DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of the steps of a method for calibrating the reflection channel gain provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps: Step S101, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, obtaining the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver, the gain deviation value being the deviation caused by the actual AD sampling value; In practical applications, the preset simulator can be used to generate simulated signals to input the simulated signals into the occultation receiver. The occultation receiver receives signals from low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites, measures the refraction and delay of the signals when passing through the earth's atmosphere, and thus inverts atmospheric parameters (such as temperature, pressure, humidity) and ionospheric electron density.

[0020] Under the simulator connection conditions, the actual sampling value of the AD (analog-to-digital converter) may introduce a deviation value of the receiver gain. This phenomenon is usually related to hardware characteristics, nonlinearity of the signal processing link, and interface matching between the simulator and the receiver. Among them, the simulator connection conditions refer to the connection method and parameter settings between the simulator and the receiver in the test or simulation environment. These conditions directly affect the signal transmission quality and the performance of the receiver.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver can be calibrated. The gain deviation value is the deviation caused by the actual AD sampling value and is a known quantity.

[0022] Step S102, obtaining a target signal power value in a reflection channel inputted from a preset simulator to an occultation receiver; The preset simulator can generate a simulation signal and input the generated simulation signal into the reflection channel of the occultation receiver to simulate the on-orbit state of the occultation receiver. In an embodiment of the present invention, the target signal power value of the simulation signal can be calibrated in advance. After the calibration is completed, the target signal power value is known data, and the reflection channel gain calibration can be implemented based on the target signal power value.

[0023] Step S103, receiving the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel; After the analog signal is input into the reflection channel, it is processed by the reflection channel and the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel can be received.

[0024] Step S104, determining the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value based on the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power.

[0025] After obtaining the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power, the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value can be determined by combining the relationship between the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power and the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value. Among them, in the relationship between the gain deviation value, the target signal power value, the DDM noise power and the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value, the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power are all known data, and only the target gain is an unknown data, so a set of gain deviation values, target signal power values ​​and DDM noise power can calculate the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value.

[0026] The target sampling value may be a value set according to the scenario, such as AD13.5.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the specific process of step S104 is: determining the quotient of the DDM noise power and the target signal power value; and determining the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value based on the difference between the quotient and the gain deviation value.

[0028] Target gain = DDM noise power / target signal power value - gain deviation value.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, after determining the target gain, the error of the occultation receiver can be corrected based on the target gain, so that the correction result can be applied to the inversion of on-orbit data, further improving the inversion accuracy of the on-orbit application.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a preset simulator is under preset connection conditions, a gain deviation value of the occultation receiver is obtained, wherein the gain deviation value is a deviation caused by an actual AD sampling value; a target signal power value in a reflection channel input from the preset simulator to the occultation receiver is obtained; the DDM noise power output from the reflection channel is received; and based on the gain deviation value, the target signal power value, and the DDM noise power, the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value is determined. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the reflection channel gain is calibrated, and a new error correction method is provided to further improve the data inversion accuracy. By using a simulator signal source with known signal strength, high-precision calibration of the system is achieved by precisely controlling the ambient temperature and the numerically controlled AGC. The system is subjected to gain calibration error correction before launch, and the correction result is applied to the inversion of on-orbit data, further improving the inversion accuracy of on-orbit applications.

[0031] Reference Figure 2a , shows a flowchart of another method for calibrating the reflection channel gain provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps: Step S201, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, obtaining a gain deviation value of the occultation receiver, the gain deviation value being a deviation caused by an actual AD sampling value; Step S202, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, determining the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver by adjusting the signal source output power of the preset simulator; In practical applications, the signal source of the preset simulator can output a signal whose signal source output power is known. Then, through AD sampling, the AD sampling value corresponding to the current signal source output power can be determined, and the AD sampling value can be converted into an AD target value.

[0032] Based on the above data processing process, when the signal source output power is adjusted, the AD sampling value and the AD target value change accordingly, and the gain deviation value is the deviation caused by the actual AD sampling value. Therefore, the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver can be determined by adjusting the signal source output power of the preset simulator.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, determining the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver by adjusting the signal source output power of the preset simulator may include the following sub-steps: Sub-step S11, adjusting the signal source output power of the preset simulator, determining the first signal source output power when the AD actual sampling value is the preset value, and determining the second signal source output power when the AD target sampling value is the preset value; In actual applications, when adjusting the signal source output power of the preset simulator, the AD actual sampling value and the AD target sampling value will change accordingly. Therefore, the preset value can be set in advance. Then, in the process of adjusting the signal source output power, the first signal source output power can be determined when the AD actual sampling value is the preset value, and the second signal source output power can be determined when the AD target sampling value is the preset value, wherein the preset value is set according to the actual scenario.

[0034] Sub-step S12, determining a gain deviation value of the occultation receiver based on the output power of the first signal source and the output power of the second signal source.

[0035] After the output power of the first signal source and the output power of the second signal source are obtained, the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver can be determined according to the output power of the first signal source and the output power of the second signal source.

[0036] Specifically, the difference between the output power of the first signal source and the output power of the second signal source is used as the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver.

[0037] That is, the gain deviation value = the output power of the first signal source - the output power of the second signal source.

[0038] Step S203, receiving the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel; Step S204, determining the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value based on the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power.

[0039] Reference Figure 2b , is a principle block diagram of a gain deviation value calibration caused by a sampling value change in an embodiment of the present invention, the simulator includes a signal source, a reflection channel baseband part, a debug box, MOXA, and a PC serial port display terminal. Among them, the reflection channel baseband part can include AD and FPGA.

[0040] Among them, the output power of the signal source is a known quantity. By accurately adjusting the output power of the signal, the signal power range of point B is ensured to be -4dBm~-6dBm. Then, the insertion loss of the RF coaxial cable can be calibrated using a spectrum analyzer, so that the output signal of the signal source enters the AD to achieve AD sampling. Then, the FPGA processes the AD sampling value, converts the sampling value into the target value through simple calculation, and then enters the Debug box through the debug cable. After the Debug box debugs the data, it enters the MOXA box through the serial port debug cable. The MOXA box converts the 422 data into serial port data, and then enters the PC through the USB cable for serial port display.

[0041] By accurately adjusting the output signal power intensity of the signal source, the output power P13.5 of the signal source can be obtained when the system sampling target value is 13.5. Then, the output power P△ of the signal source corresponding to different target values ​​can be obtained by adjusting the output power of the signal source. When the sampling target value is adjusted to be the same as the target value of the system connection simulator, =P 13.5 -P △ .

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver is determined by adjusting the signal source output power of the preset simulator; the target signal power value in the reflection channel input from the preset simulator to the occultation receiver is obtained; the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel is received; based on the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power, the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value is determined, thereby realizing the calibration of the reflection channel gain.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flow chart of the steps of a method for calibrating the reflection channel gain provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps: Step S301, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, obtaining the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver, the gain deviation value being the deviation caused by the actual AD sampling value; Step S302, obtaining a target signal power value in a reflection channel inputted from a preset simulator to an occultation receiver; Step S303, receiving the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel; Step S304, determining a quotient of the DDM noise power and the target signal power value; In practical applications, the relationship between DDM noise power, target signal power value, gain deviation value, and target gain is as follows: DDM noise power = (target gain + gain deviation value) * target signal power value.

[0044] Based on the above relationship, after obtaining the DDM noise power, the target signal power value and the gain deviation value, the quotient of the DDM noise power and the target signal power value can be determined first, and then the target gain can be calculated based on the quotient.

[0045] Step S305: determining the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value based on the difference between the quotient value and the gain deviation value.

[0046] The formula for calculating the total gain of the reflection channel using the simulator signal is as follows:

[0047] In the formula, Output DDM signal related power value, The ideal gain of the receiver when the AD target value is 13.5 under the ambient temperature T condition; is the deviation value of the receiver gain caused by the actual AD sampling value under the simulator connection condition, which can be obtained through calibration and is a known quantity; is the signal power value input into the reflection link, which can be obtained through calibration and adjusted to a known value.

[0048] Since there is only one unknown quantity in the formula Therefore, the total gain of the receiver can be calibrated through a set of observations. Then, the calibration result of the total gain of the receiver reflection channel is corrected using the measured value.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a preset simulator is under a preset connection condition, a gain deviation value of the occultation receiver is obtained, the gain deviation value being a deviation caused by an actual AD sampling value; a target signal power value in a reflection channel input from the preset simulator to the occultation receiver is obtained; a DDM noise power output from the reflection channel is received; a quotient of the DDM noise power and the target signal power value is determined; and a target gain of the occultation receiver under an AD target sampling value is determined based on a difference between the quotient and the gain deviation value, thereby achieving calibration of the reflection channel gain, providing a new error correction method, and further improving data inversion accuracy.

[0050] Reference Figure 4a , shows a flowchart of another method for calibrating the reflection channel gain provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps: Step S401, when the preset simulator is under the preset connection condition, obtaining the gain deviation value of the occultation receiver, the gain deviation value being the deviation caused by the actual AD sampling value; Step S402, when the preset simulator inputs a simulator signal to the reflection channel of the occultation receiver, a power meter connected to the preset simulator is used to collect a candidate signal power value at each power point; In practical applications, the preset simulator can be connected to a power meter, which can be used to accurately measure the collected signal power to further improve the calibration accuracy. The sampling frequency and sampling period of the power meter can be set in advance, and then the candidate signal power values ​​of the power points can be collected according to the sampling frequency and sampling period to calculate the target signal power value.

[0051] Step S403: determining a target signal power value according to the candidate signal power values.

[0052] After collecting multiple candidate signal power points, a target signal power value may be determined based on the multiple candidate signal power points. Specifically, an average value of the multiple candidate signal power points may be used as the target signal power value.

