This is a crucial step in the research and development and reliability assessment of related equipment. However, the traditional telemetry systems currently in use have the following technical limitations: First, high-speed rotation causes periodic and drastic changes in antenna attitude, resulting in deep and rapid signal fading. The signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver fluctuates wildly, leading to a high probability of transmission interruption. Second, there is complex multipath propagation between the rotating component and the fixed receiver, such as reflection from the cabin skin and scattering from cables, resulting in severe signal distortion. Traditional equalization algorithms have slow convergence speeds and are difficult to adapt to dynamic channels.

Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this embodiment of the invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner to facilitate understanding.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] This invention provides a telemetry system. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shown is a logic block diagram of a telemetry system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, including a schematic structure of a rotating transmitter and a fixed receiver.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the telemetry system of this invention is suitable for close-range testing of high-speed rotating components. The telemetry system includes a rotating transmitter and a fixed receiver. The rotating transmitter can rotate synchronously with the target rotating component to complete the acquisition, processing and transmission of test parameters. The fixed receiver can be distributed at fixed positions around the target rotating component to complete the reception, optimization and analysis of test data.

[0025] The rotating transmitter further includes a power supply module, a target rotating component, a signal acquisition and processing module, and a transmitting antenna. The signal acquisition and processing module is used to acquire and process the test parameters of the target rotating component and radiate the processed test data outward through the transmitting antenna. The fixed receiver further includes a receiving antenna, a signal optimization module, and a data processing module. The receiving antenna receives the test data, the signal optimization module performs adaptive diversity synthesis processing and blind equalization processing on the test data to obtain processed data, and finally the data processing module outputs the corresponding telemetry data based on the processed data.

[0026] In application, the transmitting antenna can be a miniaturized high-gain radio frequency antenna, packaged with the signal acquisition and processing module into an integrated structure, and fixed in the non-working area of ​​the rotating target component to avoid interference with the normal operation of the rotating component. The package structure is also treated to resist shock and centrifugal force, and is adapted to the physical environment of high-speed rotation. A flexible transmitting antenna can be used, with an antenna gain of not less than 0dBi, to ensure that the signal can radiate into the airspace during rotation. The rotating transmitting end can adopt a redundant design of slip ring power supply and battery power supply. During high-speed rotation, the main module is powered by the slip ring, and the system automatically switches to battery power supply when the slip ring fails, ensuring that the telemetry system can work continuously and stably.

[0027] In addition, at least two receiving antennas can be set up in arrays of various forms, such as a ring, around the target rotating part. The placement of the receiving antennas covers the entire attitude angle range of the target rotating part, ensuring that at any rotation angle, the rotating transmitter has at least one receiving antenna that can stably receive signals. The signal optimization module and data processing module can be integrated into an industrial-grade control chassis to realize real-time signal processing and telemetry data output.

[0028] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the signal acquisition and processing module includes a signal acquisition module, a signal conditioning module, and an encoding and modulation module; wherein, the signal acquisition module is used to acquire multi-dimensional test parameters of the target rotating component according to a preset frequency; the signal conditioning module is used to amplify, filter, and perform analog-to-digital conversion on the test parameters to obtain a conditioned signal; the encoding and modulation module is used to perform error control on the conditioned signal through TPC encoding and to obtain the corresponding radio frequency signal as test data through FM modulation.

[0029] The signal acquisition module includes various types of acquisition modules such as vibration sensors, accelerometers, and strain gauges arranged in an array. The array layout and installation position of the sensors and strain gauges can be determined according to the structure of the target rotating component and the testing requirements. For example, for helicopter main rotor testing, strain gauges can be attached to the root of the blade to collect stress parameters, while vibration and accelerometers are installed at the rotor hub to collect multi-dimensional vibration and acceleration parameters. For industrial high-speed shaft testing, sensor arrays can be arranged along the radial and axial directions of the shaft to collect vibration, impact, and strain parameters. In addition, the signal acquisition module collects multi-dimensional test parameters at a preset frequency, which can be flexibly configured according to testing requirements. The sampling rate can reach 2kHz, meeting the sampling requirements of high-precision testing. Furthermore, the acquisition channels of each sensor and strain gauge are synchronously calibrated to ensure the time consistency of the acquired data.

