[0048] Figure 2 Block diagram of a high - order modulation signal demodulation and equalization processing system provided by an embodiment of the present application. Detailed implementation manners

[0049] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, the terms "including", "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non - exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not necessarily limit to the clearly listed steps or units, but may also include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices that are not explicitly listed, or steps or units added by further optimized solutions based on the concept of the present invention.

[0051] The objective of the present invention is to provide a data transmission demodulation unit test system and its equalization processing method that support high - order modulation (32APSK, 64APSK) and multi - loop targeted processing based on a distorted constellation diagram. By an improved combination equalization scheme of CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) and LMS (Least Mean Square Algorithm), and combined with a multi - loop targeted processing module based on a distorted constellation diagram, the problem in the prior art of being difficult to handle high - order modulation signals and complex channel distortions is solved, ensuring high demodulation performance can still be achieved under low signal - to - noise ratio conditions.

[0052] To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides the following technical solutions. Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a flowchart of a high - order modulation signal demodulation and equalization processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and may include the following steps:

[0053] S1. Obtain a high - order modulation signal and perform timing recovery on the high - order modulation signal;

[0054] Timing recovery: The signal first passes through a timing synchronization module, which performs timing recovery on the signal through a specific algorithm (such as a timing recovery algorithm based on zero - crossing detection or interpolation - based), ensuring that the sampling points of the signal are aligned with the symbol boundaries. This step provides an accurate timing reference for subsequent equalization processing.

[0055] S2. Use a CMA equalizer to perform coarse equalization processing on the signal after timing recovery.

[0056] Among them, the CMA equalizer adopts a fractionally-spaced linear transversal equalizer structure, operates at twice the symbol frequency, and is used to solve non-specific channel linear distortion.

[0057] The implementation details in this step specifically include obtaining a high-order modulation signal: The receiving end captures the high-order modulation signal after channel transmission, such as 32APSK or 64APSK signals.

[0058] CMA equalizer processing: The signal after timing recovery enters the CMA equalizer. The CMA equalizer adopts a fractionally-spaced linear transversal equalizer (LTE) structure and operates at twice the symbol frequency. This structure allows signal processing at twice the symbol rate, enabling more refined signal adjustment. The CMA equalizer preliminarily corrects the amplitude distortion and group delay distortion of the signal by adjusting its weight coefficients. The algorithm of the CMA equalizer is based on the amplitude characteristics of the signal, and optimizes the weights of the equalizer by minimizing the modulus error of the signal, thereby solving non-specific channel linear distortion. The purpose of this step is to preliminarily recover the signal before carrier synchronization and reduce the threshold of carrier synchronization.

[0059] S3, The signal after coarse equalization is subjected to multi-loop targeted processing based on the distorted constellation diagram.

[0060] Among them, the multi-loop targeted processing based on the distorted constellation diagram includes performing constellation diagram analysis on the received signal and entering the multi-loop targeted processing module based on the distorted constellation diagram. The module analyzes the constellation diagram of the signal, identifies the constellation points of different loops, and performs targeted processing on the constellation points of each loop according to the distortion situation.

[0061] The implementation details in this step specifically include constellation diagram analysis: The signal after coarse equalization by the CMA equalizer enters the multi-loop targeted processing module based on the distorted constellation diagram. This module first performs constellation diagram analysis on the received signal. Constellation diagram analysis is to map the complex representation of the signal onto a two-dimensional plane to form a constellation point distribution diagram. By analyzing the distribution of constellation points, the constellation points of different loops are identified, such as the outer-loop, middle-loop, and inner-loop constellation points. The outer-loop constellation points have a larger amplitude and stronger noise resistance, the middle-loop constellation points have a moderate amplitude, and the inner-loop constellation points have a smaller amplitude.

[0062] Targeted processing: Perform targeted processing on the constellation points of each loop according to the distortion situation:

[0063] Outer-loop constellation points: Since the outer-loop constellation points have a larger amplitude and strong noise resistance, they are mainly used for frequency offset estimation and compensation. The frequency offset estimation module quickly estimates the frequency offset by analyzing the phase change of the outer-loop constellation points and compensates it before carrier synchronization.

[0064] Middle circle constellation points: The amplitude of the middle circle constellation points is moderate, mainly used for the parameter adjustment of the equalizer. By analyzing the distortion of the middle circle constellation points, the equalizer parameters are dynamically adjusted to further eliminate channel distortion.

[0065] Inner circle constellation points: The amplitude of the inner circle constellation points is small, and the anti-noise ability is poor. They are mainly used for error correction. By analyzing the error situation of the inner circle constellation points, error correction is performed to ensure the demodulation quality of the inner circle constellation points.

[0066] S4, Carrier recovery is performed on the signal after multi-loop targeted processing, and then it enters the LMS equalizer for fine equalization processing.

[0067] Among them, the LMS equalizer adopts the structure of a fractionally-spaced linear transversal equalizer, operating at 2 times the symbol frequency to eliminate inter-symbol interference and line amplifier distortion.

[0068] In this step, specifically, the signal after multi-loop targeted processing enters the carrier synchronization module for carrier recovery. The carrier synchronization module performs phase correction on the signal through specific algorithms (such as the phase-locked loop PLL or Costas loop) to ensure that the phase of the signal is aligned with the phase of the local oscillator. This step further improves the signal quality and provides an accurate phase reference for subsequent fine equalization processing.

[0069] The signal after carrier synchronization enters the LMS equalizer for fine equalization processing. The LMS equalizer also adopts the structure of a fractionally-spaced linear transversal equalizer (LTE), operating at 2 times the symbol frequency. The LMS equalizer dynamically adjusts its weight coefficients through an adaptive algorithm to further eliminate inter-symbol interference and line amplifier distortion. The algorithm of the LMS equalizer is based on the least mean square error criterion, and the weights of the equalizer are optimized by minimizing the error of the signal.

[0070] The line amplifier distortion compensation module is included in the LMS equalizer. This module includes:

[0071] S5, By analyzing the amplitude and phase changes of the signal, the equalizer parameters are dynamically adjusted to eliminate the influence of line amplifier distortion on the signal. The line amplifier distortion compensation module monitors the amplitude and phase changes of the signal in real time through an adaptive algorithm to ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of line amplifier distortion compensation. This step ensures the demodulation performance of high-order modulation signals under line amplifier distortion conditions.

[0072] The signal after fine equalization by the LMS equalizer and line amplifier distortion compensation finally enters the demodulation module to complete demodulation. The demodulation module restores the equalized signal to the original data to complete the entire demodulation process.

[0073] The following presents another alternative implementation of this application: The present invention provides a data transmission demodulation unit test system, which adopts a combined equalization scheme of improved CMA equalization and LMS equalization, and combines a multi-loop targeted processing module based on a distorted constellation diagram. The specific steps are as follows:

[0074] 1. CMA adaptive blind equalization:

As a coarse equalizer, it is used to solve non-specific channel linear distortion, especially amplitude distortion and group delay distortion for high-order modulation signals (such as 32APSK, 64APSK).

[0076] b) The CMA equalizer adopts a fractional-spaced (FSE) linear transverse equalizer (LTE) structure, operates at 2 times the symbol frequency, and is optimized for high-order modulation signals to ensure initial signal recovery can still be achieved under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0077] c) The main function of the CMA equalizer is to ensure a low threshold for carrier synchronization and ensure initial signal recovery can still be achieved when the channel distortion is large.

[0078] 2. Multi-loop targeted processing module based on a distorted constellation diagram:

[0079] a) After the CMA equalizer, the system introduces a multi-loop targeted processing module based on a distorted constellation diagram, which is used to perform targeted processing on constellation points in different loops according to the distorted constellation diagram.

[0080] b) This module first analyzes the constellation diagram of the received signal, identifies constellation points in different loops (such as the outer loop, middle loop, inner loop), and performs different processing on the constellation points in each loop according to the distortion situation.

[0081] c) Outer loop constellation points: Since the outer loop constellation points have a large amplitude and strong noise resistance, they are mainly used for frequency offset estimation and compensation. The frequency offset estimation module quickly estimates the frequency offset by analyzing the phase change of the outer loop constellation points and compensates it before carrier synchronization.

[0082] d) Middle loop constellation points: The middle loop constellation points have a moderate amplitude and are mainly used for adjusting the parameters of the equalizer. By analyzing the distortion situation of the middle loop constellation points, the equalizer parameters are dynamically adjusted to further eliminate channel distortion.

[0083] e) Inner loop constellation points: The inner loop constellation points have a small amplitude and poor noise resistance, and are mainly used for error correction. By analyzing the error situation of the inner loop constellation points, error correction is performed to ensure the demodulation quality of the inner loop constellation points.

[0084] f) This module can perform targeted processing on the constellation points of different circles according to the distorted constellation diagram, ensuring high demodulation performance even under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0085] 3. LMS Adaptive Blind Equalization:

[0086] a) The LMS equalizer is located after carrier synchronization and serves as a fine equalizer to further solve non-specific channel linear distortion, especially inter-symbol interference and line amplifier distortion for high-order modulation signals.

[0087] b) The LMS equalizer also adopts the structure of a linear transversal equalizer (LTE) with fractional-spaced equalization (FSE), operates at twice the symbol frequency, and is optimized for high-order modulation signals and line amplifier distortion.

