DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. It should be understood that the implementation methods described below in conjunction with the drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0021] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless specifically stated, the singular forms "one", "said", and "the" used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the terms "including" and "comprising" used in the embodiments of the present application refer to that the corresponding features can be implemented as the presented features, information, data, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the implementation as other features, information, data, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof supported by the technical field. It should be understood that when we say that an element is "connected" or "coupled" to another element, the one element may be directly connected or coupled to the other element, or it may refer to that the one element and the other element establish a connection relationship through an intermediate element. In addition, the "connection" or "coupling" used herein may include wireless connection or wireless coupling. The term "and / or" used herein indicates at least one of the items defined by the term, for example, "A and / or B" indicates that it is implemented as "A", or is implemented as "A", or is implemented as "A and B".

[0022] First, several terms involved in this application are introduced and explained: Radio altimeter: A device that measures the height of an object above the ground; Radio altimeter target echo simulator: a device used to simulate the radio altimeter's target height echo signal on the ground or sea surface; VxWorks real-time simulator: a simulator that uses the VxWorks real-time operating system; Semi-physical simulation: a simulation technology that introduces part of the simulation object into the simulation loop through physical simulation; Supersonic cruise target: A training device capable of achieving supersonic cruise.

[0023] In the relevant technology, the radio altimeter (altimeter for short) is a key component for obtaining altitude information during the flight of a supersonic cruise target (target for short), and is mainly composed of a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, a transceiver component, a signal processing component, an electrical interface, etc. During the flight of the target, the altimeter transmits radio wave signals to the ground or sea surface through the transmitting antenna. A part of the radio wave signals is reflected by the ground or sea surface and received by the receiving antenna. The signal processing component calculates the distance between the aircraft and the ground or sea surface based on information such as the signal difference frequency and time delay.

[0024] The altimeter's height measurement capability and height measurement accuracy are important parameter indicators of the target control system. The height measurement capability refers to the range of relative altitudes measured by the altimeter, and the height measurement accuracy refers to the error of the altimeter in measuring relative altitudes. The target needs to be able to adapt to various types of complex flight environments such as plateaus, flat land, and sea surfaces. The altimeter radar signal faces different multipath effects in different scenarios, and its echo signal varies greatly, which will have a great impact on the altimeter's high measurement performance, and then directly affect the target flight stability. Therefore, before conducting a target flight test, it is necessary to test the altimeter's high measurement performance and conduct a semi-physical simulation test of the target in combination with the altimeter.

[0025] The conventional detection method for radio altimeters is static detection, which simulates the ground echo delay based on the propagation delay of the signal in the delay line. Existing altimeter test systems are usually based on preset parameter conditions. They calculate echo data according to predetermined parameters before testing, and simulate land or sea echoes through continuous playback of simulators to verify the high performance of radio altimeters. The combination of field tests and actual aircraft flight can provide real plateau, flat land or sea target echoes, but this method has high requirements for test equipment, and will also extend the test cycle and increase development costs.

[0026] Through research, it is found that the radio altimeter test system can send altitude simulation control instructions to the exciter through the control and analysis module. The altitude simulation control instructions include altitude value and corresponding attenuation value instructions. The exciter generates and sends altitude simulation signals to the radio altimeter. The control and analysis module receives the radio altimeter test data and completes the radio altimeter test. At the same time, the continuous wave radio altimeter test device can set any altitude within the height measurement range through the host computer software test interface, and the test device automatically realizes the detection of the continuous wave radio altimeter test performance.

[0027] However, the above methods are unable to verify the real-time high performance of the altimeter, and are unable to truly simulate the working state of the altimeter under different dynamic flight conditions.

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a structural schematic diagram of a first altimeter simulation test system 10. The altimeter simulation test system 10 comprises: a real-time simulator 120, an echo simulator 130, an altimeter to be tested 140 and a host computer 110.

[0030] The real-time simulator 120 is used to generate a flight trajectory based on parameter configuration information carried in the flight trajectory generation instruction when receiving the flight trajectory generation instruction sent by the host computer 110, and determine the flight altitude and signal attenuation value based on the flight trajectory.

[0031] The echo simulator 130 is connected to the real-time simulator 120 , and is used to determine a simulated echo signal based on the flight altitude and signal attenuation value sent by the real-time simulator 120 and the transmission signal sent by the altimeter to be measured 140 .

[0032] The altimeter to be measured 140 is connected to the echo simulator 130 , and the altimeter to be measured 140 is used to determine the measurement altitude based on the transmission signal and the simulated echo signal sent by the echo simulator 130 .

[0033] The host computer 110 is connected to the real-time simulator 120 , and the host computer 110 is used to determine the measurement performance of the altimeter 140 to be measured based on the acquired measurement altitude and the flight altitude sent by the real-time simulator 120 .

[0034] The altimeter simulation test system 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application sends a flight trajectory generation instruction to the real-time simulator 120 through the host computer 110. The real-time simulator 120 can generate a flight trajectory based on the parameter configuration information carried by the flight trajectory generation instruction, thereby being able to generate flight trajectories under different flight conditions according to the different parameter configuration information set by the host computer 110, thereby simulating the high performance of the altimeter under different dynamic flight conditions.

[0035] At the same time, the real-time simulator 120 of the embodiment of the present application determines the flight altitude and the signal attenuation value based on the flight trajectory, and the echo simulator 130 determines the simulated echo signal based on the flight altitude, the signal attenuation value and the transmission signal sent by the altimeter 140 to be measured, so that the altimeter 140 to be measured can determine the measurement altitude based on the transmission signal and the simulated echo signal sent by the echo simulator 130, and the host computer 110 determines the measurement performance of the altimeter 140 to be measured based on the measurement altitude and the flight altitude, thereby forming a stable and efficient altimeter real-time simulation test system, which is a real-time simulation test system that can be used for a long time under laboratory conditions, avoiding field tests or actual machine flight, shortening the test cycle and saving test costs.

[0036] See also Figure 1As shown, the altimeter 140 to be measured is connected to the real-time simulator 120, and is used to send the measured height to the real-time simulator 120, so that the real-time simulator 120 sends the measured height to the host computer 110. As another example, the altimeter 140 to be measured is connected to the host computer 110, and is used to send the measured height to the host computer 110.

[0037] In some embodiments, the real-time simulator 120 is specifically used to generate a flight trajectory based on parameter configuration information through a target mathematical simulation model, determine a flight altitude based on position information in the flight trajectory, and determine a signal attenuation value based on the flight altitude.

[0038] Optionally, the parameter configuration information is used to generate a corresponding flight trajectory for the target mathematical simulation model. By configuring different parameter configuration information on the host computer, flight trajectories under different flight conditions can be obtained. The parameter configuration information can be used to configure interference conditions, and the generated flight trajectories are mostly typical flight trajectories.

[0039] Optionally, the real-time simulator 120 is a VxWorks real-time simulator, and the target mathematical simulation model is a target mathematical trajectory simulation model calculation software.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application uses the mathematical simulation model of the target to provide the flight altitude and signal attenuation value of the target under different dynamic conditions through the VxWorks real-time simulator to achieve high performance verification of the altimeter's real-time measurement. Moreover, the mathematical simulation model of the target in the embodiment of the present application can generate flight trajectories under various interference conditions, and can test the altimeter's real-time measurement capability and accuracy under different dynamic conditions.

[0041] In some embodiments, the echo simulator 130 includes a scene selection module, and the scene selection module is used to select a scene, and the scene includes at least one of the following: ground surface and water surface.

[0042] The echo simulator 130 is specifically used to perform echo simulation processing on the transmitted signal based on the flight altitude, signal attenuation value and selected scene to obtain a simulated echo signal; the echo simulation processing includes at least one of the following: delay processing, signal attenuation processing, and scattering information modulation.

[0043] Among them, the delay processing is to delay the transmission signal based on the flight altitude, the signal attenuation processing is to attenuate the transmission signal based on the signal attenuation value, and the scattering information modulation is to scatter modulate the transmission signal based on the selected scene.

