Vehicle-Mounted and Ship-Mounted Dynamic Tracking Antenna-The First Domestic Set
In the realm of telemetry, precision is paramount. SMARTNOBLE's Mounted Dynamic Tracking Antenna, also known as the "Ka-band Offset Multi-Beam Fully Mobile Station," represents a leap forward in tracking technology. At its core, it boasts a 3.8-meter Ka-band feed multi-beam parabolic antenna with foldable surfaces. This ingenious design allows the entire antenna to be stowed inside a cabin for seamless transportation and relocation, ensuring readiness wherever it's needed.
The innovation doesn't stop there. This antenna incorporates a corrugated horn for the central feed, enhancing the antenna's primary channel performance. Surrounding this central feed is a dense array of 22×22 multi-beam square horns, achieving an impressive 5°×5° off-axis beam coverage. This wide coverage is essential for tracking and angle measurement of telemetry signals, particularly for domestic DD (Dongfeng) and launch rocket tests on sea-based and land-based mobile platforms, commonly referred to as "dynamic tracking."
What sets this antenna apart is its unique versatility. It marks the first set of shipborne tracking antennas developed by our institute and also stands as the first set of common tracking antennas suitable for both sea-based and land-based mobile carriers in China. It represents a significant milestone in the evolution of tracking technology.
Yet, with innovation comes challenges. The Mounted Dynamic Tracking Antenna was designed to address rapid captures of high dynamics and narrow beams, even when tracking high-speed targets moving at speeds up to 15 times the speed of sound. It also excels in tracking highly dynamic targets with compensation for lag, particularly in the Ka-band and beyond.
Vibration isolation is another critical aspect, effectively countering ship roll and vehicle sway, achieving a ship roll isolation degree of ≥50dB. Finally, high-precision calibration for angle measurement ensures that the antenna's performance is top-notch, with σA, σE ≤0.015° and △A, △E ≤0.016°.
The Mounted Dynamic Tracking Antenna redefines what's possible in telemetry, offering a versatile, precise, and adaptable solution for even the most challenging tracking scenarios. Explore how this innovation is revolutionizing high-precision telemetry and paving the way for future advancements in tracking technology.
