  • 摘要: 在空间激光通信、组网过程中,为了能够实现一颗卫星终端对多颗卫星终端的物理光束接入,从而使得一颗卫星能与多颗卫星实现数据分发、路由、交换等组网功能,对卫星激光通信捕跟过程中存在的多终端物理接入方法进行了研究。在基于液晶光学相控阵多波束生成能力和多波束赋形的理论基础上,设计了一种新型的多终端接入方法。该方法的核心是利用液晶光学相控阵的多波束生成与控制能力实现对多个终端的接入。对光束在远场光斑的位置信息以及接入过程中的衍射效率和能量损耗情况进行仿真来验证该方案是否满足空间激光通信终端接入要求。仿真结果发现接入过程中的衍射效率大于80%,能量损耗小于1 dB,表明该方案有效可行。

     

    Abstract: In the process of space laser communication and networking, in order to achieve a satellite terminal for the physical beam access to a plurality of satellite terminals, thereby enabling a satellite to achieve data distribution, routing, switching and other networking functions with multiple satellites, the multi-user physical access method in the process of satellite laser communication acquisition and tracking was studied. Based on the theory of multi-beam forming ability and multi-beam forming of liquid crystal optical phased array, a new type of multi-user access method was designed. The core of this method was to realize the access to multiple terminals by using multi-beam generation and control ability of liquid crystal optical phased array. The position information of the beam in the far field and the diffraction efficiency and energy loss during the process were simulated to verify whether the scheme met the requirements of the space laser communication terminal. The simulation results show that the diffraction efficiency of the access process is greater than 80%, energy loss less than 1 dB, the results display that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
