Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a lightweight scattering communication-in-motion device. Background Art

[0002] Tropospheric scatter communication is a beyond-line-of-sight communication method that utilizes the forward scattering of radio waves by scatterers in the tropospheric atmosphere. It is capable of resisting detection, interception, and interference, and boasts advantages such as high communication capacity and all-day usability. Scatter communication technology continues to evolve, with the application of various scattering schemes such as spatial diversity, time diversity, and frequency diversity. It has gradually evolved from the old small-capacity, dual-antenna scheme to the new large-capacity, single-antenna waveform. Technologies such as adaptive transmission and frequency hopping are gradually being applied in scatter communication, significantly expanding scatter communication capabilities and laying the foundation for scatter communication in motion. Faced with the growing demand for communication in motion, current scatter communication equipment is primarily used on the ground, and lightweight scatter communication in motion devices are still unavailable. The application scenarios of communication in motion dictate that the equipment must be lightweight to facilitate its installation on moving vehicles and ships.

Once the communication link is established, it tracks the communication direction in real time and can adapt to changes in the variable parameter channel, achieving rate and power adaptation, enabling the device to meet the requirements of CSM scenarios.

The sent service information and business information, etc., are sent to the modulation and demodulation 12 for baseband modulation and converted into an intermediate frequency signal after the business processing 11. The intermediate frequency signal then enters the agile frequency converter 13, is converted into the required RF signal, and is sent to the power amplifier unit 2.
