-- ---------------Optc-Electronic ControlConventional low-performance phased array radar suffers from a variety of shortcomings. In particular phase shift is used to control beam angle and this leads todegradation of the beam shape when frequency is shifted a large amount from thenominal operating frequency. This problem is called beam squint. One way tocorrect the squint problem for very large bandwidths or large changes in operatingfrequency is to use time delay to steer the antenna beam rather than phase shift.Time delay beam steering can be implemented electronically, but the size ofwaveguides and other electronic devices makes the implementation awkward.Optical fibers are very effective in the transmission of very wide bandwidth andtime delay devices, such as the bifodal (a switched, binary tree of fiber optic delaylines), can be used to steer phased array antenna beams. However, there aredrawbacks to optical delay lines, including stability, sensitivity to severeenvironments and production of long delays. Further, improvement can be madeby using optical fibers to transmit microwave signals around the radar, but doingthe time delay (along with waveform generation) by direct digital synthesis at eacharray transmit element.5

------------ ------The HICAPOR StrawmanTo illustrate the HICAPOR concept we construct a strawman design and thencompute the beam formation capability of HICAPOR for a variety of parameters.We also compare the HICAPOR capability with a variety of other options includingconventional phased array radar and true time delay beam steering. In theHICAPOR strawman design optical fiber is used extensively for RF clockdistribution, synchronization, NO data link to computer and computer link towaveform generator. This is illustrated on the following viewgraphs. However,optical fiber/devices are NOT used for beamforming. Instead a electronic digitalO/A is used for both waveform generation and beam formation. This means thatthe waveform timing must be at the 0.1 ns level to accomplish the beam formingfunction. The HICAPOR concept and how it fits into a high capability arrayantenna radar is illustrated in the following viewgraphs.I JASON HICAPOR I7

To decreasephase noise for better Doppler discrimination of low cross section targets, a hightemperature superconducting stable local oscillator (HTSC STALO) is used.Communication of RF and digital signals around the radar is done by fiber optics.This includes the master RF carrier signal for radar transmissions, time synchronization signals as well as the digital information needed by the array modules forbeam formation, waveform generation and other radar functions. The receivedradar echo signal is digitized at the array module level and this information istransmitted by optical fiber to the radar's computer system for receive beamformation, Doppler proceSSing and other data analysis functions.I JASON HICAPOR I9

1- .; ' ,!Array ModuleEach array module contains devices for generation of the radar transmit signal aswell as the AID conversion of the received echo signal. The waveform generatorreceives RF carrier, synchronization and waveform and beam forming instructionsby optical fiber links to the radar computer system. The synchronization pulsebegins each pulse forming process. This generator then manufactures the outputsignal to be transmitted by the particular array module at say 10 GHz. Thisgenerator is the heart of the HICAPOR concept and is described in more detail onthe following viewgraphs. On receive, the received signal is down converted tobaseband and then digitized with 15 bit accuracy at a typical bandwidth of say 10MHz. Although the individual echo signals at each array module are digitized atonly 15 bit accuracy, the aggregate accuracy of the combination of many arraymodule signals in the beamforming process increases the accuracy significantly fora large array. For a large array this increased accuracy by combination can resultin 20 significant bits and a dynamic range of say 120 dB in the Doppler-processedsignal.I JASON HICAPOR I11

- - - - - - - - - - - - -- -, - - :- Waveform GeneratorThe waveform generator is controlled by a digital data stream providing thesuccessive loads to a large shift register (bottom left). This data stream contains theinformation necessary to generate the output waveform, complete in both waveformcharacteristics and location in time so that the desired beam is formed. The uppershift register contains the information for one complete output pulse. Thus, atinstant of time, i.e. each 0.1 ns interval, this upper shift register shifts out eightbinary numbers to control the eight PIN diodes. Throughout the radar pulse thisupper shift register keeps shifting out 8 bit sequences to control the PIN diodes. Fora 100 ns pulse length this would amount to 1000 8-bit sequences. When the pulseis finished the lower shift register loads the upper register with the information for thenext pulse. This can be done at leisure since there is typically about 1 ms betweenpulses. The fact that each 8-bit sequence controls the signal phase allows thebeam to be steered with high efficiency. The effects of changing the size of the shiftregister and the number of PIN diode control points is explored in the viewgraphsthat follow somewhat further on. In this implementation we show how multiple beamcapability is introduced. Namely, a second row of PIN diodes uses the same RFcarrier and phase shifts, but with different 8-bit sequences corresponding to anotherwaveform in a different direction. Each additional beam requires a doubling of thesize of the upper shift register.I JASON HICAPOR I13

