Influence of Mismatch of Parameters of Quadrature Channels on the Work of the Adaptive Selection System for Moving Targets

Abstract

Introduction. The paper considers the operation of an adaptive selection system for moving targets, represented by a one-time multi-period subtractor. The system of selection of moving targets is made in the form of two quadrature channels, in which high-frequency input radio signals are converted to video frequency. Goal. Investigation of the system of selection of moving targets in the conditions of amplitude and phase misalignment of quadrature channels. Aim. The study of the operation of the moving targets selection system in the conditions of amplitude and phase mismatches of quadrature channels. Materials and methods. The method of complex variable is used, in which the input and output signals of the adaptive selection system for moving targets are represented as a pair of complex-conjugate components. Results. An expression is obtained for the frequency transfer function of an adaptive passive noise suppression system with a variable cut-off zone relative to the average frequency of the spectrum of interference signals. The influence of almost unavoidable amplitude and phase mismatches in the characteristics of quadrature channels is studied. Expressions are obtained for the dispersion of output noise signals of the considered system of moving targets with amplitude and phase misalignment of quadrature channels. Analytical relations for the coefficients of passive interference suppression are presented. The dependences of the jamming signal suppression coefficients were calculated and constructed depending on the deviation of the transmission coefficients of quadrature channels and the phase misalignment of the reference voltages for different values of the average frequency of the passive noise spectrum. Conclusion. The essential dependence of the jamming signal suppression coefficient on their average frequency, as well as amplitude and phase misalignments of quadrature channels is shown. The proposed research method allows us to evaluate the effect of misalignment of quadrature channels on the operation of a moving target selection system using high-order cutting filters.