[0088] c) The main function of the LMS equalizer is to further improve the demodulation quality and ensure stable demodulation performance even under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0089] 4. Line Amplifier Distortion Compensation:

[0090] a) To address the line amplifier distortion problem, the system introduces a line amplifier distortion compensation module in the LMS equalizer, which performs real-time compensation for line amplifier distortion through an adaptive algorithm to ensure the demodulation performance of high-order modulation signals under line amplifier distortion conditions.

[0091] b) The line amplifier distortion compensation module analyzes the amplitude and phase changes of the signal and dynamically adjusts the equalizer parameters to eliminate the impact of line amplifier distortion on the signal.

[0092] 5. Advantages of Combined Equalization:

[0093] a) Through the combined equalization scheme of improved CMA and LMS, combined with the multi-circle targeted processing module based on the distorted constellation diagram, the system can achieve stable demodulation performance under different channel conditions, especially in the complex environment of high-order modulation signals (such as 32APSK, 64APSK) and line amplifier distortion.

[0094] b) The CMA equalizer, as a coarse equalizer, can perform preliminary recovery of the signal before carrier synchronization and reduce the threshold of carrier synchronization.

[0095] c) The multi-circle targeted processing module based on the distorted constellation diagram can perform targeted processing on the constellation points of different circles before carrier synchronization to ensure the accuracy of frequency offset estimation and the optimization of equalizer parameters.

[0096] d) The LMS equalizer, as a fine equalizer, can further eliminate inter-symbol interference and line amplifier distortion after carrier synchronization and improve the demodulation quality.

[0097] The following gives an optional implementation process:

[0098] System structure:

[0099] The data transmission demodulation unit test system includes a timing synchronization module, a CMA equalizer, a multi-loop targeted processing module based on a distortion constellation diagram, a carrier synchronization module, an LMS equalizer (including a line amplifier distortion compensation module) and a demodulation module.

[0100] The signal first passes through the timing synchronization module for timing recovery, then enters the CMA equalizer for coarse equalization, and then passes through the multi-loop targeted processing module based on the distortion constellation diagram for frequency offset estimation, equalizer parameter adjustment and error correction, and then passes through the carrier synchronization module for carrier recovery, and finally enters the LMS equalizer for fine equalization and line amplifier distortion compensation, and finally the demodulation module completes the demodulation.

[0101] Equalizer Design:

[0102] Both CMA and LMS equalizers use a fractionally spaced (FSE) linear transverse equalizer (LTE) structure, operate at twice the symbol frequency, and are optimized for high-order modulation signals and line amplifier distortion.

[0103] The parameter setting of the CMA equalizer is mainly aimed at the initial recovery of the channel linear distortion, and the parameter setting of the LMS equalizer is mainly aimed at the elimination of inter-symbol interference and line distortion.

[0104] Multi-loop targeted processing module based on distortion constellation diagram:

[0105] The multi-circle targeted processing module based on the distortion constellation diagram analyzes the constellation diagram of the received signal, identifies the constellation points of different circles (such as the outer circle, middle circle, and inner circle), and processes the constellation points of each circle differently according to the distortion situation.

[0106] The outer circle constellation points are used for frequency offset estimation and compensation, the middle circle constellation points are used for equalizer parameter adjustment, and the inner circle constellation points are used for error correction.

[0107] Line amplifier distortion compensation module:

[0108] The line amplifier distortion compensation module uses an adaptive algorithm to compensate for the line amplifier distortion in real time and dynamically adjusts the equalizer parameters to eliminate the impact of the line amplifier distortion on the signal.

[0109] This module analyzes the amplitude and phase changes of the signal and adjusts the equalizer parameters in real time to ensure the demodulation performance under the condition of line amplifier distortion.

[0110] Simulation and testing:

[0111] Through simulation analysis and actual tests, the performance of the improved combined CMA and LMS equalization scheme and the multi-loop targeted processing module based on the distorted constellation diagram under high-order modulation signals (such as 32APSK and 64APSK) and line amplifier distortion conditions was verified.

[0112] The test results show that the combined equalization scheme can effectively cope with amplitude-frequency distortion, group delay distortion, multipath effect, line amplifier distortion and frequency offset problems, ensuring high demodulation performance even under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0113] In summary, the present invention provides a data transmission demodulation unit test system and its equalization processing method that support high-order modulation (32APSK, 64APSK) and multi-loop targeted processing based on the distorted constellation diagram. Through the improved combined CMA and LMS equalization scheme, the multi-loop targeted processing module based on the distorted constellation diagram and the line amplifier distortion compensation module, it can effectively cope with various channel distortion problems and ensure high demodulation performance even under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. This scheme has broad application prospects and is especially suitable for high-demand digital communication systems, especially in the fields of satellite communication and broadband communication.
