Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high frequency surfacewave radar (HFSWR) installation.
  • HFSWR high frequency surfacewave radar
  • Conventional HFSWR transmits an RF signal at a single frequency and detects energy which is returned from objects in the path of the transmitted RF signal.
  • the range of HFSWR is significantly enhanced over standard ground - based radar in that the range to a surface target that might be detected is in the order of hundreds of kilometres.
  • the frequency range associated with high frequency radar is approximately 3-30 MHz and the corresponding wavelength of the transmitted signal is measured in tens of meters, say 10m to 100m.
  • the wavelength of the signal to be transmitted directly governs the size of an associated transmitting antenna element. The magnitude of a HFSWR installation comprising a number of such antenna elements in an array can therefore be significant.
  • log-periodic antennae In order to achieve reasonable coverage across the HF frequency range, it is known to provide a transmit array comprising one or more log-periodic antennae.
  • log-periodic antennae whilst log-periodic antennae are naturally able to operate over a particularly wide band, they are not regarded as being physically stable and correspondingly robust and can, therefore, be disadvantageous.
  • HFSWR single frequency HFSWR are limited in their performance due to external influences such as man made interference, for example radio transmissions. Consequently, such HFSWR are considered to be “external noise” limited as these external signals dominate any internal noise levels of the internal mechanism such as receive electronics of the radar installation.
  • Alternative radar, such as those operating at microwave frequencies, are typically “internal noise” limited as the noise generated by the internal mechanism of the radar dominate any external noise signals at microwave frequencies. It is an aim of the present invention to address the aforementioned disadvantages associated with High Frequency Surfacewave Radar and alleviate some of the problems coupled therewith.
  • the present invention provides a high frequency surfacewave radar installation comprising an array of antenna elements, the array comprising: a first antenna element configured to exhibit a first characteristic; and a second antenna element configured to exhibit a second characteristic, related to the first characteristic but different therefrom.
  • the first antenna element may be a doublet capable of directional transmission and/or reception and the second antenna element may be a single monopole or dipole capable of omnidirectional transmission and/or reception.
  • the doublet may comprise monopole or dipole elements.
  • the first antenna element may be configured to transmit a signal having a frequency in the range of a first octave and the second antenna element may be configured to transmit a signal having a frequency in the range of a second octave.
  • the first and second antenna elements may be doublets capable of directional transmission and/or reception and the array may comprise a third antenna element, wherein the third element may be a single monopole or dipole capable of omnidirectional transmission and/or reception.
  • the present invention provides a high frequency surfacewave radar installation comprising an array of antenna elements, the array comprising: a first antenna element configured to transmit a signal having a frequency in the range of a first octave; and a second antenna element configured to transmit a signal having a frequency in the range of a second octave.
  • first and second antenna elements each having capability for transmitting in different octaves of frequency
  • a compact antenna installation having an extended bandwidth can be achieved.
  • the second antenna element may be smaller than the first antenna element.
  • the first octave may represent a range of up to 8 MHz and the second octave may represent a range from 8 to 16 MHz.
  • the array may comprise a third antenna element configured to transmit a signal having a frequency in the range of a third octave.
  • the third antenna element may be smaller than the second antenna element and the third octave may represent a range above 16 MHz.
  • the antenna elements may be configured to receive a signal on any frequency covered by the transmission from the radar installation.
  • radar installation we mean an installation capable of transmitting and/or receiving radar signals from one or more antennae together with the corresponding electronics for operating the, or each, antenna.
  • antenna we mean apparatus comprising an array of antenna elements.
  • an “array” of antenna elements we mean a number of, potentially different, antenna elements, regularly or irregularly spaced the output of which are combined in some manner.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an antenna
  • Figure 2 illustrates a schematic representation of an architecture of the antenna of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 illustrates a schematic representation of an alternative antenna
  • FIG 4 illustrates a schematic representation of another alternative antenna.
  • the antenna 10 illustrated in Figure 1 comprises an array of antenna elements 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e, 15f.
  • each element is represented by a doublet.
  • Each doublet comprises a pair of tetrahedral dipoles in a conventional manner.
  • the phase relationship between the two dipoles reinforces forward transmission of a signal whilst reducing backward transmission of the signal hence providing directionality of the antenna element.
  • the extent of this reinforcement is denoted by the 'front to back ratio' of a particular doublet configuration and the configuration is chosen to achieve a particular result. In this embodiment, the front to back ratio is approximately 15 dB.
  • the antenna 20 comprises an array of sixteen elements, up to six of which, hereinafter referred to as transmitting elements 25a-25f, may be used when the antenna 20 is transmitting as illustrated in Figure 2a and all of which may be used when the antenna 20 is receiving as illustrated in Figure 2b.
  • the six transmit elements 25a-25f are each capable of transmission and reception using duplexer units which comprise both a transmission port and a receive port.
  • the transmit elements each comprise a doublet and has associated therewith a digital waveform generator 30 and an amplifier 35.
  • the amplifier is a 1 kW solid state power amplifier.
  • a controller 40 is provided to supply instructions to the waveform generator 30, the amplifier 35 and the antenna 20.
  • transmit elements 25a-25f may all be used in combination to transmit an outgoing signal or, alternatively a reduced number, even a single element, may be used to transmit the outgoing signal.
  • the number and configuration of elements used to transmit affects the form of signal generated thereby.
  • a focused beam having high gain is output in a plane normal to the plane of the array.
  • a wider beam, of lower gain can be achieved by using a single element to output the transmission signal.
  • Phase ramps or weighting can be implemented across the array in order to achieve an electronic beam steering capability.
  • a single frequency can be transmitted by any particular element.
  • multiple carrier frequencies can be generated within the waveform to enable more than one frequency to be transmitted by the, or each, element at any one time.
  • Transmit signals are generated by the digital waveform generator 30 associated with each element.
  • the waveform generators are fully controlled by software.
  • the software replicates analogue production of one or more signals and generates parallel streams of data having multiple frequency content. Such a signal represents a number of independent signals, each having a different transmission frequency.
  • the waveform characteristics for each element are independent, fully programmable and arbitrary. In other words, the generation of simultaneous, multiple frequency and beam combinations is enabled on transmission from the antenna 20.
  • Figure 2b illustrates operation of antenna 20 in a receive mode.
  • the antenna 20 comprises a plurality of elements 42a-42j in addition to the aforementioned transmit elements 25a-25f. Each element 25a-25f, 42a-42j is capable of receiving incoming signals.
  • each element 25a-25f, 42a-42j is provided with its own dedicated receiver 45, capable of simultaneous receipt and detection of signals having up to four frequencies.
  • the receiver is configured to receive the incoming signal which, as described above, may have multiple frequency content. This incoming signal is then digitised and discretised into the separate detected independent signals and passed to controller 40 for signal processing.
  • simultaneous receive beam forming is preferably used across the entire array so that electronic beam steering may be used to detect targets in particular directions.
  • One element, say doublet 42a, is configured with reverse phasing to act as a Rear Lobe Blanking (RLB) antenna.
  • Another of the elements 42j serves as an environmental monitoring antenna in addition to being part of the antenna array 20.
  • each antenna element is provided by a doublet, i.e. a pair of cooperating dipoles.
  • doublets In using doublets exclusively the size and cost of the antenna array 20 may become significant. It is desirable to reduce the complexity and magnitude of the array.
  • those antenna elements used solely for receiving signals, elements 42b-42j may comprise single dipoles 42' rather than doublets 42 as exemplified in the antenna array
  • each antenna element may comprise one or more monopole antenna elements, preferably comprising a tetrahedral element.
  • Use of a monopole antenna element requires appropriate ground conditions or use of an antenna mat, but if such conditions are available, the reduced magnitude associated with the monopole leads to advantageously reduced material and installation costs.
  • the functionality of the antenna 10 is further expanded.
  • Conventional radar operate in a relatively narrow frequency band.
  • the apparatus described in the aforementioned embodiment is substantially independent of the operating frequency except in terms of the geometry presented by each antenna element. In particular, it is the height of the dipole that determines the frequency that can be transmitted therefrom.
  • Each tetrahedral dipole forming the antenna array 20 for the first embodiment stands approximately 8m high.
  • the distance, d, between each tetrahedral dipole of a doublet is approximately 6m [ ⁇ /4].
  • the distance, D, between adjacent doublets is approximately ⁇ /2 [10-12m] thus the antenna array 20 is approximately 200 m long. This magnitude of array is required in order to achieve a spacing through which signals can be received and processed to yield quantifiable data.
  • the tetrahedral dipole configuration exhibits a greater frequency range than say a conventional monopole or dipole, the range is still limited to a single octave, for example 8-16 MHz.
  • the duplexer unit associated with each doublet leads to some inherent restrictions in the device, however the primary restriction of the device is in the physical dimensions, particularly the height, of the dipole itself.
  • dipoles having a different physical magnitude may be introduced into the antenna array. To achieve a higher frequency, a smaller sized dipole may be provided.
  • Figure 3 illustrates how dipoles (or other antenna elements) of two different sizes can be interlaced with one another in order to achieve two octaves of coverage.
  • Eight elements 50 to 56 and 60 to 66 are used for transmission and reception whilst the remainder of the elements 70 are used only to receive signals. As illustrated, each element is provided by a doublet.
  • the larger elements 50, 52, 54, 56 transmit on lower frequencies F1 , F2, F3, F4, say in the range from 4-8 MHz. Meanwhile, the smaller elements 60, 62, 64, 66 transmit at frequencies F5, F6, F7, F8 in a higher frequency range, say in the range 8-16 MHz.
  • Antenna elements having an active tuning capability can be used in place of elements having a different physical magnitude. Such elements are particularly effective on receive where efficiency is less critical.
  • three sizes of dipole could be interspersed with one another in order to achieve an installation covering three octaves.
  • the larger elements 80, 82, 84, 86 transmit on lower frequencies F1 , F2,
  • F3, F4 say in the range from 4-8 MHz.
  • the medium sized elements 90, 92, 94, 96 transmit at frequencies F5, F6, F7, F8 in a higher frequency range, say 8-16MHz.
  • the smallest elements 100, 102, 104, 106 transmit at the highest end of the "high frequency" band, say in the range 16-30MHz.
  • aircraft targets could be located anywhere and so the directionality afforded by the doublet arrangement is required.
  • higher frequencies are required and so the physical magnitude of each dipole is reduced.
  • the antennae discussed above each represent a monostatic architecture, whereby the transmit antenna and the receive antenna are collocated.
  • the aforementioned principals can readily be applied to a bistatic architecture, whereby the transmit antenna is located remotely from the receive antenna, or in a multistatic architecture where one or more remotely located additional antennae are provided.
