Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aerospace telemetry and control equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a method and device for avoiding interference periods under dual-target tracking conditions. Background Technology

[0002] The telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) terminal equipment (hereinafter referred to as terminal equipment) onboard spacecraft establishes a TT&C communication link with TT&C equipment (relay satellites or ground stations) at a specific operating frequency. Normally, the spatial relationships between different spacecraft are relatively safe, and their respective terminal equipment uses different operating frequencies, generally preventing signal interference. However, with the increasing number of spacecraft and the growing scarcity of radio frequency resources, many spacecraft are operating at very similar or even identical frequencies. If they fall within the beam angle range of the same TT&C equipment, signal interference will occur. Therefore, the TT&C department needs to accurately detect whether two spacecraft are within the beam angle range of the same equipment to provide a basis for further judgment on whether signal interference will occur.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the beam angle of the telemetry and control equipment is α. When the telemetry and control equipment performs the telemetry and control task for spacecraft A, the antenna is pointed at spacecraft A. If spacecraft B enters the beam angle range, signal interference may occur if the operating frequencies of the two are similar or even the same. At this time, measures must be taken, such as turning off the transponder of one of the spacecraft, or staggering the operating frequencies, etc.

[0004] In practical engineering, signal interference typically occurs when two spacecraft enter the beam angle range of the same telemetry and control equipment, such as... Figure 2 The ground stations shown track spacecraft in orbit, such as Figure 3 The relay satellite shown tracks the spacecraft in orbit.

[0005] In summary, in engineering terms, regardless of whether a spacecraft is in orbit or undergoing ground testing, and whether the telemetry and control mission is performed by a ground station or a relay satellite, signal interference may occur when any two spacecraft are within the beam angle range of the same telemetry and control equipment.

[0006] In addition, during the factory testing phase, when the spacecraft under test (DUT) establishes a telemetry and control communication channel with the telemetry and control equipment for two-way data transmission and reception tests, signal interference may occur between the on-orbit spacecraft and the DUT under certain circumstances. Specifically, when the DUT establishes a telemetry and control communication channel with the ground station via wired communication, there will be no signal interference between the DUT and the on-orbit spacecraft. However, when establishing a telemetry and control communication channel with a relay satellite, both the DUT and the on-orbit spacecraft establish a wireless connection. When both the on-orbit spacecraft and the DUT are within the beam angle range of the relay satellite, signals on the same frequency band may interfere with each other, such as… Figure 4 As shown.

[0069] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] The telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) arc, or simply arc, refers to the time range during which a spacecraft can be observed by TT&C equipment (relay satellites or ground stations) while it is in orbit (hereinafter referred to as an on-orbit spacecraft). Additionally, spacecraft undergoing factory testing (hereinafter referred to as test-and-control spacecraft) need to be connected to TT&C communication channels for testing. The difference is that the test-and-control spacecraft is connected to the ground station via a wired connection, unaffected by time; while when connected to a relay satellite, the test-and-control spacecraft, due to its movement with the Earth, is essentially in orbit, and the method used for on-orbit spacecraft must be referenced to calculate the time range during which the relay satellite can observe it, also known as the TT&C arc.

[0071] Beam angle: such as Figure 6 As shown, the beam angle is the angle from the extension of the sensor's central axis outwards to the point where the energy intensity is reduced by half (3dB).

[0072] In response to the problems in the background technology, in the early stages when the number of spacecraft was small, the usual approach was to take measures such as turning off the transponder and switching the operating frequency after signal interference occurred.

[0073] As the number of spacecraft increases, the frequency of signal interference also gradually increases. We can no longer passively wait for signal interference to occur before taking action. Therefore, we have adopted the method of manually estimating the relative distance between two spacecraft to roughly determine whether they will cause signal interference, and adjust the operating frequency in advance or deploy new telemetry and control equipment to participate in the telemetry and control.

[0074] During ground testing of spacecraft, test personnel typically analyze all relay tracking and control (TT&C) segments for the spacecraft under test and select idle time slots on relay satellites without on-orbit spacecraft TT&C missions to conduct ground testing. If idle time slots on relay satellites cannot be found, test personnel need to estimate the spatial relationship between the on-orbit spacecraft, the spacecraft under test, and the relay satellites, mark the potentially impactful time slots, and, based on the mission priorities of both parties, coordinate through mechanisms to have one party relinquish its TT&C segment or negotiate the use of different frequency bands.

