Abstract
Description
Preprocessing system for eliminating interference within the adjacent range of analog signals of HDR and CDR
[0001] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a preprocessing system for eliminating interference within adjacent ranges of analog signals of HDR and CDR.
[0002] The content described below merely provides background information related to the present embodiment and does not constitute prior art.
[0003] CDR stands for Conventional Digital Radio or China Digital Radio.
[0004] DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a European standard, DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) is a third world standard, HDR is an American standard, and CDR is a Chinese standard.
[0005] HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio) is a radio broadcasting technology that provides a hybrid of analog and digital broadcasting. HD Radio (HDR) is a digital radio format manufactured under license by iBiquity Digital Corporation in the United States.
[0006] As shown in Figure 1, FM broadcasting in the United States transmits radio signals in 200 kHz increments. HDR uses a method of mixing existing FM (N) into digital (N) and transmitting it.
[0007] In other words, HDR transmits the same digital radio signal on both sidebands of an analog FM signal. HDR's LDS (Lower Digital Sideband) and UDS (Upper Digital Sideband) are symmetrical, and are designed to allow listening even if only one LDS or UDS is perfectly restored.
[0008] In the US, frequencies are managed so that neither side of the HDR digital signal is affected.
[0009] As illustrated in (a) of Figure 2, interference typically occurs within the adjacent range only in one sideband. When interference occurs within the adjacent range only in one sideband, the signal is restored using the signal from the other sideband that is not affected by the interference.
[0010] However, if the received signal of the adjacent channel is significantly greater than the received signal of the original channel, there is a problem in that the signal goes beyond the range of signals that can be expressed digitally, making signal restoration impossible.
[0011] As illustrated in (b) of Figure 2, when crossing borders or regions, both the Lower Digital Sideband (LDS) and the Upper Digital Sideband (UDS) experience degradation due to adjacent channels. When degradation occurs in both sidebands, not only does it result in degradation due to mobility, but it also presents a problem of difficulty in restoration due to the low SNR of the digital end in the adjacent channel.
[0012] The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a preprocessing system for removing interference within an adjacent range of analog signals of HDR and CDR, which restores the symmetric property in the process of receiving HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio) and CDR (Conventional Digital Radio), and additionally determines whether the signal is noisy by using the FM phase property of the signal, thereby removing interference within an adjacent range of analog signals with a single pass without beam forming (2 or more paths).
[0013] According to one aspect of the present embodiment, a preprocessing system is provided, comprising: a CDR / HDR RF receiver for receiving an RF signal of a CDR (Conventional Digital Radio) or an HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio); a data folding unit for recognizing interference as noise in a case where interference occurs in an UDS (Upper Digital Sideband) or an LDS (Lower Digital Sideband) within an adjacent range of an analog signal (N) of the CDR or the HDR, or interference occurs in both the UDS and the LDS, and using a symmetrical property of an analog signal (N-1, N+1) in which interference occurred, to divide the signal into symmetrical regions based on the center using a data folding method; and a CDR / HDR restoration unit for restoring a signal by removing the interference based on the symmetrical regions.
[0014] As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the process of receiving HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio) and CDR (Conventional Digital Radio), the symmetric property is restored, and additionally, the FM phase property of the signal is used to determine whether the signal is noisy, thereby eliminating interference within the adjacent range of the analog signal with a single pass without beam forming (2 or more paths).

Here, the preprocessing system (800) can also be applied to CDR differently from HDR in terms of spectral spacing, but the same concept as HDR can be applied to remove interference within the adjacent range of an analog signal.
[0026] The preprocessing system (800) receives an RF signal of CDR (Conventional Digital Radio) or HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio).
[0027] When interference occurs with a UDS within the adjacent range of an analog signal (N) of a CDR or HDR, the preprocessing system (800) recognizes it as noise and selects an analog signal (N+1) that has interference with a UDS within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N).
[0028] The preprocessing system (800) uses the symmetrical property of the analog signal (N+1) that has interference with the UDS to divide it into two symmetrical regions (interference region (region ② of FIG. 3) and interference-free region (region ① of FIG. 3)) based on the center.
[0029] The preprocessing system (800) performs adjustment processing to symmetrically copy the frequency domain of the interference-free region (region ① of FIG. 3) among the two symmetric regions to the interference-occurring region (region ② of FIG. 3), thereby restoring the analog signal (N+1) of the adjacent channel where interference occurred.

