摘要

摘要:
飞机通信寻址与报告系统(ACARS)允许飞机和地面站之间发送和接收报文，在保障飞行安全、实现空中交通管制等方面具有重要意义。通信链路的噪声和频偏是影响ACARS信号接收性能的关键因素。针对ACARS信号接收过程中的失真等问题，深入研究频偏、噪声等因素与ACARS报文接收性能之间的关系；在充分考虑噪声与多普勒频移等因素的基础上，提出基于过零点斜率加窗解调的ACARS信号接收方法，并从理论和仿真分析2方面探讨不同方法的抗频偏抗噪声能力；设计并搭建基于软件无线电平台的ACARS信号接收系统。通过对ACARS报文接收性能的仿真分析和真实报文接收性能的对比分析，表明所提方法在提升抗噪声和频偏能力、降低误码率等方面均具有优势。

Abstract:
The aircraft communication addressing and reporting system (ACARS) is a digital communication system that allows messages to be sent and received between aircraft and ground stations. It is important for ground-to-air data links, flight safety, and air traffic control. The noise and frequency offset of the communication link are the key factors that affect the performance of ACARS signal reception. Aiming at the distortion in the ACARS signal receiving process, this paper deeply studies the relationship between the frequency offset, environmental noise and other factors and the ACARS message receiving performance. An ACARS signal receiving method based on zero-crossing slope window demodulation is proposed, and the anti-frequency offset resistance of various methods is discussed from the two aspects of theory and simulation analysis. This is based on fully accounting for factors like noise and Doppler frequency shift.This article uses the USRP architecture to design and construct an ACARS reception system based on the software radio platform.Through the simulation analysis of the ACARS message reception performance and the comparison analysis of the real message reception performance, the proposed demodulation method has advantages in improving the anti-noise and frequency offset ability and reducing the bit error rate.