[0075] Existing solutions use manual interpretation, such as Figure 5 As shown, roughly judging the possibility of signal interference based on the distance between spacecraft has the following drawbacks:

[0076] (1) The existing solution relies entirely on the engineering experience and personal ability of the operators, which is slow and usually requires multiple people to compare and verify, resulting in extremely low efficiency.

[0077] (2) The existing scheme is difficult to operate, especially when the ground station is performing the telemetry and control mission. From the moment the spacecraft flies out of the horizon to when it flies directly above the ground station, the same distance parameter value cannot be used to make a judgment. The judgment standard must be changed by adjusting the elevation angle of the telemetry and control equipment, which increases the difficulty of actual operation and brings great uncertainty to the judgment result.

[0078] (3) The existing solution can only adapt to the work mode of following the project nodes and implementing according to the plan. The emergency response speed is slow. Once there is a temporary adjustment or emergency, it cannot respond quickly and cannot meet the needs of emergency response.

[0079] (4) Existing solutions have many limitations, such as requiring the two spacecraft to have roughly the same orbital altitude and the spacecraft not to perform violent orbital maneuvers to change their orbital altitude.

[0080] (5) Existing solutions often misjudge, causing false alarms, triggering unnecessary interference time coordination processes, wasting available measurement and control time periods, incurring additional time costs, and consuming a large amount of human resources.

[0081] (6) Existing solutions often fail to make judgments in advance, fail to coordinate and deal with the situation in advance, and respond passively after signal interference occurs, which affects the normal progress of subsequent engineering tasks.

[0082] To address the above problems, this application provides a method for avoiding interference periods under dual-target tracking conditions, such as... Figure 7 As shown, it includes:

[0083] S701: Calculates the angle between the telemetry and control equipment and the spacecraft in real time based on the acquired position information of the telemetry and control equipment and any two spacecraft.

[0084] S702: Compare the magnitude relationship between the included angle and the preset signal interference threshold.

[0085] S703: Determine the signal interference period based on the magnitude relationship.

[0086] S704: Coordinate between spacecraft based on periods of signal interference.

[0087] In one embodiment, the angle between the telemetry and control equipment and the spacecraft is calculated in real time based on the position information of the telemetry and control equipment and the spacecraft, such as... Figure 8 As shown, it includes:

[0088] S801: Obtain the spatial position of two spacecraft and telemetry and control equipment at the same moment.

[0089] S802: Construct a planar triangle based on the spatial positions of the telemetry and control equipment and the two spacecraft.

[0090] S803: Calculate the included angle of the three elements based on the constructed planar triangle.

[0091] S804: Obtain the set of angle information between the telemetry and control equipment and the two spacecraft over a period of time based on the angle at different times.

[0092] In one specific embodiment, for any two spacecraft and any telemetry and control equipment, the angle between the two spacecraft and the telemetry and control equipment is calculated based on the spatial positional relationship between the three.

[0093] The spatial position of spacecraft and telemetry and control equipment is calculated and provided by specialized software. Typically, the spatial position of the spacecraft at each moment within a certain period is given at fixed intervals of ΔT. This article does not involve the calculation of spatial position; it can be obtained directly when needed.

[0094] Spacecraft and telemetry equipment can both be abstracted as a point in space, and the position of a point in space during a certain period of time can be denoted as P = {P1, P2, ..., P...}. i ,…,P n}, where P i =(t i ,X i ,Y i Z i ) represents the spatial location at a given moment, t i Represents a moment, (X) i ,Y i Z i () represents the coordinates of the point at that moment in the spatial coordinate system, i = 1, 2, ..., n.

