Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of RN / RD simulator calibration technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for calibrating the navigation angle of an RN / RD simulator based on a single channel in the frequency domain. Background Technology

[0002] An RN / RD simulator is a signal simulation device that combines Radio Navigation Satellite Service (RNSS) and Radio Determination Satellite Service (RDSS). It simulates specific satellite navigation system signals and can provide these signals for simulation experiments. It is widely used in the research, development, production, testing, and quality management of equipment that uses satellite navigation system signals for positioning and navigation.

[0003] RNSS user terminals use satellite navigation system signals for positioning and navigation by receiving broadcast signals, while RDSS user terminals need to transmit signals to satellites for positioning and navigation; the entire calculation process is not independent. RN / RD user terminals that integrate RNSS and RDSS can calculate parameters such as time, latitude and longitude, altitude, speed, acceleration, and navigation angle based on satellite navigation system signals.

[0004] During the calibration process in the quality management stage, the RN / RD simulator is used to provide satellite navigation system signals to the RN / RD user terminal. The values ​​displayed by the RN / RD simulator are used as reference values, and the parameters displayed by the RN / RD user terminal are used as measured values. The calibration work is completed by comparing the reference values ​​and measured values ​​of each parameter.

[0005] Currently, there are methods to trace the time, latitude and longitude, elevation, speed and acceleration in the RN / RD simulator. However, there is no approximate test method for parameters such as navigation angle to provide a reference for the calibration process. This fails to form a complete traceability chain and thus cannot meet the needs of instrument users in terms of metrological calibration and traceability of measurement values. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the situation where there are no approximate testing methods for parameters such as navigation angles in RN / RD simulators to provide a reference for the calibration process, thus making it impossible to form a complete traceability chain. This invention provides a single-channel frequency domain RN / RD simulator navigation angle calibration method and device, which has high measurement accuracy, meets traceability requirements, and is reasonably and reliably designed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A method for calibrating the navigation angle of an RN / RD simulator based on a single channel in the frequency domain includes the following steps:

[0009] Set up a static scene in the RN / RD simulator and obtain the frequency deviation Δf0 of the RN / RD simulator output signal;

[0010] With a dynamic scene set in the RN / RD simulator and the heading angle set to 0, the frequency offset Δf of each digital channel signal in the RN / RD simulator was obtained. 11 ~Δf 1n Calculate the frequency offset Δf1 of the output signal of the RN / RD simulator;

[0011] Based on the frequency deviation Δf1 of the RN / RD simulator output signal, calculate the velocity error Δv and the navigation angle error Δθ0 of the RN / RD simulator output signal;

[0012] The RN / RD simulator's heading angle is set to other angles, and the heading angle error is calculated. The heading angle error control accuracy Δθ is then calculated.

[0013] Furthermore, by setting a static scene in the RN / RD simulator, the frequency offset Δf0 of the RN / RD simulator output signal is obtained, specifically:

[0014] The RN / RD simulator is set to a static scene. The acquisition and playback device sends an inbound request signal to the RN / RD simulator. The center frequency of the spectrum analyzer is set to the output carrier signal frequency f0 of the RN / RD simulator, and the sweep bandwidth is set to 1kHz~20kHz. When the RN / RD simulator outputs the signal to the spectrum analyzer, the central controller records the difference between the peak value of the frequency domain test marker signal and f0, which is recorded as Δf0.

[0015] Furthermore, by setting a dynamic scenario in the RN / RD simulator and setting the heading angle to 0, the frequency offset Δf of each digital channel signal in the RN / RD simulator was obtained. 11 ~Δf 1n Calculate the frequency offset Δf1 of the RN / RD simulator output signal, specifically as follows:

[0016] The RN / RD simulator is set to a dynamic scene, with the heading angle set to 0. In digital channel 1, the velocity in the signal is set to v, and the theoretical carrier frequency is f1. The acquisition and playback unit sends an inbound request signal to the RN / RD simulator. The center frequency of the spectrum analyzer is set to f1, and the sweep bandwidth is set to 10Δf0. When the RN / RD simulator outputs the signal to the spectrum analyzer, the central controller records the difference between the peak value of the frequency domain test marker signal and f0, which is recorded as Δf0. 11 ;

[0017] Replace with other digital channels 2 to n, and record Δf. 12 ~Δf1n ;

[0018] Δf 11 The calculation formula is:

[0019] Δf1=max(Δf 11 , Δf 12 , …, Δf 1n )-min(Δf 11 , Δf 12 , …, Δf 1n )

[0020] In the formula, Δf1 represents the frequency deviation of the output signal of the RN / RD simulator; Δf 12 Indicates the frequency offset of digital channel 2 signal in the RN / RD simulator; Δf 1n This indicates the frequency offset of the digital channel n signal in the RN / RD simulator.

[0021] Furthermore, based on the frequency offset Δf1 of the RN / RD simulator output signal, the velocity error Δv and the navigation angle error Δθ0 of the RN / RD simulator output signal are calculated, specifically as follows:

[0022] The formula for calculating speed error is:

[0023] Δv=[(f1+Δf1-f0-Δf0)·c / (f0+Δf0)-v] / v

[0024] In the formula, c represents the speed of light;

[0025] The formula for calculating navigation angle error is:

[0026] Δθ0=|max[atan((1+Δv) / (1-Δv)),atan((1-Δv) / (1+Δv))]-π / 4|.

[0027] Furthermore, the RN / RD simulator's heading angle is set to other angles, and the heading angle error is calculated separately. The heading angle error control accuracy Δθ is then calculated, specifically as follows:

[0028] The RN / RD simulator heading angles are set to π / 2, π, and 3π / 2, and the heading angle error Δθ is calculated for each. π / 2 , Δθ π , Δθ 3π / 2 ;

[0029] Based on the navigation angle error Δθ π / 2 , Δθ π , Δθ 3π / 2 The calculated heading angle error control accuracy Δθ is:
