Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of passive positioning, specifically relating to a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system and test method for single-station passive positioning of a signal source. Background Technology

[0002] The single-station passive localization of the signal source mainly utilizes the relative motion between the platform and the target to obtain continuous information on the direction of arrival, signal phase, and Doppler frequency changes. By establishing a suitable localization model and selecting an appropriate filtering algorithm, the target state can be estimated.

[0003] Performance verification and testing of single-station passive positioning systems using signal sources are generally conducted through a combination of software simulation and flight testing. However, software simulation struggles to assess system effectiveness in conjunction with the positioning system's hardware performance, and its results are unreliable for acceptance testing. While flight testing can fully verify the actual positioning performance of the system, organizing such tests is prohibitively expensive. It requires modifications to the carrier aircraft to accommodate the installation and operation of the tested positioning system, and the aircraft itself must possess positioning, navigation, and attitude measurement capabilities. Furthermore, a high-power analog signal source needs to be installed on the ground as a test device. The test area and planned flight path are limited by terrain and air traffic control, and the application process is lengthy. Test organization, planning, and on-site support are also challenging. Consequently, flight testing has poor repeatability and is insufficient for guiding system debugging and verification during the development phase. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system and test method for single-station passive positioning of signal source, which effectively reduces the cost of testing and acceptance of single-station passive positioning performance of signal source, and fully verifies and iteratively improves positioning performance through repeated experiments during the development stage.

[0005] The technical solution for achieving this invention is: a signal source single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system, comprising a target simulation platform and a motion simulation platform. The target simulation platform and motion simulation platform are road-mobile, allowing for changes in the test site, and integrate generators and communication equipment, possessing independent operating capabilities.

[0006] Both the target simulation platform and the motion simulation platform include a spatiotemporal reference device and a wireless communication device. The spatiotemporal reference device can report the position, orientation, and time information of the target simulation platform or the motion simulation platform and provide timing signals. The wireless communication device can establish a wireless communication link between the target simulation platform and the motion simulation platform to realize data and command interaction.

[0007] The target simulation platform includes a simulated signal source, a signal source turntable, and a transmitting antenna. The simulated signal source and the transmitting antenna can transmit simulated signal sources in a predetermined direction, and the signal source turntable can rotate to change the direction of the simulated signal source.

[0008] The simulated signal source can simulate common signal source targets in typical radar and communication fields. The signal parameters are adjustable and it also has power adjustment capability. The power of the transmitted simulated signal source can be adjusted according to the distance of the target during the semi-physical simulation test.

[0009] The motion simulation platform includes a test specimen turntable and a general-purpose cabinet. The test specimen turntable is used to mount the antenna array of the test specimen, and the general-purpose cabinet is used to mount the functional components of the test specimen. During the hardware-in-the-loop simulation test, the test specimen turntable can continuously adjust the orientation of the antenna array of the test specimen according to the relative positional relationship between the test specimen and the target to achieve continuous trajectory tracking.

[0010] The target simulation platform and motion simulation platform integrate an industrial control computer. The industrial control computer is used for three main functions: pre-test planning, test process control, and test data analysis.

[0011] The signal source single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test system can be used for semi-physical simulation testing of test specimens with signal source direction finding and positioning functions. The test specimen consists of a test specimen antenna array and a test specimen signal receiving and signal processing sub-unit.

[0012] The target simulation platform is used to simulate a target and radiate electromagnetic signals.

[0013] A test method for a single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system for signal source localization, using the aforementioned HIL system, includes the following experimental steps:

[0014] Step 1) Based on the receiving performance and parameters of the test specimen, and in conjunction with the equivalent radiated power range of the signal transmitted by the simulated signal source through the transmitting antenna, select the appropriate test distance and test site.

[0015] Step 2) Define the target and simulate the trajectory of the test piece relative to the target, and perform motion simulation before the test through the industrial control computer.

[0016] Step 3) Develop a complete testing and support plan based on the above information.

[0017] Step 4) The signal source single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test system is deployed to the preset test site, set up, calibrated in position and direction, and timed to ensure that the test piece works normally and that the target simulation platform and motion simulation platform have smooth wireless communication.

