Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of radio measurement, and in particular to an analog-digital hybrid millimeter wave phased array multi-stream telemetry receiving device. Background Art
[0002] In the telemetry mission of high-speed and low-flying targets, ground telemetry equipment can use millimeter wave phased array antennas. On the one hand, millimeter waves can overcome the blackout problem caused by the plasma sheath effect. On the other hand, phased array antennas can simultaneously form multiple beams to search and scan in the target airspace to achieve rapid capture of space targets. When a space target simultaneously transmits s (s≥2) telemetry signals with different carrier frequencies, for example, the telemetry signal with carrier frequency f1 transmits low-bitrate telemetry data (1Mbit / s), and the telemetry signal with carrier frequency f2 transmits high-bitrate telemetry data (1Gbit / s), due to the large available bandwidth of the millimeter wave band (such as the Ka band frequency range of 26.5GHz to 40GHz), f1 and f2 can be flexibly set within the system working bandwidth. On the one hand, a larger interval is set to avoid adjacent channel interference, and on the other hand, the flexibly changing carrier frequency can prevent interception by the enemy. In this way, the bandwidth occupied by the two telemetry signals (including the interval between streams) is very large. Limited by the level of existing analog-to-digital sampling devices, it is difficult and costly to use one analog-to-digital sampler to simultaneously perform broadband sampling on the two telemetry signals, and the adaptability to large dynamic signals is limited. The existing system generally uses two analog-to-digital samplers to sample the two signal streams respectively, the narrowband analog-to-digital sampler samples the low-bitrate telemetry signal, and the wideband analog-to-digital sampler samples the high-bitrate telemetry signal. However, for large-scale multi-beam phased array systems, there are many receiving channels. If each channel uses two analog-to-digital samplers to sample the high and low bitrate telemetry signals respectively, on the one hand, the broadband analog-to-digital sampler device is costly and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of amplitude and phase, resulting in high cost and difficulty in engineering implementation. On the other hand, the amount of sampled data is huge, and the data transmission and data processing resources are consumed a lot. Summary of the invention

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , a structural schematic diagram of an analog-to-digital hybrid millimeter wave phased array multi-stream telemetry receiving device is provided, and the analog-to-digital hybrid millimeter wave phased array multi-stream telemetry receiving device includes: an array antenna 101, a hybrid receiving and collecting device 102, a target capture and tracking device 103 and a telemetry baseband device 104. Each device is described separately below.
[0060] The array antenna 101 is used to receive telemetry signals radiated by space targets and preprocess the telemetry signals, wherein the telemetry signals include s telemetry signals with different carrier frequencies whose spectra do not overlap with each other; among the telemetry signals with different carrier frequencies whose spectra do not overlap with each other, a narrowband telemetry signal with one carrier frequency is preselected for target capture and tracking, which is recorded as stream 1; the telemetry signals with the remaining (s-1) carrier frequencies except stream 1 are recorded as stream 2, ..., stream s, respectively; wherein s≥2. In one embodiment, the preprocessing of the telemetry signals includes at least: low noise amplification processing, delay processing and attenuation processing.
[0061] In some embodiments, the array antenna 101 may be a millimeter wave array antenna, that is, the telemetry signal received by the array antenna 101 is a millimeter wave telemetry signal, and the millimeter wave array antenna includes m subarrays, each of which is used to preprocess and simulate the received millimeter wave telemetry signal and output one analog synthesized signal; one analog synthesized signal includes s telemetry signals with different carrier frequencies. Please refer to Figure 2 , an example of a subarray in a millimeter wave array antenna is provided, each subarray includes n antenna units 201, n low noise amplifiers (LNA) 202, n adjustable delay lines 203, n first digitally controlled attenuators 204 and 1 n:1 first synthesizer 205, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the antenna units 201, the low noise amplifiers 202, the adjustable delay lines 203 and the first digitally controlled attenuators 204, all antenna units 201 simultaneously receive the millimeter wave telemetry signals (stream 1, stream 2, ..., stream s) radiated by the target, for one antenna unit 201, the millimeter wave telemetry signal it receives is amplified by the corresponding low noise amplifier (LNA) 202, and then by the corresponding adjustable delay line 203 delays the millimeter wave telemetry signal within the working bandwidth supported by the telemetry device to control its phase, and the delay amount is determined by the target acquisition and tracking device. Then the corresponding first digitally controlled attenuator 204 attenuates the telemetry signal after delay to control its amplitude, and the attenuation amount of the attenuation is determined by the target acquisition and tracking device. Finally, the telemetry signals output by the n first digitally controlled attenuators are synthesized by the n:1 first synthesizer 205 to obtain one analog synthesized signal. Thus, the m sub-arrays output a total of m analog synthesized signals; wherein the delay amount of the adjustable delay line 203 and the attenuation value of the first digitally controlled attenuator 204 are both determined by the target acquisition and tracking device. Some working principles of the array antenna 101 are described below.
