[0049] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with examples and drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] refer to Figure 1 The radio integrated detector proposed in this embodiment includes a main control part, a radio frequency part and a host computer part.
[0052] The main control unit responds to the host computer's operating instructions and transmits necessary data to the host computer for display. It also collaborates with the radio frequency unit to complete signal transmission, reception, encoding and decoding. It mainly consists of wireless communication, digital-to-analog / analog-to-digital conversion, power supply, interface, control core, expansion slots, etc.
[0053] refer to Figure 2-Figure 3The digital-to-analog / analog-to-digital conversion includes two ADCs / DACs, and a dual-channel ADC / DAC is used to maximize the use of space. To ensure the quality and bandwidth of the transmitted and received signals, a 14-bit model with a frequency better than 40M is used. Since the battery power also needs to be collected using ADC, and since the accuracy requirement is not high, this embodiment uses the ADC provided by the MCU or FPGA.
[0054] refer to Figure 4-Figure 7 The power supply uses 8.4V rechargeable battery as the main power supply and 27V external DC as the external backup power supply. The secondary power supplies required by the detector are 3.3V, 1.5V, 1.1V, and ±5V. According to the required power and purpose, a universal voltage chip is selected to realize power conversion.
[0055] refer to Figures 8-10 The core control system is built using an MCU+FPGA architecture. The FPGA is primarily responsible for coordinating with the RF module to transmit and receive signals and modifying the corresponding signal content according to the MCU's instructions. The MCU is responsible for communicating with the host computer, monitoring the power supply, configuring the FPGA program, and performing switch control.
[0056] This embodiment also includes an interface module, which includes a multi-function multiplexing interface, two antenna interfaces and two altimeter interfaces, an expansion interface, and a reference Figure 11 The multi-function multiplexing interface is used to integrate MCU program download, FPGA configuration loading and battery charging functions. Figure 12 The expansion interface includes two SPI communication pins and a general IO port for connecting new modules.
[0057] The wireless communication in this embodiment adopts a split design. To meet the confidentiality requirements, wireless communication needs to be encrypted. In this embodiment, point-to-point communication is abandoned and a networked communication form is adopted for function expansion.
[0058] Wireless communication involves audio coding. In this embodiment, wireless communication headphones are used to implement audio coding and decoding. Figure 13 The encoding and decoding process is implemented through circuits.
[0059] The host computer part is used to cooperate with the functions of the corresponding buttons, switches and other controls on the program interface. It adopts IPS industrial-grade capacitive touch screen to provide users with a comfortable and efficient human-computer interaction experience. The human-computer interaction board mainly implements the Linux system and adopts the QT interface to realize human-computer interaction. It communicates with the MCU through the SPI bus internally and issues control instructions.
[0060] The RF part is built on zero-IF software radio technology. By simplifying the mixing link in the traditional superheterodyne architecture, the hardware circuit is streamlined and miniaturized. While maintaining high-precision signal processing capabilities, the RF part effectively reduces the physical space occupied, making it particularly suitable for applications that are sensitive to size and power consumption. The entire solution consists of key modules such as the controller, filter bank, RF switch, phase-locked loop (PLL), and direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDS). Through the collaborative work of digital and analog circuits, it completes the full process from RF signal reception, processing to transmission. Figure 14 .
[0061] In this embodiment, signal processing in the receive channel begins with limiting protection. The external RF signal first passes through a limiter, whose core function is to limit the signal amplitude to a safe operating range, preventing damage to subsequent circuit components due to overload or sudden high-power signals. The limited signal then enters a preselection filter bank consisting of six independent frequency bands, with a controller selecting the filter channel for the corresponding frequency band. Each filter is designed for a specific frequency range, effectively suppressing out-of-band interference signals while ensuring low-loss transmission of the desired signal.
[0062] The pre-filtered signal enters the digitally controlled attenuator, which adjusts the attenuation using a digital control signal, dynamically adjusting the gain of the receiving channel. The controller automatically adjusts the attenuation value based on signal strength, ensuring effective amplification of small signals while preventing amplifier saturation caused by large signals. This allows the system to adapt to input signals of varying strengths and maintain stable signal processing quality. The attenuated signal is then initially amplified by a low-noise amplifier, boosting the strength of the weak signal and providing sufficient signal amplitude for subsequent demodulation. The amplifier's low noise characteristics ensure that the signal-to-noise ratio does not significantly degrade during the amplification process.
