Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of signal processing, and more specifically, to a method and device for processing VHF and UHF navigation signals based on ZYNQ. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve airspace operation efficiency and ensure flight safety, the international civil aviation field has vigorously promoted the development of performance-based navigation (PBN) technology, which emphasizes navigation performance rather than focusing on specific navigation sources. It allows aircraft to obtain the aircraft's latitude and longitude position information with optimal accuracy and integrity using multiple navigation signals within the coverage of the navigation system signal or within the working capability of the onboard navigation equipment, and then fly along any desired path.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, large civil aircraft are equipped with integrated radio navigation equipment for receiving and processing navigation signals such as instrument landing system (ILS), very high frequency omnidirectional beacon (VOR), satellite navigation system (GNSS), satellite landing system (GLS), etc., for aircraft position calculation. ILS calculates the modulation depth difference (DDM) of the 150Hz and 90Hz amplitude modulation signals in the LOC and GS signals respectively to obtain the lateral and vertical deviation indications between the aircraft and the expected approach route; VOR calculates the phase difference between the 30Hz amplitude modulation signal and the frequency modulation signal to obtain the azimuth of the aircraft relative to the ground station; GLS demodulates and decodes the VDB message, extracts the GNSS enhancement information and the expected approach route information, uses the GNSS enhancement information to correct the aircraft's latitude and longitude high position obtained by the GNSS system, and obtains the lateral and vertical deviation indications after comparing it with the expected approach route.

[0004] However, the signal demodulation and processing inside the current airborne navigation equipment is usually implemented through pure analog circuits, or using a partially digital architecture of "FPGA+DSP": based on analog local oscillators and mixers, the RF signal is down-converted to the intermediate frequency, and after the intermediate frequency signal is sampled and digitized, the FPGA chip completes the digital down-conversion from the intermediate frequency to the baseband, and the DSP chip completes the baseband digital signal processing. The advantage of this configuration is that when the function and algorithm need to be upgraded later, only the software residing in the DSP needs to be changed, without changing the hardware logic design. However, there are no problems with leakage, frequency deviation, and the generation of more harmonics and spurious signals of analog local oscillators. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a VHF and UHF navigation signal processing method and device based on ZYNQ, which replaces the "FPGA+DSP" dual-chip architecture of the digital processing part of the traditional aviation navigation signal receiver with a single-chip ZYNQ chip, thereby increasing the system integration, making the design more compact, and the circuit design simpler, which is conducive to the lightweight design of airborne equipment.

[0046] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] The ZYNQ system-on-chip consists of two parts: a programmable logic array (PL) and a processing system (PS). The PL part can be programmed with a hardware description language to generate hardware circuits; the PS part is a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor that can be software programmed; the PL and PS are interconnected through the AXI bus.

[0048] Example 1: A method for processing VHF and UHF navigation signals based on ZYNQ, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0049] (1) The received VHF signals in the 108-118 MHz frequency band and the UHF signals in the 329-335 MHz frequency band are respectively subjected to RF direct sampling to obtain corresponding sampling signals.

[0050] VHF signals include the localizer (LOC) signal of the ILS system, VOR signal and the VHF data broadcast (VDB) signal of the GLS system, and UHF signals include the glide slope (GS) signal of the ILS system. Usually, the VOR function is always on, and the xLS (a general term for ILS and GLS) function is turned on either during the approach or landing phase of the aircraft.

[0051] (2) The received tuning frequency instruction is converted into an NCO frequency word by the PS part of the ZYNQ chip and sent to the digital down-conversion module of the PL part of the ZYNQ chip.

[0052] (3) The VHF and UHF RF signals on the channel corresponding to the tuning frequency command in the sampled signal are down-converted to zero frequency through the digital down-conversion module to obtain the in-phase and quadrature components of the three baseband signals of VOR, VHF-xLS and GS, and VHF-xLS is LOC or VDB.

[0053] (4) The aircraft's azimuth is calculated from the VOR baseband signal through the PS part of the ZYNQ chip, and the xLS function is switched according to the input mode selection command: if it is ILS, the DDM of LOC and GS are calculated from the VHF-xLS and GS baseband signals respectively; if it is GLS, the VHF-xLS baseband signal is demodulated by D8PSK and the VDB message is output.

