Accurate calibration of amplitude and phase inconsistency is a necessary condition for radar . Especially in the case of military radar and aircraft, it is not necessary to provide location information to the enemy, but rather to conceal possible information.

In addition, unlike the primary surveillance radar (PSR), which monitors the appearance of the target at all times, the secondary surveillance radar (SSR) transmits the interrogation signal to the target and receives the response signal. 2 illustrates a method of calibrating a monopulse radar system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. {\displaystyle {\vec {v}}_{\psi _{1}}\left(\psi \right)} Surveillance radars used in various fields, such as surveillance radars used for air traffic control (for example, Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR)) are usually used as primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance radar Of surveillance radars are used. = The computer also computes the correction for the location of the actual boresight of the monopulse antenna by performing a least square fit 614. A motion compensator, typically a pipeline computer, motion compensate 610, using the ground position measuring system motion compensates the data with respect to the reference and said data with respect to the same reference using the position and velocity from GPS/INS position velocity output 616 to obtain aligned pixels and aligned pixels. Therefore, the correction method of the radar system of the present invention checks and corrects deterioration of the azimuth and elevation detection performance of the primary surveillance radar, which is a monopulse radar, in real time using the information obtained from the secondary monitoring radar. A program is described for identifying, analyzing, and evaluationg candidate monopulse models and associated calibration procedures to permit accurate off-axis tracking of depolarizing targets. The primary reason for using the primary surveillance radar (PSR) is that, although the secondary surveillance radar (SSR) may provide more accurate secondary target information, the target may not provide the secondary target information. 3. Therefore, the monopulse ratio is only accurate to measure the deviation angle of a target within the main lobe of the system. Similarly to the case of converting the altitude information into the elevation information, even when the position information is converted into the azimuth information, the error can be converted by reflecting the error due to the propagation refraction effect. For example, although a least square linear fit is shown for identifying the position of the actual boresight, a simple linear fit will also work. n Calibration is an effective method for improving digital monopulse radar tracking performance since it can eliminate the amplitude-phase imbalance between channels. .css('text-decoration', 'underline') In order to fully understand the present invention, operational advantages of the present invention, and objects achieved by the practice of the present invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. In radar system, the amplitude-phase inconsistency of receiver's sum and difference channels will lead to the decrease of sensitivity of angle measurement, the decrease of angle measurement accuracy which will eventually lead to the instability of . The error E is computed in Error Correction 618, and fed back to monopulse antenna 602 for application to transmission/reception of radar data. This updated and expanded edition of an Artech House classic offers engineers a current and . , and therefore we have: and we can more easily see that -space is that the beam shape is identical no matter where it is steered, and is only a function of the deviation of the desired target phase from the actual target phase.

However, the present invention can be implemented in various different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described. To tackle this problem, we propose an improved alignment method based on the gradient feature of the radar radiation pattern. 2019 IEEE International Conference on Signal, Information and Data Processing (ICSIDP), Accurate calibration of amplitude and phase inconsistency is a necessary condition for radar system to track the measurement target accurately. Therefore, it is possible to correct the detection performance error due to deterioration in real time on site without using a separate measuring facility. 3. The target detection unit 120 obtains the target data by adding or subtracting the intensity of the beam applied by the four feed horns in a preset manner according to the arrangement of the feed horn, compares the obtained target data with the data of the monopulse table And acquires target information corresponding to matching data. term simply references the absolute phase to the physical center of the array. According to the present invention, the monopulse radar system includes: a peer identification unit which transmits question signals for peer identification and analyzes response signals applied from a target in response to the question signals to obtain identification information; a transceiver unit which radiates beams at . using an exchange matrix, The concept described herein is applicable to radar as well as sonar imaging. The beam pattern can be easily shown to be the familiar aliased sinc (asinc) function: This pattern is also known, for monopulse purposes, as the "sum" pattern, as it was obtained by summing all of the elements together. jQuery('.alert-link') Then, only as necessary for detected targets, it measures the same signal on the "del" channel, dividing the imaginary part of this result by the real part of the "sum" channel, then converting this ratio to a deviation angle using the relationships: This deviation angle, which can be positive or negative, is added to the beam pointing angle to arrive at the more accurate estimate of the actual target bearing angle. 