[0030] Specifically, the signal conditioning module amplifies, filters, and performs analog-to-digital conversion on the weak signal output from the signal acquisition module to eliminate noise interference. First, the weak analog signal is amplified by a low-noise operational amplifier, with the amplification factor configured to a preset factor based on the amplitude of the sensor output signal. Then, an active bandpass filter removes power frequency interference and high-frequency noise from the signal, with the filter bandwidth matched to the acquisition frequency. Finally, a high-precision ADC chip performs analog-to-digital conversion with a conversion accuracy of 16 bits or higher, converting the analog signal into a digitally conditioned signal to ensure signal accuracy and effectiveness.

[0031] In addition, the encoding and modulation module can use TPC encoding (Turbo Product Code) to perform error control encoding on the conditioning signal. TPC encoding has the characteristics of high encoding efficiency and low decoding complexity, which can effectively reduce the bit error rate during signal transmission and improve transmission reliability. Then, the encoded signal is subjected to FM modulation (frequency modulation), which converts the modulated baseband signal into a radio frequency signal, and radiates it outward through the transmitting antenna as the final test signal. The baseband signal here refers to the modulated IQ digital signal, that is, the zero intermediate frequency signal. FM modulation has the characteristics of strong resistance to amplitude fading and can adapt to the signal transmission characteristics in high-speed rotation scenarios.

[0032] In addition, the signal optimization module of this embodiment may include a down-conversion module, an adaptive diversity synthesis module, a blind equalization module, and a demodulation module; wherein, the down-conversion module is used to perform agile frequency conversion processing on the test data and output a digital baseband signal; the adaptive diversity synthesis module is used to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio and bit error rate of the baseband signal in real time, and to calculate the quality weight of each channel using the entropy weight method, and to merge the baseband signals of each signal based on the weight to obtain a synthesized signal; the blind equalization module is used to perform equalization processing on the synthesized signal to obtain a compensated equalized signal; the demodulation module is used to perform FM demodulation and TPC decoding on the equalized signal to obtain processed data.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 3 The flowchart of the diversity synthesis module in this embodiment of the invention shows that the process of obtaining the synthesized signal according to the adaptive diversity synthesis module may include: 1. Calculate the signal-to-noise ratio and bit error rate of the baseband signal for each receiving antenna in real time; 2. Construct a signal quality evaluation index by fusing signal-to-noise ratio and bit error rate based on the entropy weight method; 3. Based on the evaluation index, the weighting coefficients of the entropy weighting method are dynamically updated using the least mean square error algorithm. The weighting coefficients satisfy the following conditions: =1, i takes values ​​1, 2, 3...m, where m is the number of receiving antennas; 4. According to the weighting coefficients, the baseband signals of each receiving antenna are weighted and combined to output a composite signal that resists fading.

[0034] Specifically, as an example, algorithms for adaptive subset composition include: 1) After receiving the radio frequency signal, each receiving antenna processes it through mixing, filtering, sampling and conversion to form a baseband digital signal. ( Indicates the antenna serial number. (for discrete time points), providing a foundation for subsequent digital domain processing; 2) Calculate the SNR (which can be estimated by power spectral density) and BER (which can be detected by pseudocode synchronization) for each baseband signal; 3) Calculate the first Information entropy of antenna signal ,in, As an indicator type, For the first Antenna No. The percentage of the normalized value of the indicator, here This refers to two metrics: SNR and BER. 4) Weight normalization: ,in For the first Information entropy of an antenna signal For the number of antennas, to ensure ; 5) Update the weighting coefficients based on the LMS algorithm. The update formula for the weighting coefficients is as follows: ; 6) The formula for obtaining the synthesized signal by weighted merging is: ;in, The weighting coefficients are for the i-th receiving antenna signal branch. The error signal is the difference between the synthesized signal and the ideal signal, and μ is the step size factor. The weighting coefficients are the updated weighting coefficients for the i-th received antenna signal. This is the baseband input signal for the i-th receiving antenna signal branch. Let m be a discrete time point, and m be the number of receiving antennas.

[0035] Among them, the adaptive convergence synthesis module can quickly detect the SNR and BER of the antenna signal in real time, calculate the channel quality weight using the entropy weight method, and dynamically update the weighting coefficients through the LMS algorithm. The signal-to-noise ratio of the synthesized signal after merging can be improved by at least 6dB.

