Multi-antenna space-based AIC receiver

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-antenna space-based AIC receiver, and the receiver comprises an antenna array, a radio frequency front end, and a digital processing unit. The antenna array comprises a plurality of monopole antennas, and receives an AIS signal of a marine ship. The radio frequency front end comprises a plurality of radio frequency receiving channels, and completes the amplification filtering and frequency conversion of a radio frequency signal. The digital processing unit employs a blind separation and differential demodulation method to complete the separation and demodulation of multi-time-slot collision signals. The receiver is advantageous in that the number of multi-time-slot collision signals is large; the demodulation method is simple; the receiver can effectively monitor a high-ship-density sea area; the receiver exerts no special requirements for the array shape and aperture, and is especially suitable for a small-satellite platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of satellite communication, in particular to a multi-antenna space-based AIS receiver. Background technique [0002] Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a maritime traffic control system vigorously promoted by the International Maritime Organization in recent years. However, the ground propagation of AIS signals is limited by the line of sight (typical communication distance is about 20 nautical miles), and the ground cannot achieve large-scale and long-distance reception. However, the satellite covers a wide area, which can realize long-distance AIS signal reception and grasp the information of large-scale sea areas and even global regions. Maritime traffic situation. [0003] Due to the characteristics of high-speed movement and large-scale observation of satellites, the reception and processing of AIS signals for space-based observations is very different from that of ground-based ship-borne and shore-based r...