12. A center of gravity or weighted average of normalized signals V received at SUM and DIFF channels from a live target are used to determine the target's actual azimuth. jQuery('.alert-message') {\displaystyle \left[{\vec {w}}\right]_{n}=a_{n}e^{j\left(n-{\frac {N-1}{2}}\right)\psi _{S}}} Journal of Physics: Conference Series, A monopulse radar is a kind of tracking radar that is aimed at a specified target and emits a beam (pulse, radio wave) and tracks a target by measuring a reflected wave. The secondary surveillance radar (SSR) receives the secondary target information directly from the target, while the primary surveillance radar (PSR) emits the beam and receives the reflected beam at the target to obtain the primary target information. The step of discriminating the target information is characterized by discriminating the primary target information having the position of the target closest to the position of the target according to the secondary target information among the primary target information. A method as described in claim 10 wherein said monopulse antenna is used in azimuth, said azimuth mapping said radar scattering location generally perpendicular to earth's gravity. Therefore, when the detection performance deteriorates during operation, I do not have a way to do that. -space, where For example, a parabola may be fit between data points to better estimate the boresight intersection with the zero axis. The result demonstrates that it is realizable to calibrate system error by tracking a satellite and the result is reliable. ) Notice that this result is the same if we instead first sum each half of the array, then add those results together. Here, the statistical processing can use an average value as an example. Although "monopulse" means one pulse, in the context of the present invention, the term is used in reference to receive processing of the radar echo signal and "monopulse" means one coherent burst of pulses. The method according to the present invention can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. n NPDI where: The typical hardware implementation of above method is shown in FIG. [ Systems and methods for real-time, nondestructive monitoring of energetic materials, Structure for bonding and electrical contact for direct bond hybridization, Return Signal Controls Radar System (342/73), Testing Or Calibrating Of Radar System (342/165), e) form the ratio of aligned pixels to said aligned pixels, for each of a plurality of said aligned pixels located near said calibrated boresight. 9. jQuery('.alert-content') glint, scintillation effects, Monopulse radar, i.e. jQuery('.alert-icon') ( N Speaking in terms of only one dimension for clarity, such as with a linear array, the signal is received by the array and summed into each of two subarrays with displaced phase centers. That is, the primary target information obtained in the primary monitoring radar (PSR) can be corrected by modifying the monopulse table. ( The sum channel is formed simply by adding these two subarray outputs, and the result is exactly the same as if the entire array was initially summed in one step. Error E is the difference between where the 0 crossing of the monopulse angle=0 line is found, compared to the calibrated, a priori location of the monopulse. Phase-comparison monopulse differs from amplitude-comparison monopulse in that the former uses displaced phase centers with a common beam pointing direction, while the latter uses a common phase center and displaced beam pointing directions. , using phase adjustments and an amplitude taper that is often applied to reduce sidelobes. The two delta signals are elevation (up-down) and traverse (left-right). Monopulse antennas produce a sum signal and two delta signals. A method as described in claim 3 wherein said ground position measuring system provides said velocity with an accuracy between 1 and 10 millimeters per second, said velocity integrated over time for reporting said position with respect to said reference for motion compensating said data and said data. 5. Secondary surveillance radar (SSR) can transmit question signals of various modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 / A, Mode 4, Mode C and Mode S) to acquire target distance, azimuth and altitude information, Transmits a response signal corresponding to the mode of the interrogation signal to the secondary surveillance radar (SSR). However, modifying the monopulse table due to the error value for one target may not only cause another detection error for the other target, but may also result in degradation of the stability and reliability of the radar surveillance system . The experimental radar was provided with two monopulse receiving systems to allow skin tracking of the aircraft by one receiver and a reference tracking of a time delayed beacon pulse repeater on the aircraft.
