    主動相列雷達能夠達成波束的迅速掃描與低旁波瓣的雜訊抑制,其關鍵技術之一在於主動相列天線。主動相列天線除了被動天線功能外亦將發射機與接收機以分散式結構整併,然而在高度整合之情況下,射頻、數位、電源、環控與機構不論組裝或維修都須完整規劃設計。Active phased array radar, benefitting from the active phased array antenna which is one of the core techniques for developing AESAs (Active Electronically Scanned Arrays), is capable of achieving rapid beam steering using phase control and suppressing noise by low sidelobe level. The active phased array antenna not merely includes features of passive antenna but also entails the transmitter and receiver in a distributed way. However, due to high integration, the assembly and repair procedures for the whole system referring to radio frequency, digital techniques, power, environmental control, and mechanisms are compulsory to be thoroughly considered and well designed.

    高功率收發模組在主動式相列雷達系統中扮演著極為關鍵的角色,不僅是因為一座雷達就需要搭配成千上萬套的數量,更是因為由每一套收發模組的尺寸與射頻特性,幾乎就可以推定系統頻段與最大的偵測距離等效能。故各國欲發展主動式相列雷達,就必須要先完成此關鍵模組的開發,本篇將會簡單介紹主動式相列雷達收發模組的發展技術,以及面對全新型態的全數位化主動式相列雷達的發展趨勢下,我們必須先掌握之關鍵技術。High power transmit/receive modules have played a very critical role in active phased array radar systems, not only being in which hundreds of and thousands of them needed to be deployed, but determining the operating frequency and maximum detection range by their size and RF performance.

The extant digital phased array radar systems are based on T/R module, high-speed signal transmission, and digital signal processing. Digital beamforming is capable of instantaneous multi-beam generation and real-time adaptive signal processing.

    AESA全名為Active Electronically Scanned Array,是相列天線的一種,作為主動相列雷達的天線使用。AESA由發展迄今已經超過50年。由於性能優異,發展之初大量應用於陸基與艦載雷達之上,卻很少應用於飛行器,主要是受限於體積與重量。近年來由於半導體製程技術的快速發展,晶片整合度高,輕與小的特性,很快地被應用在AESA上,縮小的體積與減輕的重量使得主動相列雷達迅速發展於戰機之上,並朝飛彈邁進。本文主要針對應用在AESA之T/R與核心晶片稍作簡介,並介紹系統晶片實驗室第一顆採用CMOS製程自行研發的X頻段升降頻晶片UDC019B。Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna, which is a type of phased array antenna, is used as part of active phased array radars. For more than five decades, AESA has been developed and widely applied to land-based or shipborne radars, but rarely to aero-based ones due to their greater size and weight. However, in recent years, with the rapid development of semiconductor processing, the integrated chips have been made with a higher degree of integration, a smaller size and lighter weight. As a result, they were capable of being applied to AESA, and subsequently to the development of aero-based AESA radars and missiles due to the reduced volume and weight. This paper introduces the T/R and core chips used on X band AESA, and the 1st CMOS chip for X-band Up Down Converter UDC019B in the ESRD SoC Lab.

    艦載相列雷達在風力、海浪造成搖晃的影響下進行空間目標物的搜索及追蹤,天線波束指向將因此產生誤差,若要正常的對目標物進行搜索與追蹤則需要進行波束指向姿態角度補償。傳統的解決方案是建構機械伺服穩定系統來補償船搖的影響,傳統機械式動作是用「轉動雷達天線」的方式來改變波束指向。此機械伺服系統缺點為系統結構笨重、反應時間長、雷達測量精準度受到機械伺服機構限制。而相列天線是用天線元件直接改變雷達波束指向,不是使用「轉動天線」的方式,因為電子元件的反應速度比機械伺服快得多;而這種不靠天線運動就能改變波束指向的補償方式,稱為「電子式補償技術」。相列雷達採用電子式船體補償機制,在三維空間實現無慣性的精準波束指向。利用船艦既有的電羅經來補償晃動對波束指向的影響,不但可提高整體系統的可靠度及維護度,而且也可獲得良好的補償效果。因此本論文提出一個艦載相列雷達之波束指向誤差估測與補償機制進行模擬與實測。從實驗室模擬與海上實測的結果可知,我們提出的電子式船搖補償技術可以得到高度的誤差補償準確度及更快的反應時間。Wind and waves can influence the search and tracking performance of shipborne phased array radar and result in antenna beam pointing error, which needs to be corrected by performing motion compensation for effective search and tracking. Traditionally, a mechanical stabilized antenna rotating servo system is used to compensate for effects caused by ship motion. However, with the heavy structure and long response time of the system, the radar system was constrained to achieve accurate measurement. Rather than rotating the antenna, the phased array radar modifies beam pointing by using antenna devices. With the implementation of electronic stabilization system in 3D space time, the phased array radar achieves inertia-free beam scanning to compensate for the ship motion. Furthermore, the compasses of a ship already equipped with would compensate for the beam pointing error, that not only enhance the reliability and maintainability but obtain a good compensation effect. This paper presents a beam pointing error compensation mechanism for shipborne phased array radar to conduct simulation and real sea testing. Both simulation and testing results show that the proposed mechanism can obtain a desired beam pointing accuracy and reduce the response time.

