Abstract： Deep space communication radio frequency （RF） technology is one of the key technologies for deep space communication. Around the needs of the deep space exploration， this subject has made a significant breakthrough in key areas of low noise temperature RF front-end design as well as multiple antenna arraying techniques to meet the needs of high reliable and efficient data transmission in deep space communication. This project developed a low noise temperature RF front-end with X/Ka band equivalent noise temperature reached 25 K/50 K. It made breakthrough in the key technology of modeling HEMT transistor in low temperature， and also realized the high-precision extraction of low temperature parameters. Superconducting filter on the key technology and using software accurate designing are specially researched. Besides， this project proposed a new multiple-antenna signal enhancement processing structure， which supports the existing antenna array in arbitrary form， and designed multiple antennas combining prototype and test system. This structure is suitable for non-uniform group array under various signal modulation mode， different modulation parameters. This project proposed a new time delay alignment algorithm using quasi combined signal as the reference， which improve the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） of the reference signal， thus improve the time delay estimation performance. This project proposed a new weights estimation method， which is independent on single channel signal SNR calculation and does not need any priori information and timing synchronization. For the characteristics of communication signals， this project studied multi-antenna multi-level joint processing structure， achieving joint symbol detection and synchronization， as well as multiple signals joint synchronization and symbol detection. The above cooperative processing structure can achieve parameters estimation from multiple antenna at the same time， which can further enhance the processing gain under low SNR conditions. The above achievements are significant to be expanded to greater distance deep space exploration， achieving high-capacity high reliable data reception under low SNR condition. This project can effectively improve the deep space data transmission ability， which provide strong support for future deep space science， technology and engineering implementation in China.
