To shown in Figure 5, the concrete technical scheme of implementing of the present invention is as accompanying drawing 1:
A kind of as shown in Figure 1 very-low frequency all-lightning positioning system, this system comprises at least four lightning location monitoring stations, is provided with very low frequency (VLF) lightning radiation receiver (probe among the figure), computing machine, GPS receiver in the described lightning location monitoring station.The precision clock that described website utilizes the GPS receiver to provide, obtain the time that the pulse of lightning electric field change arrives each website, and the fast electric field change waveform of record lightning, by computing machine obtaining data are carried out preliminary processing, by the internet data in real time is sent to the computing machine that is used to analyze, handle described pulse, by special software to the lightning discharge incident position, electric discharge type identification, the multiple discharge parameter of statistical treatment.
This system is by very low frequency (VLF) lightning radiation receiver (electric field change instrument soon), high-precision GPS synchronous clock, and computing machine (lightning waveform acquisition analyzing and processing equipment) formation as shown in Figure 2.Fast electric field change operating sensor is surveyed the transient electric field variation that lightning produces in 200Hz~3MHz frequency range.Gps signal is used for frequency reference to be proofreaied and correct, and guarantees the more frequency signal output of pin-point accuracy, also provides the precise time benchmark to system simultaneously.Data acquisition system adopted computing machine+high-speed digitization instrument is with the sampling rate digitizing electric field change signal of 10Msps.Adopt unsteady level triggers setting and lightning pulses of radiation waveform continuously every catching working method continuously, being about to triggering system is designed to fully based on patterns software, that can carry out different triggering algorithms flexibly, by the non-lightning undesired signal of the low frequency in the watch-keeping environmental background, automatically adjust triggering level in real time, realize being applicable to the bipolarity trigger mode of unsteady background.Signal value is compared with predefined activation threshold value continuously, when a sampled point is detected greater than this threshold value, have certain preposition waveform that triggers section and rearmounted triggering section to be hunted down.Subsequently according to lightning very low frequency emission waveform characteristics, the data fragments that surpasses activation threshold value is carried out pre-service, the temporal information of electric field change Wave data after the processing and the corresponding trigger recording mark zero hour is stored in local disk, is real-time transmitted to the computing machine of lightning location, analyzing and processing simultaneously by the internet.Software adopts multithreading secure variant and safe queue technology that data acquisition, triggering pre-service, store tasks are given the several separate thread and carried out simultaneously, realizes to catching continuously of lightning very low frequency emission pulse waveform and without any the dead time.Whole acquisition and recording system realizes that by the unified control of computing machine unattended duty moves automatically.
Three-dimensional time difference method lightning detection system among the present invention utilizes the GPS precise synchronization to measure the fast electric field change pulse waveform of multistation lightning, realization reaches monitoring in real time to the three-dimensional localization that cloud dodges and ground dodges, the bearing accuracy of the time difference method decision total system of its GPS receiver.GPS receiver in the native system has adopted low make an uproar mutually PHASE-LOCKED LOOP PLL TECHNIQUE and large scale integrated circuit design, built-in high stability constant-temperature crystal oscillator OCXO and high-quality, high precision time service type GPS receiver, adopt advanced GPS frequency observation and control technology, output frequency to crystal oscillator carries out precision measurement and adjusting, adopt the intelligence learning algorithm, tame in the process of crystal oscillator the constantly characteristics such as drift of " study " crystal oscillator at GPS, and deposit these parameters in plate and carry in the eeprom memory.The 1pps signal of output is that GPS tames crystal oscillator output 10MHz signal, and signal is through 10,000, obtain behind 000 frequency division, phase place and carrier signal strict conformance, and the influence that not brought by GPS pulse per second (PPS) short time random jump are equivalent to " reproduction " of UTC time reference.When the GPS appearance is unusual or unavailable; automatically switch to the maintenance pattern; utilize efficient intelligent to keep algorithm; rely on built-in high stability crystal oscillator to continue to provide the time and the frequency signal output of high reliability; make its output frequency precise synchronization on gps system, high precision time frequency reference signal is provided.
