Description

Doppler compensation method and system for synthetic aperture underwater acoustic communication
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the field of underwater acoustic communication, and particularly relates to a Doppler compensation method and a Doppler compensation system for synthetic aperture underwater acoustic communication.
Background
The concept of "synthetic aperture" was originally derived from radar, whose basic principle is to use the relative motion of the radar and the target to obtain high spatial resolution. Foreign scholars apply the synthetic aperture technology to underwater acoustic communication, so that the combination with a PSK communication system and a multi-carrier system is realized, and tests prove that better results are obtained. The Synthetic Aperture technology is not used to increase the Aperture size, but is used to obtain spatial diversity, and this Communication method is called Synthetic Aperture Communication (SAC). In the underwater acoustic synthetic aperture communication, a virtual subarray is formed by the relative motion between the transmitting and receiving nodes, so that the SAC system can obtain space diversity by using two array elements, the system equipment is simplified, and the cost is saved.
In shallow sea underwater acoustic communication, the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the multipath interference is strong, and the channel is one of the worst wireless communication channels, so that incoherent detection or spread spectrum technology is generally adopted for transmission. Aiming at the characteristics of a remote underwater acoustic channel and the requirements of a system, the space diversity gain is obtained by combining a synthetic aperture technology and a direct sequence spread spectrum communication system, the output signal-to-noise ratio is improved, and the frequency selective fading caused by multipath propagation is effectively resisted. However, doppler caused by relative motion between transmitting and receiving nodes is unavoidable, and the influence of doppler on system performance is particularly serious, which not only makes multipath signals unable to realize correlation combination, resulting in reduction of space diversity gain, but also makes the spread spectrum gain greatly reduced and the error rate increased due to compression and expansion of spread spectrum codes. Therefore, accurate motion compensation is particularly important in a synthetic aperture spread spectrum communication system, which is a precondition and guarantee for the performance of the system.
Song et al uses the DFPLL phase tracking method to achieve a coarse estimate of doppler, but this method is only applicable to cases where the velocity of the carrier motion is small. While the lemyka et al proposes to perform spectral estimation on the training sequence by using chirp Z transform, the pseudo-random sequence has higher frequency resolution, which means that the detection of the correlation peak cannot be achieved under the condition of large doppler. In radio spread spectrum communication, PLL is usually used to track frequency and phase, however, PLL convergence needs to pass through tens or hundreds of symbols, and cannot be directly applied to underwater acoustic communication at low code rate. Therefore, a high-precision frequency estimation and compensation method suitable for large doppler conditions is urgently needed.

The specific implementation mode is as follows:
the invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments.
The invention provides an effective high-precision Doppler effect estimation and compensation method. The method firstly eliminates most Doppler by utilizing a resampling technology, then adopts a full-phase FFT method to realize high-precision estimation of frequency and phase, and simultaneously eliminates time ambiguity caused by Doppler.
First, frame sync detection
In the underwater acoustic communication system, a frame synchronization signal is required to determine the start position of each frame, and the frame synchronization signal adopts a sequence with better autocorrelation, such as an M sequence, a chirp signal (LFM signal), and the like. Considering that the ambiguity function of the LFM signal is wider on the doppler axis, which means that the LFM signal has a higher tolerance to doppler, the LFM signal is selected as the preamble and the postamble for burst information frame detection and frame length estimation, thereby avoiding detection failure and data packet loss caused by fast carrier motion speed. And the ambiguity function of the pseudo-random sequence has a sharp related peak on a Doppler axis and has higher frequency resolution, so that the pseudo-random sequence is used as a training sequence to realize high-precision estimation of carrier consistent Doppler frequency offset.
As the system is in a burst working mode, a receiving end firstly uses a lead code copy to carry out matched filtering on an input signal, completes frame detection through threshold judgment and determines the initial position of the signal. The end position of the signal is then determined using the midamble copies. At the receiving end, the chirp signal after passing through the channel can be expressed as:
rLFM(t)=sLFM(t)*h(t)
(1)
=∫h(τ)sLFM(t-τ)dτ
wherein s isLFM(t) is the transmitted chirp, h (t) is the channel impulse response, "+" indicates convolution. The received signal is correlated with a local copy of the LFM signal:
RLFM(ζ)=∫rLFM(t)sLFM(t-ζ)dt
(2)
=∫∫h(τ)sLFM(t-τ)dτsLFM(t-ζ)dt
exchange integration sequence:
RLEM(ζ)
=∫h(τ)∫ sLFM(t')sLFM(t′+τ-ζ)d(t′+τ)dτ
(3)
=∫h(τ)R(τ-ζ)dτ,
depending on the nature of the LFM, its autocorrelation function is at TBP = | K | T2The larger waveform may be approximated by a sinc function, where K is the rate of change of the signal frequency with time and T is the total time duration of the signal. And the limit of the sinc function is the shock function δ (t), equation (1) can be approximated as:
RLFM(ζ)≈∫h(τ)δ(ζ-τ)dτ=h(ζ)(4)
equation (4) shows that the channel impulse response can be approximately represented by the correlation result of the frame synchronization signal and the local replica signal at the receiving end, and the result is also the input of the frame synchronization detection.
Second, estimating the Doppler factor based on the frame length measurement
In underwater acoustic communication, because the ratio of the carrier frequency to the system bandwidth is small, the underwater acoustic channel is actually a broadband system, the doppler effect of the underwater acoustic signal cannot be simply represented by the doppler shift at the carrier frequency, but should be modeled as compression or expansion of an analog signal in the time domain, that is, the duration T of the signal should be changed from T to T/(1+ α), where α is a doppler factor, and the expression is α = v/c · cos (Φ), v is the relative motion speed, c is the sound speed, and Φ is the angle between the relative motion of the two parties and the sight line direction. Assuming that each path has the same Doppler factor, and considering the multipath, Doppler and noise effects, the received signal of the mth sub-channel can be expressed as

