TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of anti-jamming for navigation signal receivers, and in particular to an anti-jamming processing architecture based on a dual-component fusion application of a satellite navigation signal.

BACKGROUND

Among the payloads of the Beidou satellite, the upload receiver receives radio frequency (RF) signals from ground stations. Unintentional jamming in the complex electromagnetic environment of space seriously affects the reception, amplification, frequency conversion, and demodulation of ground uplink signals. Time-domain anti-jamming is widely used in spaceborne receivers due to its simple implementation, and it can effectively suppress unintentional jamming from electromagnetic space. The main problems in spaceborne time-domain anti-jamming are insufficient jamming suppression capability and the introduction of ranging deviation, which seriously affect the ranging and solving of the upload receiver.

The current research on anti-jamming performance and measurement calibration is usually independent of each other. The navigation receiver performs message demodulation and ranging processing only on the data component, resulting in the waste of the pilot component. High-precision time-domain anti-jamming algorithms avoid peak distortion by sacrificing convergence performance, but the high-performance anti-jamming usually does not consider the impact of time-domain anti-jamming on measurement accuracy. Therefore, existing algorithms cannot avoid the contradiction between anti-jamming performance and ranging accuracy.

In the above anti-jamming processing architecture based on a dual-component fusion application of a satellite navigation signal, as shown in FIG. 1, firstly, the receiver matched reception module separates the navigation signal to obtain the data component and the pilot component.

• • where, α and β denote step size control parameters; e(n) denotes an error signal; s_data(n) denotes the navigation signal; y_data(n) denotes the time-domain anti-jamming data component; and ∥ ∥² denotes an l2 norm.

In a specific embodiment, the data channel includes a navigation message, which is the only navigation signal component that can achieve message demodulation. Therefore, high-performance anti-jamming is applied to the data channel. The filtering weight vector recursive formula is designed to continuously update the filtering weight vector and achieve high accuracy of the message signal.

In an embodiment, the received pilot component is:

$x_{\mathrm{pilot}}\left(n\right)={\left[x_{\mathrm{pilot}}\left(n\right),x_{\mathrm{pilot}}\left(n-1\right),\dots ,x_{\mathrm{pilot}}\left(n-N+1\right)\right]}^T;$

• • where, μ denotes an anti-jamming convergence step size; and *, a superscript, denotes conjugation taking.

In a specific embodiment, the pilot channel only includes a ranging code.

The filter weight update formula is designed to continuously update the filter weight, achieving high-precision measurement of pseudorange and code phase.

The present disclosure further conducted a simulation experiment based on the following parameters: simulation data carrier-to-noise ratio of 40 dB·Hz, jamming bandwidth of 0.5-2 MHZ, and signal-to-noise ratio of 30-60 dB. As shown in FIG. 2, the experimental results indicate that high-performance anti-jamming is achieved for the data channel, with a maximum carrier-to-noise ratio loss of approximately 3 dB·Hz, achieving high-performance anti-jamming for the data component.

An S-curve deviation of the anti-jamming output result is plotted, which represents the ranging deviation. As shown in FIG. 3, the experimental results indicate that high-precision anti-jamming is achieved for the pilot channel. The measurement deviation of the pilot channel data always remains within 0.5 ns, and most of it remains within 0.3 ns, achieving high-precision anti-jamming of the pilot component.
