      RF front-end multi-channel amplitude and phase weighting loop for interference mitigation

      • 摘要: 为抑制天线阵列接收到的强电磁干扰,提出了一种新颖的射频前端多通道幅相加权环形电路. 该电路可以为天线阵列每个信号通道的响应构建一个空间传输零点,当零点角度对准干扰源方向时,强干扰即可被抑制. 加权环路由与N元天线阵列连接的N个电路单元组成,每个电路单元内部包含一个正交耦合器和一个幅相加权网络. 首先分析了电路单元的散射参数矩阵,并计算了在停止角处构建零点时幅相加权网络的幅相权值;然后,分析了阵元数目、耦合器的耦合度、阵元间距以及阵列形式对加权环路响应的影响,并由此总结了指导加权环路设计的一般方法;最后,作为原理验证示例,在工作频率1.3 GHz下用注入式测试方法对组装的四单元加权环路进行测试,实测结果与仿真结果比较吻合. 在预设的停止角下,所有4个信道的响应都已形成了显著的传输零点,使环路可实现至少20 dB的干扰抑制. 同时,信号通过角处小信号的插入损耗几乎为零,不会影响期望信号的正常接收.

         

        Abstract: In order to mitigate the strong electromagnetic interference received by the antenna array, a novel radio frequency (RF) front-end multi-channel amplitude-phase weighting loop circuit is proposed. The circuit can construct a spatial transmission null for the response of each signal channel of the antenna array. When the null angle is aligned with the direction of the interference source, the strong interference can be mitigated. The weighting loop circuit is composed of N circuit elements connected to the N-element antenna array. Each circuit element contains a quadrature coupler (QC) and an amplitude-phase weighting network (APWN). Firstly, the scattering parameter matrix of the circuit element is analyzed, and the amplitude weights and phase weights of the amplitude-phase weighting network are calculated to constrate a null at stop-angle. Then, some factors that have an impact on the circuit response are analyzed, such as the number of arrays, coupling degree of the coupler, array spacing, and array form. According to the results, the general method for guiding the loop circuit design is summarized. Finally, as a proof-of-principle example, the assembled four-element weighting loop circuit is measured at an operating frequency of 1.3 GHz using an injection measurment method. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulation results. At the preset stop-angle, significant transmission nulls have been constructed for the response of all four channels, enabling the loop circuit to achieve at least 20 dB of interference rejection. Meanwhile, the insertion loss to small signals at pass angle is almost zero, which means the circuit does not affect the reception of the desired signal.
