Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vacuum maglev train technology, and in particular to a method for analyzing the channel characteristics of leaky cables in vacuum maglev trains based on multi-source geometry. Background Technology
[0002] While traditional wheel-rail high-speed rail is developing rapidly in China, the development of ultra-high-speed rail—the vacuum tube maglev train, known as the "fifth mode of transportation"—is also gradually coming into people's view. The vacuum tube maglev train is a new type of rail transportation that operates without onboard power in a low-mechanical-friction, low-aerodynamic-resistance, and low-noise mode. It achieves ultra-high-speed rail transport exceeding 1000 km / h by constructing a sealed tube above or below ground and using a vacuum pump to extract air into the tube, creating a vacuum or partial vacuum state inside.
[0003] In recent years, the research and development of vacuum tube maglev trains has accelerated both domestically and internationally. In China, in 2014, Southwest Jiaotong University built a prototype test platform for a 6-meter-radius vacuum tube ultra-high-speed maglev train, with the model train capable of reaching a maximum operating speed of 50 km / h. In May 2020, Southwest Jiaotong University launched the "Multi-Mode Coupled Rail Transit Dynamic Test Platform" project, which will construct a 1620-meter-long elevated vacuum tube high-temperature superconducting maglev transportation comprehensive research and test platform with a designed maximum test speed of 1500 km / h.
[0004] The safe and efficient operation of vacuum tube maglev trains relies on the support and guarantee of a stable and reliable wireless communication system. As the foundation of wireless communication system design, an accurate wireless channel provides crucial guidance for technical evaluation, system simulation, and network coverage planning during system design.
[0005] The vacuum tube system in existing technologies is still in the testing and verification stage, and research on its actual wireless channel measurement and modeling remains limited; therefore, theoretical simulation can be used to simulate the vacuum tube environment. Previous studies have used some theoretical methods to conduct preliminary research on vehicle-to-ground wireless communication. Existing technologies include schemes that use propagation graph theory to model the wireless channel in the vacuum tube scenario and analyze the relevant location-based wireless channel characteristics. Other existing technologies have developed a 3D non-stationary millimeter-wave (mmWave) GBSM model to explore the channel characteristics in the vacuum tube scenario and studied several key time-varying channel statistical characteristics, comparing them with existing HST and tunnel channels. Furthermore, existing technologies have proposed a novel integrated sensing and communication GBSM channel model combining forward and backscattering and studied the correlation between the sensing and communication channels. Finally, existing technologies have used a new deterministic model based on three-dimensional non-stationary geometry to analyze the effective scattering of wireless communication between the hyperloop train and the distribution characteristics of azimuth and elevation angles. Existing technologies and methods also employ ray tracing to simulate the radio wave propagation characteristics in a 3.5 GHz vacuum tube environment and analyze path loss under different deployment configurations. Other existing technologies and methods use ray tracing to study the wireless channel characteristics of Hyperloops in four different millimeter-wave frequency bands and analyze large-scale and small-scale channel characteristics, including path loss, shadowing fading, delay spread, and angular spread. There are also some vacuum tube channel modeling methods based on hybrid models.
[0006] Using leaky coaxial cables (LCXs) in high-speed railway tunnels can reduce the impact of complex channel characteristics on signal transmission, while improving the reliability, stability, and efficiency of signal transmission. Due to the structural similarities between railway tunnels and vacuum tubes, existing research on tunnel-based wireless channel modeling can serve as a reference. Utilizing the electric field distribution of leaky cables, existing technologies have derived the CIR function of communication channel models in high-speed railway tunnel scenarios and developed a geometry-based single-bounce multiple-input multiple-output (GBSB-MIMO) channel model for high-speed railway communication systems. Other existing technologies propose an improved geometry-based GBSB-MIMO channel model, considering the Doppler spread effect, and study its time-domain statistics through numerical simulation. Furthermore, the impact of different factors (including cable trench spacing and the number and location of LCXs) on 5G system-level performance is analyzed. Finally, existing technologies have developed a 3D non-stationary MIMO leaky cable channel model for high-mobility wireless communication systems in high-speed railway tunnel scenarios, considering the 1.8 GHz band and a high-speed railway operating speed of 360 km / h.
