Description

Method for generating phase-controllable OAM electromagnetic wave under random initial phase condition of phase-locked source
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of OAM electromagnetic waves, in particular to a method for generating phase-controllable OAM electromagnetic waves under the condition of phase-locked source random initial phase.
Background
Research shows that the electromagnetic wave not only has spin angular momentum, but also has orbital angular momentum. Some studies later made it clear that electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum, called OAM electromagnetic waves, have a helical phase structure, the wave front of which rotates in space along the beam axis. The OAM electromagnetic waves in different OAM modes have different phase structures, and the integer modes are orthogonal to each other, which means that orbital angular momentum can provide rotational freedom for an electromagnetic field, and the novel multiplexing application is facilitated. Orbital angular momentum has been found in optical research, and OAM electromagnetic waves have been used in the fields of radar imaging, quantum state manipulation, and the like. Compared to the tremendous role that OAM electromagnetic waves play in the optical field, their research in the wireless communication field is still continuing.
The most advanced OAM generation architecture can be mainly divided into four types, namely a transmission spiral structure, a transmission grating structure, a spiral reflector structure, and an array antenna. As early as OAM electromagnetic waves were proposed, supporters described how to feed a uniform circular array to generate orbital angular momentum in the radio band. The uniform circular phased array has the advantages of simple processing, convenient operation and the like, and is a good OAM electromagnetic wave generator.
A system for generating OAM electromagnetic waves based on a uniform circular array antenna usually needs to be matched with a phase shifter with high precision and a phase shift range of 0-360 degrees. Since phase shifters are expensive, a modification is proposed to change the system architecture to save costs. In some aspects, a delay line is used instead of a phase shifter to generate an OAM electromagnetic wave having a different topological charge, thereby simplifying the system. However, if the beam pointing control of OAM is to be further implemented without changing the length of the delay line, a phase shifter is still required to complete the structure of the phased array.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for generating a phase-controllable OAM electromagnetic wave under a phase-locked source random initial phase condition, including the following steps S1 to S3:
s1, constructing an OAM electromagnetic wave frequency mixing feed network comprising one path of intermediate frequency signal source, one path of local oscillator signal source and multiple paths of weighted signal sources;
the feed network comprises a local oscillator signal source, an M local oscillator signal shunts, an intermediate frequency signal source, an M intermediate frequency signal shunts, an M weighting signal source, M two weighted signal shunts, M local oscillator signal heterodyne mixers, M local oscillator signal filters, M intermediate frequency signal heterodyne mixers, M intermediate frequency signal filters, M delay lines, M radio frequency signal heterodyne mixers and M radio frequency signal filters;
one of the paths of intermediate frequency signal sources sends M paths of intermediate frequency signals through M paths of intermediate frequency signal splitters, the M paths of intermediate frequency signals are respectively mixed with one of the paths of weighted signals, which are split by the corresponding weighted signal sources through the two paths of weighted signal splitters, of the M paths of weighted signal sources through corresponding intermediate frequency signal heterodyne mixers, and the mixed intermediate frequency signals are filtered through corresponding intermediate frequency signal filters;
one local oscillator signal source sends M local oscillator signals through M local oscillator signal shunts, the M local oscillator signals and the other weighted signal which is shunted by the corresponding weighted signal source in the weighted signal source through the two weighted signal shunts are mixed through a corresponding local oscillator signal heterodyne mixer, the local oscillator signals after mixing are filtered through a corresponding local oscillator signal filter, and phase regulation and control are carried out through a delay line with fixed length;
each path of filtered intermediate frequency signal and each path of local oscillation signal after phase regulation are subjected to frequency mixing through a corresponding radio frequency signal heterodyne mixer, and the radio frequency signals after frequency mixing are respectively filtered through corresponding radio frequency signal filters and then are sent to each antenna unit in the uniform circular antenna array;
s2, calculating output angular frequencies of the intermediate frequency signal source and the local oscillator signal source according to the target OAM topological load number and the beam pointing angle; calculating the output angular frequency of the weighted signal source according to the target transmitting frequency;
and S3, accessing the OAM electromagnetic wave mixing feed network into the uniform circular antenna array, and adjusting the output frequencies of each local oscillator signal source, the intermediate frequency signal source and the weighted signal source according to the calculated output angular frequency to generate the OAM electromagnetic wave with the target transmitting frequency, the topological charge number and the beam direction.
The invention adopts a delay line as a phase shift element to realize an OAM electromagnetic wave generation system with beam control. The system is based on uniform circular array and phased array techniques, producing an input frequency matrix corresponding to each target case.
According to the phased array principle of generating the OAM electromagnetic wave, if a plurality of different signal sources exist in the channel of each antenna unit, the system can successfully achieve the expected effect on the premise that the initial phases of the signal sources are kept consistent, and if the initial phase difference exists in each path of signal source, the difference is kept until each path of signal is finally input into the antenna array, and finally the phased structure of the OAM electromagnetic wave generating system is damaged. However, the system of the constant temperature crystal oscillator and the M-path phase-locked loop cannot ensure that the initial phases are consistent after decimal frequency modulation, and is different from the instantaneous phase, and the initial phases have no practical significance and accurate and effective measurement method, and are difficult to realize in reality. Therefore, the invention considers the problem of random initial phase of the actual phase-locked source, further improves the scheme, cancels the interference of initial phase by skillfully setting the circuit structure and adopting a mode of continuous frequency mixing and filtering, and filters the influence of initial phase inconsistency on a phase control system. The scheme provided by the invention can completely get rid of the phase shifter and realize the free adjustment of the emission frequency/topological charge number/beam steering angle. The adjustment accuracy depends on the tuning accuracy of the phase locked source, which is much higher than the phase shifter.
In an optional embodiment of the invention, the output angular frequency of an intermediate frequency signal source and a local oscillator signal source in a feed network is calculated according to the target OAM topological load number and the beam pointing angle; then, according to the target transmitting frequency, calculating the output angular frequency of the weighted signal source specifically includes:
determining phase excitation vectors required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular antenna array according to the target OAM topological load number and the beam pointing angle;
determining the phase deviation required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular antenna array according to the phase excitation vector required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular antenna array;
according to the phase shift generated by the delay line with fixed length and the phase shift required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular antenna array, determining the output angular frequency of the intermediate frequency signal source and the local oscillator signal source, and filtering after mixing the output angular frequency of the intermediate frequency signal source and the local oscillator signal source to obtain the input signal angular frequency applied to the delay line corresponding to each antenna unit of the uniform circular antenna array;
and determining the output angular frequency of the intermediate frequency source according to the target transmitting frequency.
Specifically, when constructing a system for generating a phased OAM electromagnetic wave without a phase shifter according to the present invention to generate an OAM electromagnetic wave with a topology genus of l and a beam pointing angle of (θ, γ), determining a phase excitation vector required by each antenna element of a uniform circular array is specifically:

Therefore, the phase offset required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular array can be determined according to the phase excitation vector required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular array, specifically:

and l is the OAM topological charge number, M is the number of the antenna units of the uniform circular array, k is the wave number of the radio-frequency signal, a is the array radius of the uniform circular array, theta is the beam pitch angle, and gamma is the beam azimuth angle.
To determine the phase shift produced by a fixed length delay line, first, based on the phase shift constant of the delay line:

in order to obtain an OAM electromagnetic wave, the phase shift required for the mth antenna element is:
Figure BDA0003730548840000096
and then, the length of the delay line corresponding to the mth antenna unit is:
Figure BDA0003730548840000097
wherein ω is m The m-th antenna unit corresponds to the angular frequency of the input signal of the delay line, that is, the angular frequency of the output signal of the local oscillator signal and the weighted signal after heterodyne mixing and filtering.
Let l equal to 1, Ω M =(ω 12 ,...,ω M ) T =(ω′,ω′,...,ω′) T By substituting the above formula, can obtain

And omega' is a signal angular frequency which is regulated and controlled by the M phase-locked loops when the topological duties are 1 and the beam pointing regulation and control are not added.
Therefore, the length of the delay line corresponding to each antenna unit can be determined according to the relationship between the phase shift generated by the delay line with the fixed length and the phase shift required by each antenna unit of the uniform circular array.
Further, according to the length of the delay line corresponding to each antenna unit, the angular frequency of the input signal of the delay line corresponding to the mth antenna unit is determined as follows:
