Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of spacecraft communication technology, in particular to a satellite rotating cabin radio frequency signal transmission system and method based on an optical and electrical slip ring. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, for the transmission of radio frequency signals in the rotating state of a satellite, optical slip rings, radio frequency rotating joints and other products are usually used. The on-board radio frequency channel is mainly used for measurement and control, data transmission, navigation and positioning, and loads, and has high reliability requirements. Because the radio frequency signal passes through the rotating module, there is an insertion loss in the channel conversion. In particular, for multi-channel radio frequency signal transmission, when the number of radio frequency channels increases, the volume and weight of the radio frequency rotating joint also increase with the number of channels. The channel insertion loss and the isolation of each channel become worse, and the life, technical indicators and reliability of each channel are deteriorated due to rotation wear. There are certain technical difficulties in the transmission of radio frequency signals under the on-board rotating condition.
[0003] The commonly used on-board radio frequency signal ranges from L band (frequency 1-2 GHz) to Ka band (frequency 26.5-40 GHz), and in recent years has gradually expanded to Q / V band (frequency 40 / 50 GHz) and W band (frequency 70 / 80 GHz). There is a trend of developing towards wider and higher frequency bands and more channels for on-board radio frequency signals.
[0004] The radio frequency rotating joint mainly includes waveguide rotating joints and coaxial rotating joints. The non-contact type is mainly waveguide rotating joints, which have the advantages of long service life and simple structure, but the disadvantages of large volume and narrow transmission band. The coaxial rotating joint uses contact transmission, and its service life is related to the rotation speed and wear of the rotating part. The existing radio frequency rotating joint is generally composed of multiple rotating single joints stacked together, which has the problems of large volume and many restrictions on its use on the satellite. Some use a common rotating conductor, which has the problem of poor channel isolation. Therefore, the use of the existing radio frequency rotating joint on the satellite has many limitations. SUMMARY
