SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main techniques of the present invention include how to estimate the far-end oscillator relative to the reference master clock using GPS carrier phase quadratic differential operation. The frequency deviation and the design of the proportional differential controller are described as follows: The mathematical model of GPS carrier phase GPS carrier phase is (5·ι): ^A^PJA+c<dtJ-dTA) + m^ Dln+di〇p+si (5.1) its :

Obviously, if the GPS satellite has no relative motion with the user receiver and the oscillator frequency is consistent with each other, the receiver The phase of the observed carrier should be zero. However, there is always relative motion between the satellite and the user receiver, and it is derived from satellites, the atmosphere, receivers, and poor observation environments. Shaw contributes errors and deviations. The Doppler shift effect is produced. Furthermore, the oscillator frequency of the receiver 舆 satellite is obviously not consistent. The carrier phase far-end frequency synchronization system needs to make the FSB behavior appear in the GPS original observation, and estimate the frequency deviation value of the far-end vibrator relative to the reference master clock through the carrier phase (Frequeney). From the heart of the receiver, a manual knife is used: the remote oscillation s(10) her eloek) and the reference master clock (5) yan yet) respectively replace the quartz oscillator frequency inside the original GPS receiver, for positioning navigation, or even geographic coordinates Point quantity ^ jϋ, the focus of attention is on the accuracy of the positioning point, so (5

The delay effect caused by the atmosphere in (5.2) has been eliminated. This assumes that in the adjacent area, the atmospheric environment of the two base stations has a good correlation. Moreover, since (7)^ and both are in Gps time Reference, so the difference can be regarded as the phase difference between the far-end vibrator frequency and the reference master clock frequency, as shown in Figure 1. In addition, it is assumed that the satellite signal can be received continuously and without interruption, and there is no cycle. When the situation of the slips (Cycleslip) occurs, the ΛΛ/^ term of the (5·2) equation remains unchanged. Therefore, the (5·2) equation can be further differentiated with respect to different observation times to obtain the carrier phase time. The difference model is: = SApJAB - cSAdT^ + SAsjab (5,3) where 5 represents the difference operation with respect to different observation times. After the carrier phase primary differential and time difference operation, the errors and deviations from the satellite, the atmosphere and the receiver itself have been greatly eliminated, so the frequency relationship between the remote oscillator and the reference master can be accurately determined. The (5·3) formula can be further expressed as: - SApJAB = -cSAdTAB + SAsjab (5.4) The (5 · 4) equation is known to the left of the equal sign, mainly based on the application of time-frequency 8 1274175 Wei Weijing Sadly, therefore, the receiver antenna coordinate points have been known in advance by accurate measurement, so the term is obviously known, and must be the actual observation of the carrier phase ϊ m, the receiver a line coordinates of all experiments of the present invention are via The IGS measures the accuracy to be within a few centimeters, with weighted average, and the satellite elevation (Elevation) and signal-to-noise ratio (signal t〇N〇ise)—where ί Γ+Γ It can be accurately estimated. It can be known from the definition of frequency accuracy that the sense (5) is the phase difference between the far-end oscillator frequency and the reference master clock frequency, so the frequency deviation value at the observation time interval r is: 5.5) yr〇一τ

For the implementation of the reference station, the frequency of the original 铯 atomic clock 〇3 is first converted to 20 ΜΗζ by the qing 12, providing the GPS receiver 〇 2 to become its base frequency space, regardless of the GPS antenna G1 of the reference station or the remote station. , all must be placed in the field of view to facilitate the observation station of the satellite PC 05 in addition to the GPS receiver 'and its coordinate point needs to be measured in advance, the surface is connected to 04, the carrier phase observation data is sent to the remote station PC 〇7 to RS -232 serial communication GPS navigation message is included, and will be referenced to the station, through the wired or wireless communication network 〇6 instant transmission, as for the implementation of the remote station, first OCXO 11 frequency 12 1274175 rate 'through DDS 12 Converted to 2〇46〇mhz, providing GPS receiver 〇2 becomes its fundamental frequency, PC of the remote station 〇7 is mainly used to collect and receive GPS information from the reference station, mainly to estimate the frequency deviation. 〇8 and PD controller 〇9, that is, using the carrier phase quadratic difference operation to estimate and measure the frequency deviation of the remote oscillator relative to the reference master clock, refer to the deviation amount and its variable with respect to time The PD controller outputs an actuation signal, and the digital/analog converter 10 adjusts the remote oscillator u to synchronize with the reference master clock B 〇 3' to achieve high-precision frequency synchronization. In order to understand the potential of the present invention for frequency synchronization applications, the inventors used a hydrogen micro-emission (H-maser) atomic clock to input a common frequency signal to two GPS receivers, and evaluated the frequency stability of the system with a short baseline structure. It shows extremely high frequency stability in both short-term and long-term; stability is equal to 1><1〇_11 in measuring time interval r equal to 1 second; and frequency _ stability is as high as 2x10+ in one day The result is shown in Figure 4. In addition, in order to compare the performance, the inventor used a high-precision time interval counter (model SRS_62〇) to measure the uncontrolled adjustment - the remote oscillator frequency (OCXO) relative to the national laboratory reference mother The phase difference of the clock frequency and rate, a linear regression (UneaiMeast-squarefit) operation of about one day of measurement data, the estimated frequency accuracy (fork _δγΑ) is about 2·23χ10-9, as shown in Figure 5. Furthermore, the inventor chose a high-quality traditional GPSDO to test its performance in the same way. The result shows that the frequency accuracy of a 13 1274175 day is about 3xl〇-13, as shown in Figure 6. It can be understood from the above results that the OCXO that has not undergone control adjustment, its frequency quality is not stable in the short or long term, so it cannot meet the demand of high precision; as for the traditional GPSDO, the single-machine observation GPS code reaches the oscillator training. The purpose, although with a high degree of long-term stability, is not ideal for short-term stability. As for the high-precision frequency synchronization system using the GPS signal provided by the present invention, in the experiment where the two base station antennas are separated by several tens of meters, the remote oscillator frequency can be automatically adjusted to be synchronized with the reference master clock, and the SRS- is also utilized. The 620 time interval counter measures the phase difference of the far-end oscillator frequency relative to the national laboratory reference master clock frequency, and the result obtained by the PD controller is about one day as shown in FIG. Performing a linear regression operation on the phase measurement data, the estimated frequency accuracy of the remote oscillator is about 3χ10_14, that is, the present invention can improve the remote oscillator with an original frequency accuracy of about 2.23x10-9. Performance is at least 4 _ orders of magnitude (10,000 times). The phase measurement data described above, including the uncontrolled OCXO, GPSDO, and the controlled OCXO, are analyzed for frequency stability using the modified Aaron variance (MDEV(t)). The results are shown in Figure 8. It can be clearly seen from Figure 8 that the uncontrolled OCXO is not stable; although GPSDO can have good long-term performance, its short-term (r = l~50s) and mid-term (r = 50~10000^) performance are not the same. It is ideal; in contrast, the OCXO (OCXO-C) adjusted by the control of the present invention 14 1274175 has a relatively high stability in both short-term and long-term, and its stability is even close to the general-quality planing atomic clock. [Features and Efficacy] The present invention proposes a high-precision frequency synchronization system using GPS signals to have the following advantages: 1. Using GPS carrier phase quadratic differential operation, it is possible to accurately estimate the far-end oscillator to be relative to the reference master clock. The frequency deviation amount, referring to the deviation amount, the PD controller outputs a coincidence signal, and controls the remote oscillator through the D/A converter. The experimental results show that the general quality: 0CX0 can greatly improve the performance. Up to 4 orders of magnitude (10000 times). '2· The present invention can greatly improve the performance of the quartz oscillator, and even comparable to the atomic clock of a general quality, thus meeting the high precision requirements. 3. The present invention utilizes GPS carrier phase quadratic differential view measurement to estimate the frequency offset amount, which not only has high precision but also saves cost. 4. In addition to the reference clock and the controlled remote oscillator, the present invention is easily replaced by inexpensive, small-sized components such as inexpensive Gps modules, microcomputers (MCUs), and high-resolution digital/analog conversion.曰• 和霞 wafers, etc., the cost will have the opportunity to fall in the number of units, = see the practicality and competitive advantage of the present invention.
