The On-line Calibration Technology of System Delay Based on Dynamic Delay Cancellation for Generalized TT&C Channel Simulator

An on-line system delay calibration method based on dynamic cancellation for generalized high-precision Tracking, telemetry and command (TT&C) channel simulator is proposed. This method manages to estimate the time-varying system delay in real time through the coupling signal of input signal and simulated output signal, and then modifies the simulated parameters by the estimated value. With this method, it effectively avoids the effect of time-varying system delay caused by temperature drift, aging of components and other factors on high precision simulation. In this paper, the dynamic cancellation technology, which is the kernel and foundation of this method, is presented to eliminate the simulated motion law between the input signal and output signal. The time delay estimation method based on cross correlation and area barycenter arithmetic is introduced to estimate the time-varying system delay. The simulation results show the validity and high-precision performance.
