Abstract

This paper describes an ubiquitous 2D radar, called Omega 360, capable of a rose of adjacent simultaneous staring beams which allow a continuous bi-dimensional coverage of the controlled space. In particular, the attention is focused on the antenna features obtained by means of a frustum of cone. The signal received by every column is amplified, digitally down converted and combined to form independent beams. The current configuration of the Digital Antenna Evaluator (D.Ant.E) is arranged to create 8 simultaneous beams that are enough for the purpose of the study aimed at the experimental demonstration of the functionalities of an ubiquitous radar. In particular, attention is paid to verify the antenna pattern characteristics after Digital Beam Forming (DBF) downstream of pulse compression. The benches of measurement and the adopted methodology are discussed in detail. Finally, some future objectives are envisaged in order to accomplish a full chain of signal processing up to the plot extraction and track formation. In fact, the industrial aim is the realization of a complete radar to be used for civil and military applications.

欧米茄360泛在二维雷达锥体天线的实验验证

本文描述了一种无处不在的二维雷达，称为Omega 360，能够同时产生一系列相邻的凝视光束，从而允许对受控空间进行连续的二维覆盖。特别地，重点讨论了利用锥台获得的天线特征。每一列接收到的信号经过放大、数字向下转换和组合形成独立的波束。数字天线评估器(D.Ant.E)的当前配置被安排为创建8个同时的波束，足以用于旨在实验演示无处不在雷达功能的研究目的。特别注意验证脉冲压缩下游数字波束形成(DBF)后的天线方向图特性。详细讨论了测量平台和采用的方法。最后，设想了一些未来的目标，以完成一个完整的信号处理链，直到地块提取和轨道形成。事实上，工业目标是实现用于民用和军事应用的完整雷达。
