Description

Method and device for capturing satellite signals
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of navigation technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for capturing satellite signals.

Currently, the main Satellite NAvigation systems in the world include a Global Positioning System (GPS), a BD2 (the second beidou), a Global NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), and a Galileo (Galileo) Satellite NAvigation System. Both GPS and BD2 use CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology, and the physical layer frame structures thereof are much similar, so that the receiver design is similar, including rf front end processing, baseband digital signal processing, and positioning navigation operations. The baseband digital signal processing process generally includes acquisition, tracking, bit synchronization, frame synchronization, and the like.
The acquisition process of the satellite navigation receiver to the satellite signal includes frequency mixing, correlation operation, coherent integration/non-coherent integration and decision, and the principle of navigation signal acquisition is shown in fig. 1. In the process of capturing a certain satellite signal by a receiver, a digital intermediate frequency signal is firstly mixed with a sine carrier on a receiving in-phase branch and a cosine carrier on an orthogonal branch respectively, then the mixing result is correlated with a copied C/A code, then the coherent results of the in-phase branch and the orthogonal branch are respectively subjected to coherent integration for a period of time to generate two coherent integration result data, and finally the data of the two coherent integration results are subjected to incoherent integration to obtain a to-be-detected quantity and are sent to a detection decision device. The detection decision device carries out detection decision on the operation result according to the set decision rule, and the receiver determines the next action according to the success or failure of the decision result. Therefore, whether the signal detection result is successful or not and the subsequent processing depend on the judgment result of the detection decider, so that whether the design of the detection decider is reasonable or not directly influences the acquisition performance of the receiver.
The detection judgment technology of the related technology has the problem of low accuracy of acquisition detection judgment, and particularly, the accuracy of acquisition detection judgment of satellite signals in signal intensity change is lower.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
The steps illustrated in the flow charts of the figures may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, while a logical order is shown in the flow diagrams, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different than here.
In the related art, the detection and decision techniques mainly include the following three techniques:
1. the maximum incoherent integral magnitude is compared to a threshold value. Specifically, if the maximum value of the non-coherent integration amplitude is smaller than the capture threshold, the detection decision device judges that the signal is not searched yet, then the receiver adjusts the carrier numerically-controlled oscillator and the C/A code numerically-controlled oscillator according to the set search step length, and continues to search and detect the signal in the next search unit; otherwise, as long as the maximum value of the non-coherent integration amplitude is not less than the capture threshold, the detection decision device judges that the signal is searched.
The detection performance of the detection judgment method greatly depends on the setting of the threshold, and once the threshold is too low or too high, a larger false alarm probability or missed detection probability occurs, so that the accuracy of detection judgment is lower. In addition, the method cannot detect the satellite which is changed from weak to strong, and is not suitable for detection judgment of the satellite signal with the changing signal intensity.
2. The ratio of the maximum incoherent integrated amplitude to the second largest value of the incoherent integrated amplitude is compared to a threshold value. Specifically, first, the maximum value of the non-coherent integration amplitude and the second largest value of the non-coherent integration amplitude excluding the code phase at which the maximum value is located and the left and right half code phases are found. The detection judger compares the ratio of the maximum value and the second maximum value of the non-coherent integral amplitude with a preset threshold, if the ratio is smaller than the threshold, the detection judger judges that the signal is not searched, so that the receiver adjusts the carrier wave numerical control oscillator and the C/A code numerical control oscillator according to a set search step length, and continues to search and detect the signal in the next search unit; otherwise, if the ratio is not smaller than the threshold, the detection decision device determines that the signal is found, and the receiver then generally further confirms the success of signal acquisition.
The threshold value of the ratio in the detection and judgment method is difficult to determine, and higher omission factor or false alarm probability exists, so that the accuracy of detection and judgment is lower.
3. A double threshold method.
Specifically, firstly, two threshold values, namely a high threshold value and a low threshold value, are set, the threshold values are respectively assumed to be a threshold 1 and a threshold 2, three peak values of the non-coherent integration amplitude are found, the code phase, the Doppler shift and the ratio of the amplitude to the noise bottom corresponding to each peak value are given, and the code phase, the Doppler shift and the ratio of the amplitude to the noise bottom are sent to a detection decision device. If the amplitude of the maximum peak value is not less than the threshold 1, the search is ended in advance, and the corresponding satellite is directly switched to the tracking phase. If the amplitude of the maximum peak is less than the threshold 2, the search is ended, and it is determined that no satellite signal is detected in the acquisition. If the amplitude of the maximum peak value is less than the threshold 1 but not less than the threshold 2, starting consistency check; the consistency check is to check the three peak values on the code phase and the Doppler frequency shift, and the three peak values are considered to be correctly captured as long as the three peak values are consistent with each other, and then tracking is carried out; otherwise, the search is determined to fail. Wherein, the definition of code phase consistency is: the code phase difference of the peak values obtained in the capturing and verifying stages is small enough and is approximately within the range of two chips; doppler shift consistency means that the doppler shifts of the peaks obtained during the acquisition and verification phases must differ by a sufficiently small amount.
