Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of very low frequency communication technology, and more specifically, to a portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement platform, method, industrial control computer, computer-readable storage medium and computer program product. Background Art

[0002] Low-frequency electromagnetic waves have stable propagation and low attenuation, and are widely used in long-distance navigation and communication. Very low frequency (VLF) refers to electromagnetic waves with a frequency band from 3KHz to 30KHz, which are mainly used for communication and command of long-distance underwater targets. In order to effectively radiate very low frequency electromagnetic waves, vertically erected antennas are usually used.

[0003] Radiation efficiency is one of the most important parameters of a very low frequency transmitting antenna. At present, a standard field strength meter is usually used to measure the ground wave field strength at a distance of 20km-60km from the transmitting antenna, and then the radiation efficiency is calculated based on the theoretical formula.

[0004] The current method for measuring the radiation efficiency of very low frequency transmitting antennas has the following problems:

[0005] (1) The antenna has a great influence on the measurement results. Currently, the antennas configured with the field strength meter mainly include loop antennas and whip antennas. According to antenna theory, loop antennas have obvious directivity in the low frequency band, and their maximum receiving direction is the plane where the loop surface is located. Therefore, when using the loop antenna for measurement, it is necessary to manually adjust the direction of the loop antenna first, and judge whether the maximum receiving direction of the loop antenna is aligned with the incoming wave direction of the low-frequency signal by reading the field strength on the field strength meter. During this adjustment process, in order to reduce the influence of human factors on the loop antenna, each time the direction is adjusted, the person must move away from the loop antenna before reading and recording the field strength. The process is cumbersome and requires at least two people to cooperate to complete the measurement task well. In addition, although the whip antenna is non-directional, in order to ensure the accuracy of the received signal, it is usually necessary to configure the whip antenna with a metal plate (aluminum plate) with a radius of at least about 1m to ensure good grounding conditions, which makes the entire measurement equipment bulky. At the same time, considering that the whip antenna is more susceptible to the surrounding electromagnetic environment, loop antennas are usually used for field strength measurement.

[0006] (2) Due to the influence of the electromagnetic environment, there will always be certain fluctuations in the readings of the field strength meter during measurement. It is difficult to grasp certain rules when manually reading and recording. Usually, multiple readings and records are required, which is a cumbersome process and there is also a certain risk of misreading or missing.

[0007] (3) When measuring radiation efficiency, current measurement platforms or equipment do not have the function of directly giving the radiation efficiency. Instead, it needs to be calculated based on the field strength according to the following formula:

[0008]

[0009] Where η is the radiation efficiency of the antenna, E z is the field strength measured at the measuring point, r is the straight-line distance between the measuring point and the transmitting antenna, P in is the input power of the transmitting antenna. Therefore, to deduce the radiation efficiency, it is also necessary to calculate the measurement distance and the input power of the antenna.

[0010] Therefore, the current method for measuring the radiation efficiency of a very low frequency transmitting antenna has problems such as low measurement efficiency and multiple operating procedures. Summary of the invention

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0045] The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement platform is provided, including a very low frequency receiving antenna, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) antenna, a digital down-conversion receiver, a GNSS receiver, an industrial control computer, and a turntable (also called an electronic compass). The industrial control computer is respectively connected to the digital down-conversion receiver, the GNSS receiver, and the turntable.

[0047] Preferably, the digital down-conversion receiver, the GNSS receiver, and the industrial control computer are all placed in a triple-proof chassis.

[0048] The triple-proof chassis is waterproof, moisture-proof, and smoke-proof. By placing the digital down-conversion receiver, GNSS receiver, and industrial control computer in the triple-proof chassis, the stability of the portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement platform can be improved.

[0049] The very low frequency receiving antenna is used as a receiving point to receive low frequency electromagnetic field signals.

[0050] The digital down-conversion receiver is connected to the very low frequency receiving antenna and is used for receiving the low frequency electromagnetic field signal radiated by the very low frequency transmitting antenna.

[0051] The GNSS antenna is used as a receiving point to collect the longitude and latitude of the receiving point, that is, the longitude and latitude of the very low frequency receiving antenna. The GNSS antenna is an active antenna with active components such as a low noise amplifier and a filter. The GNSS antenna is preferably placed at a certain distance from the very low frequency receiving antenna to avoid large measurement errors caused by the distance.

[0052] The GNSS receiver is connected to the GNSS antenna and is used to receive the longitude and latitude of the receiving point collected by the GNSS antenna.

[0053] The VLF receiving antenna uses a magnetic loop antenna. A magnetic loop antenna is an antenna that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to receive and transmit signals. Its structure consists of a small-sized magnetic rod and multiple coils wrapped around the magnetic rod. Compared with a general loop antenna, the size of a magnetic loop antenna is smaller.

[0054] The turntable is used to place and support one or at least two very low frequency receiving antennas to detect low frequency electromagnetic fields in different directions and locate the direction of maximum signal strength (i.e., the direction corresponding to the maximum field strength of the receiving point). Specifically, the direction of the turntable can be controlled by an industrial computer through a control circuit or manually.

[0055] The turntable is equipped with a tripod and an antenna tooling mounting frame. The battery pack installed in the industrial computer can meet the field power supply requirements of all equipment in the entire system.