[0007] Currently, existing methods for studying the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in confined spaces include ray tracing, waveguide theory, and finite-difference electromagnetic theory calculations. Ray tracing, however, struggles to statistically identify all electromagnetic wave propagation paths, involves significant computational costs, and is not adept at accurately describing tunnel propagation characteristics. Waveguide theory directly approximates a tunnel as a large-scale waveguide and uses related theories to describe the propagation patterns of electromagnetic waves within it. Its limitation lies in the fact that tunnels lack the shape and regularity of waveguides, thus restricting this approximation. Finite-difference electromagnetic theory calculations primarily model the propagation process of electromagnetic waves starting from the emission source based on Maxwell's equations. This method offers high modeling accuracy, but even using a simplified version of the vector parabolic equation method, the computational load remains substantial. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Leaky cable: A coaxial communication cable with periodically slotted outer conductor, possessing both electromagnetic wave transmission and radiation capabilities. Multi-source geometry: By treating the slots in the leaky cable as equivalent to magnetic dipole antennas, and using geometry-based random channel modeling for each magnetic dipole antenna and superimposing them, the entire leaky cable channel is modeled.
[0042] This invention designs a method for modeling the channel of a leaky cable in a vacuum maglev train based on multi-source geometry. By equating the gaps in the leaky cable with magnetic dipole antennas, and starting from the radio wave propagation mechanism, it analyzes the electric field distribution of the magnetic dipole antenna in the leaky cable within a confined, narrow pipe. Through the superposition of multiple gaps, a complete electric field distribution under the operating scenario of the vacuum maglev train is constructed. Based on the above electric field distribution, this invention employs a geometry-based random channel modeling method to analyze the channel impulse response expressions of a single magnetic dipole antenna under LoS (Line of Sight) and NLoS (Non-Line of Sight) conditions. By superimposing the impulse responses of multiple sources, the expression form of the complete leaky cable channel impulse response under the operating scenario of the vacuum maglev train is further derived. LoS refers to the unobstructed direct propagation path between the transmitter and receiver, while NLoS refers to the indirect propagation path between the transmitter and receiver through reflection from scatterers.
[0043] Based on the above channel impulse response expression and combined with the scattering point distribution function of the confined narrow pipe wall, the space-time correlation function expressions of the LoS path and NLoS path of the complete leaky cable channel are derived, and the non-stationary channel characteristics in the scenario of leaky cable in vacuum maglev train are analyzed.
[0044] The implementation principle of the method for analyzing the channel characteristics of leaky cables in vacuum maglev trains based on multi-source geometry provided in this invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific processing flow is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the processing steps include the following: Step S10: Treat the leaky cable gap of the vacuum maglev train as an equivalent magnetic dipole antenna, and analyze the characteristics of the radiated electric field distribution of the magnetic dipole antenna in the leaky cable gap within a confined narrow pipe, starting from the electromagnetic wave propagation mechanism.
[0045] Step S20: Based on the electric field distribution characteristics of the leaky cable gap of the above magnetic dipole antenna, obtain the LoS path and NLoS path of the electric field radiation of the leaky cable gap.
[0046] Step S30: Model the multi-source channel of the leaky cable based on the above LoS and NLoS radiation paths, and obtain the channel impulse response expression of a single magnetic dipole antenna under LoS and NLoS conditions.
[0047] Step S40: Based on the channel impulse response expression of a single magnetic dipole antenna in LoS and NLoS conditions, the multi-source channel impulse response is superimposed to derive the expression form of the complete leaky cable channel impulse response in the operation scenario of vacuum maglev train.
[0048] Step S10 above includes: The internal electric field analysis of the leaky cable of the vacuum maglev train in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: According to the slotting method of the leaky cable, it is mainly divided into vertical slotting, inclined slotting, and symmetrical inclined slotting. According to the electrical characteristics of the leaky cable, the polarization mode of the vertical slotted leaky cable is horizontal polarization, and the polarization mode of the inclined slotted and symmetrical inclined slotted leaky cables is vertical polarization.
