Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a correction method for a digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system, and to an error spectrum cancellation method for a digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system based on multi-channel information interaction, belonging to the fields of broadband signal processing and high-performance digital sampling technology. Background Technology
[0002] In modern broadband signal detection systems, to address the challenge posed by the sudden increase in instantaneous bandwidth to analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system (FIADC) based on the generalized sampling theorem is often employed. This architecture divides the broadband signal into multiple sub-bands using analog filter banks and utilizes a low-speed ADC array for parallel acquisition to alleviate the pressure on individual circuits. However, due to manufacturing limitations, the non-ideal frequency response characteristics of analog filter banks (such as finite stopband suppression) can lead to severe error spectrum interference. Specifically, each sub-channel introduces cross-channel leakage components when acquiring the target signal. These components enter the digital domain during the sampling process, forming complex error spectrum components. Furthermore, after subsequent digital reconstruction operations, the complexity of aliasing components further increases, severely weakening the system's time-frequency accuracy and effective observation bandwidth.
[0003] Traditional digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system correction schemes are mostly based on single-channel digital compensation logic. These methods typically acquire the frequency response of each frequency point of the system through offline frequency sweeping, construct error curves, and use fixed finite impulse response (FIR) filters for amplitude and phase correction. While this scheme has good industrial feasibility, its underlying logic assumes only a linear one-to-one mapping relationship between the system input and output. In scenarios with significant cross-channel aliasing, the output component of a certain channel no longer depends solely on the input component at that frequency, but rather exhibits the result of nonlinear coupling of multiple frequency input components. Traditional one-dimensional compensation methods struggle to establish cross-channel correlation models and cannot fundamentally eliminate the aliasing error spectrum introduced by insufficient filter bank suppression.
[0004] Therefore, there is currently a lack of a method to model cross-channel aliasing caused by the non-ideality of analog filters and to achieve online real-time correction without prior information. How to utilize system identification theory and multi-channel information interaction mechanisms to construct a compensation framework capable of extracting and canceling error spectral components in real time, thereby achieving online, real-time, and effective error spectral elimination, has become a key problem that urgently needs to be solved to improve the dynamic performance of ultra-wideband sampling systems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the error spectrum suppression problem in digital bandwidth interleaved sampling systems under non-ideal analog filtering conditions, this invention aims to provide a multi-channel error spectrum cancellation method for correcting digital bandwidth interleaved sampling systems. Based on offline system identification to establish a global frequency mapping relationship, and combined with an online multi-channel information interaction mechanism, the method adaptively extracts and cancels cross-channel aliasing components to achieve error spectrum suppression in the digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system, thereby improving the spurious-free dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio performance of the system. This invention is applicable to high-dynamic, high-bandwidth sampling applications such as broadband receivers, communication monitoring, electronic reconnaissance, and spectrum monitoring.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0007] The multi-channel error spectrum cancellation method for correcting digital bandwidth interleaved sampling systems disclosed in this invention includes the following steps:

[0016] An adaptive thresholding method is used to construct the frequency-SFDR response curve and extract the error-sensitive region. The calculation results corresponding to all frequency sweep points are then aggregated and mapped to construct the system's full-band performance response characteristic curve. The local mean baseline for this curve is calculated using a sliding window. Therefore, an adaptive decision threshold is defined. ,in This is a preset performance degradation tolerance factor. The factor that satisfies the condition is extracted through logical comparison operations. The frequency set was used to identify regions of performance degradation with significant dips in the curve, which were defined as the error spectral response frequency band intervals. ,in Indicates the identified first A set of consecutive error frequency bands. The frequency range in which the cross-channel aliasing effect is most significant in the system was recorded.

Based on the preset tolerance threshold, all affected frequency intervals corresponding to each error spectrum generation interval are determined. Based on the linear regression of the two types of interval distributions, the frequency mapping relationship between the error spectrum frequency components and the original input frequency components is established.

For each affected interval The error spectrum generation interval is generated by inversely tracing the mapping vector. .
