Abstract

Conventional receive digital beamforming (DBF) systems generally employ array architectures that use fixed radio frequency (RF) manifolds to combine the elements of several sub-apertures into a small number of digital channels. These channels are then used in adaptive beamforming to cancel interference. A significant limiting factor in the performance of an adaptive array is how well the transfer functions match among the various receiver chains. Emerging technologies have the potential to allow for much greater achievable channel match. These architectures typically use broad RF channelization filters followed by direct RF sampling. Most of the out-of-band and image rejection filtering is accomplished digitally, thus match among the various receiver channels is not limited by IF filtering. This paper characterizes this effect via analysis of simulated random realizations of the filters representative of channel transfer functions.
高数字直接射频采样阵列结构中的信道对消率
传统的接收数字波束形成(DBF)系统通常采用使用固定射频(RF)流形的阵列架构,将几个子孔径的元素组合成少量的数字通道。这些信道随后被用于自适应波束形成以消除干扰。自适应阵列性能的一个重要限制因素是不同接收链之间传递函数的匹配程度。新兴技术有可能实现更大程度的渠道匹配。这些架构通常使用宽射频信道化滤波器,然后直接射频采样。大多数带外滤波和图像抑制滤波都是数字完成的,因此各种接收机信道之间的匹配不受中频滤波的限制。本文通过分析代表信道传递函数的滤波器的模拟随机实现来表征这种效应。