[0095] Let R represent the telemetry and control equipment, and A and N represent the two spacecraft respectively. Correspondingly, let P...R P A P B These represent the spatial positions of the three objects within the same time period, respectively:

[0096]

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] like Figure 12 As shown, at t i The three moments at that time form a planar triangle. Let their spatial positions at that moment be:

[0100]

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] like Figure 12 As shown, using basic plane geometry, we calculate the side lengths of triangle ΔRAB and the cosine value of ∠BRA, cosβ, step by step. i Finally, t is obtained using inverse trigonometric functions. i The angle β between the three at any given moment i :

[0104]

[0105]

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] β i =arccosβ i

[0109] Ultimately, a set of angle information between the telemetry and control equipment R and the two spacecraft over a certain period of time is obtained (hereinafter referred to as the telemetry and control equipment angle information).

[0110] J = {J1, ..., J} i ,…,J n},

[0111] Among them, J i =(t i ,β i ) represents t i The angle between the timing test device R and the two spacecraft is β. i, i = 1, 2, ..., n.

[0112] In one embodiment, the relationship between the included angle and a preset signal interference threshold is compared, such as... Figure 9 As shown, it includes:

[0113] S901: Compare each angle in the set of angle information between the telemetry and control equipment and the two spacecraft over a period of time with a preset quotation mark interference threshold.

[0114] S902: If the included angle is less than the signal interference threshold, there is a possibility of signal interference.

[0115] In one specific embodiment, to facilitate software development and engineering implementation, a unified parameter setting method is provided as shown in Table 1 below:

[0116] Table 1 Signal Interference Thresholds for Measurement and Control Equipment

[0117] Equipment 1 <![CDATA[α1]]> Equipment 2 <![CDATA[α2]]> … … Device R <![CDATA[α R ]]> … …

[0118] Each antenna has an optimal operating frequency, also known as its center frequency. Around this center frequency, the antenna has a certain frequency range within which different operating frequencies can be selected. Since the relationship between the antenna's aperture, beam angle, and center frequency is fixed, for any telemetry and control equipment, only a signal interference threshold needs to be set for its center operating frequency. This threshold is taken as the beam angle of the telemetry and control equipment. When the angle between the telemetry and control equipment and two spacecraft is less than the equipment's signal interference threshold—meaning the two spacecraft have entered the beam angle range of the same telemetry and control equipment—signal interference is considered possible.

[0119] In one embodiment, the signal interference period is determined based on the magnitude relationship, such as... Figure 10 As shown, it includes:

[0120] S1001: Obtain the time corresponding to all angles less than the signal interference threshold.

[0121] S1002: Generate a set of signal interference periods based on these times.

[0122] In one specific embodiment, it is assumed that the signal interference threshold of the measurement and control device R is α. R Based on the included angle information J of the measurement and control equipment, the angle is calculated to be less than the threshold α. R The time period can be identified as a period that may cause signal interference.

[0123] like Figure 13As shown, within a certain time period, as the spacecraft's position changes, the angle between the telemetry and control equipment and the two spacecraft also changes. The trend of this angle change is not necessarily monotonic; there may be more than one time period where the angle is less than the signal interference threshold. The process involves iterating through the telemetry and control equipment angle information set J and determining whether the angle value in the information is less than the threshold α. R This yields the set of time periods where signal interference may occur, L = {L1, L2, ..., L...} k ,…,L m}, where L k =(s k e k () represents a period of interference, k = 1, 2, ..., m. Obviously, during this period, the angle between the telemetry and control equipment and the two spacecraft is less than the threshold α. R The specific method is as follows:

[0124] 1) First, select a subset from set J whose included angle is less than a threshold. in, j = 1, 2, ..., p, that is, satisfying the following condition:

[0125]

[0126] JJ here α J α The complement of J, i.e.

[0127]

[0128] 2) Then, based on a fixed duration ΔT (the fixed duration is used when calculating the spatial position of the aforementioned spacecraft and telemetry equipment), the signal interference period is calculated as follows:

[0129] i) Calculate J sequentially α The time interval between two adjacent included angles is obtained as T = {T1, ..., T} j ,…,T p-1},in, j = 1, 2, ..., p-1;

[0130] ii) Using a fixed duration ΔT as a reference, obtain the set of marker numbers N = {N1, ..., N}. c ,…,N m-1}, where N c ∈{1,2,…,p-1}, and c = 1, 2, ..., m-1

[0131] iii) Based on the set of marker numbers N, construct the time periods of signal interference sequentially.

[0132]

[0133] In one embodiment, coordination between spacecraft is performed based on the period of signal interference, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it includes:

[0134] S1101: Determine the period of signal interference and decide whether to initiate the coordination process.

