Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of signal pre-correction, particularly to a UHF signal dynamic pre-correction method and system for ground digital television. BACKGROUND

[0002] The UHF signal dynamic pre-correction method and system for ground digital television is a technical solution designed to address the problem of multipath interference and fading that may occur in modern digital television signal transmission. Through this system, the characteristics of the received UHF signal, such as signal strength, phase shift, and time delay, can be monitored and analyzed in real time, and dynamic correction can be performed using pre-set algorithms and models to improve the signal quality and stability at the receiving end.

[0003] The current market UHF signal dynamic pre-correction method for ground digital television is limited in detecting signal separation and extracting distortion characteristics, usually using basic signal processing technology, which is difficult to accurately capture the nonlinear distortion characteristics of signals in complex environments. This leads to the fact that they may not be able to accurately predict and adjust signal distortion during the pre-correction process, thereby affecting the final transmission quality and stability. In addition, the pre-correction method commonly used in existing systems often lacks effective closed-loop control mechanisms, and cannot monitor and respond to actual performance changes in signal transmission in real time. This makes it difficult for the system to adjust the correction strategy in real time when faced with dynamic channel conditions or external interference, thereby affecting its ability to adapt to complex environments and its sustained stability. In addition, some traditional systems lack the ability to analyze the frequency domain and model the time domain of signals during preprocessing, limiting their accuracy and precision in capturing signal dynamic changes and nonlinear distortion characteristics.

[0062] The pre-correction signal module inputs the real-time collected television data signal into the pre-distortion function to generate a pre-correction signal.

[0063] The closed-loop control module is used to monitor the performance of the output signal in real time, and dynamically adjust the pre-distortion function parameters or the pre-correction strength through a feedback loop and a PID control.

[0064] The processor is used to process the calculation process of each formula and the construction calculation process of each model.

[0065] Referring to Figure 1 The UHF signal dynamic pre-correction method for ground digital television shown in the figure comprises:

[0066] Step one: real-time collection of a probe signal sequence in a UHF frequency band, extraction of a pilot sequence in the signal as a reference benchmark, and acquisition of an actual output signal after processing by a power amplifier;

[0070] Step five: input of the real-time collected television data signal into the pre-distortion function based on the acquired pre-distortion function, output of a pre-correction signal, and dynamic adjustment of the pre-correction strength through a closed-loop control mechanism.

[0071] Referring to Figure 2 The real-time collection of a probe signal sequence in a UHF frequency band, the extraction of a pilot sequence in the signal as a reference benchmark, and the acquisition of an actual output signal after processing by a power amplifier specifically comprises:

[0072] A directional coupler is configured at the output end of the power amplifier to extract a mixed feedback signal containing the probe signal and the television signal;

[0073] The collected feedback signal is converted into a digital signal stream;

[0074] According to the predefined frame synchronization header, the time slot starting position of the probe signal is determined, the pure pilot component is separated through quadrature demodulation, the reference reference signal is output through phase calibration and amplitude normalization;

[0075] The complex analytic form of the power amplifier output signal is output, and the actual output signal is obtained through signal alignment processing.

[0076] Specifically, a directional coupler is configured at the output end of the power amplifier, which is used to extract a mixed feedback signal containing the probe signal and the television signal from the output signal. The directional coupler extracts part of the output signal through the coupling port while maintaining the main signal transmission. The analog feedback signal extracted through the directional coupler is converted into a digital signal stream for subsequent digital signal processing.

[0077] The predefined frame synchronization header sequence is searched in the digital signal stream, the cross-correlation of the signal and the frame synchronization header is calculated, the peak position is found, and the time slot starting point is determined.

[0078] The pilot component of the probe signal is separated from the mixed signal through quadrature demodulation, and the signal segment of the time slot where the probe signal is located is extracted based on the time slot starting point. The signal is multiplied by the local carrier using quadrature demodulation to separate the in-phase and quadrature components. The two components are low-pass filtered to remove high-frequency components to obtain the baseband pilot signal, where the in-phase component and the quadrature component formula are:

[0079] I[n]=s pilot [n]·cos(2πf c nT s )

[0080] Q[n]=s pilot [n]·sin(2πf c nT s )

[0081] Where I[n] is the in-phase component, Q[n] is the quadrature component, s pilot [n] is the signal segment of the time slot where the probe signal is located, f c is the local carrier, i.e. the frequency, T s is the sampling period, and n is the sampling point index.

