带宽拓展的有源异频方向回溯系统研究

    Research on a Bandwidth-Extended Active Heterodyne Retrodirective System

    • 摘要: 针对现有基于混频架构的方向回溯系统带宽受限的问题,本文提出了一种带宽扩展的异频回溯系统。该系统由射频收发链路、双路同步变频频率源以及一对正交圆极化1×8阵列天线构成,其工作中心频率分别为3.5 GHz(右旋圆极化)与5.6 GHz(左旋圆极化),实现了3.4~3.6 GHz信号接收与5.44~5.76 GHz信号回溯发射。测试结果表明,射频链路增益可达47 dB,双路频率源实现了低杂散频率输出,阵列天线轴比优于4 dB。系统的单站RCS测试显示,在工作带宽内,其3 dB回溯功率波束宽度可达±45°。这验证了该系统在宽角度范围内实现了良好的宽带回溯性能,从而为无线能量传输、卫星通信等应用提供了有效的硬件平台支撑。

       

      Abstract: To address the bandwidth limitation issue in existing frequency-mixing-based retrodirective systems, this paper proposes a bandwidth-extended heterodyne retrodirective system. The system consists of an RF transceiver chain, a dual-channel synchronized frequency-conversion source, and a pair of orthogonally circularly polarized 1×8 array antennas. Its operating center frequencies are 3.5 GHz (right-hand circular polarization) and 5.6 GHz (left-hand circular polarization), enabling signal reception over 3.4–3.6 GHz and retrodirective transmission over 5.44–5.76 GHz. Measurement results show that the RF chain achieves a gain of up to 47 dB, the dual-channel frequency source exhibits low spurious output, and the antenna arrays maintain an axial ratio better than 4 dB. Monostatic RCS measurements further demonstrate that within the operating bandwidth, the system attains a 3 dB retrodirective power beamwidth of ±45°. These results confirm that the proposed architecture delivers robust wideband retrodirective performance across a broad angular range, providing an effective hardware platform for applications such as wireless power transfer and satellite communications.
