    • A monopulse radar system aims to correct an amplitude error and a phase error developed between receiving channels and improve the accuracy of a detected angle. To achieve the above aim, part of a transmit signal is supplied to respective channels on the receiving side through a signal transmission line for calibration. At this time, the gains of a variable phase shifter and a variable gain amplifier are adjusted so that an azimuth angle of a pseudo target, based on a signal for calibration, which is calculated by signal processing means, reaches a predetermined angle. Therefore, calibration work is simplified and an angular correction can be automated. Therefore, the present monopulse radar system is capable of coping even with variations in characteristic after product shipment due to environmental variations and time variations in parts characteristic.

    • An apparatus for calibrating a radar altimeter is described. The altimeter provides an angle to a target based on radar energy received at right, left, and ambiguous antennas. The apparatus comprises a turntable on which the radar is mounted, a turntable controller which controls positioning of the radar altimeter, a radar energy source receiving transmit signals from the radar altimeter, a reflector, and a calibration unit. The reflector reflects and collimates radar energy from the radar source towards the radar altimeter. The calibration unit receives an angle from the controller indicative of a position of the radar altimeter with respect to the collimated radar energy and a measured angle from the radar altimeter. The calibration unit calculates a correction based on differences between the angle received from the turntable and the measured angle received from the altimeter and provides the calibration correction to the altimeter.

    • A system is provided for reducing the time that a ship must be maintained on station to collect calibration data by reducing the frequencies at which calibration data is to be collected. Since it is impractical to consider calibrating over elevation angle and polarization on the full-scale ship, an accurate scale model and test facility are utilized, with surface wave data being collected from the ship before model-based data can be utilized. In the subject system, the number of calibration frequencies used aboard ship is dramatically reduced by as much as 80%, thus reducing the time the ship must be on station when doing a calibration run. In one embodiment, the shipboard surface wave data for one elevation and one polarization is combined with surface wave and sky wave data from the scale model to generate an array manifold or database used in subsequent direction finding activities. In order to minimize the frequencies at which shipboard data is collected, the set of frequencies used for shipboard calibration is limited to a subset of all the original calibration frequencies. The number of frequencies used for shipboard calibration is reduced by selecting frequencies which generate adjustment, or weighting factors which are valid over a wide bandwidth.
    • 提供了一种系统,用于减少船舶在车站上维护的时间,以通过减少要收集校准数据的频率来收集校准数据。 由于在全尺度船舶上考虑对仰角和极化进行校准是不切实际的,所以使用精确的比例模型和测试设施,在利用基于模型的数据之前,从船上收集表面波数据。 在主题系统中,船上使用的校准频率数量大大减少了80%,从而减少了在进行校准运行时船舶必须驻车的时间。 在一个实施例中,用于一个高程和一个极化的船上表面波数据与来自比例模型的表面波和天波数据组合以产生用于后续方向发现活动的阵列歧管或数据库。 为了最小化收集船上数据的频率,用于船上校准的频率集被限制为所有原始校准频率的一个子集。 通过选择产生调整的频率或在宽带宽上有效的加权因子,减少了用于船上校准的频率数。

    • A method to optimize a mixer (20) includes setting a DC bias current (24) at a predetermined level correlated to an RF frequency or band of interest, and varying the power output (32) of a local oscillator (36) until the DC voltage (66) of the mixer (20) is at a predetermined voltage.

    • A method of interference cancellation in antenna test measurements is achieved by acquiring an acquisition at a test port of an antenna test instrument in response to an internal signal source, stamping the data acquisition time, and measuring a signal vector that has both a reflection signal component and an interference signal component. Another acquisition at the test port without the internal signal source is obtained with limited data points to detect whether there are interference signals. If there is significant interference power, a complete acquisition is obtained without the internal signal source, the data acquisition time is stamped, and an interference vector that has only the interference signal is measured. Then the interference frequency is measured, an interference phase shift between the two data acquisitions is calculated, an interference vector for the combined reflection/interference vector is predicted using the interference vector and the phase shift, and the predicted interference vector is subtracted from the signal vector to obtain the actual reflection signal for the antenna in the absence of interference.
    • 天线测试测量中的干扰消除方法是通过在天线测试仪器的测试端口响应于内部信号源获取采集,标记数据采集时间,并测量具有反射信号分量的信号矢量 和干扰信号分量。 在没有内部信号源的测试端口处的另一个采集是通过有限的数据点获得的,以检测是否存在干扰信号。 如果存在明显的干扰功率,则无需内部信号源就可以获得完整的采集,数据采集时间被标记,并且仅测量干扰信号的干扰矢量。 然后测量干扰频率,计算两次数据采集之间的干扰相移,使用干扰矢量和相移预测组合反射/干扰矢量的干涉矢量,并从信号中减去预测干扰矢量 向量以在没有干扰的情况下获得天线的实际反射信号。
