[0034] Further, the channel amplitude inconsistency caused by the LNA / PA gain difference and the PCB loss unevenness, the channel phase inconsistency caused by the wiring length difference and the device group time delay fluctuation, and the channel time delay inconsistency caused by the digital signal processing delay difference are injected into each channel through the built-in test signal source, the error is measured and a compensation table is generated, the LMS algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the weighting coefficient, and the error is corrected in real time. In the PCB layout, the serpentine wiring is used to match the channel length and reduce the time delay difference.

[0035] The receive channel processing module 3.1.1 is connected to the first compensation branch of the consistency compensation module; The receive channel processing module 3.1.1 includes an ADC unit, a digital down-conversion unit, a low-pass filter unit, and a decimation filter unit. The ADC unit is configured to convert an analog radio frequency signal into a digital signal. The digital down-conversion unit is configured to receive a local oscillator signal output by the DDS module, and mix the digital signal to reduce the high frequency signal to an intermediate frequency or a baseband. The low-pass filter unit is configured to filter out the image frequency components after mixing. The decimation filter unit is configured to reduce the signal sampling rate, reduce the amount of subsequent processing data, and suppress aliasing noise. The first compensation branch is configured to perform I / Q imbalance correction on the mixed signal in the receive channel, and correct the amplitude imbalance and phase imbalance of the in-phase / quadrature branches in the digital down-conversion unit.

[0036] Specifically, the DC unit converts analog radio frequency signals, such as intermediate frequency signals after down-conversion of W-band 77-81 GHz, a typical value of 4 GHz, into digital signals, a sampling rate ≥ 5 GSPS, meeting the Nyquist sampling theorem, avoiding aliasing, a resolution of 14 bits, ENOB ≥ 10 bits, a dynamic range ≥ 60 dB, an input bandwidth ≥ 6 GHz, and supporting direct sampling of intermediate frequency signals of a superheterodyne receiver architecture. A time-interleaved ADC array, such as 4 channels x 1.25 GSPS, is used to achieve high-speed sampling by clock phase offset, reduce the difficulty of single-chip design, integrate an input buffer, such as an op-amp with SFDR ≥ 80 dB, and suppress the influence of analog front-end noise on the signal-to-noise ratio of the ADC.

[0037] The digital down-conversion unit receives the local oscillator signal output by the DDS module, such as 4 GHz, and mixes it with the digital signal output by the ADC to reduce the high-frequency signal to intermediate frequency IF or baseband BB. The linearity of the mixer IP3 ≥ 30 dBm avoids intermodulation distortion caused by strong interference signals. The resolution of the numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) is ≤ 1 μHz.

[0038] The mixing algorithm uses a complex multiplier (I / Q two-way parallel processing) to achieve signal spectrum shifting: I out =I ADC ·cos(2πf LO t)-Q ADC ·sin(2πf LO t); Q out =I ADC ·sin(2πf LO t)+Q ADC ·cos(2πf LO t); The NCO phase accumulator is 32 bits wide, supporting a maximum frequency synthesis range of half the sampling rate.

[0039] The low-pass filter unit filters out the image frequency components after mixing. The cutoff frequency is ≤ 200 MHz, matching the bandwidth of the subsequent beamforming module, and the stopband attenuation is ≥ 80 dB, suppressing image interference. A combination of cascaded integrator comb (CIC) and half-band (HB) filters is used. The CIC filter achieves a large decimation ratio, reducing computational complexity; the HB filter compensates for the passband attenuation of the CIC filter, optimizing the stopband characteristics.

[0040] The decimation filter unit reduces the signal sampling rate, reduces the amount of subsequent processing data and suppresses aliasing noise. The decimation factor is 16, which meets the data rate requirements of the beamforming module, the anti-aliasing attenuation is ≥60 dB, which ensures the signal quality, and a multi-stage filter cascade (such as CIC, HB, FIR) is used to reduce the sampling rate while maintaining signal integrity. The integrated dynamic bit width adjustment function automatically optimizes the data bit width according to the signal amplitude, reducing storage and transmission overhead.

[0041] Further, the amplitude imbalance and phase imbalance of the I / Q branch in the digital down-conversion unit are corrected, typical error amplitude imbalance ±1 dB, phase imbalance ±5°, wherein the I / Q path gain / phase inconsistency of the LNA / mixer causes analog front-end mismatch, and the ADC sampling clock offset and DDC mixer coefficient error cause digital processing mismatch.

