[0002] Among the key means currently used to obtain precise time and location information, low-frequency radio navigation / timing systems have become an important component of the Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system due to their outstanding advantages such as low propagation loss, strong anti-interference ability, and long propagation distance.

[0003] However, the existing two-dimensional propagation delay prediction theory cannot fully reflect the interaction between low-frequency ground waves and complex terrain environments. Among them, the parabolic equation (PE) method, which can achieve both high precision and fast speed, has problems such as unstable Brewster angle and inaccurate terrain modeling in its three-dimensional extension, which leads to inaccurate prediction results of low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics.

[0004] Accurately modeling complex terrain and comprehensively considering the impact of changes in earth conductivity and undulating terrain on low-frequency ground waves along the propagation path effectively address the problem that two-dimensional models cannot account for phenomena such as reflection and diffraction caused by lateral wave propagation. At the same time, solving the three-dimensional parabolic equation (3DPE) to more accurately predict the propagation delay of low-frequency ground waves when propagating over irregular terrain is a key issue in improving the accuracy of low-frequency wireless navigation / timing systems.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method that can accurately predict the propagation characteristics of low-frequency ground waves in paths over undulating terrain. Summary of the Invention

This method can accurately predict the propagation characteristics of low-frequency ground waves on undulating terrain.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The method for predicting low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics over undulating terrain based on the FD algorithm includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1. Input the model file. The content of the input model file includes the grid parameters of the calculation area, the electrical parameters of the radio wave propagation path, and the excitation source parameters.

[0010] Step 2. Calculate the initial field using the flat ground formula and use the initial field as the source field for 3DPE.

[0011] Step 3. Establish a 3DPE model under irregular terrain;

[0012] Step 4. Construct the discretized matrix equation for solving the 3DPE model;

[0013] Step 5. Merge the boundary impedance conditions of the 3DPE model based on the unilateral approximation method;

[0014] Step 6. Iteratively solve the field matrix based on the discretized matrix equation and the boundary impedance conditions of the 3DPE model to obtain the field distribution results in the entire calculation area;

[0015] Step 7. Using the field results in the entire calculation area, calculate the magnetic field strength of the low-frequency ground wave propagating along the path of the undulating terrain. And the secondary delay generated .

[0016] In addition, based on the above-mentioned method for predicting low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics of a path over undulating terrain based on the FD algorithm, the present invention also proposes a computer device, which includes a memory and one or more processors;

[0017] The memory stores executable codes, and when the processor executes the executable codes, it is used to implement the steps of the above-mentioned method for predicting low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics of a path over undulating terrain based on the FD algorithm.

The present method not only effectively solves the problem of inaccurate characterization of low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics in modeling laterally irregular terrain using the two-dimensional parabolic equation (2DPE) method, but also overcomes the limitations of the traditional 3DPE model, which lacks sufficient accuracy in predicting low-frequency ground wave propagation in complex undulating terrain environments, thereby improving the accuracy of predicting low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics over undulating terrain.

[0048] in, express The ground wave magnetic field component at As the source field of 3DPE.

[0049] Step 3. Build a 3DPE model under irregular terrain.

[0065] According to the CMM-3DPE form derived from formula (5), at the midpoint Place The first derivative of the direction is written as:

[0066] (7)

[0067] in, is the grid point at value.

[0068] First, for The first derivative of the direction is expressed as forward difference and averaging as follows:

[0102] (25)

[0103] It is worth noting that when the method of the present invention is used to solve 3DPE, Absorption boundaries need to be set in the a and z directions to simulate the wave propagation to infinity and eliminate the reflection caused by artificial truncation. The absorbing boundary settings are as follows:

[0107] Then 3DPE In-plane absorbing boundary attenuation function for:

[0108] (28)

[0109] Starting from the initial distance, in each matrix calculation, the field distribution calculated by 3DPE needs to be multiplied by .

[0110] Step 5. Incorporate the boundary impedance conditions of the 3DPE model based on the one-side approximation method.

[0111] The impedance boundary condition in the transformed coordinate system is:

[0116] in, express The field value at .

[0117] Using central difference approximation at and use the boundary conditions to calculate the boundary at Partial derivatives, we get:

[0118] (31)

[0119] in, express The field value at .

[0120] Substituting formula (28) and formula (31) into the 3D-CMM-PE of formula (28), we obtain:

[0131] (38b)

[0132] (39a)

[0133] (39b)

[0134] because and The form and and The form is the same, so the coefficient matrix constant.

