Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radio communication technology, specifically relating to an eLoran signal field strength calculation method, system, device, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] In eLoran (Enhanced Long Range Navigation) timing systems, eLoran signal strength is a crucial parameter. It effectively characterizes the transmission power of the eLoran signal, providing vital support for determining the coverage area and studying radio wave propagation characteristics. Therefore, the accuracy and effectiveness of eLoran signal strength measurement are of great significance for ensuring the security and reliability of my country's timekeeping system. The eLoran signal strength calculation method is a critical step in eLoran signal strength measurement. This process requires accurately calculating the envelope amplitude of the eLoran signal at 25 μs, and then calculating the eLoran signal strength based on this amplitude, antenna factor, and feeder parameters. The location and method used to calculate the envelope amplitude at 25 μs significantly impact the accuracy of subsequent eLoran signal strength values; therefore, advanced eLoran signal strength calculation techniques are indispensable.

[0003] Currently, there is little literature discussing methods for measuring the field strength of eLoran signals. Because eLoran signals use the Loran pulse system, there are no dedicated, precise field strength meters available on the market. Generally, eLoran receivers manufactured by equipment companies are used to process and output the signal level, and the signal field strength is calculated by measuring the signal level. However, the primary purpose of the receiver is accurate decoding, and the methods employed revolve around this decoding process. For example, adaptive gain is used in the front-end eLoran signal processing, and hard limiting is used in subsequent decoding. This significantly affects the amplitude of the eLoran signal itself, resulting in inaccurate measurements of the eLoran signal field strength. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, system, device and medium for calculating eLoran signal field strength, so as to solve the technical problem of low accuracy in calculating eLoran signal field strength values ​​in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for calculating the field strength of an eLoran signal, comprising:

[0007] Obtain the eLoran signal, antenna factor, and feeder loss parameters, and linearly average the eLoran signal to obtain the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5 μs in the eLoran signal;

[0008] Based on the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5 μs, the preset amplitude ratio, and the preset weight, calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs.

[0009] The signal field strength was calculated based on the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs and the obtained antenna factor and feeder loss parameters.

[0010] Preferably, the eLoran signal is linearly averaged according to GRI (Group Repetition Interval).

[0011] Preferably, the preset amplitude ratio is the absolute value BR(t) of the ratio of the peak value of each peak before 37.5μs to the amplitude of the signal envelope at 25μs, specifically:

[0012]

[0015] If a smaller signal amplitude results in greater precision, then the weights of A3 and B4 are set to 0~0.1, the weights of A2 and B3 are set to 0.1~0.2, the weights of A1, B1, and B2 are set to 0.3~0.4, and the sum of the weights of A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, and B4 is 1.

[0016] Preferably, the step of calculating the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs based on the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs, a preset amplitude ratio, and a preset weight, specifically uses the following formula:

[0017]

[0018] In the formula, AM represents the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, WEi represents the weight corresponding to the peak value at the i-th position, Ai represents the peak value corresponding to the positive peak in the i-th week, POi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the positive peak in the i-th week, Bi represents the peak value corresponding to the negative peak in the i-th week, and NEi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the negative peak in the i-th week.

[0019] Preferably, the step of calculating the signal field strength based on the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs and the obtained antenna factor and feeder loss parameters specifically involves:

[0020] Signal field strength = signal envelope amplitude at 25μs - antenna factor + feeder loss parameter.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an eLoran signal field strength calculation system, comprising:

[0022] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the eLoran signal, antenna factor and feeder loss parameters, and linearly average the eLoran signal to obtain the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs in the eLoran signal.

[0023] The first calculation unit is used to calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs based on the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs, the preset amplitude ratio relationship, and the preset weight.

[0024] The second calculation unit is used to calculate the signal field strength based on the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs and the obtained antenna factor and feeder loss parameters.

