Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of radio technology, and in particular to a low-power digital radio frequency transmitter based on optimized mapping modulation. Background Art

[0002] Faced with the increasingly tight radio spectrum resources and the iterative updates of emerging communication standards, communication networks are faced with the dual challenges of optimizing spectrum utilization and adapting to diverse technical needs. Especially with the advancement of 5G and future 6G technologies, higher requirements are placed on efficient spectrum utilization, low-latency communications, and massive device access capabilities. In addition, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet, the demand for customized communication solutions in different application scenarios is increasing. In this context, it is particularly critical to deploy radio transmitters that can support multiple specifications and standards at the same time, have carrier frequency variability, and are highly reconfigurable.

[0003] In order to achieve this new deployment, the physical layer of the transmitter must be able to support the simultaneous transmission of multi-frequency, multi-rate, and multi-standard signals. The design and construction of traditional analog RF transmitters rely on fixed hardware architectures optimized for specific signal types and communication standards. The devices and circuit systems they contain limit the bandwidth and transmission rate of the signal, and can only adapt to new frequency bands or standards by replacing physical hardware. The deployment and maintenance costs are high, and they lack flexibility and adaptability. In this context, the concept of digital RF transmitters was proposed. It uses software-defined radio (SDR) technology to place baseband signal processing, signal coding, and frequency shifting operations in the digital domain. It can adapt to new communication protocols and frequency requirements through software updates without changing hardware. It can achieve high flexibility and reconfigurability, support multi-frequency, multi-rate, and multi-standard signal transmission, reduce update costs, and improve deployment efficiency and performance.

[0004] Bit width modulation technology is the core of digital transmitters. In addition to the common DSM modulation technology and PWM modulation technology, the existing patent application with publication number CN114826291A proposes mapping modulation technology, which realizes the mapping of intermediate frequency complex signals and radio frequency pulses based on the look-up table (LUT). The operation is simple and greatly reduces the resource consumption of the multiplier. At the same time, the digital radio frequency transmitter based on mapping modulation technology has the characteristics of flexible frequency conversion, simple structure, low DSP (Digital Signal Processor) resource consumption, and good output signal performance indicators.

[0005] However, in order to meet the high requirements of actual application scenarios for transmission speed, system dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio, the bit width of the input signal may need to be increased. In the solution proposed in the patent application with publication number CN114826291A, the LUT size increases exponentially with the increase of signal bit width, and power consumption also increases with the increase of bit width. This will lead to excessive consumption of storage resources, increase the complexity of system implementation, increase the circuit area and cost of the device, and even exceed the maximum capacity of common RAM (Random Access Memory) in some cases, and cannot be implemented on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

After the baseband signal passes through the interpolation unit, it becomes an intermediate frequency signal, and the intermediate frequency sampling frequency is f IF , and then through the mapping encoding unit, it becomes a radio frequency signal, and the radio frequency sampling frequency is f RF The intermediate frequency sampling frequency and the radio frequency sampling frequency meet fRF = N · f IF , N is the pulse length.

[0027] Define carrier frequency f c The IF sampling frequency f IF The ratio is α ,Right now , the mapping modulation algorithm can be α When taking integers, the size of the mapping table is significantly reduced, which can greatly reduce the power consumption of the mapping part in the digital RF transmitter. α no N The factor of or is 1, that is, when When the storage resources occupied by the mapping table are reduced to 1 / 2 of the existing digital RF transmitter based on optimized mapping modulation, N ; and α yes N and is not 1, that is, when When the storage resources occupied by the mapping table are reduced to the existing digital RF transmitter based on optimized mapping modulation, α / N .

[0028] Specifically, the interpolation unit is used to increase the sampling frequency of the baseband signal to obtain an intermediate frequency signal. W 1 baseband signal x 0( s ) Interpolation to get the intermediate frequency signal x 1( m ), intermediate frequency sampling frequency f IF satisfy , f c is the carrier frequency, α Not greater than An integer, that is α =1,2,3... In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the up-sampling filter is used to realize the function of the interpolation unit and increase the sampling frequency of the baseband signal to f IF , the baseband signal x 0 ( s ) Interpolation to get the intermediate frequency signal x 1 ( m ).

[0029] Specifically, the rectangular coordinate conversion polar coordinate unit is used to obtain the amplitude and phase of the intermediate frequency signal. The amplitude and phase of the intermediate frequency signal output by the rectangular coordinate conversion polar coordinate unit are quantized with a bit width of W 2.

[0036] when f c = α · f IF ,and α Not greater than When the digital sequence is an integer, it shifts left one bit each time it is cyclically shifted. f cThe corresponding phase increase of the intermediate frequency signal quantization value or , thus we get the idea of ​​mapping modulation algorithm.

[0037] Specifically, in α no N When the factor is 1, any phase range in the mapping table is retained. in the interval α yes N When the factor is not 1, any phase range in the mapping table is retained. If the input signal phase is within the reserved range, the corresponding digital RF sequence is obtained directly by looking up the table. If the input signal phase is not within the reserved range, the signal is rotated clockwise. or of i Enter the coverage range of the mapping table, get the corresponding digital sequence, and then move left again. i to obtain the correct RF digital sequence.
