Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical communication, in particular, to a portable wireless optical communication device and a communication control method with adaptive communication distance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The portable wireless optical communication device modulates service data onto an optical carrier to realize service data transceiving, voice communication, etc. The portable wireless optical communication device is generally composed of an integrated processor and an optical head, the former completes signal detection, photoelectric conversion, modulation and demodulation and service data extraction, and the latter completes beam shaping, beam shrinking, tracking and aiming to realize spatial optical signal receiving and transmitting. The portable wireless optical communication device has important applications in disaster relief, battlefield situation awareness, secure communication under radio silence conditions, high-reliability communication under electromagnetic interference environment, outdoor operation and exploration, etc.

[0003] The existing portable wireless optical communication device has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Small adaptive range of received signal strength. Atmospheric channel attenuation, turbulence and distance change between the transmitting and receiving ends have great influence on the optical communication terminal. Without considering the change of the atmospheric channel, the optical power at the receiving end differs by nearly 10000 times (80 dB) at a distance of several meters and several kilometers. However, the dynamic response range of the detector at the receiving end is limited (generally several dB), and the electronic gain multiple in the portable optical communication equipment is generally fixed. Thus, the large optical power dynamic range will result in signal saturation (several meters of communication distance) or being submerged by noise (several kilometers of communication distance).

[0005] 2. Poor portability. Although increasing the tracking and aiming servo system can solve the above-mentioned alignment problem, the tracking and aiming servo system must increase the sensors, actuators and controllers, so that the system is complex, and the volume, weight and power consumption are large, which cannot realize the miniaturization of the equipment.

[0006] 3. Difficulty in alignment between the transmitting and receiving ends. The common alignment method of wireless laser communication is a compound tracking strategy based on a mechanical turntable and a fast mirror to realize the fusion of coarse tracking and fine tracking. The volume and weight are large, which is not suitable for portable applications. The signal divergence angle and receiving field of view of the portable optical communication device are extremely small. The traditional solution is to place it on a stable tripod and use a manual aiming mirror to perform alignment, which greatly affects the use efficiency.

[0007] 4. Only static communication can be used. Under the premise that the transmitting angle and receiving field of view are extremely small, the transmitting and receiving ends are generally fixed for point-to-point static communication. The relative motion between the transmitting and receiving ends will cause inconsistency in the pointing direction, thereby causing disconnection of the communication link, which is not suitable for use on a moving platform (vehicle-mounted, ship-mounted, single soldier marching).

In this context, the embodiments can be combined with each other, features can be replaced or borrowed between different embodiments, and one or more features can be omitted in one embodiment.

[0048] The present application provides a portable wireless optical communication device with adaptive communication distance. In the process of communication among multiple observers, each observer holds a portable wireless optical communication device or wears the portable wireless optical communication device on the head. Each two observers carrying two portable wireless optical communication devices are paired with each other. The two paired observers are at a certain distance (which can be dynamically changed) and realize information transmission in motion. Wireless communication, ranging, visible light telescopic imaging and imaging can be realized. The communication distance range is dynamically changeable, and adaptive communication from several meters to several kilometers can be realized.

[0049] Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of the portable wireless optical communication device with adaptive communication distance according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. The device includes a telescopic light machine body, an optical communication unit and an electronic unit. The specific structure of each module is introduced as follows. Figure 1

[0050] ​The telescopic light machine body comprises two telescope barrel units, which are respectively referred to as a first telescope barrel unit and a second telescope barrel unit. The first telescope barrel unit comprises a first lens barrel, and the first lens barrel is sequentially provided with a first objective lens group, a first filter, a first turning mirror group and a first eyepiece group in the propagation direction of visible light. The second telescope barrel unit comprises a second lens barrel, and the second lens barrel is sequentially provided with a second objective lens group, a second filter, a dichroic mirror, a second turning mirror group and a second eyepiece group in the propagation direction of visible light. The dichroic mirror is designed based on a film system and can realize full projection (efficiency > 90%) of light signals with a wavelength less than 700 nm. The transmitted light signals enter the eyepiece group, and visible light telescoping is realized. Here, the objective lens group and the eyepiece group form a basic telescopic light path, and the turning mirror group rotates the inverted image formed by the objective lens into a positive image to facilitate eye observation. The lens barrel functions to fix various optical elements, circuit boards, battery boxes and the like. A user can realize observation of a remote target through the telescopic light machine body.