[0054] In this embodiment, the digital baseband signal processed and output by the PL part is transferred to the PS via direct memory access (DMA).

[0055] In this embodiment, the data interaction between the PS part and the outside is completed through the UART bus, including the input of tuning frequency instructions and mode selection instructions, and the output of navigation measurement data and VDB telegrams. Since the input of tuning frequency and mode selection is random and bursty, the interrupt controller of the UART bus on the PS side of the ZYNQ chip is used to process it. The main program of the PS part is baseband signal processing, and navigation data is continuously output; when the tuning frequency or mode selection is input to the PS side through the UART bus, the interrupt service is started to run the NCO frequency word calculation program or the mode switching program, and the calculated NCO frequency word is transmitted to the digital down-conversion module of the PL part through the AXI general input and output interface (GPIO), or the working mode is switched.

[0056] The analog-to-digital conversion chip (ADC) directly samples the RF signal. According to the bandpass sampling theorem, when the signal spectrum is limited to (f L ,f H ) within 1 second, Sampling it will not cause spectrum aliasing, where m is a In this example, m = 3, f s The value should be as close as possible to This allows the sampled digital signal spectrum to be located near the center of the first Nyquist zone, thereby reducing the design requirements of the front-end analog frequency selection filter and leaving more transition band margin. LTake 108MHz, f H Choose 118MHz, so that only one analog and sampling circuit can be used to receive the VOR signal and the xLS VHF signal at the same time.

[0057] The present invention can generate multi-channel sampling clocks through a mixed mode clock manager / phase locked loop (MMCM / PLL), and output the clocks to an ADC for sampling UHF and VHF radio frequency signals.

[0058] Considering that the symbol rate of GLS-VDB transmission is 10.5ksps, in order to facilitate the symbol timing and synchronization of D8PSK digital demodulation, the sampling rate of the VHF RF signal is set to an integer multiple of 10.5kHz.

[0059] In order to facilitate the spectrum analysis of the 90Hz and 150Hz modulation waves in the UHF signal using discrete Fourier transform (DFT), the sampling rate of the UHF RF signal is set to 2 K ×M×5 Hz, K and M are both integers. In this example, the VHF sampling rate is set to fsv=84 MHz, and the UHF sampling rate is set to fsu=256 MHz.

[0060] The sampled carrier frequency f c The corresponding digital angular frequency is The numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) outputs the same phase branch I [n] = sin(w c n) and output s to the orthogonal branch Q [n] = cos(w c n), and mix them with the sampling signal respectively, so that the carrier frequency is f c The digital RF signal is down-converted to zero.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the digital down-conversion module has three digital down-conversion channels, namely, VOR, VHF-xLS and UHF-GS. The VOR and VHF-xLS channels are homologous and isomorphic, that is, they process the VHF digital RF signal at the same time and use the same digital down-conversion structure.

[0062] For the I / Q channels, a comb integrator cascade filter (CIC) is used to filter out the frequency multiplication components during mixing, and the baseband signal is downsampled at the same time. In this example, the VHF first in-phase signal and the quadrature signal are downsampled by 50 times, and the UHF first in-phase signal and the quadrature signal are downsampled by 625 times.

[0063] Subsequently, the I / Q signals of the VOR and VHF-xLS channels are first downsampled by a three-stage half-band filter (HB), and then by a frequency-selective finite impulse response filter (FIR), and finally output a baseband signal with a symbol rate suitable for efficient operation of the PS. The frequency-selective FIR suppresses adjacent frequency (fc±50kHz) interference, which can be achieved through a low-complexity multi-phase filtering structure, and the baseband signal is downsampled by a D factor. The passband cutoff frequency of the frequency-selective FIR is not less than 10440Hz, and the stopband start frequency is not higher than The minimum value of the two, f FIR is the sampling rate of the frequency-selective FIR. In this example, the frequency-selective FIR performs 5-fold downsampling, the stopband start frequency is 21kHz, and the final output symbol rate is a baseband signal of 42kHz.

