Experimental study on asymmetric damage effect of phased array communication system
-
摘要: 高功率微波可通过“前门”耦合毁伤通信系统的射频前端关键器件,导致系统性能降级或失效。对于相控阵通信系统,其射频通道数量多,各射频通道损伤程度并不一致,这种非对称的损伤会造成相控阵天线波束合成受到影响,导致系统性能更加恶化。通过半实物仿真实验和系统级辐照实验,开展了典型相控阵通信系统的非对称损伤效应研究。研究结果表明,高功率微波毁伤相控阵通信系统后将造成各通道出现非对称损伤,且幅相不一致性越大,尤其是相位不一致性越大,系统性能受到的额外损失也就越大。Abstract:
Background High Power Microwave can destroy key components of communication system through front door coupling, resulting in system performance degradation or failure. For receivers with a single RF channel, the degree of system performance degradation can generally be evaluated using the effect results at the device level.Purpose However, for phased array communication systems, the assessment of the system-level damage effect of HPM is a challenge. This is because there are numerous RF channels in the system, and the damage of each channel is not consistent, making it difficult to apply the effect results at the device level to evaluate the system performance.Methods To verify the asymmetric damage effect of HPM on phased array communication systems and assess the impact of this asymmetric damage on system performance, based on theoretical analysis, this paper established a semi-physical simulation experiment and system-level irradiation experiment method, and conducted research on the asymmetric damage effect of typical phased array communication systems. The study investigated the additional impact of amplitude and phase inconsistency on system performance and carried out system-level verification experiments.Results The results show that when the phased array communication system was damaged by HPM, asymmetric damage occurs between channels, affecting the synthesis of the phased array antenna beam, and further deteriorating the system performance.Conclusions Moreover, the greater the amplitude and phase inconsistency, especially the greater the phase inconsistency, the greater the additional loss of system performance. -
