[0002] Underwater navigation and positioning technologies mainly include acoustics, inertial, matching (terrain, gravity, magnetic force, etc.), radio navigation, etc. Although underwater sound has less attenuation, the channel has space-time variation characteristics, and the sound signal transmitted through the underwater sound channel will have Doppler effect and multipath effect. The complexity of the marine environment makes it difficult for underwater sound navigation, and it is difficult to position in the sound shadow area. Inertial navigation has drift and needs to be calibrated periodically. Matching navigation requires background field and characteristic environmental characteristics, and is less available and has large matching errors in areas where characteristics are not obvious. The shore-based very low frequency radio navigation signal has a certain water entry capability, but the water entry depth is about tens of meters underwater, and can only provide navigation and positioning services for underwater shallow layer carriers.

[0003] The existing shore-based high-power very low frequency and extremely low frequency emission station signal has a large electromagnetic energy attenuation when passing through a long transmission distance and crossing the air-sea interface. The shore-based very low frequency radio signal (3k-30kHz) has a water entry depth of about tens of meters, and the shore-based extremely low frequency (30-300Hz) has a water entry depth of about hundreds of meters. The construction cost of the shore-based very low frequency or extremely low frequency emission station is high, and the water entry depth is limited, making it difficult to achieve a water entry depth of more than 1000 meters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0069] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0071] The application is described below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 8 The application is described below in conjunction with

[0072] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for near-field radio transmission and deep underwater navigation and positioning provided by the present application is shown, which comprises:

[0073] S1: deploying a near-field very low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device on the water surface;

[0074] S2: setting the parameters of the underwater receiving unit and deploying the underwater body;

[0075] S3: using the near-field very low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device to navigate and position the underwater body, and obtaining the positioning coordinates.

[0076] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 The working schematic diagram of the near-field radio transmission and receiving system is given. The underwater body receives the very low frequency electromagnetic signals of the near-field very low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device 1, near-field very low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device 2, and near-field very low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device 3 deployed on the water surface. By measuring the time difference of the frequency signal, the distance between the underwater receiving unit and the three near-field radio transmitting devices is determined.

[0077] As an example, assume that each near-field extremely low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device adopts two sets of transmitting frequencies, the frequency of the near-field extremely low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device 1 is F1, F2, the frequency of the near-field extremely low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device 2 is F3, F4, and the frequency of the near-field extremely low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device 3 is F5, F6, a total of 6 transmitting frequencies, and the range of the 6 transmitting frequencies is 5Hz-10Hz. Each set of transmitting frequencies corresponds to a fixed allocation of each near-field transmitting device, and the receiving end can be used to distinguish which near-field transmitting device transmits the signal according to the received signal frequency. A typical example of frequency setting is (5Hz, 6Hz), (7Hz, 8Hz), (9Hz, 10Hz). The time difference of arrival of signals with different frequencies is measured to obtain the range value. For example, in seawater with a conductivity of 4S / m, the speed difference of (5Hz, 6Hz) is 337m / s, the speed difference of (7Hz, 8Hz) is 290m / s, and the speed difference of (9Hz, 10Hz) is 256m / s. Since the signal transmission time of each extremely low-frequency electromagnetic frequency is aligned with the world system coordinated time second, by measuring the time difference of arrival of each set of electric field signal frequencies, and according to the linear relationship between the speed difference and the arrival time difference and the propagation distance, the range value is calculated. Combined with the water depth value obtained by the water pressure sensor 62 of the receiving unit in the water, and the position data transmitted by the near-field radio transmitting device, through least square method, the position of the underwater load can be determined.

[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The near-field extremely low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device includes the following modules: a signal source and transmission control device 34, a super capacitor group 33, a superconducting energy storage coil 32, and a loop antenna 31.

[0079] The signal source and transmission control device 34 is connected with the super capacitor group 33,

[0080] The super capacitor group 33 is connected with the superconducting energy storage coil 32;

[0081] The superconducting energy storage coil 32 is connected with the loop antenna 31;

[0082] The signal source and transmission control device 34 is used to control the signal transmission of the near-field extremely low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device.