In order to monitor lightning very low frequency emission in the bigger zone, the present invention has developed " wide band high-gain lightning Low Medium Frequency radiation receiver ", adopt high integrated precision amplifier to be equipped with special circuit structure and make it have very high input impedance, and adopt active power filtering filtering power frequency to disturb and guaranteed the gain bandwidth (GB) of system.
Because system has than higher bandwidth gain, be the frequent false triggering that prevents that heavy rain from causing the influence and the charged raindrop of system as shown in Figure 3, system adopts the frp protective coverboard structure with the saturating rate of very wide ripple.
The data collection and analysis disposal system
The data collection and analysis disposal system mainly is made of computing machine, high-speed data acquisition card in the present invention, and aforesaid GPS receiver provides the absolute time benchmark for it, and wherein the 10MHz signal is as the external clock of capture card sampling.Utilize power supply (UPS) to provide stable power for total system.
Capture card
The data collecting card of this invention employing is that data sampling speed is up to 30MS/s; Have 12 AD conversion accuracies; The built-in 32K first-in first-out method of channel (FIFO) internal memory, integrated circuit board The data dma mode is transferred to the control computer internal memory, realizes the high speed acquisition and the integrality of data.
The transmission of lightning data high-speed
This invention adopts the sampling rate of 10MS/s that the electric field change signal is gathered as shown in Figure 4, also will bind with gps clock simultaneously.Volume of transmitted data is very big in this case, and only the FIFO that carries with the collection clamp is difficult to realize that the lightning waveform is not had the gap catches continuously.Therefore, a bigger FIFO buffer area has been created in this invention in computing machine machine internal memory, and this buffer area is divided into two sections uses.The data that integrated circuit board obtains at first are transferred to this buffer area (control computer internal memory) in direct memory access (DMA) (DMA) mode, after any section of FIFO buffer area is obtained data and is finished, data in its this section are read away by disposable, and two sections buffer areas are alternately realized mass data high-speed transfer and processing.
The lightning waveform does not have the gap and catches continuously
The fast electric field change signal of lightning is with sampling rate, the 12bit resolution digitalization of 10MSPS as shown in Figure 5, signal after the digitizing is transferred to the internal memory of computing machine continuously by computer bus, continuous 5 sampling point additions simultaneously, data are compressed, signal sampling rate is reduced to 2MSPS from 10MSPS, but resolution improves simultaneously.What after this signal was continuous compares with predefined numerical value activation threshold value, when a sampled point is detected greater than this threshold value, there be certain preposition section and rearmounted waveform that triggers section of triggering to be stored in the 32MB toroidal memory in the calculator memory, waveform length is set to 1ms, the trigger point is front/rear to be 300/700 μ s, and the temporal information of the corresponding trigger recording mark zero hour is respectively stored in the annular memory of 8MB.Formed a new data file and header file in per 2 minutes, the former comprises the continuous data stream that is triggered, and the latter comprises the events corresponding temporal information.
The routine data acquisition system is used the hardware trigger system, promptly by relatively sensor output voltage and predefined triggering level realize.Shortcoming is for fear of in the background interference false triggering of slowly floating, and activation threshold value has to be set to higher relatively level, has sacrificed the sensitivity of sensor.These disturb normally from " DC " electric field of the 60Hz background interference of electrical network, near cloud or thunderstorm, are the biasing of sensor sometimes.Use the hardware trigger system different with the routine data acquisition system, the triggering system that the present invention adopts is software setting fully, can carry out different triggering algorithms flexibly, has overcome above-mentioned shortcoming.Trigger algorithm of the present invention is in the average mode of 2kHz data stream, and the interference of the non-lightning of watch-keeping low frequency is arranged to depend on the bipolarity trigger of background of floating.
In high-speed data acquisition, another shortcoming is that for a long time dead time (10ms~30ms), (mainly be owing to will pass data, deposit after the trigger collection, reset triggering etc. then) must be arranged after each the triggering.This is owing at that time the computing machine and the digitizing technique of computer stage.By means of the ability of the transmission from digitizer to the computer memory continuous data, software-based is floated and is triggered algorithm, and the data acquisition system (DAS) in this research has been eliminated the dead time between the continuous trigger, restricted by background interference.
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the technology of the present invention principle; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
