[0002] Ground station satellite antennas are antenna devices installed on the surface of the earth, used to receive signals from satellites or send commands and data to satellites. They usually have high gain, precise beam directivity and controllable beam tracking capabilities to ensure reliable communication and data transmission. Ground station satellite antennas are widely used in satellite communications, navigation, remote sensing and deep space exploration. Common types include parabolic antennas, phased array antennas and omnidirectional antennas, which can adapt to the needs of different frequency bands and polarization methods. They are the key bridge connecting the earth and satellites.
[0003] The ground station satellite antenna is the core component of the satellite communication system, responsible for ensuring efficient data transmission between the ground and the satellite. The ground station antenna needs to have high gain, precise beam control and tracking capabilities to cope with the dynamic changes of the satellite and maintain a stable communication connection. Effective antenna design can not only improve signal quality and anti-interference capabilities, but also optimize spectrum utilization to meet communication needs in different application scenarios.
[0004] However, traditional mechanical antennas rely on physical movement to track satellites, with slow tracking speed and limited accuracy, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-speed dynamic targets. Interference or resource waste is prone to occur in multi-band or multi-beam designs, failing to fully utilize spectrum resources and affecting communication capacity. Traditional antenna multi-beam designs rely on fixed feed sources or beamforming networks, making it difficult to dynamically adjust beam direction and coverage range, and unable to adapt to rapidly changing communication needs, resulting in the transmission rate of antenna signals being too low.

[0033] Reference Manual Attached Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of a ground station satellite antenna design method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0034] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for designing a ground station satellite antenna, the method comprising:
[0035] S1: Get the working frequency band of the ground station satellite.
[0036] Among them, ground station satellite refers to a facility located on the ground that receives or sends satellite signals, usually used for communication or data transmission with satellites. The working frequency band refers to the electromagnetic spectrum range used for satellite communications. Different frequency bands have different transmission characteristics and applicable environments. Selecting the appropriate frequency band is the key to ensuring communication quality.
[0037] It should be noted that electromagnetic waves in different frequency bands have different attenuation, penetration ability and bandwidth characteristics during propagation. Choosing the appropriate frequency band can effectively improve communication quality and stability.
[0038] In a possible implementation manner, the operating frequency bands specifically include: L band, S band, C band, X band, Ku band, Ka band, V band and Q band.
[0039] Among them, the L band (1-2 GHz) has a longer wavelength and stronger penetration, and can communicate in worse weather conditions. The S band (2-4 GHz) has strong anti-interference ability and a longer communication distance. The C band (4-8GHz) signal can effectively penetrate the atmosphere and has good anti-interference ability against meteorological conditions such as precipitation. The X band (8-12 GHz) has a higher frequency, which makes the signal bandwidth wider and can provide a higher data transmission rate. The Ku band (12-18 GHz) has a high communication speed and can provide a larger bandwidth, but its signal is more sensitive to weather conditions such as precipitation. The Ka band (26.5-40 GHz) provides very high bandwidth and data transmission speed, which is suitable for scenarios requiring high-capacity and high-speed data communication. The V band (40-75 GHz) has a short wavelength and large signal attenuation, which is suitable for short-distance, high-speed data transmission applications. The Q band (33-50 GHz) has a higher frequency and can provide a wider bandwidth and a higher data transmission rate.
[0040] S2: Select the target satellite antenna based on the operating frequency band.
[0041] It should be noted that different frequency bands have different requirements for antenna design and performance. Selecting an antenna suitable for the frequency band can optimize signal transmission efficiency, reduce interference and improve communication quality.
[0042] In a possible implementation, types of the target satellite antenna include: a helical antenna, a microstrip antenna, a phased array antenna, an array antenna, and a parabolic antenna.
[0043] Among them, the helical antenna is an antenna that is wound into a spiral shape by a conductor (usually a metal wire). It usually has circular polarization characteristics, can work in a larger frequency range, has a wider beam, and is suitable for low-frequency communications. The microstrip antenna is a planar antenna, usually composed of a metal plate (conductor) and a ground plane below, separated by an insulating material (medium). It has the characteristics of low profile, wide bandwidth, and lightness, and can be integrated into a circuit board. It is usually used for high-frequency applications and can support different modes and polarization forms (such as linear polarization and circular polarization). The phased array antenna consists of multiple antenna units, and the phase of each antenna unit is It can be dynamically adjusted to achieve fast and precise control of the beam direction. It has the characteristics of high speed, high flexibility, low mechanical loss and high integration. The array antenna is an antenna system composed of multiple individual antenna units (or antenna elements). It synthesizes a beam with specific directivity and gain by adjusting the phase and amplitude. The radiation pattern and beam direction of the antenna can be flexibly changed by adjusting the excitation amplitude and phase of each antenna unit. The parabolic antenna is a common antenna form with a parabolic radiating surface. It can provide very high gain and precise directivity and has strong directivity.
