[0066] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the clock management module includes: a temperature-controlled crystal oscillator and a frequency synthesizer. The temperature-controlled crystal oscillator is used to provide a high-precision and stable reference clock signal for the frequency synthesizer; the frequency synthesizer is used to adjust the reference clock signal into a sampling clock signal and output a baseband working clock signal at the same time. The clock management module uniformly generates an AD sampling clock signal and a baseband working clock signal for the SoC navigation chip from the reference clock, realizing clock homology.

[0067] The radio frequency module includes: a local oscillator generation module, a mixing module, a low-pass filter, and an AD sampling module. The local oscillator generation module is used to generate a local oscillator signal based on the sampling clock signal; the mixing module is used to mix the GNSS signals, low-orbit satellite signals with the local oscillator signal; the low-pass filter is used to filter out the high-frequency part of the mixed signal and leave the low-frequency analog intermediate frequency signal; the AD sampling module is used to sample the analog intermediate frequency signal under the drive of the sampling clock signal to generate a digital intermediate frequency signal.

[0068] The system-level navigation chip (SoC navigation chip) includes: a baseband processing module and a signal processing module. The baseband processing module includes an acquisition module and a tracking module. The acquisition module is used to acquire GNSS signals and low-orbit satellite signals; the tracking module is used to calculate the pseudorange observables and Doppler observables of the GNSS signals and low-orbit satellite signals, and output the time information and message information of the GNSS signals and low-orbit satellite signals, realizing the tracking of the GNSS signals and low-orbit satellite signals. The signal processing module includes a single-satellite positioning module and a GNSS navigation positioning module.

[0069] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, this embodiment also implements the following environment - adaptive navigation method for low - earth - orbit navigation enhancement by using the above - mentioned device, including:

[0070] S1. Use the GNSS / low - earth - orbit satellite signal receiving antenna to receive GNSS signals and low - earth - orbit satellite signals;

[0071] S2. When the GNSS signal is a strong signal, perform acquisition, tracking, synchronization, decoding, and observable solution of the GNSS signal to achieve the navigation and positioning of the GNSS signal. When the GNSS signal is a weak signal, execute steps S3 - S4;

[0073] S4. Use the processed low - earth - orbit satellite signal to assist the GNSS weak signal for fast acquisition and stable tracking to achieve the navigation and positioning of the GNSS signal.

[0074] When the GNSS signal is strong, the acquisition module first acquires the GNSS signal. After acquiring the GNSS signal, it transfers to the tracking module for tracking. The tracking module outputs observables such as the pseudorange and Doppler of the GNSS satellite, as well as time information and telemetry information to the GNSS navigation and positioning module. Through the above - mentioned normal processes of acquisition, tracking, synchronization, decoding, and positioning, the accurate navigation and positioning of the GNSS signal are achieved. When the GNSS signal is weak, the acquisition module and the tracking module sequentially acquire, track, synchronize, and decode the low - earth - orbit satellite signal. The I channel outputs observables such as the pseudorange and Doppler of the low - earth - orbit satellite signal to the single - satellite positioning module, and at the same time, the Q channel outputs the GNSS navigation message and time information relayed by the low - earth - orbit satellite. The single - satellite positioning module realizes rough positioning and velocity measurement based on observables such as the pseudorange and Doppler of the low - earth - orbit satellite. At this time, only the position and velocity of the low - earth - orbit satellite are roughly positioned. Then, the acquisition module uses the rough position and velocity of the navigation device and the GNSS navigation message and time information relayed by the low - earth - orbit satellite to assist in acquiring the GNSS signal. The tracking module completes the tracking process of the GNSS weak signal through long - time coherent integration of the GNSS signal, performs observable solution, and then outputs the solved observables to the GNSS navigation and positioning module, finally achieving the accurate navigation and positioning of the GNSS signal.

[0075] As Figure 4 shown, the above step S3 specifically includes: S31. Use the radio frequency module to perform low - noise amplification and down - conversion processing on the low - earth - orbit satellite signal and output a digital intermediate - frequency signal;

[0085] S3614. Calculate the rough propagation time T1 according to the pseudorange ρ2, T1 = ρ2 / c;

[0086] S3615. Repeat the iterative steps S3611 - S3614 to obtain the accurate propagation time T2, and combine the reception time T of the navigation device R to obtain the transmission time T S , T S = T R - T2, and obtain the initial code phase according to the transmission time T S ;

[0087] As Figure 6As shown, the process of obtaining GNSS navigation star Doppler information in the above step S36 is as follows: S3621. Obtain the accurate position and velocity of the GNSS navigation star obtained after iteration in the calculation method of the accurate phase of the GNSS navigation star;

[0088] S3622. According to the position and velocity information of the GNSS navigation star and the navigation device, and based on the relative position (d x , d y , d z ) information and the relative velocity (d vx , d vy , d vz ) information of the GNSS navigation star and the navigation device, calculate the rough Doppler D1 of the GNSS satellite, which is:

[0089] λ is the GNSS carrier wavelength;

[0090] S3623. Consider the influence Δd of the clock drift of the navigation device, correct the rough Doppler D1, and calculate the corrected accurate Doppler D2 according to the formula D2 = D1 + Δd.

[0091] The accurate code phase and Doppler of the GNSS navigation star are input to the acquisition module. The frequency searcher of the acquisition module quickly completes frequency locking according to the accurate Doppler shift information. The code correlator of the acquisition module quickly completes the correlation with the local code according to the accurate initial code phase, enables the tracking module, and realizes the fast acquisition and tracking of the GNSS navigation star signal;

[0092] The accurate phase of the GNSS navigation star is input to the acquisition module. The code correlator of the acquisition module performs long-time coherent integration according to the accurate initial code phase and the message information. At the same time, the tracking module also performs long-time coherent integration to realize the acquisition and stable tracking of the weak GNSS navigation star signal;
