(3) manually control tracing mode, when manual control signal, the control of upper and lower, left and right will be judged by system, make servosystem by artificial controlling party to rotation.This state is used for manually system is adjusted input with reference point;
When the distance of plane distance land station during greater than 200 meters, F1 on the keypad starts automatic digital designation tracing mode, antenna system will be aimed at aircraft automatically this moment, if abnormality appears in the real-time telemetry data, system will automatically switch to voyage and calculate or the amplitude tracking pattern, still guarantee the sensing aircraft that antenna can be correct; When plane distance is overhead stood less than 200 meters, if antenna tracking system swing, catastrophic failure appears in perhaps real-time telemetry data, made when voyage reckoning or amplitude mode and digital designation tracing mode lost efficacy, F2 on the keypad starts manual tracing mode, at this moment, utilize the camera tracking aircraft, guarantee the correct sensing aircraft of antenna; When switching to manual tracing mode, make observing and controlling antenna direction direct north position by the F3 on the lower keyboard, make observing and controlling antenna direction horizontal level by the F4 on the lower keyboard, make the observing and controlling antenna point to direct north and horizontal level simultaneously by the F5 on the lower keyboard; In any time of system operation, can use the numerical key 1,2,3 on the keyboard to select, select suitable filtering system to handle the real-time telemetry data of aircraft, selection numerical key 1 expression aircraft does not take off as yet or is in floating state, select numerical key 2 expression aircrafts to be in the rectilinear flight state, select numerical key 3 expression aircrafts to be in bank position, select correct filter patterns, will help improving the performance of antenna tracking system more.
In force, be the antenna tracking system of main tracking mode with digital designation, main error sources has site error, the mechanical system errors of real-time target.
The error that the site error of real-time target causes orientation angles at first is discussed.The orientation angles error is not only relevant with the positioning error of target, also the distance with aircraft is relevant, we are example with gps data as the real-time measurement data of target, and the distance relation that obtains orientation angles error and aircraft (supposes that GPS locatees 20 meters of square errors) as shown in Figure 3.
As seen from Figure 3, when plane distance is nearer, orientation angles exists bigger inherent error, when for example plane distance is 200 meters, the intrinsic tracking error that has orientation angles is 5 °, and along with the distance increase of aircraft, the inherent error of orientation angles will reduce gradually, when the distance of aircraft reached 1000 meters, the intrinsic tracking error of orientation angles was 1 °.
The error of luffing angle comes from the error of aircraft altitude locator data, the error analysis of its error analysis and orientation angles is similar, different places is that aircraft will be higher than the sensor of position far away in the precision of low clearance sensor, for higher height, sensor accuracy has smaller for the error effect of luffing angle.In the altitude measurement system of depopulated helicopter, we have used following equipment:
(1) radio altimeter, 0 to 300 meter of measurement range, 1 meter of precision;
(2) pressure altimeter, 20 meters of precision;
(3) GPS altitude information, 20 meters of precision.
Therefore, because the low clearance sensor accuracy is higher, make the luffing angle positioning error than little many of orientation angles error, the distance relation of luffing angle error and aircraft as shown in Figure 4.
As can be seen from Figure 4, within 2 °, behind the corner reflector antenna of the wide lobe of use, this error is smaller for the influence of communication link to the inherent error of luffing angle always.Therefore, solve the focusing on the inherent error that reduces orientation angles of precision problem, we have adopted the position data of real-time target have been carried out filtering, reduce the error of data.
In two dimensional surface, according to the characteristics of unmanned helicopter flight, we are divided into three kinds of main types with its flight path, respectively they are used different Filtering Model and handle:
(1), hover, aircraft adopts the Kalman filter model of point of fixity position this moment not taking off, being in this state in liftoff initial stage and the landing time, bearing accuracy can be improved near an order of magnitude.
(2), rectilinear flight, the flying method that aircraft adopts when takeoff point flies to mission area, can adopt the Kalman filter model of CA (uniform acceleration) or CV (constant speed) this moment.
(3), orbit, the flying method that aircraft adopts at mission area, can adopt the Kalman filter model of orbit to carry out data processing this moment.
Use said method to carry out data processing and not only can reduce real-time position data, a Forecasting Methodology that voyage is calculated also is provided simultaneously, improved the precision during voyage is calculated.
Though there is certain error in antenna system when closely following the tracks of, this moment, therefore, communication system had bigger allowance on power because aircraft is overhead stood very closely.Calculate and actual experimental result according to the channel theory of the lobe pattern of antenna and communication system, it is as follows to obtain the aircraft error angle that the permission of antenna tracking system exists closely the time:
Distance (rice) Permissible error angle (degree)
????50 About 150
????100 About 90
????200 About 50
This shows that the precision of antenna tracking system will be higher than desired precision.Site error with respect to real-time target, mechanical system errors just embodies at a distance the time for the influence of antenna tracking system, and mechanical system errors is because there is certain coupling precision in mechanical system to the influence of orientation angles and luffing angle.Because use shaft-position encoder to finish closed-loop control, therefore, the error that mechanical system causes antenna tracking system is the precision of shaft-position encoder, less than 1 °.
