The satellite signal may be a characteristic signal of a satellite in this embodiment. Reading the characteristic signals of the satellite is a basic method for successfully capturing the satellite by a mobile satellite automatic satellite antenna (an automatic moving and static communication antenna and a communication-in-motion antenna). The characteristic signals are generally: a satellite beacon signal, a satellite fixed carrier signal (e.g., a DVB signal), a target service carrier signal. Further, in this embodiment, the satellite signal may be a target service carrier signal including N frequency points.
Specifically, in this embodiment, digital filtering may be performed on the discrete digital sampling value sequence x (N) including the signal values of the N frequency points in the digital filtering module according to a preset filtering frequency and a preset filtering bandwidth, so as to obtain N signal value sequences y corresponding to the N frequency pointsi(n)(i=1,2,3,4,…… N). Wherein each signal value sequence yi(N) (i ═ 1,2,3,4, … … N) each contain multiple signal values and correspond to a bin. In an alternative embodiment the signal value may be a level value.

Specifically, the middle satellite 16 satellite signal is down-converted and amplified to the L-band by the LNB. The spectrum allocation plan of the middle star 16 shows that the beam 4 contains 5 channels in total, and therefore the beam 4 can contain 5 signals. Each signal bandwidth is 74.5MHz, each signal bandwidth plus the guard signal is 75MHz, and when the total bandwidth of the beam 4 is calculated, the total bandwidth is calculated according to the bandwidth of 400MHz, that is, B is 0.4 GHz. And the frequency-reduced No. 4 wave beam corresponds to the central frequency point of the L wave band at 1.98 GHz. According to the band-pass sampling theorem, the sampling frequency F s needs to satisfy Fs ≧ 2(Fh + Fl)/(2n +1), Fs ≧ 2B. In this embodiment, Fh is 1.98+0.2 to 2.18GHz, Fl is 1.98-0.2 to 1.78GHz, B is 0.4GHz, and Fs satisfying the condition is 0.99GHz by enumerating an integer n. The ADC sampling rate Fs is set.

The signal bandwidth is 75 MHz. Therefore, in this embodiment, the discrete digital sample value sequence including the signal values of N frequency points is the discrete digital sample value sequence x (N) including the signal values of 5 frequency points whose central frequency points are 1.842GHz, 1.917GHz, 1.992GHz, 2.067GHz, 2.142GHz, and the like, respectively.

Optionally, the central frequency point of the 5 frequency points is respectively used as the filtering frequency of the digital filtering module 402, and the filtering bandwidth of the digital filtering module 402 is 70, which is slightly less than the signal bandwidth, so that the influence of the impurity signal can be effectively eliminated.

For the first signal value sequence y1(n) the sum may be RS1=y(1)+y(2)+y(3)。
