Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and particularly relates to a low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar antenna system.
Background
Ionospheric inhomogeneities are plasmoids present in the ionosphere at a density significantly different from the background density. The time and space variation of the ionosphere inhomogeneity is a direct cause of the radio signal flickering after the radio signal is transmitted through the ionosphere, and the ionosphere inhomogeneity can cause the rapid random fluctuation of the amplitude, the phase and the polarization direction of the radio signal passing through the ionosphere, thereby causing the serious consequences of satellite signal fading, unlocking and the like. Therefore, the observation and research on the space-time evolution and the motion characteristics of the ionospheric inhomogeneity have very important significance for understanding the ionospheric electrodynamics process and the ionospheric scintillation phenomenon, and also have important practical application prospects.
High frequency coherent scatter radar is an important device for remote detection of ionospheric inhomogeneities. According to the Bragg scattering principle, ionospheric inhomogeneities are strongest for radio wave scattering signals in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. The high-frequency coherent scattering radar transmits radio waves perpendicular to the direction of magnetic force lines, and effective detection on the inhomogeneous body of the ionized layer can be realized.
In the polar region and the high latitude region of the earth, magnetic lines of force are close to the surface of the earth, the wave beam of the high-frequency coherent scattering radar faces the polar region of the earth (the northern hemisphere faces the north, the southern hemisphere faces the south), the narrow wave beam is used for wave beam scanning, and the ionosphere inhomogeneity in the distance range of 3000km can be detected in the azimuth sector exceeding 50 degrees. Dozens of high-frequency coherent scattering radars are built in polar regions and high latitude regions in countries around the world, and an international SuperDARN radar observation network is formed. In the low latitude and equator regions of the earth, magnetic lines of force are approximately horizontally distributed, and theoretically, radio waves are transmitted to the east or the west by using a high-frequency coherent scattering radar, so that the condition that the beam direction is vertical to the magnetic lines of force of the earth can be met, and the remote detection of the ionosphere inhomogeneity is realized. However, no low-latitude high-frequency coherent scatter radar system is built into operation in the world at present. In recent years, the construction of low latitude or equatorial high frequency coherent scatter radars has been proposed in developed western countries, usa, uk, and the like.
The low latitude area of China, particularly the south China sea and the surrounding area are important economic trade activity channels and key national defense guarantee areas of China, and the study on the ionospheric inhomogeneous body characteristics and the prediction on ionospheric scintillation in the area are very important. In order to meet the important requirements of research on low-latitude ionized layer inhomogeneities and ionosphere scintillation prediction, the high point of the international low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar technology is seized, and in the project of space environment foundation monitoring network of the national fifteen-piece scientific and technological infrastructure project, China proposes to build the first world low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar in Hainan island and carry out large-range and long-distance continuous detection on the ionosphere inhomogeneities in the east-west direction of the Hainan island.
At present, a low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar which is not built internationally can be used for reference, and the construction of the low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar in China has great challenges. If the technical framework of the high-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar which is the closest in technical principle is adopted, in order to meet the detection requirements of ionosphere inhomogeneities in the east and the west directions of the Hainan island, two high-frequency coherent scattering radars need to be arranged on the same station, wherein the main beam of one radar faces east, and the main beam of the other radar faces west. The whole radar system comprises an east main array, an east auxiliary array and an east host, and a west main array, a west auxiliary array and a west host. The low latitude high frequency coherent scatter radar system of this scheme has great limitation. Firstly, the observation site is in great demand, and it is very difficult to find a suitable observation site. Because the east antenna array and the west antenna array are respectively and independently arranged, the area of the whole antenna array is 2 times of that of a single high-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar antenna array, and a flat antenna field exceeding 50000 square meters is needed. Secondly, 2 radar main engines are needed, and 2 independent radar observation rooms are built for the radar main engines to arrange the main engines in the east direction and the west direction, so that the system composition is complex, and the construction cost and the later-stage operation management cost are high. Third, the ionospheric inhomogeneities in low latitude areas are usually drifting in the east-west direction, and the ionospheric inhomogeneities on the east side and the west side of the radar station can be detected by the forward beam and the tail lobe beam respectively, so that the signals are mixed up and cannot be distinguished. In order to suppress the radar tail lobe echo and avoid aliasing of the tail lobe echo on an inhomogeneous signal detected by a forward wave beam, a reflection net needs to be arranged behind each main array and each auxiliary array to improve the front-to-back ratio of a radar radiation directional diagram. This would greatly increase the complexity of the antenna system and the cost of building, operating and maintaining the antenna system. Namely, an antenna system with small occupied area, simple structure, high detection signal quality and low construction and operation cost is lacked in the construction of the current low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar system. Based on the low latitude high frequency coherent scattering radar antenna system, the invention provides a low latitude high frequency coherent scattering radar antenna system.

In order to more clearly explain the low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar antenna system of the present invention, the following describes each module in an embodiment of the method in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention provides a low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar antenna system which adopts a radar host and two radar antennas and can realize large-range remote detection on ionospheric inhomogeneities in low-latitude and equatorial regions. The requirements of huge low-latitude high-frequency radar antenna field requirements, high antenna array front-to-back ratio requirements and the like are met. The method comprises the following specific steps:
the low-latitude high-frequency coherent scattering radar antenna system comprises an east main array, an east auxiliary array, a west main array, a west auxiliary array and 1 radar host. As shown in fig. 1, the master in fig. 1 is a radar master.
