Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In general, the phase comparison direction detecting antenna uses a dipole antenna having an omnidirectional radiation pattern. The length of the dipole is determined by the desired frequency range and should not be longer than the wavelength of the highest frequency. The dipole antennas are arranged in order to detect the direction of propagation. The arrangement method can be divided into linear array and circular array. The linear array antenna has a simple geometric structure and has the advantage of applying an algorithm that can obtain the propagation angle with a small amount of computation, but has a disadvantage that only one-dimensional angle of arrival can be estimated because it is arranged in one-dimensional space. . In contrast, the circular array antenna has an advantage in that the azimuth and elevation angles of the incident signal can be simultaneously estimated because the elements are arranged in a two-dimensional plane. In order to have a constant resolution irrespective of the direction of signal arrival, the size of the effective aperture of the array antenna should not change in accordance with the direction of signal arrival. To this end, the antenna elements should be uniformly arranged in a circular shape.
In the system using the array antenna, the direction detection system using the UHF band (100-500 MHz) may be implemented by circularly arranging five dipoles with a radius of 0.5 m. Such an antenna is called a circular array antenna.
1 is an exemplary view showing a general circular array antenna.
As shown, a typical circular array antenna has a
For example, when the array radius, ie, R = 0.5m, the length of D 1 is about 0.951m. In this circular arrangement, the phase difference applied to the direction detection uses a pair difference represented by a solid line.
Table 1 below shows phase difference pairs used in a circular array antenna composed of five dipoles.
As shown in Table 1, a phase difference pair between each dipole is paired with the
The actual measured pattern when calculating the phase difference with the above antenna pair is described below.
2 is an exemplary diagram comparing a phase difference pattern and actual measured patterns between dipoles of a general circular array antenna.
As shown, FIG. 2A shows an ideal phase difference pattern between dipoles of a circular array antenna, and FIG. 2B shows an actual measured phase difference pattern between dipoles of a circular array antenna. As described above, it can be seen that the phase difference pattern between dipoles of the conventional circular array antenna is large due to distortion.
As described above, the circular array antenna shows a beam pattern which is not ideal in a specific frequency band and a specific orientation in a real environment because of the influence of the center pole. This characteristic also affects the phase difference pattern, which increases the direction detection error. As the array radius of the circular array antenna increases, the influence of interference between elements and the center pole is also reduced.Because the array radius determines the direction detectable frequency range, increasing the random radius causes ambiguity in the
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for expanding an array radius using a phase difference pair change to extend a radius of a phased array antenna of a propagation direction detection system.
As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, the first embodiment of the present invention, in the propagation direction detection device, a circular array antenna consisting of a plurality of dipoles that can extend the array radius with the center pole, the circular A frequency converter for converting a radio frequency signal received from an array antenna into an intermediate frequency signal, and when the converted intermediate frequency signal is distorted, an array radius between the center pole and each dipole is extended, and the dipoles are adjacent to each other. It includes a direction detecting processor for detecting the propagation direction through the phase difference with the dipole.
In addition, as a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, the second embodiment of the present invention, in the propagation direction detection method, received from a circular array antenna consisting of a plurality of dipoles that can extend the array radius with the center pole Converting the converted radio frequency signal into an intermediate frequency signal, checking whether the converted intermediate frequency signal is distorted, and if the converted intermediate frequency signal is a distorted signal, an array radius between the center pole and each dipole And dividing the propagation direction by detecting the propagation direction through the phase difference between the dipoles and the adjacent dipoles.
According to the above-described problem solving means of the present invention to solve the problem of increasing the direction detection error by extending the array radius using a phase difference pair change to extend the radius of the phased array antenna of the propagation direction detection system, The effect is also reduced.
In addition, according to the problem solving means of the present invention described above there is an effect that the distortion of the amplitude and phase caused by the interference between the antenna elements in the conventional array antenna is significantly improved.

The phase difference between the furthest dipoles may be replaced by the phase difference between adjacent dipoles through
First, the distance D 1 between the furthest dipoles is calculated by
[Equation 1]
D 1 = 2R? Sinθ 1
In
The distance D 2 between adjacent dipoles is calculated through

D 2 = 2R? Sin (θ 1/2)
K L, which is a ratio of D 1 and D 2 through Equations 1 and 2 , is calculated through
&Quot; (3) "
&Quot; (4) "
As shown in
Accordingly, it is, can be set by using the phase difference D 2 with a neighboring element more than the radius of the array used for a conventional D 1 of Figure 1, if greatly so as to satisfy the ratio K L of D 1 and D 2.

As shown, the phase difference pattern when R = 0.5m and using D 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be represented by D 2 = 2Rcos (54 °) and when R = 0.5 in relation to D 1 You can reset the array radius R at that time by setting D 2 equal to D 1 (0.951m).
R = sin (72 °) / 2cos (54 °) = can be obtained to about 0.8m, a phase difference pattern at this time can be obtained the same pattern as with D 1 when R = 0.5 days.
As described above, each dipole forms a phase difference pair with adjacent dipoles, and Table 2 below is an exemplary diagram showing a phase difference pair between adjacent dipoles.
As shown in Table 2, the phase difference pattern measured by redefining the phase difference pair and extending the array radius is shown in FIG. 7.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a phase difference pattern actually measured after extending an array radius of a phased array antenna according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, not only can the phase distortion be significantly reduced compared to the case where the array radius R is 0.5m. Also, by using the phase difference between adjacent elements, the same pattern as that of the existing phase difference pattern may be achieved even if the array radius is larger. Can be obtained. Thus, by extending the array radius R to 0.8m and separation of the band into two in the lower frequency range of the two using the D 1 and the high frequency range by using the D 2, it may extend the radius of the array ambiguity occurs in accuracy bangtam I never do that. In addition, it can be seen that as the array radius increases, interference between antenna dipoles also decreases, thereby reducing phase difference distortion, thereby improving detection accuracy.