[0063] To meet the processing requirements of broadband signals, the system has set a frequency band switch at the demodulation front end. When the input signal belongs to the low frequency band, the switch directs it to the mixing channel, and performs up-conversion processing with the frequency model generated by the phase-locked loop PLL1, moving the signal to a frequency band suitable for the operation of the demodulator; when the signal is in the high frequency band, it directly enters the demodulation link through the switch pass path. The IQ demodulator receives the RF signal after frequency division processing and performs orthogonal demodulation with the broadband signal generated by the phase-locked loop PLL2 to separate the I and Q baseband signals. The two demodulated output signals are amplified and filtered to remove the high-frequency residual components to form analog signals that meet the sampling requirements of the subsequent ADC.
[0064] The transmit channel utilizes a symmetrical design architecture with the receive channel. The IQ signals generated by baseband processing are amplified and filtered before entering the IQ modulator, where they undergo quadrature modulation with the broadband signal generated by phase-locked loop (PLL2), shifting the baseband signal to the target RF band. The modulated RF signal also passes through a frequency band splitter. For bands requiring downconversion, the signal is mixed with the point-frequency signal from PLL1; for passbands, the original frequency is maintained. The subsequent digitally controlled attenuator precisely adjusts the transmit power, dynamically adjusting the transmit intensity through digital control. The driver amplifier boosts the signal power to ensure that the output signal reaches the required transmit power level. The final preselection filter bank suppresses out-of-band spurious signals from the transmit signal. Its six segmented filters effectively filter out harmonics, ensuring the spectral purity of the output signal.
[0065] In the receive channel of this embodiment, the FPGA receives the digital IQ signals sampled by the ADC and extracts phase information through amplitude thresholding. For 4PSK modulated signals, when both the I and Q signal amplitudes are within a specific range, the system determines that the current symbol phase is 45 degrees, corresponding to baseband data 00. Frequency information is obtained by calculating the phase change rate between adjacent symbols, extracting the frequency modulation characteristics of the signal. The inverse process in the transmit channel is achieved by the FPGA generating the baseband signal, mapping the data to be transmitted to the corresponding IQ amplitude combination, and converting it into an analog baseband signal through digital-to-analog conversion. The entire process uses digital algorithms to achieve modulation and demodulation.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] refer to Figure 15 This embodiment describes in detail the test function implementation and software architecture of the detector based on Example 1, taking the TACAN system in aviation radio as an example, including TACAN function testing, power sensitivity measurement and system stability assurance.
[0068] The TACAN function test process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0069] The MCU stores a table of transmit / receive frequencies corresponding to 252 channels, 1X to 126X and 1Y to 126Y. The user selects the target channel through the touch screen, and the MCU sends instructions to the FPGA to control the RF module to switch the phase-locked loop frequency and preselection filter.
[0070] The FPGA generates corresponding pulse coded signals based on the azimuth and distance values input by the host computer. The FPGA automatically generates dynamic signals at a 5° / s azimuth change rate and a 5km / s distance change rate to simulate the aircraft's motion state.
[0071] After the user triggers the identification key, the FPGA generates a continuous audio tone pattern or a Morse code random pattern, which is modulated by the RF part and output. The detector receives feedback from the onboard device through the wireless headset to verify that the identification function is normal.
[0072] The FPGA collects the amplitude of the received signal in real time, and performs Kalman filtering and dBm conversion through the MCU. The display range is -55dBm to -90dBm, with an accuracy of ±0.1dB. The peak power is captured by the FPGA at the maximum value of the signal envelope and uploaded to the host computer. The detector gradually reduces the transmit power from -55dBm to -90dBm, in steps of 5dB, until there is no response from the airborne equipment. The power value at this time is the receiving sensitivity.
[0073] This embodiment takes the air traffic control transponder system in aviation radio as an example, including A / C mode functional testing, sidelobe suppression measurement and S mode coding testing.
[0074] The air traffic control transponder function test process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0075] The detector transmits a Mode A interrogation signal to trigger the transponder on the aircraft to make a Mode A response. The aircraft batch code information is calculated from the response signal and displayed on the screen. The transponder Mode A encoding and decoding performance can be completed by checking the consistency between the screen display and the on-board settings.
[0076] The instrument uses a Mode C interrogation to trigger the transponder to respond. It receives and interprets the Gray code in the response signal, converting it into the corresponding altitude and displaying it on the screen. At this point, the transponder's Mode C encoding and decoding capabilities are verified by comparing the altitude indication on the aircraft with the instrument's altitude indication.
