Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of signal processing, and in particular to a low-noise active automatic phase shifting method and system. Background Art
[0002] Phase shift refers to the phase change of a signal in time. In AC signals, phase shift is usually expressed as an angle, which indicates the offset of the signal waveform relative to a reference time point. Phase shift can add a certain time delay or advance to the phase of the signal, thereby changing its relationship with other signals. In many applications, especially in communication systems, it is crucial to synchronize different signals. Phase shift can ensure that the signals are aligned on the same time basis for correct decoding or processing. At the same time, phase shift can be used to adjust the stability of the control system. By adjusting the phase of the feedback signal, it can be ensured that the system will not oscillate. Especially in complex dynamic systems, phase shift is an important means of adjusting the feedback mechanism.

[0105] Example 2
[0106] This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a low-noise active automatic phase shifting system, which includes a signal source acquisition module, a data analysis module, a phase shifting module, a phase detection module and an output module, wherein:
[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the signal source acquisition module includes acquiring signal phase, preamplifier input signal and preamplifier output signal, and compiling the above-collected data into a phase data set, an input data set and an output data set, and transmitting the data compiled into the phase data set, the input data set and the output data set to the data analysis module;
[0108] It should be noted that the signal source acquisition module is designed to efficiently and accurately obtain the phase information of the signal and the input and output signals of the preamplifier. This module not only undertakes the task of signal acquisition, but also ensures the integrity and reliability of the signal during transmission, so as to facilitate subsequent data analysis and processing;
[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the signal source acquisition module is first responsible for real-time monitoring of external signals. It receives inputs from different signal sources, including analog signals and digital signals, and converts these signals into digital form through a high-speed analog-to-digital converter for transmission and processing. In this process, the clock circuit and phase detection circuit inside the module play a vital role to ensure that the phase information of the signal can be accurately captured, which is very important for many signal processing applications, such as demodulation of phase modulated signals, phase noise analysis, etc.
[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, the input signal of the preamplifier enters the preamplifier part of the signal source acquisition module after conversion. The preamplifier here is responsible for enhancing weak signals to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and ensure that subsequent signal processing can be more accurate. The preamplifier usually adopts a high-gain, low-noise amplifier design to reduce the noise introduced by the amplifier itself and improve the detectability of the signal;
[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, after collecting the signal, the signal source acquisition module also processes the output signal of the preamplifier. This process may include further signal conditioning, such as filtering and denoising, to ensure that the output signal is clear enough so that the subsequent data analysis module can obtain more accurate information. The digital signal processing technology can perform various algorithm processing on the collected signal to extract the required features;
[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the processed signal and phase information are transmitted to the data analysis module. In order to ensure the real-time and reliability of data transmission, a high-speed serial communication interface and a suitable protocol are usually used for data transmission. In this process, the transmission quality of the signal is very important. Usually, necessary measures need to be taken, such as error detection and correction, to ensure the integrity and consistency of the data during the transmission process.
[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the data analysis module includes calculating the signal gain, phase compensation amount and phase difference according to the above-mentioned transmission data, and transmitting the calculated numerical phase difference to the phase shift module;
[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the phase shifting module includes performing phase shifting according to the value of the transmission phase difference, and transmitting the phase-shifted signal information to the phase detection module;
[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the phase shift module is an important signal processing unit, which is specifically responsible for performing corresponding signal phase shift processing according to the transmission phase difference of the input signal. The core of this process is to accurately control the phase of the signal to ensure that the signal can maintain the required relative phase relationship with other signals when it is transmitted to the next stage;
[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the phase shift module receives an original signal, which may have a phase difference due to path differences, medium characteristics or other factors. In the module, for the known phase difference value, the phase shift module will modify the signal accordingly through a specific algorithm and circuit design, such as a phase-locked loop or a digital signal processor. These technologies can achieve linear adjustment of the phase to ensure that the signal can adapt to subsequent processing or match the phase requirements of other signals;
[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the phase of the signal after the phase shifting process has changed compared with the original signal, and can be applied to multiple application scenarios in the plan. The signal after the phase shifting process will be sent to the next processing stage, that is, the phase detection module;
[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the phase detection module includes calculating the signal-to-noise ratio and the stability of the phase-shifted signal according to the signal information after the phase shift to determine the signal state after the phase shift, and generating a phase-shifted signal detection report to be transmitted to the output module;
[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, monitoring the signal-to-noise ratio can help identify problems in signal transmission, such as interference, attenuation or distortion. By analyzing the changes in the signal-to-noise ratio, engineers can quickly locate potential faults and take appropriate measures to repair them. The signal quality after phase shifting is evaluated by taking the logarithm of the ratio of the two and multiplying it by 10. The calculation of the signal-to-noise ratio provides an important basis for the development of signal processing algorithms. Designers can optimize filtering, modulation and demodulation algorithms in a targeted manner according to the performance under different signal-to-noise ratio conditions to adapt to different application scenarios.
[0120] The stability of the phase-shifted signal directly affects the phase relationship between multiple signals, especially in multi-channel signal processing and phased array radar. Ensuring the stability of the phase-shifted signal helps improve system performance and signal synchronization. In practical applications, the signal may be affected by a variety of interference factors. The stability calculation of the phase-shifted signal can help design a more robust system and ensure that the signal can maintain the predetermined phase characteristics even in a changing environment.
[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, the output module includes transmitting the phase shift signal detection report to a display terminal for user viewing and analysis.
[0122] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