[0062] According to the beam forming principle of phased array antenna, the beam pointing is recorded as (α0, β0), and the coordinates of a certain antenna unit (0, 0) are taken as the reference point, then the coordinates are ( x i , y j ) The phase shift value of the antenna unit can be expressed as:
[0063] Formula (1);
[0064] Where λ is the wavelength of the received telemetry signal.
[0065] From formula (1), we can see that the phase shift value is not only related to the coordinates of the antenna unit ( x i , y j) and the wavelength λ of the telemetry signal. The signal wavelength λ in the millimeter wave band has a wide range, which means that the phase shift value cannot be represented by a fixed value. Otherwise, dispersion will occur, resulting in beam pointing deviation far away from the center frequency. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention uses an adjustable delay line to replace the traditional phase shifter, and the coordinates are ( x i , y j ) of the antenna unit delay value It can be expressed as:
[0066] Formula (2);
[0067] Where c is the speed of light.
[0068] The coordinates are ( x i , y j The telemetry signal received by the antenna unit is s i,j ( t ), the beam signal formed is:
[0069] Formula (3);
[0070] Among them, the coordinates are ( x i , y j )’s amplitude control value for the telemetry signal received by the antenna unit.
[0071] From formula (2), we can see that the delay value is only related to the coordinates of the antenna unit ( x i , y j ) but has nothing to do with the wavelength λ of the telemetry signal. Therefore, the beam pointing accuracy can be guaranteed within the entire working bandwidth of the telemetry receiving equipment.
[0072] The hybrid receiving and collecting device 102 is used to perform a first processing on stream 1 in the preprocessed telemetry signal, and output an array digital signal of stream 1, which is recorded as a first signal; and to perform a second processing on streams 2 to s in the preprocessed telemetry signal, and output (s-1) synthetic digital signals, which are recorded as second signals.
[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The hybrid receiving and collecting device 102 includes m 1:s splitters 301, a first signal receiving and collecting module 302, (s-1) second signal receiving and collecting modules 303 and a frequency synthesizer 304, which will be described in detail below.
[0074] Each 1:s splitter 301 is used to split one analog synthesis signal into s signals, each signal includes s telemetry signals with different carrier frequencies, and the s signals are respectively sent to the first signal receiving and collecting module and (s-1) second signal receiving and collecting modules to process stream 1, stream 2, ..., stream s respectively. Each 1:s splitter 301 corresponds to a subarray in the array antenna 101, for example, splitter 1 is used to receive a signal output by subarray 1, splitter 2 is used to receive a signal output by subarray 2, ..., splitter m is used to receive a signal output by subarray m.
[0075] The first signal receiving and collecting module 302 is used to perform first processing on stream 1 of the s signals output by each splitter 301 to obtain corresponding m sub-array digital signals; the first signal is composed of the m sub-array digital signals corresponding to stream 1; the first processing at least includes: a first down-conversion processing, a first filtering processing and a first analog-to-digital sampling processing.
[0076] The (s-1) second signal receiving and collecting modules 303 correspond one-to-one to stream 2, ..., stream s in the s signals; each second signal receiving and collecting module 303 is used to perform a second processing on the corresponding 1 signal output by each splitter 301 to obtain an array synthetic digital signal; the second signal is composed of (s-1) array synthetic digital signals; the second processing includes at least: phase shift processing, synthesis processing, second down-conversion processing, second filtering processing and second analog-to-digital sampling processing.
