Latest ArticlesThe traditional satellite navigation antijamming high-precision algorithm is only suitable for processing stable interference signals, which is difficult to adapt to the multiple disordered pulsed flicker interferences environment. Based on the idea of interference covariance matrix reconstruction, this paper proposes a new highprecision antiinterference algorithm that is suitable for multiple flicker interferences environment and carries out simulation analysis. Firstly, the direction of interferences is calculated by using compress sensing with one snapshot. Secondly, the interference plus noise covariance matrix is reconstructed. Thirdly, antenna array beamforming with one snapshot is realized by using an adaptive beam constraint algorithm. Finally, the new algorithm forms nulls in the direction of interferences and forms a beam in the direction of satellite navigation signals. Compared with the traditional algorithm, the new algorithm calculates antiinterference weight with only one snapshot and is suitable for fast timevarying multiple flicker interferences environment. The simulation results show that the new algorithm can effectively reduce multiple flicker interferences and maintain a beam in the direction of satellite navigation signals to ensure the observation accuracy meets the requirements of highprecision satellite navigation.
Top hypersonic aerodynamic heat simulation technology is one of the important supports for improving the heat protection capability of antennas. To further shorten the development cycle and save costs, this article proposes an engineering algorithm that uses cold wall heat flux and wall surface recovery enthalpy as input conditions, and utilizes MATLAB and CFD joint iterative rapid solution method to quickly solve the antenna temperature field in high-speed airflow. After confirming the high consistency between simulation results and experimental data through aerodynamic heat tests, this simulation method was used to perform heat insulation optimization design for an antenna with a high-speed aerodynamic heating duration of 500 seconds. Based on the primary and secondary factors identified through simulation that cause temperature rise of the core device, targeted improvement measures were proposed. The final target printed circuit board temperature was reduced from 320 ℃ to 142 ℃ with significant thermal control effects.
The sum and difference channels of Kaband dual channel telemetry equipment have phase differences, which can vary with environmental changes. Phase correction is required at the baseband terminal to achieve phase difference correction and ultimately achieve autonomous tracking of the target. In the shooting range, baseband phase calibration was usually achieved by setting up calibration rods, which can achieve the purpose of phase calibration. However, with the expansion of telemetry equipment in the field of combat, it has expanded to areas such as deep sea and plateau. Due to the various limitations of these special location environments on setting up calibration rods, this article focuses on studying how to achieve the purpose of calibrating the phase zero value of the differential channel, without setting up calibration rods, transmit signals through biased antennas in plateau environments. This article presents the principle and method of rodless calibration based on biased antennas, and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments.
TT&C communication link of sun pointing satellite in sun-synchronous orbit is easy to be interrupted due to the gain pattern interference area of the satellite’s TT&C antennas which are placed in traditional way. In order to reduce this kind of communication link interruption, the antennas’ placement on the satellite should be optimized by taking advantage of the characteristic that the orbital plane of the sun-synchronous orbit and the solar vector maintain a relatively fixed. In this paper, the concrete realization process of TT&C antennas’ placement for sun pointing satellite in sun-synchronous orbit is given through a simulation example, and the recommended installation angle of the TT&C antennas for sun pointing satellites in different sun-synchronous orbit are also provided as a reference.
Addressing the airsea information collaboration and sharing requirements for UAVs in distant maritime operations, a dynamic priority-based transmission protocol is proposed for random access. Firstly, this protocol is designed to ensure stable telemetry and remote control information transmission within the cluster measurement and control communication adhoc network through efficient cluster networking signaling. Secondly, combines an improved TDMA network timeslot structure for fast node enrollment and dynamic time slot allocation. Finally, an OPNET network simulation is used to analyze the random access, low latency,high throughput, and low end-to-end latency performance of the designed cluster airsea self-organizing network system. The results indicate that the network establishment time under this signaling scheme requires only 2-3 flight control cycles. In a scenario with 32 nodes, the average delay for nodes to complete random Aloha network access is less than 0.6 seconds. Additionally, the improved TDMA protocol reduces end-to-end latency by 1/3 compared to traditional TDMA protocols.
In order to ensure the communication security of users and improve the high latency of traditional solutions in the integrated network of space and ground. In this paper, we propose a lightweight certificateless key agreement scheme. Firstly, we analyze the certificateless key agreement protocol system model. Based on the characteristics of the integrated network of space and ground, it is proposed that the protocol needs to satisfy some security requirements such as two-way authentication, anti-replay, and integrity. Then, we choose a lightweight certificateless encryption scheme. Base on the encryption scheme, we propose a key agreement protocol to meet the resource and security requirements of the integrated network of space and earth. Finally, we prove the proposed key agreement protocol security conducted on the BAN logical analysis, and compare the protocol performance with software simulation. The results show that the solution not only meets the network security requirements, but also provides fast and efficient negotiation.
Phased array calibration is crucial to ensure accurate array beam direction and radiation pattern. The calibration method can be divided into farfield calibration and near-field calibration according to the measurement distance. With the development trend of largescale array antennas, it is increasingly difficult for the anechoic chambers to meet the far-field requirements of array antennas. The applicability of far-field calibration methods gradually weakens, while the demand for nearfield calibration methods gradually increases. This article combs traditional near-field calibration methods and discusses the latest near-field calibration methods. The principles and features of different calibration methods are analyzed and compared, and finally an outlook for future development directions is proposed.
For the quadrotor UAV attitude adjustment process, the existence of parameter uncertainty and external environmental interference often cause certain difficulties to the attitude control. This paper studies and proposes a quadrotor attitude control method based on cascade linear active disturbance rejection. First, the dynamic attitude model of the quadrotor UAV was established, and a cascade PID dualloop control architecture was proposed to decompose the attitude control task into two internal and external loops. The Levant differentiator is used to extract control parameters to enhance tracking capabilities. In addition, the original linear active disturbance rejection controller is optimized to better eliminate the impact of external random disturbances on the system. The MATLAB Simulink environment was used to simulate the proposed control method. The results show that compared with traditional method, this method can better suppress the influence of the system caused by perturbations and enhance the tracking ability of the system to the desired signals, which significantly improves the precision and stability of the attitude adjustment of the quadcopter UAV, and improves the precision and robustness of the attitude control of the quadcopter UAV.
Accurate prediction of ionospheric clutter is of great significance in improving the target detection performance of high-frequency surface wave radar. This paper proposes a short-term prediction model of ionospheric clutter using the Opposite Artificial Rabbits Optimization optimized Gated Recurrent Unit (OARO-GRU) network. Firstly, based on the a priori knowledge that ionospheric clutter received by high-frequency surface wave radar has chaotic characteristics, the input and output sample sets of the GRU network are constructed using the phase space reconstruction technique. Then, two improvement strategies, namely, the opposition-based learning and the Cauchy-based mutation, are incorporated to enhance the optimization capability of the original ARO, which is used to optimizthe GRU network with the values of three hyperparameters including the number of hidden layer nodes, the initial learning rate, and the maximum number of iterations. Finally, the optimized GRU network is retrained and fed into the test sample set for testing. The model is evaluated based on the given evaluation metrics. The experimental results show that compared with the other seven comparison forecast models, the proposed OARO-GRU network model has obvious superiority in prediction accuracy and reliability, and provides a new idea and method for effectively improving the target detection performance of high-frequency surface wave radar.