[0033] The preprocessing system (800) utilizes the symmetrical properties of the analog signal (N+1) in which interference occurs with the UDS to separate it into two symmetrical regions based on the center. The UDS is restored by subtracting the frequency domain of the interference-free region from the frequency domain of the interference-free region, and the signal in which the analog signal (N+1) in which interference occurs is restored by performing an adjustment process that symmetrically copies the frequency domain of the interference-free region among the symmetrical regions to the interference-free region, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4.

[0043] When interference occurs in the LDS (Lower Digital Sideband) within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N) of the received CDR or HDR, the preprocessing system (800) recognizes it as noise and uses a data folding method to remove the interference that occurred in the LDS and restore the signal.
[0044] The preprocessing system (800) can recognize interference within the adjacent range of an analog signal (N) for a CDR having the same spectral structure as HDR as noise and restore the signal by removing the interference occurring in the adjacent range using a data folding method. Here, the preprocessing system (800) can also be applied to CDR differently from HDR in terms of spectral spacing, but the same concept as HDR can be applied to remove interference within the adjacent range of an analog signal.
[0045] The preprocessing system (800) receives an RF signal of CDR (Conventional Digital Radio) or HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio).
[0046] When interference occurs with an LDS within the adjacent range of an analog signal (N) of a CDR or HDR, the preprocessing system (800) recognizes it as noise and selects an analog signal (N-1) that has interference with an LDS within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N).
[0047] The preprocessing system (800) uses the symmetrical property of the analog signal (N-1) that has interference with the LDS to separate it into two symmetrical regions (interference region (region ② of FIG. 6) and interference-free region (region ① of FIG. 5)) based on the center.
[0048] The preprocessing system (800) performs adjustment processing to symmetrically copy the frequency domain of the interference-free region (region ① of FIG. 6) among the two symmetric regions to the interference-occurring region (region ② of FIG. 6), thereby restoring the analog signal (N-1) of the adjacent channel where interference occurred.
[0049] The preprocessing system (800) restores the LDS by subtracting the frequency domain of the interference-free region from the frequency domain of the interference-occurring region.

