    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.

    摘要: A phase distortion detector is used in a wideband feedback control loop to detect phase distortion on a wideband pulsed linearly frequency modulated waveform (chirped) without the use of excessively long delay lines. The detector mixes two reference signals, each of a predetermined frequency, one frequency higher than the other. A phase lock loop ensures that the two signals are phase coherent. Each signal is then mixed with the chirped waveform, delayed for different time intervals, and mixed again to produce an error signal proportional to the phase distortion on the chirp pulse which distortion is also an indication of the frequency non-linearity of the chirp pulse. The error signal is then used to correct such non-linearity.

    摘要: An automatic frequency control for causing a local oscillator to track the frequency of a transmitter such that the received echo of a transmitted pulse may be combined with the output of the local oscillator in a mixer to provide an intermediate frequency signal which is suitable for amplification, filtering and detection operations. The automatic frequency control includes an average frequency control loop for determining the average frequency of the local oscillator output signal, an electromechanical frequency transducer cooperating with a sample and hold circuit for providing a modulating signal to modulate the average frequency of the local oscillator output signal in response to the frequency of the next pulse to be provided by the transmitter, and a modulation gain control loop for controlling the gain of the modulating signal to compensate for variations in the transfer functions of the electromechanical frequency transducer and the sample and hold circuit.

    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 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.
