Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of engineering communication technology, and more specifically, to a high-precision clock signal forwarding system device based on optical fiber. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the continuous high-speed development of the national economy, the era of automation, digitization, and networking in all walks of life has arrived. Processors and network devices provide a better platform for data exchange, analysis, and application among various control information systems. However, at the same time, the good cooperation of each platform requires precise control of the respective timings of each sub-component in the system. In practical applications, people mainly rely on the timing information provided by GPS / Beidou satellites for time synchronization. In traditional cable GPS / Beidou signal forwarding systems, the devices adopt the GPS / Beidou signal transmission, GPS / Beidou chip parsing, and forwarding mode. Since the transmission speeds of GPS / Beidou signals of different GPS / Beidou satellites in the GPS / Beidou antenna are the same, the GPS / Beidou chip can ignore the signal error brought by the transmission cable of the GPS / Beidou antenna during parsing;

[0003] However, with the vigorous development of China's infrastructure construction, the application environments of many automation platforms have changed greatly, and many scenarios where GPS / Beidou satellite signals cannot be directly received and applied have emerged, such as long railway tunnels, underground buildings, underwater buildings, etc. In the past, we often directly installed the GPS / Beidou antenna in the outdoor environment not far from the application scenario, and then connected the electrical signal received by the GPS / Beidou antenna to the terminal in the application scenario using coaxial cables. However, the transmission attenuation of coaxial cables can only maintain the signal transmission stability for about 50 meters at most. Even if facilities such as amplifiers are added in the middle of the coaxial cable, the signal transmission stability can only be maintained for about 200 meters at most. The signal transmission stability of about 200 meters can no longer meet the application scenarios of long railway and highway tunnels. At the same time, as the transmission distance lengthens, GPS / Beidou satellite signals can no longer be directly transmitted through cables. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a GPS / Beidou satellite clock signal forwarding device with a longer signal transmission distance. Summary of the Invention

[0047] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the description and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes steps or units not listed, or optionally further includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0049] In scenarios where GPS / Beidou satellite signals cannot be directly received and applied, such as long railway tunnels, underground buildings, underwater buildings, etc., traditional communication means cannot avoid problems such as unstable signal transmission caused by excessive distance and large clock signal errors in forwarding.

[0050] The inventors of this application have found through research that the GPS / Beidou antenna is directly installed in an outdoor environment not far from the application scenario, and then the electrical signals received by the GPS / Beidou antenna are connected to the terminal in the application scenario through a coaxial cable. However, the transmission attenuation of the coaxial cable can only maintain the signal transmission stability of about 50 meters at most. Even if facilities such as amplifiers are added in the middle of the coaxial cable, the signal transmission stability can only be maintained at about 200 meters at most. The signal transmission stability of about 200 meters can no longer meet the application scenarios of long railway and highway tunnels. In addition, if the GPS / Beidou information is digitized and directly applied for optical data transmission, the clock chip is obtained by locally applying the GPS / Beidou chip, and the clock information is directly digitized and transmitted to the lower-level terminal, then the time delay of optical fiber transmission is ignored, and the application accuracy is in milliseconds, which is only applicable to occasions with low application accuracy.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, a high-precision clock signal forwarding system device proposed in this solution proposes a complete technical solution by discovering the essence of the above problems. Specifically, the high-precision clock signal forwarding system of this solution includes a GPS / Beidou satellite signal receiving antenna, a timing signal forwarding device, an optical signal transmission device, and a timing signal receiving and analyzing device.

[0052] The GPS / Beidou satellite signal receiving antenna is used to receive GPS / Beidou clock information and send it to the timing signal forwarding device; the timing signal forwarding device is used to analyze the GPS / Beidou clock information input from the GPS / Beidou satellite signal receiving antenna to generate a clock signal and a pulse signal, and then convert them into optical signals and send them to the optical signal transmission device according to different rules; the optical fiber communication system is used to receive the optical signal and send it to the timing signal receiving and analyzing device; the timing signal receiving and analyzing device is used to restore the received optical signal to generate a clock signal and a pulse signal, and perform calibration to generate accurate clock information and send it to the terminal.

[0053] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the timing signal forwarding device includes a forwarding central processor, a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, and a GPS / Beidou chip. The GPS / Beidou chip obtains GPS / Beidou clock information and sends it to the forwarding central processor; among them, the GPS / Beidou chip receives the clock message regularly transmitted by the GPS / Beidou satellite, and then corrects the clock message transmitted by the GPS / Beidou satellite by applying the delay difference caused by the different transmission distances of different satellites to obtain accurate GPS / Beidou clock information. Correcting the clock message transmitted by the GPS satellite belongs to the basic principle of GPS / Beidou timing and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] Preferably, an FPGA is used as the forwarding central processor. The FPGA obtains clock data by receiving and processing GPS / Beidou clock information, and converts the time data into an optical signal and sends it to the optical signal transmission device; as Figure 3 shown, preferably, the forwarding central processor includes a signal receiving and processing module and a digital-optical conversion module; the signal receiving and processing module receives the GPS / Beidou clock information, analyzes and generates a square wave pulse and a time signal, and sends the square wave pulse and the time signal to the digital-optical conversion module by using different sending strategies; the digital-optical conversion module receives the square wave pulse and the time signal, and converts them into optical signals respectively and sends them to the optical fiber through an optical interface.