[0018] Step 5) Set the test parameters according to the test plan, and control the signal source turntable to point to the motion simulation platform by the industrial control computer to ensure that the simulated radiation signal points to the antenna array of the test piece. Then control each of the affiliated devices to automatically carry out the single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test of the signal source.

[0019] Step 6) After the test, save the data and dismantle the equipment.

[0020] Step 7) Review the experimental process and analyze the experimental data.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this invention are:

[0022] (1) Effectively reduces testing costs compared to flight testing.

[0023] (2) It has higher accuracy and reliability compared with software simulation.

[0024] (3) It has the ability to store data and repeat experiments, which helps to locate system problems, analyze them, and upgrade them iteratively.

[0025] (4) The test system is mobile and can select the test site according to the test requirements. It integrates generator and wireless communication equipment and can work independently. Attached Figure Description

[0064] The main procedures for conducting experiments using the aforementioned single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system for signal sources are as follows:

[0065] Step 1) Based on the receiving performance and parameters of the test specimen, and in conjunction with the equivalent radiated power range of the signal transmitted by the analog signal source 8 through the transmitting antenna 6, select the appropriate test distance and test site.

[0066] Step 2) Define the target and simulate the trajectory of the test piece's relative motion, and perform pre-test motion simulation using the industrial control computer;

[0067] Step 3) Develop a complete testing and support plan based on the above information;

[0068] Step 4) The signal source single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test system is deployed to the preset test site, set up, calibrated in position and direction, and timed to ensure that the test piece works normally and that the target simulation platform and motion simulation platform have smooth wireless communication.

[0069] Step 5) Set the test parameters according to the test plan, and control the signal source turntable 7 to point to the motion simulation platform by the industrial control computer to ensure that the simulated radiation signal points to the antenna array of the test piece. Then control each of the affiliated devices to automatically carry out the signal source single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test.

[0070] Step 6) After the experiment, save the data and dismantle the equipment;

[0071] Step 7) Review the experimental process and analyze the experimental data.

[0072] Specifically:

[0073] When conducting experiments, the aforementioned signal source single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system is illustrated using a certain type of UAV-borne "black flight" UAV remote control terminal positioning system as an example. It should be noted that this system is more suitable for testing and evaluating long-distance positioning systems.

[0074] The tested positioning system is carried by a flight platform such as a fixed-wing UAV and can be used by law enforcement agencies to control "black flight" UAVs in sensitive areas such as airports, locate the remote control terminal of "black flight" UAVs, and assist in the arrest of UAV operators suspected of illegal activities.

[0075] The test of the single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system for the signal source mainly includes seven steps: test planning, trajectory simulation, test support, equipment setup, test execution, equipment removal, and post-test evaluation.

[0076] The main tasks of the experiment planning are as follows: Based on the sensitivity index of the tested positioning system and the transmission power and transmission antenna gain of the "black flight" UAV remote control terminal, and combined with the limitations of the test distance at the test site, the minimum transmission signal power of the simulated signal source and the maximum simulated test distance of the target simulation platform are calculated by scaling proportionally. The calculation process is as follows:

[0077] P t =P r (4πR·λ) 2 / (G t G r )

[0078] Where P t P is the minimum transmitted signal power of the analog signal source of the target simulation platform. rR is the receiver sensitivity of the subject's positioning system, R is the maximum simulated test distance, λ is the operating wavelength of the subject's positioning system, and G is the receiver sensitivity of the subject's positioning system. t G represents the transmit antenna gain of the target simulation platform. r The gain of the receiving antenna of the testing positioning system.

[0079] The main function of the trajectory simulation is as follows: based on the flight trajectory characteristics and motion parameters of the flight platform carried by the test positioning system, and combined with the maximum simulated test distance calculated during the test planning phase, a simulated test trajectory is formulated. The distance from any point on the trajectory to the target simulation platform does not exceed the maximum simulated test distance. The industrial control computer calculates and converts the motion of the test positioning system along the simulated trajectory into the rotation of the test turntable 14. The motion of the test positioning system is simulated using the principle of relative motion. Figure 4 As shown, the rotation of the test specimen turntable 14 satisfies the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] Where θ(t) is the angular rotation of the test specimen turntable 14, that is, the opposite value of the angular change from time t to time t+Δt; The position vector of the simulated track point relative to the test specimen turntable 14 at time t; The simulated track point relative to the test specimen turntable 14 at time t+Δt; ω is the velocity vector of the simulated track point relative to the test specimen turntable 14 at time t; max α is the maximum angular velocity of the test specimen turntable 14; max The maximum angular acceleration of the test specimen turntable 14 is given.

