Aiming at the problems of limited accuracy of Doppler change rate estimation and small range of Doppler frequency bias estimation of Link-16 datalink signals in high dynamic scenarios, a step-by-step frequency estimation algorithm is proposed based on time-frequency association.The algorithm is divided into two parts:Doppler variation rate estimation and Doppler frequency bias estimation.Firstly,a delayed autocorrelation combined with fast Fourier transform(FFT)is designed at the receiver side based on the characteristics of the guided-frequency signal to realize the accurate estimation of Doppler variation rate.The improved Partial Matched Filter(PMF)combined with Fast Fourier Transform(PMF-FFT)algorithm is used to obtain a coarse estimate of the frequency domain for the compensated signals;subsequently,the time domain estimation algorithm is used to refine the estimate of the compensated signals in order to improve the estimation accuracy.Finally,the two estimates in the frequency domain and time domain are combined to obtain the total estimate of the frequency bias.Simulation results show that the Doppler rate of change estimation method designed in this paper can estimate the value of Doppler rate of change at a lower signal-to-noise ratio;compared with the existing frequency bias estimation algorithms,the frequency bias estimation curve of the frequency bias estimation algorithm designed in this paper is closer to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound(CRLB)in a high dynamic environment,and it can be used in the frequency bias range of -600 kHz to 600 kHz,and the estimation accuracy is up to 10-5 order of magnitude.In addition,the BER curve of the simulated system is close to that of the ideal synchronization case with high reliability.