[0064] The I / Q signals of the UHF-GS channel first pass through the frequency selection FIR, then pass through three-stage HB for downsampling, and finally output the baseband signal with a symbol rate suitable for PS to perform efficient operations. The frequency selection FIR suppresses the adjacent frequency (fc±150kHz) interference, which can be achieved through a low-complexity multi-phase filter structure, and then downsamples the baseband signal by a D factor. The passband cutoff frequency of the frequency selection FIR is not less than 1020Hz, and the stopband start frequency is not higher than The minimum value of the two, f FIR is the sampling rate of the frequency-selective FIR. In this example, the frequency-selective FIR performs 5-fold downsampling, the stopband start frequency is 40.96kHz, and the final output symbol rate is a baseband signal of 10.24kHz.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the mode frequency frame input through UART contains the working mode control field and the tuning frequency field. The mode control field has the VOR mode control word and the xLS mode control word. The VOR mode control word controls the on and off of the VOR function, and the xLS mode control word controls the landing guidance function to switch between the three functional states of off, ILS and GLS. The main program of the PS part is the baseband signal processing. After completing the initialization of the AXI GPIO driver, AXIDMA driver, UART driver and UART interrupt controller, it starts to continuously load the digital baseband signal from the DMA, and then performs the following processing (main program):

[0066] First read the mode control register;

[0067] Then determine the VOR mode. If it is on, the aircraft's azimuth is calculated from the VOR baseband signal. If it is off, the VOR baseband signal is not processed and is skipped.

[0068] Then determine the xLS mode: in the off state (such as when the aircraft is cruising at high altitude, not approaching or landing), the VHF-xLS and GS baseband signals are not processed and are skipped; if it is ILS, the DDM of LOC and GS are calculated from the VHF-xLS and GS baseband signals respectively; if it is GLS, the VHF-xLS baseband signal is D8PSK demodulated and the VDB message is output.

[0069] After the UART interrupt program is configured, it can run independently of the main program and at the same time. The working mode of the UART interrupt controller is: when a mode frequency frame containing the mode control field and the tuning frequency field is input to the PS via the UART port, an interrupt is triggered, and the interrupt program is called until it is executed and then jumps out to continue executing the main program.

[0070] After the interrupt procedure is triggered, the mode control register is first updated according to the mode control field, and then the NCO frequency word is calculated according to the tuning frequency and sent to the PL through the AXI GPIO. The NCO frequency word is The nearest integer is f c is the carrier frequency of the VOR signal, f s is the ADC sampling rate, and N is the NCO frequency word width.

[0071] Embodiment 2: A VHF and UHF navigation signal processing device based on ZYNQ, the device is used to implement the VHF and UHF navigation signal processing method based on ZYNQ as described in Embodiment 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a signal sampling module, an NCO conversion module, a digital down-conversion module and a baseband signal processing module.

[0072] Among them, the signal sampling module is used to directly sample the received VHF signal and UHF signal respectively to obtain the corresponding sampling signal, the VHF signal includes VOR, LOC and VDB baseband signals, and the UHF signal includes GS baseband signal; the NCO conversion module is used to convert the received tuning frequency instruction into NCO frequency word through the PS part of the ZYNQ chip, and send it to the digital down-conversion module of the PL part of the ZYNQ chip; the digital down-conversion module is used to convert the VHF and UHF radio frequency signals on the channel corresponding to the tuning frequency instruction in the sampling signal Down-convert to zero frequency to obtain the in-phase and quadrature components of the three baseband signals of VOR, VHF-xLS and GS, and VHF-xLS is LOC or VDB; the baseband signal processing module is used to calculate the aircraft's azimuth from the VOR baseband signal through the PS part in the ZYNQ chip, and switch the xLS function according to the input mode selection instruction: if it is ILS, the DDM of LOC and GS are calculated from the VHF-xLS and GS baseband signals respectively; if it is GLS, the VHF-xLS baseband signal is demodulated by D8PSK to output the VDB telegram.

[0073] Working principle: The present invention replaces the "FPGA+DSP" dual-chip architecture of the digital processing part of the traditional aviation navigation signal receiver with a single-chip ZYNQ chip, which increases the system integration, makes the design more compact, and the circuit design simpler, which is conducive to the lightweight design of airborne equipment; in addition, with the help of the powerful processing performance of the PL part of the ZYNQ chip and the rapidly developing high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip (ADC), the reception of VHF and UHF navigation signals can be achieved through RF direct sampling technology, and the analog down-conversion can be fully digitized.