[0053] The preprocessing system (800) restores the UDS by subtracting the frequency domain of the interference-free region from the frequency domain of the interference-occurring region.
[0054] Figure 7 is a drawing showing the starting point of a data folding method according to the present embodiment.
[0055] The preprocessing system (800) can utilize various noise extraction methods. The preprocessing system (800) can additionally determine whether a signal contains noise by utilizing the FM phase property of a signal restored with a symmetric property.
[0056] The preprocessing system (800) is not limited to FB-ANC (Feedback Active Noise Cancellation) and can be configured with only FF-ANC (Feed Forward Active Noise Cancellation), and as a technology that can use FB-ANC as an auxiliary, artificial intelligence-based noise removal is possible.
[0057] The preprocessing system (800) can estimate noise using artificial intelligence.
[0058] The preprocessing system (800) extracts feature points from each of the nth audio signal and the subsequent audio signals (n+1, n+2, n+3) stored in memory after the nth audio signal.
[0059] The preprocessing system (800) generates coordinate information for the locations where the extracted feature points are formed in the frequency domain. The preprocessing system (800) inputs the coordinate information for each of the generated feature points as input values to a pre-trained artificial neural network. Here, the artificial neural network includes a deep neural network composed of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer.
[0060] The preprocessing system (800) estimates the noise signal included in the audio signal input for the next signal processing based on the output value of the artificial neural network.
[0061] The preprocessing system (800) predicts the location of the next occurrence of coordinate information through the artificial neural network based on the movement pattern of coordinate information for feature points input to the artificial neural network. The preprocessing system (800) extracts a noise signal having a frequency characteristic corresponding to the predicted occurrence location from the audio signal.
[0062] The preprocessing system (800) calculates the similarity between the noise signal predicted by the artificial neural network and the noise signal actually detected by the noise detection unit. The preprocessing system (800) adjusts the weights between the nodes constituting the artificial neural network based on the calculated similarity.
[0063] For example, the preprocessing system (800) calculates the similarity between the signal pattern of the noise signal predicted by the artificial neural network and the signal pattern of the noise signal actually detected by the noise detection unit. If the calculated similarity is lower than a preset reference similarity, the preprocessing system (800) adjusts the weights between the nodes constituting the artificial neural network until the similarity is higher than the reference similarity.
[0064] The preprocessing system (800) can predict noise included in an audio signal using an artificial neural network, and can improve noise removal performance by additionally removing noise not detected by the noise detection unit.
[0065] The preprocessing system (800) can determine noise using a data folding method when noise occurs in the LDS (Lower Digital Sideband) within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N) of the received CDR or HDR.
[0066] Hereinafter, a method for determining noise occurring within an adjacent range of an analog signal (N) of CDR or HDR based on (a) of Fig. 7 is described.
[0067] As shown in (a) of FIG. 7, the preprocessing system (800) receives an RF signal of CDR (Conventional Digital Radio) or HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio).
[0068] The preprocessing system (800) selects a signal (N-1) in which noise has occurred within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N) of CDR or HDR, when LDS and noise have occurred within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N).
[0069] The preprocessing system (800) uses the symmetrical property of the signal (N-1) in which noise has occurred to separate it into two symmetrical regions (noise generation region (region ② of FIG. 7) and noise-free region (region ① of FIG. 7)) based on the center.
[0070] The preprocessing system (800) performs adjustment processing to symmetrically copy the frequency domain of the noise-free region (region ① of Fig. 7 (a)) among the two symmetric regions to the noise-generating region (region ② of Fig. 7 (a)), thereby restoring the analog signal (N-1) of the adjacent channel where noise occurred.
[0071] The preprocessing system (800) separates only the noise in the frequency domain by subtracting the signal in the noise-free area from the signal in the noise-generating area.
[0072] Hereinafter, a method for ignoring negative values in the frequency domain for noise occurring within an adjacent range of an analog signal (N) of CDR or HDR based on (b) of Fig. 7 is described.
[0073] As shown in (b) of Fig. 7, the preprocessing system (800) selects a signal (N-1) in which noise has occurred within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N) of CDR or HDR when LDS and noise have occurred within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N).
[0074] The preprocessing system (800) uses the symmetrical property of the signal (N-1) in which noise has occurred to separate it into two symmetrical regions (noise-generated region (region ③ of Fig. 7 (b)) and noise-free region (region ④ of Fig. 7 (b))) based on the center.
[0075] The preprocessing system (800) performs adjustment processing to symmetrically copy the frequency domain of the noise-generating region (region ③ of Fig. 7 (b)) among the two symmetrical regions to the noise-free region (region ④ of Fig. 7 (b)), thereby generating a symmetrical noise-generating region signal.
[0076] The preprocessing system (800) subtracts the signal of the symmetrical noise generation area from the signal of the noise generation area. The preprocessing system (800) subtracts the signal of the symmetrical noise generation area from the noise generation area so that the noise is canceled out, and outputs a negative value for the symmetrical noise from the noise-free area.
[0077] The preprocessing system (800) ignores negative values for symmetrical noise in the frequency domain.
[0078] The preprocessing system (800) separates only the noise in the frequency domain by subtracting a signal having a negative value for symmetrical noise in the frequency domain from a signal from which only the noise in the frequency domain has been separated.