[0077] The detector simulates the situation where the aircraft is illuminated by side lobes by adjusting the signal amplitude of the P2 pulse in the interrogation signal, and can simulate three scenarios: "response area", "fuzzy area" and "no response area".
[0078] The checker uses a Mode S interrogation to trigger the transponder to respond. It then receives and interprets the batch code, address code, and Gray code contained in the response signal, converting them into corresponding data and displaying them on the screen. At this point, the transponder's Mode S encoding and decoding capabilities are verified by comparing the display on the aircraft's Mode S transponder control box with the checker's indications.
[0079] The software in this embodiment adopts a discrete architecture and is divided into the following units:
[0080] The monitoring unit is used to monitor battery voltage, RF signal power and temperature in real time, and abnormal conditions will trigger a three-level alarm.
[0081] The test unit integrates test modes such as TACAN, DME / P (precision ranging), and VOR (omnidirectional range finder), and supports test script editing and batch execution, such as continuously switching 10 channels and recording the results.
[0082] System setting unit, used to configure communication protocol and touch screen response time.
[0083] Example 3
[0084] This embodiment proposes a test process operation of a radio integrated detector based on embodiment 2.
[0085] refer to Figure 16 , Operation detection, operation detection is the beginning of the entire program startup, the process is as follows:
[0086] After the tester is started, the touch screen enters the standby state and continuously scans for user operation signals. At this time, the screen displays the current test mode and parameter interface, waiting for user input.
[0087] The user selects function buttons or inputs parameters through the touch screen, and the touch screen controller detects changes in capacitance signals in real time and triggers the operation detection program.
[0088] The system accurately locates the user operation area by scanning the coordinate grid of the touch screen and maps the coordinates to the current interface layout.
[0089] Based on the current display page and system status, verify whether the user operation complies with logic and permissions. If it is a valid operation, the system performs the corresponding operation, updates the interface display, and records the operation log.
[0090] If it is an invalid operation, the scan status is returned.
[0091] refer to Figure 17 , operation display interface, the display interface should show corresponding changes to inform the operator after making a correct operation, and the processor will also update the record of the current status of the display interface in real time to ensure the correctness of the operation, specifically:
[0092] After the detector is powered on, the main control part starts up and the power management module completes self-test to ensure that all voltage outputs are normal.
[0093] The Linux system starts, the QT interface framework loads the preset test configuration file, and the standby interface displays the touch screen main interface, including channel configuration, power measurement, azimuth simulation, function buttons and current parameter status.
[0094] The user triggers an operation through the touch screen, and the system enters the event response process:
[0095] Replace the original value display with the new value: For example, if the user switches from channel 31X to channel 45X, the interface will display the new channel number in real time;
[0096] Changing the displayed value: If the user slides the power adjustment bar, the value is dynamically updated from -70dBm to -75dBm.
[0097] The system classifies operations according to the type of operation, including parameter modification and function switching.
[0098] The processor responds with an operation based on the new value, releasing the original value and retaining the new value.
[0099] If the user cancels the operation, the interface returns to the original parameter display (such as channel 31X); if the user confirms the operation, the new value takes effect and continues to be displayed.
[0100] After completing the current operation, the system returns to the standby interface or jumps to the related function page (such as the continuous mode monitoring interface) and continues to wait for user input.
[0101] refer to Figure 18 Through the software architecture, all event responses in the radio integrated detector are prioritized to ensure that the system will not be stuck or run in chaos due to receiving too many response events at the same time.
[0102] The event interrupt priority is divided into level one interrupt, i.e. power failure, over-temperature; level two interrupt, i.e. communication timeout, data check error; level three interrupt: i.e. user operation instruction.
[0103] The detector may trigger various events during operation.
[0104] Determine whether there is an event currently being executed. If there is no event being executed, execute the new event directly; if there is an event being executed, enter the priority comparison process.
[0105] Comparing preset event priorities
[0106] The system determines the event priority based on preset rules: Level 1 interrupt (highest priority): power failure, overtemperature, emergency stop; Level 2 interrupt: communication timeout, data verification error; Level 3 interrupt (lowest priority): user parameter adjustment, routine test tasks.
[0107] Execute operations according to priority. When the new event has a higher priority, the current event is terminated immediately and the new event is executed. When the old event has a higher priority, the current event continues to execute and the new event is processed after completion. When the priorities are equal, the new event overwrites the old event.
[0108] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