When determining three peak values, the detection and judgment method cannot ensure the rationality of the three peak values, namely the three peak values should be on the same frequency point theoretically, and the code phase interval should not exceed one chip. Thus, there may be a higher probability of false alarm.
As can be seen from the above, the accuracy of the acquisition detection decision in the related art is not high, and especially the accuracy of the acquisition detection decision of the satellite signal in the signal strength variation is lower. Aiming at the technical problem, the technical scheme is provided, so that the accuracy of capturing detection judgment can be improved, the accuracy of capturing verification is further improved, and the method can be suitable for satellite signals with signal strength changing.
The following describes in detail an implementation of the technical solution of the present application.
Example one
As shown in fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a method for acquiring a satellite signal, which may include:
step 201, searching a search unit by using a preset capture mode, and detecting and judging a non-coherent integration amplitude of the search unit according to a preset capture threshold and a division threshold;
step 202, when it is judged that a satellite signal is likely to be captured in the search unit, another preset capture mode is used for continuing to search the search unit, and detection judgment is carried out on the non-coherent integration amplitude of the search unit according to a preset capture threshold and a division threshold;
repeating the searching and the detecting decisions of steps 201 and 202 for the search unit until it is determined that a satellite is acquired or no satellite signal is detected on the search unit; wherein the integration time and/or number of integrations differs between the capture modes.
In the embodiment, the two thresholds (namely the capture threshold and the division threshold) are combined with the two capture modes to realize the capture of the satellite signal, so that the accuracy of the capture detection judgment is improved, the accuracy of the capture verification is improved, the satellite signal with the signal intensity changing can be adapted, and the omission or false alarm is avoided.
In this embodiment, the capture threshold VHThe amplitude value is the lower limit which can be judged as the current capturing success, namely the capturing success of the round can be judged at least when the threshold is reached; division threshold VLThe current acquisition failure is determined as the upper limit of the amplitude, that is, the acquisition failure of the current round on the current search unit can be determined as long as the amplitude is less than the threshold.
In this embodiment, the to-be-detected quantity may be an amplitude or an energy value of a signal obtained when integration is finished after the current search unit is searched, and the energy value may be represented as a square of the amplitude of the signal. In one implementation, the detection value may be a peak value of a maximum amplitude of non-coherent integration obtained when integration is ended after a search is performed on the current search unit.
In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the scan mode may include: a fast scan mode, a high sensitivity mode; wherein the integration time and/or number of integrations of the fast scan mode is less than the high sensitivity mode. In a specific implementation manner, a fast scan mode may be used for searching, a high sensitivity mode may be used for searching the current search unit when it is determined that a satellite signal may be captured in the search unit, and a fast scan mode may be used for searching the current search unit when it is determined that a satellite signal may be captured in the search unit, and the above steps are repeated until it is determined that a satellite signal is captured in the current search unit or a satellite signal is not detected in the current search unit or the number of searches reaches a predetermined value (for example, the number of searches is controlled by a counter, and the search of the current search unit is stopped when the number of searches reaches the maximum value of the counter, which may avoid infinite loop). Therefore, through the combination of the two modes of the fast scanning and the high-precision scanning, the searching efficiency can be improved, the accuracy of the acquisition detection judgment can be improved, and the method is particularly suitable for the acquisition of the satellite signals with the signal intensity changing.
In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the detection decision may be performed on the to-be-detected quantity of the search unit according to the capture threshold, and then the detection decision may be performed on the to-be-detected quantity of the search unit according to a result of the decision and the division threshold. Therefore, the satellite signals which can be captured by the current search unit are determined through the capture threshold, and then further detection judgment is carried out on the satellite signals which are possibly captured, so that the processing efficiency of the capture detection judgment can be improved.
