[0024] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the utility model, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0025] See attached Figures 1 to 2 , a multi-channel shortwave modem, comprising: an FPGA main control chip 1, a plurality of channel ports 2, a plurality of audio codecs 3, a plurality of operational amplifiers 4, a plurality of PTT control circuits 5, a network transformer 6, an Ethernet chip 7, an AC220V power interface 11 and an AC-DC power module 12;

[0026] The FPGA main control chip 1 is the core of the system and is responsible for executing the modulation and demodulation algorithm of the signal, processing user instructions, controlling the data flow, and managing the communication with the external interface. In this embodiment, the FPGA main control chip 1 adopts the JFM7K325T chip produced by Fudan Microelectronics.

[0027] The channel port 2 provides a physical connection point, supports the input and output of 4-wire balanced audio signals and PTT control signals, and is used to connect multiple shortwave radio stations; the number of the channel ports 2 is 2 to 10, preferably 8. The eight-channel interface design is adopted, which can simultaneously process the input and output of eight balanced audio signals.

[0028] The audio codec 3 corresponds to the channel port 2 one by one, and the FPGA main control chip 1 is connected to the audio codec 3 through the I2S interface to control the digital to analog conversion and reverse conversion of the audio signal. The audio codec 3 uses the ES8388 AD / DA conversion chip as the core chip. The audio codec 3 can convert digital audio signals into analog signals for transmission by the shortwave radio station, and convert analog signals received by the shortwave radio station into digital signals for FPGA processing.

[0029] The operational amplifier 4 is an SGM8261 operational amplifier 4. The audio codec 3 is connected to the corresponding channel port 2 through the operational amplifier 4. The SGM8261 operational amplifier 4 is used to amplify the audio signal to ensure the quality and strength of the audio signal during transmission.

[0030] The PTT control circuit 5 corresponds to the channel port 2 one by one, and the FPGA main control chip 1 is connected to the PTT control circuit 5 through the IO interface. The FPGA main control chip 1 directly manages the PTT signal through the PTT control circuit 5 to control the transmission state of the shortwave radio station. At the same time, the PTT control circuit 5 is connected to the channel port 2 through an optical coupling circuit for electrical isolation to prevent interference factors such as high voltage, surge, and noise from being reversely transmitted from the radio side to the PTT control circuit 5 to protect the system.

[0031] The multi-channel shortwave modem of this embodiment can connect multiple shortwave radio stations and realize multitasking. The modulation waveforms provided include: frequency shift keying (FSK) data transmission, multi-carrier parallel data transmission, single-carrier serial data transmission, orthogonal spread spectrum (QSS) data transmission, and single-carrier frequency domain equalization broadband high-speed data transmission. Each channel supports 4-wire balanced transmission, which can effectively reduce signal loss and noise interference during transmission. In addition, each channel also has the output function of PTT (Push-to-Talk) control signal, allowing the user to control the transmission status of the shortwave radio station through keying operation. This design greatly improves the communication efficiency and reliability of the equipment and meets the needs of complex communication scenarios.

[0032] The network transformer 6 is a SG24301G network transformer 6, and the Ethernet chip is a RTL8211F Ethernet chip 7.

One end of the CH341 chip 9 is connected to the debug serial port 10, and the other end is connected to the FPGA main control chip 1 through the USB interface. The FPGA main control chip 1 is connected through the USB interface to provide a debugging interface for debugging and configuration of the device.

[0034] The power interface is an AC220V power interface 11, and the power module is an AC-DC power module 12. The AC220V power interface 11 is electrically connected to the FPGA main control chip 1 and / or the audio codec 3 and / or the PTT control circuit 5 through the AC-DC power module 12. The AC220V power interface 11 and the AC-DC power module 12 provide the power required by the system, converting the external 220V alternating current into the low-voltage direct current required by the internal circuit, and providing power for all the above components.

[0035] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solution of the multi-channel shortwave modem, a brief description of its data sending process and data receiving process is given:

[0036] During the data transmission process, the user issues a data transmission instruction through the data network port 8, and the instruction is transmitted to the FPGA main control chip 1 through the RTL8211F Ethernet chip 7 and the SG24301G network transformer 6; the FPGA main control chip 1 runs the signal modulation algorithm according to the received instruction, generates the corresponding digital audio signal, and sends it to the ES8388 audio codec 3 through the I2S interface; the ES8388 audio codec 3 converts the digital signal into an analog signal, amplifies it through the SGM8261 operational amplifier 4, and outputs it to the shortwave radio through the channel port 2; at the same time, the FPGA main control chip 1 controls the PTT control circuit 5 to pull the PTT signal low, and outputs it to the shortwave radio after optical coupling isolation, so that the radio enters the sending state.

[0037] During the data reception process, the shortwave radio station receives an analog audio signal and transmits it to the SGM8261 operational amplifier 4 through the channel port 2; the SGM8261 operational amplifier 4 amplifies the signal and transmits it to the ES8388 audio codec 3; the ES8388 audio codec 3 samples the analog signal, converts it into a digital signal, and sends it to the FPGA main control chip 1 through the I2S interface; the FPGA main control chip 1 runs the demodulation algorithm, processes the signal, and provides the demodulated data to the user for reference through the data network port 8 (via the RTL8211F Ethernet chip 7 and the SG24301G network transformer 6).

[0038] Among them, the demodulation algorithm run by the FPGA main control chip 1 is selected according to the standards and requirements of the communication system, and the demodulation algorithm includes but is not limited to fusion frequency shift keying (FSK), multi-carrier parallel data transmission, single-carrier serial data transmission, orthogonal spread spectrum (QSS) and single-carrier frequency domain equalization broadband high-speed data transmission and other technologies. The demodulation algorithms are all existing algorithms in this field and are not described in detail here. Similarly, the RTL8211F Ethernet chip 7, ES8388 audio codec 3, SGM8261 operational amplifier 4, and PTT control circuit 5 are also existing algorithms in this field and are not described in detail here.

[0039] This entire process ensures that from the receipt of user instructions to the sending and receiving of data, the entire system can efficiently and collaboratively process multi-channel shortwave communication signals.

[0040] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe various possible combinations.
