Delay line loaded impulse antenna
Technical field
Patent of the present invention relates to a kind of pulse antenna, especially loaded impulse antenna.
Background technology
During pulse antenna pulses of radiation signal, if pulse current flow to from antenna input antenna end during this period of time in, pulse antenna can not all radiate electromagnetic energy, then just has remaining pulse current in antenna end.The residual impulse electric current can return along original path in antenna, continues the electromagnetic radiation energy in process after this, just has tail pulse like this in the pulses of radiation waveform of antenna.These tail pulses can be overlapping in time with the signal from target, forms the interference to echo signal, therefore will take measures to reduce the amplitude of tail pulse in these waveforms usually.At present, known pulse antenna is to adopt loading method to reduce the amplitude of tail pulse mostly.Wherein the resistance loading is a kind of loading method of using always, and resistance can absorb the residual impulse energy that returns from antenna end, thereby has reduced the amplitude of tail pulse.But since resistance at the input of antenna between the end, loading resistor not only absorbs remaining pulse energy in the antenna, and flow to from antenna input the antenna end process at pulse current, loading resistor also to absorb in the antenna will radiation pulse energy.Therefore the radiation efficiency of loaded impulse antenna is lower.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the objective of the invention is to propose a kind of delay line loaded impulse antenna, this antenna loading resistor only absorbs remaining pulse energy in the antenna, do not absorb in the antenna will radiation pulse energy, reduced the adverse effect that resistance loads the paired pulses antenna radiation efficiency.
Technical scheme: delay line loaded impulse antenna of the present invention is made up of pulse antenna, delay line and loading resistor, wherein; Pulse antenna comprises the input of pulse antenna and the end of pulse antenna, and pulse signal is at first propagated or radiation to the end of pulse antenna from the input of pulse antenna, is connected with delay line at the end of pulse antenna; Delay line in its space that occupies not the energy emission on the paired pulses antenna main radiation direction form and stop; Delay line gives in the pulse antenna not that the energy of the pulse signal of radiation provides additional current path, moves along additional current path at the remaining pulse current of pulse antenna end; Loading resistor is distributed on the delay line, and the end of delay line has just reduced the amplitude of tail pulse in the pulse signal for open circuit, loading resistor consumes remaining pulse energy on the delay line.Loading resistor is the resistance of lumped parameter form or the resistance of distributed constant form.Change the amplitude that the total resistance sum of all loading resistors on the delay line just changes tail pulse in the pulse signal that delay line produces, the resistance that changes loading resistor also changes the amplitude of tail pulse in the pulse signal that delay line produces along the distribution mode of delay line.The end of pulse antenna is connected with delay line by the mode of direct mode or electromagnetic coupled.Delay line sets off on substrate base, or is suspended in the air.The form of pulse antenna is a line of rabbet joint horn antenna, or necktie knot antenna, or the plate speaker antenna, or conical antenna, or dipole antenna, or the simple oscialltor antenna.
Beneficial effect: the invention has the beneficial effects as follows that both used loading resistor to reduce the amplitude of tail pulse in the aerial radiation waveform, the adverse effect of loading resistor paired pulses antenna radiation efficiency is smaller simultaneously.
Because delay line provides an additional via for the remaining pulse current that arrives antenna end, make and have only in the residual impulse electric current sub-fraction to return the tail pulse that forms in the waveform along original path, the major part of residual impulse electric current flows through delay line.The amplitude of tail pulse is very little like this.On the other hand, add on delay line and carry resistance lumped parameter or distributed constant, these loading resistors can be absorbed in the energy of residual impulse electric current on the delay line to reduce the amplitude of other tail pulse in the radiation waveform.Because loading resistor only absorbs remaining pulse energy in the antenna, do not absorb in the antenna will radiation pulse energy, therefore compare with common resistance loading method, the adverse effect of loading resistor paired pulses antenna radiation efficiency is little among the present invention.
