Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of satellite communication technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for rapid establishment of inter-satellite links using microwave-laser coordination. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid deployment and continuous advancement of global low-Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations, inter-satellite links need to achieve "minute-level" network establishment over distances of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. Traditional pure laser inter-satellite links rely on a scan-acquisition-tracking process, initially pointing based on outdated orbital parameters of the target satellite as recorded on the ground. This necessitates spiral or grating scans over a large airspace during the acquisition phase, which can take several minutes or even longer. Furthermore, they are highly sensitive to attitude control accuracy, thermal deformation, and orbit prediction errors, posing a risk of link establishment failure. The high relative speeds and low orbital information update frequency between LEO satellites make them highly susceptible to re-scanning after loss of capture, severely impacting inter-satellite link establishment time and even leading to inefficient operation of the entire network. While pure microwave inter-satellite links are easier to acquire, their bandwidth and antenna size limitations make it difficult to meet the transmission demands of services ranging from hundreds of megabits to gigabits. Therefore, balancing "rapid acquisition" and "high-speed transmission" during the rapid constellation deployment phase has become a key bottleneck restricting the development of next-generation space-based networks.
[0003] Existing technologies simply superimpose microwave and laser links, but they mostly remain at the level of independent use of microwaves and lasers, lacking real-time communication of orbital parameters and joint pointing correction mechanisms. This results in the laser still needing to scan a large area; or it uses ground-based telemetry and control to project the orbit, which leads to high latency and large errors. In addition, traditional laser scanning modes are fixed and fail to dynamically compress the scanning range based on the relative direction vector provided by the microwave in real time, resulting in low scanning efficiency and high power consumption.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a microwave-laser collaborative rapid link establishment method and system that can quickly complete orbital data exchange, accurately complete laser pre-pointing, and reduce the uncertainty area of laser scanning.
[0005] Patent document CN111934743A (application number: 202010717043.7) discloses an inter-satellite link establishment method for an omnidirectional dynamic microwave-laser composite system, including the following steps: Orbital information uploading step: After the primary and secondary satellites enter orbit, their orbital parameters are determined by ground-based measurements and recursively calculated before being uploaded to the primary and secondary satellites respectively; Microwave link establishment step: The phased array antennas of the primary and secondary satellites perform microwave antenna pointing calculations based on the recursively calculated orbital parameters to establish a microwave link between the primary and secondary satellites; Laser link establishment step: The primary and secondary satellites exchange relative GNSS navigation information through the microwave link, and their laser terminals scan to complete bidirectional acquisition, thus establishing the laser link.

[0062] Step S4: The first integrated processing module 101 of the first satellite transmits the first relative direction vector A1, which is recursively pushed from the local satellite to the counterpart satellite, to the first laser communication control module 107. The first laser communication control module 107 performs coarse alignment by presetting the pointing angle of the first laser communication optical head module 106 based on the first relative direction vector A1. The second integrated processing module 201 of the second satellite transmits the second relative direction vector A2, which is recursively pushed from the local satellite to the counterpart satellite, to the second laser communication control module 207. The second laser communication control module 207 performs coarse alignment by presetting the pointing angle of the second laser communication optical head module 206 based on the second relative direction vector A2.
[0063] Step S5: The first satellite starts scanning with the first laser communication optical head module 106, while continuously updating orbit data and dynamically correcting the pointing via the microwave link; the second satellite starts scanning with the second laser communication optical head module 206, while continuously updating orbit data and dynamically correcting the pointing via the microwave link, thus establishing an inter-satellite laser link.
