Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining amplitude phase errors of direction-finding channels space-borne array antenna. The method comprises the steps of configuring a calibrating signal source, a calibrating feed source and a calibrating processor on a basic structure of each of the direction-finding channels of the array antenna according to the characteristics of number change and error segmentation of the direction-finding channels of the array antenna; sequentially changing conduction relationships among switch matrixes by means of the characteristic of the conduction relationships among the switch matrixes; obtaining responses of N paths of channels to calibrating signals under the different conduction relationships among the switch matrixes; grouping a plurality of responses in different states into an equation set; obtaining a relative amplitude and a relative phase of the N paths of channels by solving the equation set; and therefore, obtaining an amplitude phase error of each of the direction-finding channels of the array antenna. The method provided by the invention is convenient in operation and capable of precisely determining the amplitude phase errors of the direction-finding channels of the array antenna.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a calibration method of a space-borne array antenna, in particular to a method for determining the amplitude and phase error of a direction-finding channel of the space-borne array antenna, which can be widely used in space-borne array antenna systems. Background technique [0002] In general spaceborne array antennas, especially spaceborne zeroing antennas, the direction finding channel is coupled from the N communication channels of the array antenna. When performing direction finding for interference, in order to reduce the scale of the subsequent direction finding processing part and simplify the system structure, use the switch matrix to select M channels from the N channels for processing (M represents the processing dimension, 2≤M≤N), but also divide the array antenna direction-finding channel into two sections, that is, before the switch matrix N channels and M channels after the switch matrix, and then make the array a...
