Research on Continuous Signal Mask Separation in Satellite Communication

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid development of communication technology, satellite communication has been very popular in our life. However, due to the openness of satellite communication channel, the communication security has been a hot topic. The large signal masking technology is a potential solution to improve the safety of satellite communications in recent years. To achieve this technique, an efficient and reliable signal separation method must be supplemented at the receiver. Based on existing methods, there are problems of low accuracy of parameter estimation and complex estimation process. The improved scheme introduces the Amplitude and Phase Estimation(APES) based parameter estimation procedure, and proposes a new scheme consisting of APES algorithm, Costas loop and Least Mean Square (LMS) adaptive filter. Compared with existing methods, the simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve mask signal separation successfully, and can achieve better separation performance.
