7、om the doppler phenomena between the transmitted and received carrier. while all the processes mentioned above are finished on the ground of high resolution carrier tracking, and the phase lock loop is the common used method to implement it in tt&c system. as the space electromagnetism environme

8、nt become more and more complicated, the capability of anti-jamming is required by the future tt&c system 1j. so we consider using the hybrid ds/fhss (direct sequence/frequency hopping spread spectrum) technology to build a more robust tt&c system.for many ordinary hybrid ds/fhss communicati

9、on systems, the most important function is demodulating data but not measuring, so it is not necessary to measure the carrier frequency precisely. however, in hybrid ds/fhss tt&c system, measuring and tracking the earner precisely is the foundation of system, so some special problem needs to be

10、solved. in the hybrid ds/fhss tt&c system, even the received signal has been dehopped by the pattern synchronization module, due to the doppler effect and carrier frequency hopping, the input frequency of tracking loop contains frequency agility severely. as a result, the loop is likely to shift

11、 to the frequency step responses state again and again, and it seems to be impossible for fi-equency measurement and carrier tracking. the paper is organized as follows. in section i, the frequency hopping pattern synchronization module in the ds/fhss tt&c system is introduced. in section ii, we

12、 analyze how the carrier frequency hopping influences the performance of the carrier tracking loop in section iii, a carrier tracking loop aided by frequency hopping pattern and current spacecraft velocity is proposed in section iv, a simulation mode on the ground of actual requirement of tt&c s

13、ystem is built and the results of simulation show that this method is very simple and effective for ds/fhss tt&c system. finally, some conclusions are drawn in section v.ii. input signal of carrier tracking loopas the traditional tt&c and communication system, the input signal of carrier tra

14、cking loop must be a monotonous intermediate frequency signal, so the received rf signal should be dehopped by the frequency hopping patternsynchronization module. in fh communication system, the signal during a hop dwell time is a narrowband signal and the general power detector is commonly used to

15、 detect the frequency hopping signal 2. but in the hybrid ds/fhss tt&c system, the signal is submerged in the noise, it is impossible to acquire signal directly by power detector such as fh communication system. however, the signal during a hop dwell time in the system just is a direct sequence

16、spread spectrum signal, so we can acquire it based on the acquisition of direct sequence spread spectrum signal. the acquisition methods, such as serial-search acquisition, parallel acquisition and rapid acquisition based on fft have been discussed in a lot of papers 3-5, so we won% discuss the prob

17、lem detailedly in this paper. in our system, since one hop dwell time is very short, the rapid acquisition based on fft which can extract the phase delay and carrier frequency at one time will be the best way for acquisition. the scheme of the frequency hopping patters acquisition, i.e., coarse sync

19、ncy. at the beginning, the link switch is on the location 1, and the output signal of local frequency synthesizer with higher hop speed than the received one is mixed with the received signal. then, via the band pass filter, the output signal of mixer is fed into the acquisition module of pn code an

20、d carrier. if the output of correlator in acquisition module is less than the preset threshold, the direct sequence spread spectrum signal is not acquired during this hop dwell time and the local frequency synthesizer steps the next fiequency. by contrast, if detection variable of acquisition module

21、 is more than the preset threshold, it means that the frequency hopping signal is acquired and the mixer outputs a stable district spread spectrum signal. after that, the switch is on the location 2 and the local frequency synthesizer will timely change the output frequency according to the frequenc

22、y hopping pattern. after the coarse synchronization mentioned above, the ds/fhss signal have being dehopped is fed to pn code tracking loop and a fine alignment between the received pn code and local pn code is achieved by a code tracking loop namely the delay-locked loop. then, the output of code t

23、racking loop, i.e., a duplicate of received pn code, is mixed to the if direct sequence spread spectrum signal dehopped by coarse synchronization, and a monotonous intermediate frequency narrowband signal which will be fed to carrier tracking loop is obtainediii. characteristic of ds/fhss carrier tr

24、ackingloopcompared with the carrier tracking loop in ordinary communication system, because of the high dynamic of the spacecraft, especially during the landing, accelerating and decelerating, the carrier tracking loop of hybrid ds/fhss tt&c system will be influenced more severely by the doppler

25、 effect (up to lookhz). addition to that, a doppler frequency agility resulted from the carrier frequency hopping won't be eliminated by dehopping the frequency hopping carrier, and which becomes the main factor influencing the performance of carrier tracking loop in ds/fhss tt&c system. the

26、 frequency of downlink signal of ds/fhss tt&c system may be described as:/(/) = /o (j) + fd(0 = /o q) + - /o (0v(dcwhere i is the sequence number of carrier frequency, /0(z)is the ith carrier frequency , is the doppler frequency offset during the ith hop dwell time and v(z) is the current speed

27、of spacecraft. we can assume that the synchronization of frequency hopping pattern has been completed, and the output frequency of local frequency synthesizer is flo (z) = fo (z) - /a (/) , where fa(i) is the frequency difference between the received and local frequency, i.e., the intermediate frequ

28、ency of input signal of carrier tracking loop passing a if band pass filter, a if signal, the frequency of which is 仏(7), is obtainedaccording to the relation among the velocity, carrier frequency and doppler frequency offset, the input frequency of carrier tracking loop is derived easily as follow:

29、九=a(0 + flt(0 = a + -/o (ovg)cthen, between the interval of the ith frequency and the (i+i)th frequency, thedoppler frequency agility (z) is generated, and can be expressed as:cgenerally speaking, we assume that the velocity of spacecraft during two adjacent frequency won't change, i.e. v(z +1)

30、= v(z), so(i) = v(z) f ,w (i), whichcshows that the frequency agility is a function of the frequency difference of two adjacent hop and the current speed of spacecraft.then, the input signal of the carrier tracking loop can be expressed as: 1 8$(/) = 42pr(t) sin2時屛 + 2對“屛 + 2兀一工 v(h)/a0(n)p(t 一 nt +

31、 b) + 刃 + n(t)where p is the carrier power after the synchronization of frequency hopping pattern, r(t) is the modulated data, /a is the intermediate frequency, fd and t are the rudimental frequency offset and rudimental phase offset brought from acquisition module respective. 0 < z < 1, p(t)

32、= 1;otherwise p(t) = 0, t is one hop dwell time, g is the timing error of the synchronization of frequency hopping patterns, n(t) is the wadd讓ive white gaussian noise w讓h two-side power spectral density w/hz and c is the velocity of light.the tracking resolution is the basic description of the loop

33、performance, and we can obtain it by the error transfer function as follow:0()($)0($)s + kf(s)where, f(s) is the transfer function of loop filter, k is the gain of open loop- then we can apply the limit theorem, which is expressed as (oo) = s&,to5 ->0derive the steady-state tracking error. un

34、fortunately, the derivation of laplacian transfer of w is seen to be impossible, so we can't calculate the measuring error precisely and only analyze it by simulation for the 2edorder loop, the acquisition time can be expressed as:where, coq is the initial frequency offset, con and g are the nat

35、ural frequencyand damping factor of the tracking loop. in the hybrid ds/fhss tt&c system, just is the frequency agility which is a function of time according to the frequency hopping pattern. thereby, three cases are discussedcase 1: tp<tc , i.e., hop dwell time is more than the loop acquisit

36、ion time.the carrier tracking loop is able to acquire and track the ds/fhss tt&c signal, but shift the unlock state immediately when the next frequency signal is fed to the loop. the loop steps to lock, unlock, re-lock, re-unlock state repeatedly for all time, and the doppler offset can't be

37、 extracted accurately.case 2: tp>tc, ie, hop dwell time is less than the loop acquisition time. during the acquisition state of loop, the frequency of input signal is likely to step up suddenly, and then the loop steps to the acquisition state once again. for the case, the tracking loop will step

38、 to acquisition state again and again for all time.case 3: for the non-ideal 2ed or high-degree order loop, the acquisition band cop is limited, and the hopping frequency agil讓y fm (i) also influences the performance of loop. when (z) <cop , the conclusion is same as the analysis mentioned above,

39、 and when (/) >, the tracking loop worft locked the signalforeve r.the simulation result of 2ed order tracking loop used commonly in tt&c fieldis shown in fig 2 the doppler agility is plotted by broken line and the time response is denoted by real line. fig. 2(a) shows the tracking performanc

40、e without doppler offset agility; the time response as tp<tc is described in fig. 2(b), the loop state is alternating between locked and unlocked in fig. 2(c)，the loop is acquiring signal forever. because the frequency is changed before stepping to the locked state, the loop wont acquire any sign

41、al at all time. in fig 2(d), when (z) > cop, the trackingcapability of the loop is invalid entirely.figure 2. time response of tracking loop with doppler offset agility:(a) no hopping, (b) tp<tc , (c) tp>tc ,(d)人叫iv. the scheme of carrier tracking loop aided byhopping patternthe structure o

42、f the carrier track loop aided by the hopping frequency pattern is shown in fig 3. generally speaking, we can assume that the velocity during the interval time between two adjacent frequency will keep a fixed value, then the doppler frequency offset 心 in the next frequency interval can be calculated

43、 by the current velocity of spacecraft combined with carrier frequency. the® is added timely to the adjustment value of the carrier nco when the new frequency signal is fed to the loop. so the output frequency of nco also changes synchronal as the frequency changing of input signal, and the loo

44、p keeps stable. deserve to mentioned, before the loop stepped to steady state, the spacecraft velocity used by the scheme is given from the acquisition module. after having being locked state, then the velocity should be extracted from the loop itself directly. by this way, the loop is able to keep

45、stable even on the high dynamic condition.figure 3 carrier tracking loop aided by frequency hopping patternbesides the thermal noise jitter, the main error of carrier tracking loop aided by the frequency hopping pattern is the frequency jitter of the frequency synthesizer and timing error due to fre

46、quency pattern synchronization. the former one depends on the resolution of frequency synthesizer as other communication and we only discuss the latter one. briefly, when the local frequency changing of the local frequency synthesizer is advanced or retarded to the one of receive signal, the aiding

47、module will provide a frequency offset to the carrier nco at the wrong time and the loop will step to the unlocked state at once, i.e., response of frequency step. fortunately, when the frequency of input signal changes actually, the loop will return to the steady state rapidly. but as the increase

48、of synchronization error, it also be likely to become too severe to meet the resolution requirement of the tt&c system.v. simulatiomthe model of carrier tracking loop of hybrid ds/fhss system is shown in fig 3, which is built in the simulink of matlab the tracking loop is the standard costas loo

49、p commonly used in the tt&c field, which is able to eliminate the inference resulted form the polarity change of the modulated data 9. to adapt the doppler frequency change due to the spacecraft movement, the loop is designed as a 2ed order loop, and the loop filter is a 1st order filter. the si

53、. when the spacecraft is on the uniformly accelerated motion (the initial speed is 7.9km/s, and speed accelerator is 30g), the time response is shown in fig 5. the same conclusion is obtained as pre-paragraph.1 1d ag :a mscl：u似u.33co35go二 x ac二1 丿11"1"tiz ti111itc:-r- -r -"i" 1 -