[0082] The main tasks of the test support are as follows: based on the test planning and the results of the flight path simulation, and in combination with the test site support conditions, to sort out and formulate test implementation details and personnel and equipment support plans, to establish emergency response plans for environmental factors such as severe weather, to analyze and identify safety hazards in the test process and test site, and to take preventive and protective measures in advance.

[0083] The main tasks of the equipment setup are as follows: Based on the results of the test planning, transport the motion simulation platform and the target simulation platform to the preset location, and use the leveling outriggers to level the vehicle platform; start the motion simulation platform and the target simulation platform, and use the industrial control computer to complete the system self-test; perform self-positioning through the spatiotemporal reference device and record the coordinates; control the signal source turntable 7 so that the transmitting antenna 6 points to the motion simulation platform; control the lifting rod to raise, and debug the communication equipment equipped on the motion simulation platform and the target simulation platform to ensure communication between the two vehicles; then install the test positioning system in the motion simulation platform and debug the equipment to make it work in the preset state.

[0084] The main tasks of the experiment are as follows: based on the results of the experiment planning, the target simulation platform is controlled by the industrial control computer to transmit predetermined test signals, and the signal power and signal characteristics are automatically adjusted over time; based on the results of the trajectory simulation, the test specimen turntable 14 is controlled by the industrial control computer to automatically rotate over time to simulate target movement; the test positioning system continuously records the simulated target direction finding results, positioning results, signal characteristics, raw data and other information of the target simulation platform during the experiment, which are processed and recorded in the industrial control computer.

[0085] The main tasks of the equipment dismantling are as follows: after confirming that the test data recorded in the industrial control computer is correct and exporting it, disassemble the test positioning system, set the signal source turntable 7 and the test piece turntable 14 to the transportation state, turn off the communication equipment and lower the lifting rod, dismantle the leveling outriggers, and drive the motion simulation platform and the target simulation platform to the starting position.

[0086] The main tasks of the post-mortem evaluation are as follows: based on the test data exported when the equipment was withdrawn, the industrial control computer analyzes and calculates the positioning accuracy and error sources of the tested positioning system, which helps to further improve the positioning accuracy of the tested positioning system; by plotting the simulated flight path curve and positioning curve, the positioning effect of the tested positioning system can also be displayed more intuitively.

[0087] Preferably, the advantage of this invention is that the pre-test motion simulation can determine whether the changes in angle and distance during relative motion are within the performance boundaries of the single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system. Specifically, the change in angle during relative motion must match the design specifications of the rotational speed and acceleration of the test specimen turntable in the simulated motion platform, and the change in distance during relative motion must match the adjustment range and accuracy of the equivalent radiated power of the target simulation platform. If the relative motion exceeds the performance boundaries of the single-station passive positioning hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system, the parameters of the simulated trajectory need to be adjusted until the requirements are met.

[0088] Preferably, the advantages of this invention are as follows: during the single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test of the signal source, the spatiotemporal reference device provides accurate time information in real time, ensuring that the signal transmission of the target simulation platform, the movement of the test piece turntable 14 of the motion simulation platform, and the recording of the test piece measurement and positioning data are all carried out strictly according to a unified time point, thus ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0089] Preferably, the advantages of this invention are as follows: during the single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test of the signal source, apart from the timing signal being provided by the spatiotemporal reference device of the motion simulation platform, there is no other information interaction with the motion simulation platform. The test piece is independently controlled by an external debugging computer, which records the process data and positioning results, ensuring the reliability of the test results.

[0090] Preferably, the advantages of this invention are as follows: in the post-analysis stage after the completion of the single-station passive positioning semi-physical simulation test of the signal source, the data recorded by the test piece can be imported into the industrial control computer of the motion simulation platform, and the industrial control computer can compare the simulated trajectory data with the data recorded by the test piece, calculate the positioning error, compare the process data, and analyze the source of the error.
