This invention proposes a dual-parallel carrier-pseudo-code capture device suitable for deep-space
broadband spread-spectrum signals. According to the Nyquist theorem, as the pseudo-code length increases exponentially and the spectrum broadens, the required sampling rate also increases exponentially. To meet the requirements of
broadband spread-spectrum sampling, a method using carrier parallel multipathing and reduced sampling rate is employed. This method enables dual-parallel carrier-pseudo-code capture of
broadband spread-spectrum signals in deep space with low
signal-to-
noise ratios, while maintaining a relatively low
clock rate and hardware resource overhead. The device comprises the following modules: a parallel downconversion module 1, a parallel despreading module 2, a data reassembly module 3, a
phase rotation module 4, an FFT
processing module 5, and a
comparator module 6. The invention utilizes a parallel
carrier capture method to reduce the operating
clock, improve the timing stability of complex FPGA programs, and reduce FPGA internal resource usage. Furthermore, the parallel pseudo-code capture method addresses the issues of long deep-space broadband capture times and high hardware
resource utilization. The device can be used in anti-interference applications, including space tracking and control, deep-space communications, and
satellite communications.
