Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of satellite communications, and in particular relates to a satellite communication terminal and a low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Satellite communication technology is an important modern communication method, using satellites as relay stations to enable communication between earth stations. With advantages such as wide coverage, large communication capacity, high communication quality, and strong anti-interference capabilities, satellite communication technology is widely used in broadcasting, television, communications, navigation, meteorology, and military fields. With the advancement of science and technology, satellite communication technology is also constantly developing. Among them, low-orbit communication satellites have become a key component of satellite communication technology due to their low orbital altitude, low latency, and high bandwidth. However, the high speed of low-orbit communication satellites and the rapid changes in communication coverage make the automatic satellite search and rapid switching of low-orbit communication satellites a key issue in the field of satellite communication technology.
[0004] Existing low-orbit communication satellite search technology primarily relies on ground station measurement and control systems. This system tracks and measures low-orbit communication satellites through the station's antenna, enabling satellite search and communication. This method relies on the construction and maintenance of ground stations, which is costly. Furthermore, due to geographical constraints, it cannot achieve all-weather satellite search and communication. Other satellite search technologies rely on the satellites themselves, such as inter-satellite links and autonomous navigation. While these technologies can achieve autonomous satellite search, they require the satellites to possess advanced autonomous navigation and computing capabilities, resulting in high costs and complex technical implementation.
[0005] Existing satellite search technology for low-orbit communication satellites presents several challenges. First, existing ground-based search technology is costly and, due to geographical constraints, cannot achieve all-weather satellite search and communication. Second, existing satellite-based search technology requires the satellites to possess high levels of autonomous navigation and computing power, which is costly and technically complex. Furthermore, existing low-orbit communication satellite search technology suffers from long switching times and low reliability. When the signal quality of a satellite degrades or disappears, it takes a long time to switch to another satellite, resulting in communication interruptions and impacting communication reliability.
[0006] Therefore, how to achieve fast, reliable, and all-weather satellite search and switching of low-orbit communication satellites is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of satellite communication technology. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a satellite communication terminal and a low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method, which are implemented in the satellite communication terminal. Through two sets of directional antennas, two satellites are simultaneously aimed at. When the signal quality of one satellite decreases or disappears, it can immediately switch to another satellite to ensure the continuity and reliability of communication.
[0008] According to some embodiments, a first solution of the present invention provides a satellite communication terminal, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0013] a compensation module configured to dynamically compensate for a primary antenna direction angle and a backup antenna direction angle of the captured primary satellite and backup satellite;
[0014] a calibration module configured to calibrate the satellite visible window according to the orbital data of the active satellite and the backup satellite after dynamic compensation;
[0015] The switching module is configured to connect to the backup satellite through the backup antenna when the satellite connected to the main antenna is about to disappear from the satellite visible window, complete the switching between the main antenna and the backup antenna, and realize low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication based on the satellite communication terminal.
[0016] According to some embodiments, a second solution of the present invention provides a low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method, which adopts the following technical solutions:
[0017] A low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method, implemented based on the satellite communication terminal in the first solution, includes:
[0018] Obtaining the current location information of the satellite communication terminal;
[0019] Determine the satellite search ranges of the main antenna and the backup antenna respectively based on the current position information obtained;
[0020] Capturing low-orbit satellites within the determined search range, wherein the low-orbit satellites include primary satellites and backup satellites;
[0021] Dynamically compensate the main antenna direction angle and the backup antenna direction angle of the captured main satellite and backup satellite;
[0022] Calibrate the satellite visible window based on the orbital data of the active satellite and the backup satellite after dynamic compensation;
[0023] When the satellite connected to the main antenna is about to disappear from the satellite visible window, the backup antenna is connected to the backup satellite to complete the switching between the main antenna and the backup antenna, realizing low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication based on the satellite communication terminal.
[0024] It should be noted that the satellite communication terminal includes a positioning module and a gyroscope, and the current location information of the satellite communication terminal is determined by the positioning module; the positioning module can use GPS positioning, Beidou positioning, GLONASS, etc.
[0025] As a further technical limitation, when the satellite connected to the main antenna is not about to disappear from the satellite visible window, dynamic compensation of the main antenna direction angle and the backup antenna direction angle is performed again.
[0026] As a further technical limitation, in the process of determining the satellite search range of the main antenna and the backup antenna, the main antenna controller and the backup antenna controller respectively control the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the main antenna and the backup antenna, and the azimuth angle of the main antenna is controlled within the range of 90°~270° and the elevation angle is controlled within the range of 10°~90° to search for the main satellite; the azimuth angle of the backup antenna is controlled within the range of 0°~360° and the elevation angle is controlled within the range of 0°~90° to search for the backup satellite.
[0027] As a further technical limitation, the primary satellite is captured based on the primary satellite signal strength received by the primary antenna within the determined satellite search range of the primary antenna, and the capture of the primary satellite is completed if and only if the received primary satellite signal strength is within the preset primary satellite signal strength range; the backup satellite is captured based on the backup satellite signal strength received by the backup antenna within the determined satellite search range of the backup antenna and the direction angle adjusted by the main antenna when tracking the movement of the primary satellite, and the capture of the backup satellite is completed if and only if the received backup satellite signal strength is within the preset backup satellite signal strength range and the dynamic compensation trend of the main antenna direction angle is within the preset dynamic compensation trend range.