[0053] Step S404, receiving the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel; Step S405, determining the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value based on the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power.

[0054] Reference Figure 4b , shows a block diagram of the power calibration principle of a simulator output signal provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the simulator is connected to a power meter and an industrial computer, and a data recording PC is connected to the power meter.

[0055] The output power of the simulator can be set and adjusted through an industrial computer, but it is considered an unknown quantity. The output port of the simulator is connected to a power meter through an RF coaxial cable. The power meter accurately measures the collected signal power. To further improve the calibration accuracy, the data sampled by the power meter is transmitted to a data recording PC for statistics and averaging. The statistical accuracy can reach 0.01dB.

[0056] The industrial computer sets the output power of the simulator. According to the actual working environment, the setting range is -115dBm to -145dBm, the step is 1dB, and each power point stays for 5 minutes. The 31 power points are accurately calibrated by the power meter and the data recording PC. Then, the output power of the simulator can be accurately calculated by considering the insertion loss of the RF coaxial cable. .

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a preset simulator is under a preset connection condition, a gain deviation value of the occultation receiver is obtained, and the gain deviation value is a deviation caused by an actual AD sampling value; when the preset simulator inputs a simulator signal to a reflection channel of the occultation receiver, a power meter connected to the preset simulator is used to collect a candidate signal power value at each power point; a target signal power value is determined according to the candidate signal power value; the DDM noise power output by the reflection channel is received; based on the gain deviation value, the target signal power value and the DDM noise power, the target gain of the occultation receiver under the AD target sampling value is determined, thereby realizing calibration of the reflection channel gain, providing a new error correction method, and further improving data inversion accuracy.

[0058] Reference Figure 5a , which is a principle block diagram of a reflection channel calibration system implemented in the present invention. The reflection channel calibration system may include a reflection antenna, an LNA (low noise amplifier) ​​and a filter, a down-conversion channel and a baseband processing. The reflection antenna may be used to receive a GNSS reflection signal, and the input power is Pin. The LNA and the filter are used to amplify the reflection signal received by the reflection antenna and filter out the out-of-band interference signal. The down-conversion channel is used to down-convert, amplify the intermediate frequency, filter the intermediate frequency and perform AD sampling on the amplified and filtered signal. The baseband processing is used to capture, track and resolve the sampled digital intermediate frequency signal, and then output the DDM related power value (that is, the DDM noise observation value of the input calibration source).

The reflection channel detailed design circuit may include a reflection antenna, a cavity filter, a first-stage LNA, a RF filter, a second-stage LNA, a down-conversion, an intermediate frequency amplifier, an intermediate frequency filter, an AD, a baseband FPGA and a reflection DSP.

[0060] The reflection antenna can be used to receive the GNSS reflection signal, and then transmit the signal to the cavity filter. The cavity filter filters the received reflection signal and removes out-of-band interference. The first-stage LNA performs low-noise amplification on the filtered signal, and then transmits the signal to the RF filter. The RF filter can be used to suppress image interference, and then the signal enters the second-stage LNA for further amplification. The amplified signal enters the down-conversion module. The constant temperature crystal oscillator provides the system clock input to the phase-locked local oscillator source, and then outputs the local oscillator signal to provide the local oscillator signal for down-conversion. The down-conversion module performs frequency migration on the signal, down-converts the RF signal to an intermediate frequency signal, and then enters the intermediate frequency amplifier for intermediate frequency amplification. The intermediate frequency amplified signal enters the intermediate frequency filter for intermediate frequency filtering. The intermediate frequency filtered signal enters the AD for analog-to-digital conversion. The converted intermediate frequency digital signal enters the baseband FPGA for digital signal capture and tracking. The processed signal enters the reflection DSP for data inversion and solution, and outputs the DDM related power value (that is, the DDM noise observation value of the input calibration source).

In this experiment, a simulator is used as an input signal source of known power. Under the condition of an incubator controlled at an ambient temperature of 0℃ to 45℃, the DDM signal of the detector reflection channel is collected under different input signal power conditions. Finally, the total link gain of the receiver is calculated through post-data processing, and a calibration error correction model and an AD sampling error correction model are established, and a lookup table and correction model required for calculating the input signal power from the DDM digital observation quantity are established.

[0062] The occultation detector host is placed inside the high and low temperature box, and the ground equipment is placed outside the high and low temperature box. The GNSS signal simulator generates GNSS satellites. The simulator's rear port signal is connected to the occultation detector's positioning and occultation channels through a radio frequency power divider. The simulator's calibrated front port signal is connected to the occultation detector's reflection channel through a radio frequency cable. The linear regulated power supply provides +28V system power for the occultation detector host. The occultation detector host is connected to the ground inspection equipment through an interface module. The interface module transmits low-speed 422 data, high-speed 422 data, and 1553B data to the ground inspection equipment, and then transmits it to the data receiving PC through the USB bus for display and post-data processing. The analog signal acquisition is measured using a multimeter.
