摘要: A system for comparing the frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator to a stable reference oscillator to generate control signals which maintain the voltage controlled oscillator in phase lock with the reference oscillator. The circuit utilizes a digital frequency comparator to determine whether the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator is above or below the reference frequency. When the frequency of the oscillator is either above or below the desired value, pulses are generated which are integrated to produce a DC signal which changes the frequency of the oscillator to achieve the desired value. Additionally, a continuous electrical signal is generated when the output of the voltage controlled oscillator is in phase with the reference signal. When phase lock is achieved the output of the frequency determining circuit goes to zero and phase lock is maintained by the continuous electrical signal.

摘要: A digitally controlled microwave phase lock loop for switching rapidly from one lock frequency to another is disclosed. A digital word corresponding to a desired input voltage for a selected frequency is converted to an analog voltage for application to the coarse tuning port of the loop's voltage controlled oscillator. Prior to switching to another frequency, the error voltage for the fine tuning port is compared with a zero error reference voltage. The least significant bit of the digital word for such frequency is increased or decreased by one depending on the direction difference between the compared voltages. This incrementally changed word controls the coarse tuning voltage during the next selection of the particular frequency. The system is initialized by repetitively selecting each of the possible frequencies until the digital word for each selected frequency is within one increment of the zero error reference voltage for the fine tuning port.

摘要: A vibration noise filtering system for use in airborne radar master oscillator, RMO, systems is disclosed. Master and slave crystal oscillators are used, the slave oscillator being phase locked to the master oscillator governed by a phase locked loop, PLL, having a predetermined low frequency bandwidth. The master oscillator is structurally coupled directly to a source of vibration of the aircraft, while the slave oscillator is isolated and supported from the vibration source by a mechanical passive isolator having a resonant frequency well within the low frequency bandwidth of the PLL. The output of the slave oscillator which is the source of the RMO signal has a phase spectral density within the phase stability requirements of a typical RMO across the operating modulating frequency ranges of both air-to-ground and air-to-air radar modes.

摘要: This invention is directed to a narrow band filter for eliminating out-of-band noise in the oscillator signal of a doppler radar system. It provides a very high Q filter derived from a Bulk Acoustic Resonator's (BAR) high Q, L-Band response and uses thermal feedback to lock the BAR's response band onto the input frequency. The BAR is a very narrow band filter with a Q near 40,000 and a comblike frequency response having passbands occurring every 5 MHz, approximately. The comblike response of the BAR shifts down 60 KHz for every 1.degree. C. rise in temperature. In this invention a frequency sensitive heater is used to move the response comb of the BAR up or down in accordance with changes in the frequency of the incoming signal. The input frequency can be allowed to drift and the heat source will produce more heat or less heat, keeping the response right at the input frequency.

摘要: A phased array antenna having a first plurality of phase shifters each connected to a solid state transmit module power amplifier. Equal split power combiners, each having a pair of inputs and a pair of outputs, are connected to the power amplifiers and to each other in a corporated tree hierarchal configuration. One of the pair of inputs of each of the power combiners of each higher hierarchy is connected to one of the pair of outputs of the power combiners of a lower hierarchy. A subarray is connected to the other of the pair of outputs of each of the power combiners. A subarray is connected to both outputs of the highest hierarchy. A second plurality of individual phase shifter elements are associated with the individual elements of each subarray. The first plurality of phase shifter elements adjust the illumination and phase of the signal entering each subarray. The second plurality of phase shift elements steer the beam. The array architecture enables varying the aperture taper without incurring significant power loss; and the internal tapering of each subarray to control quantization effects.

摘要: A radar exciter including a direct digital synthesis (DDS) wideband waveform generator which performs the frequency synthesis function heretofore performed by a direct analog synthesizer. This is achieved by deriving the DDS frequencies, the exciter RF frequencies, the radar synchronizer clock frequency and receiver analog/digital (A/D) converter clock frequency from a common signal source generating a master frequency. The present invention eliminates the direct analog synthesizer and relies solely on the digital generation of waveforms by a DDS wideband waveform generator which performs a discrete sampling process so as to provide coherent frequency and timing relationships.

摘要: The present invention includes an apparatus that prebiases a transmitted radar signal. The prebiasing of the transmit signal automatically aligns the return signals in one dimension or dimensionally transforms the return signals thereby removing the need for one of the dimensional processing operations of a conventinal two dimensional return signal interpolator. A map function generator produces small frequency (phase) changes in the transmitted signal during each pulse over the entire integration or exposure period. The map function generator produces a parabolic frequency change control signal applied during the integration period. The control signal is divided into segments where each segment controls a single transmit pulse. The control signal modifies a linear frequency modulation control signal. conventionally produced by high resolution radar systems.

摘要: A phase lock loop configuration having a voltage controlled oscillator utilized, for example, in radar systems wherein false locking is prevented and loop bandwidth is maintained substantially constant. The voltage controlled oscillator includes a cavity resonator within which is located two tuning varactor diodes, one of which is heavily coupled to the resonator and comprises a coarse tuning port and one of which is lightly coupled and comprises the fine tuning port. The configuration is such that when the loop is locked, following a sweep mode of the coarse tuning voltage, the fine tune voltage is held constant at a predetermined DC level thereby making the fine tuning sensitivity essentially constant as the coarse tuning voltage changes the frequency over the band of interest.
