The invention relates to the technical field of high-order APSK
carrier synchronization, in particular to a phase tracking method of a low-earth-
orbit satellite MAPSK communication
system. Two phase discriminators are adopted, a
loop filter with variable parameters is introduced, and the
carrier recovery process is divided into coarse synchronization and fine synchronization; firstly, amplitude judgment is carried out on an MAPSK modulated
signal, coarse synchronization is carried out on four
constellation points with high
signal-to-
noise ratio on an excircle by using a polarity judgment
algorithm of a simplified
constellation, and at the moment, the bandwidth of a
loop filter is relatively large, so that large
frequency offset can be quickly captured; if the state controller finds that the
loop filter is in a locked state by detecting the loop
phase error, the loop filter is unlocked, it shows that the coarse synchronization is finished, the
carrier recovery circuit is switched to thefine synchronization,
phase discrimination is carried out on all
constellation points by using a decision guide
algorithm, and the loop filtering achieves the purpose of stable tracking through a small-bandwidth mode, thereby effectively improving the performance of the low-
orbit satellite high-order APSK communication
system.