The east main array, the east auxiliary array, the west main array and the west auxiliary array are all antenna arrays; the numbers of the antennas of the east main array and the west main array are the same; the numbers of antennas of the east auxiliary array and the west auxiliary array are the same; the number of antennas of the main array is more than that of the auxiliary array. In this embodiment, the main array is preferably composed of 16 antennas, and the longitudinal distance between the antennas of the same main array is 15m, that is, the longitudinal lengths of the east main array and the west main array are both 240 m. The auxiliary array is composed of 4 antennas, the longitudinal distance between the antennas is also 15m, the transverse distance between the east main array and the west main array is 15m, and the transverse distance between the east auxiliary array and the west auxiliary array is also 15 m. The transverse distance between the east auxiliary array and the west main array is 140 m.
The east-direction main array and the west-direction main array are arranged back to back (specifically arranged at intervals in a back-to-back parallel mode), the west-direction auxiliary array and the east-direction auxiliary array are arranged back to back (specifically arranged at intervals in a back-to-back parallel mode), and the east-direction main array and the west-direction auxiliary array are arranged oppositely (preferably, the auxiliary array corresponds to the middle of the main array, and can be vertically offset according to the antenna field condition in other embodiments). The area of the field can be greatly reduced, and only 33600 square meters is needed. Because the east-oriented antenna arrays and the west-oriented antenna arrays are adjacently arranged back to back, and the two sets of antenna systems share one radar host, only one radar observation room needs to be built, the equipment complexity is greatly reduced, and the construction and operation cost is reduced.
The east main array and the east auxiliary array are used in an east detection mode, and the west main array and the west auxiliary array are used in a west detection mode. The east antenna array and the west antenna array share one radar host, and detection modes for different directions are switched through an antenna selector switch.
The antenna channels of the east main array and the west main array are transmitting and receiving multiplexing antenna channels, each antenna channel comprises two antennas, namely a west transmitting and receiving antenna and an east transmitting and receiving antenna, and the antennas are switched by the antenna switch (namely the antenna switch in fig. 2) when the radar detects different directions. The antenna channels of the west auxiliary array and the east auxiliary array are receiving antenna channels, each antenna channel comprises two antennas, namely a west receiving antenna and an east receiving antenna, and the antennas are switched by the antenna selector switch when the radar detects different directions. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the antenna change-over switch is automatically and alternately controlled by a radar control and acquisition system, namely alternate detection of an east detection mode and a west detection mode is realized according to a time sequence, and as shown in fig. 7, large-range and long-distance continuous detection can be carried out on ionosphere inhomogeneities in east and west directions in a low latitude area.
As shown in fig. 2, the transmit-receive multiplexing antenna channel preferably includes channel 1-channel 16, and the receive antenna channel includes channel 17-channel 20, where channels 1-16 can be used for both transmission and reception, and the transmission and reception are controlled by a transmit-receive switch. Channels 17-20 are for receiving only.
In the western direction detection, as shown in fig. 3, the specific process is as follows:
in the west detection mode, the antenna switch 1-16 turns on the west transmitting and receiving antenna 1-16 (meanwhile, the east transmitting and receiving antenna 1-16 is turned off), 16 west transmitting and receiving antennas form a west transmitting and receiving array, the antenna switch 17-20 turns on the west receiving antenna 17-20 (simultaneously, the east receiving antenna 17-20 is turned off), and 4 receiving antennas form a west receiving array. Because the antenna is made of metal materials, such as an aluminum alloy pipe or a stainless steel pipe, the broken east transmitting and receiving antenna is equivalent to a reflecting net arranged behind the west transmitting and receiving array, and the effect is that when the west is detected, the tail lobe of radio waves, namely tail lobe beams of the radio waves synthesized by the west antenna array, can be greatly inhibited.
The simulation verification effect is shown in fig. 5 and 6. The front-to-back ratio of the east single transmitting and receiving antenna is 14.9dB, if a west antenna is arranged behind the east transmitting and receiving antenna in a mirror image mode, the front-to-back ratio of the east single transmitting and receiving antenna can reach 31dB, echoes detected by tail lobe radio wave signals can be greatly restrained during east detection, and echo confusion is avoided. Therefore, the front-to-back ratio of the radiation directional diagram of the unidirectional antenna can be greatly improved, the interference of tail lobe echo on the forward echo is inhibited, and the data quality is improved.
The 16 transmitting and receiving antennas form a beam with a narrower azimuth direction, so that higher gain is obtained, and long-distance detection can be realized. However, the antenna array has wider pitching wave beams, and a west receiving array and a west transmitting and receiving array form a short base line in the east-west direction, so that the pitching angle of ionosphere radio echo can be solved by an interferometry. Meanwhile, due to the adoption of a digital phase shifting technology during the transmission and the reception of signals, the wide-range beam scanning in the azimuth direction can be realized, and the wide-range and long-distance ionospheric inhomogeneity detection can be realized.
In the east direction detection, as shown in fig. 4, the specific process is as follows:
in the east detection mode, the antenna switch 1-16 turns on the east transmitting and receiving antenna 1-16 (meanwhile, the west transmitting and receiving antenna 1-16 is turned off), 16 transmitting and receiving antennas form an east transmitting and receiving array, the antenna switch 17-20 turns on the east receiving antenna 17-20 (simultaneously, the west receiving antenna 17-20 is turned off), and 4 receiving antennas form an east receiving array. The split west transmitting and receiving antenna is equivalent to a reflecting net arranged behind an east transmitting and receiving array, and the effect is that during east detection, the tail lobe of radio waves, namely tail lobe beams of the radio waves synthesized by the east antenna array, can be greatly inhibited. Because the antenna array has wider pitching wave beams, an east-west short base line is formed by an east-direction receiving array and an east-direction transmitting and receiving array, and the pitching angle of ionosphere radio echo can be solved by an interference method. Different from the west detection mode, in the east detection mode, the east receiving array is in front of the east transmitting and receiving array, and the relative coordinates in the process of resolving the pitching angle of the ionospheric radio echo by the interferometry are different from the west detection mode.
