Definitions
- the invention relates to a circular search radar antenna with height detection using a cylinder parabolic reflector illuminated by a line source, the azimuthal scanning by mechanical rotation and the scanning in elevation by electronic swiveling of the radiation beam that runs from the parallel to the cylinder axis of the reflector. is emitted by a line source formed by a row of emitters, which forms the radiation aperture of a wave-guiding primary emitter in which the individual emitters are fed in terms of radiation via electronically controllable phase shifters for focusing and desired beam deflection in the elevation.
- Such a search radar antenna with height detection is known from DE-AS 2533179.
- a closed wave-guiding sector horn is used as the primary radiator, in which horizontal partition walls are inserted in the aperture area running parallel to the cylinder axis of the reflector, so that superimposed waveguide pieces result which form the individual radiators.
- the object of the invention is to design a circular search radar antenna with mechanical rotation in the azimuth plane in such a way that the possibility of detecting the height of targets and tracking several targets according to the so-called "track while scan” method exists. It should be possible to implement such an antenna in an economical manner.
- both known possibilities are technically very complex, so that the invention aims for a simpler and more economical solution.
- the stated object which relates to a search radar antenna of the type mentioned at the outset, is achieved in that the wave-guiding primary radiator is a so-called flat parabolic antenna (pillbox antenna) in that several small exciters are arranged one above the other in the focal line area of the flat-arabolic antenna, one of which is only operated in the case of transmission and two in pairs only in the case of reception. and that the two radiation lobes produced and superimposed by the pathogens operated in the case of reception are set such that they overlap and together are essentially encompassed by the lobe which is generated by the pathogen for transmission.
- the wave-guiding primary radiator is a so-called flat parabolic antenna (pillbox antenna) in that several small exciters are arranged one above the other in the focal line area of the flat-arabolic antenna, one of which is only operated in the case of transmission and two in pairs only in the case of reception. and that the two radiation lobes produced and superimposed by the pathogens operated in the case of reception are set such that
- a target direction accuracy can be achieved, which is of the order of 1 °.
- ranges of over 100 km are possible due to the large gain in antennas and the high transmission power to be transmitted with small secondary peaks.
- An advantageous development of the invention consists in that the shape of the radiation lobe generated by the exciter for the transmission case can be set differently by means of the electronically controllable phase shifters.
- a cosec 2 lobe or a normally shaped radiation lobe with any width of, for example, 3 °, 5 °, 10 ° or 20 ° can then be emitted.
- the transmission lobe shaping can be carried out by exclusively setting the phase assignment along the linear radiator for a given amplitude assignment.
- the two radiation lobes are electronically deflected by the electronically controllable phase shifters for a search process or for switching to an already known target.
- two exciters are then activated, which are at a relatively large distance from one another, whereas two exciters with a relatively small distance from one another are actuated to generate two sharp receiving lobes with a small angular offset.
- the pair of receiving lobes is advantageously deflected electronically in such a way that it remains aligned with the angular range of the transmitting lobe during the reception of the target echoes.
- Such a transmission lobe has the advantage of the larger transmission antenna gain and thus the greater range.
- the pair of receiving lobes can also be deflected electronically during the time in which the echoes of a transmitted pulse return from the different target distances.
- the antenna concept according to the invention offers the basis for a very flexible 3D search and tracking radar system according to the so-called “track while scan” method with the various possibilities for beam shape, beam width and deflection angle in the case of transmission and reception.
- the flat parabolic antenna is expediently arranged outside the beam path of the cylindrical parabolic reflector, so that an aperture covering of the cylindrical parabolic reflector is avoided.
- the flat parabolic antenna is advantageously designed in the so-called double-stick form and is also bent in the transverse direction in front of its elongated radiation opening.
- the radiator elements located in the aperture area of the flat parabolic antenna are thus supplied with radiation via the bent flat parabolic antenna.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that at least approximately horizontal metallic intermediate walls are inserted in the aperture area of the flat parabolic antenna parallel to the cylinder axis of the parabolic cylinder reflector, so that there are superimposed waveguide pieces forming the individual radiators in which the electronically controllable phase shifters are arranged.
- These phase shifters are then advantageously designed as ferrite phase shifters.
- This type of phase shifter tolerates a relatively high transmission power and has relatively low transmission losses. They can be switched very quickly and also relatively often. Because of their non-reciprocal nature, however, it is necessary to switch between sending and receiving.
- phase shifters thus receive the radiation emerging from the flat parabolic antenna on the aperture side and, after a corresponding phase shift, pass them on to the individual radiators, which are designed as horn radiators in the case of the waveguide design of the phase shifter.
- the individual radiators arranged linearly in the aperture region of the flat antenna can each also consist of a collector radiator element which is aligned inside the flat parabolic antenna and an emitter radiator element which is aligned in the direction of the cylindrical parabolic reflector.
