Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of QEC correction technology for digital arrays, and more specifically, to a feedback-based digital QEC correction method for digital arrays. Background Technology
[0002] Digital array antennas are commonly used in satellite communications, serving as satellite antennas to communicate with ground stations or mobile phones. They are a crucial component of satellite payloads and have a significant impact on the entire satellite communication system. Digital multi-beamforming is one of the key technologies in satellite communication systems, and accurate beamforming requires high RF channel quality. However, various errors caused by hardware non-ideals, environmental time-varying factors, and structural complexity in each RF channel of the array become sources of deterioration in channel quality. The resulting IQ imbalance can cause image errors and local oscillator leakage in the transmit or receive channels, which is a key problem that needs to be addressed.
[0003] Traditional methods rely on the design of the hardware circuitry itself, addressing the IQ imbalance problem from the hardware design perspective. This method places high demands on the hardware circuitry, leading to higher costs and slower product updates. Another approach is active calibration, which relies on known reference sources (such as calibration signals or spectrum analyzers). However, this requires additional hardware support and cannot be updated in real time, making it only suitable for static error environments and clearly unsuitable for satellite in-orbit environments.
[0004] This invention proposes a scheme for multi-channel QEC correction of digital array antennas that does not rely on hardware design and does not require the support of external reference sources. It uses a feedback-based digital method for mirror QEC correction, which also achieves error correction for both the mirror and local oscillator, with high accuracy and good portability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to overcome at least one of the defects (deficiencies) of the prior art and provide a feedback-based digital QEC correction method for digital arrays, which is used to digitally solve the problems of image and DC correction at the transceiver end of digital array antennas.

[0010] This proposed feedback-based digital QEC correction method accurately describes the error sources 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. The 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. Then, at the receiver, correction is performed 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, employing a feedback mechanism to achieve real-time correction and adapt to dynamic environmental changes. Through high-precision digital correction, it not only improves system performance but also possesses good portability, adapting to different platforms and environments, with low system complexity and cost, and is widely applicable to satellite communication systems and other fields.

This method effectively removes interference components from the signal, ensuring accurate recovery of the signal in both the frequency spectrum and the DC portion, ultimately improving the robustness, stability, and accuracy of the signal processing system.
[0110] Specifically, in this embodiment, a pair of standard transmit and receive ADDAs after external calibration is required.
[0111] For the transmission calibration scheme, a test signal (which can be loaded with a ZC sequence with good autocorrelation) is sequentially transmitted from each transmitter to be calibrated. A standard receiver connected to an RF line receives the digital signal. The parameters of each transmission channel are obtained according to the calculation scheme and then input into the transmission predistortion model to construct the transmission QEC and DC calibration. Continuing to transmit an in-band single-tone signal verifies whether the QEC and DC correction are effective under the predistortion model at this point.
[0112] For the receiver calibration scheme, firstly, a test signal is transmitted using a standard transmitter (ZC signal can also be used). Then, the receiver channels to be calibrated are sequentially connected to the RF lines to receive the sampled digital signals. The parameters of each receiver channel are obtained according to the above calculation scheme, and then substituted into the post-reception distortion model to construct the receiver QEC and DC calibration. After constructing the post-reception distortion model, it can be observed whether the QEC and DC calibration are effective.
[0113] The results obtained by simulation using simulation software according to the method described in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the transmitted signal uses a multi-carrier signal, where the signal appears at intervals of one disk point, allowing for intuitive decomposition and image classification. A distortion channel is set, and models for delay, image, and DC are incorporated to obtain the spectrum of the received signal y. From... Figure 6 Looking at the transmitted signal spectrum x in the upper left figure and the received signal spectrum y in the upper right figure, the image rejection becomes 17dB, while the DC rejection is 27dB. Simulations using the aforementioned scheme yield pre-distortion and post-distortion results, as follows: Figure 6The results in the lower left and lower right corners show that both schemes can significantly improve the image and DC suppression of the channel, with suppression ratios of over 50dB.
[0114] Therefore, the feedback-based digital QEC correction method proposed in this embodiment accurately describes the error sources 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 transmitting end by constructing a pre-distortion model to eliminate image errors and local oscillator leakage caused by IQ imbalance, ensuring signal quality. Then, at the receiving end, it performs correction by constructing a post-distortion model to restore the authenticity of the received signal and reduce the impact of errors. This method does not rely on hardware design or external reference sources, and uses a feedback mechanism to achieve real-time correction, adapting to dynamic environmental changes. Through high-precision digital correction, it not only improves system performance but also has good portability, adapting to different platforms and environments, with low system complexity and cost, and is widely applicable to satellite communication systems and other fields.
