Among them, the satellite relative motion pointing change simulator 4 is used to simulate the relative angular motion between two satellites, and then simulate the pointing change caused by the relative motion between satellites. Optical fiber 5 can be used as a medium for transmitting optical signals, and may be used to connect various optical elements or modules in the test system to ensure the efficient transmission of optical signals between different components. The measurement and control cable 6 can be used as a cable for transmitting measurement and control signals to ensure that the signal control and information feedback functions between the host computer and various modules (such as the optical path switching module) work normally. The optical path trajectory can be the specific propagation path of the light beam to be measured and the auxiliary light beam after the intersatellite light beam transmission simulation, and the corresponding optical path parameters can include relevant parameters of the light beam to be measured and the auxiliary light beam during the transmission process (such as light intensity, angle, distance, etc.). The beam to be tested can be understood as a beam emitted by the network optical terminal to be tested, and the intersatellite beam transmission simulation is performed through the intersatellite beam dynamic simulation module 1.

It can be understood that the calibration test results include tracking accuracy.;
[0115] It should be noted that the first unilateral switching instruction can be used in a multi-beam calibration test scenario. The optical path switching module 2 includes a first optical switch 201 and a first fiber coupler 202. The first optical switch 201 is used to switch the optical path. The first fiber coupler 202 can efficiently merge or distribute multiple optical signals to different optical fibers. The first adjustable optical attenuator 107 and the second adjustable optical attenuator 109 simulate the attenuation of the intersatellite transmission link. The first coupling optical fiber 106 is used to simulate the distribution of the light field propagated over long distances and received by a relatively small-diameter terminal. The first transmitting optical fiber 1010 is used to direct the light beam. The measurement and control cable 6 is used to transmit control instructions and feedback data, connecting the host computer 3 and various optical components to achieve real-time control of the system and data feedback. Combined with Figure 1, exemplarily, the first optical switch 201 and the second optical switch 201' of the optical path switching module 2 are both turned to the same ground detection optical terminal (T1), and the optical axis calibration is performed on the two light receiving and light paths connected to T1 by the two aiming and tracking modules M1 and M2 of the networked optical terminal. During calibration, a high-precision corner cube reflector is placed at the front end of the parallel light tube, and the debugging laser light source is connected through the first coupling optical fiber 106 and the first transmitting optical fiber 1010. The second fast reflection mirror 1011 is adjusted to make the two light spots in the image sensor 104 overlap, and the coordinates of the overlap point are recorded as the reference point of the light receiving and light axis of the branch. Next, the power detection is performed on the two light receiving and light paths connected to T1 by M1 and M2, and the far-field transmission attenuation of spatial light is simulated by adjusting the first adjustable optical attenuator 107 of B1 and the second adjustable optical attenuators 109 of A1 and A2.

Considering that the divergence angle of the emission beam of the calibration terminal (such as the ground detection optical terminal 7 in the multi-beam calibration test scenario) is sufficient to cover the uncertainty range of the terminal to be calibrated (such as the networked optical terminal to be tested in the multi-beam calibration test scenario), T1 emits a beam stare to provide calibration laser. The two aiming and tracking modules M1 and M2 of the networked optical terminal to be tested randomly deviate from the calibration optical axis of the test system within the uncertainty range of the simulated calibration terminal (such as T1), and scan all ground detection optical terminals using the field of view scanning method. M1 and M2 capture the calibration laser in turn, perform rough tracking respectively, and then perform fine tracking. Finally, M1 and M2 use the same calibration laser to calibrate the receiving optical axis of the aiming and tracking module respectively, record the center coordinates of the receiving light spot as the reference point of the aiming and tracking module, and complete the calibration of multiple receiving optical axes in the same reference system.
[0116] In this embodiment, the combination of collimator and beam splitter can accurately simulate the transmission of far-field wavefront and the beam jitter caused by the vibration of satellite platform, and finely adjust the beam pointing with the help of high-precision fast mirror to ensure the alignment accuracy of the optical axis. The deviation of the receiving and transmitting pointing angle caused by the relaxation of the beam far-field transmission can be simulated by pointing adjustment, thus realizing the simulation transmission of inter-satellite beam. By recording the optical axis calibration results and automatically generating the calibration test results of the network optical terminal to be tested, accurate reference data is provided for subsequent analysis and performance evaluation.

