Description

Distance measurement method and system based on IM-DD
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of optical communication and ranging, in particular to a ranging method and system based on IM-DD.
Background
An intensity modulation direct detection (IM-DD, abbreviated as direct modulation direct detection) optical communication system is one of the most common ways of digital optical communication systems, and its basic structure includes an optical transmitter, a transmission medium (such as optical fiber or spatial optical communication), and an optical receiver. The optical transmitter modulates the baseband digital signal onto an optical carrier wave in an on-off keying (OOK) modulation mode by an intensity modulation method, and information is represented by the presence or absence of the optical signal in each bit time. The optical signal reaches the optical receiver after passing through a transmission medium such as an optical fiber or spatial transmission. The optical receiver carries out envelope detection on the optical signal with modulated intensity, namely, the baseband digital signal is directly recovered through the photoelectric detector. The direct alignment and detection optical communication system has significant advantages in terms of cost, reliability, and the like, and is widely adopted in the conventional high-speed long-distance optical communication system.
With the development of mobile communication technology, research on the sixth generation mobile communication technology (6G) is continuously carried out nowadays, and a 6G network will be a world of connectivity integrating terrestrial wireless communication and satellite communication, and by integrating satellite communication into 6G mobile communication, global seamless coverage is achieved. In the field of satellite communication, two selectable communication modes are wireless communication and optical communication, and in comparison, the transmission capacity of optical communication is more than several orders of magnitude larger than that of wireless communication. For the requirements such as 6G that require a large satellite communication capacity, the optical communication technical route is the first choice for the backbone communication method between satellites and the ground. Because the environment of the satellite orbit is severe, the types of components on the satellite are limited, the selection of the components is difficult, and the requirements of commercialization are urgent in the aspects of cost, service life and the like. Due to the obvious advantages of the direct alignment and light detection communication in the aspects of cost, reliability and the like, the direct alignment and light detection communication becomes a preferred technical system for an application scene which takes a low-earth orbit satellite as a main deployment mode and needs a large-capacity communication requirement.
The acquisition of the relative position information between the satellites is a precondition for ensuring the normal operation of the formation constellation, so the satellites need to finish accurate inter-satellite and inter-satellite-ground distance measurement by themselves to determine the relative state between the satellites or the inter-satellite-ground state in the formation constellation. The system combines the optical communication technology and the ranging technology, realizes the inter-satellite and inter-satellite-ground communication, and accurately measures the satellite track, has huge potential benefits and wide application prospects, but is a problem to be solved by considering the ranging precision and the system cost well.
