Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an environmental backscatter communication system based on phase deviation reconstruction, belonging to the fields of wireless communication and the Internet of Things. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global information industry, 6G technology has become a key research focus for countries worldwide. 6G's design concept of "Internet of Everything, Intelligent Internet of Everything" has greatly promoted the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT). Environmental backscattering technology, with its low power consumption, self-powered operation, wide spectrum coverage, and low cost, has secured a place in the development of 6G technology and the IoT. Environmental backscattering communication systems transmit information by carrying radio frequency signals in the environment, reducing the cost of deploying dedicated radio frequency signal sources and improving the utilization rate of spectrum resources. By adjusting the matching performance between the antenna and the radio frequency circuit, the communication system achieves self-powered operation and communication functions. When the antenna and radio frequency circuit are matched, it can absorb wireless signals in the environment and convert them into electrical energy. When the antenna and radio frequency circuit are mismatched, it enables the terminal device to transmit information to the receiving device, completing the communication process.

[0003] In environmental backscatter communication systems, the key focus is on data communication quality. Therefore, ensuring data communication at any location is fundamental to the widespread application of such systems. Currently, environmental backscatter communication widely uses OOK (On-Off Keying) modulation, which effectively reduces the power consumption of terminal devices. Terminal devices control the matching circuit to reflect or not reflect radio frequency (RF) signals from the environment. The receiving device receives both the RF signals from the environment and the RF signals reflected by the terminal device, and determines whether the terminal device is reflecting a signal by judging the power of the RF signals. Because the RF signals reflected by the terminal device received at the antenna of the receiving device cannot always maintain the same phase as the RF signals transmitted by the signal source, there may be situations where the voltage values ​​of the RF signals reflected by the terminal device and those without are the same after detection, resulting in zero transmitted data, or the voltage values ​​of the RF signals reflected by the terminal device are smaller after detection than those without, resulting in reversed data transmission and communication failure.

[0004] Therefore, it is very important to solve the problem of communication failure caused by the phase mismatch between the radio frequency signal reflected by the terminal device and the radio frequency signal emitted from the radio frequency signal source in the environmental backscatter communication system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes an environmental backscatter communication system based on phase deviation reconstruction, which aims to solve the problem of communication failure caused by the inconsistency between the phase of the radio frequency signal reflected by the terminal device and the radio frequency signal emitted by the radio frequency signal source in the environment.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is an environmental backscatter communication system based on phase deviation reconstruction. Its structure includes a radio frequency (RF) signal source, a terminal device, and a receiving device. The RF signal source transmits RF signals to the terminal device via a first path (HST) and a second path (HSR) to the receiving device. The terminal device selects whether to reflect the RF signal transmitted via the first path (HST) to the receiving device via a third path (HTR) or not, depending on the binary data to be transmitted. The receiving device superimposes the RF signal transmitted via the second path (HSR) and the RF signal reflected by the terminal device via the third path (HTR) and performs detection using an envelope detector to recover the binary signal waveform.

[0007] Furthermore, the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source is as shown in formula (1):

[0008] x(t) = Acos(ωt) (1);

[0009] Where: x(t) represents the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source, A represents the amplitude of the radio frequency signal, ω=2π / T=2πf, ω represents the angular velocity, and T and f represent the period and frequency of the radio frequency signal, respectively.

[0010] Further, the terminal device includes a first microcontroller, a phase control unit, a first matching circuit, a 0-phase offset path, a π / 2-phase offset path, and a first antenna; the signal output terminal of the first microcontroller is connected to the signal input terminal of the phase control unit, the output terminal of the phase control unit is connected to the input terminal of the first matching circuit, the first signal output terminal of the first matching circuit is connected to the signal input terminal of the 0-phase offset path, the second signal output terminal of the first matching circuit is connected to the signal input terminal of the π / 2-phase offset path, the signal output terminal of the 0-phase offset path is connected to the first signal input terminal of the first antenna, and the signal output terminal of the π / 2-phase offset path is connected to the second signal input terminal of the first antenna; during operation, the first microcontroller generates binary data and transmits the binary data to the phase control unit; the phase control unit first selects the 0-phase offset path... The first matching circuit is connected to the first antenna via a 0-phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, OOK modulation is performed to reflect or not reflect the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. When reflected, a first set of reflected radio frequency signals is formed, enabling the transmission of binary data. After the binary data transmission is completed, the phase control unit selects a π / 2 phase offset path. The first matching circuit is connected to the first antenna via the π / 2 phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, OOK modulation is performed to reflect or not reflect the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. When reflected, a second set of reflected radio frequency signals is formed, enabling the retransmission of binary data.

