subarray antenna, it is necessary to break the premise and research a feed network design method based on the minimization of the delay quantization error.
