BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments recorded in the embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a satellite communication antenna measurement and control method according to an embodiment of the present application;

[0048] Figure 2 This is a block diagram of a satellite communication antenna measurement and control system according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The present application is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, and the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] See also Figure 1 The present application provides an embodiment of a satellite communication antenna measurement and control method, which includes:

[0051] The test scenario registration module can flexibly register different test scenarios according to test needs, mainly module testing, whole machine testing, and system testing; the state control registration module can flexibly register different state control methods according to different test scenarios; the state monitoring registration module can flexibly register different state monitoring objects according to different scenarios. The embodiment of the present application can integrate the test scenarios of the satellite communication antenna module level, whole machine level, and system level, realize flexible switching of test scenarios, and avoid the application and management of multiple test software and test methods.

[0052] In the development process of satellite communication antennas, multiple module tests are usually involved, generally including main control module test, receiving module test and transmitting module test (the control chip and communication interface of each module are different). At present, designers and testers can generally only test them through existing serial port tools or network port tools, etc. However, the above tools are used to design complex test cases, which greatly reduces the test efficiency, and each module may require a separate tool for testing, which makes the version management easy to get out of control due to the large number of test tools. Therefore, in response to the above problems, the embodiment of the present application designs a communication interface adapter module, which is compatible with but not limited to ARM, DSP, FPGA, single-chip microcomputer and other chips (the control chip of the satellite communication antenna mostly uses ARM, DSP, FPGA, single-chip microcomputer) Communication), so the embodiment of the present application can switch different communication interfaces through the communication interface adapter module to complete the test tasks of different modules of the satellite communication antenna.

[0053] For the system test mode, the embodiment of the present application can determine whether to establish a communication connection with the satellite communication antenna according to whether the aircraft is on the ground. When the aircraft is on the ground, a communication connection can be established with the satellite communication antenna and state control and state monitoring can be performed; when the aircraft is in the air, a communication connection cannot be established with the satellite communication antenna to prevent the aircraft from being miscontrolled while flying in the air, affecting the flight safety of the aircraft and the communication quality of the satellite communication antenna;

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application includes a satellite communication antenna test scenario registration module, a state control registration module, a state monitoring registration module, a working mode switching module and a communication interface adaptation module, wherein the test scenario registration module is mainly used to register different test scenarios, mainly module testing, whole machine testing and system testing; the state control registration module is mainly used to complete the registration of the satellite communication antenna state control method according to the agreed communication protocol; the state monitoring registration module is mainly used to register the objects that need to be monitored during the test process; the working mode switching module is mainly used to switch the working scenarios registered in the test scenario registration module: module testing, whole machine testing and system testing; the communication interface adaptation module is mainly used to provide the underlying communication interface with different chips to ensure that the embodiment of the present application can complete the test tasks of different modules in the satellite communication antenna.

[0055] The specific workflow is as follows:

[0056] First, the method of the embodiment of the present application is divided into three working modes, such as Figure 2 As shown, they are module test mode, whole machine test mode and system test mode respectively. The three working modes can be switched arbitrarily through the working mode switching module.

[0057] (1)Module test mode:

[0058] In the module test mode (generally including the main control module test, the receiving module test and the transmitting module test), the state control registration module of the embodiment of the present application registers relevant commands such as power control commands, parameter control commands and periodic self-test commands, and the state monitoring registration module registers the power state, communication link state, device working state and configuration parameters. During the module test process, the control command in the state control registration module and the state data fed back by the module to the state monitoring registration module can be used to determine whether the module is working normally:

[0059] A1) Selecting a suitable interface to communicate with the module through the interface adapter module;

[0060] B1) Send parameter control commands and periodic self-test commands to the module through the state control registration module, and judge whether the module working parameters are consistent with the parameters in the parameter control command according to the periodic self-test results fed back by the module to the state monitoring registration module;

[0061] C1) Sending a power switch command and a periodic self-test command to the module through the state control registration module, according to the periodic self-test result fed back by the module to the state monitoring registration module, if the power switch state is consistent with the power voltage state (i.e., the power is turned on and there is a correct voltage value, the power is turned off and there is no voltage value), the power state is normal, and the power state warning light is set to green; otherwise, it is abnormal, and the power state warning light is set to red;

[0062] D1) Similarly, according to the relevant status judgment conditions, it can be judged whether other working states (communication link state, device working state, etc.) and working parameters of the module are normal. If there is an abnormality, the status warning light is set to red to prompt relevant personnel to perform maintenance.

