Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a broadband multi-channel analog-to-digital converter calibration method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of 5G and even future 6G communication technologies, signal bandwidth is increasing dramatically, posing unprecedented challenges to the performance of Time-Interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters (TIADCs). In ultra-high bandwidth communication scenarios, traditional TIADC correction methods face severe tests. For example, in base station communication systems, to achieve high-speed transmission of massive amounts of data, signal bandwidth is constantly expanding. Traditional mixed-signal correction methods rely on a large number of hardware components, such as accumulators and multipliers, making system design extremely complex and hardware resource consumption grow exponentially, making it difficult to meet the real-time and high-precision requirements under ultra-high bandwidth conditions. Moreover, in multi-channel TIADC systems, the number of channels increases, and the error coupling relationships between channels become more complex. Traditional methods, which correct through simple mathematical operations—for example, averaging or multiplication—are completely unable to handle these complex nonlinear errors and time dependencies. In large-scale data and high-noise environments, error correction almost fails.

[0003] Secondly, while neural network-based correction methods, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), have shown some effectiveness in previous applications, they also reveal problems in new scenarios. In rapidly changing signal environments, the unidirectional data flow structure commonly used in LSTM and RNN models cannot fully capture the bidirectional temporal correlation between consecutive points. For example, in fast frequency hopping communication signal processing, signal characteristics change rapidly, and unidirectional models cannot fully grasp the signal dynamics, leading to a significant reduction in correction accuracy. Furthermore, under conditions of high precision and complex error characteristics, these neural networks have extremely high computational complexity and extremely slow convergence speed. When faced with large-scale dataset tasks requiring real-time correction, such as the massive data processing in satellite communications, they simply cannot meet the real-time requirements. In addition, they ignore the inherent relationships between sampling results within the same channel, and cannot effectively utilize this information to improve correction accuracy when processing highly correlated multi-channel data.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] The following is combined Figures 1-7 This invention is described.

[0028] This invention mainly addresses the problems of gain error, time error, and bias error in TIADC systems, and proposes a correction method based on bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM) and attention mechanism.

[0029] Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the broadband multi-channel analog-to-digital converter calibration method provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following: Step 101: Sample the input signal through multiple channels to obtain the sampled signal; construct a dataset based on the sampled signal.

[0030] In step 101 above, this application constructs its own dataset to train the neural network. The dataset not only covers single-channel and multi-channel sampled data, but also includes various noise and interference conditions simulated from different transmission environments. This diversity of dataset ensures that the neural network can learn effectively in multiple environments, improving the model's generalization ability.

[0031] Optionally, step 101 includes steps A1 to A3: Step A1: Sample the input signal through multiple channels to obtain the first sampled signal.

[0032] Step A2: Under error-free conditions, sample the input signal through multiple channels to obtain the second sampled signal.

[0033] Step A3: Construct a dataset by matching each sampled value in the first sampled signal with each sampled value in the second sampled signal.

[0034] In steps A1 to A3 above, it is first necessary to model the input signal. For example, the input signal is: .

[0035] When there is When each channel samples the input signal, the sampled signal is obtained through formula (1): (1) Among them, Indicates the gain of each channel; This indicates the sampling delay for each channel; This is the bias error. In summary, these respectively contribute to gain error, time error, and bias error.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, when four channels sample the input signal, the displayed spectrum is a 1GHz sinusoidal signal spectrum of a four-channel TIADC 5GSPS with no error sampling.

[0037] In addition, labels for the error signals are required, therefore the input signal needs to be sampled again without errors, resulting in error-free multi-channel sampling signals. This can be achieved through formula (2): (2) like Figure 3 As shown, when the input signal is sampled by four channels without error, the spectrum of a 1GHz sine wave with error sampling is displayed by a four-channel TIADC 5GSPS.

[0038] The amplitude of the sampling points depends on the design of the input signal, and its value is usually greater than 1. Therefore, before constructing the dataset, this application normalizes the data to [0, 1], as shown in Equation (3). This helps to accelerate model training, prevent certain features from dominating the training process due to excessively large or small values, and enable the model to better learn the relationships between various features.

