Description

Technical Field

Background Art

[0002] The orbital phases of aerospace vehicles are divided into boost, cruise and descent phases. In particular, during the boost phase, acceleration can be completed in a short time, and during the cruise phase, it can reach several Machs, with typical high speed and high maneuverability, which makes tracking very difficult. Measurement and control communication is an important remote control and telemetry means for aerospace vehicles, and its directional antenna tracking is one of the key technologies of measurement and control communication. Traditional measurement and control communication mainly adopts different tracking modes such as single pulse, pulse power amplitude, and GPS-assisted, which are suitable for aircraft below Mach 2; but for aircraft above Mach 4, the tracking effect of a single antenna is not good, and it often lags and loses the target. The flight speed and acceleration of aerospace vehicles are large, and the orbital maneuverability is high. When using directional antenna tracking, it is necessary to continuously and accurately correct the antenna pointing to realize the real-time alignment of the main beam of the ground directional antenna with the aerospace vehicle. The comprehensive use of multiple means and the correction of antenna tracking in combination with the vehicle trajectory prediction model are the key problems that need to be solved in the measurement and control directional tracking of aerospace vehicles.

Directional C-link flight parameters are mainly used. The L-link parameters are fitted based on the relative velocity filtering deduction. The L-link parameters correct the C-link deduction filter loop parameters.

[0085] S1.2.2.3 Descent phase: The aircraft is far away, the relative speed changes little, the attitude changes greatly, and the antenna shielding is seriously affected.

[0090] The coordinate transformation described in S1.4 mainly converts the parameters generated by the aircraft posture parameter analysis component and the chain-controlled vehicle posture parameter analysis component into a unified coordinate system based on a time reference. The time reference is the aircraft time information, and the unified earth coordinate system is WGS84.

[0106] S2.2.3.1 Calculate the current horizontal angle based on the horizontal component of the current relative position, with the mapping interval being 0 to 360°, and taking the value modulo 360 if it exceeds 360°;

[0107] S2.2.3.2 Calculate the current vertical component angle based on the earth coordinates. The mapping interval is -45° to 90°. If it is lower than -45°, take the value -45°. If it is greater than 90°, take the value 90°. At the same time, the current horizontal angle is flipped 180°.

[0108] The flight trajectory prediction processing described in S2.3 generates the vertical and horizontal angle information of the directional antenna pointing at the next moment based on the horizontal and vertical angles, transmission delay and relative speed parameters of the current aircraft.

[0110] S2.3.2 Generate the horizontal and vertical angle intervals for the directional antenna to point to at the next moment based on the horizontal and vertical angle intervals generated by the aircraft trajectory prediction.

[0111] S2.3.3 Convert the horizontal and vertical angle intervals of the directional antenna pointing at the next moment into the horizontal and vertical control information of the directional antenna, and record the acceleration information A0 and A1 of the chain-controlled vehicle and the aircraft.

[0112] S2.3.4 The predicted position information of the aircraft at the next moment satisfies the following formula:

[0113] Aircraft predicted position: F0′=ΔT*∫A0(ΔT) is the transmission change delay update frequency time;

[0114] S2.3.5 The predicted horizontal and vertical angles of the directional antenna pointing at the next moment satisfy the following formula:

[0115] Predicted vertical angle:

[0116] Predicted horizontal angle:

[0117] S2.4 The flight trajectory constellation is updated, and the flight trajectory information is updated according to the parameters generated by the flight trajectory prediction process and the predicted aircraft position information is passed to the antenna parameter dynamic adjustment module.

[0118] S2.4.1 Based on the predicted horizontal and vertical angles of the aircraft and the transmission delay and other parameters at the next moment, the trajectory prediction center is calculated with the current transmission delay, and the trajectory prediction interval is calculated with the transmission delay variation range. The angle delay information of the prediction interval at the previous moment in the constellation diagram and the actual trajectory information at the current moment are updated, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0119] S2.4.2 Calculate the predicted trajectory range of the two-dimensional constellation diagram at the next moment based on the predicted position information;

[0120] S2.4.3 Based on the flight speed and transmission delay of the aircraft and the speed of the linked controlled vehicle, predict the flight trajectory interval of the aircraft in the directional antenna pointing to the two-dimensional constellation diagram at the next moment;

[0121] S2.4.4 passes the predicted delay, predicted rate and predicted constellation to the antenna parameter dynamic adjustment module.

[0122] S3: Antenna parameter dynamic adjustment module

[0123] The antenna parameter dynamic adjustment module described in S3.1 includes the tracking interval origin setting, directional antenna pointing calculation and high-precision antenna tracking. Based on the two-dimensional constellation diagram of the predicted trajectory, the antenna tracking window further establishes the tracking window constraint to accurately predict the antenna pointing at the next time according to parameters such as the current antenna rotation rate, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0124] S3.2 The tracking interval setting rule is to use the actual direction of the current directional antenna as the center of the interval, that is, the center point of the sliding window, and the transmission delay and rate range as the interval size, that is, to determine the range of the sliding window. Setting principle: horizontally, the horizontal angle of the current direction of the directional antenna is the horizontal 0 point, the vertical angle of the current direction of the directional antenna is the vertical 0 point, and the maximum value of the horizontal and vertical angle adjustment interval of the directional antenna at the next moment is the maximum horizontal and vertical range of the sliding window.

[0125] The directional antenna pointing calculation described in S3.3 dynamically adjusts the distance range between the predicted interval and the actual pointing origin according to the calculated aircraft distance information. The faster the speed and the farther the distance, the larger the predicted trajectory range, and the farther the predicted adjusted directional antenna pointing tracking interval is from the current origin. The specific calculation is as follows:

[0126] Directional antenna predicts and adjusts beam angle:

[0127]

[0128] S3.4 High-precision antenna tracking

[0129] The dynamic adjustment module can roughly estimate the tracking interval range based on the predicted parameters, estimate the directional antenna position information based on the directional antenna pointing information of the dual-frequency information and the servo rotation rate, and further accurately calculate the directional antenna control information based on the directional antenna pointing information, servo rotation rate, command delay, etc., and calculate and set the directional antenna horizontal angle, vertical angle and servo rate.

[0130] The S4 antenna tracking performance monitoring module monitors the received power of the C-link directional antenna, which reflects the performance of the antenna pointing and flight trajectory prediction algorithm under certain conditions of distance and attitude: if the trajectory prediction is accurate, the main lobe of the C-link directional antenna points to the aircraft, and the received power of the C-link directional antenna is large; if the trajectory prediction is inaccurate, the main lobe of the C-link directional antenna points away from the aircraft, and the received power of the C-link directional antenna is small. Therefore, under the condition of accurate flight trajectory prediction, the received power of the C-link directional antenna tends to change smoothly, and the power variance is small.

The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