[0044] Specifically, the wavelength of the L-band signal is longer, and the parabolic antenna can provide better gain and wider beam, and the spiral antenna has circular polarization characteristics, both of which are suitable for the L-band. The S-band has strong anti-interference ability and a longer communication range, and parabolic antennas, phased array antennas and microstrip antennas can be selected. The C-band is used for satellite communication and broadcasting, and the parabolic antenna has the characteristics of high gain. The microstrip antenna is small in size and low in weight, and both are suitable for the C-band. The X-band signal bandwidth is higher, requiring high-precision antenna design, and phased array antennas and parabolic antennas with high gain characteristics can be selected. The Ku-band is often used in satellite broadcasting, satellite Internet and TV transmission, and parabolic antennas and microstrip antennas can be selected. The Ka-band is used for high-speed data transmission, and has higher requirements for antenna design. Phased array antennas are usually selected to support high-bandwidth communications. The V-band has a higher frequency and a short wavelength, and has higher requirements for the size and precision of the antenna. Microstrip antennas and array antennas that can support high-precision beam control should be selected. The Q-band is widely used in high-capacity data transmission, astronomical observation and other fields, and microstrip antennas and phased array antennas can be selected.
[0045] S3: Optimize the diversity parameters of the target satellite antenna.
[0046] It should be noted that by optimizing the diversity parameters of the target satellite antenna, the stability and performance of the communication system can be significantly improved. The optimized diversity parameters help reduce signal attenuation and interference and improve the effective transmission range and quality of the signal.
[0047] In a possible implementation manner, the diversity parameters include: envelope correlation coefficient, diversity gain, channel capacity loss, average effective gain and total effective reflection coefficient.
[0048] Among them, the envelope correlation coefficient (Envelope Correlation Coefficient) indicates the similarity of the envelopes (i.e., the fluctuating part of the signal strength) between two signals, and measures the degree of independence of the signals in multipath propagation or multi-antenna systems. The value of the envelope correlation coefficient is usually between 0 and 1. The closer the value is to 0, the more independent the signals are, and the smaller the interference and attenuation effects are. The closer the value is to 1, the stronger the correlation between the signals is, which may cause signal interference or enhance the same interference. Diversity gain (Diversity Gain) refers to the use of multiple independent signal paths (such as multi-antenna reception, multi-band or time diversity) to increase signal strength, thereby improving the performance of the communication system. Channel capacity loss (Channel Capacity Loss) refers to the maximum amount of information that a signal can transmit under given channel conditions, and measures the reduction in effective data transmission due to noise, attenuation, interference and other factors during channel transmission. Average effective gain (Average Effective Gain) refers to the average value of the effective gain of an antenna or system in all directions under various channel conditions, which combines the radiation performance of the antenna or system at different angles. The total effective reflection coefficient (Total Effective Reflection Coefficient) Reflection Coefficient) describes the intensity ratio of the signal reflected from the antenna, reflects the reflection loss of the antenna system, and is an important parameter for measuring the antenna matching performance. The higher the reflection coefficient, the more energy of the signal is reflected back, resulting in a decrease in transmission efficiency.
[0049] Specifically, the calculation formula of the envelope correlation coefficient is:
[0050]
[0051] Where ECC represents the envelope correlation coefficient, represents the complex conjugate, represents the electric field component of the pth satellite antenna in the θ direction, represents the electric field component of the qth satellite antenna in the θ direction, represents the electric field component of the pth satellite antenna in the φ direction, represents the electric field component of the qth satellite antenna in the φ direction, represents the power weight in the θ direction, represents the power weight in the φ direction, XPR represents the cross-polarization ratio, represents the total power of the qth antenna in the θ direction and the φ direction, and β represents the total power of the pth antenna in the θ direction and the φ direction.
[0052] In the present invention, the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is a diversity parameter used to indicate the correlation between adjacent radiating units of a satellite antenna. The envelope correlation coefficient can be calculated by a radiation pattern or an S parameter. When designing a satellite antenna, the envelope correlation coefficient needs to be optimized until the envelope correlation coefficient is less than 0.5 to ensure the independence of each unit and improve diversity performance.
[0053] The calculation formula of diversity gain is as follows:
[0054]
[0055] Wherein, DG represents diversity gain.
[0056] In the present invention, diversity gain (DG) represents the signal quality and reliability of a satellite antenna in a wireless system. When designing a satellite antenna, the diversity gain needs to be optimized to reach an ideal value of 10 dB.