[0011] Furthermore, the binary data controls the first matching circuit to perform OOK modulation with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, realizing the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, this includes: the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst enters the terminal device through the first antenna and the 0-phase offset path; when the first matching circuit is impedance matched with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is not reflected; when the first matching circuit is impedance mismatched with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is reflected into the environment along the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, forming a first set of reflected radio frequency signals; the binary data controls the first matching circuit to perform OOK modulation with the first antenna. The matching characteristics of the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna are used for OOK modulation to achieve the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst enters the terminal device through the first antenna and the π / 2 phase offset path. When the first matching circuit matches the impedance of the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is not reflected. When the first matching circuit does not match the impedance of the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is reflected into the environment along the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, forming a second set of reflected radio frequency signals. The phase difference between the first set of reflected radio frequency signals and the second set of reflected radio frequency signals is π / 2.

[0012] Further, the receiving device includes a second antenna, a second matching circuit, an envelope detector, a reverse detection unit, and a second microcontroller; wherein, the signal output terminal of the second antenna is connected to the signal input terminal of the second matching circuit, the signal output terminal of the second matching circuit is connected to the signal input terminal of the envelope detector, the signal output terminal of the envelope detector is connected to the signal input terminal of the reverse detection unit, and the signal output terminal of the reverse detection unit is connected to the signal input terminal of the second microcontroller; during operation, the second antenna is connected to the second matching circuit, and the second antenna receives radio frequency signals from the environment and transmits them to the second matching circuit. The radio frequency signals in the environment include radio frequency signals transmitted through the second path HSR and radio frequency signals reflected by the terminal device through the third path HTR. The second matching circuit transmits the radio frequency signals from the environment... The radio frequency (RF) signal is transmitted to the envelope detector. The envelope detector performs peak envelope detection on the RF signal transmitted by the second matching circuit, recovers the smooth binary signal waveform, and transmits the binary signal waveform to the inverse detection unit. The inverse detection unit acquires the received data from the binary signal waveform and determines whether the start bit of the received data is a rising edge or a falling edge. If it is a rising edge, the received data is in the same direction as the binary data sent by the terminal device and is transmitted to the second microcontroller. If it is a falling edge, the received data is in the opposite direction to the binary data sent by the terminal device and is inverted and transmitted to the second microcontroller. The second microcontroller is connected to the inverse detection unit and receives the received data from the inverse detection unit, completing the communication process between the terminal device and the receiving device.

[0013] Furthermore, the phase control unit first selects a 0-phase offset path, the first matching circuit is connected to the first antenna through the 0-phase offset path, and performs OOK modulation by controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, thereby realizing the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst, specifically including:

[0014] 1) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 1, the terminal device is controlled to reflect the radio frequency signal. At this time, the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source is reflected through the first path hst and the first antenna and 0 phase offset path in the terminal device to form the first set of reflected radio frequency signals. The first set of reflected radio frequency signals is as shown in formula (2):

[0017] 2) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 0, the terminal device does not reflect radio frequency signals;

[0018] The phase control unit then selects a π / 2 phase offset path. The first matching circuit is connected to the first antenna via the π / 2 phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, an OOK modulation function is performed to achieve the reflection or non-reflection of the RF signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, this includes:

[0019] 1) When the binary data to be sent by the terminal device is 1, the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source is reflected by the first path hst and the first antenna and π / 2 phase offset path in the terminal device to form a second set of reflected radio frequency signals. The second set of reflected radio frequency signals is shown in formula (3):

[0022] 2) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 0, the terminal device does not reflect the radio frequency signal; after the π / 2 phase offset path has finished sending the binary data, the terminal device completes the data transmission.

