Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a satellite-to-ground linkage radio monitoring system and method based on a low-orbit satellite. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, radio applications and radio communications have become indispensable in our daily lives. Currently, a large number of satellite-based radio monitoring systems exist, including the US White Cloud series, SB-WAAS, Russian Lotus series, Russian Peony series, French Swarm, Hawkeye 360, Kleos Space, and Unseenlabs. These systems primarily utilize low-orbit satellite platforms, approximately 500-1000 km above the ground, to provide spectrum situational awareness and locate signal emitters. These systems, such as the US White Cloud, SB-WAAS, Russian Lotus, and Russian Peony series, have payloads ranging from 600-7000 kg and utilize positioning methods such as three-satellite time-frequency difference positioning, two-satellite time-frequency difference positioning, and single-satellite interferometry direction finding, achieving positioning accuracies of up to 1 km. They integrate multiple missions, including radar monitoring, communications, measurement and control, and navigation, and also offer optical imaging and synthetic aperture imaging capabilities. The satellite-based radio monitoring systems of France's Swarm, Hawkeye 360, Kleos Space, and Unseenlabs are characterized by miniaturization, about 500km from the ground, with a payload mass of 6-50kg. They have relatively simple functions and mainly complete electromagnetic spectrum situational awareness of ground radio signals and signal source positioning. They mainly use the three-star time-frequency difference for positioning, with a positioning accuracy of less than 3km and limited frequency coverage.

[0003] However, the current mature satellite-based radio monitoring systems mainly target terrestrial radio signals, mainly covering maritime radio systems and land radio systems, with limited frequency coverage. They do not consider the monitoring of signals from satellite radio systems such as satellite communication systems and satellite navigation systems, as well as other new frequency band signals, and cannot cover Ka-band and Ku-band satellite communication signals.

[0004] Furthermore, with the development of low-orbit satellite constellations, some studies have proposed using them to monitor the signals of satellite radio systems. For example, Chinese patent publication CN110794425A, entitled "A Navigation Augmentation System Based on Low-orbit Constellation Monitoring GNSS Signals and Broadcasting GNSS Frequency Band Navigation Augmentation Signals," discloses a navigation augmentation system that utilizes a low-orbit satellite constellation to receive GNSS signals, obtain positioning results, analyze correction parameters such as the GNSS signal's orbit, clock error, code deviation, and carrier phase deviation, and broadcast information to complete the navigation augmentation task. However, this system only analyzes and compiles statistics on the signal reception performance and tracking parameters of satellite navigation signals, and does not consider the linkage between the low-orbit satellite constellation and the ground, or radio monitoring of other satellite systems, resulting in poor monitoring efficiency.

[0039] The low-orbit satellite-based ground-linked radio monitoring system provided by an embodiment of the present invention deploys a radio monitoring payload 1 on the low-orbit satellite and a radio monitoring data processing module 2 on the ground station. The radio monitoring payload 1 is used to monitor satellite radio system signals and other frequency band signals, and the signal data is simultaneously transmitted to the ground station.

The system can fully integrate on-board processing capabilities and ground processing capabilities to realize ground-linked radio monitoring, significantly improve the flexibility and efficiency of radio monitoring, and can realize the monitoring of multiple frequency band signals including satellite radio system signals.

[0040] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the low-orbit satellite-based satellite-ground linkage radio monitoring system can operate in the following manner:

[0041] The operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored are determined in advance and sent to the radio monitoring data processing module 2. The radio monitoring data processing module 2 determines the theoretical operating orbit of the low-orbit satellite when performing the radio monitoring task based on the operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored, generates a radio monitoring task including theoretical operating orbit information, the operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored, and sends it to the ground station, so that the ground station can inject the radio monitoring task into the low-orbit satellite used to perform the radio monitoring task; after receiving the radio monitoring task, the low-orbit satellite moves to the theoretical operating orbit and sends the radio monitoring task to the radio monitoring payload 1 deployed thereon, and the radio monitoring payload 1 performs beam tracking of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored based on the received radio monitoring task, monitors and collects signals of the L-band, Ka-band, Ku-band, X-band, C-band, and S-band, performs coarse processing on the signals to obtain signal data including signal strength, signal frequency, bandwidth, and modulation mode, and sends the signal data to the low-orbit satellite so that the low-orbit satellite can adjust its own position and the beam pointing of the radio monitoring payload 1, and processes the signal data. After the signal data is time-space marked, it is sent to the low-orbit satellite so that the low-orbit satellite sends the signal data to the ground station. After receiving the signal data, the ground station sends the signal data to the radio monitoring data processing module 2. The radio monitoring data processing module 2 performs precise processing on the received signal data and associates the signal data with the time-space information to obtain the operating orbit, beam coverage, and radio electromagnetic situation of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored. After obtaining the operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored, the radio monitoring data processing module 2 determines the theoretical operating orbit of the low-orbit satellite when performing the radio monitoring mission based on the latest operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored, generates a radio monitoring mission including the theoretical operating orbit information, the operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored, and sends it to the ground station so that the ground station injects the updated radio monitoring mission into the low-orbit satellite used to perform the radio monitoring mission, so that the low-orbit satellite and the radio monitoring payload 1 deployed thereon perform subsequent actions according to the updated radio monitoring mission. The above-mentioned satellite-ground linkage closed-loop feedback monitoring process is repeated until the monitoring is completed.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific processing methods of the coarse signal processing and the fine signal processing are set according to actual needs. For example, the coarse signal processing includes Fourier transform and high-order statistics.

[0047] The signal comprehensive processing module 14 is respectively connected to the L-band receiving phased array 11, the Ka / Ku-band receiving phased array 12, the XCS-band antenna 13, the satellite service computer on the low-orbit satellite, and the communication payload on the low-orbit satellite. It is used to perform beam tracking of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored according to the received radio monitoring task, perform coarse processing on the collected signals to obtain signal data including signal strength, signal frequency, bandwidth and modulation mode, send the signal data to the low-orbit satellite so that the low-orbit satellite can adjust its own position, adjust the beam pointing of the L-band receiving phased array 11, adjust the beam pointing of the Ka / Ku-band receiving phased array 12 and adjust the beam pointing of the XCS-band antenna 13, and perform time and space marking on the signal data before sending it to the low-orbit satellite so that the low-orbit satellite can send the signal data to the ground station.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, to achieve the aforementioned functions of the signal integration processing module 14, improve the integration level of the radio monitoring payload 1, and reduce the area, power consumption, and cost of the radio monitoring payload 1, the signal integration processing module 14 adopts an integrated "FPGA + ARM" structure. Based on the functions required by the signal integration processing module 14, the corresponding processing program is pre-loaded into the FPGA chip and ARM processor in the signal integration processing module 14. When the functions of the signal integration processing module 14 need to be adjusted, a corresponding program is designed on the ground end based on the required functions, and the program data is uploaded to the communication payload of the low-orbit satellite, so that the communication payload can send the uploaded data to the signal integration processing module 14 for online program reconstruction of the signal integration processing module 14.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, in an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the radio monitoring data processing module 2 is deployed on the cloud platform of the ground station, specifically constructed using the cloud platform of the ground station, and the radio monitoring data processing module 2 includes:

[0052] By setting up the task planning unit 21 and the radio monitoring processing unit 22 to respectively carry out the planning of the radio monitoring task and the processing of the radio monitoring data, interference of different data can be avoided, the efficiency of task planning and data processing can be improved, and the efficiency of radio monitoring can be further improved.

Feedback adjustment is performed on the low-orbit satellite position and the beam pointing of the radio monitoring payload 1 according to the obtained signal strength until the obtained signal strength reaches a maximum. After completing the feedback adjustment of the low-orbit satellite position and the beam pointing of the radio monitoring payload 1, the collected signals are coarsely processed to obtain signal data including signal strength, signal frequency, bandwidth, and modulation mode. The obtained signal data is time-space marked and sent to the low-orbit satellite so that the low-orbit satellite can send the signal data to the ground station.

[0056] Step 3: Use the radio monitoring data processing module 2 to perform precise processing on the received signal data and associate the signal data with the spatiotemporal information to obtain the orbit, beam coverage, and radio electromagnetic situation of the satellite radio system to be monitored;

[0057] Step 4: Determine the theoretical operating orbit of the low-orbit satellite when performing the radio monitoring mission based on the obtained operating orbit and beam coverage of the radio system of the satellite to be monitored.
