Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of laser communication, and particularly relates to a laser communication link establishment method based on microwave chain direction finding. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ground laser communication cannot use orbit data as the basis for angle calculation, and can only use navigation data to realize positioning, but has difficulty in orientation, which makes the ground laser communication network unable to quickly orient and position at the initial stage, and realize link establishment. The orientation accuracy of the existing orientation device is generally about 0.5° (1 sigma), which is too large compared with the 0.15-degree field of view of the commonly used laser communication. The cost of the high-precision orientation device can reach more than 500,000 yuan, which is very expensive.

[0003] At present, the ground laser communication orientation generally adopts electronic compass orientation, optical fiber gyro orientation and navigation differential orientation, but these methods have their own shortcomings. The electronic compass needs to be away from magnetic metals such as steel to prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting its orientation, but the laser communication terminal generally needs a servo motor as a driving device, and the electromagnetic interference caused by the servo motor cannot be ignored. The optical fiber gyro can effectively avoid the orientation interference caused by electromagnetic interference, but its cost is very high and is not suitable for civilian use. The navigation differential method can also realize initial orientation, but the baseline of the two antennas needs to have a distance of at least 1 m, and the equipment volume is large. Therefore, the existing laser communication link establishment has the problem of low positioning accuracy. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to solve the problem of low positioning accuracy of the existing laser communication link establishment. A laser communication link establishment method based on microwave chain direction finding is provided, which comprises:

[0005] Step one, setting the scanning parameters of the first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal;

[0006] Step two, the first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal simultaneously emit microwave signals;

[0007] Step three, the first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal perform serpentine scanning to receive the microwave signals; when the first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal both detect the microwave signals,

[0008] The interactive information is contained in the microwave signal code, and the interactive signal is determined after the mutual terminal is determined, and then the coarse alignment is performed;

[0009] The first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal perform coarse alignment processing according to the received microwave signals, and complete the coarse alignment;

[0010] Step four, the first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal after the rough alignment processing are subjected to fine alignment processing, and the first laser communication terminal and the second laser communication terminal after the fine alignment processing establish a laser communication link.

[0011] A computer storage medium, characterized in that the storage medium stores at least one instruction, the at least one instruction is loaded and executed by a processor to realize the microwave chain direction finding guided laser communication link establishment method.

[0012] A microwave chain direction finding guided laser communication link establishment device, characterized in that the device comprises a processor and a memory, and the memory stores at least one instruction, the at least one instruction is loaded and executed by the processor to realize the microwave chain direction finding guided laser communication link establishment method.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0014] By microwave direction finding guidance positioning, the technical problems of long laser communication link establishment time and low success probability are solved, the original initial uncertain angle range is reduced from ±0.5° to ±0.1°, the scanning and capturing time is reduced by more than several tens of times, and it is of great significance for laser communication link establishment between high-speed mobile platforms.