[0023] This characterizes the algebraic coupling relationship between the generating interval and the affected interval. For each pair of mapping intervals...

Detailed Implementation
[0059] To better illustrate the purpose and advantages of the present invention, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0060] Example 1:
[0061] This embodiment discloses a multi-channel error spectrum collaborative cancellation method for correcting a digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system, the structure of which is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown. This embodiment uses a typical digital bandwidth interleaved parallel sampling simulation system with M = 3 channels as the system to be calibrated. The frequency ranges of the three channels are 0~18.5GHz, 18.5GHz~30GHz, and 30GHz~45GHz, respectively. The system achieves a total observation bandwidth of 0~45GHz with a single-channel ADC sampling rate of 40GHz, far exceeding the 20GHz synchronous sampling bandwidth limited by the Nyquist sampling theorem. The analog domain simulation sampling rate is 240GHz, and the digital domain simulation sampling rate is 120GHz. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0062] S1. Error spectrum distribution characteristics and response frequency band identification:
[0063] First, a high-precision single-tone excitation signal sequence is constructed. The system operating frequency band is set to [missing information]. Within this frequency band, frequency intervals are used. Perform step-by-step scanning to generate a monotone sequence. The frequency sweep index is... Each monotone sequence contains 65,536 sampling points at an analog domain simulation sampling rate of 240 GHz.
[0064] The above signal is injected into the system, and an output sequence with a length of 32,768 sampling points is obtained at the digital reconstruction end. .right implement Point Fast Fourier Transform yields the frequency domain sequence. Calculate the power spectral density. The principal component power was obtained through the search. Exclude the area adjacent to the main signal. Then, the power of the maximum error spectral component is extracted. .
[0065] According to the formula The performance metrics for each frequency point were calculated, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 The frequency-SFDR response curve shown Set an adaptive threshold tolerance factor. Using the sliding window mean benchmark Determine the decision threshold By identifying the concave regions in the curve below a threshold, the following set of error spectral response frequency bands is obtained. :
[0066]
[0067] S2. Cross-channel frequency mapping and coupling correlation modeling:
[0068] against Each internal frequency point, with finer stepping. Generate single-tone input. (See attached image) Figure 3 As shown (the figure should display the power spectrum including the principal component and multiple error peaks), in the output power spectrum In the middle, set the tolerance parameters .
[0069] Identify all that meet the requirements Error spectrum peak frequency With input frequency The smooth shift of the error spectrum peaks is recorded, and their frequency trajectories are mapped using a linear fit. Determine the set of affected frequency intervals Its source generates interval sets (and the set of frequency bands for error spectrum response) The mapping relationship between each pair of corresponding frequency intervals in the (consistent) model. For the three pairs of intervals appearing in this embodiment, the following mapping relationships exist:
[0070]
[0071] It can be seen that the mapping coefficients in the three equations All values are -1, meaning that all three pairs of intervals exhibit frequency reversal relationships caused by the variable sampling and frequency conversion links of the digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system.
[0072] S3. Gain response and phase mismatch characterization:
[0073] Using the finely swept frequency output signal sequence obtained in S2 Based on the frequency interval mapping relationship stored in the mapping table, for each pair of source-affected frequency intervals, design two sets of 256th order bandpass FIR digital filters corresponding to all swept frequency points. and Extract the principal component signals respectively. With error spectral component signal .
[0074] Calculate the frequency deviation between the principal component signal and the error spectrum component signal based on the frequency interval mapping relationship. For example, for a mapping relationship of interval pairs, That's equivalent to 40GHz. Constructing a frequency conversion signal. .Will Multiply it and pass it through a low-pass filter After processing and eliminating the mixed copies, a reference signal shifted to the error spectrum frequency is obtained. The analytic signals of both signals are obtained through Hilbert transform. and .
[0075] Calculate the amplitude gain coefficient for each set of analytic signals. Phase mismatch angle These parameters are then encapsulated together with the frequency mapping parameters of S2 to construct a working frequency band coupling mapping table. This table provides complete error cancellation guidance data for subsequent online calibration.
[0076] The complete process included in steps S1, S2, and S3 is attached. Figure 2 As shown.
