Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of airborne communications, and in particular to an airborne dual-frequency dual-antenna ultra-short wave communication system and method. Background Art

[0002] The traditional airborne ultra-short wave communication function is half-duplex communication, where reception and transmission work at the same frequency. Each ultra-short wave communication link is usually equipped with one antenna and one receiving and one transmitting channel for voice or data signal transmission and reception. However, during the aircraft's circling and turning maneuvering flight, there is a high probability of communication interruption. The main reason is that the antenna pattern is distorted by the body after installation, and the antenna gain at some angles of azimuth and pitch cannot meet the communication distance requirements. For example, the antenna installed on the back of the aircraft has relatively weak coverage of the airspace on the belly, and the antenna installed on the belly has relatively weak coverage of the airspace on the back of the aircraft, resulting in insufficient communication margin and communication interruption. Therefore, the communication system using a single antenna will affect the communication effect during the aircraft's turning and maneuvering. To solve this problem, the airborne ultra-short wave link is usually equipped with two ultra-short wave antennas. The dual-antenna diversity reception technology is used to improve the received signal-to-noise ratio during reception. At the same time, the transmission selects the antenna with the highest signal-to-noise ratio in the most recent reception for single antenna transmission.

[0003] The communication function of dual-antenna diversity reception and single-antenna transmission has the following shortcomings: dual-antenna reception can utilize the airspace coverage superposition performance of the two antennas, improve the antenna gain airspace compliance rate, and improve the communication effect during aircraft circling or turning maneuvers. However, since the transmission uses a single antenna, the transmission communication capability is only the airspace coverage capability of a single antenna. If there are multiple communication objects and they are in different spatial positions, there will be problems of insufficient communication distance between individual communication objects and unreliable communication; or when communicating with ground communication objects, if an antenna with poor coverage is selected for transmission, reliable air-to-ground communication cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem of insufficient airspace coverage of single-antenna transmission, an airborne dual-frequency dual-antenna ultra-short wave communication system and method are proposed. Without increasing the channel hardware resources, the transmission strategy is adaptively adjusted based on the real-time flight position and flight attitude, which solves the problem of insufficient airspace coverage of ultra-short wave single antenna transmission on the airborne platform, resulting in the communication distance in some airspace not meeting the requirements.

[0029] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the airborne dual-frequency dual-antenna ultra-short wave communication method proposed by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar modules or modules with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be construed as limitations on the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] In view of the shortcomings of the existing airborne ultra-short wave dual-antenna communication system, an airborne dual-frequency dual-antenna ultra-short wave communication system is provided, which has a larger transmission airspace coverage and more reliable communication quality, while not increasing additional channel hardware resources and has high resource utilization.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , the airborne dual-frequency dual-antenna ultra-short wave communication system provides two operating frequencies, a first frequency and a second frequency, and the ground station is configured to work at the first frequency. Specifically, the system includes a first ultra-short wave communication link, connected to a digital signal processing module, used to transmit signals at the first frequency or the second frequency according to control and simultaneously receive radio frequency signals of the first frequency and the second frequency; a second ultra-short wave communication link, connected to a digital signal processing module, used to transmit radio frequency signals at the first frequency or the second frequency according to control and simultaneously receive radio frequency signals of the first frequency and the second frequency; a digital signal processing module, used to obtain radio frequency signals received by the first ultra-short wave communication link and the second ultra-short wave communication link, and demodulate to obtain received voice or data; and according to the ground station information and the aircraft inertial navigation information, determine the optimal link for communication with the ground station, and control the link to transmit radio frequency signals at the first frequency, and the other link to transmit radio frequency signals at the second frequency.

[0034] The first ultrashort wave communication link has the same structure as the second ultrashort wave communication link, wherein the first ultrashort wave communication link includes a first antenna, a first receiving channel, and a first transmitting channel, wherein the first antenna is connected to the digital signal processing module through the first receiving channel and the first transmitting channel respectively, radiates a radio frequency signal of the first frequency or the second frequency through the first transmitting channel, and simultaneously receives radio frequency signals of the first frequency and the second frequency through the first receiving channel. The second ultrashort wave communication link includes a second antenna, a second receiving channel, and a second transmitting channel, wherein the second antenna is connected to the digital signal processing module through the second receiving channel and the second transmitting channel respectively, radiates a radio frequency signal of the first frequency or the second frequency through the second transmitting channel, and simultaneously receives radio frequency signals of the first frequency and the second frequency through the second receiving channel.