[0028] As a further technical limitation, in the process of calibrating the satellite visible window, a lidar scan is performed in the antenna compensation direction to extract the obstacle contour on the satellite motion trajectory, and the obstacle occlusion trend is determined based on the extracted obstacle contour. The satellite's extreme visible window is determined based on the obstacle occlusion trend, and the calibration of the satellite visible window is completed based on the extreme visible window and the determined satellite search range.
[0029] Furthermore, the current angle of the satellite communication terminal is determined based on the current position information, and the relationship between the determined current angle of the satellite communication terminal and the calibrated satellite visible window is judged. When the current angle of the satellite communication terminal is at the edge of the satellite visible window, it is judged that the satellite is about to disappear from the satellite visible window.
[0030] According to some embodiments, a third solution of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0031] A computer-readable storage medium stores a program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of a low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method as described in the second solution of the present invention.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] The present invention utilizes a satellite communication terminal with a built-in positioning module and gyroscope to achieve automatic satellite search and rapid switching, without requiring the satellite to have high autonomous navigation and computing capabilities, thereby reducing costs and simplifying technical implementation. It also solves the problem that existing satellite-based low-orbit communication satellite search technology requires the satellite to have high autonomous navigation and computing capabilities, resulting in high costs and complex technical implementation.
[0038] The present invention utilizes two sets of directional antennas to achieve automatic satellite search and rapid switching between two satellites, eliminating the need for ground station construction and maintenance, reducing costs, and enabling all-weather satellite search and communication. This solves the problems of existing ground station-based low-orbit communication satellite search technology, which is high in cost, restricted by geographical environments, and unable to achieve all-weather satellite search and communication.

[0052] Example 1
[0053] Embodiment 1 of the present invention introduces a satellite communication terminal.
[0054] like Figure 1 A satellite communication terminal is shown, comprising:
[0055] an acquisition module configured to acquire current location information of the satellite communication terminal;
[0056] a determination module configured to determine the satellite search ranges of the primary antenna and the backup antenna respectively according to the acquired current position information;
[0057] a capture module configured to capture low-orbit satellites within the determined search range, wherein the low-orbit satellites include active satellites and backup satellites;
[0058] a compensation module configured to dynamically compensate for a primary antenna direction angle and a backup antenna direction angle of the captured primary satellite and backup satellite;
[0059] a calibration module configured to calibrate the satellite visible window according to the orbital data of the active satellite and the backup satellite after dynamic compensation;
[0060] The switching module is configured to connect to the backup satellite through the backup antenna when the satellite connected to the main antenna is about to disappear from the satellite visible window, complete the switching between the main antenna and the backup antenna, and realize low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication based on the satellite communication terminal.
[0061] Example 2
[0062] The second embodiment of the present invention introduces a low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method.
[0063] like Figure 2 The low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication method shown is implemented based on the satellite communication terminal introduced in the first embodiment, including:
[0064] Obtaining the current location information of the satellite communication terminal;
[0065] Determine the satellite search ranges of the main antenna and the backup antenna respectively based on the current position information obtained;
[0066] Capturing low-orbit satellites within the determined search range, wherein the low-orbit satellites include primary satellites and backup satellites;
[0067] Dynamically compensate the main antenna direction angle and the backup antenna direction angle of the captured main satellite and backup satellite;
[0068] Calibrate the satellite visible window based on the orbital data of the active satellite and the backup satellite after dynamic compensation;
[0069] When the satellite connected to the main antenna is about to disappear from the satellite visible window, the backup antenna is connected to the backup satellite to complete the switching between the main antenna and the backup antenna, realizing low-orbit satellite dynamic roaming communication based on the satellite communication terminal.
[0070] As one or more implementation methods, a satellite communication terminal is used to obtain current position information of low-orbit satellites (i.e., primary satellites and backup satellites), and the initial direction angles of the primary antenna and the backup antenna are determined in combination with the obtained current position information.
[0071] It should be noted that the satellite communication terminal includes a positioning module and a gyroscope. The positioning module determines the current location information of the satellite communication terminal, and the gyroscope obtains the attitude of the satellite communication device (in this embodiment, the direction angle and elevation angle); the positioning module can use GPS positioning, Beidou positioning, GLONASS positioning, etc. In one or more implementation methods, the direction angle and elevation angle of the main antenna and the backup antenna are controlled respectively based on the main antenna controller and the backup antenna controller, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the azimuth angle of the main antenna is controlled within the range of 90°~270° and the elevation angle is controlled within the range of 10°~90° to search for the main satellite; the azimuth angle of the backup antenna is controlled within the range of 0°~360° and the elevation angle is controlled within the range of 0°~90° to search for the backup satellite.
[0072] It should be noted that the elevation angle is the angle between the direction of the satellite antenna and the horizontal plane. 0° means that the antenna is parallel to the horizontal plane, and 90° means that the antenna is perpendicular to the horizontal plane (pointing directly above the sky).