[0036] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the blind equalization module includes a feedforward filter, a decision unit, a feedback filter, and a momentum term optimization unit. The feedforward filter can be a 16th to 32nd order transverse filter, and the feedback filter can be an 8th to 16th order transverse filter. The feedforward filter is used to cancel forward multipath interference of the synthesized signal; the decision unit is used to make a decision on the signal output by the feedforward filter; the feedback filter is used to cancel backward multipath interference of the synthesized signal; and the momentum term optimization unit is used to introduce a momentum factor β, update the weight vector of the feedforward filter based on the introduced momentum factor β, and output the equalization signal after iterative convergence.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 4 The working principle diagram of the blind equalization module in this embodiment of the invention is shown. The process of obtaining the compensated equalization signal by the blind equalization module includes: 1. Receive the synthesized signal through a feedforward filter and output the signal: ;in, For the delay line tap vector of the synthesized signal, for example [ N represents the order of the feedforward filter, and represents the received signal at the current time and the N time steps prior. Let be the order of the feedforward filter. Let be the weight vector of the feedforward filter, with dimensions and . Consistent; 2. The decision-maker performs a decision on the signal y(k) and outputs a signal. ; where sign represents the sign function, which is the decision operation unit of the decision unit and can extract the polarity information of the signal.

[0038] 3. The signal is processed through a feedback filter. Process and output signal ;in, , For the order of the feedback filter, For the front A vector consisting of the decision values ​​at each time step; 4. Obtain the error between the output signal of the feedforward filter and the output signal of the feedback filter. ,in The output of the feedforward filter, For the output of the feedback filter, R x The ideal squared value of the signal amplitude; 5. Update the weight vector. Where β is the momentum factor, This is used to accelerate convergence and suppress oscillations based on the previous weight change; μ is the step size factor, used to control the magnitude of a single weight update. For discrete time points, and These represent the weight vectors at the previous two time points, respectively. This is the updated weight vector; For error, For synthesized signals; 6. Based on iterative convergence, output an equalized signal. At this point, the error , This indicates that the signal has eliminated forward and backward inter-symbol interference and the amplitude has stabilized at the desired level.

[0039] Finally, the equalization signal is demodulated by FM and decoded by TPC through the demodulation module to obtain the processed data, restore the original digital signal, and output PCM data and clock conforming to the IRIG-106 standard through the data processing module.

[0040] Among them, the improved blind equalization module can introduce momentum term optimization of the iterative process based on the decision feedback constant modulus algorithm, and the convergence speed is 50% faster than the traditional CMA. It can complete equalization convergence within 100μs and eliminate inter-symbol interference caused by multipath.

[0041] As can be seen, the telemetry system of the present invention can improve the signal reception success rate from 65% of the traditional single antenna to over 98% in a scenario with a rotation speed of 3000 r / min by dynamically weighting and combining multi-antenna signals. Furthermore, by employing a decision feedback constant modulus algorithm (DF-CMA) with a driven quantity term in the improved blind equalization module to suppress multipath interference, the convergence speed of the DF-CMA algorithm is improved by 50%, the inter-symbol interference cancellation rate is ≥95%, and the bit error rate is reduced from 10... -3 Reduced to 10 -7 The combination of FM and TPC enables high bit rate transmission, supports parallel data acquisition of ≥32 channels, and supports the IRIG106 standard. It can be interfacing with traditional telemetry systems, reducing the upgrade cost of existing equipment.

[0042] Corresponding to the telemetry system described above, the present invention also provides a telemetry method. Figure 5 A schematic flowchart of a telemetry method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0044] As a specific example, in the application process, the installation positions of each sensor in the signal acquisition module can be determined first according to the structure and testing requirements of the high-speed rotating component (i.e. the target rotating component). The strain load sensor, vibration sensor, etc. are installed in a distributed layout in the key parts of the high-speed rotating component, and it is ensured that the installation is firm and can withstand the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation. Then, the rotating transmitter and transmitting antenna are fixed to the thrust rotor of the target helicopter; and the receiving antenna and fixed receiving end are fixedly installed inside the fuselage. Then, high-temperature and wear-resistant cables are used to connect the sensor output to the signal conditioning module; and high-temperature and wear-resistant cables are used to connect the power supply module to the signal conditioning module and the encoding and modulation module. Then, the coding and modulation module is connected to each antenna using high-temperature and abrasion-resistant RF cables; and the telemetry receiver is connected to each antenna using high-temperature and abrasion-resistant RF cables. Finally, power on and run the telemetry system.

[0045] The telemetry receiver is equipped with a diversity synthesis module and a blind equalization module. By adding corresponding algorithms to the telemetry receiver, the transmission error rate can be reduced and the unreliable transmission problem caused by high-speed rotation can be solved on the basis of existing traditional telemetry receiver hardware.