[0044] Optionally, the water surface may be a sea surface or a river surface. For example, when a transmitted signal encounters the ground or the sea surface, the signal will be scattered differently, and modulation processing can be performed on the scattering of the transmitted signal according to the scene. It takes a certain amount of time for the transmitted signal to be reflected from the ground or the sea surface, so the received echo signal will have a delay, so the transmitted signal needs to be delayed. The transmitted signal will be attenuated during the transmission process, so signal attenuation processing is required.

[0045] In some embodiments, the altimeter to be measured 140 is specifically used to determine the signal difference frequency information and delay information based on the transmission signal and the simulated echo signal, and determine the measured altitude based on the signal difference frequency information and delay information; Among them, by comparing the transmission signal and the simulated echo signal, signal difference frequency information and delay information can be obtained. The signal difference frequency information indicates the difference in frequency between the simulated echo signal and the transmission signal, and the delay information indicates the delay in signal transmission time between the simulated echo signal and the transmission signal. There will be a certain frequency difference between the frequency of the simulated echo signal and the frequency of the transmission signal, forming the signal difference frequency information. There will be a time difference between the transmission time of the transmission signal sent by the altimeter 140 to be measured and the reception time of the corresponding simulated echo signal, forming the delay information.

[0046] Specifically, the transmission signal is a radio signal, which is a radio frequency signal, and the altimeter to be measured 140 is a radio altimeter. The altimeter to be measured 140 continuously sends the transmission signal to the echo simulator 130 through the transmission feeder.

[0047] See also Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a structural diagram of a second altimeter simulation test system 10. The host computer 110 includes a main control module 111 and a data processing module 112; the high performance measurement includes at least one of the measurement accuracy and the measurement capability.

[0048] The main control module 111 is used to send a flight trajectory generation instruction to the real-time simulator 120 .

[0049] The data processing module 112 is used to determine the measurement performance of the altimeter 140 to be measured based on the acquired measured altitude and flight altitude. If the difference between the measured altitude and the flight altitude is within a first preset range, it is determined that the measurement accuracy of the altimeter 140 to be measured meets the performance requirements; if the difference between the measured altitude and the preset altitude is within a second preset range, it is determined that the measurement capability of the altimeter 140 to be measured meets the performance requirements.

[0050] Optionally, the first preset range and the second preset range can be set according to the experience of the technicians. When the measured altitude is not much different from the flight altitude, it means that the measurement accuracy of the altimeter 140 to be measured is high. When the measured altitude is not much different from the preset altitude, it means that the measured altitude of the altimeter 140 to be measured does not deviate from the standard altitude, and is within the altitude measurement capability of the altimeter 140 to be measured, meeting the altitude measurement capability requirements.

[0051] In some embodiments, the altimeter simulation test system 10 further includes a DC power supply 150. The DC power supply 150 is connected to the altimeter 140 to be tested, and is used to supply power to the altimeter 140 to be tested.

[0052] Optionally, the DC power supply 150 may be a DC regulated power supply, for example, the altimeter 140 to be measured may be supplied with a power supply voltage of 28V.

[0053] See also Figure 3 As shown, the present application embodiment provides a structural schematic diagram of a third altimeter simulation test system 10. Figure 3 As shown, the VxWorks real-time simulator represents the real-time simulator 120, the radio altimeter target echo simulator represents the echo simulator 130, the radio altimeter represents the altimeter to be measured 140, the DC regulated power supply represents the DC power supply 150, the main control software corresponds to the main control module 111, and the data processing software corresponds to the data processing module 112. The VxWorks real-time simulator and the radio altimeter target echo simulator transmit data through a serial port or a network. The radio altimeter target echo simulator and the radio altimeter transmit data through a receiving feeder and a transmitting feeder.

[0054] based on Figure 3 The altimeter simulation test system 10 shown in the present application provides an altimeter machine performance test implementation method: (1) A DC regulated power supply supplies power to the altimeter, which continuously sends a transmit signal to the radio altimeter target echo simulator through a transmit feeder.