[0025] Preferably, in the first calculation unit, the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs is calculated using the following formula:

[0026]

[0027] In the formula, AM represents the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, WEi represents the weight corresponding to the peak value at the i-th position, Ai represents the peak value corresponding to the positive peak in the i-th week, POi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the positive peak in the i-th week, Bi represents the peak value corresponding to the negative peak in the i-th week, and NEi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the negative peak in the i-th week.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] This invention uses the peaks of the eLoran signal and their corresponding proportional relationships to calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs. If the peak value of a certain peak is affected by interference, this method can reduce such influence and improve the accuracy of the calculation. Using weights to calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs allows full utilization of signal characteristics and signal processing methods to improve calculation accuracy. For example, skywave interference in the eLoran signal occurs in the 37.5-1500 μs range, so the weight of the signal peak value after 37.5 μs can be adjusted to 0 to avoid skywave interference.

[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0039] The following detailed description is exemplary and intended to provide further detailed explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention.

[0040] See Figure 1 This application discloses a method for calculating the field strength of an eLoran signal, including:

[0041] S1: Obtain the eLoran signal, antenna factor and feeder loss parameters, and linearly average the eLoran signal to obtain the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs in the eLoran signal;

[0042] S2: Calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs based on the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs, the preset amplitude ratio, and the preset weights;

[0043] S3: The signal strength is calculated based on the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs and the obtained antenna factor and feeder loss parameters. The signal envelope amplitude at 25μs is calculated using the peaks of the eLoran signal and their corresponding proportional relationships. If the peak value of a certain peak is affected by interference, this method can reduce such influence and improve the accuracy of the calculation. Weighting is used to calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, which fully utilizes the characteristics of the signal and the signal processing method to improve the accuracy of the calculation. For example, skywave interference in the eLoran signal occurs in the 37.5-1500μs range, so the weight of the signal peak value after 37.5μs can be adjusted to 0 to avoid skywave interference.

[0044] In some embodiments, the eLoran signal is linearly averaged according to GRI (Group Repetition Interval).

[0045] In some embodiments, since sky waves typically reappear 37.5-1500 μs after ground waves, data from 37.5 μs prior is used for calculations to eliminate the influence of sky waves. The preset amplitude ratio is the absolute value BR(t) of the ratio of the peak value of each peak before 37.5 μs to the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs, specifically:

[0046]

[0047] In the formula, BR(t) represents the absolute value of the ratio of the peak value of each peak before 37.5μs to the amplitude of the signal envelope at 25μs; This represents the absolute value of the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs; This represents the absolute value of the signal envelope amplitude at time t; This indicates the time from the start of the signal to this point. Here, the time corresponding to the peak value of the signal is taken, for example, 12.5, 22.5, 32.5, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments, the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5 μs include: a third positive peak value A3, a second positive peak value A2, a first positive peak value A1, a fourth negative peak value B4, a third negative peak value B3, a second negative peak value B2, and a first negative peak value B1; the preset weights are specifically determined based on the output signal characteristics obtained by the signal processing method, specifically: if the signal amplitude is larger and more accurate, then the weights of A3 and B4 are set to 0.3~0.4, the weights of A2 and B3 are set to 0.1~0.2, the weights of A1, B1, and B2 are set to 0~0.1, and the sum of the weights of A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, and B4 is 1;

[0049] If a smaller signal amplitude results in greater precision, then the weights of A3 and B4 are set to 0~0.1, the weights of A2 and B3 are set to 0.1~0.2, the weights of A1, B1, and B2 are set to 0.3~0.4, and the sum of the weights of A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, and B4 is 1.

[0050] Preferably, the step of calculating the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs based on the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs, a preset amplitude ratio, and a preset weight, specifically uses the following formula:

[0051]

[0052] In the formula, AM represents the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, WEi represents the weight corresponding to the peak value at the i-th position, Ai represents the peak value corresponding to the positive peak in the i-th week, POi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the positive peak in the i-th week, Bi represents the peak value corresponding to the negative peak in the i-th week, and NEi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the negative peak in the i-th week.

