一种T/R组件收发转换时间的通用测量方法

    A General Measurement Method for Transmit-receive Switching Time of T/R Module

    • 摘要: T/R组件作为有源相控阵雷达的核心部件,其稳定性至关重要。由于雷达收发同频的工作特点,时分是T/R组件采用的基本工作模式,用以保证环路稳定性。收发转换时间是T/R组件的一个关键参数,仅仅粗略测量满足指标要求是不够的。在需要调整时序时,如何方便的调整而不会影响组件工作稳定性,尚缺乏有效的指导。本文探讨了一种通用的收发转换时间测量方法,寻找最小收发时序,测量最小收发转换时间。在此基础上,对收发时序作出的适当调整,将不会影响组件稳定性。同时,对组件工作中出现的自激问题进行了分析与解决,反映出收发时序对于瞬时环路隔离度具有较大影响,乃至组件整体的稳定性。

       

      Abstract: The stability of the T/R module, which is the core component of active phased array radar, is crucially important. Due to the working characteristic of radar systems, where the transmit and receive signals share the same frequency band, TD serves as the fundamental operating mode for the T/R module to ensure loop stability. Transmit-receive switching time is a critical parameter of the T/R module. Merely conducting rough measurements to meet the specified requirements is insufficient. How to efficiently adjust timing sequences without compromising the operational stability of the T/R module remains a lack of effective guidelines. This paper explores a general measurement method for transmit-receive switching time, aiming to identify the minimum transmit-receive timing sequence and measure the minimal transmit-receive switching time. Based on this foundation, appropriate adjustments to timing sequence will not compromise the stability of the T/R module. At the same time, the self-excited problem which is observed during operation is discussed and the solutions are presented. This shows that the timing sequence has great influence on the transient loop isolation, and even the overall stability of the T/R module.
