Innovation Solution

A method that estimates and removes spurious signals from baseband signals using a stored spurious average value, and calibrates the measurement matrix by generating a calibration signal, performing Fast Fourier transforms, and decomposing singular values to improve spectral slice detection accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a compressive sensing receiver uses a theoretical measurement matrix for spectral slice detection, then the detection process is simple, but spurious signals from local oscillator cross modulation degrade detection accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection process simplicityVSAvoidspectral slice detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary spurious signal estimation and removal before spectral slice detection, and pre-calibrates the measurement matrix to account for non-linear effects. This preliminary processing eliminates the harmful spurious components that would otherwise degrade detection accuracy, allowing the use of a relatively simple detection process while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary calibration process that creates a corrected measurement matrix accounting for non-linear effects and spurious signals. This calibrated matrix acts as a mediator between the theoretical measurement matrix and the actual received signal, compensating for system imperfections and enabling accurate detection despite the presence of spurious components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If spurious signals are not removed from the baseband signal, then the processing is straightforward, but the spectral slice detection accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing complexityVSAvoidspectral slice detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary spurious signal estimation and removal operations before the main spectral slice detection process. By eliminating spurious components in advance, the subsequent detection can proceed with relatively simple processing while achieving high accuracy, as the harmful interference has already been removed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes the spurious signal components from the baseband signal through estimation and subtraction operations. This separation of the harmful spurious components from the useful signal allows the detection process to focus on the clean signal components, maintaining simplicity while improving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If a calibration signal processing is performed to calibrate the measurement matrix, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the processing time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral slice detection accuracyVSAvoidcalibration processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs the measurement matrix calibration as a preliminary operation before actual signal detection. Although the calibration process itself is computationally intensive, it is performed once in advance rather than repeatedly during detection, thereby improving detection accuracy while minimizing the time loss during actual operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method of processing a signal in a compressive sensing receiver, includes: obtaining a first signal received via an antenna; generating a first baseband signal by mixing the first signal with a second signal generated by a local oscillator based on a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS); removing a spurious from the first baseband signal based on a pre-stored estimation value obtained by estimating the spurious generated by the local oscillator in advance; and detecting a spectral slice including the first signal based on the first baseband signal from which the spurious is removed and a measurement matrix.