In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the to-be-detected quantity of the search unit non-coherent integration may be respectively compared with the capture threshold and the division threshold; if the quantity to be detected is not less than the capture threshold, judging that the satellite signals are captured in the current search unit; if the quantity to be detected is smaller than the division threshold, judging that no satellite signal is detected in the current search unit; and if the quantity to be detected is less than the acquisition threshold but not less than the division threshold, judging that satellite signals can be acquired in the search unit. Specifically, the amount to be detected of the search unit non-coherent integration may be compared with the capture threshold; and when the quantity to be detected is smaller than the capture threshold, comparing the quantity to be detected with the division threshold so as to improve the processing efficiency of detection judgment. Of course, the present application can also be implemented in other manners, for example, the to-be-detected quantity of the search unit non-coherent integration may be simultaneously compared with the capture threshold and the division threshold, or may be compared with the division threshold first, and then compared with the capture threshold based on the comparison result. The implementation of a particular process is not limited herein.
In an exemplary processing manner of this embodiment, two acquisition modes are divided, where the first mode is a Fast Scan (FS) mode, that is, a shorter integration time or a smaller number of integration times is used for acquisition to complete a Fast Scan of satellite signals; the second mode is a High-Sensitivity (HS) mode, i.e. a long integration time or a large number of integration times is used in acquisition to complete High-precision scanning of satellite signals and improve acquisition Sensitivity. In addition, two thresholds, one high and one low, are set, and the score is assumedThe other is the acquisition threshold and the division threshold. Two judgers are provided: the decision device 1 and the decision device 2 are respectively corresponding to a capture threshold VH(high threshold) and a division threshold VL
As shown in fig. 3, a specific flow of the exemplary processing manner may include:
step 301, when the satellite navigation receiver captures a certain satellite signal, the FS mode is first used to perform fast search, and when the detected quantity of a certain search unit is detected and determined, the decision device 1 is first entered.
Step 302, the decision device 1 compares the amount to be detected of the search unit with the capture threshold VHMaking a decision, and if the decision result of the decision device 1 is successful, continuing to step 303; if the judgment result of the judger 1 is failure, entering a judger 2 and skipping to the step 304;
step 303, when the determination result of the determiner 1 is successful, determining that the satellite signal is captured in the current search unit, ending the search, and directly converting the corresponding satellite into the tracking stage.
Step 304, after entering the decision device 2, the decision device 2 compares the amount to be detected of the search unit with the division threshold VLMaking a decision, and if the decision result of the decision device 2 is failure, continuing to step 305; if the judgment result of the judger 2 is successful, which indicates that the satellite signal is likely to be captured in the current search unit, the HS mode is entered, and the step 306 is skipped;
step 305, when the judgment result of the judger 2 is failure, judging that the satellite signal is not detected in the current search unit at the time of acquisition;
step 306, the search of the current search unit is continued in the HS mode, that is, a refinement search is performed on the current search unit to further determine whether the current satellite signal exists.
After entering the HS mode, the current search unit is searched with high sensitivity, specifically, a longer coherent integration time and a larger number of non-coherent integrations are added to the current search unit. After the integration is finished, when the detection judgment is performed on the to-be-detected quantity of a certain search unit, the judgment still enters the judgment device 1.
Step 307, the decision device 1 compares the amount to be detected of the search unit with the capture threshold VHAnd judging, if the judgment result of the judger 1 is successful, returning to the step 303, judging that the satellite is captured on the current search unit, finishing the search in advance, and directly converting the corresponding satellite into a tracking stage. If the decision result of the decision device 1 is failure, the decision device 2 is entered and the process jumps to the step 308.
Step 308, after entering the decision device 2, the decision device 2 compares the detected quantity of the search unit with the division threshold VLAnd judging, if the judgment result of the judger 2 is failure, returning to the step 305, and judging that the satellite signal is not detected on the current search unit in the acquisition. If the decision result of the decision device 2 is successful, which indicates that there is a high possibility that satellite signals are captured in the current search unit, the FS mode is entered again, i.e. the step 301 is returned, and a fast search is continued for the current search unit.
In view of the above, the current searching unit is repeatedly searched by switching the acquisition mode in the above process until a satellite is acquired or no satellite signal is detected in the acquisition, and the search of the current searching unit is ended; in addition, the search of the current search unit can be finished when the search times of the current search unit reach a certain preset value, and infinite loop can be avoided. For example, the number of searches of a search unit is controlled by a counter, and the search of the search unit is stopped when the number of searches of a search unit reaches the maximum value of the counter.
The following describes a specific implementation process of the present embodiment in detail with reference to examples.
Examples of the invention
As shown in fig. 4, an exemplary procedure for satellite signal acquisition in this example may include:
in step 401, when the satellite navigation receiver performs acquisition of a certain satellite signal, a fast search is first performed using the FS mode.