- An electronically controllable phase shifter is then arranged between the respective collector element and the associated emitter emitter element.
- a collector radiator element, an emitter radiator element and an electronically controllable phase shifter are expediently applied to a common substrate plate and then form a single radiator module. This also includes the driver electronics for the phase shifter.
- the azimuthal side lobes can be further reduced by special training of the single radiators.
- Radiation with circular polarization can also be generated by a polarizer on the individual radiators.
- Dipoles for an integrated IFF (identification friend foe) antenna can be attached to both sides of the line source consisting of the individual radiators.
- the small exciters of the flat parabolic antenna forming the primary radiator are advantageously horn radiators or open waveguides.
- FIG. 1 shows the combination of a reflector antenna with a phase-controlled antenna according to the invention using a line source in front of a cylindrical parabolic reflector 1.
- the line source running parallel to the cylinder axis of the reflector 1 is excited by a guided wave.
- a kinked flat parabolic antenna 2 is used as the feed system of this line source, in the aperture area of which are located the radiator elements 3 forming the line source, into which phase shifters 4 are introduced.
- the radiator elements 3 are supplied with radiation via the kinked flat parabolic antenna 2, which is designed to avoid aperture coverage by its exciters 5 to 10.
- the vertical emitter element row is expanded by small funnel walls 11 and 12 in the horizontal plane in such a way that the radiation occupancy of the side reflector edge is optimized with respect to gain and secondary lobe level.
- the cylindrical parabolic reflector 1 In the near field of this line source is the cylindrical parabolic reflector 1, which deflects the more or less deflected parallel beam in the vertical plane and focuses the radiation diverging in the horizontal plane.
- the electronically controlled phase shifter 4 in Aperture range of the two-story flat parabolic antenna 2 effect the focusing and the deflection in the elevation plane.
- the flat parabolic antenna 2 is therefore kinked so that the antenna dimension is reduced.
- the fold line along the aperture is designated by 13.
- exciters 5 to 10 Several small horns arranged above the focal line of the flat parabolic antenna 2 are used as exciters 5 to 10. Of these, only the exciter 5 is used for transmission, and two of the exciters 6 to 10 are operated in each case when received.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of the flat parabolic antenna 2 used in the antenna arrangement according to Fig. 1.
- the flat parabolic antenna 2 serving as the primary radiator is of two-tier design in such a way that a narrow cylindrical parabolic reflector 14 and two mutually parallel, parallel metallic plates 15 and 16 are provided with a metallic intermediate plate 17 running parallel to these plates 15 and 16, but not reaching as far as the parabolic reflector 14, so that there is a plate gap 18 and 19 on each side of this intermediate plate 17.
- the small exciters 5 to 10 which are designed as horn radiators or as open waveguides, are arranged in the focal line region of the plate interspace 18.
- a device for deflecting the radiation from the plate space 18 into the flap space 19 is provided.
- This device for deflecting radiation is formed by two 45 ° bevels 20 and 21 in the cross-sectional contour of the cylindrical parabolic reflector 14.
- the deflection of the radiation from one plate gap to the other can also take place exclusively through the narrow slot 22.
- the plate 16 and the intermediate plate 17, which enclose the plate gap 19 not containing the exciters 5 to 10, are bent toward the aperture of the flat parabolic antenna 2 along the line 13 around the broad side of the flat parabolic antenna 2.
- the area 23 forms a single radiator and is also provided with a phase shifter.
- the flat parabolic antenna 2 is widened at its aperture by means of the two funnel walls 11 and 12 in the horizontal plane and can be provided with transverse grooves 24.
- the individual radiators arranged linearly in the aperture region 23 of the flat parabolic antenna 2 can each consist of a collector radiator element which is aligned with the interior of the flat parabolic antenna 2 and an emitter radiator element which is aligned in the direction of the cylindrical parabolic reflector.
- the electronically controllable phase shifter is then arranged in the region 23 between the collector element and the associated emitter radiation element.
- a single radiator module is formed by a collector radiator element, an emitter radiator element and the electronically controllable phase shifter between them, which can all be attached to a common substrate plate with a driver circuit.
- the individual radiators can also be implemented in the form of waveguide individual radiators with a ferrite phase shifter, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 9.
- FIG. 3 shows a diagram of the levels of two signals received on a pair of exciters 6 to 10.
- the elevation angle 0 is plotted on the abscissa and the reception level in dB is plotted on the ordinate.
- the intersection angle of the two received signal lobes is designated by 0 S. 4
- E1 denotes the received signal level of one receiving lobe and E2 denotes the received signal level of the second receiving lobe, which are obtained from a pair of exciters 6 to 10 in FIG. 1.
- the target height results from the elevation angle and the distance. It is essential that the transmitting lobe emitted via the exciter 5 in FIG. 1 at least largely covers the respective pair of receiving lobes.
- a different setting of the phase shifters for example, can emit a cosec 2 lobe or a normally shaped radiation lobe with any width.