[0039] (3) After normalization, a dataset will be constructed based on a one-to-one correspondence between the sampled values ​​of the error-free and error-containing TIADC models.

[0040] 70% of the dataset is used as the training set, 20% as the validation set, and 10% as the test set. Each sample includes four channels of sampling data and their corresponding error labels. The dataset not only covers single-channel and multi-channel sampling data but also includes various noise and interference conditions simulated from different transmission environments. This diversity ensures that the neural network can learn effectively in multiple environments, improving the model's generalization ability.

[0041] Step 102: Construct a cross-channel temporal correlation model using a bidirectional long short-term memory network; process the dataset using the cross-channel temporal correlation model to determine the dynamic coupling relationship between gain error and time mismatch between different channels.

[0042] In step 102 above, this application proposes a BiLSTM and attention mechanism-based collaborative correction framework to address the channel mismatch error problem in TIADCs. This framework achieves accurate compensation for channel mismatch errors through multi-dimensional feature fusion.

[0043] Specifically, the input parameters for the BiLSTM are designed as follows: the data dimension input to the BiLSTM in this application is [N, T, M], where N is the channel dimension, T is the time series dimension, which is used by the BiLSTM to capture the dependencies between T sampling points in the channels. M is the size of the feature dimension of each sampling point. Since the focus of this application is on predicting the numerical value of each sampling point, M is set to 1.

[0044] Step 103: Process the dataset by encoding the channel identifiers of the multi-head attention module to determine the channel defect information of each sampling point.

[0045] In step 103 above, the system adopts a dual-modal feature extraction architecture: first, a cross-channel temporal correlation model is constructed through BiLSTM, and its bidirectional propagation characteristics are used to capture the dynamic coupling relationship between gain error and time mismatch between channels; second, a multi-head self-attention mechanism is introduced, and the channel information of the sampling point is retained through position encoding technology, effectively identifying inherent channel defects such as bias error and nonlinear distortion.

[0046] Optionally, step 103 includes steps B1 to B3: Step B1: Introduce channel identifier encoding in the multi-head attention module.

[0047] Step B2: Embed channel-specific feature vectors in the dataset through channel identifier encoding, and determine the channel mapping relationship of sampling points through the channel-specific feature vectors; where the channel mapping relationship of sampling points refers to the mapping relationship between each sampling point and the channel to which the sampling point belongs.

[0048] Step B3: Determine the channel defect information of each sampling point through the multi-head attention module and the channel mapping relationship of the sampling point.

[0049] In steps B1 to B3 above, to achieve accurate modeling of the inherent properties of the sampling channels, this application introduces channel identity encoding in the multi-head attention module. By embedding channel-specific feature vectors into the input sequence, a mapping relationship between sampling points and their source channels is established. This encoding mechanism adopts an orthogonal vector space design to ensure that the feature representations of different channels are statistically independent.

[0050] Optionally, step B3 includes steps B31 to B32: Step B31: The multi-head attention module is used to perform feature decoupling on the channel mismatch error by employing a multi-head attention mechanism to obtain specific error information corresponding to different error types in the channel mismatch error; among which, the channel mismatch error includes: bias error sensing head, gain error sensing head, and time mismatch sensing head; Step B32: Determine the channel defect information of different error types for each sampling point by using the sampling point channel mapping relationship and specific error information.

[0051] In steps B31 to B32 above, this application adopts a three-head attention mechanism (Head=3) to decouple features for three typical channel mismatch errors: bias error sensing head, gain error sensing head, and time mismatch sensing head. Each attention head contains an independent feature learning space. By jointly optimizing the mapping matrix of query-key-value triples (Q, K, V), selective attention to specific error types is achieved, specifically through the following formula (4).

[0052] (4) Where dk is the dimension of the key vector, this application sets dk = dk / Head to maintain computational stability.

[0053] Step 104: Fuse the dynamic coupling relationship between channels and the channel defect information to obtain the fusion characteristics; correct the joint large model based on the fusion characteristics, and calibrate the output results of the multi-channel analog-to-digital converter through the joint model.

