Background
The short wave direction finding is the process of determining the incoming wave direction by using a short wave antenna array and direction finding instrument equipment thereof according to the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves. The method of processing the electromagnetic signals received by the short wave antenna to determine the incoming wave direction is called direction finding algorithm. Direction finding algorithms can be divided into two broad categories: scalar and vector methods. The scalar method is an algorithm for carrying out direction finding by utilizing one item of amplitude or phase of a received signal, and the vector method can carry out direction finding by utilizing amplitude and phase information at the same time. The polarization correction short wave direction finding method in the application is based on a vector method to carry out direction finding.
In actual direction finding, real sky wave signals are generally elliptical polarized waves and comprise horizontal and vertical polarized components, most of common direction finding antennas are linear polarized antennas, the direction finding antennas are affected by the polarized components of incoming wave signals in the direction finding process, direction finding errors can be increased by the polarized components, direction finding results are seriously affected, even completely wrong direction finding results can be caused, and therefore the influence of the polarized components on the direction finding is eliminated in short wave direction finding.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The technical scheme of the invention is to provide a calculation method for actual polarized incoming wave direction finding, determine the direction with polarized incoming waves according to the calculation result of the method, set a signal source in a certain direction, and the transmitted incoming wave signals meet the following conditions:
(1) far field: supposing that the receiving antenna array is positioned in the far field of a signal source, the wave front of the signal can be approximate to plane wave when reaching the array, and the geometric aperture of the antenna array is far smaller than the distance between the signal source and the antenna array;
(2) narrow-band: assuming that the signal bandwidth is much smaller than the center frequency of the signal;
Figure BDA0003381894390000031
where B is the signal bandwidth, fcIs the center frequency of the signal;
(3) the incoming wave direction: the information source incident to the antenna array is assumed to be a point source, so that the radiation field angle of the information source is zero, namely the relative direction of the incoming wave is unique;
(4) noise: the noise of each antenna unit is mutually independent when receiving signals and mutually independent with the signals, and the mean value is 0 and the variance is sigma2White gaussian noise.
In example 1, in a short-wave large-scale direction-finding antenna array system, 36-element fishbone antennas are arranged according to a circular array, the antenna element interval θ is 10 °, and as shown in fig. 2, the fishbone antennas are horizontally-oriented antennas.
In a certain experiment, the actually measured response of the antenna array, which is actually acquired, of 2.4MHz and the actual incoming wave direction of 28.7 °, is shown in fig. 3, where the ordinate is the received signal amplitude in the figure, the abscissa is the azimuth angle corresponding to 16 pairs of antennas connected to a 16-channel receiver, and the curve in the figure is a 128-time continuous acquisition data curve.
Because the curve in fig. 3 is a curve for 128 times of continuously acquired data, it can be roughly seen from the graph that the amplitude value of the received signal of the 2 nd or 8 th pair of antennas of different curves is the largest, and counting the 128 times of sampled data, the antenna unit N corresponding to the maximum amplitude value can be obtained as 8, and the angle of the antenna unit facing the incoming wave direction is 60 °;
because the antenna array is a 36-element fish bone array, i is determined to be 2 according to the beam width of the fish bone antenna, and when N is 8, the receiving response of 5 pairs of antennas, 6 th, 7 th, 8 th, 9 th and 10 th, is selected to participate in direction finding calculation;
setting a scanning angle fai _ scan by taking the 8 th auxiliary antenna as a center, wherein the scanning range of the scanning angle is more than or equal to fai _ scan and less than or equal to 9 degrees, and the scanning precision delta theta is 0.1 degree;
through numerical calculation, when an incoming wave signal of 2.4MHz is incident to the antenna array, the horizontal polarization theory receiving response is shown in FIG. 4;
calculating by a polarization correction direction finding method to obtain a scanning angle-correlation coefficient curve, as shown in fig. 5, obtaining that the scanning angle corresponding to the maximum correlation coefficient point in the curve is 32.0 °, which means that the incoming wave direction obtained by the polarization correction method is 32.0 °; FIG. 6 is a plot of scan angle versus correlation coefficient without polarization correction;
calculating the directivity of the antenna array receiving data sampled 128 times continuously, as shown in fig. 7(b), the abscissa is the sampling frequency, the ordinate is the directivity, and the result of calculating the directivity is 30.9 ° which deviates from the true directivity by 2.2 °; compared with the traditional short-wave direction finding method, the direction finding is carried out on the same data, the direction-finding degree result of the figure 7(a) can be obtained, the statistical value is 56.8 degrees, and the deviation from the real direction is 28.1 degrees.
Through the comparison in the implementation process, the common short-wave direction finding method has a large and unstable error in actual direction finding, and the direction finding error exceeds 20 degrees when the direction finding error is maximum. The polarization correction direction-finding method also calculates a more accurate direction-finding result for the actual signal, and effectively eliminates the influence of the vertical polarization component on the direction finding.
