摘要: 提出了一种Ka波段全相参雷达收发前端电路的设计方法,该设计方法综合考虑了收发变频本振(频综)和收发射频前端电路的特点和设计要求,对上/下变频的频率分配进行优化规划,充分利用了直接数字频率合成(DDS)、锁相环(PLL)和FPGA等的优点,从而既降低本振的实现难度,又可在频谱纯度(相噪和杂散水平)与变频时间等关键技术指标上得到了较高的综合表现。基于此,研制实现了一款性能优良的Ka波段全相参雷达收发前端系统组件,该组件已成功地应用在某Ka波段全相参雷达系统中。实测结果表明:当S/C波段的PLL本振源最小步进15 MHz、带宽480 MHz时,发射端杂散电平小于-65 dBc,接收端杂散小于-70 dBc,相噪水平优于-94 dBc/Hz@1 kHz,系统最大变频(频差480 MHz)时间小于15 μs。Abstract: A technique for designing the transceiver front-part system module for Ka-band full coherent radar is proposed. By good frequency programming, circuits designing and the perfect use of DDS, phase locked loop(PLL) and FPGA devices, the better performances of spectrum purity (phase noise and spur lever) and converting time are obtained, and a high-performance transceiver front-part module is developed. The measurement results show that in S/C band, when the minimum frequency step is 15M Hz and the bandwidth is 480 MHz, the measured transmitter spur is less than ?65 dBc, the corresponding receiver spur is less than ?70 dBc, the measured phase noise is less than ?94 dBC/Hz@1 kHz, and the maximum frequency switching time is less than 15 μs.