[0082] The separated pilot component is phase calibrated and amplitude normalized to generate a reference reference signal. The power amplifier output signal is processed through the complex analytic signal representation to generate the actual output signal in the complex analytic form.

[0083] Referring to Figure 3 , based on the sparse Fourier transform algorithm, the actual output signal is separated into a probe signal component and a television data signal component, which specifically includes:

[0084] Based on the acquired actual output signal, data preprocessing is performed, and the frequency spectrum of the signal is divided into multiple "buckets", each bucket representing a group of frequency ranges;

[0085] A discrete Fourier transform is performed on each bucket to convert the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain;

[0086] The main frequency components of the signal are obtained based on the matching pursuit algorithm in the frequency domain representation, and the frequency components in the signal are separated;

[0087] The frequency band components of the probe signal that match the frequency spectrum distribution of the probe signal in the frequency domain are extracted, and the frequency components related to the television data signal are extracted from the frequency domain;

[0088] Based on the extracted frequency band components, inverse sparse Fourier transforms are respectively performed to restore the frequency domain signal to the time domain, and the probe signal component and the television data signal component are obtained.

[0089] Specifically, the frequency spectrum of the actual output signal is divided into multiple "buckets", each bucket corresponding to a frequency range. According to the frequency range of each bucket, the signal component of the corresponding frequency is extracted through a band-pass filter, and a discrete Fourier transform is applied to each bucket signal segment to obtain a frequency domain representation;

[0090] In the frequency domain representation of each bucket, a dictionary is constructed, containing possible frequency basis functions, and the frequency basis functions that best match the signal are iteratively selected to extract the main frequency components. According to the known spectral distribution characteristics of the probe signal and the television signal, the respective frequency components are separated. The matching pursuit iteration formula is:

[0091]

[0092] where S k [m] is the frequency domain representation of each bucket, m is the frequency index, d i [m] is the i-th frequency basis function in the dictionary, is the complex conjugate of d i [m];

[0093] According to the known spectral characteristics of the probe signal (such as bandwidth, center frequency), the frequency band components of the probe signal are extracted from the frequency domain representation of each bucket, and according to the spectral characteristics of the television signal (such as modulation method, bandwidth), the frequency band components of the television signal are extracted;

[0094] Inverse sparse Fourier transforms are applied to the probe signal frequency domain components and the television signal frequency domain components to restore the corresponding time domain signals, and the time domain signals of all buckets are combined to obtain the complete probe signal component and the television signal component.

[0095] Referring to Figure 4As shown, based on the separated probe signal components, distortion feature extraction is performed, and a nonlinear distortion parameter matrix is calculated, including amplitude-phase conversion coefficients, amplitude-amplitude conversion gradients, memory effect depth factors, and intermodulation product distribution weights, specifically including:

[0096] Based on the offset of the output signal phase of the probe signal component relative to the input signal, the amplitude-phase conversion coefficient is obtained by fitting the data points with a cubic polynomial;

[0097] Based on the amplitude variation rate of the probe signal component, the amplitude-amplitude conversion gradient is calculated;

[0098] The memory effect depth factor is calculated based on the third-order cross-correlation algorithm;

[0099] Extract the intermodulation component in the probe signal component, and calculate the intermodulation product power ratio by combining the subcarriers of the probe signal two by two to obtain the intermodulation product distribution weight matrix;

[0100] Based on the above obtained parameter data, a nonlinear distortion parameter matrix is constructed.

