Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of QEC correction of digital arrays, and more particularly to a feedback-based digital QEC correction method for digital arrays. Background Art

[0002] Digital array antennas are commonly used in satellite communications. Serving as satellite antennas for communication with ground stations or mobile phones, they are a crucial component of satellite payloads and have a significant impact on the entire satellite communications system. Digital multi-beamforming is a key technology in satellite communications systems. Accurate beamforming requires high RF channel quality. However, errors introduced by hardware non-idealities, time-varying environments, and structural complexity within the array's RF channels degrade channel quality. The resulting IQ imbalance, which can cause image errors and local oscillator leakage in the transmit and receive channels, is a key issue that needs to be addressed.

[0003] Traditional methods rely on hardware circuit design to address IQ imbalance. This approach places high demands on the hardware circuitry, resulting in higher costs and poor product updateability. Another approach, active correction, relies on a known reference source (such as a calibration signal or spectrum analyzer). However, this requires additional hardware and cannot be updated in real time. It is only suitable for static error environments and is clearly unsuitable for satellites in orbit.

[0004] The present invention proposes a solution for multi-channel QEC correction of digital array antennas that is independent of hardware design and does not require the support of an external reference source. It uses a feedback-based digital method for mirror QEC correction. This method also achieves error correction of the mirror and local oscillator with high accuracy and good portability.

This method first performs QEC correction on the transmitter side by constructing a pre-distortion model to eliminate image errors and local oscillator leakage caused by IQ imbalance, ensuring signal quality. It then performs correction on the receiver side by constructing a post-distortion model to restore the authenticity of the received signal and minimize the impact of errors. This method is independent of hardware design and external reference sources, and utilizes a feedback mechanism to achieve real-time correction, adapting to dynamic environmental changes. This high-precision digital correction not only improves system performance but also offers good portability, adaptability to different platforms and environments, and low system complexity and cost, making it widely applicable in fields such as satellite communication systems.

This method effectively removes interference from the signal, ensuring accurate recovery of both the spectrum and the DC portion of the signal, ultimately improving the robustness, stability, and accuracy of the signal processing system.

[0061] Specifically, first, in this embodiment, a pair of standard transceiver ADDAs after external calibration is required; For the transmit calibration solution, a test signal (a ZC sequence with good autocorrelation can be used as the loading sequence) is serially transmitted from each transmitter to be calibrated. A standard receiver connected to the RF line receives the digital signal. The transmit channel parameters are calculated according to the solution and then applied to the transmit predistortion model to construct transmit QEC and DC calibration. Subsequent transmission of an in-band single-tone signal verifies that QEC and DC correction are effective under the predistortion model. For the receive calibration solution, a standard transmitter transmits a test signal (a ZC signal can also be used). The receive channels to be calibrated are then connected to the RF line to receive the sampled digital signal. The parameters of each receive channel are calculated using the aforementioned scheme and then incorporated into the post-receive distortion model to construct the receive QEC and DC calibration. After the post-receive distortion model is constructed, the effectiveness of the QEC and DC calibration can be verified.

Figure 6 From the transmit signal spectrum x in the upper left figure and the receive signal spectrum y in the upper right figure, the image suppression becomes 17dB, while the DC suppression is 27dB. The simulation results of pre-distortion and post-distortion are obtained using the above scheme, as shown in the figure below. Figure 6 The results on the lower left and lower right show that both schemes can significantly improve the channel's image and DC suppression, with suppression ratios exceeding 50dB.

[0063] The feedback-based digital QEC correction method proposed in this embodiment accurately describes the sources of error in the system by constructing a distortion model of the transmit and receive channels and calculating the distortion model parameters, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent correction. This method first performs QEC correction at the transmitter by constructing a pre-distortion model to eliminate image errors and local oscillator leakage caused by IQ imbalance, ensuring signal quality. It then performs correction at the receiver by constructing a post-distortion model to restore the authenticity of the received signal and reduce the impact of errors. This method is independent of hardware design and external reference sources, and utilizes a feedback mechanism to achieve real-time correction, adapting to dynamic environmental changes. This high-precision digital correction not only improves system performance but also offers good portability, adaptability to different platforms and environments, and low system complexity and cost, making it widely applicable in fields such as satellite communication systems.