[0083] The loop antenna 31 is wound with more than 1000 magnet wires for more than 10 turns, the radius of the loop antenna 31 is greater than 50 meters, the loop antenna 31 is wrapped with insulation material outside the coil, and more than 8 floating body materials are deployed on the coil. The superconducting energy storage coil 32 is wound with superconducting material to form more than 8 coil cakes, and the superconducting energy storage coil 32 is soaked in -196.15℃ liquid nitrogen for heat preservation; the capacitance of the super capacitor is greater than 1F.

[0084] Specifically, step S1 includes:

[0085] S11: Install several near-field ultra-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitters on the water surface, with the distance between two near-field ultra-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitters being greater than 1.5 kilometers;

[0086] S12: Connect adjacent near-field ultra-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitters using ropes.

[0087] According to the near-field radio transmission deep-sea navigation and positioning method provided by the present invention, step S11 includes:

[0088] When N near-field ultra-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitters are installed, the near-field ultra-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitters are arranged in a regular N-gon.

[0089] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the supercapacitor bank 33 and its switch. Different supercapacitor capacities are selected based on the switch, forming an LC oscillation circuit with the inductance of the superconducting energy storage coil 32 and the transmitting ring antenna 31 to generate the operating frequency of the transmitted electromagnetic signal. The supercapacitor capacity is generally greater than 1F, enabling rapid high-current charging and discharging, with currents reaching up to 1000A. The signal source and transmission control switch open and close, replenishing the energy of the LC oscillation circuit formed by the inductance of the energy storage coil and transmitting ring antenna 31, ensure long-term operation.

[0090] Specifically, the supercapacitor group 33 includes a first switch 41, a first capacitor 42, a second switch 43, and a second capacitor 44; by opening and closing the first switch 41 and the second switch 43, the near-field ultra-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitter can transmit signals of two frequencies.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, the signal source and broadcast control device 34 includes the following modules: satellite navigation timing receiver 51, time reference unit 52, central control unit 53, and power amplifier unit 54;

[0092] The satellite navigation timing receiver 51 and the time reference unit 52 are connected;

[0093] The satellite navigation timing receiver 51 and the central control unit 53;

[0094] The satellite navigation timing receiver 51 is used to receive clock signals and latitude and longitude positions, and sends the clock signals to the time reference unit 52 and the latitude and longitude positions to the central control unit 53.

[0095] The time reference unit 52 is connected to the central control unit 53, and the time reference unit 52 is used to provide a clock signal to the central control unit 53.

[0096] The central control unit 53 is connected with the power amplification unit 54;

[0097] The central control unit 53 is connected with the super capacitor switch assembly 55;

[0098] The central control unit 53 is used to control the power amplification unit 54 and the super capacitor switch assembly 55;

[0099] The power amplification unit 54 is used to amplify signals,

[0100] The super capacitor switch assembly 55 is used to control the access of the super capacitor group 33.

[0101] The satellite navigation and timing receiver 51 receives satellite navigation signals, obtains latitude and longitude position data and time information, and sends a time coordinated universal time (UTC) 1PPS second signal to the time reference unit 52 (including a rubidium clock). The central control unit 53 controls the super capacitor switch assembly 55 to switch different low-frequency electromagnetic signals at the whole second moment of UTC time according to the set frequency group and signal transmission sequence, amplifies the low-frequency electromagnetic signal of the set frequency through the power amplification unit 54, and then transmits it through the loop antenna 31. Frequency division signal transmission is adopted to ensure that mutual interference does not occur at the receiving end. The stability and accuracy of the time reference are better than 1E-11, which ensures the time accurate synchronization of the transmission time. The power amplification unit 54 adopts pulse power amplification to compensate for the energy loss of the superconducting energy storage coil 32 and the super capacitor during oscillation, so that the peak strength of the magnetic field emitted by the loop antenna 31 is greater than 1T. The central control unit 53 works according to the following steps: first, complete system startup self-checking to ensure that the satellite navigation and timing receiver 51 can normally receive satellite navigation signals and realize normal output of position data and timing signals. Second, adjust the time reference of the time reference unit 52 (including a rubidium clock) so that the second pulse of the time reference unit 52 is synchronized with the satellite navigation UTC time 1PPS. Third, according to the set working frequency and time sequence, control the super capacitor switch assembly 55 to switch at the whole second moment of UTC time, so as to realize periodic low-frequency navigation signal transmission.

