Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of satellite communication interference protection, and more particularly to an interference cancellation device and method for a Ka and Ku frequency band multi-mode satellite communication ground station. BACKGROUND

[0002] Satellite communication is a wireless communication technology that relies on satellite relay to achieve long-distance information transmission. In particular, in long-distance over-the-horizon high-speed data transmission and other application scenarios, satellite communication has an irreplaceable position. Satellite communication is an important electromagnetic interference, and improving the electromagnetic interference protection capability of satellite communication has important practical value.

[0003] Using array antenna beamforming can improve the interference suppression capability of satellite communication ground stations. Simply put, by receiving signals through multiple antenna elements, the received signals are then vector synthesized to make the synthesized beam null direction align with the interference source, thereby achieving interference suppression. In the field of communication interference cancellation technology, adaptive filtering algorithms are commonly used to achieve interference cancellation functions. The Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and its variants have the characteristics of simple structure and low complexity, and are widely used.

[0004] The satellite communication interference suppression technology based on array antenna beamforming faces the following difficulties in the development process: First, a single satellite communication ground station can work in multiple communication frequency bands such as Ku, Ka, etc., but traditional beamforming interference suppression methods only support one communication frequency band, such as Ku or Ka band, and cannot support anti-jamming for multiple frequency bands at the same time. Independent hardware circuits are used to implement anti-jamming processing for Ku and Ka frequency bands respectively, which has high hardware complexity and cost. Second, the same satellite communication ground station can use multiple communication modes at the same time, such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) communication modes, etc., and in practice multiple communication modes may work at multiple frequency points. However, traditional satellite communication anti-jamming technology can only process a single frequency point or two frequency points or a certain communication mode, and does not support multi-frequency point and multi-communication mode satellite terminals. Third, the satellite communication ground station generally uses a parabolic antenna to receive downlink signals of multiple operating frequency points and multiple different communication modes, and then distributes the received signals of different communication modes to multiple different satellite terminals through a radio frequency switch matrix, making it difficult to independently process each terminal without affecting each other.

[0005] CN113922889A discloses a multi-frequency interference cancellation device for a Ku and Ka dual-band satellite communication ground station. The device realizes spatial sampling of interference signals in multiple frequency bands by combining sampling antenna units operating in different frequency bands. At the same time, multiple signal processing modules are used to process communication signals distributed in any frequency band and at any frequency point, thereby realizing Ku / Ka dual-band, multi-frequency point beamforming anti-interference, effectively overcoming the problem that traditional solutions can only process communication signals distributed in a single or two frequency points in the same frequency band.

[0006] However, the multi-frequency interference cancellation device of the Ku and Ka dual-band satellite communication ground station is connected between the satellite communication antenna and the satellite communication ground station terminal, which is not suitable for satellite communication ground stations with radio frequency switch matrices, and this access method cannot completely decouple the mutual influence between the satellite communication ground station terminal and other satellite communication ground station terminals.

[0125] The up-converter up-converts the analog baseband signal or the analog low intermediate frequency signal output by the digital-to-analog converter to an intermediate frequency and outputs it as the interference cancellation output signal corresponding to the f-th satellite communication terminal.

[0126] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of the digital signal processing unit provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the digital signal processing unit includes a delayer, a main beamformer, a weight updater, a weight filter and a slave beamformer.

[0127] The delayer is used to delay the input N-channel target frequency band sampled digital sub-signals and output N-channel space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals. The main beamformer is used to determine the initial weights of the N-channel space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals, perform weighted processing on the N-channel space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals based on the initial weights after smooth filtering, and synthesize them with the f-th satellite communication signal to output the initial interference cancellation signal. The weight updater is used to output updated weights using an adaptive filtering algorithm based on the N-channel space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals and the initial interference cancellation signal output by the main beamformer. Optionally, the weight updater allows the use of an adaptive filtering algorithm with a larger step size to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm. The weight filter is used to smooth filter the weights updated by the weight updater and output the final weights. The slave beamformer is used to perform weighted processing on the N-channel space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals based on the final weights and synthesize them with the f-th satellite communication signal to output the interference cancellation signal.

[0128] Specifically, in the digital signal processing unit of the f-th signal processing unit, the N target frequency band sampled digital sub-signals x(n) = [x1(n), ..., x N (n)] T (corresponding to N auxiliary antenna receiving signals) delay processing is performed through the delay device to obtain N-way space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals c(n) = [x T (n),x T (n-1),…,x T (n-L+1)] T , where L is the maximum delay; the main beamformer calculates the initial weights of the N-way space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals c(n), performs weighted processing on the N-way space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signals c(n) based on the initial weights and synthesizes them with the f-th satellite communication signal, and outputs the initial interference cancellation signal e m (n); In the weight updater, based on the initial interference cancellation signal e m (n) and N-channel target frequency band target frequency band sampled digital sub-signals x(n), using adaptive filtering algorithm to output updated weights w m (n); In the weight filter, update the weight w m(n) Perform smoothing filtering to obtain the final weight w after frequency filtering s (n); In the slave beamformer, using w s (n) Perform weighted processing on the N-way space-time auxiliary antenna receiving signal c(n) and synthesize it with the f-th satellite communication signal d(n) (corresponding to the main antenna receiving signal), and output the interference cancellation signal e of the f-th satellite communication signal s (n).

[0129] The interference cancellation device for a multi-mode satellite communication ground station in the Ka and Ku bands provided in an embodiment of the present application provides a master-slave structure beamformer. The master beamformer first calculates initial weights and uses the initial weights after smoothing filtering to perform weighted synthesis to obtain an initial interference cancellation signal. Then, the weight updater uses an adaptive filtering algorithm based on the space-time auxiliary antenna received signal and the initial interference cancellation signal, and the updated weights are filtered and smoothed to obtain final weights. Finally, the slave beamformer uses the final weights to perform weighted synthesis to obtain the final interference cancellation signal. On the one hand, since the final weights after smoothing filtering have a smaller error, the steady-state error of the output signal of the slave beamformer is reduced, thereby reducing the problem of increased steady-state error caused by the large step size of the adaptive filtering algorithm. On the other hand, since the master beamformer weight update allows the use of an adaptive filtering algorithm with a larger step size, the algorithm can be guaranteed to have a faster convergence speed. On the other hand, since the slave beamformer is not in the feedback loop of the adaptive filtering algorithm, it does not affect the stability of the adaptive filtering algorithm.
