A Method for Estimating the Changes in the Directions of the Main Maxima of the Directional Pattern of a Multibeam Antenna in the Problem of Passive Direction Finding

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We propose a method for calculating the displacements of the main maxima of the directional-pattern beams of a reflectory multibeam antenna, which are related to the reflector deformation, and estimate its accuracy. To describe the deformation, we use the model of the displaced and rotated reflector of a perfect calculated form, which agrees with the form of the deformed reflector in the sense of the minimum of the root-mean-square error. The numerical experiment for an offset parabolic antenna with a diameter of 10 m, a focal distance of 7 m, and an adjustment frequency of 800 MHz of the receiving elements is performed. The numerical-experiment results show that the proposed method allows one to perform direction finding using the signals with a smaller signal-to-noise ratio.
