Description

High-dynamic high-sensitivity Beidou D1 signal capturing method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of satellites and relates to a high-dynamic high-sensitivity Beidou D1 signal capturing method.
Background
The Beidou D1 signal capturing with high dynamic and high sensitivity is mainly used for realizing the rapid capturing of a D1 signal by a GNSS receiver under the conditions of high dynamic and weak received signal power under the influence of Neumann-Hofman code (NH code) for overcoming the D1 signal modulation, and is an important link in a navigation receiver with high dynamic and high sensitivity.
The Neumann-Hofman code period modulated by the Beidou D1 signal is 20ms, and the chip length is 1 ms.
The function is as follows:
1) reducing mutual interference of GNSS signals;
2) facilitating a bit synchronization process of the signal. However, since the receiver does not know the NH code phase of the D1 signal during the signal acquisition phase, if the coherent integration time is extended to increase the baseband gain, the risk of energy cancellation is very high, further reducing the sensitivity.
To achieve high sensitivity capture of the D1 signal, the strategy adopted at this time is generally:
(1) the coherent integration time of the D1 signal is fixed to 1ms, the problem of bit jump is avoided in a non-coherent integration mode, but the non-coherent loss cannot be ignored along with the increase of the integration time;
(2) the NH code phase is searched for in the fourth dimension of the signal search (the remaining three dimensions are carrier doppler, pseudo code phase and satellite PRN), but this greatly increases resource consumption.
Continuing with strategy (2) above: to achieve sufficient coherent gain, the NH code must be stripped, but since the receiver is not aware of the NH code phase of each satellite D1 signal at acquisition, a total of 20 code start points (corresponding to 20 different NH code phases) are searched, and the resource consumption for completing one acquisition cycle is expanded from 2M Ncode ndopsler in strategy (1) to 20M 2 ndopsler, where M is the total integration time, 2 Ncode is twice the code length of the D1 signal (half the number of chips in a code period), and ndopsler is the number of doppler frequency wells.

Figure BDA0003532449560000041
in order to ensure that the accumulated sampling point sequence still contains frequency information, the sequence stripped by the pseudo code is only accumulated in a segmented manner, and thus, the accumulated sum of the parts is subjected to spectrum analysis by using FFT; consider the big dipper intermediate frequency data sampling sequence of 1ms length, note:
Figure BDA0003532449560000042
wherein T issFor the sampling interval, C is a pseudo-random code, omegaIFIs the intermediate frequency carrier frequency and is the initial phase; the value of M is 0 to N-1, which means that the number of samples in 1ms is N, and no navigation message bit jumps in a pseudo-random code period; each segment of short-time correlation integral has length of M sampling points, and T is usedpThe duration of the short-time correlation is represented, and the output of the ith short-time correlation accumulation is:

Figure BDA0003532449560000044
the result of the short-time correlation is a sampling interval of TpOf (a) a sequence of numbers In-jQnN ═ 1., L }, where L samples are present in the entire period, and the sequence is FFT transformed, the result is:
Figure BDA0003532449560000051
in the strong star mode, the data length corresponding to one FFT is 1ms, assuming that L is generated by short-time correlation matched filtering in total as 8 partial sums, and the number of signal points is increased to 16 by 0-complementing operation, i.e. the signal period is lengthened to 2ms, then the fundamental frequency of FFT transform
Figure BDA0003532449560000052
Namely, the capture resolution of the carrier Doppler dimension is 500Hz, and the step length is omega xL which is 4000 Hz; in the weak satellite mode, firstly, performing coherent integration on the partial sum generated by the short-time correlation matched filtering, obtaining L partial sums after further accumulation every 4ms, and then sending the partial sums into an FFT module; coherent integration only folds the sampling points with the same phase in the code period, and the frequency resolution and the step length at the moment are consistent with those in the strong star mode.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention converts the search of the NH code starting point into the search of a plurality of truncated 4-bit NH code sequences, not only maintains a coherent integration strategy, but also reduces the resource consumption for completing one-time capture, and improves the capture sensitivity and the capture time. The method adopts a base band working mode of cache-playback, so in order to make up for the inconsistency of signal acquisition parameters and real-time signal parameters caused by high dynamics, the method utilizes an EPL correlator of a tracking channel to slide the pseudo code phase of a signal so as to achieve the aim of successfully pulling the signal under the high dynamics.

