Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of atomic clocks, and particularly relates to a virtual atomic clock system for monitoring an entity atomic clock and a working method.
Background
In 1967, the thirteenth international measurement will define the basic time unit "second" as 9,192,631,770 times of the duration of the transition electromagnetic radiation period between two hyperfine sub-energy levels of the atomic ground state of cesium 133Cs, and since this time, when human beings step into the atomic time, the time becomes the physical quantity with the highest measurement precision in nature. The atomic clock as a timing tool enables the operation of the modern information society to become efficient and orderly, and the precise time and frequency standard is indispensable in various fields of national economy. The method is widely applied to astronomical observation, geodetic survey, traffic management, grid-connected power generation and troubleshooting. Accurate time synchronization is not well separated in financial transactions such as capital borrowing, exchange rate calculation, stock trading, etc., because the time is money. It brings huge changes to many industries, such as network appointment, shared bicycle, unmanned automobile, etc. Representative of these are Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the united states, the GLONASS (GLONASS) system in russia, and the GALILEO (GALILEO) system in europe and the Beidou (BDS) system in china. In local wars which occur in recent years, the satellite navigation positioning system provides unprecedented accurate hitting capability for conventional weapons, and plays a great role in determining the success and failure of wars. Meanwhile, the system plays an irreplaceable role in military operations such as weapon platforms, cooperative combat, emergency command and the like. It is also an important tool for scientific research, and can be used for exploring the change of basic physical constants, detecting dark substances, verifying relativity, and the like. The importance of precise time and frequency is increasingly prominent throughout many aspects of national economic construction and national defense modernization, and the establishment, maintenance, measurement and transmission of the precise time and frequency are one of the important marks of national strategic competitiveness.
The time value has a certain particularity compared with other physical quantities, and only the past time can be accurately measured. In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of atomic time signals, prospective prejudgment needs to be made according to the historical operation behavior of a main clock (atomic clock) in a laboratory, and a prejudgment result is adjusted to a time signal, so that the premeasurement evaluation is a key link of an atomic time generation system. At present, at home and abroad time-keeping laboratories mainly adopt polynomial fitting prediction and Kalman filter prediction to evaluate the prediction capability of an atomic clock, and in addition, a robustness prediction algorithm is also widely concerned by the industry. No matter what technique and method are used, the clock difference of the laboratory atomic clocks compared with each other is the only data source, and the clock difference is the relative deviation of the output phase or frequency signals of any two atomic clocks, and comprises 2 clocks and the information of the measurement noise. However, atomic clocks are physical signals output by 1 main clock, and only when the performance of 1 atomic clock is far higher than that of the other atomic clock, the atomic clock can evaluate the atomic clock worse according to a clock difference signal. In order to guarantee high accuracy and high reliability of atomic time signals, each laboratory adopts an atomic clock with optimal or nearly optimal performance as a main clock generated by atomic time, so that clock difference signals cannot accurately evaluate the main clock signals. In order to obtain reliable reference, the atomic clock group is usually combined to construct the clock group time mark TA, and theoretically, the performance of the clock group time mark TA can exceed that of any one atomic clock in the clock group, but in practical application, the performance of the clock group time mark TA is generally not superior to that of a better clock in the clock group, even far inferior to that of the optimal atomic clock. Research shows that the atomic clock in the same laboratory is influenced by environmental factors, and noise has strong correlation, so that the clock group time scale TA cannot be used as reference to accurately evaluate the performance of the atomic clock. Of course, the most stable and reliable time scale reference is coordinated universal time, UTC, i.e., international standard time. The method is released by the international metering Bureau (BIPM) after about 30-45 days, the time interval is 5 days, so that the performance of the atomic clock with the time interval of 5 days (integral multiple) can only be evaluated in a delayed mode, the UTC cannot be used as a reference to evaluate the performance of the atomic clock in 5 days, the real-time evaluation cannot be carried out, and the requirements for accurately regulating and controlling the main clock or monitoring other watch clocks cannot be met. In conclusion, establishing a real-time reliable reference is the basis for accurately evaluating the performance of the atomic clock and is the best guarantee for all prediction algorithms, clock group algorithms and driving algorithms.
In combination with the actual requirements generated by the atomic time scale of the time-keeping laboratory, the invention provides a method for constructing 1 virtualized atomic clock, the performance of which is close to the tested performance, and the performance is used as a reference to evaluate the performance of the entity atomic clock and monitor the abnormal behavior of the entity atomic clock. The virtualized atomic clock meets the real-time requirement by learning a large amount of historical behaviors of the entity atomic clock and extending the noise characteristic of preset time and depending on the calculated density.
As is well known, an atomic clock is a timing device, and the principle thereof is based on the physics of atoms, wherein atoms absorb or release electromagnetic energy according to the energy difference of different electron arrangement sequences, that is, the energy difference of different electron layers surrounding the atomic nucleus, wherein the electromagnetic energy is discontinuous, when the atoms transition from an "energy state" to a low "energy state", the atoms release electromagnetic waves, the characteristic frequency of the electromagnetic waves is discontinuous, that is, the resonance frequency of the same atom is constant, so that the atoms can be used as a metronome to maintain high-precision time, and when the physical atomic clock is influenced by the environment, abnormal conditions such as data deviation and the like occur, and a means for assisting in monitoring the physical atomic clock is needed. Research shows that the atomic clock in the same laboratory is influenced by environmental factors, and noise has strong correlation, so that the clock group time scale TA cannot be used as reference to accurately evaluate the performance of the atomic clock.

