[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the 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.
[0055] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a capture and tracking control method in a satellite-borne laser communication payload provided in this embodiment, Figure 2 This is the capture and tracking circuit in the satellite-borne laser communication payload provided by this embodiment.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a capture tracking control method in a satellite-borne laser communication payload, and the execution subject may be Figure 2 The circuit shown, Figure 2As shown, the circuit includes a signal acquisition unit, a signal processing unit, a fine tracking unit, a sensor unit and a motor drive unit, and is mainly composed of a power supply system, FPGA, MCU, AD, DA, operational amplifier, high-voltage operational amplifier, instrumentation operational amplifier, SRAM, MRAM, PWM drive circuit, current measurement sensor, magnetic isolator and corresponding interface circuit. The method mainly includes the following steps:
[0057] 101. Obtain the orbital information of the own star and the orbital information of the target star respectively.
[0058] In a specific implementation process, two satellites need to communicate by emitting lasers to each other, locking and capturing the lasers emitted by each other to establish a link, and then communicate. First, make sure that both the receiving satellite and the sending satellite are powered on, the sending satellite is the local satellite, and the receiving satellite is the target satellite. The device obtains the orbit information of the local satellite through GPS broadcast, and obtains the orbit information of the target satellite through remote control commands.
[0059] 102. Based on the orbit information of the own satellite and the orbit information of the target satellite, perform initial open-loop pointing and capture the beacon optical signal.
[0060] The signal processing unit in the center of the circuit is the core execution body. The signal processing unit confirms the initial pointing of the target star based on the acquired ephemeris, local time, attitude and other information; and then determines the initial pointing of the optical system's visual axis through calculation. Based on the initial pointing of the target star and the initial pointing of the optical system's visual axis, according to the calculation results fed back by the signal processing unit, it is converted into the azimuth and elevation angles that need to be turned, and the drive motor is used to adjust the visual axis to the target star position pointed by the azimuth and elevation angles, and perform initial open-loop pointing. Then position the telescope in the direction of the other terminal in order to capture the beacon light signal.
[0061] 103. Based on the beacon optical signal, the systems of the local star and the target star are controlled to enter the scanning and staring phase, and the dual-end capture of the local star and the target star is achieved through open-loop scanning.
[0062] After the two systems, the system of the host star and the system of the target star, complete the initial rotation of the line of sight, they enter the scanning and staring stage. The systems controlling the host star and the target star scan and track the beacon light signal; based on the beacon light signal, ephemeris and orbital parameters, the host star and the target star are controlled to perform initial alignment; after the initial alignment, the system controlling the host star controls the line of sight to scan according to the real-time path, and the system of the target star stares.
[0063] Figure 3It is a schematic diagram of the open-loop scanning capture principle provided in this embodiment. A and B represent the local star and the target star, respectively. A transmits a wide-beam beacon light signal to search and scan the receiving field of view FOV where B is located. When B is covered by the laser beam emitted by A, the detector of B detects the beam emitted by A, and solves the error between the visual axis of terminal B and the incident beam according to the position of the light spot, drives B to adjust the beam direction, and sends a response signal to A at the same time, to achieve single-end initial capture. When A detects the response light of B, the visual axis direction of terminal A is corrected according to the position of the light spot. When the detector of B detects the incident beam again, the initial capture of both ends, i.e., the local star and the target star, is achieved. At this time, there are targets in the detector fields of view of terminals A and B, and the open-loop scanning and capture process of link establishment is completed.
[0064] 104. Based on double-end capture, the beacon light signal is detected by the detector, the beacon light signal is maintained within the preset range of the detector, and coarse tracking is established.
[0065] After the initial capture is achieved at both ends, the tracking detector detects the light spot signal and establishes coarse tracking. Through continuous adjustment, the light spot is always maintained near the center of the detector. The detector can achieve rapid switching of frame rate and field of view through windowing technology. During the capture phase, the tracking system is in an open-loop state.
[0066] 105. During the coarse tracking process, when the system optical axis is within the fine tracking field of view, the system enters the fine tracking stage to achieve link establishment and communication between the local satellite and the target satellite.
[0067] After receiving the beacon light, the tracking process begins. The signal processing unit will perform closed-loop control based on the miss distance between the target star and the center of the detector, and continuously adjust the angles of the pitch motor and azimuth motor to track the beacon light signal. During the continuous tracking of the beacon light signal, the system enters the fine tracking stage until the optical axis of the system is in the fine tracking field of view.
[0068] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the precise tracking process provided by this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, after achieving dual-end capture, the light spot falls into the detector field of view, and then the light spot position is adjusted, and the copper drum performs large field of view and low frequency light spot adjustment, so that the light spot gradually falls into the precise tracking field of view. Then the closed-loop position is moved to the central detector, high-precision tracking is established, and the closed-loop position is moved to the tracking window, and the windowing mode is used to achieve high-precision closed-loop tracking at a high frame rate.
[0069] The signal acquisition unit captures the light signal through the detector of the fine tracking unit and calculates to determine the spot position; based on the spot position, the optimal spot position of the sensor unit is calculated and determined. At this stage, the signal processing unit controls the fast mirror in the fine tracking unit based on the optimal spot position and the error signal fed back by the detector of the fine tracking unit, and adjusts the communication accuracy so that the error reaches the accuracy required by the communication. Generally, the fine tracking accuracy is a few micro-radians. In this process, the tracking range is ±26° cone angle of the subsatellite point, the pointing / coarse tracking accuracy (including after E / F switching) is no more than 50urad, and the fine tracking accuracy is better than 3urad (3σ).
[0070] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment also includes: when the light spot escapes from the fine tracking field of view, the capture process of the scanning gaze stage, dual-end capture, coarse tracking and fine tracking is re-executed.
[0071] Specifically, when the light spot enters the field of view of the fine tracking detector, fine tracking is established, but the light spot may escape the fine tracking field of view, and the terminal needs to re-establish fine tracking through coarse tracking or even open-loop scanning. When the fine tracking is stable, the link between terminal A and B is successfully established and communicates. At this point, the intersatellite communication link is established. Since the satellite is constantly moving at high speed, the capture and tracking module continues to monitor the intersatellite laser communication. The fine tracking unit and the signal processing unit continuously repeat the above workflow to track the communication link signal to achieve the function of monitoring the communication link.
[0072] The capture tracking control method in the satellite-borne laser communication payload provided by the present invention has a broken link reconstruction function. The capture tracking keeps tracking the communication link and continuously reports the communication status. When the link is broken, it can autonomously start the link establishment workflow. The capture time is short and the capture probability is high. The capture is ≤15s@uncertain area 1mrad, and the capture probability is ≥95%. The detection terminal uses a detector with a large field of view (FOV) for detection, which increases the capture range and ultimately reduces the time for precise alignment of the two satellite terminals, establishes a stable link and realizes communication. It has the advantage of being resistant to radiation, and all circuit components are selected using aerospace-grade components.