[0054] In step 104 above, this application adopts a parallel design architecture for the BiLSTM network and the attention mechanism: the BiLSTM and the attention mechanism process the original input data simultaneously, and then the outputs of the two are fused. For example, the feature dimension of the BiLSTM output is... The feature dimension output by the multi-head attention mechanism is By fusing the two features, the dimension of the fused feature is: The resulting fusion incorporates both the dynamic coupling relationships between channels and the inherent defects of each channel itself.

[0055] Optionally, the joint large model includes a bidirectional long short-term memory network and a multi-head attention module. Step 104, which corrects the joint large model based on the fusion features, includes steps C1 to C2: Step C1: Calculate the prediction difference between the model prediction value and the true error value based on the fusion features of the input using the loss function.

[0056] Step C2: Update the parameters of the bidirectional long short-term memory network and the multi-head attention module according to the backpropagation algorithm and the prediction difference to obtain the corrected joint large model.

[0057] In steps C1 and C2 above, the fused features are input into subsequent fully connected layers for further processing. During training, based on the labels, a loss function, for example, the mean squared error loss function, is used to calculate the difference between the model's predicted values ​​and the true error values. Then, through the backpropagation algorithm, the parameters of the BiLSTM, the multi-head attention mechanism, and subsequent layers are updated, continuously adjusting the model to minimize the loss function.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The diagram shown is the design architecture diagram of this application.

[0059] To verify the practical application effect of the proposed BiLSTM-Attention correction model, hardware-based RTL verification was performed. By converting the trained neural network model into a Hardware Description Language (HDL), we implemented hardware acceleration of the TIADC correction algorithm on an FPGA platform. The purpose of RTL verification is to test whether the designed hardware circuit can achieve the expected correction effect in practical applications and to verify the system's real-time performance. By inputting TIADC sampled data into the hardware platform and processing it in real time, the corrected output result was obtained and compared with the theoretical model, confirming the effectiveness of the BiLSTM model on the hardware platform.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The RTL verification design flowchart is shown.

[0061] This application employs a parallel connection of BiLSTM and multi-head attention to correct errors in TIADC. BiLSTM focuses on the temporal sampling sequences between channels, addressing gain and timing errors; simultaneously, multi-head attention focuses on the same sampling channels, resolving inherent channel defects such as bias errors and nonlinear distortion. The extracted features are then fused for comprehensive fitting.

[0062] BiLSTM not only possesses powerful nonlinear modeling capabilities, effectively handling complex nonlinear errors and time-dependent issues, thus overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods in effectively addressing such problems, but also exhibits low computational complexity and fast convergence speed. While improving correction accuracy, it ensures real-time performance, overcoming the problems of existing neural network methods, such as high computational complexity and slow convergence speed, which make it difficult to meet real-time correction requirements under high-precision and complex error characteristics.

[0063] BiLSTM considers the temporal correlation of both forward and backward traffic simultaneously through bidirectional data flow, enabling it to comprehensively capture the complex relationship between gain error and time error. The introduced attention mechanism, connected in parallel with BiLSTM, can pay more attention to sampled data from the same channel, taking into account the intrinsic relationship between sampled results in the same channel, which is lacking in existing neural network correction methods, thus further improving correction accuracy.

[0064] This invention provides a broadband multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) calibration method. The method involves sampling the input signal through multiple channels to obtain sampled signals; constructing a dataset based on the sampled signals; building a cross-channel temporal correlation model using a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) network; processing the dataset using the cross-channel temporal correlation model to determine the dynamic coupling relationship between gain error and time mismatch across different channels; processing the dataset using channel identifier encoding by a multi-head attention module to determine channel defect information at each sampling point; fusing the dynamic coupling relationship between channels and the channel defect information to obtain fused features; correcting the joint large model based on the fused features; and calibrating the output of the multi-channel ADC using the joint model. The bidirectional LSM network effectively handles complex nonlinear errors and temporal correlations, improving calibration accuracy while ensuring real-time performance. The parallel connection of the multi-head attention module and the bidirectional LSM network allows for greater attention to sampled data from the same channels, further improving calibration accuracy.

Figure 6 As shown, the device includes the following: The dataset construction module 601 is used to sample the input signal through multiple channels to obtain the sampled signal; and to construct a dataset based on the sampled signal.
