Analysis of the Effect of Antenna Pointing Error Caused by Satellite Perturbation on Space Terahertz Communication
Source abstract
Abstract
The terahertz frequency band has the advantages of having a large bandwidth, narrow beam, strong penetration, and high security, and is an important direction for the frequency expansion of next-generation satellite communications. Due to the narrow terahertz beam, the pointing error caused by satellite perturbation will affect the attenuation of the terahertz wave power, resulting in a decrease in the received power of the system and affecting the communication performance of the system. In order to accurately analyze the influence of pointing error caused by satellite perturbation on the performance of space terahertz communication system, based on satellite perturbation model and Gaussian channel model, this paper deduces the accurate analysis of signal power attenuation model without pointing error and with pointing error untie. The antenna pointing error in the real environment is simulated by using the TLE data of the actual satellite, and the influence of the pointing error on the space terahertz communication is analyzed. The results show that the antenna pointing error caused by satellite perturbation changes periodically with the operation of the satellite, which will cause great signal power attenuation, reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the space terahertz communication system, and seriously affect the communication quality. In addition, the higher the frequency, the greater the impact on space terahertz communication, which needs to be solved through attitude control and antenna compensation.