    主動相列雷達不同於一般傳統式機械之單一化功能的雷達,它採用快速電子波束掃描和瞬間移向之特性,並且結合具有高速運算能力之計算機,以即時發揮多目標、高涵蓋、多元化之雷達功能,其中雷達資源分配與管理則扮演著關鍵性的角色。尤其當整個雷達系統之負荷趨於飽和狀態下(同時包含多目標偵追、多枚飛彈搜索與追蹤以及上/下鏈和飛彈導引攔截等),雷達資源分配與管理之性能就彰顯其重要性,而一個有效之法則應能於飽和狀態下將資源利用率提升至最大化,亦能兼顧武器系統的需求。本文提出相列雷達資源分配與管理法則,充分發揮其資源使用率,並且有效運用雷達與計算機資源,以達成主動相列雷達之系統需求。Unlike conventional radars being simplified mechanical design and operation, the active phased array radar features electronic beam scanning and instantaneous positioning, combines the ability of high-speed calculation of the computer, and is capable of achieving the multiple targets, high coverage, and diversified functions of the radar. Among them, radar resource allocation and management play a critical role. Especially, their performance matters when the load for the radar system reaches saturated conditions, as simultaneously undergoing multiple target search and tracking, uploading and downloading, missile guidance interception and such other. It is thus suggested that we find effective rules to optimize resource utilization ratio tackling saturation condition and meeting the demand for weapon systems. This paper proposes the rules of the resources allocation and management for phased array radars, which fully represent the resource utilization rates, effectively use radars and computers, and reach system requirements for active phased array radars.

The full array is divided into some regular subarrays which are capable of effectively taking the mutual coupling effects into consideration. Then, the characteristics of the full array can be obtained from the scattering matrix parameters of subarrays. The antenna scan reflection coefficient, scan impedance, and scan element patterns (SEP) for different scan angles are also derived. An experiment was conducted by using the subarray with nineteen array elements to predict the characteristics of the full array with nighty-one elements. The antenna scan reflection coefficient, scan impedance, and scan element pattern for different scan angles were measured and compared with the simulation data. The results showed that the proposed technique can successfully provide a simple and effective method, which consumes less computational resources in less time, to predict the characteristics of the full array based on its subarray.

In recent years, with the technological progress in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, big data, etc., the level of intelligent cluster control has been aggressively advanced. The combat systems applying these new technologies have been developed and deployed on the battlefield. Also, with the maturity of active ESA technology and RF CMOS fabrication processing, the new radar design is trending toward small size, high performance, high reliability, and high expandability. This paper introduces the radar products developed for the mini target detection using ESA technology, which can be categorized into 3 types: passive ESA, active ESA, and digital beamforming (DBF).

    近幾十年來,世界各先進國家與院內的雷達專業單位都爭相發展有關於主動電子掃瞄陣列應用之雷達。在最近十年,也有一些合成孔徑雷達系統的射頻前端使用固態相列元件,利用其電子波束轉向特性,成功地向世人展示其高品質的成像能力,如TerraSAR-X[1]、TanDEM-X[1]、Radarsat-2[2]和CosmoSkymed[3]等。原本要同時達到在主動電子掃瞄陣列雷達成像上有高解析度與寬跨幅需求的挑戰,因為科學家利用新的數位波束成型的合成孔徑雷達概念與系統架構[4],提出基於多接收機通道的概念,克服了這個限制。他們也提出在接收通道加入新自由度設計參數,使效能更加提升[5]。在本文中,我們將介紹幾種應用主動電子掃瞄陣列雷達做合成孔徑雷達成像的例子。In recent decades, companies or organizations in advanced countries with expertise in radar, including NCSIST, have been aggressively developing active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. Even more recently, the RF front end in synthetic aperture radar system is commonly using solid state array devices, being characterized in beam steering of AESA, and has successfully demonstrated its capacity for high quality imaging, such as in TerraSAR-X [1], TanDEM-X [1], Radarsat-2 [2], and CosmoSkymed [3]. Since scientists have applied new digital beamforming technology of synthetic aperture radar concepts and system structures, based on multiple receive channels [4], they can eventually tackle constraints to achieve both high resolution and wide swath for AESA SAR radar imaging. In addition, they presented new degree of freedom design parameters for received channels to boost measurable improvement [5]. In this paper, we will introduce some applications in AESA SAR imaging as well.
