[0057] Specifically, the present invention also provides a flexible and configurable laser communication terminal testing method comprising the following steps:

[0058] S1, Multi-system laser communication modulation

[0059] After the computing module directly obtains data or obtains data through a high-speed data interface, the digital module frames, encodes and scrambles the data according to the preset communication rate, and the generated analog electrical signal is transmitted to the optical module, which performs modulation mapping in the QPSK / BPSK / OOK format according to the preset modulation method to form an emission light; Figure 6 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0060] Step S11, the calculation module or the high-speed data interface module obtains user data and sends it to the digital module;

[0061] Step S12, the digital module selects corresponding interpolation and decimation coefficients according to the preset communication rate, and resamples the data; the resampled symbol data stream is framed at the set rate;

[0062] Step S13, when framing, a specific code group is inserted into the front of the code data stream, and the receiving end determines the start and end positions of the data frame by detecting the specific code group, thereby achieving data frame synchronization;

[0063] Step S14, when the assembly of the data frame is completed, the system fills the time difference information with the 1PPS rising edge time into the ranging frame, and integrates the data frame and the ranging frame into an inter-satellite transmission frame, and then performs coding and scrambling;

[0064] Step S15, during coding and scrambling, the inter-satellite transmission frame is encoded according to a preset coding method; after the coding is completed, in order to ensure the randomness of the data sequence in the communication and prevent the loss of synchronization information or the equalizer from not converging and causing performance degradation, the encoded data is scrambled; the generating polynomial used by the scrambling module is provided by the calculation module, and the scrambled data is subjected to signal modulation processing;

[0065] Step S16, signal modulation processing includes incoherent and coherent modulation modes; signal envelope modulation or frequency phase modulation is performed according to the modulation format set by the calculation module.

[0066] S2, multi-system laser communication demodulation

[0067] After receiving the laser signal, the laser communication terminal test system identifies the modulation format of the received signal and recovers the code element signal; the identified modulation format is divided into coherent processing and incoherent processing. The coherent processing includes carrier capture, ADC sampling, matched filtering, code element synchronization and carrier tracking, and the incoherent processing includes envelope detection, ADC sampling, bandpass filtering, low-pass filtering and sampling decision.

[0068] The recovered symbol signal is then decoded, descrambled, deframed and processed for ranging, and finally the user data and ranging information are extracted and sent to the calculation module or the data and ranging information are sent to the satellite platform through a high-speed data interface; Figure 7 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0069] Step S21, the laser communication terminal test system identifies the modulation format of the received optical signal and sets coherent demodulation parameters or incoherent demodulation parameters;

[0070] Step S22, if it is coherent demodulation, the optical signal is captured and calculated after the mixed data is sampled by the ADC, and the difference between the local oscillator optical frequency of the optical module and the signal optical frequency is determined according to the calculation result; the difference is fed back to the control chip of the optical module to adjust the local oscillator optical frequency; after the carrier is successfully captured, the signal is matched filtered;

[0071] Step S23, the calculation module sets the matching filter coefficient according to the signal rate and bandwidth, selects the useful signal, suppresses various noises and interferences, and performs symbol synchronization on the signal after matching filtering;

[0072] Step S24, during symbol synchronization, after each loop calculation determines the best sampling point of the input data stream, ranging calculation and carrier tracking calculation are performed on the sampled data;

[0073] Step S25, when calculating the distance, first record the 1PPS time when the symbol data is read; then, after the symbol data undergoes carrier tracking, frame synchronization, LDPC decoding and descrambling, and deframing processing, extract the time identification information, and perform inter-satellite pseudo-range measurement;

[0074] Step S26, during carrier tracking, after receiving the data after symbol synchronization, the slight frequency difference between the carriers of the transmitting and receiving ends will be processed; in order to eliminate the influence of carrier deviation on the communication performance of the system, the module further estimates and compensates the carrier frequency; after the carrier tracking process, the symbol will converge to 0 and 1, correcting the frequency deviation of the received signal; at this time, the data will be frame synchronized and decoded;

[0075] Step S27, frame synchronization determines the start and end positions of the frame by identifying the special code group inserted during the previous framing, and extracts the encoded data after the frame header for decoding and descrambling; after descrambling and decoding, the inter-satellite transmission frame is further deframed to generate user data frames and ranging frames; after ranging calculation, the ranging frame is sent to the calculation module for analysis; the user data frame is transmitted to the satellite platform through the high-speed interface module, or directly sent to the calculation module for analysis.

[0076] Step S28, if it is non-coherent demodulation, the data sampled by the ADC of the optical signal is used to detect the amplitude keying signal through an envelope detector to restore the baseband signal;

[0077] Step S29, in the system, the bandpass filter is used to suppress noise, and the sampling decision device improves the receiver performance, thereby effectively recovering the baseband signal; the recovered baseband signal will undergo frame synchronization, decoding and descrambling, deframing and ranging processing to extract user data and ranging information, and send it to the satellite platform for analysis through the high-speed data interface, or transmit it to the computing module for analysis.

[0078] The present invention proposes a flexible and configurable laser communication terminal test system suitable for various environments. The system is adapted to test tasks of laser communication terminals ranging from low bit rate to high bit rate, from incoherent to coherent systems, and different bands. Meanwhile, the influence of the integration of various configurations on the system volume is considered, and an external interface mode is adopted for low reuse rate modules, so that the system size and weight are reduced while ensuring the system integration. Moreover, the same system is jointly tested by terminals of various systems, which is also an inspection of the test equipment itself, so as to achieve the effect of improving the reuse rate and credibility of the test system. The modules of the present invention perform high-speed communication based on a PCIE bus, and the modules all adopt a CPCI architecture. Based on a CPCI industrial control chassis, various test tasks can be completed by combining different modules. The low-speed interface communication test can be completed by a calculation module and an interface module, the high-speed interface communication test can be completed by a calculation module, a clock module, and a digital module, and the high-speed laser communication test and the laser communication ranging test can be completed by a calculation module, a clock module, a digital module, and an optical module. The main control chip of each module supports a program overload function, and a specific test flow can be completed by combining different modules and programs.

A flexible and configurable laser communication terminal test method, applied to a flexible and configurable laser communication terminal test system as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: The flexible and configurable laser communication terminal testing method comprises the following steps: S1, Multi-system laser communication modulation After the computing module directly acquires data or acquires data through a high-speed data interface, the digital module performs frame structuring, encoding and scrambling of the data according to the preset communication rate, and the generated analog electrical signal is transmitted to the optical module, which performs modulation mapping in the QPSK / BPSK / OOK format according to the preset modulation mode to form the transmitted light; S2, multi-system laser communication demodulation After receiving the laser signal, the laser communication terminal test system identifies the modulation format of the received signal and recovers the code element signal; the identified modulation format is divided into coherent processing and incoherent processing. The coherent processing includes carrier capture, ADC sampling, matched filtering, code element synchronization and carrier tracking, and the incoherent processing includes envelope detection, ADC sampling, bandpass filtering, low-pass filtering and sampling decision. The recovered symbol signal is then decoded, descrambled, deframed and processed for ranging, and finally the user data and ranging information are extracted and sent to the computing module or to the satellite platform via a high-speed data interface.
