Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a method and system for quickly establishing a communication link between a satellite and the ground, and belongs to the technical field of satellite communication. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, some low-orbit satellites and communication terminals communicate by using long codes with a period of several days. Under the premise that the Doppler and code phase of the low-orbit long code signal are unknown, it is difficult for the low-orbit satellite and the communication terminal to establish a connection. However, the code phase of the low-orbit long code signal needs to calculate the propagation delay between the two. Currently, the propagation delay is calculated by knowing the low-orbit satellite system time, combining the low-orbit satellite ephemeris and the terminal position, and then calculating the propagation delay. In addition, the Doppler compensation needs to know the clock drift of the communication terminal. Currently, the common means for obtaining the low-orbit navigation system time and the clock drift can be to receive satellite navigation signals and position them. This method requires the communication terminal to have the ability to receive satellite navigation signals and position them, and after obtaining the satellite navigation system time, the satellite navigation system time is converted into the low-orbit satellite system time. Or the communication terminal has the ability to be time-granted and time-kept, but it is still unable to obtain the clock drift of the communication terminal. This leads to a complex design of the communication terminal, which needs to have additional navigation and positioning capabilities. SUMMARY

[0039] The period of time is 1-2τ.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0041] (1) The method for obtaining the current satellite navigation system time is simple. The method provided by the present application can obtain the low-orbit satellite system time at the current frame header time from the received downlink signal, and calculate the next whole second transmission time of the low-orbit satellite system. The time error is only the propagation time delay of the low-orbit satellite. The Doppler and code phase precision requirements of the low-orbit satellite dynamic are fully met.
[0042] (2) The method for calculating the Doppler is simple without the need of obtaining the clock drift of the communication terminal. Since the communication terminal uses an atomic clock, the clock drift error of the payload and the communication terminal is less than the compensation precision requirement of the uplink signal Doppler, and can be ignored. Only the Doppler obtained through the downlink signal tracking is needed to calculate the compensation Doppler. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0043] Figure 1 The method flowchart of the embodiment of the present application is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] The specific embodiment of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] The satellite payload requires the precision of the Doppler and code phase of the low-orbit long code signal, and the communication terminal needs to accurately compensate the Doppler and code phase of the uplink transmission signal.
[0046] The present application does not require the communication terminal to have the navigation and timing capability, and does not need to provide the positioning clock drift. The low-orbit satellite system time at the current frame header time is obtained from the downlink signal, and the propagation time delay is ignored. The transmission time of the next whole second is obtained, which is used to calculate the propagation time delay. The relationship between the Doppler of the broadcast downlink signal and the Doppler of the communication uplink signal is utilized, and the small clock drift of the atomic clock is combined to realize the compensation of the Doppler and code phase of the uplink transmission signal. The method is simple and the precision meets the compensation requirement.
[0047] The core idea of the application is to obtain the low-orbit satellite system time at the current frame header moment from the broadcast downlink signal, and the time plus one is the low-orbit satellite system transmission moment of the next whole second, but there is a propagation delay error, as long as the error meets the time service accuracy and the time when the communication terminal receives the pseudo-random code phase in advance of the next whole second is far greater than 10 ms.
[0048] Due to the low orbit height of the low-orbit satellite, the propagation delay is in the order of milliseconds, so the error between the frame header moment when the communication terminal receives the broadcast downlink signal and the low-orbit satellite whole second moment is in the order of milliseconds. The acceleration of the low-orbit satellite is about 400 Hz / s at most, and the pseudo-range change rate is about 6000 m / s at most. The propagation delay is not more than 10 ms at most. Then the pseudo-range change within 10 ms is not more than 60 m / s. The 60 m error meets the phase accuracy requirement of the transmission compensation; in addition, the communication terminal will receive the pseudo-random code phase in advance of the next whole second, and the advance time is far greater than 10 ms. Therefore, even if there is a propagation delay, the next whole second moment obtained from the broadcast downlink signal can be used as the uplink signal transmission moment, and the time service accuracy can be accepted.
[0049] As for the Doppler compensation, since the terminal uses an atomic clock, the clock drift can be ignored, and only the communication uplink signal Doppler needs to be calculated according to the broadcast downlink signal Doppler at the transmission moment.

[0073] In the formula, t2, t1, and Δt respectively represent the next whole-second low-orbit satellite system time, the low-orbit satellite system time corresponding to the current frame header time, and the propagation delay error.
[0074] According to the dynamic characteristics of the low-orbit satellite, the code phase error influence caused by the propagation delay error Δt can be ignored, so the next whole-second time t2 of the low-orbit satellite is:

Since the communication terminal uses an atomic clock and the payload clock drift is also small, its error is less than the compensation accuracy requirement of the uplink signal Doppler, so f R and f SV can be ignored, so when the communication terminal uses an atomic clock, the communication uplink signal Doppler f dop is:
[0085] f dop =-k×f track
[0086] wherein k is the communication uplink signal carrier nominal frequency / broadcast downlink signal carrier nominal frequency; f track is the broadcast downlink signal tracking Doppler corresponding to the communication uplink signal transmission time.

[0089] This embodiment provides a system for rapidly establishing a communication link between satellite and ground, the system including a low-Earth orbit satellite and a communication terminal;
[0090] A low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite transmits a broadcast downlink signal to a communication terminal. The broadcast downlink signal includes a modulated control data frame. The start time of the control data frame header is aligned with the LEO satellite's integer second time. The control data frame includes the integer second time corresponding to the current frame header, control information, and the LEO satellite ephemeris. The control information includes the initial phase information of the pseudo-random code used by the LEO satellite for uplink and downlink signals when communicating with the communication terminal. According to the agreed pseudo-random code and its initial phase information, the uplink communication signal is quickly acquired and tracked at the next integer second of the LEO satellite system time.

When the communication terminal receives the pseudo-random code initial phase information and starts communication, it records the LEO satellite integer second time t1 corresponding to the start time of the frame header in the control data frame, and recovers the second pulse signal corresponding to the receiving time of the current control data frame header. Based on the LEO satellite ephemeris, it calculates the signal propagation delay τ between the LEO satellite and the communication terminal corresponding to the next integer second time t2 of the LEO satellite. Using the recovered second pulse signal corresponding to the receiving time of the current control data frame header as a reference, it delays for a period of time to obtain the communication uplink signal transmission time t3.

[0093] Taking actual star search as an example, the broadcast downlink signal frequency is 1176.45MHz, the communication uplink signal frequency is 2020MHz, and k=2020 / 1176.45=1.718730077776361. After receiving the broadcast downlink signal, the second pulse can be obtained through frame synchronization, and the low-orbit satellite time corresponding to the low-orbit satellite time corresponding to the frame header of the control data frame is obtained through the text, and the Doppler f track of the 1176.45MHz frequency point is tracked. It is assumed that the pseudo-random code phase is received to start communication, the low-orbit satellite time t1=52330 seconds corresponding to the current frame header time of the broadcast downlink signal is recorded, the low-orbit satellite time t2=52331 seconds of the next whole second is obtained, and the signal propagation delay τ=0.003329609 seconds between the low-orbit satellite and the communication terminal corresponding to the low-orbit satellite time t2 of the next whole second is calculated according to the low-orbit satellite ephemeris and the terminal position. The low-orbit satellite system time corresponding to the transmission time should be:
[0094] t3=52330+1-0.003329609=52330.996670391
[0095] In addition, the downlink tracking Doppler f track =-436 at this time is recorded, the Doppler f dop =-1.71873×(-436)=749.3663 is compensated.