It is preferable to implement the preprocessing system in a vehicle radio receiving device, but is not necessarily limited thereto.
[0082] The preprocessing system (800) is capable of eliminating interference within the adjacent range of an analog signal in a single pass without beamforming (two or more paths).

[0083] The preprocessing system (800) has a structure that combines beamforming and data folding. The preprocessing system (800) has a structure that simultaneously obtains gain by processing the gain restored by analog co-channel and beamforming using the data folding method (1 path).
[0084] The preprocessing system (800) additionally includes a noise removal module (not shown) that tracks and removes noise included in the RF signal of the CDR or HDR received from the first CDR / HDR RF receiver (810) or the second CDR / HDR RF receiver (830).
[0085] The noise removal module includes a noise detection unit (not shown) that performs fast Fourier transform on the RF signal of the CDR or HDR in the frequency domain and detects noise from the fast Fourier transformed signal, a feed forward ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) unit (not shown) that removes noise detected by the noise detection unit, performs inverse fast Fourier transform on the RF signal of the CDR or HDR from which noise has been removed in the time domain, and stores the inverse fast Fourier transformed signal in a memory.
[0086] The preprocessing system (800) according to the present embodiment includes a first CDR / HDR RF receiver (810), a data folding unit (820), a second CDR / HDR RF receiver (830), a filter unit (840), an adjacent filter controller (850), and a CDR / HDR restoration unit (860). The components included in the preprocessing system (800) are not necessarily limited thereto.
[0087] The first CDR / HDR RF receiver (810) receives an RF signal of CDR (Conventional Digital Radio) or HDR (Hybrid Digital Radio).
[0088] When interference occurs in the UDS (Upper Digital Sideband) or LDS (Lower Digital Sideband) within the adjacent range of the analog signal (N) of the received CDR or HDR, or interference occurs in both the UDS and LDS, the data folding unit (820) recognizes it as noise and uses the data folding method to remove the interference that occurred in the UDS and restore the signal.

[0090] The data folding unit (820) uses the symmetrical property of the LDS of the analog signal (N) of the CDR or HDR and the analog signal (N-1) where interference occurs to separate the LDS into an interference area and an interference-free area based on the center.
[0091] The data folding unit (820) uses the symmetrical properties of the LDS and UDS of the analog signal (N) of the CDR or HDR and the analog signal (N-1, N+1) that has interference to separate the signal into an interference area and an interference-free area based on the center.

[0130] The adjacent filter controller (850) controls the filter unit (840) to select one of the 1-1 filter, 1-2 filter, 2-1 filter, and 2-2 filter.
[0131] The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) restores the signal by removing interference based on the symmetrical area.

The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) can restore the UDS from the UDS and the UDS adjacent signal. The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) can reflect the CSI (Channel status information) channel weight with a low probability as much as the frequency offset (as much as the overlapping occurred) that occurred in the FM phase tracking.
[0135] The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) restores the analog signal (N+1) in which interference occurred by performing an adjustment process that symmetrically copies the frequency domain of the interference-free region to the interference-occurring region, and restores the UDS by subtracting the frequency domain of the interference-free region copied from the frequency domain of the interference-occurring region.
[0136] The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) performs adjustment processing to symmetrically copy the frequency domain of the interference-free region to the interference-occurring region, thereby restoring the analog signal (N-1) in which interference occurred, and subtracts the frequency domain of the interference-free region copied from the frequency domain of the interference-occurring region to restore the LDS.
[0137] The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) performs adjustment processing to symmetrically copy the frequency domain of the interference-free region to the interference-occurring region, thereby restoring the analog signal (N-1, N+1) in which interference occurred, and subtracts the frequency domain of the interference-free region copied from the frequency domain of the interference-occurring region to restore the LDS and UDS.
[0138] The CDR / HDR restoration unit (860) performs beamforming for a selected channel based on the difference in gain values between the signal that passed through the filter unit (840) and the original signal that did not pass through the filter unit (840).
