Description

Photoelectric hybrid multi-beam high-speed data receiving device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical fields of spacecraft measurement and control technology and satellite application, in particular to photoelectric hybrid multi-beam high-speed data receiving equipment and method.
Background
With the rapid development of the aerospace technology and the second-generation navigation system in China, the number of on-orbit satellites such as terrestrial remote sensing satellites, marine remote sensing satellites, communication satellites, navigation satellites and other low-orbit aircrafts is rapidly increased in the next ten years, the number of on-orbit satellites in China is predicted to reach about 150 according to the aerospace development planning in China in 2020, the required working frequency and working bandwidth are also improved accordingly, and the establishment of a ground system which can adapt to broadband and multi-target reception at the same time is inevitable.
The U.S. AFSCN develops a GDPAA-ATD multi-target measurement and control project, the antenna is in the form of a six-sided electric scanning phased array antenna, the receiving frequency band is 2.2-2.3GHz, 4 beams can be formed by adopting a digital beam forming system, the receiving and transmitting components all adopt an active phased array system, and the phase control is completed by a 4-bit phase shifter. The system has the problems of low working bandwidth, small number of beams, weak data transmission capability and insufficient supporting strength for multi-target reception; in addition, the system adopts a digital beam forming system, is complex, has high power consumption, needs to independently build a power station for a cooling system, has poor overall economic feasibility, and is difficult to be suitable for the development of high-frequency band systems such as Ka and the like in the future.
According to the concept of a grid spherical phased array antenna proposed by the European space agency in the United states, a scheme of a grid spherical top phased array antenna (GEODA) with the diameter of 5m is proposed in 2007, beam forming is completed in an electric domain, double circular polarization is adopted for receiving, a 1.7GHz S band is adopted, communication with a plurality of satellites can be carried out at one time, the design characteristics of the antenna are the same as those of the AFSCN in the United states, the same problems are faced, namely, the economic feasibility is poor, broadband signals cannot be processed, and the receiving capacity is weak.
From the research results and practical engineering at home and abroad, the directional diagram of the antenna scheme adopting subarray multi-beam formation is only limited by subarrays, and the instantaneous bandwidth only depends on the caliber of the subarrays. By adopting the structure of subarray delay and unit phase shift, the cost and complexity of the array are reduced, and more importantly, the aperture transit time can be partially counteracted, so that a wider instantaneous signal bandwidth is obtained. When the delay value of each delay line unit is changed, beam scanning can be completed, so that the problem of instantaneous bandwidth limitation of an array is solved, and antenna beam scanning is completed. However, the current phased array system adopts an electric delay method, which is usually realized by adopting a metal waveguide or a coaxial cable, and the delay equipment has large loss, large volume, large weight and narrow frequency band, and can have large electromagnetic interference, coupling and radiation, so that the method is obviously difficult to be practical in a large multi-target phased array system.
Most likely to solve the problem, the technical breakthrough brought to the traditional large-airspace large-scale electric scanning phased array antenna system is a photon technology which takes a semiconductor laser, integrated optics and optical fiber technology as a core and is developed very rapidly at present. Through OTTD (optical true time delay) technology and an optical wave beam forming network, the problem of wave beam inclination can be solved, the working capacity of large instantaneous bandwidth and other superior performances are obtained, the high-speed data receiving of full airspace, multiple wave beams and large bandwidth is realized, an optical signal processing method is easy to directly adopt, and the electromagnetic interference resistance is high.