[0035] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a specific implementation of the digital signal processing module, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , the digital signal processing module includes:

[0036] A digital channel receiving and processing module is connected to the first receiving channel and the second receiving channel, and is used to combine and receive the received four-way diversity receiving signals, and demodulate and output voice or data;

[0037] The optimal antenna calculation module determines the current position and attitude of the aircraft based on the preset ground station information and periodic inertial navigation data, and then determines the optimal antenna for communicating with the ground station; for example, the first antenna and the second antenna are respectively set on the back and the belly of the aircraft. When the aircraft is flying level, it can be calculated that the optimal antenna is the second antenna set on the belly.

[0038] The transmission parameter control and modulation module is connected to the first transmission channel and the second transmission channel, and is used to control the transmission channel corresponding to the optimal antenna to operate at the same frequency as the ground station, that is, the first frequency, and the transmission channel corresponding to the other antenna to operate at the second frequency, and modulate the signal to transmit voice or data.

[0039] In the system proposed in this embodiment, dual antennas are used to transmit dual frequencies simultaneously during airborne transmission. At the same time, based on the real-time flight position and attitude, the transmission frequencies of the corresponding transmission channels of the two antennas are adaptively allocated to improve the effective coverage of the transmission airspace; during airborne reception, digital channelization processing is performed without increasing the channel hardware resources. Each antenna can provide the ability to receive dual-frequency signals, ensuring reliable communication in multiple scenarios between air and ground and air and air. Two ultra-short wave antennas are used to radiate two-frequency RF signals at the same time, avoiding the problem of multipath signal phase cancellation at the receiving end caused by the same frequency transmission. When receiving, there is no need to increase the hardware resources of the receiving channel. A single receiving channel is used under each antenna to receive two different frequency RF signals at the same time. Digital channelization reception is performed in the digital domain, and four signals can be received simultaneously through two receiving channels of two antennas. Through dual-antenna dual-frequency transmission, dual-antenna multi-channel signals are received simultaneously, overcoming the problem of insufficient airspace range of single antenna transmission, expanding the airspace coverage of transmission, and ensuring the communication quality of both the sender and the receiver.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first antenna is connected to the first receiving channel and the first transmitting channel through the first transceiver switch, and the second antenna is connected to the second receiving channel and the second transmitting channel through the second transceiver switch; wherein, when the system detects that the transmission is enabled, the first transceiver switch and the second transceiver switch are switched to be connected to the transmitting channel, otherwise they are connected to the receiving channel.

[0041] In one embodiment, an analog-to-digital conversion unit is provided between the first receiving channel, the second receiving channel and the digital channel receiving and processing module; a digital-to-analog conversion unit is provided between the first transmitting channel, the second transmitting channel and the transmitting parameter control and modulation module.

[0042] In order to enable the received signal to receive the required RF signal, in this embodiment, the center frequency of the first receiving channel and the second receiving channel is the third frequency, wherein the third frequency = (first frequency + second frequency) / 2; |second frequency - first frequency| > transmission signal bandwidth; receiving filter bandwidth = (|second frequency - first frequency| + transmission signal bandwidth).

[0043] In actual applications, in air-to-air communication, both parties use dual-frequency dual antennas, and any antenna radiating any frequency can guarantee airspace coverage. However, the ultra-short wave ground station is single-antenna, single-frequency, and different from air-to-air communication. For communication with the ultra-short wave ground station, the position of the ground station is pre-loaded, the current flight position and flight attitude of the aircraft are obtained in real time, the optimal antenna for communication with the ground station is calculated, and the same frequency as the ground station is used for transmission on the optimal antenna, which can simultaneously ensure the communication reliability of air-to-ground and air-to-air multi-task scenarios.

[0044] In order to better understand the ultra-short wave communication system proposed in the present invention, this embodiment also provides a specific working process of the system:

[0045] Assume that the ground station operating frequency is planned to be F1, the airborne system operating frequencies are F1 and F2, and the transmission signal bandwidth is BW. During airborne transmission, the ultra-short wave functional link radiates different frequency signals through two antennas, F1 and F2, |F2-F1|>BW. During reception, each antenna is configured with a receiving channel at the back end, and the center frequency of the receiving channel works at F3, where F3 = (F1 + F2) / 2, and the receiving filter bandwidth = (|F2-F1| + BW), that is, a single receiving channel can receive two frequency signals of F1 and F2 at the same time. The two receiving channels of the two airborne antennas receive four signals at the same time, and finally perform digital channelization processing after analog-to-digital conversion, and combine and receive the four-way diversity reception signals, and finally demodulate and output the received voice or data. During transmission, the optimal transmitting antenna and corresponding transmitting channel for communicating with the ultra-short wave ground station are configured as the ground station operating frequency F1 and then transmitted, and the other antenna and channel work at F2. That is, without increasing the channel hardware resources, dual-antenna dual-frequency transmission overcomes the problem of insufficient airspace coverage of single-antenna transmission, expands the transmission communication airspace coverage range, and ensures the communication reliability of both the sender and the receiver.
