Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rubidium atomic clock optimization, and more specifically, to a method, device, storage medium and terminal for optimizing the drift rate of a rubidium atomic clock. Background Art

[0002] There are three main indicators of rubidium atomic clocks, namely frequency stability, frequency accuracy and frequency drift rate. The frequency drift rate is calculated through frequency accuracy, which is an inherent characteristic of atomic frequency standards and has a significant impact on the overall performance of rubidium atomic clocks.

[0003] The frequency drift rate plays an important role in satellite time synchronization and frequency calibration systems. When the accuracy requirements for time synchronization and frequency calibration are high, the frequency drift rate needs to meet certain requirements. As one of the most important indicators of rubidium atomic clocks, the quality of this indicator determines the performance of rubidium atomic clocks. The drift phenomenon of rubidium atomic clocks is the result of the combined influence of multiple factors, among which the most important are temperature drift and aging drift. Temperature drift is the frequency drift caused by changes in the working environment temperature of the rubidium atomic clock. Aging drift refers to the frequency drift caused by the aging of the internal components of the rubidium atomic clock. The drift rate is a key indicator for measuring the autonomous navigation time of the rubidium atomic clock. Therefore, the adjustment and optimization of the drift rate is the core link in the development process of the rubidium atomic clock. We must find a way to minimize the indicator as much as possible in order to obtain better overall performance. The main problem with drift rate adjustment at present is that many steps in the production process of rubidium atomic clocks are completed manually, and there are many factors that affect the drift rate index, such as the size of the rubidium bubble, absorption bubble, filter bubble, etc. Therefore, it is difficult for the drift rate index of the rubidium atomic clock to achieve an absolute value less than 5E-14.

[0004] In order to improve the drift rate, the frequency drift characteristics of the rubidium atomic clock are generally optimized by the following two methods: 1. First, a drift rate model is established based on the frequency drift test data of the rubidium atomic clock, and then the DDS is adjusted to achieve the purpose of optimizing the frequency drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock; 2. The temperature of the lamp room and chamber of the physical part of the rubidium atomic clock is adjusted. The basic principle of this method is to achieve the purpose of optimizing the frequency drift rate characteristics of the rubidium atomic clock by reducing the optical frequency shift. The above two methods require a lot of theoretical analysis and experimental data, including measuring the startup characteristics of the rubidium atomic clock, the buffer gas pressure frequency shift, the influence of the lamp temperature and the cavity temperature on the accuracy, the microwave power frequency shift, etc., and considering that there are many links in the production process of each rubidium atomic clock that need to be completed manually, such as the rubidium bubble, the absorption gun and the filter bubble filling process, the debugging of the microwave cavity, the assembly of the cavity bubble system, etc. This results in each rubidium atomic clock may have different frequency drift rate indicators, so the above methods are difficult to effectively optimize the frequency drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock.

[0045] The following description and the drawings sufficiently illustrate specific embodiments of the invention to enable those skilled in the art to practice them.

[0046] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are only examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the attached claims.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the previously associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0049] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 , a method for optimizing the drift rate of a rubidium atomic clock provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0050] See also Figure 1-4 , which is a flow chart of a method for optimizing the drift rate of a rubidium atomic clock according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1-4 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0051] In traditional rubidium atomic clocks, as the assembly of the rubidium atomic clock is completed, the drift rate is basically fixed. At this time, the drift rate can only slowly decrease with the increase of running time. However, through theoretical analysis and experiments, it is proved that there is a certain relationship between the voltage control voltage of the constant temperature crystal oscillator inside the rubidium atomic clock and the output frequency. When the voltage control voltage changes, the output frequency will also change accordingly. Therefore, by adjusting the voltage control terminal voltage of the constant temperature crystal oscillator, the output frequency accuracy of the rubidium atomic clock can be adjusted.

[0052] In order to solve the problem of large drift rate of rubidium atomic clock, the embodiment of the present application proposes a method for optimizing the drift rate of rubidium atomic clock. The system block diagram of the whole design is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it specifically includes: a frequency difference measurement module, an MCU control module, a D / A converter and a rubidium atomic clock; the frequency difference measurement module is respectively connected to the constant temperature crystal oscillator, the reference signal and the MCU control module in the rubidium atomic clock, and the MCU control module is connected to the voltage control end of the constant temperature crystal oscillator in the rubidium atomic clock through the D / A converter; the reference signal can represent a signal of a reference frequency, and the rubidium atomic clock signal can represent a signal of the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock.

[0053] Step 1, collecting frequency difference data of the rubidium atomic clock relative to the reference signal. In step 1, it includes:

[0054] Collecting the frequency difference data within a first preset time range includes:

[0055] The output frequency and the reference frequency of the rubidium atomic clock within the first preset time range are collected, and the frequency difference data is obtained according to the output frequency and the reference frequency.

[0056] After a rubidium atomic clock is determined to be stable after startup, the frequency difference data between the 10MHz signal output by the rubidium atomic clock and the reference 10MHz signal within the first preset time range is measured by the frequency difference measurement module. The output frequency can be the output 10MHz signal, and the reference frequency can be the reference 10MHz signal. The first preset time range represents the frequency difference measurement duration range, and the frequency difference measurement duration can be dynamically adjusted according to the frequency difference data, so that the embodiment of the present application can obtain the latest time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock and realize the rapid optimization of the frequency drift rate characteristics of the rubidium atomic clock. The frequency difference measurement module sends the frequency difference data to the MCU control module.

