Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments,
example 1
With the wide application of the antenna, the traditional phased array antenna is too large in volume and weight, difficult to conform to a carrier, low in gain and difficult to meet practical requirements, on the basis, the opportunistic array antenna is produced, the opportunistic array antenna makes full use of the carrier platform, the antenna gain is improved, however, the conventional opportunistic array antenna is difficult to rapidly select an array antenna unit, the invention develops research on the problem, and provides a rapid unit selection method based on the opportunistic array antenna.
With the rapid development of antenna technology, the use of antennas is no longer limited to a single field, and the antennas are widely applied to the aspects of communication, radar, aerospace and the like, and the invention relates to a unit rapid selection method based on an opportunistic array antenna, which is shown in fig. 1 and comprises the following steps:
(1) and setting parameters: the opportunistic array antenna is provided with N antenna units, and the beam pointing direction of the opportunistic array antenna is
Figure BDA0001419329200000041
Selecting the distance R of the far field region of the antenna, and obtaining an antenna beam pointing vector S according to the beam pointing direction and the distance of the far field region, wherein: the coordinate position of the ith antenna unit is (x)i,yi,zi) Theta is a pitch angle and has a value range of 0-180 degrees,
Figure BDA0001419329200000042
is an azimuth angle with the value range of 0-360 degrees, and R is far greater than 2D2And/lambda and 10D, D is the maximum size of the physical aperture of the opportunistic array antenna.
Regardless of the antenna used, certain environmental conditions must be satisfied. The invention also satisfies certain conditions, such as requiring R to be much greater than 2D2And the/lambda and 10D, D are the maximum size of the physical aperture of the opportunistic array antenna, so that the proper distance of a far field region can be selected, meanwhile, the proper scanning angle can be obtained only by setting the antenna beam pointing vector, and the antenna unit meeting the requirement is selected according to the scanning angle.
(2) Determining the beam width: in free space, one element in an opportunistic array antenna is simulated and the half-power beamwidth BW of the element is determined. The beam width is an important index for measuring the performance of the antenna, and in consideration of the complexity of calculation, a computer is adopted to carry out simulation on the antenna unit. If the computer simulates all the antenna units, the computer takes a lot of time, which is contrary to the practical requirement.
(3) And initial value setting: the opportunistic array antenna comprises a computer, an opportunistic array antenna and a computer, wherein the opportunistic array antenna comprises a unit i, a unit i is randomly selected from the opportunistic array antenna, a unit i +1 and a unit i +2 which are adjacent to the unit i +1 and the unit i +2 are selected, initial value setting is carried out on the randomly selected antenna unit i, the initial value of i is set to be 1, the opportunistic array antenna is composed of a plurality of antenna units, each antenna unit is in different positions, therefore, the antenna unit needs to be selected, initial value setting is carried out on the antenna unit, and then the computer starts.
(4) Solving the normal vector outside the unit: in the opportunity array antenna, a plane formed by the selected ith, the subsequent adjacent (i + 1) th and (i + 2) th antenna units is approximately solved for the external normal vector n of the position of the ith antenna unitiAnd the radiation direction of each antenna unit cannot be simply and effectively represented because the radiation directions of the antenna units are different in the opportunistic array antenna, the invention can calculate the external normal vector of each antenna unit one by adopting an approximation method, and the external normal vector represents the radiation direction of each antenna unit.
(5) Calculating an included angle between the maximum radiation direction and the beam pointing direction: calculating the maximum radiation direction n of each antenna unitiAngle psi to beam pointing vector SiThe invention adopts the included angle between the maximum radiation direction and the beam direction as the selection basis, and the included angle psiiThe smaller the antenna directivity, the better the antenna performance, the longer the range. The invention is characterized in that the included angle psiiOnly the maximum radiation direction n of each antenna element is calculatediAngle psi to beam pointing vector SiBased on this, the correct unit can be selected.
(6) And whether the unit selects the comparison judgment: angle psi between maximum radiation direction using antenna elements and beam pointing directioniJudging whether the antenna unit is selected or not according to the relation with the half-power beam width BW of the antenna unit, wherein the radiation direction of the antenna is generally provided with two lobes or a plurality of lobes, the main lobe is called as the main lobe with the maximum radiation intensity, the other lobes are auxiliary lobes, and the main lobe is the largestThe angle between two points of which the radiation intensity is reduced by 3dB on two sides in the large radiation direction is called half-power beam width, half of the half-power beam width is used as a judgment standard of the invention, and the antenna unit meeting the requirement is quickly and accurately selected through comparison and judgment.
Whether the antenna unit is selected or not is judged whether the antenna unit exceeds the selection range or not.
(7) And whether the unit is searched and judged: whether the selected antenna unit i is smaller than the total number N of the antenna units, if i is smaller than N, operating the (i + 1) th antenna unit, giving i +1 to i, referring to the figure 1, and repeating the steps (4), (5) and (6); and if i is larger than or equal to N, ending the process to obtain the selection states of all N antenna units. This is a constraint control on the whole selection process of the antenna units, the selection of the antenna units can only be within this range, and all the antenna units are searched through comparison and judgment.
(8) And finishing selection: and quickly selecting the antenna units meeting the requirements to participate in the quick detection of the signals.
The invention solves the problem that the maximum radiation directions of all antenna units are inconsistent in the array antenna and the proper unit is difficult to accurately select.
Example 2

The method for quickly selecting the opportunistic array antenna unit only adopts the half-power beam width of one antenna unit, does not need to search out the half-power beam widths of all the antenna units one by one, and the time spent on acquiring the half-power beam width of one antenna unit on a computer is less than 0.02 second, so that the searching and selecting process of the antenna unit is effectively accelerated, a large amount of precious time is saved, the defects of insensitive response and slow signal capture of the conventional radar in the working process are overcome, and the radar is in a high-speed and high-efficiency working state on target detection.