Taking a prediction method based on a neural network as an example, as shown in fig. 3, the number n of elements of an input layer is mainly determined according to the characteristics of 3 types of clock difference data, the number m of neurons of a hidden layer is planned to be determined by local optimization according to the data types of the input layer, and an output layer is basically determined as three types of phase information (p), frequency information (f) and frequency drift information (d) of an atomic clock. In the overall design idea, the neural network learning unit is responsible for repeatedly strengthening and learning the target characteristics from a large number of input samples and mapping the characteristics of the samples into a function distribution. Considering that the atomic clock error data has a typical time sequence result and the front and back data have long-range correlation in the time dimension, a long-range and short-range memory model LSTM in the recurrent neural network can be adopted to construct a neural network learning unit with global memory.

The original data set is analyzed, abnormal behaviors of the atomic clock, such as random jump of phase, frequency or frequency drift, are eliminated, and an atomic clock sample data set is formed. And then, an atomic clock prediction analysis unit learns the historical behavior of the atomic clock by using an algorithm, and extrapolates the deviation of the entity atomic clock with preset time relative to a reference to obtain clock error data (TA-T1). And taking the deviation (TA-T0) of the physical clock and the TA at the same moment, performing data conversion, eliminating the middle reference, and obtaining the relative deviation (T0-T1) of the virtual clock and the physical clock.

(1) history data:
let X be the measurement vector of the atomic clock phase or frequency data and T be the interval time between each data point.
X=(x1x2…xn) (1)
Wherein X represents a historical data sample, namely a phase difference or a frequency difference measured by an atomic clock relative to a reference clock or a time scale; xt represents the phase or frequency difference at time t, and vector X serves as historical data of atomic clock measurements for predicting future phase or frequency changes of the atomic clock.
(2) Random grouping

(3) Fitting function
Using a function for each packetA low order polynomial is applied to fit m sample data points (typically no more than 3) within the set, whereRepresenting the predictor j, t represents the time,a set of parameters representing a polynomial fit, including all or part of phase, frequency and frequency drift.
(4) Defining weights
Each predictorDepending on the specific objective, some statistics, such as mean absolute error, root mean square error, etc., may be used to evaluate the generalization capability of the predictor, i.e., the predictor weights.
(5) Weighted average
Merging predictors of all predictors using weighted averagingThus the predicted value xn +1 can be expressed as:
predictor for each random packet in a random tracking policyIs taken as a posterior distribution, where wj represents the predictorNormalized weights, so the combined predictor xn +1 is the weighted average of all posterior distributions.
(6) Outputting the predicted value
Weighted averageAnd the next-time predicted value is obtained as a final random tracking strategy according to the historical data vector.
In summary, the stochastic tracking strategy is a weighted average prediction method constructed based on a predictor group, which requires a prerequisite that the historical data vector X can represent the characteristics of the output frequency or phase of an atomic clock, and most data in the vector X has high reliability.