------------------Examples for Simple Pulse RadarThis viewgraph illustrates the important differences between the classic phasedarray, the true time delay (TTD) array and the HICAPOR concept. In each case weconsider an individual array module and show what is required to generate thetransmitted signal for some desired antenna beam direction. The classic phasedarray at the top the antenna can be hooked to any of 16 taps on a delay line. Thedelay line taps are such that a phase change of 360 0 is distributed over the 16taps. Thus, the delay line acts like a phase shifter, which is what we want for thiscomparison. The problem for the classic phase array antenna is the squintingproblem, discussed above. In the time delay array case the delay line requiresenough taps to allow each element to select the correct delay. For a 100 elementarray this requirement means that the tapped delay line at each element must havesome 16 x 100 delays. Such a delay line can be implemented using fiber opticcables and optical switches. Schemes, such as the bifodal which switches in or outa number of optical fibers to construct the correct delay, can reduce the complexity.Still the problem is one of complexity as the optical delay lines are long if thechange in time delay is done by changing optical wavelength or many opticalI JASON HICAPOR I21

Examples for Simple Pulse Radar(concluded)switches are required if one changes delay by propagating through a differentphysical set of fibers. The HICAPOR concept uses a 100 stage shift register todigitally control the delay and to digitally control the 16 stage delay line as shown inthe viewgraph. Thus, the HICAPOR system uses optical fibers where they can dothe most good, i.e. in digital and analog signal communication within the radar. Thedigital waveform generator can be made very small and thus fit nicely within anarray module, whereas current optical delay devices would make this fit much moredifficult. We also think that the cost of H ICAPOR modules would be significantlyless than their optical counterparts.I JASON HICAPOR I------------------22

------------------- - - - -SIMULATION OF THE DIGITALBEAM SYNTHESIS SYSTEM23

Digital Beam Synthesis (DBS) DBS is a component of the HICAPOR system thatforms a RADAR transmitted beam. DBS is an invention to greatly reduces cost and sizeof a true-time delay beamformer. DBS separately modulates a carrier for each arrayantenna element at exactly the right time for thatelement. In DBS delay is provided by a digital circuit undercomputer control. A shift register is one example of such a digitalcontrol circuit. One form of DBS employs a vernier scheme such thatthe shift register provides a control character thatselects a desired phase of the RF carrier.I JASON HICAPOR J------------------24

------------------Digital Beam Synthesis (DBS)The DBS invention greatly reduces the cost and size of RADAR systems bymoving the modulation process after the delay process. Thus the delays can bespecified in a simple digital shift register or other digital circuit under computercontrol.I JASON HICAPOR I25

Digital Representation DBS, being digital, employs discrete stepapproximations for the radar signals. If the steps are too gross, error artifacts willappear in the beam pattern. The DBS and six other beam forming systemshave been simulated. Artifacts unique only to DBS can be determinedby comparison to the other systems.I JASON HICAPORI------------------26

------------------Digital RepresentationThe DBS system(as well as other systems) employ discrete approximations forthe RADAR signals. If these are too crude, then undesireable artifacts will appearin the transmitted RADAR beam. By simulating DBS and other systems, thesource of the artifacts can be determined.I JASON HICAPOR I27

Simulation Errors Simulation method: Direct, time-domaintrapezoidal integration of antenna elementsignals. Time-step resolution is an issue:- If too small, simulation cost is too high- If too large, simulation is not accurate. A number of time step sizes were tried. Result: 0.125 nanoseconds was chosen. An example at 0.25 ns is shown to validate thischoice. ------------------- JASON HICAPORI28----------------- -

------------------Simulation ErrorsComputer simulation is employed to study the different beam forming schemesand their parameter settings. To get an accurate simulation the simulation timestep cannot be too big. For the range of parameters of interest, a simulated timestep of 0.125 nanoseconds is the right choice. This will be shown in a later plot.I JASON HICAPOR I29

These are:TCW: True Carrier Wave beam forming.When an RF carrier is modulated, with a pulse for example, the resulting signal has a widerbandwidth than the original carrier. As a result beams formed on a pulsed modulated carrierhave additional artifacts (side-lobes, etc . ) TCW is thus shown so comparisons can be made.DCW: Discrete Carrier Wave beam forming.If the phases of each carrier wave at each antenna element are set in discrete steps, artifactscan appear in the beam. Simulation of the DCW provides a measure of the required number ofdiscrete phases needed for accurate beam forming.PHA: Phased Array. pulsed RADAR beam forming.This is the classic phased array RADAR with continuous setting of each phase at each antennaelement.DPA: Discrete Phased Array beam forming.This is the classic PHA but with discrete settings of each phase angle.I JASON HICAPOR31.I