[0063] (2) Whole machine test mode:

[0064] In the whole machine test mode, the state control registration module of the embodiment of the present application registers relevant commands such as beam frequency pointing polarization control command, local oscillator control command, automatic satellite search command, configuration query command and periodic self-test command. The state monitoring registration module registers the module working state ((1) the state described in the module test mode), antenna working parameters (transmitting frequency, receiving frequency, local oscillator frequency, beam pointing, polarization state, module temperature, signal-to-noise ratio data) and device version information. During the whole machine test process, it can be judged whether the whole machine is working normally by sending the control command in the state control registration module and the state data fed back by the whole machine to the state monitoring registration module:

[0065] A2) Selecting a suitable interface to communicate with the whole machine through the interface adapter module;

[0066] B2) Sending beam frequency pointing polarization control commands, local oscillator control commands and periodic self-test commands to the transmitting and receiving antennas through the state control registration module, and judging whether the transmitting frequency, receiving frequency, local oscillator frequency, beam pointing and polarization state in the antenna operating parameters are consistent with the parameters in the beam frequency pointing polarization control command according to the periodic self-test results fed back by the whole machine to the state monitoring registration module;

[0067] C2) After executing the automatic satellite search command in the state control registration module, the state control registration module periodically adjusts the beam pointing and sends the beam frequency pointing polarization control command to the receiving antenna every 10ms. According to the periodic self-test result fed back to the state monitoring registration module by the whole machine, the beam pointing corresponding to the maximum signal-to-noise ratio data in the antenna working parameters is returned, which greatly improves the satellite pointing efficiency of the whole machine when it does not have its own inertial navigation, and avoids the situation where the test personnel blindly manually configure the receiving antenna to achieve satellite pointing;

[0068] D2) Sending configuration query commands to each module through the state control registration module, judging whether the software and hardware version information of each module in the whole machine is consistent with the controlled version according to the device version information fed back to the state monitoring registration module by the whole machine;

[0069] As described in (1) Module Test Mode, based on the periodic self-test results fed back to the status monitoring registration module by the whole machine, when there is an abnormality in the module status, an alarm should be given through the status warning light to prompt relevant personnel to perform maintenance.

[0070] (3) System test mode:

[0071] In the system test mode, the state control registration module of the embodiment of the present application registers the data source selection command, the beam frequency pointing polarization control command, the local oscillator control command and the periodic self-test command. The state monitoring registration module registers the module working state ((1) the state described in the module test mode), the satellite modem configuration parameters (local oscillator frequency, intermediate frequency, polarization state), and the antenna working parameters (transmitting frequency, receiving frequency, local oscillator frequency, beam pointing, polarization state, power detection value EIRP, module temperature, signal-to-noise ratio data). During the system test process, the control command in the state control registration module and the state data fed back by the antenna device to the state monitoring registration module can be used to determine whether the antenna device is working normally:

[0072] A3) selecting a suitable interface to communicate with the antenna device through the interface adaptation module;

[0073] B3) judging whether the satellite modem configuration parameters are consistent with the antenna operating parameters according to the periodic self-test results fed back to the status monitoring registration module by the antenna device;

[0074] C3) According to the periodic self-test result fed back by the antenna device to the status monitoring registration module, the beam pointing calculated by the satellite tracking algorithm in the antenna working parameters is recorded, and a data source selection command is sent to the antenna device through the status control registration module. The source of the beam pointing of the antenna device is the beam frequency pointing polarization control command of the status control registration module instead of the satellite tracking algorithm. The beam pointing of the receiving antenna is manually adjusted around the above-mentioned recorded beam pointing through the beam frequency pointing polarization control command of the status control registration module, and then according to the signal-to-noise ratio data fed back by the antenna device to the status monitoring registration module through the periodic self-test, it is judged whether the beam pointing calculated by the satellite tracking algorithm is the best pointing (i.e., the signal-to-noise ratio data is the largest);

[0075] As described in (1) Module test mode, based on the periodic self-test results fed back by the antenna equipment to the status monitoring registration module, when the module status is abnormal, an alarm should be given through the status warning light to prompt relevant personnel to perform maintenance;

[0076] Safety assurance: When the aircraft is in the air, the communication connection with the antenna equipment is actively disconnected to prevent the aircraft from being miscontrolled while flying in the air, affecting the flight safety of the aircraft and the communication quality of the satellite communication antenna.

The state control registration module is used to register different state control methods according to different test scenarios. The state monitoring registration module is used to register different state monitoring objects according to different test scenarios.