[0073] It should be noted that the primary antenna's azimuth angle of 90° to 270° in this embodiment is based on true north. This sector range of 90° to 270° covers the primary visible area of the satellite's orbital motion. The primary antenna's elevation angle range is 10° to 90°, providing zenith-first coverage that aligns with the overhead characteristics of low-orbit satellites (maximum elevation angles typically occur above 60° at orbital altitudes of 300 to 2000 km), while also avoiding areas below 10° that are susceptible to multipath interference. This configuration of the primary antenna shortens search time compared to omnidirectional search, allowing for faster initial acquisition. Compared to the primary antenna, the backup antenna's azimuth sector range is 360°, and its elevation sector range is 0° to 90°, providing full coverage.
[0074] In this embodiment, the primary satellite is captured based on the primary satellite signal strength received by the primary antenna within the determined satellite search range of the primary antenna. Capturing the primary satellite is completed if and only if the received primary satellite signal strength is within a preset primary satellite signal strength range (-70dBm to 90dBm).
[0075] In one or more implementations, the satellite visibility window is calibrated based on the orbital data of the active satellite and the backup satellite after dynamic compensation.
[0076] Through the gyroscope and the real-time information of the captured satellite, the antenna compensation device calculates and realizes the dynamic compensation of the pointing angles of the main antenna and the backup antenna.
[0077] Using a gyroscope to detect changes in the device's attitude and combining it with the real-time location information of captured satellite communications equipment, the antenna compensation device dynamically calculates and controls the pointing angles of the primary and backup antennas in real time, ensuring the antenna beams are always aligned with the captured satellite. For example, if the device's pitch angle changes by 10°, the antenna compensation device will control the pitch angles of the primary and backup antennas to change by 10° simultaneously.
[0078] As one or more implementation methods, the satellite visibility window is calibrated based on the orbital data of the main satellite and the backup satellite after dynamic compensation; the satellite visibility window is predicted through a pre-established satellite orbit database, and the satellite visibility window is calibrated based on a set signal value range (such as signal strength greater than -120dBm) and lidar feedback (such as whether the motion trajectory is blocked).
[0079] In this embodiment, during the process of calibrating the satellite visible window, a lidar scan is performed in the antenna compensation direction to extract the obstacle contour on the satellite motion trajectory, and the obstacle occlusion trend is determined based on the extracted obstacle contour. The extreme visible window of the satellite is determined based on the obstacle occlusion trend, and the calibration of the satellite visible window is completed based on the extreme visible window and the determined satellite search range.
[0080] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when there is no obstruction, that is, by default, the default setting of the antenna elevation angle is 10°-170°; however, during the movement of the satellite, objects such as buildings between the antenna and the satellite will block the signal. Therefore, when the lidar detects obstructions such as buildings, it is necessary to modify the satellite visible window; when the antenna elevation angle is 70° and the lidar measures an elevation angle of 65 degrees (the specific degrees of these two elevation angles can be obtained by controlling the angle of the servo motor), it is blocked by a building, then the default elevation angle limit value needs to be adjusted to 65°.
[0081] It should be noted that the occlusion trend is to detect whether there are objects such as buildings blocking the view; the extreme visible window is the elevation angle when the occlusion is measured by the lidar.
[0082] As one or more implementation methods, the current angle of the satellite communication terminal is determined based on the current position information, and the relationship between the determined current angle of the satellite communication terminal and the calibrated satellite visible window is determined. When the current angle of the satellite communication terminal is at the edge of the satellite visible window, it is determined that the satellite is about to disappear in the satellite visible window; for example: the angle range of the satellite visible window is 10-90° relative to the ground, and at this time the elevation angle of the servo mechanism is 11°, which is close to the limit of the satellite visible window, then it is considered that the satellite is about to disappear in the satellite visible window.
[0083] When the satellite connected to the main antenna is about to disappear from the satellite visibility window, the RF module is controlled to switch to the backup antenna, connect to the backup satellite, and complete the switching of the main and backup antennas; in a mobile carrier environment, precise antenna orientation and efficient switching are achieved, ensuring the stability and reliability of satellite communications and improving communication performance.
[0084] This embodiment provides a low-cost, all-weather method for searching for low-orbit communication satellites and switching communication antennas. By using two sets of directional antennas, simultaneously aligning two satellites, and when the signal quality of one satellite degrades or disappears, the method immediately switches to the other satellite, ensuring the continuity and reliability of communication. This method does not rely on the construction and maintenance of ground stations, significantly reducing communication costs and improving communication flexibility and adaptability. Secondly, in the field of automatic control, the current position information of the satellite communication terminal can be obtained, and the current orientation and elevation angle of the two directional antennas can be obtained using a gyroscope. Automatic tracking and control of the satellite can be achieved based on the satellite communication terminal, thereby improving the degree of automation, reducing manual intervention, and improving the reliability and stability of dynamic roaming communications of low-orbit satellites.
[0085] The method proposed in this embodiment involves technologies such as calculation of satellite motion trajectories and prediction of satellite disappearance times, and can be applied to satellite navigation, weather forecasting, military reconnaissance and other fields, and has important scientific research and application value.
