Description

High precision distributed pulse signal arrival time difference detection system
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of civil aviation field multipoint positioning surveillance pulse signal detection system.
Background technology
Need in the civil aviation transport process position of aircraft is monitored in real time, the surveillance equipment that uses in a large number is aviation management one secondary radar at present.The supervision precision of tradition radar can satisfy the requirement that airborne aircraft monitors precision.And for airdrome scene, air traffic control radar monitors that precision can't reach<7.5 meters requirement, therefore needs to use new surveillance equipment.
Civil aviation multipoint positioning surveillance belongs to the passive location system based on time difference location.A plurality of signal receiving terminals that are distributed in diverse geographic location are arranged in this system.Each time (TOA) of standing of 1090Mhz answer signal arrival that airborne navigation management secondary radar answering machine sends will be measured by each receiving station.Afterwards, center processing subsystem certain answer signal that will calculate particular aircraft arrives the mistiming (TDOA) of each receiving station.Finally, the center processing subsystem will utilize 3 TDOA between above signal receiving terminal, calculate the exact position of aircraft.
The bearing accuracy of multipoint positioning surveillance is reached<7.5 meters precision, the detection of TDOA need reach the measuring accuracy of nanosecond.The accuracy and the drift characteristic of each receiving station local clock frequency there are differences, and can the accuracy of detection of TDOA be affected greatly, thereby introduce target location error.
In the existing mature technology, the method that can be used for subduing this kind error has three kinds: 1) GPS time service clock: all there is the clock module of a GPS time service at each multiple spot unit signal station, is used to provide the temporal frequency benchmark of single receiving station.GPS time service submodule in the module is by the difference on the frequency of comparison gps clock signal with local clock, constantly revises the frequency of local frequency source by mode such as voltage-controlled.Finally, make the clock signal at each station all be traceable to gps clock, thereby reach the purpose of eliminating clock jitter.
There is following limitation in these class methods: the transmission of gps signal can be subjected to ionosphere and disturb in the troposphere; The gps satellite that signal receiving terminal can trace into is in continuous variation; The frequency drift of receiving station's local clock is very slow.The existence of these factors requires GPS time service module to need could accurately estimate the drift characteristic of clock by the mass data accumulation.In addition, the voltage-controlled adjustment to receiving station's local clock is the slow process of a little stepping.Therefore the output of the clock of GPS time service clock need about 2 hours just can reach stable.And GPS time service clock general cost is higher.
2) use the cable network time of carrying out to transmit and comparison: these class methods use optical fiber to set up wired connection between signal receiving terminal and center processing station, and the comparison and the error correction of a clock signal of standing.
There is following limitation in these class methods: the laying of carrying out wired cable on the airport of having come into operation is comparatively difficult; Use wired cable to carry out clock comparison and require the distance between sites can not be excessive, can't adopt this kind method to carry out clock synchronization the supervision of aerial target on a large scale.
3) centralized TOA detects: signal receiving terminal only carries out signal and receives, and the signal that receives directly is forwarded to the center processing part by optical fiber.Center processing partly uses the single frequency benchmark as clock signal multiple signals to be detected the mark with TOA.In the method, each signal receiving terminal only plays the effect of signal forwarding, need not between each station clock synchronously.
There is following limitation in these class methods: the laying of carrying out wired cable on the airport of having come into operation is comparatively difficult; Use wired cable to carry out clock comparison and require the distance between sites can not be excessive, can't adopt this kind method to carry out clock synchronization the supervision of aerial target on a large scale.