Please refer to fig. 1, which shows a high dynamic and high sensitivity Beidou D1 signal capturing method.
(1) Determining a time window TDCAccumulating the digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) signals sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) within a time window, averaging at the end of the window to obtain a DC component of the IF signal, and subtracting the DC component from a subsequent incoming IF signal, wherein TDCIs taken as value of 2nFs, fs is the 60MHz intermediate frequency signal sampling rate.
(2) The signal is multiplied by a carrier signal output by a local oscillator through a frequency mixer to obtain a zero intermediate frequency I/Q signal.
(3) The Beidou D1 signal is half-band (Halfband) filtered to remove noise components in the signal. Taking the B1I signal as an example, the zero intermediate frequency signal is down-sampled by 2 times after being filtered by a first half band (Halfband), then down-sampled by 2 times after being filtered by a second half band, and then down-sampled by 3 times after being filtered by the first half band, so as to finally obtain the zero intermediate frequency signal with fs/12 being 5 MHz.
(4) After passing through the plurality of stages of half-band filters and samplers in the step (3), the effective bit width of the signal is gradually accumulated, and a new time window T is set for reducing the complexity of subsequent operationQAnd carrying out probability distribution calculation of the sampling values in the window. Due to the symmetry of normal distribution, only the probability distribution of the +1 sampling point and the +3 sampling point needs to be considered, if the +1 point is more than twice of the +3 point, the threshold is reduced, otherwise, the threshold is improved, and the sampling point value always presents normal distribution.
(5) The quantized signal is down-sampled to twice the pseudo code rate and passed to the acquisition circuit.
(6) The acquisition circuit finishes signal acquisition in a mode of alternating a strong star mode and a weak star mode. Coherent integration is not performed on the signal in the strong star mode (i.e., coherent integration time is 1ms), and the effect of NH code modulation is negligible at this time. The coherent integration time of the signal in weak star mode is chosen to be 4 ms. Specifically, the basic flow of signal acquisition in the strong star mode is
Continuous buffering- > carrier stripping- > short-time correlation matched filtering- > spectral analysis (FFT) - > non-coherent integration and energy decision,
the basic flow of signal acquisition in the weak satellite mode is as follows:
fixed-point discontinuous caching- > carrier stripping- > short-time correlation matched filtering- > NH code stripping- > coherent integration- > spectrum analysis (FFT) - > non-coherent integration and energy judgment- > Doppler and pseudo-code compensation.
(7) Capturing the D1 signal in a strong star mode, specifically, storing the data entering the capturing circuit in the step (5) to a data capacity VAIn cache A, VAShould equal the number of samples required to complete a signal acquisition in the strong star mode, 2 x N (T)noncoh+1), N is the number of chips in the pseudo-code period, TnoncohIs the non-coherent integration time. At the same time, storing the data in the step (5) to the data capacity V in parallelBIn cache B of (1), VBShould equal the number of samples required to complete signal acquisition in the weak star mode 2 x N (T)coh*Tnoncoh+1), N is the number of chips in the pseudo-code period, Tcoh4 is the number of coherent integrations in the weak star mode, TnoncohIs the non-coherent integration time.
(8) In particular, cache B is only paired with [ T ]0+K*TD1,T0+K*TD1+4]Buffering signal points in time intervals, i.e. fixed-point discontinuous buffering as described above, where TD120 navigation data period of D1 signal, T0For the starting time of the cache, K is a non-negative integer and has a value range of 0-K < TnoncohThe units are milliseconds.
(9) Because the time for the cache A to finish storing all the sampling points is obviously shorter than that of the cache B, after the cache A finishes storing, the capturing engine writes in a PRN (pseudo random number) to be searched, and the capturing circuit generates a pseudo code according to the PRN. After the pseudo code is generated, the circuit works at the working frequency facqAnd taking out the data in the buffer for playback.
(10) Firstly, carrying out carrier stripping on signals according to a theoretical intermediate frequency value of a radio frequency chip to obtain I, Q two paths of zero intermediate frequency signals.
