The invention belongs to the communication technology field and discloses a
Chirp non-equal error modulation method based on a
plasma sheath channel, and an aircraft. At a
signal emission end of a
system, three different sequences m(t), n(t) and c(t) are generated and are respectively utilized to modulate the slope rate, the carrier frequency and the phase of a
Chirp signal; composite modulation of the
Chirp signal is carried out; the Chirp signal passes through the
plasma sheath channel; after the signal passes through the
plasma sheath channel, a received signal is subjected to fractional order
Fourier transform of the optimal order corresponding to positive and negative slope rates at a receiving end, and data is sampled at the best focusing position corresponding to different carrier frequencies;
demodulation is carried out based on the sampled information to obtain a transmitted message sequence. The method is advantaged in that that important information is transmitted with priority is guaranteed when a
spacecraft passes through the blackout area, moreover, compared with an existing FSK transmission scheme,
demodulation complexity is reduced, and the
bit error rate is furtherreduced.