- the two pairs of reception lobes E and E2 lying one above the other which enable a fine bearing in the elevation by level comparison, can be electronically deflected together by the phase shifters.
- FIG. 5 shows an example of an excitation arrangement and a line routing of a feed system of an antenna according to the invention.
- the transmission signal from a transmitter 25, the signal input to a receiver 26 for evaluating the lower receiving lobe, the signal input to another receiver 27 for evaluating the upper receiving lobe, an angle signal 28, the power supply 29 for the phase shifter drivers and the IFF Signals 30 are fed to the antenna via a rotary coupling 31.
- two RF amplifiers 32 and 33 are also switched into the receive channels.
- the transmission signal from the transmitter 25 is fed to the exciter 5, whereas the signals picked up by the two exciters 9 and 10 via a switch 34 and the received signals coming from the exciters 6, 7 and 8 via the two switches 35 and 36 each individually on the Receiver 26 or the receiver 27 are connected. It is thus possible to operate the receiver 26 with the exciter 10 or 9 and the receiver 27 with one of the exciters 6 to 8 in each case.
- Detection of exciters 9 and 10 at different distances from one another and 6 to 8 on the other to form a pair and corresponding defocusing by means of the phase shifter can generate pairs of lobes with a larger beam width and a corresponding offset of their main beam direction, which are suitable for reception from the upper elevation angle range, in which one short range is sufficient, because the search time is reduced.
- z. B the two indicated by a circle exciters 6 and 10 effectively connected together by means of switches 34 to 36 to form reception lobes of about 10 ° beam width. If the two radiators 9 and 6 are effectively interconnected by means of the switches 34 to 36, the reception lobe widths of approximately 5 ° result, as indicated by the two rectangles.
- the result - as indicated by the two diamonds - is a reception beam width of approximately 2.5 °. If you want to create very narrow lobes of approximately 1.25 °, the two excitation exciters 8 and 9 are connected to form a pair.
- the exciter 5 for emitting the transmission signal can emit a Kosekans lobe or a radiation lobe with a beam width of, for example, 10 °, 5 ° or 2.5 ° by varying the setting of the phase shifters, which are not specifically shown in FIG. 5.
- the radiators 5 to 10 are shown hatched on the left in FIG. 5 in the aperture region 37 of the flat parabolic antenna, the plane of symmetry of which is designated by 38.
- FIG. 6 and 7 show the case of a transmitting lobe with Kosekans diagram 43 and electronic scanning of the illuminated area in the lower part with a narrow pair of receiving lobes 44 and 45 (FIG. 6) and in the upper part with a wider pair of receiving lobes 46 and 47 .
- FIG. 8 shows in diagram form a strongly bundled transmission lobe (pencii beam) 48 and a pair of receiving rods 49 and 50 designed for this purpose.
- the lobe design according to FIG. 8 has the advantage of the larger transmission antenna gain and thus the greater range compared to the Kosekan-shaped transmission diagram.
- a certain elevation angle range e.g. B. from 0 ° -10 °
- the transmitting lobe 48 and the receiving lobe pair 49, 50 are electronically deflected, the receiving lobe pair 49, 50 remaining aligned with the angular range of the transmitting lobe during the reception of the target echoes.
- the pair of receiving lobes 44, 45 and 46, 47 can also be electronically deflected during the time in which the echoes of a transmitted pulse return from the different target distances.
- the target distance R is plotted on the abscissa and the target flight height H is plotted on the ordinate.
- the double arrows 51, 52 and 53 and the connecting lines thereof to the individual clubs are intended to show which of the clubs are electronically deflected in the example.
- Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of the embodiment of the aperture region of the flat parabolic antenna 2 containing the individual radiators according to Fig. 1.
- the aperture region of the flat parabolic antenna running parallel to the cylinder axis of the cylindrical parabolic reflector at least approximately horizontal, metallic intermediate walls 54 are inserted, so that superimposed ones Waveguide pieces forming single radiators result in which the electronically controllable phase shifters 55 are arranged.
- these phase shifters 55 are designed as ferrite phase shifters (with, for example, 4 bits), which tolerate the relatively high transmission power and have relatively low transmission losses. They can be switched very quickly and quite often. Due to the non-reciprocal nature of the ferrite phase shifter 55, however, it is necessary to switch between sending and receiving.
- the phase shifters 55 receive the radiation emerging from the flat parabolic antenna and, after a corresponding phase shift, pass it on to the radiator elements, which are designed as horn radiators with the lateral funnel walls 11 and 12.
- the line source can be implemented, for example, with 80 phase-controlled elements, of which only the top three are shown in FIG. 9.
- H. driver electronics 58 for controlling the ferrite phase shifters 55 are installed per single radiator. Not shown in FIG. 9 are polarizers on the individual radiators, with the aid of which circular polarization can be generated.