[0051] The telescopic light machine body of the embodiment can realize a magnification of a target of 2-10 times. Considering the portable requirement, the objective lens in the objective lens group can be selected as an objective lens with an aperture of 56 mm and a focal length of 184 mm. The eyepiece and the roof prism in the eyepiece group and the turning mirror group can be selected as a Kellner eyepiece with a focal length of 23 mm and a roof prism with a focal length of 23 mm, respectively, so as to realize miniaturization of the device. The length of the device is not greater than 160 mm, and the device is convenient to carry. In the embodiment, the core index of the telescopic light machine body design is: diopter adjustment ± 4, eye distance adjustment 60-76 mm, exit pupil distance > 22 mm.

[0052] The optical communication unit comprises an infrared light emitting branch and an infrared light receiving branch. The infrared light emitting branch is arranged on the main body of the optical telescope and is independent of the main body of the optical telescope. The infrared light is fixed on the main body of the optical telescope through a mechanical interface, is convenient to replace, can be replaced into different beam divergence angles, can adapt to different communication distances and different platform characteristics, and improves the applicability. The infrared light emitting branch comprises a light source and an infrared objective lens. The light source can be a light emitting diode (LED) or a laser diode (LD). The wavelength is outside the visible light range, and the wavelength of 900nm to 1550nm can be selected. Considering the maturity and cost of the device, 940nm and 1550nm are preferred. At the same time, considering the absolute safety of the human eye, the endurance time and other limitations, the pupil light power is strictly limited below 10mw. The infrared objective lens shapes the light beam emitted by the light source and emits according to a certain emission angle. The selection of the emission angle is directly related to the light power and the farthest communication distance. The divergence angle of the light beam can be designed to be between 1° and 10°. The infrared objective lens can be a beam reducer. The larger divergence angle emitted by the light source is reduced. The divergence angle and the field angle of the aforementioned optical telescope are within a certain proportional range. The range can ensure that the receiving end light power is large, and can ensure that the user on the opposite side is in most of the field of view of the telescope. A reasonable numerical proportional range realizes that "visible means available".

[0053] Figure 2 The structure of the infrared light receiving branch according to the embodiment of the application is shown. Referring to FIG. 4, the infrared light receiving branch comprises an infrared objective lens, an infrared filter, an infrared light receiving element, a signal processing circuit and a communication interface. Figure 2The infrared light receiving branch includes, in sequence along the propagation direction of the light beam, a second objective lens group, a second filter, a dichroic mirror, a hot mirror, a beam reducer, a third filter, and a detector, which is arranged in the off-axis direction of the visible light. The second telescope barrel unit shares the second objective lens group, the second filter, and the dichroic mirror with the infrared light receiving branch. After passing through the second objective lens group and the second filter, the light beam reaches the dichroic mirror, which reflects the light in the communication wave band (wavelength greater than 760 nm) to the hot mirror. The hot mirror reflects the light beam to the beam reducer, which is used to shape the light beam and reduce the received light spot diameter to 1 / 2 of the photosensitive surface size, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio. A narrow-band filter film is coated on the beam reducer, the center wavelength of the narrow-band filter film is the infrared signal light wavelength, and the bandwidth is ±20 nm. The detector can be an avalanche photodiode (APD) detector or a PIN photodetector in the infrared wave band, which converts the received infrared light signal into a weak electric signal. The photosensitive surface of the detector is as large as possible to improve the receiving field of view. In this embodiment, the infrared wave band APD photosensitive surface is 5 mm. It should be noted that the infrared light receiving branch can be integrated in the second telescope barrel unit. The infrared receiving branch can also be independent of the main body of the telescope optical machine and connected to the main body of the telescope optical machine through a hanging point, which is convenient to replace to realize different receiving field angles and adapt to different platform characteristics, such as communication in single soldier movement, communication in station platform movement, and communication in ship platform.

[0054] In this embodiment, the infrared light emitting branch and the infrared light receiving branch are arranged separately in physical space. The infrared light emitting branch can be an independent infrared light emitting machine structure, and different emitting components with different divergence angles can be replaced as needed. The separate arrangement of the two reduces the influence of backscattered light on reception and improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0055] Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of an electronic unit according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, referring to Figure 3 The electronic unit includes a signal emitting module, a signal receiving module, and a main control module, and realizes emission power control of the infrared light beam and reception signal intensity control of the infrared light beam. The electronic unit is connected with the infrared light emitting branch and the infrared light receiving branch. The composition and functions of each module are introduced below.