[0077] S4. Cross-channel error spectrum collaborative cancellation guided by working frequency band coupling mapping table:
[0078] After completing the aforementioned offline system identification and obtaining the working frequency band coupling mapping table containing frequency mapping and amplitude-phase mismatch information, Then, at the simulation sampling rate An online calibration and cancellation model was built for the digital domain of the 120GHz system. The specific calibration process is as follows:
[0079] First, initialize the online cancellation module. According to... The logic recorded in the middle identifies the set of affected frequency intervals. For each set of mapping relationships, this embodiment pre-constructs... =A 256th-order FIR digital filter bank. Among them, the bandpass filter... It is used to extract error source signals, and its passband range strictly corresponds to the error spectrum generation interval. Frequency boundaries; low-pass filter It features a flat passband response and high stopband attenuation, making it suitable for spurious suppression after mixing.
[0080] Secondly, real-time branch extraction of the error source signal is performed. This involves extracting the original discrete sequence to be corrected captured by the system. Input parallel filtering architecture. The raw signal is passed through a bandpass filter. Processing and separating the source component signal that generates the specific error spectrum. :
[0081]
[0082] Among them, index The value range is determined by the simulation step size. This step enables the precise removal of characteristic frequency components that cause cross-channel aliasing in the full-band signal.
[0083] Subsequently, spectrum shifting and alignment were performed based on frequency mapping rules. Frequency offset parameters recorded in Generate a real coefficient cosine reference sequence for mixing. The extracted source component signal A dot product operation is performed with the reference sequence to perform a spectrum shift. The generated signal is then passed through a low-pass filter. Filter out the generated spectral copies to obtain the pre-aligned signal. The frequency spectrum of this signal completely overlaps with the aliasing error spectrum of the original signal.
[0084] Then, fine reconstruction compensation of amplitude and phase characteristics is performed. This is based on the frequency-dependent amplitude and phase mismatch vector obtained in the offline stage. In this embodiment, a set of compensation filter coefficients is fitted using the least squares criterion. The pre-alignment signal By inputting this compensation filter and adjusting the amplitude gain and phase delay of the signal, a high-fidelity estimation error spectrum component is generated. :
[0085]
[0086] Finally, a coordinated subtraction cancellation is performed. This will target the same affected interval. All reconstructed The estimated error spectral components are accumulated in the time domain to obtain the composite error mask signal. The mask signal is subtracted from the original signal after delay alignment to obtain the corrected system output signal. :
[0087]
[0088] in This is the group delay compensation value introduced by the cascading of each filter during the simulation process.
[0089] Step S4 includes the online system calibration process based on online error spectrum cancellation, as shown in the appendix. Figure 3 As shown.
[0090] After correction, for the principal components of the input signal at each frequency point within the error generation interval, the power of the error spectrum signal generated by the system in the output is significantly reduced. For the three error spectrum generation frequency intervals obtained in step S2, which exist in the digital bandwidth interleaved sampling system to be corrected in the embodiment, the embodiment selects one typical frequency point as an example for each interval. Specifically, the system input is set to a single-tone cosine signal at this frequency point, and the output signal power spectrum and spurious-free dynamic range performance before (top) and after (bottom) correction are plotted to demonstrate the error spectrum suppression effect of the present invention on the digital bandwidth interleaved system. It can be seen that after correction, the error spectrum peaks at the three typical frequency points are significantly reduced, and the spurious-free dynamic range is also significantly improved.
[0091] The frequency-spurious-free dynamic range performance curves of the system before and after correction across the entire operating frequency band are attached. Figure 5 As shown, comparing the spurious-free dynamic range curves of the system before and after correction, it can be seen that this embodiment significantly reduces the error spectral power caused by cross-channel aliasing within the system's operating frequency band. The performance degradation of the spurious-free dynamic range caused by the three error spectrum generation frequency ranges obtained in step S2 is eliminated, and the lower limit of the system's spurious-free dynamic range is improved by more than 12dB.
[0092] The above detailed description further illustrates the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the invention. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