[0042] The I / Q branch signal can be expressed as: I(t)=A I ·cos(ωt+Φ I ),Q(t)=A Q ·sin(ωt+Φ Q ); The amplitude imbalance ε and the phase imbalance Δφ are defined as: ε=20log 10 ( A I / A Q ),ΔΦ=Φ I -Φ Q -90°; The Q branch gain is adjusted by a multiplier: Q corr (t)=Q(t)· A I / A Q ; The Q branch phase is adjusted by a Hilbert transform or an all-pass filter: Qcorr(t)=Q(t)·cos(ΔΦ)-I(t)·sin(ΔΦ); The LMS algorithm is used to dynamically estimate the error parameters: w(n+1)=w(n)+μ·e(n)·x(n); Wherein, w is the error vector, μ is the step factor, and e(n) is the error signal.

[0043] The receiving beamforming module 3.1.2 is connected with the second compensation branch of the consistency compensation module, and the second compensation branch is used for performing digital phase compensation on the multi-channel baseband signal before synthesis, and correcting the phase deviation caused by packaging parasitic parameters.

[0044] Specifically, the receive beam forming module combines the signals received by multiple antennas into a directional beam, similar to focusing sunlight with a concave mirror, and is connected to the second compensation branch of the consistency compensation module. The second compensation branch corrects the signal delay introduced by the antenna packaging materials such as plastic, metal and circuit traces, similar to adjusting the time difference between multiple watches to ensure synchronization. In a 5G base station, if the signals of 8 antennas are phase-shifted by 5° due to packaging parasitic parameters, the beam direction will be offset, and after compensation, the beam can accurately point to the user's mobile phone.

[0045] The transmit beam forming module 3.2.1 is connected to the third compensation branch of the consistency compensation module; The transmit beam forming module 3.2.1 includes a weight calculation unit and a channel correction unit; The weight calculation unit is used to generate amplitude and phase weighting coefficients corresponding to single-beam, multi-beam or anti-interception mode; The channel correction unit is used to compensate the amplitude and phase errors of multiple transmit channels to avoid beam pointing deviation and side lobe level rise; The third compensation branch is used to perform gain drift suppression on the weighted transmit signal, and adjusts the channel gain fluctuation caused by temperature change and device aging in the package through digital feedback.

[0046] Specifically, the transmit beam forming module generates directional transmit signals such as radar beams or mobile phone signals. The weight calculation unit generates different beam modes according to requirements, single-beam = concentrated transmission, multi-beam = wide coverage, and anti-interception = frequency hopping transmission. The channel correction unit corrects the amplitude and phase errors of multiple transmit channels, such as a signal amplifier with a gain of 3dB higher than other channels. If not corrected, the beam will be skewed, the main lobe will be pointing in the wrong direction, and the side lobe energy will increase. The transmit beam forming module is connected to the third compensation branch of the consistency compensation module, and the third compensation branch dynamically adjusts the signal strength through digital feedback to compensate for temperature changes or device aging in the package.

[0047] The transmit channel processing module 3.2.2 is connected to the fourth compensation branch of the consistency compensation module; The transmit channel processing module 3.2.2 includes an interpolation filter unit, a digital up-conversion unit, a DAC unit, and a digital pre-distortion unit; The interpolation filter unit is used to insert sampling points to improve the signal data rate to adapt to the requirements of the DAC unit and up-conversion; The digital up-conversion unit is used to receive the carrier signal output by the DDS module and modulate the baseband signal to the transmit carrier frequency; The digital pre-distortion unit is used to generate a compensation signal to offset the non-linear distortion of the subsequent power amplifier; The fourth compensation branch is used for performing I / Q imbalance correction on the signal after digital up-conversion, so as to suppress the secondary distortion product caused by the nonlinearity of the W-band mixer.

[0048] Specifically, the interpolation filter unit inserts additional sampling points in the signal, such as increasing the sampling rate from 1 GHz to 4 GHz, so as to make the signal smoother and match the subsequent high-speed DAC and up-conversion requirements; the digital up-conversion unit moves the baseband signal (0 Hz~100 MHz) to the transmission frequency band; the DAC unit converts the digital signal to an analog signal for the RF circuit to process; and the digital pre-distortion unit generates a compensation signal in advance, which is opposite to the non-linear distortion of the power amplifier, such as stretching the amplitude in advance when the amplifier compresses the amplitude at high voltage.

[0049] The fourth compensation branch performs I / Q imbalance correction on the signal after digital up-conversion, and focuses on solving the nonlinearity problem of the W-band mixer. The W-band signal is extremely sensitive to hardware defects. The inconsistency of the I / Q path amplitude in the mixer, such as the I path gain being 2 dB higher than the Q path or the phase deviation, such as the Q path lagging 3°, will produce secondary distortion products, such as spurious signals at the target frequency ± 2 times the frequency. In vehicle-mounted radar, spurious signals may be misdetected as obstacles; in satellite communication, it will interfere with adjacent frequency bands. By dynamically adjusting the amplitude and phase of the I / Q signal, such as increasing the Q path gain by 2 dB and advancing the phase by 3°, the synthesized signal is pure. Adjust the left and right volume and delay of the dual-channel sound to eliminate echo interference.