[0055] Preferably, the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator receives the indication signal from the forwarding central processor, calculates the crystal oscillator data and sends it to the forwarding central processor; specifically, when the forwarding central processor generates a square wave pulse, it sends a counting signal to the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, and the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator starts to record the crystal oscillator information.

[0056] Square wave pulse signal forwarding rule: The forwarding signal receiving and processing module obtains the total crystal oscillator count by sending indication information to the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator at the rising edge of the waveform period of the square wave pulse f; as Figure 5As shown, for example, it can be to obtain the total number of crystal oscillator counts CNT0 of the first square wave pulse period and the total number of crystal oscillator counts CNT1 of the second square wave pulse period, and calculate and generate the current clock information T1. Specifically, the clock information forwarding rule is: T1 = CNT1 / CNT0, where this is the accuracy below seconds; the forwarding signal receiving and processing module sends the obtained total number of crystal oscillator counts CNT1 of the second period and the current clock information T1 to the digital optoelectronic conversion module as pseudo time signals respectively.

[0057] The digital optoelectronic conversion module receives the total number of crystal oscillator counts CNT1 of the second period and the current clock information T1, converts them into optical signals and sends them to the optical fiber. Of course, other optical signal forwarding devices can also be used, which are not limited in this solution.

[0058] In addition, after the signal receiving and processing module receives the reply signal sent by the timing signal receiving and analyzing device after receiving the current time signal, it obtains the total number of crystal oscillator counts of the second period of the second crystal oscillator by sending indication information to the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, and sends it to the timing signal receiving and analyzing device.

[0059] The timing signal receiving and analyzing device receives the optical signal sent by the optical fiber; specifically, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the timing signal receiving and analyzing device includes a reduction central processor and a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator.

[0060] Preferably, an FPGA is used as the reduction central processor to restore the received optical signal to clock information, calibrate the received clock information, and the clock information includes square wave pulses and time signals, and forge the clock information in the GPS mode and transmit it to the device.

[0061] Preferably, the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator receives the indication signal from the reduction central processor, calculates the crystal oscillator data and sends it to the reduction central processor, and the start time for calculating the clock information is when the reduction central processor generates a square wave pulse.

[0062] As Figure 6 shown, preferably, the reduction central processor includes a digital optoelectronic conversion module, a square wave pulse receiving and restoring module, a square wave pulse correction module, a time signal restoring module, and a time signal correction module; among them,

[0063] The digital optoelectronic conversion module receives the optical signal sent by the optical signal transmission device and converts it into clock information, and the clock information includes crystal oscillator information and time signals; the digital optoelectronic conversion module sends the clock signal to the square wave pulse receiving and restoring module and the time signal restoring module.

[0064] Preferably, for the restoration of the square wave pulse signal: when the square wave pulse receiving and restoring module obtains the clock signal, it generates a square wave pulse and obtains the total number of oscillator counts from the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator at the rising edge of the waveform period of the square wave pulse f and sends it to the square wave pulse correction module; for example, as Figure 5 shown, when it obtains the total number of first oscillator counts CNT1 in the second period, it generates a square wave pulse and starts counting through the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator. When generating the square wave pulse in the next period, it obtains the total number of first oscillator counts CNT2 in the third period through the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, resets the count of the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator at the same time, and sends the total number of first oscillator counts CNT1 in the second period and the total number of first oscillator counts CNT2 in the third period to the square wave pulse correction module.

[0065] Preferably, the square wave pulse correction module obtains the first oscillator count information of adjacent square wave pulse periods to real-time verify and correct the square wave pulse interval.

[0066] Preferably, for the restoration of the time signal: after calibrating the communication delay through the time correction module, the real clock signal is sent to the terminal. The time signal restoration module obtains the clock signal and records the oscillator information of the clock signal and sends it to the time signal correction module; for example, when the time signal restoration module receives the current clock information, it sends a reply message to the time service signal forwarding device and starts counting through the temperature-compensated crystal magnet. When the second oscillator count CNT12 in the third period meets the predetermined condition, it obtains the total number of the second oscillator counts CNT12 in the third period and sends the clock information of the next second with the current time information plus one to the terminal.

[0067] Specifically, as an embodiment, the predetermined condition is (CNT11 / CNT1)*3 / 2 + CNT12 / CNT2 = 1,

[0068] wherein, CNT1 is the total number of first oscillator counts in the second period; CNT11 is the second oscillator count in the second period; CNT2 is the total number of first oscillator counts in the third period; CNT11 is the second oscillator count in the third period.

[0069] Preferably, the time signal correction module obtains the oscillator information of the clock signal to real-time verify the transmitted time information.

[0070] Through the above method, after digitizing the GPS / Beidou information and dividing it into a clock signal and a pulse signal and converting them into an optical signal, by setting different rules for transmission, combined with counting such as time service, time alignment, clock verification, and clock restoration, it realizes the precise forwarding of GPS / Beidou clock information, with an application accuracy reaching the nanosecond level, and combined with the optical signal forwarding device, it further completes the forwarding of GPS / Beidou satellite clock signals with high precision and long transmission distance.