[0056] The portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement platform realizes the maximum field strength positioning of the very low frequency receiving antenna (i.e., the maximum field strength of the receiving point) through a turntable; realizes the automatic collection of the longitude and latitude of the receiving point through a GNSS antenna and a GNSS receiver; and, by adopting a magnetic loop antenna as the very low frequency receiving antenna, the platform has good portability due to the small size of the magnetic loop antenna.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, a portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement method is provided, which is applied to the above-mentioned portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement platform. The method is executed by an industrial control computer and includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 201, obtaining a low frequency electromagnetic field signal radiated by a very low frequency transmitting antenna;

[0059] Step 202, obtaining a GNSS reception message, where the GNSS reception message mainly includes the latitude and longitude of the receiving point;

[0060] Step 203, based on the low-frequency electromagnetic field signal, obtaining the maximum field strength of the receiving point, the longitude and latitude of the transmitting point, and the input power;

[0061] Step 204, calculating the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point based on the longitude and latitude of the transmitting point and the longitude and latitude of the receiving point;

[0062] Step 205, when the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point meets the preset conditions, the radiation efficiency of the very low frequency transmitting antenna is calculated according to the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point, the maximum field strength of the receiving point and the input power of the transmitting point.

[0063] In the above-mentioned portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement method, the industrial control computer calculates the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point based on the longitude and latitude of the very low frequency transmitting antenna and the longitude and latitude of the receiving point, and then calculates the radiation efficiency of the very low frequency transmitting antenna, thereby being able to realize automatic and accurate measurement of the radiation efficiency of the very low frequency transmitting antenna, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the measurement efficiency of the radiation efficiency of the very low frequency transmitting antenna.

[0064] In one embodiment, the steps for measuring the radiation efficiency of the VLF transmitting antenna are as follows:

[0065] When the acquisition starts, the industrial computer controls the GNSS receiver and the digital down-conversion receiver to start acquisition, and simultaneously collects the RF signal and the GNSS receiving message (including the latitude and longitude of the receiving point), and stores the data in a packaged manner in the hard disk.

[0066] The turntable rotates 180°, and the industrial computer records the magnitude of the electromagnetic field signal measured in different directions, and locates the direction of the maximum signal by finding the maximum value (i.e., the maximum field strength at the receiving point). According to the maximum incoming wave direction (i.e., the direction corresponding to the maximum field strength at the receiving point), the industrial computer adjusts the turntable to the maximum direction through the control circuit to ensure that the measured signal field strength is always the maximum value E. z .

[0067] The GNSS antenna is used to receive position information and automatically record the longitude and latitude (Rx, Ry) of the receiving point. The longitude and latitude (Tx, Ty) of the VLF transmitting antenna can be obtained by inputting the location information of the VLF transmitting antenna or searching historical data.

[0068] Use the Haversine formula to calculate the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point:

[0069]

[0070] Where Tx is the longitude of the transmitting point, Rx is the longitude of the receiving point, Ty is the latitude of the transmitting point, and Ry is the latitude of the receiving point.

[0071] According to the low-frequency electromagnetic wave propagation theory, the field strength point for measuring the efficiency of very low frequency antennas should be selected in the ground wave area and the single-mode area, because the radio wave working mode in this area is simple, which makes it easy to calculate the efficiency based on the measured field strength. In other areas, the radio wave working mode is complex, the field strength varies with the distance, and the field strength calculation is complex, making it difficult to calculate the efficiency based on the field strength measurement value. That is, the measurement point should be selected in the ground wave area less than 100km and more than 20km away from the transmitter or in the single-mode area more than 4000km away. The best measurement distance is recommended to be about 20-60km. When the measurement distance is greater than 100km, the influence of the ionosphere will increase. When the measurement distance is less than 20km, the field strength contains the induction field component, which affects the measurement accuracy.

[0072] The calculated distance r is compared with 20-60km. When r<20km or r>60km, the industrial control computer prompts through the measurement interface and selects a new measurement point for measurement.

[0073] When the distance between the measuring points meets the requirements (that is, the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point meets the preset conditions, such as r<20km or r>60km) and the direction of the maximum signal wave is found through the turntable, the field strength is measured and the industrial control computer calculates the radiation efficiency corresponding to each measurement through the following formula.

[0074]

[0075] Where η is the radiation efficiency of the VLF transmitting antenna, r is the distance between the transmitting point and the receiving point, and E z is the maximum field strength at the receiving point, P in is the input power at the transmitting point.

[0076] The data are recorded according to certain rules, as shown in Table 1.

[0077] Table 1

[0078]

[0079] A portable VLF radiation efficiency measurement platform and method provided in this embodiment can realize automatic, fast and accurate measurement of the radiation efficiency of a very low frequency transmitting antenna, and has good portability.

[0080] The present application also provides an industrial control computer. The internal structure diagram of the industrial control computer can be as follows: Figure 3As shown. The industrial computer includes a processor, a memory, an input / output interface, a communication interface, a display unit and an input device. The processor, the memory and the input / output interface are connected through a system bus, and the communication interface, the display unit and the input device are connected to the system bus through the input / output interface.