[0023] Furthermore, when the terminal device reflects a radio frequency (RF) signal, the receiving device receives the superposition of the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment and the reflected RF signal from the terminal device; when the terminal device does not reflect a RF signal, the receiving device receives the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment; the reflected RF signal is either a first set of reflected RF signals or a second set of reflected RF signals; when the receiving device receives the superposition of the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment and the first set of reflected RF signals from the terminal device, the RF signal generated by the RF signal source and the first set of reflected RF signals from the terminal device are superimposed to form a first set of RF signals; when the receiving device receives the superposition of the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment and the second set of reflected RF signals from the terminal device, the RF signal generated by the RF signal source and the second set of reflected RF signals from the terminal device are superimposed to form a second set of RF signals.

[0024] Furthermore, the waveform function of the first group of radio frequency signals includes the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source and the first group of reflected radio frequency signals reflected by the terminal device through the 0-phase offset path; the waveform function of the first group of radio frequency signals is shown in formula (4):

[0025]

[0027] Furthermore, the waveform function of the second set of radio frequency signals includes the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source and the second set of reflected radio frequency signals reflected by the terminal device through the π / 2 phase offset path; the waveform function of the second set of radio frequency signals is shown in formula (5):

[0030] Furthermore, the workflow of the receiving device includes:

[0031] 1) In the environmental backscatter communication system, the receiving equipment first receives the first set of radio frequency signals.

[0032] If the transmitted data in the binary data sent by the terminal device is 0, and B(n) = 0, then the terminal device does not reflect the radio frequency signal. At this time, the first set of radio frequency signals received by the receiving device is as shown in formula (6):

[0033] y1(t)=α hsr Acos(ωt+θ) (6);

[0034] If the binary data sent by the terminal device contains 1 and B(n) = 1, then the radio frequency signal is reflected. At this time, the first set of radio frequency signals received by the receiving device is as shown in formula (7):

The reverse detection unit samples the waveform of the first group of binary signals and recovers the first group of binary 01 data. The first data waveform is detected as a falling edge. At this time, the binary data sent by the terminal device is the reverse of the first group of binary 01 data recovered by the reverse detection unit. The binary data transmitted by the terminal device is obtained by inverting the first group of binary 01 data recovered by the reverse detection unit. The data inversion means changing the 0 in the binary 01 data recovered by the reverse detection unit to 1 and the 1 to 0.

[0095] An environmental backscatter communication system based on phase deviation reconstruction includes a radio frequency (RF) signal source, a terminal device, and a receiving device. The RF signal source transmits RF signals to the terminal device via a first path (hst) and a second path (hsr) to the receiving device. The terminal device selects whether to reflect the RF signal transmitted via the first path (hst) to the receiving device via a third path (htr) or not, depending on the binary data to be transmitted. The receiving device reconstructs the binary signal waveform by superimposing the RF signal transmitted via the second path (hsr) and the RF signal reflected by the terminal device via the third path (htr) and performing detection using an envelope detector.

[0096] The radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source is as shown in formula (1):

[0097] X(t) = Acos(ωt) (1);

During operation, the first microcontroller generates binary data and transmits it to the phase control unit. The phase control unit first selects the 0-phase offset path, and then... A matching circuit is connected to the first antenna via a 0-phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, an OOK modulation function is performed to reflect or not reflect the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. When reflected, a first set of reflected radio frequency signals is formed, enabling the transmission of binary data. After the binary data transmission is completed, the phase control unit selects a π / 2 phase offset path. The first matching circuit is then connected to the first antenna via the π / 2 phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, an OOK modulation function is performed to reflect or not reflect the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. When reflected, a second set of reflected radio frequency signals is formed, enabling the retransmission of binary data.

[0100] The binary data controls the first matching circuit to perform OOK modulation with the matching characteristics of the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, realizing the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst enters the terminal device through the first antenna and the 0-phase offset path; when the impedance of the first matching circuit is matched with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is not reflected; when the impedance of the first matching circuit is not matched with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is reflected into the environment along the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna, forming a first set of reflected radio frequency signals.