(11) And transmitting the playback signal point into an N-bit shift register in the matched filtering module, wherein N is equal to the value of twice the code length of the signal. When the number of the playback signal points is more than or equal to N, carrying out short-time correlation matched filtering on the signals according to the pseudo code sequence generated in the step (10) to obtain 2KA short timeCorrelation sum, where K is the radix of the FFT. The coherent integration time is 1ms under the strong satellite mode, and the algorithm is not influenced by NH code modulation, so that the interference ratio of 2 is increasedKThe short-time correlation sum is passed directly to the FFT block.
(12) 2 in the step (11)KFFT conversion is carried out on the short-time correlation sum to obtain 2 of the frequency domainKAnd each signal segment is subjected to cache operation, and after the next correlation operation is finished, the new signal segment accumulates cache results. The accumulated times reach TnoncohThen, the average value E of the incoherent integral energy of N code phases is obtainedmeanTo find the maximum integral energy value EmaxThe ratio Emax/EmeanAnd comparing the energy with a preset threshold value to judge the energy.
(13) Because of the limitation of hardware resources, the satellite PRN dimension is necessarily serial search, and therefore, after the current satellite is captured, the playback V is replayed againAAnd (5) the stored sampling points are stored, and the steps (9) to (12) are repeated, and the process of capturing the next star is entered.
(14) Starting a tracking channel for the successfully captured satellite, and reading the dump timestamp T returned after the channel is integrated for the first timedumpCombined with time stamp T released when signal buffering is finishedstoreAnd calculating the code starting point of the signal.
After BDS satellites on the searching list complete one round of acquisition in the strong star mode, V is usedBThe time for storing the sample points required by one round of capture is long, and V needs to be detectedBWhether or not to store to a specified capacity, e.g. VBIf not enough samples are stored, the strong star pattern is repeated to capture signals: will VAAnd (4) taking out the new sample point and repeating the steps (9) to (14). Otherwise, the weak star mode is turned on to capture the D1 signal.
(15) When V isBThe amount of buffered data reaches 2 × N (T)coh*Tnoncoh+1), the weak star capture mode is turned on. The first step of the weak star mode is still carrier stripping and short-time correlation matched filtering, so the steps (9), (10) and (11) are repeated, after the short-time correlation sum of the corresponding data of 1ms is generated, because the coherent integration time is more than 1ms, the influence of NH code modulation is not negligible, and therefore the correlation sum needs to be stripped by NH codesAnd (5) separating.
(16) Specifically, since the signals used by two adjacent rounds of coherent integration are discontinuous in time and are all located at fixed phases in the D1 data period, there is no need to search for the NH code phase by using the method of sliding code starting point, and only the following 8 NH code combinations are used to perform NH code stripping on the correlation sum: {1,1,1,1}, { -1,1,1,1}, {1, -1,1,1}, {1,1, -1,1}, {1,1,1, -1}, { -1, -1,1,1}, {1, -1,1, -1}, {1, -1, -1,1}, and {1 }.
(17) Storing the stripped coherent sum of NH code into a buffer VC。VCThe accumulated data stored in the buffer and NH stripping data output by the next short-time correlation filter are subjected to coherent accumulation operation until the coherent times reach NcohUntil now. The resulting coherent sum is passed to the FFT module.
(18) And (5) repeating the steps (11) to (13) until all the satellites on the searching list complete signal acquisition in a weak satellite mode.
(19) Due to the weak star mode, VBThe time span of the buffer signal is obviously lengthened, and under high dynamic condition, the difference value between the pseudo code phase and Doppler value searched when the signal is successfully captured and the actual code phase and Doppler value when the tracking channel is opened exceeds the loop tracking range with a certain probability. Therefore, a window with the length of 1.5 chips needs to be set to slide the pseudo code phase of the signal by further utilizing the three EPL integral values returned by the baseband. The number of sliding is M, and the value of M is (dT a f)code/fcarrier) 1.5, a is the calculated Doppler Change Rate for the receiver PVT (assuming the receiver is in a position fix state at this time), fcodeFor the pseudo-code frequency of the signal, fcarrierFor the signal carrier frequency, dT ═ Tdump-TstoreThe time span from acquisition to tracking described in step (14).