[0135] In step 5 of the method of the present invention, the second-order derivative on the boundary surface is expressed by a unilateral approximation, and the second-order derivative is expressed by an impedance boundary condition. Then, the PE equation, i.e., the CMM-PE equation, which introduces a shift transformation model, is substituted into the equation to obtain an equation that satisfies both the impedance boundary condition and the CMM-PE. This simplifies the amount of calculation while ensuring the calculation accuracy of the 3DPE model.

[0136] Step 6. Based on the discretized matrix equation and the boundary impedance conditions of the 3DPE model, the field matrix is ​​iteratively solved to obtain the field distribution results in the entire calculation area.

[0137] First, let the result on the right side of formula (20) be the matrix ,Right now:

[0138] (40)

[0139] Next, let the matrix for:

[0140] (41)

[0148] middle field is done by The combination obtained, Expressed as:

[0149] (44)

[0150] If the convergence conditions are met, then:

[0151] (45)

[0152] in, is the convergence decision constant, which can generally be taken .

[0153] Solve the intermediate solution by formula (44) In this case The iterative process is to determine the current Does it satisfy formula (45)? If not, let , and return to formula (43) and continue to refine the solution , until formula (45) is satisfied, the calculation is completed, and the field distribution results in the entire calculation area are obtained. .

[0154] Step 7. Using the field results in the entire calculation area, calculate the magnetic field strength of the low-frequency ground wave propagating along the path of the undulating terrain. And the secondary delay generated .

[0160] When the radio wave propagation path is set to an undulating terrain path, the relative dielectric constant and conductivity are and , the phase of the low-frequency ground wave propagating on the undulating terrain path is obtained by formula (46): .

[0161] When the wave propagation path is set to a good conductor path, the relative dielectric constant and conductivity are and , the phase of the low-frequency ground wave propagating on the good conductor path is obtained by formula (46): .

[0162] Calculate the secondary delay of low-frequency ground waves propagating over undulating terrain The formula is:

[0163] (47).

[0164] In addition, in order to verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in the present invention, the following specific experiments are given:

[0165] Experiment 1 compares the magnetic field intensity and quadratic time delay prediction results of the 3D-CMM-PE method based on the unilateral approximate boundary merging scheme, namely the method of the present invention, the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method (3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain, 3D-FDTD) method, and the two-dimensional parabolic equation method based on the shift transformation model (2D-Conform Map Model Parabolic Equation, 2D-CMM-PE).

[0166] In the 3D-CMM-PE calculation model, the calculation area is { , , }, the grid size is defined as m. In the 3D-FDTD calculation model, the calculation area is { , , }, the grid size is defined as m, time step The ground electrical parameters are , S / m, the mountain range is a Gaussian structure, and its height function in the rectangular coordinate system The form is as follows: .

[0167] Among them, H is the height of Gauss Mountain, which is km, and Gauss Mountain and The center of the direction, the value is km, km, and To control the mountain and Parameters of the direction width, the width control parameters are km.

[0168] Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7The present invention is based on the 3D-CMM-PE method of the unilateral approximate boundary merging scheme, the 2D parabolic equation 2D-CMM-PE method based on the shift transformation model and the 3D finite difference time domain 3D-FDTD method in Magnetic field strength at the surface on a plane and quadratic delay The prediction results. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the field strength and quadratic time delay calculated by the three methods are basically the same. However, the 2D-CMM-PE method cannot predict the influence of lateral terrain on the propagation of low-frequency ground waves, resulting in a significant difference between its results behind the mountain and those of the other two three-dimensional methods.

[0169] Experiment 2 shows the prediction results of the magnetic field strength and secondary time delay of two mountain ranges on the propagation of low-frequency ground waves.

[0170] In this experiment, the calculation area is set the same as in Experiment 1, and the low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics are predicted by the method proposed in this invention. Terrain height function in the propagation path in the rectangular coordinate system The form is:

[0172] Among them, the height of the two peaks and Both are 1.5km, mountain width control parameters km, km. Fixed the first peak at and The center positions of the directions are km, km; the second peak is The center position of the direction is also km.

[0173] Figure 5 and Figure 6 For two Gaussian peaks, when the position of the first mountain is fixed, the second mountain is The center positions of the directions are 8km on the low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Can see the magnetic field strength and quadratic delay There is a significant superposition between the two mountains, which is caused by the reflection effect of low-frequency ground wave transverse waves between the two mountains.

[0174] The method of the present invention overcomes the problem that the 2DPE method cannot consider the influence of lateral irregular terrain on low-frequency ground waves, and overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional 3DPE method in solving and predicting the accuracy of low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics in undulating terrain. The FD algorithm is used to solve 3D-CMM-PE, which not only reduces the influence of dispersion error, but also can predict the lateral diffraction effect caused by the interaction between irregular terrain and low-frequency ground waves, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of low-frequency ground wave propagation characteristics in undulating terrain.