[0102] Specifically, step S2 includes:

[0103] S21: Obtain the latitude and longitude position data of the center of the loop antenna 31 of the near-field low-frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device deployed on the water surface through the satellite navigation and timing receiver 51;

[0104] S22: The water surface deployed three near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device position data, extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting frequency data, transmitting signal timing and other parameters are set into the underwater receiving unit of the underwater body by binding, and the water pressure sensor 62 of the underwater receiving unit is calibrated. When the water depth measurement accuracy is less than 0.2 meters, the underwater body is laid and step S3 is executed. If the water depth measurement accuracy is not less than 0.2 meters, the measurement is suspended.

[0105] Specifically, step S3 includes:

[0106] S31: All near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting devices transmit signals in a time sequence, wherein the nth near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device transmits electromagnetic pulse signals at F 2n-1 frequency for a first time length, the nth near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device stops transmitting signals for a second time length, the nth near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device transmits electromagnetic pulse signals at F 2n frequency for a third time length, and the nth near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device stops transmitting signals for a fourth time length, wherein n is the ordinal number of the near-field extremely low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting device.

[0107] S32: The underwater body receives electromagnetic pulse signals and calculates the difference between two signals, and the signal phase measurement is solved to obtain the distance of the underwater body from the extremely low frequency navigation signal transmitting device .

[0108] S33: The least square method is used to solve the equation to calculate the position of the underwater body:

[0109]

[0110] wherein, is the horizontal coordinate of the underwater body position, is the horizontal coordinate of the position of the extremely low frequency navigation signal transmitting device; is the vertical coordinate of the underwater body position, is the vertical coordinate of the position of the extremely low frequency navigation signal transmitting device; is the depth of the underwater body;

[0111] S34: The clock signal of the extremely low frequency navigation signal transmitting device is synchronized according to the clock difference between the underwater body and the extremely low frequency navigation signal transmitting device.

[0112] As Figure 6 shown, Figure 6The equipment composition of the underwater receiving unit. The superconducting quantum interference magnetometer 61 receives different frequency extremely low frequency electromagnetic signals emitted by the surface near-field radio transmitting device, and sends the signals to the navigation positioning processing unit 63 for time difference of arrival measurement. The water pressure sensor 62 sends the measured water depth data to the navigation positioning processing unit 63.

[0113] The double-frequency electromagnetic pulse time difference measurement adopts the pulse signal matched correlation method, and the measurement accuracy of the time difference of arrival is better than 0.1 ms, the ranging error is between 0.25-0.33 meters, and the ranging accuracy is high. The navigation positioning processing unit 63 obtains the ranging value, the water depth value and the position data of the surface near-field radio transmitting device according to the ranging value obtained by the time difference of arrival measurement, and obtains the position data of the underwater load through least square solution. When the geometric factor (DOP) of the underwater load receiving three surface electromagnetic pulse signals is less than 10, the positioning accuracy is better than 3.3 meters.

[0114] The frequency range of the received signal of the superconducting quantum interference magnetometer 61 is 4-11 Hz, and the sensitivity is better than 0.01 nT. For 5-10 Hz extremely low frequency signals, when the peak value of the magnetic field signal strength at the transmitting end is greater than 10 T, after 3000 meters of near-field attenuation of seawater (estimated according to the third power of distance), the received signal magnetic field strength at the receiving end is greater than 0.37 nT, which is much higher than the receiving sensitivity of the superconducting quantum interference magnetometer 61, and has good electromagnetic signal receiving and measuring capability.

[0115] In the marine resource exploration area, three near-field radio transmitting devices are deployed on the sea surface to provide real-time positioning services for underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). In deep-sea scientific research, multiple carriers are used in the hydrothermal vent area (water depth 3800m) to provide high-precision navigation and positioning services for underwater AUVs. When providing navigation and positioning services in the hydrothermal area, the underwater receiving unit in the underwater load needs to be heat-insulated and protected to ensure normal operation in high-temperature hydrothermal environment.

[0116] In the area where underwater navigation services are needed on the Arctic ice surface, three near-field radio transmitting devices are deployed on the sea ice to provide high-precision navigation and positioning services for large-depth underwater loads under the sea ice. When providing navigation and positioning services under the Arctic sea ice, the near-field radio transmitting devices on the ice surface need to be protected at low temperature to ensure normal operation in the low-temperature environment of the Arctic.