[0077] In some embodiments, the telemetry signal can be divided into s signals after passing through the splitter 301, which can be recorded as the 1st signal, the 2nd signal, ..., and the sth signal. In the above case, each splitter 301 outputs the 1st signal to the first signal receiving and collecting module 302 for processing the pre-selected narrowband telemetry signal (i.e., stream 1), and its carrier frequency is f1; and outputs the 2nd signal, ..., and the sth signal to the corresponding (s-1) second signal receiving and collecting modules 303, respectively, for processing the other (s-1) signals (i.e., stream 2, ..., stream s), and their carrier frequencies are f2, ..., fs. Wherein:
[0078] After receiving the first signal, the first signal receiving and collecting module 302 performs parallel first down-conversion (DC), first filtering, first analog-to-digital sampling and other processing on stream 1 (a total of m signals), and outputs m sub-array digital signals corresponding to stream 1, namely, the first signal.
[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The first signal receiving and collecting module 302 includes: m sub-array signal receiving and collecting units, each sub-array signal receiving and collecting unit includes: a first down-conversion circuit 401, a first filtering circuit 402 and a first analog-to-digital sampling circuit 403, the first down-conversion circuit 401, the first filtering circuit 402 and the first analog-to-digital sampling circuit 403, corresponding to the m channels of signals of stream 1 one by one, wherein:
[0080] The first down-conversion circuit 401 is used to perform a first down-conversion process on stream 1 . The frequency of the local oscillator signal of the first down-conversion process is determined according to the carrier frequency of stream 1 .
[0081] The first filtering circuit 402 is used to perform a first filtering process on the signal after the first down-conversion process, and the bandwidth of the first filtering process is determined according to the bandwidth of stream 1.
[0082] The first analog-to-digital sampling circuit 403 is used to perform a first analog-to-digital sampling process on the filtered signal to obtain a sub-array digital signal, and the sampling rate of the first analog-to-digital sampling is determined according to the bandwidth of the stream 1. In one embodiment, the first analog-to-digital sampling circuit 403 may be a narrowband analog-to-digital sampler.
[0083] The (s-1)th second signal receiving and collecting module 303 receives the corresponding second signal, ..., sth signal, and performs the second processing on stream 2, ..., stream s. For example, the (j-1)th second signal receiving and collecting module 303 receives the jth signal, 2≤j≤s, performs analog phase shifting and synthesis processing on stream j (a total of m signals) to obtain 1 analog signal, and then performs the second down-conversion processing, the second filtering processing and the second analog-to-digital sampling processing on the synthesized 1 analog signal, and outputs an array synthesized digital signal corresponding to stream j. In summary, the (s-1) second signal receiving and collecting modules 303 output a total of (s-1) array synthesized digital signals corresponding to stream 2, ..., stream s, which constitute the second signal.
[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5The second signal receiving and collecting module 303 includes: m phase shifters 501, m second digital controlled attenuators 502, a second synthesizer 503, a second down-conversion circuit 504, a second filtering circuit 505, and a second analog-to-digital sampling circuit 506. Taking stream j as an example, 2≤j≤s, stream j includes m signals. Stream j (m signals) is phase shifted and gain adjusted by the phase shifter 501 and the second digital controlled attenuator 502, and then synthesized into one signal by the second synthesizer 503. The synthesized one signal is processed by the second down-conversion circuit 504, the second filtering circuit 505, and the second analog-to-digital sampling circuit 506 for the second down-conversion, second filtering, and second analog-to-digital sampling to obtain a 1-channel array synthesized digital signal corresponding to stream j. Among them, the frequency of the local oscillator signal processed by the second down-conversion is determined according to the carrier frequency of stream j, the filtering bandwidth of the second filtering is determined according to the bandwidth of stream j, and the sampling rate of the second analog-to-digital sampling is determined according to the bandwidth of stream j.
[0085] It should be noted that, with respect to the settings of the second filtering circuit 505 and the second analog-to-digital sampling circuit 506, when a narrowband filter and a narrowband analog-to-digital sampler are configured, narrowband signals can be received and collected, and when a wideband filter and a wideband analog-to-digital sampler are configured, wideband signals can be received and collected. In some embodiments, when the bandwidth of the telemetry signal of a certain stream is too large and dispersion will occur when a phase shifter is used, an adjustable delay line is used instead of the phase shifter.
[0086] Compared with the first signal receiving and acquiring module 302 which needs to be configured with m first down-conversion circuits 401, m first filtering circuits 402 and m first analog-to-digital sampling circuits 403, the second signal receiving and acquiring module 303 only needs 1 second down-conversion circuit 504, 1 second filtering circuit 505 and 1 second analog-to-digital sampling circuit 506, which can complete the reception and acquisition of one stream of telemetry signals.