[0101] The binary data controls the first matching circuit to perform OOK modulation on the matching characteristics of the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, realizing the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst enters the terminal device through the first antenna and the π / 2 phase offset path. When the first matching circuit matches the impedance of the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is not reflected. When the first matching circuit does not match the impedance of the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst entering the terminal device is reflected into the environment along the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna, forming a second set of reflected radio frequency signals. The phase difference between the first set of reflected radio frequency signals and the second set of reflected radio frequency signals is π / 2.

[0102] The receiving device includes a second antenna, a second matching circuit, an envelope detector, a reverse detection unit, and a second microcontroller. The signal output terminal of the second antenna is connected to the signal input terminal of the second matching circuit, the signal output terminal of the second matching circuit is connected to the signal input terminal of the envelope detector, the signal output terminal of the envelope detector is connected to the signal input terminal of the reverse detection unit, and the signal output terminal of the reverse detection unit is connected to the signal input terminal of the second microcontroller. During operation, the second antenna is connected to the second matching circuit. The second antenna receives radio frequency (RF) signals from the environment and transmits them to the second matching circuit. The RF signals from the environment include RF signals transmitted via the second path (HSR) and RF signals reflected by the terminal device via the third path (HTR). The second matching circuit transmits the RF signals from the environment... The signal is transmitted to the envelope detector, which performs peak envelope detection on the radio frequency signal transmitted by the second matching circuit to recover a smooth binary signal waveform. The binary signal waveform is then transmitted to the inverse detection unit. The inverse detection unit acquires the received data from the binary signal waveform and determines whether the start bit of the received data is a rising edge or a falling edge. If it is a rising edge, the received data is in the same direction as the binary data sent by the terminal device and is transmitted to the second microcontroller. If it is a falling edge, the received data is in the opposite direction to the binary data sent by the terminal device and is inverted and transmitted to the second microcontroller. The second microcontroller is connected to the inverse detection unit and receives the received data from the inverse detection unit, completing the communication process between the terminal device and the receiving device.

[0103] The phase control unit first selects a 0-phase offset path. The first matching circuit is connected to the first antenna through the 0-phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna through binary data, the OOK modulation function is performed to realize the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, it includes: 1) Selecting a 0-phase offset path and controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the 0-phase offset path and the first antenna through binary data B(n), thereby controlling the reflection or non-reflection of the radio frequency signal entering the terminal device through the first path hst.

[0104] 2) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 1, the terminal device is controlled to reflect the radio frequency signal. At this time, the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source is reflected through the first path hst and the first antenna and 0 phase offset path in the terminal device to form the first set of reflected radio frequency signals. The first set of reflected radio frequency signals is as shown in formula (2):

[0107] 3) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 0, the terminal device does not reflect radio frequency signals.

[0108] The phase control unit then selects a π / 2 phase offset path. The first matching circuit is connected to the first antenna via the π / 2 phase offset path. By controlling the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna using binary data, an OOK modulation function is performed to achieve the reflection or non-reflection of the RF signal passing through the first path hst. Specifically, this includes:

[0109] 1) Select the π / 2 phase offset path and control the matching characteristics of the first matching circuit with the π / 2 phase offset path and the first antenna through binary data B(n), thereby controlling the reflection or non-reflection of the RF signal entering the terminal device through the first path hst;

[0110] 2) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 1, the radio frequency signal generated by the radio frequency signal source is reflected by the first path hst and the first antenna and π / 2 phase offset path in the terminal device to form a second set of reflected radio frequency signals. The second set of reflected radio frequency signals is shown in formula (3):

[0113] 3) When the binary data that the terminal device needs to send is 0, the terminal device does not reflect the radio frequency signal; after the π / 2 phase offset path has finished sending the binary data, the terminal device completes the data transmission.

[0114] When the terminal device reflects a radio frequency (RF) signal, the receiving device receives the superposition of the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment and the reflected RF signal from the terminal device. When the terminal device does not reflect a RF signal, the receiving device receives the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment. The reflected RF signal is either a first set of reflected RF signals or a second set of reflected RF signals. When the receiving device receives the superposition of the RF signal generated by the RF signal source in the environment and the first set of reflected RF signals from the terminal device, the RF signal generated by the RF signal source and the first set of reflected RF signals from the terminal device are superimposed to form a first set of RF signals.