[0135] S1102: If so, spacecraft scheduling is ordered according to the pre-set mission priority level.

[0136] S1103: If the mission priorities are the same, spacecraft scheduling will be carried out according to the preset avoidance strategy.

[0137] In one specific embodiment, in order to coordinate and allocate telemetry and control resources and ensure the smooth implementation of tasks such as spacecraft telemetry and control, on-orbit experiments, and ground testing, it is necessary to reasonably formulate coordination procedures and provide corresponding avoidance strategies in order to avoid interference periods, gradually resolve conflicts, and continuously improve the utilization efficiency of telemetry and control resources.

[0138] 1) Criteria for initiating the coordination process during the interference period

[0139] If the two spacecraft operate on different frequencies, there will be no signal interference, and no coordination process needs to be initiated.

[0140] If two spacecraft use the same operating frequency, there will inevitably be signal interference, requiring a coordination process to take measures to eliminate the interference.

[0141] 2) Differentiate and prioritize measurement and control tasks

[0142] Based on the importance and urgency of different types of tasks, clear task priorities are set as a basis for avoiding interference periods, adjusting telemetry and control resources, and resolving conflicts.

[0143] Table 2 Priority Settings for Measurement and Control Tasks

[0144] Ⅰ Major Emergency Orbit maintenance, etc. Ⅱ Everyday Applications Data transmission, etc. Ⅲ General events Equipment testing, etc.

[0145] As shown in Table 2, three task priorities are set, in descending order as I, II, and III, with the importance decreasing in that order.

[0146] 3) Avoidance strategies under different interference modes

[0147] Depending on the mission priority settings, there are two modes: two spacecraft with different mission priorities and two spacecraft with the same mission priority. Appropriate avoidance strategies need to be adopted to differentiate between these modes, as shown in Table 3.

[0148] Table 3 Signal Interference Avoidance Strategies

[0149]

[0150] • Mode 1: Different task priorities are given, with priority given to ensuring the implementation of higher-level tasks. The avoidance strategy is as follows:

[0151] If spacecraft performing lower-level missions can adjust their operating frequency

[0152] The spacecraft performing the lower-level mission executes Mode 1 Strategy 1. After adjusting the operating frequency, the two spacecraft use different frequencies to operate, avoiding interference, and both share the telemetry and control period.

[0153] If spacecraft performing low-level missions cannot adjust their operating frequency

[0154] The spacecraft performing the lower-level mission executes Strategy 2 of Mode 1, relinquishing the telemetry and control period, which is then exclusively occupied by the higher-level mission.

[0155] • In Mode 2, where tasks have the same priority, the avoidance strategy is as follows:

[0156] If both spacecraft can adjust their operating frequencies

[0157] Then, a human decision is required to select one of the spacecraft to execute mode 2 strategy 1. After adjusting the operating frequency, the two spacecraft will use different frequencies to carry out their work to avoid interference, and both will share the telemetry and control period.

[0158] If only one spacecraft can adjust its operating frequency

[0159] The spacecraft with adjustable operating frequency executes Strategy 2 in Mode 2. After adjusting the operating frequency, the two spacecraft use different frequencies to operate, avoiding interference, and both share the telemetry and control period.

[0160] If neither party can adjust the working frequency

[0161] Then a human decision is required to execute one of the following two branches:

[0162] a) Select one of the spacecraft to execute mode 2 strategy 2, and after giving up the telemetry and control period, the telemetry and control period will be exclusively occupied by another spacecraft.

[0163] b) After consultation between the two spacecraft, strategy 3 of mode 2 is implemented, with both parties dividing the telemetry and control time periods and using different time periods to avoid interference.

[0164] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an interference period avoidance device under dual-target tracking conditions, which can be used to implement the method described in the above embodiments, as shown in the following embodiments. Since the principle of the interference period avoidance device under dual-target tracking conditions is similar to that of the interference period avoidance method under dual-target tracking conditions, the implementation of the interference period avoidance device under dual-target tracking conditions can refer to the implementation of the interference period avoidance method under dual-target tracking conditions, and repeated details will not be elaborated further. As used below, the terms "unit" or "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the system described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
