Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of spacecraft communication technology, and in particular to a satellite rotating cabin radio frequency signal transmission system and method based on an optoelectronic slip ring. Background Art
[0002] At present, products such as smooth rings and RF rotating joints are usually used for RF signal transmission under satellite rotation. Satellite RF channels are mainly used for measurement and control, data transmission, navigation and positioning, and payload, and have high reliability requirements. After the RF signal passes through the rotating module, there is insertion loss in the channel conversion, especially for multi-channel RF signal transmission. When the number of RF channels increases, the volume and weight of the RF rotating joint increase with the number of channels, and the channel insertion loss and isolation of each channel deteriorate. Each channel wears out with rotation, resulting in poor life, technical indicators, and reliability. There are certain technical difficulties in RF signal transmission under satellite rotation conditions.
[0003] Common satellite-borne RF signals range from L-band (frequency 1-2 GHz) to Ka-band (frequency 26.5-40 GHz), and have been gradually expanded to Q / V-band (frequency 40 / 50 GHz) and W-band (frequency 70 / 80 GHz) in recent years. Satellite-borne RF signals are developing in the direction of wider frequency bands, higher frequency bands, and more channels.
[0004] RF rotary joints mainly include products such as waveguide rotary joints and coaxial rotary joints. The non-contact type is mainly based on waveguide rotary joints, which have the advantages of long life and simple structure, and the disadvantages of large size and narrow transmission band. Coaxial rotary joints use contact transmission, and the service life is related to the rotation speed and wear of the rotating parts. Existing RF rotary joints are generally composed of multiple stacked single rotary joints, which have problems such as large size and many restrictions on use on satellites. Some use shared rotating conductors, which have the problem of poor isolation between channels. Therefore, there are many limitations in the use of existing RF rotary joints on satellites.

Figure 5-Figure 7 The present invention provides a method for transmitting radio frequency signals in a satellite rotating cabin based on an optoelectronic slip ring. The method comprises the following steps:
[0063] First, the RF-to-optical transmission module converts the input multi-channel RF signals into multi-channel optical signals, and inputs the multi-channel optical signals into the optical transmission wavelength division multiplexer. In one embodiment of the present invention, the input multi-channel RF signals include one or more of the measurement and control RF signals, the data transmission RF signals, the random RF signals, or the load RF signals.

The RF signal is converted into an optical signal after passing through the electro-optical converter and transmitted through the internal optical cable of the RF-to-optical transmission module.

[0064] Next, the optical transmission wavelength division multiplexer couples the input optical signal into the same optical fiber, and inputs the coupled optical signal into the optoelectronic slip ring 20. The optoelectronic slip ring 20 is driven by the turntable 2 to rotate continuously.
[0065] Next, the optoelectronic slip ring transmits the optical signal to the optical receiving wavelength division multiplexer.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the platform conversion module 30 may include more than two wavelength division multiplexers.
[0066] Next, the optical receiving wavelength division multiplexer restores the coupled optical signal output by the optoelectronic slip ring into a multi-channel optical signal, and inputs the restored multi-channel optical signal into the optical-to-RF receiving module. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the optical-to-RF receiving module includes a second photoelectric converter 314 for photoelectric conversion and a first electro-optical converter 317 for electro-optical conversion.
[0067] Finally, the optical-to-RF receiving module converts the recovered multi-path optical signals into multi-path recovered RF signals, and outputs the multi-path recovered RF signals. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the multi-path recovered RF signals are output to an integrated electronic or microwave network.