[0120] Exemplary, combined Figure 1The networking optical terminal uses two light beams to perform multi-beam scanning to establish a link. The multi-beam scanning single-link link establishment test method includes: the first optical switch 201 and the second optical switch 201' of the optical path switching module are both turned to the same ground detection optical terminal (such as T2); the optical axis of the two receiving and transmitting light paths connected to the two aiming and tracking modules M1 and M2 of the networking optical terminal and T2 are calibrated; a high-precision corner cone reflector is placed at the front end of the parallel light tube, the first coupling optical fiber 106 and the first transmitting optical fiber 1010 are respectively connected to the debugging laser light source, and the second fast reflection mirror 1011 is adjusted to make the two light spots in the image sensor 104 overlap, and the coordinates of the overlap point are recorded as the receiving and transmitting light axis reference point of the branch. The test system adjusts the link simulation parameters, performs power detection on the two light receiving and transmitting paths connected to T2 by the two aiming and tracking modules M1 and M2 of the networked optical terminal, and adjusts the corresponding adjustable optical attenuators (the second adjustable optical attenuator 109 of B2 and the second adjustable optical attenuators 109 of A1 and A2) to simulate the far-field transmission attenuation of spatial light; then the first fast reflex mirrors 102 of A1, A2 and B2 are turned on to simulate the jitter of the transmitting laser pointing angle caused by the vibration of the satellite platform, and the second fast reflex mirror 1011 is turned on to test the deviation of the transmitting and receiving pointing angle caused by the relaxation of the far-field transmission of the simulated light beam, and the image sensor 104 monitors the transmitting laser pointing and presents the light spot trajectory on the host computer 3 of the test system.

[0124] It should be noted that when the test scenario is to establish multiple links and track the test scenario stably at the same time, the transmission mode of the light beam in the inter-satellite light beam dynamic simulation module 1 is consistent with the transmission mode of the light beam in the inter-satellite light beam dynamic simulation module 1 in the fifth embodiment, but the light path changes with the change of the light path switching module, which will not be described in detail here. Figure 6 As shown. For example, Figure 1To illustrate, the networking optical terminal uses two light beams to simultaneously establish two links and stably track the communication. The two optical switches (the first optical switch 201 and the second optical switch 201') of the optical path switching module are respectively turned to the two ground detection optical terminals, and the optical axis calibration is performed on the two receiving and transmitting light paths connected to the two aiming and tracking modules of the networking optical terminal and the ground detection optical terminal.

Considering the situation that the transmission beam divergence angle of the communication terminal to be established (the ground detection optical terminal 7 in the test scenario of establishing multiple links and stable tracking) is insufficient, but the field of view angle is sufficient to cover the uncertainty range of the terminal to be calibrated (the networked optical terminal to be tested in the test scenario of establishing multiple links and stable tracking), the two ground detection optical terminals randomly deviate from the calibration optical axis of the test system according to the uncertainty range of the simulated networked optical terminal (such as the networked optical terminal to be tested in the test scenario of establishing multiple links and stable tracking), and use the field of view for staring. The two aiming and tracking modules M1 and M2 of the networked optical terminal to be tested randomly deviate from the calibration optical axis of the test system according to the uncertainty range of the two simulated communication terminals to be established (such as T1 and T2), and respectively transmit light beams to scan the ground detection optical terminal; the image sensors 104 of A1, A2, B1, and B2 monitor the direction of the transmitted laser and present the light spot trajectory on the host computer 3 of the test system. T1 and T2 respectively capture the beam of the networked optical terminal, determine the direction of the beam of the networked optical terminal, and reflect the beam.

The two aiming, capturing and tracking modules of the networked optical terminal to be tested respectively perform fine tracking. The two aiming, capturing and tracking modules of the networked optical terminal to be tested complete the test of establishing two links at the same time and stably tracking the communication. The host computer 3 calculates and presents the time from the start of the link establishment instruction to the tracking accuracy meeting the fine tracking requirements, and simultaneously presents the tracking accuracy of the two links.
[0125] In this embodiment, through the double-sided switching instructions, the test system can flexibly switch to different ground detection optical terminals to achieve the synchronous establishment and tracking test of the networked optical terminal to be tested and multiple links. The multi-link parallel test function simulates the complex scenarios in actual intersatellite communications, making the test more representative and practical. At the same time, the field of view staring function of the ground detection optical terminal allows the system to be tested under conditions of uncertain optical axis deviation, increasing the test range and applicability of the system, and achieving precision calibration and stable tracking in the multi-beam multi-link link establishment and tracking test scenario, providing important support for the performance evaluation and optimization of intersatellite optical communication equipment.
