Description

Method for improving radio frequency semi-physical simulation broadband signal angle simulation precision
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of simulation systems, in particular to a method for improving simulation precision of a radio frequency semi-physical simulation broadband signal angle.
Background
In a radio frequency semi-physical simulation system, radar target simulation is mainly completed by a triple antenna array. The radio frequency semi-physical simulation system comprises: the simulation system is formed by connecting the mathematical model, the physical effect model and the actual system and is used for carrying out simulation tests or carrying out related research. Antenna array: the antenna mainly comprises a radio frequency feed channel, a control computer and a spherical antenna array, wherein when the antenna works, the radio frequency feed channel feeds radio frequency signals to each radiation unit of the antenna array according to certain amplitude and phase under the control of the control computer, and the continuous motion of targets such as radars and the like in azimuth angles and pitch angles is simulated. Triplet: the target signal simulated by the simulation system is represented by a composite signal of three adjacent units on the antenna array, wherein the three units are arranged according to an equilateral triangle to form a subarray, which is called a triad.
The radio frequency target simulation by utilizing the antenna array has the advantage of being convenient for simulating complex targets and environments, and is a simulation method generally adopted at home and abroad at present. The method utilizes the amplitude gravity center principle provided by Boeing company to realize the accurate simulation of the radar target position on the antenna array by controlling the amplitude and the phase of the triple group. During radio frequency semi-physical simulation, one path of radar signals generated by the signal simulator is divided into three paths by the power divider, an antenna array triple in which the radar signals are located is calculated according to the target position, the three paths of signals are switched to the radiation units corresponding to the top points of the triple through the radio frequency switch network, and the amplitude phase of each radiation unit of the triple is respectively controlled through attenuators and phase shifters on the three branches, so that the target can move at any position in the triple.
However, in the conventional method, single frequency point control words are used for realizing the amplitude-phase control of signals through narrow-band radio frequency devices such as an attenuator and a phase shifter, so that the angular analog precision of the narrow-band signals is still guaranteed, but the amplitude-phase modulation of the wide-band signals in the bandwidth is difficult to realize, and the requirement of the amplitude-gravity principle on the amplitude-phase control of the wide-band signals cannot be met.
At present, radio frequency semi-physical simulation generally controls the amplitude and phase of a signal through narrow-band radio frequency devices such as an attenuator, a phase shifter and the like, so that the angle simulation precision of a narrow-band signal can be ensured, and an effective method for realizing high-precision angle position simulation of a wide-band signal is not available.
The consistency of the amplitude-frequency characteristic and the phase-frequency characteristic of each feed channel radio frequency device is strictly controlled by customizing the devices such as an attenuator, a phase shifter and the like in an antenna array feed channel and debugging and screening in the production process, so that the angle simulation precision of broadband signals can be improved.