[0057] Step 2: Establish a time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock based on the frequency difference data and the least squares method.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, after the MCU control module receives the frequency difference data, the MCU control module fits the frequency difference data by a linear fitting method based on the principle of least squares, and the fitting model is: y=ax+b, so that the sum of the squares of the deviations between each actual data point and the fitting curve is minimized, and finally the values ​​of a and b are obtained, thereby realizing the modeling of the time-frequency difference relationship of the rubidium atomic clock and obtaining the time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock. The time-frequency difference model is also called the frequency difference change model, which represents the changing trend of the frequency difference.

[0059] Before step 3, also include:

[0060] Testing the constant temperature crystal oscillator voltage control voltage and output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock;

[0061] The constant temperature crystal oscillator voltage control voltage and the output frequency are fitted to obtain the voltage-frequency fitting relationship. The constant temperature crystal oscillator voltage control voltage can be a 10 MHz constant temperature crystal oscillator voltage control voltage.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, data between the voltage-controlled voltage and the output frequency accuracy of a specific constant temperature crystal oscillator inside a rubidium atomic clock are measured, and a mathematical model between the voltage-controlled voltage and the output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator in the rubidium atomic clock is established by the linear fitting method based on the least squares principle, thereby determining the fitting relationship between the voltage-controlled voltage and the output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator inside the rubidium atomic clock. The fitting relationship between the voltage-controlled voltage and the output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator inside the rubidium atomic clock is the voltage-frequency fitting relationship of the rubidium atomic clock.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application fits the voltage-controlled voltage and output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator in two known rubidium atomic clocks in the test laboratory. The fitting curve between the voltage-controlled voltage and output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator in the rubidium atomic clock is shown in the figure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the relationship between the voltage at the crystal oscillator voltage control terminal and the output frequency in the rubidium atomic clock A is:

[0064] y=1.45617x+9.99999E6

[0065] The relationship between the voltage at the crystal oscillator voltage control terminal and the output frequency in the rubidium atomic clock B is:

[0066] y=1.31097x+1E7

[0067] It can be seen that the voltage and output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator are basically in a linear relationship. The embodiment of the present application can establish the relationship between the voltage at the voltage control terminal and the output frequency of the constant temperature crystal oscillator through linear fitting.

[0068] Step 3, adjusting the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock according to the time-frequency difference model and the voltage-frequency fitting relationship. In step 3, it includes:

[0069] Predicting the frequency adjustment amount of the rubidium atomic clock according to the time-frequency difference model;

[0070] Converting the frequency adjustment amount into a voltage change amount of the rubidium atomic clock;

[0071] The output frequency within a second preset time range is adjusted according to the voltage variation and the voltage-frequency fitting relationship.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the MCU control module can predict the DAC compensation output parameter of the rubidium atomic clock within the second prediction time range according to the time-frequency difference model, and convert the DAC compensation output parameter of the rubidium atomic clock into the voltage change at the constant temperature crystal oscillator voltage control end, and finally adjust the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock according to the way of adjusting the voltage change in the voltage-frequency fitting relationship, so that the accuracy of the output frequency is improved, the frequency drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock is optimized, and the overall performance of the rubidium atomic clock is improved. The DAC compensation output parameter of the rubidium atomic clock can refer to the frequency adjustment amount of the rubidium atomic clock.

[0073] The embodiment of the present application can cycle the operations of step 1, step 2 and step 3 in sequence to achieve the optimization of the frequency drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock. The second preset time range can be called the compensation time or the time range of frequency adjustment, which can be dynamically and flexibly adjusted according to the frequency difference data to achieve the best frequency drift rate optimization effect.

[0074] For example: after the rubidium atomic clock is powered on and stabilized, its frequency drift rate is large and the frequency difference data is also large, so the second preset time range can be relatively small. After the rubidium atomic clock has been running for a period of time, its frequency drift rate is small and the frequency difference data is also small. At this time, the second preset time range can be appropriately increased.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0076] The time-frequency difference model is updated according to the frequency difference data and the output frequency.

[0077] The MCU processing unit included in the MCU control module is embedded with a software algorithm, that is, the time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock is updated every second preset time to ensure the authenticity of the time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock. The first preset time range is before the second preset time range.

[0078] When there is no external reference signal, the MCU processing unit can complete the modeling of the simplified drift rate model, namely the time-frequency difference model, according to the previous frequency difference data, and then optimize the drift rate according to the new time-frequency difference model.

[0079] In summary, the embodiment of the present application proposes a method for optimizing the drift rate of a rubidium atomic clock. After the rubidium atomic clock is powered on and stabilized, a time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock is constructed based on the frequency difference data between the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock and the reference frequency within a first preset time range; the tested constant temperature crystal oscillator voltage-controlled voltage and output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock are fitted to obtain the voltage-frequency fitting relationship of the rubidium atomic clock. The frequency adjustment amount within the second preset time range is estimated based on the time-frequency difference model, and the frequency adjustment amount is converted into a voltage change amount. According to the voltage change amount and the voltage-frequency fitting relationship, the rubidium atomic clock DAC compensation output parameters are determined to achieve the adjustment of the output frequency of the atomic clock. The embodiment of the present application is simple, practical and has an optimized design. It combines the time-frequency difference model of the rubidium atomic clock, the voltage-controlled voltage of the constant temperature crystal oscillator and the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock. When the rubidium atomic clock operates normally, the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock is adjusted by the voltage-controlled voltage of the crystal oscillator inside the rubidium atomic clock, thereby optimizing the frequency drift rate characteristics of the rubidium atomic clock. It can not only automatically adjust the frequency drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock, but also broaden the adjustment range of the frequency drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock, thereby improving the long-term stability and accuracy of the output frequency of the rubidium atomic clock. It is used to optimize the drift rate index of the rubidium atomic clock, thereby improving the performance index and yield rate of the rubidium atomic clock, and has positive significance for reducing the development cost of the rubidium atomic clock and improving the drift rate of the rubidium atomic clock.
