Adopting a high-speed processing clock rate; the internal processing clock reaches 320MHz, so that the precision of the equipment is ensured; the main board has the most important function that 1PPS given by the navigation module is used for taming the rubidium atomic clock, then the accurate frequency of the rubidium atomic clock is adopted to regenerate new 1PPS, and through the processing, the precision of the 1PPS with the precision of 20ns (RMS) output by the navigation module can be improved to be within 10ns (RMS), so that the requirement of indexes on time precision is met. Meanwhile, Irig-B codes are coded, and an FPGA is adopted for coding, so that the real-time property and the accuracy of coding and the synchronism of each output can be ensured;

in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply of the whole machine, the embodiment adopts a high-power linear power supply, so that the output power is ensured, and meanwhile, the high-power linear power supply has good efficiency and ripple characteristics;

In a specific embodiment, the time-frequency processing motherboard 4 includes a multi-information fusion module 401, a multi-phase-locked loop 402, a frequency control module 403, a pulse per second generation module 404, and a UTC encoding module 405, the multi-information fusion module 401 is electrically connected to the frequency control module 403, the pulse per second generation module 403, and the UTC encoding module 405 at the same time, an input end of the multi-phase-locked loop 402 is electrically connected to the rubidium atomic clock 5, an output end of the multi-phase-locked loop is electrically connected to the frequency control module 403, the pulse per second generation module 404 and the UTC encoding module 405 are electrically connected to the RS422 difference module 10 at the same time, and the multi-information fusion module 401 is electrically connected to the directional navigation receiver 8.

In a specific embodiment, the multi-information fusion module 401 further includes a pulse per second phase calibration unit 4011 and a UTC time extraction unit 4012;

the pulse per second phase calibration unit 4011 is configured to first determine whether 1pps generated by the GPS/beidou time service type navigation receiver is available; receiving serial port information of an NMEA protocol from a GPS/Beidou time service type navigation receiver, judging whether the receiver has received enough satellite signals or not through the serial port information, and finishing positioning and timing work, wherein if the positioning and timing are finished and the GDOP of a satellite for positioning and timing is less than 5, 1pps available information generated by the GPS/Beidou time service type navigation receiver is given, and if not, the information is unavailable;

performing fusion processing on available 1pps, performing balance filtering processing on 1pps signals of each module to reduce random errors, and then performing adjustment optimization on 1pps signals from a plurality of modules by adopting a least square algorithm to obtain more accurate phase 1pps signals to serve as the basis of subsequent processing;

the UTC time extraction module is used for comparing UTC time from the modules to ensure the correctness of UTC, and integrating and comparing leap second information from the modules to ensure the timely leap second processing.

Using the count average value to count the 1pps after phase correction all the time, then averaging the technical values to obtain a count average value, using the count average value as an actual count value and comparing the actual count value with a theoretical count value to obtain a count error, for example, for a 200MHz clock with 10MHz input frequency being 20 multiplied to 4 phases, because of the inaccuracy of the frequency generated by the crystal oscillator, the count values of the 4 clocks to the input 1pps are 200000010, 200000011, 200000011 and 200000011 respectively, then the average count value is 200000010.75, and the ideal count value is 200000000, then the count error value is 10.75, after passing through a loop filter, the multiple historical count values obtain a voltage control value for controlling the frequency of the crystal oscillator, after converting the voltage control value into a DA control quantity, sending the DA control quantity to a high-precision DA, and then converting the control signal into a voltage signal to control the frequency of the high-stability constant temperature crystal oscillator, and gradually adjusting the frequency of the crystal oscillator, until the counting error reaches the requirement, the frequency locking loop is actually used for controlling the external crystal oscillator, and the adjustment process is dynamically carried out in real time.

The traditional frequency control method is that a common-frequency clock with a plurality of phases is sampled to count 1pps at the same time, and the counting mode is equivalent to improving the counting frequency, such as 4 multiphase clocks with 200MHz are used for counting, and is equivalent to counting by one clock with 800MHz, so that the counting precision is greatly improved, and the control precision of the crystal oscillator is correspondingly improved.

In a specific embodiment, the pulse-per-second generation module is configured to regenerate 1pps with high precision and high stability based on the corrected 1pps and the high-accuracy frequency signal.

In this case, if all the satellite navigation receiver signals are blocked or interfered and 1pps thereof is not available, the system enters a time keeping state, the second pulse generating and holding module enters a time keeping mode, 1pps is generated at the existing phase and frequency of 1pps, and the exterior is informed that the time keeping mode is currently adopted.

In a specific embodiment, the UTC output encoding module is configured to perform different encoding and protocol processing on UTC information to adapt to different external interfaces, and the main encoding module includes a network interface of an NTP protocol for network time service; IRIG-B and NMEA are encoded serially.

In a specific embodiment, the high-stability power module is used for supplying power to the space-time reference device of the vehicle-mounted platform.

Adopting an FPGA to discipline the 1PPS pair rubidium atomic clock given by the navigation module to an accurate frequency; then, the accurate frequency of the rubidium atomic clock is adopted to regenerate new 1PPS, and through the processing, the precision of the 1PPS with the precision of 20ns (RMS) output by the navigation module can be improved to be within 10ns (RMS) (actually measured to be less than 6ns (RMS)).

The implementation principle is as follows:

the directional navigation receiver receives satellite signals of Beidou/GPS/GLONASS to realize positioning, timing and directional functions, the directional navigation receiver realizes the directional function through two antennas, and the module sends information such as position, time, 1PPS (pulse per second), direction and the like to the time-frequency processing mainboard.

The time frequency processing mainboard is used for smoothing the 1PPS and then sending the smoothed 1PPS to the rubidium atomic clock, the rubidium atomic clock is used for calibrating the frequency by using the 1PPS and outputting an accurate 10MHz frequency signal, meanwhile, the selected rubidium atomic clock can also output the corrected and smoothed 1PPS, the stability and the accuracy of the 1PPS are superior to those of the 1PPS originally output by the navigation module, and the 1PPS with the precision of 20ns (RMS) output by the navigation module can be improved to be within 10ns (RMS). And 1PPS output by the rubidium atomic clock is input into a time frequency processing mainboard.

And in the time-frequency processing main board, IRIG-B DC coding is carried out according to the time information and 1PPS, and the IRIG-B DC coding is input into an RS422 differential module to realize RS422 or TTL output of the IRIG-B code.
