Detailed Description
As described in the background section, in the prior art, after the transceiver module of the phased array weather radar receives the radio frequency echo signal, the transceiver module needs to process the radio frequency echo signal by using the back-end signal processing unit, which results in a large volume of the back-end signal processing unit and high cost.
The inventor provides that a transceiver module of the S-band phased array weather radar has four design schemes shown in fig. 1 in theory based on a macroscopic principle, but a radar crystal oscillator (signal origin) under the technical bottleneck at present is an intermediate frequency signal, and a signal sampled by an ADC (Analog-to-digital converter) is also the intermediate frequency signal; and the signals transmitted and received by the antenna are radio frequency signals (the antenna is bidirectional, namely, the signals can be transmitted and received) RFin/out. The current state of the art is not capable of converting RF signals with frequencies above 2.7GHz directly into digital signals by ADCs with quantization capability above 16-bit!
In the prior art, the source of the transmitted signal is a digital signal, which is typically an intermediate frequency signal generated by direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) or digital-to-analog converter (DAC); in the receiving chain, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) samples and processes intermediate frequency signals. Therefore, if the signals in the intermediate frequency form are used for transmitting and receiving, the method is direct and convenient. Therefore, the transceiver module is most preferably an intermediate frequency input IFin and an intermediate frequency output IFout.
However, the transceiver module adopting the intermediate frequency input IFin is limited by technical reasons, and needs to be processed by intermediate frequency-to-radio frequency conversion, phase shifting, filtering and the like, and the quality of radio frequency signals transmitted to an antenna after processing is not good, for example, the phase noise is high, the frequency stray is large, and the like, and the requirement of a weather radar on high-index transmission signals cannot be met. Therefore, the transceiver module is usually provided with a radio frequency signal as an input RFin, which is then amplified and phase-shifted to an antenna, which radiates the signal to space.
And because the weather radar has high requirements on the quality of the transmitted radio frequency signals: the targets measured by the weather radar are cloud, rain, sky, wind, etc.; while others measure moving targets such as airborne aircraft. Therefore, the observation object measured by the weather radar is a target of other radars as the background, that is, the weather radar extracts useful signals in the background of other radars, and therefore, the weather radar has higher requirements on the quality of the transmitted signals. Therefore, the schemes two and four are not suitable for weather radars at present although the schemes may be suitable for other radars.
In the field of weather radars, after the second and fourth schemes are eliminated, in the prior art, the transceiving signals of the transceiving module of a general phased array radar are all radio Frequency signals, that is, a radio Frequency input signal rfin (radio Frequency input) is transmitted to an antenna, an echo radio Frequency signal received by the antenna is received and amplified and then output as an output signal rfout (radio Frequency output) for a rear end to perform mixing down conversion, amplification and ADC (analog-to-digital converter) conversion to a digital signal.
That is, in the prior art, a first scheme is generally adopted, and a specific implementation functional block diagram of the first scheme is shown in fig. 2, a radio frequency signal is used as an input of a transceiver module, the phase of the input signal is shifted through a phase shifter, the amplitude of the input signal is adjusted through an attenuator, the input signal is selected through a transceiver switch, an upper path in fig. 2 is selected to enter a power amplifier for amplification, and finally the input signal is output to an antenna through a circulator and radiated to a space through the antenna. During receiving, the antenna makes the echo signal enter the lower path in fig. 2 through the circulator, limits amplitude protection, then enters the low noise amplifier for amplification, then is selected by the receiving and transmitting switch, and finally obtains a signal to be processed through the attenuator and the phase shifter, so that receiving of the receiving and transmitting module is completed.
However, in the radar system, the reception output of the transceiver module is not an end point, and only a signal that can be processed by the ADC is received in a signal form expected by the reception path. Therefore, in the first scheme, the output received by the transceiver module also needs to be subjected to frequency mixing and filtering of analog signals, and is reduced to intermediate frequency signals, wherein the intermediate frequency signals are signals which can be directly sampled by an ADC.
