摘要:

针对多波束移动通信卫星业务不均衡导致功放工作点不一致、功率利用率低等问题,首次提出数模混合自适应功率分配(adaptive power allocation algorithm based on digital and analog hybrid system,APA-DAH)方法。该方法实现了在卫星载荷发射总功率不变情况下,根据通信业务量自适应分配各波束的发射功率,并且所有功放的工作点基本一致,保证通信波束性能的同时极大提高了卫星载荷的功率利用率。针对APA-DAH多波束移动通信卫星载荷要求每个通道的幅度和相位分布完全一致,否则系统性能急剧下降问题,提出了适用于APA-DAH多波束移动通信的幅相一致性校准方法,该方法利用零相关序列具有优异的自相关和互相关特性,实现多通道快速校准,并且校准不影响正常通信性能。性能仿真和远场测试结果表明:在校准信号功率比通信信号功率低15 dB时,校准后的幅相一致性误差分别优于0.1 dB和0.3°,实测主瓣内增益损失小于0.35 dB。

Abstract:

In order to improve the power utilization and ensure amplifier operating points consistency, an adaptive power allocation algorithm based on digital and analog hybrid system (APA-DAH) is proposed in this paper, which ensures each amplifier works at the same operating points and assigns each beam power adaptively according to the communication traffic. The power utilization ratio of satellite payload has been improved greatly by the APA-DAH.The amplitude and phase distribution of each channel in APA-DAH should be completely identical, otherwise the performance would be impaired severely for the mutual coupling among signals. An amplitude and phase consistency error calibration algorithm is proposed.The decoupling of calibration signals is realized by using the crosscorrelation orthogonal characteristic of the orthogonal zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequences in the zero correlation interval , and the normal communication performance is not affected by calibration by reducing the transmit power for the excellent self-correlation characteristic of the ZCZ sequences.Performance simulation and far field test show that under the condition that the calibration signal power is less than the normal signal 15 dB, the amplitude error is better than 0.1 dB, the phase error is better than 0.3 degree, and the gain loss within the main lobe is less than 0.35 dB after calibration.
