[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a noise-resistant satellite signal forwarding system and device, including an anti-interference receiving device, the output end of which is electrically connected to a transponder host for transmitting the received signal to the transponder host. The anti-interference receiving device includes two output ports, one for outputting a direct signal and the other for outputting a B3 anti-interference signal. Both output ports of the anti-interference receiving device are also electrically connected to a lightning arrester, which is then connected to the ANT port of the transponder host via the output end of the lightning arrester. The output end of the transponder host is electrically connected to an independent amplifier, and a transmitting antenna is mounted on the output end of the independent amplifier.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 The repeater host includes an antenna selection unit, the input end of which is electrically connected to the anti-interference receiving device, the output end of which is electrically connected to the filtering unit, the output end of which is electrically connected to the low-noise amplifier unit, the output end of which is electrically connected to the four-branch unit, the four-branch unit having four OUT ports, each of which is electrically connected to an independent amplifier. The repeater host also includes a keyboard display unit, a power supply unit, and a gain control unit, wherein the gain control unit is electrically connected to the antenna selection unit, the four-branch unit, the keyboard display unit, and the power supply unit for corresponding control.

[0026] refer to Figure 4 The antenna selection unit includes two RF input circuits, the outputs of which are connected to a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch. The output of the SPDT switch is electrically connected to the filter unit. The two RF input circuits are used to transmit a direct signal and a B3 anti-interference signal, respectively. The SPDT switch selects which signal to transmit.

[0027] The RF input circuit includes a feed network, the input of which is connected to the output of the lightning arrester. A gain control unit is electrically connected to the feed network to control the feed. Two RF switches are connected in series to the output of the feed network, and the output of the RF switches is electrically connected to a RF single-pole double-throw switch. The gain control unit is also electrically connected to the RF switch and the RF single-pole double-throw switch to control the selective output of the signal.

[0028] By setting up the antenna selection unit, it is possible to switch between the anti-interference forwarding mode and the direct forwarding mode, that is, to switch between the direct signal from the anti-interference receiving device and the B3 anti-interference signal. At the same time, it also manages the port feeding function.

[0029] To ensure isolation, the antenna selection unit adopts a matching, shielding and multi-stage series structure after precise simulation calculations, so that the isolation is not less than 70dB, thereby avoiding mutual coupling interference between the two signals and enabling the airborne anti-interference receiver to shield the forwarded signal.

[0030] The filtering unit uses a surface acoustic wave filter, which is connected in series to the output end of the antenna selection unit to filter out radio signals outside the L band, further improving the anti-interference ability of the repeater host.

[0031] refer to Figure 5 The low-noise amplifier unit consists of three amplifier stages connected in series. The first stage uses a MOS tube design for an extremely low-noise small-signal amplifier to ensure high gain in the first stage. The second stage uses a dedicated low-noise amplifier to further increase the gain while also raising the P1dB compression point of the amplification link. The final stage uses a power amplifier chip to ensure the link P1dB compression point reaches +9dBm. The low-noise amplifier unit is sealed in an independent cavity and powered by a low-ripple +5V analog power supply. It is used to amplify the weak navigation satellite signals that have been selected and filtered by 80dB. The low-noise amplifier unit can ensure the noise deterioration of the forwarded signal, ensure the interference-to-signal ratio of the CNSS signal, and prevent the airborne anti-interference receiver from shielding the forwarded signal.

[0032] refer to Figure 6 The four-way splitter unit includes four power dividers, the input ends of the four power dividers are electrically connected to the output ends of the low noise amplifier unit, the output ends of the four power dividers are electrically connected to four RF output circuits, the four RF output circuits are arranged in parallel, and the four RF output circuits correspond to four OUT port settings respectively.

[0033] The RF output circuit includes two RF switches connected in series. The gain control unit is electrically connected to the RF switches to control the on / off of the RF in the RF output circuit. The output end of the RF switch is also electrically connected to the feed network, and the gain control unit is also electrically connected to the feed network to implement feed control.

[0034] An attenuation unit is also provided between the low noise amplifier unit and the four-branch unit. The input end of the attenuation unit is electrically connected to the output end of the low noise amplifier unit, the output end of the attenuation unit is electrically connected to the input end of the four-branch unit, and the gain control unit is also electrically connected to the attenuation unit.

[0035] The attenuation unit consists of three programmable attenuators connected in series. The input attenuator is electrically connected to the low-noise amplifier unit, while the output attenuator is electrically connected to the four-way splitter unit. The programmable attenuator has a gain adjustment range of 31.5dB, with each level adjustable in 0.25dB steps. The first half of each attenuator maintains a gain adjustment range of 0-60, while the second half compensates for excess amplifier gain, ensuring accurate output gain.

[0036] The GNSS signal output by the low noise amplifier unit can be program-controlled attenuated and distributed to the four OUT ports through the four-way splitter unit and the attenuation unit, while performing on-off management of the RF channel and port feeding control.

[0037] The gain control unit is an embedded system consisting of a single-chip microcomputer running control software, forming the human-machine interface and driving the various circuits. The gain control unit mainly consists of a single-chip microcomputer minimum system, an IO expansion circuit, and a level conversion circuit.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 The power supply unit provides high-power, low-ripple secondary power voltages (+24V and +5V) to the transponder host and its antenna system. The +24V power supply powers the anti-interference receiver, with an output power of 30W per channel. The +5V power supply provides operating voltage for the transmitting antenna and internal circuit components, with a total power of 25W.

[0039] The power supply unit adopts 220VAC power supply and performs voltage conversion through AC-DC+DC-DC topology, which has the characteristics of high efficiency and low ripple.

[0040] The keyboard display unit is used for the human-machine interface of the repeater host, completing the control and status indication of the repeater system. It is a purchased part, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0041] refer to Figure 7 ,It should be noted that the transponder host can receive satellite signals including Beidou, GPS, Grenas, and Galileo, and process Beidou signals separately from other models.

Furthermore, the three-stage amplifier architecture achieves even more significant gain. This system is relatively simple, easier to develop, and has low development costs.
