Abstract
In future deep space communication missions, VLBI(Very Long Baseline Interferometry) based on antenna array technology remains a critical detection method, which urgently requires the improvement of synthesis performance for antenna array signals. Considering this, focusing on optimizing the traditional antenna grouping method applied in the phase estimation algorithm, this letter proposes a "L/2 to L/2" antenna grouping method based on the maximum correlation signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). Following this idea, a phase difference estimation algorithm named “Couple” is presented. Theoretical analysis and simulation verification illustrate that: when ρ < -10dB, the proposed "Couple" has the highest performance; increasing the number of antennas can significantly improve its synthetic loss performance and robustness. The research of this letter indicates a promising potential in supporting the rising deep space exploration and communication missions.
在未来的深空通信任务中,基于天线阵技术的甚长基线干涉仍然是一种关键的探测手段,迫切需要提高天线阵信号的综合性能。考虑到这一点,本文针对相位估计算法中应用的传统天线分组方法进行了优化,提出了基于最大相关信噪比的“L/2 to L/2”天线分组方法。在此基础上,提出了一种名为“Couple”的相位差估计算法。理论分析和仿真验证表明:当ρ < -10dB时,所提出的“耦合”具有最高性能;增加天线数量可以显著提高其综合损耗性能和鲁棒性。这封信的研究表明,在支持不断上升的深空探索和通信任务方面具有很大的潜力。
