[0019] To more clearly illustrate the specific implementation scheme of this utility model, the following will describe the specific drawings of the scheme.
[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a BeiDou-3 positioning module testing device. Detailed Implementation
[0021] This section describes embodiments of the present invention and is used to explain and illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention.
[0022] A testing device for BeiDou-3 positioning modules consists of a testing instrument main unit, antenna, accessories, and packaging box.
[0023] The main unit of the detector uses a ruggedized computer to provide power, signal interfaces, and human-machine interaction functions for the entire system. The ruggedized computer has a built-in BeiDou command and communication module and a BeiDou relay module, which are connected to the main computer module via an RS232 interface. The computer module sends and receives relevant commands through the RS232 interface to control the operation of the BeiDou command and communication module and the BeiDou relay module, acquire RNSS positioning information and RDSS short message information from the BeiDou command module, and perform functions such as signal gain adjustment of the BeiDou relay module.
[0024] The antenna mainly consists of six components: a high-gain, wide-area BeiDou antenna, a power amplifier, an antenna multiplexer, an S-type low-noise amplifier, and a B1-type low-noise amplifier. Eight high-magnetic steel magnets are mounted at the bottom of the antenna, providing extremely strong adhesion; it can be directly attached to a vehicle roof or mechanically fixed to an object surface via a flange. The antenna is used for BeiDou signal transmission and reception, signal amplification, filtering, and other preprocessing tasks, and consists of one outdoor antenna and one indoor antenna.
[0025] Accessories include antenna bracket, power cord, etc.
[0026] The packaging box is a portable trolley case, which contains the main unit of the detector, antenna, and accessories, making it easy to transport, carry, and store the equipment.
[0027] The system consists of a main unit, accessories, and packaging. The main unit provides power, signal interfaces, and human-machine interface functions for the entire system. The main computer module within the main unit controls the BeiDou command and communication module and the BeiDou relay module, processing navigation signals at BD-3B1C, B1A, B3I, and B3A frequencies under the BeiDou RNSS system, and signals at BD-3L frequencies (Lf0, Lf1, Lf2, Lf3, Lf4) and S frequencies (S1I / Q, S2C, S2A) under the RDSS system. This enables continuous real-time navigation, positioning, and speed measurement of the BD-3 system, as well as monitoring, command, message communication, and location reporting.
[0028] When testing the BeiDou positioning module of an airborne product, the product needs to be placed at a location with known latitude and longitude. If the environment where the product is located allows for direct satellite search (e.g., in an open outdoor area), simply place the outdoor antenna of the testing instrument in an open, unobstructed location and connect it to the main unit of the testing instrument via a cable. After the BeiDou positioning module of the airborne equipment sends a positioning short message, which is processed and transmitted by the satellite, the testing instrument receives it through the antenna. It then amplifies, filters, and fuses the received signal and transmits the processed signal to the BeiDou command and communication module. The main unit of the testing instrument reads the data interface of the BeiDou command and communication module in real time, obtains the data area information of the BeiDou command and communication module, parses the received short message to obtain the latitude and longitude information in the airborne product's short message, and compares it with the latitude and longitude of the product's placement location to check whether the BeiDou module's positioning and short message functions are normal.
[0029] If the environment where the airborne product is located does not allow for direct satellite search (e.g., indoors), the outdoor antenna of the testing instrument should be placed in an open, unobstructed outdoor location, and the indoor antenna should be placed indoors at a distance of more than 2 meters from the airborne product, connected to the testing instrument's main unit via cable. When the airborne product sends a BeiDou short message, the indoor antenna receives the BeiDou signal sent by the airborne product, forwards it through the BeiDou repeater module in the testing instrument, and transmits it to the BeiDou satellite via the outdoor antenna. The signal processed by the satellite is then received and processed by the outdoor antenna before being transmitted to the BeiDou command and communication module, thus enabling the testing of the airborne product's BeiDou module.
