Aiming at the actual situation of marine buoy data monitoring and the problems of poor anti-interference performance, low fault tolerance coefficient and high energy consumption in current communication system, the hardware design of marine buoy data communication terminal based on the 1st generation Beidou navigation positioning system is proposed. Based on the marine buoy system, the overall structure of communication terminal is designed. The main components of the hardware are Beidou communication module and wireless network communication module, and the auxiliary parts are antenna and power supply module. The long-distance part uses the inherent data transmission mode of Beidou navigation system to communicate, while the short-range part uses the radio network communication protocol to complete the data transmission. There are two UART interfaces in the hardware, one is connected with the auxiliary cabin, which is responsible for receiving the related data of the auxiliary cabin, including azimuth, attitude and pressure sensing, and the other UART interface is connected with the Beidou communication module, which is responsible for receiving positioning and navigation data and transmitting remote data. The experimental results show that the design has high signal-to-noise ratio, strong fault-tolerant performance, high positioning accuracy and communication success rate, low energy consumption and perfect performance.