Then, on the basis of the first scheme, the signal received by the transceiver module is processed to become an intermediate frequency signal that can be sampled by the ADC, that is, the third scheme. Therefore, the phased array weather radar with hundreds of transceiving channels does not need to adopt the first scheme, and analog signal mixing elements, filtering units and the like behind the transceiving module of the first scheme can be reduced, and the units are large in size and expensive in manufacturing cost.
Based on this, the utility model provides a phased array weather radar transceiver module, include:
a transmit channel and a receive channel, and a port connection element;
the port connection element comprises at least a first end, a second end and a third end;
wherein, according to signal transmission direction, the transmission channel includes consecutive: a plurality of isolation elements, a first single stage power amplifier, a phase shifter, a multi-stage power amplifier, and a first filter;
the receiving channel comprises the following components which are connected in sequence: the low-noise amplifier comprises a limiter, a low-noise amplifier, a second filter, a second single-stage power amplifier, a first mixing element, a low-pass filter and a third single-stage power amplifier;
the first filter is connected with the first end of the port connecting element; the limiter is connected with the second end of the port connecting element, and the third end of the port connecting element is used for being connected with an antenna.
Because the utility model provides a transceiver module, realized radio frequency input RFin and medium frequency output IFout; the radio frequency signal generated by the crystal oscillator and the analog means is used as an input signal, and has the characteristics of extremely low phase noise and less stray. And output intermediate frequency signal can directly be sampled by the ADC to need not to set up these units such as analog signal mixing component, filtering unit behind transceiver module bulky, the expensive unit of cost, also, the utility model provides a transceiver module has miniaturized characteristics, and the volume of the phased array weather radar that provides is less, the lower advantage of cost.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that, the single channel of the phased array transceiver module provided in the embodiment of the present invention is only dozens to one hundred watts, but the phased array has hundreds of transmitting channels and receiving channels, so that the total power of the phased array weather radar is dozens of kilowatts. The structure of a single phased array transceiver module is described below as an example.
Please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a phased array weather radar transceiver module according to the present invention. The transceiver module includes: a transmit channel T and a receive channel R, and a port connection element O; the port connection element O comprises at least a first end, a second end and a third end; wherein, according to signal transmission direction, transmission channel T includes consecutive: a plurality of isolation elements T1, a first single-stage power amplifier T2, a phase shifter T3, a multi-stage power amplifier T4, and a first filter T5; the receiving channel R comprises the following components which are connected in sequence: a limiter R1, a low noise amplifier R2, a second filter R3, a second single stage power amplifier R4, a first mixing element R5, a low pass filter R6, and a third single stage power amplifier R7; the first filter T5 is connected to a first end of the port connection element O; the limiter R1 is connected to a second terminal of the port connection element O, and a third terminal of the port connection element O is used for connecting to an antenna.
In this embodiment, the specific implementation manner of the isolation element is not limited, and optionally, the isolation element may be a single-pole single-throw switch or an isolator. It should be noted that, usually, the isolation of a single-pole single-throw switch is above 40dB, while the isolation of the isolator is less than 20dB, and the single-pole single-throw switch does not bring about any deterioration of other index parameters such as increase of insertion loss and increase of standing wave ratio with respect to the isolator. Therefore, in this embodiment, the isolation element is a single-pole single-throw switch. In this embodiment, the specific number of the single-pole single-throw switches is not limited, and may be set according to actual requirements, and optionally, in this embodiment, in order to make the isolation degree reach more than 100dB, the number of the single-pole single-throw switches may be 3.
After the single-pole single-throw switches in the transmitting channel are connected in series, the transmitting channel and the receiving channel of the transmitting and receiving module can be isolated, and the transmitting and receiving modules are integrated in a structural body, so that the isolation degree of at least 80dB and even more than 100dB is realized. The first single-stage power amplifier realizes single-stage amplification of a power signal; the multistage power amplifier amplifies power signals in multiple stages, and all the power signals have amplification effects; the phase shifter is used for carrying out phase shift on the radio frequency signal; the first filter is used for filtering out frequencies except the target frequency and reducing clutter.