Wherein L represents a total of L propagation paths, dkBase band information sequence, cnBeing pseudo-random code sequences, symbols

Representing spread spectrum modulation, p (t) being a baseband pulse shaped waveform, fcIs a carrier frequency, almAnd τlmFor each path corresponding signal amplitude and delay, nm(t) is the noise of the mth subchannel, αmIs the corresponding doppler factor of the diversity signal.
The problem of estimation of the wideband doppler is the estimation of the doppler factor. After receiving signals and carrying out frame synchronization detection, the length of a data packet is estimated by using a lead code and a postamble contained in a frame structureBy matching a known frame length TtThe Doppler factor estimated value is obtained by comparison, as shown in formula (6)
Thirdly, resampling the received signal according to the Doppler factor estimated value
Estimation using doppler factor

For received signal rm(t) resampling is carried out, coarse compensation of the Doppler effect is completed, and the resampled signal is expressed as follows:
Figure BDA00002632398700082
the resampling method is selected in many ways, and in practical engineering application, the requirements of computation and precision can be considered, and a linear interpolation method based on a polyphase filter is selected.
Fourthly, precise Doppler estimation is completed by adopting full-phase FFT
On the basis of completing the Doppler effect coarse compensation, the full-phase FFT is used for carrying out high-precision frequency and phase estimation on the training signals after down-conversion and de-spread, and meanwhile, time ambiguity is eliminated, and the accurate signal starting time is obtained.
The full-phase FFT spectrum analysis reduces errors caused by signal truncation by an overlapping method, an input signal of the full-phase FFT spectrum analysis is a baseband signal containing residual Doppler information, and the specific processing flow is as follows:

Examples
Example of implementation: the frame structure designed herein is shown in fig. 2. The system bandwidth is 3kHz, so the LFM signal bandwidth is set to 3kHz, with a start frequency and a cut-off frequency of 1kHz and 4kHz, respectively. For a matched filter to have a sufficiently high detection performance, the time-bandwidth product BT of the LFM signal must be made sufficiently large to ensure that its main ridge of the ambiguity function is very narrow, typically meeting BT > 100. Thus, the LFM signal duration T takes 35 ms.
The overall motion compensation method of the present invention is implemented as shown in fig. 3. The receiving end firstly uses the lead code copy to carry out matched filtering on the input signal, completes frame detection through threshold judgment and determines the initial position of the signal. And then, determining the end position of the signal by using the back pilot code copy to obtain an estimated value of the Doppler factor, and resampling the signal to complete the coarse compensation of the Doppler effect. On the basis, the full-phase FFT is used for carrying out high-precision frequency and phase estimation on the training signals after down-conversion and de-spread, and meanwhile, time ambiguity is eliminated, so that the accurate signal starting time is obtained, wherein the full-phase preprocessing and frequency correction processes are respectively shown in the figures 4 and 5. And after frequency compensation and phase adjustment are carried out on the M diversity branches, in-phase superposition is carried out, and the original baseband information is recovered through de-spread and demodulation.
To better verify the performance of the present invention, the computer simulation results of this embodiment are given below:
and modeling the underwater sound channel according to the real ocean sound velocity distribution, and carrying out simulation research. Different channel impulse responses can be obtained by changing the relative horizontal position between the receiving and transmitting nodes, and the channel models have different fading characteristics and are used for further verifying the performance of the synthetic aperture spread spectrum communication in the time-varying underwater acoustic channel with low signal-to-noise ratio, strong multi-channel and frequency selective fading. Fig. 6 is a sound velocity profile actually measured in a certain sea area. The transceiver nodes are all located at a water depth of 20m, the distance between the transceiver nodes and the water depth is about 30km, and different channel impulse responses are obtained by changing the distance between the transceiver nodes and the water depth, as shown in fig. 7. The multipath structures of all the sub-channels are different, and the space-variant performance of the underwater acoustic channel is reflected. The delay spread of the channel is about 1s, namely the coherence bandwidth is 1Hz, and the sub-channels are all a mixture of minimum phase channels and maximum phase channels, which is extremely unfavorable for frame detection and extremely complex and harsh channel environment. In order to make the simulation more approximate to the real underwater sound environment, the simulation of the underwater sound channel is carried out from the following aspects: respectively convolving the frame structure direct sequence spread spectrum data frame shown in fig. 2 with the 6 channel models, which is equivalent to the transmission of data by a transmitting node at 6 different positions; each transmission is provided with different Doppler, which indicates that the relative movement speed of the transceiving node is changed; and finally, adding Gaussian white noise on the data frame. The specific simulation condition parameters are shown in table 1:

Carrier frequency fc 2.5kHz
Type of training sequence m sequence
Training sequence length 255 chips

Table 2 below summarizes the bit error rate statistics for 3200-bit baseband data based on monte carlo simulations. It can be seen that the error code performance of the system is obviously improved with the increase of M, when SNR = -15dB, the error code rate of 0.8% can be achieved through the synthetic aperture processing system, which fully shows that the motion compensation method provided by the invention effectively obtains the synthetic aperture space diversity gain and improves the communication quality.

In summary, the present invention provides an effective doppler effect estimation and compensation method for the problem of large loss of the synthetic aperture processing space diversity gain caused by motion in the synthetic aperture underwater acoustic spread spectrum communication.