[0101] Specifically, the offset of the probe signal output phase relative to the input signal reflects the phase distortion characteristics of the nonlinear system, and the amplitude-phase conversion coefficient is obtained by calculating the phase difference between the input probe signal and the output signal and fitting a cubic polynomial;

[0102] Based on the first derivative calculation of the input and output amplitude relationship, it can be approximately obtained by fitting method, and the calculation result is the amplitude-amplitude conversion gradient;

[0103] By constructing a third-order cross-correlation function, the delay order corresponding to the maximum correlation value is obtained, which is the memory effect depth factor;

[0104] The probe signal contains multiple subcarriers, the intermodulation frequency is calculated for all combinations, the power of the intermodulation component at the corresponding frequency is extracted, the total intermodulation power is normalized to form an intermodulation product power ratio matrix, and an intermodulation product distribution weight matrix is obtained;

[0105] Integrate all kinds of nonlinear parameters to form a comprehensive modeling matrix that describes the behavior of the power amplifier.

[0106] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, based on the time-domain-frequency-domain double channel of the double-loop convolutional neural network, the nonlinear distortion parameter matrix is input into the model as an input feature for learning and training to obtain a predistortion function, specifically including:

[0107] Construct a time-domain-frequency-domain double channel based on a double-loop convolutional neural network;

[0108] The time domain channel extracts the memory effect time delay feature through a causal convolution layer, and the length of the convolution kernel is associated with the thermal time constant of the power amplifier.

[0109] The frequency domain channel learns the frequency domain intermodulation response through a complex convolution layer, and fuses the time-frequency features in the output layer.

[0110] Based on the obtained nonlinear distortion parameter matrix, it is input into the time domain-frequency domain double channel for learning training.

[0111] The pre-distortion function is generated through the time domain-frequency domain double channel learning.

[0112] Specifically, the purpose of the time domain channel is to capture the nonlinear distortion characteristics of the signal in the time domain, and to extract the memory effect time delay feature of the power amplifier. The input signal is processed through causal convolution operation, and the length of the convolution kernel is associated with the thermal time constant of the power amplifier. Causal convolution means that the output signal depends on the current and previous input, and the formula is:

[0113]

[0114] Where x(t) is the input signal, y(t) is the output signal, w k is the convolution kernel, and L is the length of the convolution kernel.

[0115] The frequency domain channel is used to capture the frequency domain characteristics of the signal, especially the frequency domain intermodulation response of the power amplifier. The frequency domain channel uses complex convolution operation to process the frequency domain characteristics of the input signal. Complex convolution is more suitable for complex signal processing, especially for intermodulation distortion problems, and the formula is:

[0116]

[0117] Where f(f) is the frequency domain representation of the input signal, y f (f) is the frequency domain output signal, W k is the complex convolution kernel, and L f is the length of the frequency domain convolution kernel.

[0118] After the time domain channel and the frequency domain channel extract the time domain and frequency domain features respectively, the time-frequency features are fused in the output layer through weighted summation or splicing.

[0119] Based on the learned nonlinear distortion parameter matrix, a pre-distortion function is generated, which is designed to compensate for the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier.

[0120] Referring to Figure 6 Based on the obtained pre-distortion function, the real-time collected television data signal is input into the pre-distortion function, and the pre-correction signal is output, and the pre-correction strength is dynamically adjusted through a closed loop control mechanism, which specifically includes:

[0121] Based on the acquired pre-distortion function, the real-time acquisition acquired television data signal is inputted into the pre-distortion function;

[0122] The pre-distortion function generates the corresponding pre-correction signal according to the nonlinear distortion characteristics of the input signal, and preliminarily verifies the characteristics of the output pre-correction signal;

[0123] A closed-loop control mechanism is constructed to monitor the performance of the output signal in real time, and the error between the actual output signal and the target signal is collected through the feedback loop;

[0124] Based on the error analysis, the parameters or pre-correction strength of the pre-distortion function are dynamically adjusted through the PID control.

[0125] Specifically, at the output end of the system, the error between the output signal and the target signal is monitored, and the error information is fed back to the control system in real time through the feedback loop. The error is inputted into the PID controller, and the PID controller generates an adjustment signal according to the error, its derivative and integral part.

[0126] In each cycle, the system continues to monitor the error between the output signal and the target signal, and continuously adjusts the parameters of the pre-distortion function according to the PID control algorithm.