[0049] This invention studies the vertically slotted leaky cable in the vacuum tube scenario of a vacuum maglev train. The total electric field intensity of the vertically slotted leaky cable can be expressed as the vector superposition of the axial and circumferential electric field intensity components along the cable. The vertically slotted leaky cable only exhibits an electric field along its axial direction. Based on its electromagnetic field radiation pattern, the electric field intensity distribution at the slot opening of the leaky cable shows many similarities to that of a half-wave magnetic dipole antenna; therefore, the slot opening of the leaky cable can be considered equivalent to a magnetic dipole antenna.
[0050] This invention equates the gaps in the leaky cable of a vacuum maglev train to a magnetic dipole antenna. Based on the electrical characteristics of the vertically slotted leaky cable and the electric field distribution of the equivalent magnetic dipole antenna, the electric field strength of a single slot in the leaky cable is expressed as follows:

[0054] In the formula, Indicates the leakage cable number The attenuation coefficient of the signal from each slot to the signal feed end can be specifically expressed as:
[0055] in, For the first The attenuation of the electric field intensity amplitude at each slot, For the first The phase change of the electric field intensity at each slot. Based on the electrical characteristics of the leaky cable, the power attenuation constant inside the leaky cable is... [dB / 100m], the amplitude attenuation and phase change of the signal at the m-th slot can be expressed as:
[0056] in, and These represent the signal amplitude attenuation and signal phase change between adjacent slots inside the leaky cable, respectively. For the slot cycle, The propagation constant inside a leaky cable can be expressed as:
[0057] in, It is the relative permittivity of the medium inside the leaking cable.
[0058] Step S20 above includes: analysis of the electric field along the radiation path of the leaky cable gap.
[0059] In the vacuum tube scenario, the electromagnetic field radiation path of the leaky cable can be divided into the LosS path and the NLoS path. Consider that in the simulation scenario, the leaky cable has M slots, and the vacuum tube wall has N scatterers. The electric field strength at the receiving end can be denoted as:
[0060] 1) LoS path radiation path
[0061] The electric field strength along the LoS path from the m-th slot of the leaky cable to the receiving antenna on the vacuum maglev train can be expressed as:
[0062] in, To reduce the electric field strength at the cable tray opening, This represents the LoS path distance from the m-th slot of the leaky cable to the electromagnetic field radiated from the slot. This indicates the angle between the line connecting the receiving antenna position to the m-th slot and the axial direction of the leaky cable.
[0063] Based on the signal attenuation characteristics within the leaky cable, it can be obtained that...
[0064] Substituting the above equation, we can obtain the electric field intensity of the LoS path as follows:
[0065] 2) NLoS path radiation path
[0066] The radiation field of the m-th slot of the leaky cable is reflected or scattered by a reflector or scatterer. The expression for the NLoS electric field intensity at the receiving antenna is:

[0069] in and From slot m to the scatterer scatterer Distance to the receiving antenna scattering body The angle between the line connecting the slot m and the axial direction of the leaky cable.
[0070] Similar to the Loss of Signal (LoS) case, the signal attenuation characteristics within the leaky cable can be incorporated to obtain...
[0071] Step S30 above includes: Multi-source channel modeling of leaky cables In a vacuum tube channel environment, taking the channel from the p-th of the leaky cable to the q-th of the receiving antenna as an example, its channel impulse response can be expressed as:

[0084] The coordinates of the scattering point are determined by the horizontal and vertical angles of the transmitting and receiving ends. Based on geometric relationships, the following coordinate representation of the scattering point can be derived:
[0085] (4) Correlation analysis
[0086] Correlation analysis is conducted to evaluate channel performance after obtaining the CIR using the aforementioned channel modeling method. The correlation results are used to evaluate the characteristics and non-stationarity of the wireless channel in this scenario, serving as a verification and comparison of the channel modeling results.
[0087] and To conduct correlation analysis, the channel impulse response from the first leaky cable to the first receiving antenna and the channel impulse response from the second leaky cable to the second receiving antenna are used as examples to derive the channel correlation function. This can also be extended to other channels.
[0088] By derivation and The correlation function expression is as follows. To simplify the theoretical derivation of the channel correlation function, only the correlation between the corresponding slots of the two leaky cables is considered. Its space-time correlation function can be expressed as follows:
