Multi-gateway beam hopping synchronization method and system for high-throughput satellite

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-gateway beam hopping synchronization method and system for a high-throughput satellite. The method comprises firstly, a ground gateway group mainly comprises a network control center, a master gateway and a plurality of slave gateways, and each gateway generates a service signal and a synchronous control signal; then, a forward link transponder in a beam hopping satellite load separates the service signal and the control signal sent by each gateway, wherein the service signal is sent to a rear-end power amplification link, and the synchronous control signal is sent to a beam hopping controller for processing; and the hopping beam controller performs analysis and time comparison on the synchronous control signals of the plurality of gateways, extracts time errors between the slave gateways and the master gateway, and controls a switch link at the rear end of the hopping beam according to an analyzed hopping beam control instruction. The method is simple in beam hopping synchronization process, short in synchronization time and simple and reliable in on-satellite processing, and does not depend on a specific service communication system.