[0053] In some embodiments, the calculation of the signal field strength based on the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs and the obtained antenna factor and feeder loss parameters specifically involves:

[0054] Signal field strength = signal envelope amplitude at 25μs - antenna factor + feeder loss parameter.

[0055] In some embodiments, the present invention indirectly derives the field strength of the eLoran signal by calculating the envelope amplitude of the eLoran signal at 25 μs. The specific signal field strength calculation process is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0056] First, the received eLoran signal is linearly averaged according to GRI. Since the values ​​corresponding to each peak in the signal have a fixed proportional relationship with the amplitude of the signal envelope at 25 μs, the amplitude corresponding to that point's envelope is calculated using the values ​​of each peak. Let the time corresponding to a certain peak be t, and the absolute value of the ratio of the peak value of that peak to the amplitude of the signal envelope at 25 μs be BR(t), then we have:

[0057] (1)

[0058] Based on the above calculation formula, the ratio of the peak value of each peak to the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs can be obtained. Since sky waves typically reappear 37.5-1500 μs after ground waves, to eliminate the influence of sky waves, data before 37.5 μs is used for calculation. The table below shows the ratio of the peak value of each peak before 37.5 μs to the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs.

[0059] Table 1. Ratios of each peak amplitude to the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs.

[0060]

[0061] Where AM represents the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, A1, A2, A3, and A4 represent the positive peak values ​​corresponding to each cycle from the start of the signal, and B1, B2, B3, and B4 represent the negative peak values ​​corresponding to each cycle from the start of the signal. A detailed diagram is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, PO1, PO2, PO3, PO4 and NE1, NE2, NE3, NE4 represent the ratios in parentheses.

[0062] Due to the characteristics of signal processing algorithms, the accuracy of signal amplitude corresponding to different peaks may vary. Therefore, when calculating the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, the peak with the more accurate amplitude should be selected and given a higher weight. For example, when the front-end signal processing method is wavelet hard thresholding, the larger the signal amplitude, the lower the probability of distortion after hard thresholding. Therefore, when calculating the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, the peak with the larger amplitude should be given a higher weight. The specific calculation formula is shown below:

[0063] (2)

[0064] Where WEi represents the weight corresponding to the peak value at the i-th position, Ai represents the peak value corresponding to the positive peak at the i-th week, POi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the positive peak at the i-th week, Bi represents the peak value corresponding to the negative peak at the i-th week, and NEi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the negative peak at the i-th week.

[0065] After calculating the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs using the above formula, the field strength value of the eLoran signal can be indirectly calculated using the following formula.

[0066] Signal field strength = signal envelope amplitude at 25μs - antenna factor + feeder loss parameter.

[0067] This invention uses the peak value and ratio relationship of each peak of the eLoran signal to indirectly calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs. Each peak has a corresponding weight, and the weight allocation is adjusted according to signal processing and eLoran signal characteristics. After calculating the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs relatively accurately, the actual signal field strength at that point is calculated based on parameters such as antenna factor and feed line.

[0068] This application also discloses an eLoran signal field strength calculation system, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 ,include:

[0069] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the eLoran signal, antenna factor and feeder loss parameters, and linearly average the eLoran signal to obtain the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs in the eLoran signal.

[0070] The first calculation unit is used to calculate the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs based on the peak values ​​of each peak before 37.5μs, the preset amplitude ratio relationship, and the preset weight.

[0071] The second calculation unit is used to calculate the signal field strength based on the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs and the obtained antenna factor and feeder loss parameters.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first calculation unit calculates the signal envelope amplitude at 25 μs using the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula, AM represents the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs, WEi represents the weight corresponding to the peak value at the i-th position, Ai represents the peak value corresponding to the positive peak in the i-th week, POi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the positive peak in the i-th week, Bi represents the peak value corresponding to the negative peak in the i-th week, and NEi represents the ratio of the signal envelope amplitude at 25μs to the peak value of the negative peak in the i-th week.
