Background
Indexes such as side lobe level, gain, beam width and the like are important performance indexes of the phased array antenna, and the indexes are obtained through a directional diagram test of the phased array antenna. Therefore, the accurate, efficient and low-cost phased array antenna test method is an important link in the phased array antenna development and production process. In the process of developing the traditional phased array antenna, an antenna pattern test needs to be carried out in a microwave darkroom to judge whether an antenna pattern index is within a specified allowable range.
With the development of phased array antenna technology, a multichannel phased array antenna with a frequency conversion function gradually becomes a development trend, i.e., a radio frequency/intermediate frequency converter is integrated in the antenna, and the number of channels of the antenna is developed into independent multiple channels from analog and differential channels. After the antenna receives a spatial radio frequency electromagnetic wave signal, the antenna converts the radio frequency signal into an intermediate frequency signal and outputs the intermediate frequency signal, so that during antenna testing, radio frequency/radio frequency testing cannot be performed at a double port by directly utilizing a vector network like a traditional phased array antenna, but only intermediate frequency/radio frequency hybrid testing can be performed, which causes the test system to become complicated, requires a test instrument and meter to have an additional frequency mixing function, and increases the test cost of the phased array antenna.