[0056] The signal transmitting module comprises a constant current driving circuit and a modulation circuit. The constant current driving circuit comprises a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), a driver and a filter capacitor. The MOSFET can be SI4405, and the driver can be ADP3624, which is used to receive the PWM signal output by the signal processor in the master control module. The duty cycle of the MOSFET is adjusted, and the tuning range is (1%~99%). The "on-off" current becomes a constant current source after filtering. The maximum driving current of the constant current driving circuit is 100 mA, and the precision is 1 mA. The transmitting power regulation is realized by adjusting the duty cycle. The output power of the constant current driving circuit is automatically controlled by the signal processor according to the received optical power intensity, which is the transmitting gain control of the device. The modulation circuit is a MOSFET switching circuit, which is used to modulate the service data signal output by the signal processor on the constant current driving circuit, and the service data signal realizes the "on-off" control of the light source.

[0057] The signal receiving module comprises a preamplifier and a filter circuit. The preamplifier can be a transimpedance amplifier with the model number OPA657U. The weak current signal output by the detector is converted into a voltage signal, and the amplification gain is adjusted by the signal processor through a digital potentiometer. The transimpedance gain range is 100Ω~10MΩ, so that the first-stage gain adjustment of the receiving end is realized. The filter circuit plays a role in selecting the signal frequency passing through the circuit, filtering out the background light, improving the signal-to-noise ratio, and realizing longer-distance communication.

[0058] The master control module comprises a signal processor, an adjustable amplifier circuit, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, a voice module, a sensitivity adjustment circuit and an interface unit. The signal processor can be ZYNQ7020 of XILINX Company, which is used to realize transmitting power control, receiving signal adaptive gain control, data encoding and decoding, automatic threshold binary extraction, etc. The sensitivity adjustment circuit comprises a high-voltage driver (model number LT8365) and a digital-to-analog converter (model number LTC2630). The voltage output by the digital-to-analog converter (model number LTC2630) is used to adjust the voltage output by the high-voltage driver (model number LT8365). The voltage output by the high-voltage driver (model number LT8365) is used as the working bias of the detector to adjust the multiplication factor of the detector, so that the second-stage gain adjustment of the receiving end is realized. The adjustable amplifier circuit comprises an amplifier (model number AD8338) and a digital-to-analog converter (model number LTC2630). The gain control of the signal amplitude in the electrical domain is realized by adjusting the amplification factor of the amplifier, that is, the third-stage gain adjustment of the receiving end is realized.

[0059] The analog electrical signal after three-stage gain is sent to an analog-digital conversion circuit and finally collected by a signal processor, and the signal amplitude is used as a condition for controlling the transmitting gain and the receiving gain to realize gain closed-loop control. The signal processing unit realizes adaptive communication to the receiving power variation caused by distance variation and pointing error through the receiving end three-stage gain and the transmitting gain.

[0060] In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the communication distance, the RS error correction code is designed in the software of the signal processor, and the signal processor realizes adaptive amplification, baseband data extraction, geographic position information acquisition, ranging, etc. In addition, the signal processor can realize data communication with the external device through the external communication interface (network interface, USB, earphone), and also supports external gain setting.

[0061] The interface unit includes an audio codec module, a network module, a USB module, and indicator lights, a battery, an earphone, a microphone, etc. The audio codec module can be WM8731, which integrates audio ADC acquisition and DAC playback and earphone driving, and can realize microphone voice signal acquisition and earphone playback. A human-computer interface is designed to facilitate the rapid alignment and communication of the transmitting and receiving parties, and the change trend of the received signal strength is reminded by the buzzer sound and the flicker frequency of the indicator light. The network module uses the 88E1116 PHY chip of Marvell Company, which is compatible with 1000M / 100M rate, and the MAC part is completed by the signal processor kernel, so that the terminal can be used as a network device to realize the transmission and reception of Ethernet data, which is very suitable for use in extreme environments where network cables cannot be laid, real-time intercom, etc. such as disaster relief, last mile communication, etc. to realize networking or offline application with other communication devices.