The amplitude limiter of the receiving path is used for limiting the power of the echo signal, and when the power of the echo signal received by the transceiver module is larger, the amplitude limiter plays a role in protecting a post-stage circuit; because the echo signals received by the antenna are very weak, an amplifier with very low noise is needed to amplify and extract the echo signals; if a common amplifier is selected, noise and signals are amplified simultaneously, and weak echo signals cannot be extracted, and the noise coefficient of the low-noise amplifier in the embodiment is less than 0.6 dB. And the second filter and the third filter adopt band-pass filters to filter frequency signals except the useful signals. The second single-stage power amplifier and the third single-stage power amplifier and the fourth single-stage power amplifier are also used for amplifying the lower signal amplitude to a usable amplitude.
It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the receiving channel only includes a structure formed by a mixing element and a filter, and the first down-conversion is implemented, and in order to ensure that the finally obtained intermediate frequency signal can be sampled and processed by the ADC, the embodiment may further include a second-stage mixing structure, so that the intermediate frequency signal is controlled below 400MHz, which is convenient for 16-bit ADC sampling. As shown in fig. 4, a schematic structural diagram of another phased array weather radar transceiver module provided in the embodiment of the present invention is different from that shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, a first mixing element and the low pass filter may further include: and the third filter R8, the fourth single-stage power amplifier R9 and the second mixing element R10 are connected in sequence along the signal transmission direction.
In this embodiment, specific structures of the first frequency mixing element and the second frequency mixing element are not limited, and optionally, in this embodiment, the first frequency mixing element and the second frequency mixing element are both implemented by using a frequency mixer. The first and second mixing elements function to: multiplying the radio frequency signal by the local oscillator signal to obtain a plurality of frequency components, and then filtering out the unnecessary frequency components by the filter to obtain the frequency signal required by the system. Because the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal is about 100MHz and is much lower than that of the radio frequency signal, the low-pass filter is adopted, the radio frequency signal with relatively high frequency can be filtered, and better frequency characteristic is realized.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an in the receiving path who provides adopts the mode of secondary down conversion and multiple filtering, finally obtains intermediate frequency output signal.
The operation principle of the transceiver module provided in the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the structure shown in fig. 4, wherein the input radio frequency signal RFin (2.7 GHz-3.0 GHz) passes through at least two single-pole single-throw switches and then passes through a single-stage power amplifier, and after amplification, the phase of the input radio frequency signal RFin is shifted through the phase shifter, then the input radio frequency signal RFin is amplified in multiple stages and then passes through a first filter, and finally the input radio frequency signal passes through the circulator and then outputs radio frequency signal (2.7 GHz-3.0 GHz), and finally the input radio frequency signal RFin is radiated.
The echo signal received by the antenna is a radio frequency signal (2.7 GHz-3.0 GHz), the radio frequency signal passes through the circulator, then sequentially passes through the amplitude limiter, the low noise amplifier, the second filter and the second single-stage power amplifier, then is mixed with a Local Oscillator LO1(Local Oscillator), after being filtered, a primary down-conversion signal is obtained, then is amplified and is mixed with a Local Oscillator LO2 for the second time, and is subjected to low-pass filtering, a secondary down-conversion signal is obtained, at this time, the intermediate frequency signal is an intermediate frequency signal IFout, the frequency range is 80 MHz-120 MHz, and finally the intermediate frequency signal is amplified and output.
The weather radar works at a certain point frequency of 2.7 GHz-3.0GHz, and the received signal bandwidth is within 40MHz, namely the weather radar is a narrow-band signal receiving system, so that the bandwidth of a filter in a transceiving channel does not need to be particularly wide, and the interference signal is easily filtered.
In addition, it should be noted that the transceiver module in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a coupling detector J, where the coupling detector J performs coupling detection at the circulator to obtain the transmission power signal monitoring, that is, the coupling detector J is used to detect whether the power of the transmission signal is abnormal, that is, when the transmission path is damaged or the power is reduced due to performance degradation, this part may perform alarm monitoring. The embodiment of the utility model provides a transceiver module, transmission path input signal power 0dBm, the minimum 100W of output signal power belongs to high-power transceiver module, and the volume size is little.
