Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of antenna control, in particular to an application method of low-cost MEMS inertial navigation for a shipborne antenna. BACKGROUND

[0002] A communication antenna needs to calculate the pointing angle of the antenna to a satellite in real time according to target satellite information and position and attitude changes in the process of carrier movement, and control the antenna to quickly align to the satellite to implement tracking and ensure the transmission of communication signals. Therefore, carrier attitude data directly affects the tracking accuracy of the antenna. Under the premise of cost reduction and efficiency increase, the established tracking accuracy needs to be met, and the cost of each device also needs to be considered. Although the optical fiber inertial navigation data is good in quality and meets the antenna tracking accuracy index, the cost is also correspondingly high, and it is urgent to seek a method of using low-cost inertial navigation while meeting the antenna tracking accuracy requirement.

[0003] In the debugging and actual use process, the low-cost MEMS inertial navigation has the following deficiencies in antenna tracking:

[0004] 1) The low-cost MEMS inertial navigation data is unstable and has large fluctuations.

[0005] 2) The antenna directly uses the inertial navigation data to produce jitter in the tracking process. SUMMARY

[0006] Therefore, the application provides an application method of low-cost MEMS inertial navigation for a shipborne antenna. The method improves the processing method of using inertial navigation data in the antenna tracking process to effectively improve the stability of the inertial navigation data and solve the jitter problem of the antenna in the tracking process.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the application is:

[0008] A tracking method of low-cost MEMS inertial navigation for a shipborne antenna comprises the following processes:

[0009] Step 1: reading inertial navigation data in real time in an antenna control system;

[0010] Step 2: processing the heading, pitch and roll data of the inertial navigation in real time in an inertial navigation data processing model, and finally obtaining data for antenna tracking.

[0011] Further, in step 1, the antenna control system collects the heading H, pitch P and roll R of the inertial navigation in real time through a serial bus.

[0012] Further, the step 2 inertial navigation data processing model optimal parameter N is obtained as follows:

[0013] Step 201, establish an inertial navigation data processing model, and initialize the model parameters

[0014]

[0015] Wherein, N is an adjustable parameter, A1 and B1 are model parameters;

[0016] Step 202, according to the mathematical model Y n =A1*Y n-1 +B1*M n +M n-1 , M n is the input value, M n-1 is the iteration value, the heading H, pitch P, roll R of the inertial navigation is processed in real time to obtain:

[0017] H out =A1*H out-1 +B1*H+H n-1

[0018] H out-1 =H out

[0019] H n-1 =H

[0020] Wherein, H is the heading input value, H out is the heading output value, H n-1 is the last heading input value, H out-1 is the heading output value of the last iteration;

[0021] P out =A1*P out-1 +B1*P+P n-1

[0022] P out-1 =P out

[0023] P n-1 =P

[0024] Wherein, P is the pitch input value, P out is the pitch output value, P n-1 is the last pitch input value, P out-1 is the pitch output value of the last iteration;

[0025] R out =A1*R out-1 +B1*R+R n-1

[0026] R out-1 = R out

[0027] R n-1 = R

[0028] wherein, R is a roll input value, R out is a roll output value, R n-1 is a last roll input value, R out-1 is a roll output value at the last iteration;

[0029] According to the actual position of the antenna and the satellite longitude, the theoretical angles of the azimuth A G and the elevation E G are calculated, the processed heading, pitch and roll are obtained through an inertial navigation data processing model, are used for conversion from the geographic angle to the deck angle, the azimuth deck angle and the elevation deck angle of the antenna are obtained, the antenna is directed in real time, and the azimuth A and the elevation E geographic angle at this time are inversely deduced.

[0030] Step 203, the model parameter N is continuously adjusted, and the optimal model parameter N is obtained in the case that the difference between A G -A and E G -E is minimum.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. The low-cost inertial navigation can meet the dynamic tracking accuracy of the antenna.

[0033] 2. In the inertial navigation data processing model of the application, single parameter adjustment is selected, and the operation is simple.

[0034] 3. The application solves the problem of antenna dynamic tracking jitter caused by large inertial navigation data fluctuation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] H out =A1*H out-1 +B1*H+H n-1

[0050] H out-1 =H out

[0052] Where H is the heading input value, H outH is the heading output value n-1 H is the heading input value of the last time out-1 H is the heading output value of the last iteration; similarly, the pitch and roll are obtained.

[0053] P out = A1*P out-1 + B1*P + P n-1

[0054] P out-1 = P out

[0057] R out = A1*R out-1 + B1*R + R n-1

[0058] R out-1 = R out

[0059] R n-1 = R

[0060] Where R is the roll input value, R out is the roll output value, R n-1 is the roll input value of the last time, R out-1 is the roll output value of the last iteration;

[0061] 3) According to the actual position of the antenna and the satellite longitude, the theoretical angles of azimuth A G and pitch E G are calculated, and the processed heading, pitch and roll are obtained through the inertial navigation data processing model, which are used for the conversion of geographic angles to deck angles to obtain the azimuth deck angle and the pitch deck angle of the antenna, and the antenna is directed in real time, and then the geographic angles of the azimuth A and the pitch E at this time are back calculated;

[0062] 4) By continuously adjusting the model parameter N, the difference between A G and A is minimized, and the difference between E G and E is minimized, so as to obtain the optimal model parameter N.

[0063] In this method, the model parameter N can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