Antenna tracking system mainly contains following several tracing mode:
1, digital designation pattern
Real-time target location in the telemetry is extracted, do relevant computing, obtain the angle of real-time target with respect to land station with the positional information of land station.Then, the real-time angle that this angle and aerial position sensor obtain being subtracted each other, obtain angular error, is zero thereby make angular error by interface control circuit and servosystem control antenna.
2, voyage is calculated or amplitude mode
Voyage is calculated or amplitude mode will be according to the target location of former position data (also comprising speed data sometimes) the prediction present moment constantly of target, for flight with certain movement model, can use Kalman's predictor formula, and, can use the method for 2 extrapolation methods or other maneuvering target tracking for the maneuvering flight that does not possess model.
3, manual control model
By the Interactive control of operator by control computer, assign the instruction of antenna movement, antenna is transferred to some sensings position, finish tracking.
In above-mentioned three kinds of patterns, the digital designation pattern is the groundwork state of system, but under the various situation, needs to use different tracing modes.The switching of pattern can be undertaken by the operator, also can be carried out automatically according to certain priority by computing machine.The process that the antenna system tracing mode is switched as shown in Figure 2.
When real-time target location was sent to control computer by telemetry continuously, antenna tracking system was in the digital designation tracing mode, and control computer will obtain angular error by data, came the control antenna tracker to finish and followed the tracks of sensing.
Because the influence of factors such as communication link, in case losing of telemetry occur, to cause losing of real-time target location, therefore, system will switch to voyage and calculate or amplitude mode, predict this target location constantly, keep the continuity of following the tracks of, promptly, avoid because the tracking accuracy that loss of data causes descends by the prediction of data.
The error size of voyage reckoning or amplitude mode is relevant with the state of aircraft flight, when aircraft flight satisfies certain flight model, the error of voyage reckoning or amplitude is less, but when aircraft was in maneuvering flight, voyage was calculated or As time goes on the error of amplitude increases rapidly.Therefore, calculate or amplitude surpasses the regular hour that when voyage when its error that causes can not meet the demands, system will switch to manual control model, avoid following the tracks of lose objects, provide the indication of reporting to the police simultaneously.Data and theoretical reckoning by experiment, we provide under the various states, and voyage is calculated or the time of amplitude is:
State Voyage is calculated or the amplitude time (second)
Hover or do not take off ????130
Maneuvering flight ????30
Orbit ????60
Antenna tracking system is the important component part of depopulated helicopter remote control telemetering system, and whether the antenna tracking system operate as normal also directly has influence on the work of remote control telemetering system simultaneously.In case antenna tracking system is lost tracking, to directly cause the remote control telemetering system interrupted communication link, its result is except land station can not obtain aircraft real-time state and operating aircraft, antenna tracking system also can not obtain the real-time position data of aircraft by telemetry, cause a vicious cycle.Therefore, must take corresponding method to avoid entering such circulation, also just seem very important of the reliability that guarantees antenna tracking system.
For addressing the above problem, antenna tracking system adopts method for processing abnormal data, guarantees the reliability of antenna tracking system.The processing of abnormal data is not only handled from the statistical information of data to reject wild value, also considers the flight characteristic of helicopter simultaneously.Data processing for the depopulated helicopter orientation can adopt different Filtering Model at three kinds of above-mentioned flight models, adopt different models can better improve the ability of unruly-value rejecting at different state of flight, the thresholding of handling about the abnormal data that adopts Filtering Model is selected and the calculating of false-alarm probability.For the data processing of depopulated helicopter height, also should be divided into two parts, i.e. Metacentre Height flight and motor-driven climbing (landing) flight.Metacentre Height flight can be used the disposal route and the corresponding method of abnormal value removing and correction of the Kalman filtering of fixed numbers, can use the Kalman filter model of CA or CV for motor-driven climbing (landing) flight.
More than the employing of these measures, guaranteed the reliability of antenna tracking system.
At the flight characteristic of depopulated helicopter, antenna tracking system also has two problems to need to handle:
(1) crosses the top tracking problem.Crossing top flight is special relatively state of flight of unmanned helicopter, crossing the top in-flight in order to guarantee aircraft, antenna tracking system still can be correct sensing, and can guarantee tracking velocity, adopted the method for designing of antenna pedestal to make the angle of pitch finish from-5 ° to 185 ° control.In addition, guarantee that from controlling the algorithm of following the tracks of antenna system can adopt the rotation of control pitch axis when crossing the top tracking, thereby avoid causing the delay of tracking by the 180 degree rotations of control azimuth axle.
(2) tracking antenna vibration problems closely.In the discussion in front, because there is relatively large error in the position angle in-plant the time, be stochastic distribution with time error, antenna will produce swing in the time of will causing aircraft closely if do not handle.For avoiding this state, we relax the tracking error closely the time, promptly along with the difference of plane distance, adopt different error threshold, in case the error of antenna tracking system has surpassed error threshold, correct again.The lobe pattern of antenna, the margin of power of communication system, the factors such as oscillating quantity when being untreated are depended in the selection of error threshold.Error threshold is selected as follows in native system:
Distance (rice) Error threshold (degree)
??<100 ????10
??100~500 ????5
??500~1000 ????2
??>1000 ????1
In ground mooring experiment and flight test, adopt this method, closely the performance of Gen Zonging is normal fully, and the swing of antenna reduces greatly.