Step 402, when the non-coherent integration amplitude of a certain search unit is detected and judged, the amplitude V of the maximum peak is compared with the threshold VHThe relationship (2) of (c). If the amplitude V of the maximum peak value is not less than the threshold VHThen continue to step 403 if the magnitude V of the maximum peak is less than the threshold VHThen go to step 404;
in step 403, the satellite is acquired in the current search unit, the search is ended in advance, and the corresponding satellite is directly switched to the tracking phase.
Step 404, further comparing the amplitude V of the maximum peak with a threshold VLIf the amplitude V of the maximum peak is less than the threshold VLThen continue to step 405 if the magnitude V of the maximum peak is not less than the threshold VLIf yes, then it indicates that there is a high possibility that a satellite signal is captured in the current search unit, and step 406 is entered;
step 405, it is determined that no satellite signal is detected in the current search unit in the current acquisition, and the search is finished.
Step 407, enter the HS mode, that is, perform a fine search on the current search unit to further determine whether the current satellite signal exists.
In this step, after entering the HS mode, a high-sensitivity search is performed on the current search unit, specifically, a longer coherent integration time and a larger number of non-coherent integration times are added to the current search unit, and after the integration is completed, the process proceeds to step 408;
step 408, detecting and judging the non-coherent integration amplitude of a certain search unit, firstly comparing the amplitude V of the maximum peak value with the threshold VHThe relationship (2) of (c). If the amplitude V of the maximum peak value is not less than the threshold VHThen, return to step 403; if the amplitude V of the maximum peak value is less than the threshold VHThen go to step 409;
step 409, further comparing the amplitude V of the maximum peak value with a threshold VLThe relationship (2) of (c). If the amplitude V of the maximum peak is less than VLThen it is determined that the acquisition did not detect satellite signals on the current searcher unit. If the amplitude V of the maximum peak value is not less than the threshold VLThen, it is explained inThe FS mode is entered again when there is a high probability that a satellite signal is captured in the current search unit, i.e. the step 401 is returned to, and a fast search is continued for the current search unit.
Since the strength of the satellite signal changes with time, the current search unit is repeatedly searched in the process of this example until it is determined that a satellite is acquired or it is determined that no satellite signal is detected during the acquisition, and the search of the current search unit is ended.
In practical applications, the method of the present embodiment can be applied to a satellite navigation receiver, and in particular, can be implemented by a baseband digital signal processing module.

Wherein the integration time and/or number of integrations differs between the capture modes.
In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the scan mode may include: a fast scan mode, a high sensitivity mode; wherein the integration time and/or number of integrations of the fast scan mode is less than the high sensitivity mode. In a specific implementation, the search processing unit 51 is configured to perform a search using the fast scan mode, perform a search using the high sensitivity mode when the detection determining unit 52 determines that a satellite signal may be acquired in the search unit, and perform a search using the fast scan mode when the detection determining unit 52 determines that a satellite signal may be acquired in the search unit, and so on until the detection determining unit 52 determines that a satellite signal is acquired in the search unit or a satellite signal is not detected in the search unit. Therefore, through the combination of the two modes of the fast scanning and the high-precision scanning, the searching efficiency can be improved, the accuracy of the acquisition detection judgment can be improved, and the method is particularly suitable for the acquisition of the satellite signals with the signal intensity changing.

That is, the two decision devices correspond to an acquisition threshold (high threshold) and a division threshold (low threshold), respectively. Here, the amount to be detected may be an amplitude or an energy value of a signal obtained when integration is ended after a search is performed on the current search unit, and the energy value may be expressed as a square of the amplitude of the signal. In one implementation, the detection value may be a peak value of a maximum amplitude of non-coherent integration obtained when integration is ended after a search is performed on the current search unit. Accordingly, the decision device here may be an amplitude comparator, an energy value comparator, or the like.
Specifically, the first decider 521 may be specifically configured to compare the amount to be detected of the search unit non-coherent integration with the capture threshold; if the quantity to be detected is not less than the capture threshold, judging that the satellite signals are captured in the current search unit; if the quantity to be detected is smaller than the capture threshold, sending the quantity to be detected into the second decision device; the second decision device 522 may be specifically configured to compare the to-be-detected amount of the search unit non-coherent integration with the division threshold, determine that a satellite signal is not detected in the current search unit when the to-be-detected amount is smaller than the division threshold, determine that a satellite signal may be captured in the search unit when the to-be-detected amount is not smaller than the division threshold, and notify the search processing unit.