[0050] JESD204C is a protocol for transceivers to connect digital processing devices through a serial interface. The JESD204C transmitter combines parallel data from the ADC into data frames and outputs serial data using 64B / 66B encoding and data scrambling techniques. The JESD204C receiver is the reverse process of the JESD204C transmitter. The JESD204C hardware data flow from sample input to physical output can be divided into transmission layer, data link layer and physical layer. The data frames assembled in the transmission layer are sent through the link in the form of 8 octet blocks. The data link layer is based on the 64B / 66B encoding scheme of IEEE802.3, which cooperates with the scrambling technique to maintain direct current balance and ensure sufficient data variation, so that the clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit in the JESD204C receiver can reliably recover the clock. The physical layer is composed of high-speed serialization circuits with a clock frequency of serial clock rate. In this layer, parallel data is converted into high-speed differential serial data of the channel.

[0051] The DDS module 3.3 adopts any one of the following architectures: The centralized frequency source architecture provides the same source LO / carrier signal for all transceiver channels through a power division network, ensuring frequency consistency. The distributed frequency source architecture configures an independent DDS subunit for each transceiving channel, and maintains the phase consistency of each subunit through a synchronization mechanism, and the frequency resolution reaches the Hz level or the mHz level, wherein the synchronization mechanism comprises a phase calibration mechanism based on a shared reference clock and a 1PPS synchronization pulse.

[0052] Specifically, the centralized frequency source architecture uses a single high-performance DDS chip to generate a local oscillator / carrier signal, and distributes the signal to all transceiving channels through a power division network. All channels share the same clock source, and the phase noise and frequency error are completely the same, such as phase noise <-120dBc / Hz@10kHz. Only one DDS chip and a power divider are required, which is low in cost and low in power consumption, and is suitable for scenarios with a large number of channels, such as 64T64R 5G base stations.

[0053] The distributed frequency source architecture configures an independent DDS subunit for each transceiving channel, and maintains the phase consistency of each subunit through a synchronization mechanism, and the frequency resolution reaches the Hz level or the mHz level, wherein the synchronization mechanism comprises a phase calibration mechanism based on a shared reference clock and a 1PPS synchronization pulse.

[0055] Specifically, the cold plate acts as an active heat dissipation medium, and conducts the heat of the radio frequency direct sampling transceiver module, the digital beamformer module, the FPGA module and the frequency synthesizer module to an external heat sink through circulating cooling liquid such as ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The thermal resistance is <0.1°C / W, which ensures that the module temperature is stable below 65°C, the flow resistance is <50kPa, which is suitable for the pressure range of a micro pump, and the pressure resistance is >3MPa, which prevents the leakage of the cooling liquid.

[0056] The surface of the cold plate can be plated with nickel, and the module substrate can be adhered through heat-conducting glue, which is suitable for low-power scenarios such as the frequency synthesizer module; or a micron-level flow channel can be etched in the cold plate, such as 200μm wide x 500μm deep, to increase the heat exchange area, which is suitable for high-power modules such as the FPGA module, and the power consumption can reach 50W; or an embedded cold plate can be selected, which embeds the cold plate into the internal PCB of the module, such as below the ADC / DAC chip of the radio frequency direct sampling transceiver module, to realize local precise heat dissipation.

[0057] The thickness of the heat-conducting gasket of the radio frequency direct sampling module needs to be accurate to 0.5±0.1 mm, so as to avoid cracking of the ADC chip due to uneven pressure. A nano coating such as silicon dioxide is sprayed on the surface of the cold plate and the module to reduce the contact thermal resistance. The heat-conducting gasket is fixed by vacuum adsorption tooling to prevent air bubbles from being generated during assembly.

[0058] The optical module realizes high-speed data transmission, with a rate supporting 400Gbps (8x56Gbps PAM4) or 800Gbps (16x56Gbps PAM4), an interface standard being QSFP-DD or OSFP, and a power consumption being <15W. The radio frequency direct sampling module is connected with the digital beamformer to realize real-time transmission of 128-channel raw sampling data. The power connector realizes high-density power supply, with a current capacity supporting 100A per channel, meeting the peak power consumption demand of the FPGA module, an isolation voltage being >3kV to prevent digital ground and analog ground interference, a plugging life being >5000 times to adapt to fast maintenance scenarios. The radio frequency seat realizes low-loss signal transmission, with a frequency range being DC~40GHz, covering the 5G millimeter wave frequency band, an insertion loss being <0.5dB@28GHz, and a VSWR being <1.2:1 to ensure impedance matching. The MPC (Metal Post Connector) technology is used to integrate the radio frequency seat with the PCB, reducing parasitic capacitance.