[0057] The calculation formula for channel capacity loss is:
[0058]
[0059] Where CCL represents the channel capacity loss, represents the determinant of the matrix, represents the correlation matrix of the satellite antenna, Representation Matrix The elements in , S 11 represents the reflection coefficient at the input of the satellite antenna, S 12 represents the reverse transmission coefficient of the satellite antenna, S 21 represents the forward transmission coefficient of the satellite antenna, S 22 Represents the reflection coefficient at the output of the satellite antenna.
[0060] In the present invention, channel capacity loss (CCL) is the maximum limit for information to be transmitted with near-zero loss in a communication channel. The lower the channel capacity loss, the higher the communication efficiency of the channel. When designing an antenna, it is necessary to optimize the channel capacity loss to ensure that the CCL value is less than 0.4 bits / s / Hz to ensure efficient information transmission.
[0061] The calculation formula of average effective gain is as follows:
[0062]
[0063] Among them, MEG i represents the average effective gain of the ith satellite antenna, MEG j represents the average effective gain of the jth satellite antenna, S ii represents the input reflection coefficient of the ith satellite antenna, S ij represents the transmission coefficient between the i-th satellite antenna and the j-th satellite antenna, S jj represents the input reflection coefficient of the jth satellite antenna, and denote the reflected power coefficients of the i-th satellite antenna and the j-th satellite antenna respectively, represents the transmission power coefficient from the i-th satellite antenna to the j-th satellite antenna.
[0064] In the present invention, the average effective gain is the ratio of the power received by the satellite antenna to the power received by the isotropic antenna. It is calculated through S parameters to indicate whether the power received by different antenna units is evenly distributed. When designing the antenna, it is necessary to optimize the average effective gain to ensure that the ratio is less than 3 dB to ensure good performance of the satellite antenna.
[0065] The total effective reflection coefficient is specifically:
[0066]
[0067] Where TARC is the total effective reflection coefficient, b i represents the scattering vector of the i-th satellite antenna, a i represents the excitation vector of the ith satellite antenna, , N represents the total number of satellite antennas, [S] represents the scattering matrix containing S parameters, represents the input signal phase factor of the satellite antenna, j represents the imaginary unit, and θ represents the phase angle.
[0068] In the present invention, the total effective reflection coefficient (TARC) characterizes the reflection loss of the antenna, and needs to be optimized during design so that the total effective reflection coefficient is as close to zero as possible, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the system.
[0069] S4: Design a satellite antenna array based on the target satellite antenna after hierarchical parameter optimization.
[0070] It should be noted that designing a satellite antenna array based on optimized diversity parameters can effectively improve the performance and reliability of the antenna. The optimized parameters can ensure that the antenna array performs optimally in a specific frequency band, reduce signal attenuation and interference, and improve beam pointing accuracy and signal coverage.
[0071] S5: Determine the beam gain of the satellite antenna array.
[0072] Among them, beam gain refers to the ability of the antenna array to concentrate on radiating or receiving signals in a specific direction. The higher the beam gain, the stronger the signal strength of the antenna in that direction, and vice versa.
[0073] It should be noted that by determining the beam gain of the satellite antenna array, the directivity and transmission efficiency of the antenna can be optimized. By precisely adjusting the beam gain, interference can be effectively reduced, signal quality can be improved, and stable communication between the satellite and the ground station can be ensured.
[0074] In a possible implementation, the satellite antenna array includes multiple feed sources, and S5 specifically includes:
[0075] S501: Determine the overall beam pattern of the satellite antenna array:
[0076]

[0078] It should be noted that by determining the overall beam pattern of the satellite antenna array, the radiation characteristics of the antenna array in different directions can be accurately described, thereby optimizing the beam coverage and signal transmission efficiency.
[0079] S502: Determine the total radiation field pattern of the main beam in the overall beam pattern:
[0080]
[0081] Among them, E R (u, v) represents the total radiation field of the main beam R of the satellite antenna array in the direction (u, v), w Rp represents the excitation coefficient of the pth feed in the main beam R, fRp represents the sub-beam pattern formed by the p-th feed in the main beam R, a Rp represents the excitation amplitude of the pth feed of the main beam R, P Rp represents the excitation phase of the pth feed in the main beam R, , L represents the total number of feeds in the main beam R, e represents the index, and j represents the imaginary unit.
[0082] It should be noted that by determining the total radiation field pattern of the main beam in the overall beam pattern, the radiation distribution characteristics of the main beam of the satellite antenna array can be clarified, the design of the antenna array can be optimized, unnecessary signal waste can be avoided, and the signal strength of the system in a specific direction can be enhanced.
[0083] S503: Determine the wave number gain according to the total radiation field pattern:
[0084]
[0085] Among them, G R (u,v) represents the wavenumber gain of the beam R of the satellite antenna array in the direction (u,v).
