The present invention discloses a single-
satellite positioning method combining wide and narrow beams, which belongs to the field of
satellite navigation and positioning. In view of the constraint that single-
satellite positioning can obtain limited position information, the present invention constructs a single-
satellite positioning strategy combining wide and narrow beams. In the
wide beam stage, the satellite transmits a broadcast
signal to cover the entire positioning area, and locks the potential position point of the terminal by
processing the leading
sequence signal fed back by the terminal. In the
narrow beam stage, the coverage area is divided into multiple quadrants and narrow beams are transmitted in sequence. The quadrant in which the terminal is located is determined by measuring the received
signal strength of the leading
sequence signal fed back by each beam, eliminating the
ambiguity of the position point locked in the
wide beam stage to determine the specific position of the terminal, and realizing accurate positioning of the terminal under the working condition that single-
satellite positioning can obtain limited information. The present invention improves the utilization efficiency of positioning parameters based on the single-
satellite positioning strategy combining wide and narrow beams, realizes accurate positioning based on a single satellite, simplifies the positioning parameter solution, and reduces overhead and cost compared to multi-satellite positioning.