(20) And after the M times of pseudo code sliding is finished, reading the integral energy values corresponding to the 3 × M different pseudo code phases stored in the buffer, finding the code phase corresponding to the maximum energy, and sliding the signal pseudo code to the position by the configuration baseband. And in the same way, sliding is carried out in the Doppler dimension of the signal, and the real-time Doppler frequency of the signal is found according to the returned integral energy value. After the code phase and the Doppler are reconfigured, the signal is successfully switched to the tracking state.
The invention provides a high-dynamic high-sensitivity Beidou D1 signal capturing method, which comprises the steps of firstly removing direct current components of intermediate frequency signals transmitted by a radio frequency chip ADC (analog to digital converter) as shown in figure 1, and preventing signal sample distribution from being influenced to interfere with a decision threshold of a subsequent quantization circuit. After several stages of filters and samplers, the effective bit width of the digital signal will gradually accumulate and need to be re-quantized to 2 bits through Automatic Gain Control (AGC). And accumulating and counting MAG bits by AGC logic, calculating proportional distribution in corresponding time of AGC, and generating a feedback signal to reduce PGA gain if the proportional distribution exceeds 17% and the gain is too large under the characteristic that intermediate frequency signals removed by direct current are in Gaussian distribution, otherwise, increasing the PGA gain if the proportional distribution is less than 17%.

A half-band filter is a special FIR filter with an even number of orders and an odd length. Except for the intermediate value of 0.5, the coefficients of the filter are all 0 in the other even numbered coefficients (so that multiplication and addition operations during filtering are greatly saved).
Taking the beidou B1I signal as an example, the filter parameters are designed according to the effective signal bandwidth as shown in table 2.

The related matched filtering adopted by the method is a linear filter with the maximum ratio of the instantaneous power of the signal to the average power of the noise under the white noise condition, and the related matched filtering is an optimal filter. The transfer function of the matched filter is the conjugate of the signal spectrum, so the matched filter must be perfectly matched to the spectrum of the input signal, and assuming that the sample sequence of the input signal is represented by s (n), the output of the matched filter can be represented as:
Figure BDA0003532449560000091
in order to ensure that the accumulated sample point sequence still contains frequency information, the sequence stripped by the pseudo code is only accumulated in a segmented mode, and therefore the partial accumulated sum can be subjected to spectrum analysis through FFT. Consider the big dipper intermediate frequency data sampling sequence of 1ms length, can record as:
Figure BDA0003532449560000092
wherein T issFor the sampling interval, C is a pseudo-random code, omegaIFIs the intermediate frequency carrier frequency and is the initial phase. The value of M is 0 to N-1, which means that the number of samples in 1ms is N, and the navigation message bit item is ignored because no navigation message bit jumps in one pseudo random code period. Each short correlation integral has a length of M samples, here TpThe duration of the short-time correlation is represented, and the output of the ith short-time correlation accumulation is:
Figure BDA0003532449560000093
Figure BDA0003532449560000094
the result of the short-time correlation is a sampling interval of TpOf (a) a sequence of numbers In-jQnN ═ 1., L }, where L samples are present in the entire period, and the sequence is FFT transformed, the result is:
Figure BDA0003532449560000095
in the strong star mode, the data length corresponding to one FFT is 1ms, assuming that L is generated by short-time correlation matched filtering and is equal to 8 partial sums, and the number of signal points is increased to 16 by 0-complementing operation (i.e. the signal period is lengthened to 2ms), the fundamental frequency of FFT is changed
Figure BDA0003532449560000096
I.e. the acquisition resolution in the carrier doppler dimension is 500Hz and the step size is ω × L4000 Hz. In the weak star mode, coherent integration is performed on the partial sum generated by the short-time correlation matched filtering, L partial sums after further accumulation are obtained every 4ms, and then the partial sums are sent to the FFT module. Because coherent integration only folds the same phase of sampling points in the code period, the frequency resolution and step length at this time are both consistent with those in the strong star mode.
Finally, the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit the present invention, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions, and all of them should be covered by the claims of the present invention.
