    摘要:

    和差波束形成网络是单脉冲毫米波相控阵天线的重要组成部分,而和差波束形成网络作为单脉冲相控阵天线馈电的重要部分,其幅相一致性决定了整个相控阵天线差波束零深、波束指向精度和副瓣抑制等指标的性能好坏。本文提出并设计的K波段和差波束形成网络是由宽带和差器和功分网络组成,这种宽带和差波束形成网络在K波段具有良好的幅相一致性。该和差波束形成网络采用一种“三明治”结构形式进行加工实现,整个和差波束形成网络采用带状线加工完成后与上下结构腔体自动化压合而成,与传统的微带线+结构腔体手工焊接的方式相比较,前者加工形成的和差波束形成网络具有更好的加工一致性,更低的生产装配难度,更高的生产效率和装配良品率。经过设计加工并实际测试,在Fl~Fh的频率范围内,和差波束形成网络每个端口的驻波均≤2,端口幅度一致性(均方根统计值)≤0.21dB,端口相位一致性(均方根统计值)≤2.8°。测试结果表明,该种形式的和差波束形成网络具有良好的性能,可广泛用于工程批量生产任务。

    Abstract:

    The sum-difference beamforming network is a critical component of monopulse millimeter-wave phased array antennas. As a vital part of the feed system for monopulse phased array antennas, its amplitude and phase consistency directly determines key performance metrics such as the null depth of the difference beam, beam pointing accuracy, and sidelobe suppression. This paper proposes and designs a K-band sum-difference beamforming network composed of a broadband sum-difference device and a power divider network. This broadband sum-difference beamforming network demonstrates excellent amplitude and phase consistency in the K-band. The network is fabricated using a "sandwich" structure, where the entire stripline-based beamforming network is automatically press-bonded with upper and lower structural cavities after processing. Compared with traditional manual welding methods employing microstrip lines and structural cavities, this approach offers significantly improved manufacturing consistency, reduced production and assembly difficulty, higher production efficiency, and superior assembly yield. Through design, fabrication, and practical testing, the following performance metrics were achieved within the Fl ~ Fh frequency range: VSWR ≤ 2 for all ports;Port amplitude consistency (RMS): ≤ 0.21 dB;Port phase consistency (RMS): ≤ 2.8°。The test results demonstrate that this form of sum-difference beamforming network exhibits excellent performance and can be widely applied to engineering mass production tasks.