[0062] The specific implementation functions of the signal processing unit are introduced as follows. The signal processing unit realizes adaptive gain of the signal by controlling the receiving end three-stage gain and the transmitting gain, and updates the binary threshold value to realize adaptive threshold. It should be noted that the signal processing unit can realize adaptive gain and adaptive threshold at the same time, or can realize only adaptive gain or adaptive threshold.

[0063] The embodiment of the application provides a wireless optical communication control method with adaptive communication distance, and the method comprises the steps of:

[0064] In step 11, the digital signals in the plurality of sampling periods are subjected to smoothing filtering to obtain filtered digital signals. Before the digital signals are subjected to smoothing filtering, the device is initialized, specifically: the signal processor initializes the transmitting power, the transimpedance amplification multiple, the first-stage gain, the second-stage gain, the communication rate, the voice sampling rate, etc. according to the default values. Here, the plurality of sampling periods can be 100.

[0065] Step 12, calculate the absolute value of the average value V1 of the high level data in the filtered digital signal; here, the high level data in 100 sampling periods is put into the high level array from high to low, and the low level data is put into the low level array from low to high.

[0066] Step 13, determine the size relationship between the absolute value and the binary threshold value, if the absolute value is greater than or equal to the binary threshold value, end the adjustment, otherwise, execute step 14; here, the binary threshold value can be greater than 1 / 3 of the range of the digital-to-analog converter ADC.

[0067] Step 14, determine the error Δ of the absolute value of the average value V1 and the binary threshold value;

[0068] Step 15, judge whether the error Δ is greater than 0, if not, perform the first level gain adjustment with ɑ * V DD / 2 N as the step value, ɑ is the step factor, V DD is the amplifier voltage value, and N is the number of digital potentiometer bits, if yes, perform the first level gain adjustment with -ɑ * V DD / 2 N as the step value, and sequentially increase until the maximum value; here, the acquisition method of ɑ can be: establishing a functional relationship between gain and control voltage, taking the minimum value of the derivative of the function as the value of ɑ, for example, ɑ can be 10, V DD = 3.3, N = 1024, and the calculated ɑ * V DD / 2 N = 30mv.

[0069] Step 16, calculate the absolute value of the average value V2 of the high level data in the filtered digital signal after gain adjustment, if the absolute value of the average value V2 is greater than or equal to the binary threshold value, end the adjustment, otherwise, return to step 11 and perform the next level gain adjustment.

[0070] Here, when entering the next level gain adjustment, i.e. the second level gain adjustment, steps 11-16 are executed, in the case of not meeting the corresponding condition (the absolute value of the average value V2 is greater than or equal to the binary threshold value), the third level gain adjustment is performed, and steps 11-16 are also executed, in the case of not meeting the corresponding condition (the absolute value of the average value V2 is greater than or equal to the binary threshold value), the fourth level gain adjustment is performed, here, the fourth level gain adjustment refers to the transmission gain adjustment, and steps 11-16 are also executed, in the case of not meeting the corresponding condition (the absolute value of the average value V2 is greater than or equal to the binary threshold value), the device is powered off.

[0071] Further, the method further comprises updating the binary threshold value, including:

[0072] Firstly, signal data greater than an initial binary threshold V0 in a plurality of sampling periods is set as logic "1", and the rest of the signal data is set as logic "0";

[0073] Then, the mean value V of the first set number P of logic "1" signal data is calculated hi , the mean value V of the second set number Q of logic "0" signal data is calculated, and the binary threshold is updated to V i =(V hi +V li ) / 2; here, the first set number P can be 100 bits, and the second set number Q can be 100 bits.

[0074] Finally, a sliding window is set, the sliding window length is ≤min(P, Q), the sliding window slides on the signal data of a plurality of sampling periods, and for each sliding of the sliding window, the updated binary threshold V j of the sliding window is calculated, including: calculating the mean value V hj and the standard deviation δ of the logic "1" signal data in the sliding window after each sliding ends, if V hj >V hi , the updated binary threshold V j =V i +δ, otherwise, V j =V i -δ.

[0075] It is worth noting that an updated binary threshold is calculated for the sliding window after each sliding ends, and the binary threshold corresponding to the sliding window is used for binary processing of the signal data in the sliding window.

[0076] Further, the method further comprises: performing binary processing on the signal data in the sliding window according to the updated binary threshold V j ; and performing error correction and decoding on the binary processed signal data to realize reception demodulation of the signal.
