The invention discloses a space
laser communication terminal level
system testing method. Light beams are emitted from a tested terminal, pass through a
telescope, a light-splitting
optical path, a
pointing error source simulator, a far-field receiving simulator, a collimation
optical path and an atmospheric
channel simulator in sequence, and are combined with light beams from a
background light simulator through a beam-combining
optical path. The combined light beams pass through a vibration-
relative motion simulator, the light-splitting optical path and the
telescope in sequence, and are received by an opposite-side tested terminal. Through adoption of the method, space
laser communication terminal level
system testing, including tracking and pointing characteristics (including tracking and pointing accuracy and tracking and pointing bandwidth), capturing characteristics (including capturing time and capturing probability), communication characteristics (including
bit error rate and detection sensitivity) and the like are realized. The structure occupies a small space. Two communication terminals can perform terminal level
system testing of multi-parameter direct alignment performance at a
close range, and a plurality of external factors influencing space
laser communication performance are simulated. The measuring accuracy is high.