[0086] S6: According to the beam gain, establish a first objective function regarding the antenna main beam gain, a second objective function regarding the antenna interference beam gain, and constraint conditions.
[0087] It should be noted that by establishing the first objective function regarding the antenna main beam gain, the signal coverage and quality are ensured, and by establishing the second objective function regarding the antenna interference beam gain, the impact of interference on system performance is reduced. By setting reasonable constraints, the relationship between signal strength and interference suppression can be balanced, thereby improving the overall efficiency and stability of the satellite antenna.
[0088] In a possible implementation, the first objective function and the second objective function are specifically:
[0089]
[0090] Wherein, f1(X) represents the first objective function, f2(X) represents the second objective function, X represents the feed excitation configuration vector of the main beam R, min represents minimization, and max represents maximization. Indicates the direction of beam R in the satellite coverage area The gain on Indicates the direction of beam R in the coverage area of the same frequency beam The gain on represents the sampling point position of the main beam R, , N MR represents the total number of sampling points of the main beam R, represents the sampling point position of the co-channel interference beam, , N SR Indicates the total number of sampling points of the co-channel interference beam.
[0091] In a possible implementation manner, the feed source excitation configuration vector is specifically:
[0092]
[0093] Where X represents the feed excitation configuration vector of the main beam R, a Rp represents the excitation amplitude of the pth feed of the main beam R, P Rp represents the excitation phase of the pth feed in the main beam R, , L represents the total number of feeds in the main beam R.
[0094] In a possible implementation, the constraints specifically include:
[0095] Feed amplitude weight constraints:
[0096] ;
[0097] The gain constraint of the main beam R is:
[0098] ;
[0099] Gain constraints of co-channel interference beams:
[0100] .
[0101] S7: Under the constraints, with the goal of minimizing the first objective function and maximizing the second objective function, a particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to determine the optimal configuration of the satellite antenna array.
[0102] It should be noted that the particle swarm optimization algorithm can efficiently determine the optimal configuration, improve the performance of the satellite antenna array, ensure the quality of signal transmission and effectively suppress interference.
[0103] In the present invention, S7 specifically includes:
[0104] S701: Initialize the particle swarm, set the inertia weight range, learning factor, maximum number of iterations, population size, particle position, particle velocity, individual optimal value and population global optimal value.
[0105] Among them, each particle represents a feed source excitation configuration vector.

[0107]
[0108] in, represents the inertia weight of iteration at time t, ω max represents the initial maximum value of the inertia weight, ω min represents the initial minimum value of the inertia weight, T max represents the maximum number of iterations, and e represents the exponential function.
[0109] It should be noted that by dynamically adjusting the inertia weight, the global search and local search capabilities can be effectively balanced. In the early stage of iteration, a larger inertia weight helps particles to conduct a wider global search and cover the entire solution space. In the later stage of iteration, a smaller inertia weight enhances the local search capability of particles and accelerates convergence to the optimal solution. The nonlinear decreasing method is more flexible than the linear decreasing method, and can improve the convergence efficiency and optimization accuracy of the algorithm in complex optimization problems.
[0110] S703: Update the speed and position of each particle according to the nonlinear inertia weight:
[0111]
[0112] Among them, v i (t+1) represents the velocity of the i-th particle at the t+1th iteration, v i (t) represents the speed of the i-th particle at the t-th iteration, c1 represents the individual learning factor, r1 and r2 represent random numbers, P i represents the historical optimal position of the i-th particle, x i represents the position of the ith particle at the tth iteration, c2 represents the group learning factor, G represents the global optimal position, and x i (t+1) represents the position of the i-th particle at the t+1-th iteration.
[0113] S704: Calculate the fitness value of each particle;
[0114]
[0115] Among them, F(X) represents the fitness value, w1 and w2 represent weight coefficients, f1(X) represents the first objective function, and f2(X) represents the second objective function.
[0116] S705: According to the fitness value, determine whether the particle position meets the constraint conditions; if so, return to step S701; otherwise, go to S706.
[0117] S706: Update the individual optimal value of the particle and the global optimal value of the population.
[0118] S707: Determine whether the maximum number of iterations has been reached; if so, output the individual optimal position and the global optimal position of the population; otherwise, return to step S703.
[0119] In the present invention, the optimal configuration scheme of the satellite antenna is efficiently found by balancing the global search and local search capabilities of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, thereby achieving the dual optimization goals of maximizing the main beam gain and suppressing the interference beam.
[0120] S8: Perform antenna configuration on the satellite antenna array according to the optimal configuration.
[0121] It should be noted that through precise configuration, the antenna can provide maximum gain in the designed main beam direction while reducing unnecessary interference, so that the antenna array can achieve optimal performance in practical applications, ensure efficient and interference-free communication between satellites and ground stations, adapt to complex environmental conditions and meet different communication needs.
