Description

Asymmetric iteration assessment, equilibrium between homophase and orthogonal branches in the tds-ofdm transmission system

Technical field

The invention relates to a kind of method that is used to estimate with the correcting wireless distorted signals, wherein the wireless signal distortion is by reflector or receiver and IQ is asymmetric and by channel distortion and form, described wireless signal is with the emission of multicarrier launching technique, and the invention relates to the device that carries out described method.

Background technology

In European DVB (digital photography broadcasting) system, developed the digital transmission system that is used for satellite (DVB-S), wired (DVB-C) and is used for received terrestrial digital broadcasting emission (DVB-T), and existing well-designed corresponding specification.Because at the existing problematic launching condition of terrestrial wireless channel, so be OFDM launching technique (orthogonal frequency division multitask) in the launching technique of DVB-T specification defined, it can effectively resist the launching condition of difficulty.

Another important applied field of described OFDM launching technique is the high-speed radio transmit network, for example WLAN (wireless district network), particularly defined launching technique in standard IEEE 802.11a and 11g and HIPERLAN/2.

Described OFDM launching technique is a multicarrier launching technique, and wherein splitting traffic between many parallel (quadrature) subcarrier wherein is to adjust subcarrier by low relatively data speed.As shown in Figure 1, dispose (inferior) carrier frequency, thereby wear among the wide K in an emission, described (inferior) carrier frequency is each other at a distance of same distance.Described carrier frequency is the both sides that are symmetrically located at a centre frequency f.In time zone, the replacement of all k carrier frequencies forms the OFDM symbol.In frame form or breach (burst), finish described data transmission, a frame is the OFDM symbol that comprises similar number.

Based on the known reception notion of the heterodyne reception principle of mixing, can finish the reception and the demodulation of OFDM wireless signal with follow-up digital quadrature.Yet, suppress for image frequency, reduce power consumption and the main cause of avoiding chip-external filter, more and more useful reception notion is to use the method for directly mixing.Directly mixing in the receiver notion, receive with the wireless signal that amplifies by an antenna and to be divided into homophase (I) and quadrature (Q) branch, and mix with the output frequency of a regional oscillator in two branches, the oscillator frequency of described blender is delivered in reciprocal 90 degree skews by a phase deviation device.So, receive in the notion at this, use Analogical Circuit Technique, carry out described quadrature demodulation or reclaim described information-bearing baseband signal.

The incorrectness of joining known to stating in the processing procedure product and the imperfection of analog mixer and oscillator, and filter described in I and the Q branch and between error, cause the asymmetric or IQ distortion (distortion) of so-called IQ, that is the asymmetry of amplitude and phase place between the quadrature component.The real part of described complex base band signal and imaginary part are not actual each other phase deviation 90 degree, and the amplitude error between I branch and Q branch more takes place.In described reflector and described receiver, this IQ asymmetry all can take place.In described receiver, in system based on OFDM, described IQ asymmetry, in frequency field, that is in described receiver, FFT conversion (fast fourier transform; Fast Fourier Transform) afterwards, cause the reciprocal interference between two data symbols on the subcarrier, about the load frequency fc of described OFDM frequency spectrum, described sub-carrier frequencies be balanced configuration (after this be called subcarrier n with-n).Because added IQ asymmetry in time zone, each data symbol of being launched on described subcarrier n produces the subcarrier of a signal contribution in pointer-n (imaginary part frequency).Described replacement is formed on the distortion of position n and-n useful signal.

In Andreas Schuchert paper " digital compensation method of hybrid analog-digital simulation quadrature asymmetry in the OFDM receiver " chapter 4 that Bergische Universit  t-Ges amthochschule Wuppertal electronic engineering and information technology system is accepted, propose the mathematical description of IQ asymmetry and be provided at institute to desire the video quantitative estimation of the interference contribution that frequency took place of signal.Chapter 6 in the above-mentioned paper proposes two kinds of diverse ways, by the frequency field equilibrium, and is used for the compensation of IQ mistake.The first method that is proposed is the individual frequencies independent compensation of IQ asymmetry.For detecting equalizing coefficient by an IQ error detector, also proposing to use pilot frequency carrier wave (pilot carrier), its emission is to estimate to believe that translation function becomes the purpose of training symbol in order to reach, and reaches the purpose of estimating I/Q distortion.Yet the circuit arrangement that is used for two method faults compensation has very many functional blocks and thereby has a high execution cost.

WO 02/056523 discloses another kind of method, and it can get rid of reflector and receiver end IQ asymmetry.The basis of the method is to produce compensating signal, is used in compensation corresponding to described IQ mistake and with it.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the equalization methods that the purpose of this invention is to provide estimation approach and subsequent wireless signal distortion, it is by tds-ofdm transmission system, the reflector in the OFDM emission system or receiver end IQ asymmetry causes particularly, and provide and carry out the lower corresponding intrument of described method cost.

Reach purpose of the present invention by the feature in the claim independent entry, described claim advocates to estimate the method with correct transmission device end and receiver end IQ asymmetry respectively.Moreover the device of these methods is carried out in proposition.Favourable development of the present invention and modification are to be described in the described claim dependent claims.

The invention relates to the method that is used to estimate with the correcting wireless distorted signals, the distortion of described wireless signal caused by reflector or receiver end IQ asymmetry, be that wireless signal is the multicarrier emission in frame or breach formal approach and launching.Described method can be used in all spectra, in can use the multicarrier launching technique, that is in wireless data transmission network (WLAN) field or in the field of digital ground photography or voice signal emission.The frequency spectrum of described multicarrier launching technique comprises about centre frequency fc and the subcarrier n and the subcarrier-n of symmetrical spectrum configuration.

As mentioned above, the distortion of key of the present invention (distortion) is included in the interference between the monosymmetric subcarrier of multicarrier frequency spectrum centre frequency fc.By the asymmetry of reflector and receiver end IQ and form this distortion.Moreover the multipath propagation of described wireless channel (multipathpropagation) forms the linear distortion of subcarrier.Comprise the whole distortion of IQ distortion and channel distortion, can carry out emulation by following equation:

In described example,

Be the distorted symbols that is received in described subcarrier n at i, d _n(i) be undistorted emission symbol, A ^TXForm described emitter terminals IQ distortion matrix, A ^RXForm receiving terminal IQ distortion matrix, and C comprises the channel coefficients of multi-path channel.

Basis of the present invention is known described emitter terminals or described receiver end IQ asymmetry.So, if known described IQ distortion matrix (A ^RXOr A ^TX) one of them, but then iteration (iteratively) is estimated the coefficient and the channel coefficients C of another IQ distortion matrix, and simultaneously can be balanced and decision with the symbol that is received.In this example, in one, handle the multicarrier data symbol (for example OFDM symbol) that is received.As a result, in each iteration (iteration) loop, handle a data block that comprises OFDM symbol group, and channel coefficients and iteration are used for this groups of data symbols by the IQ distortion parameter that (iteration pass) end is determined.This groups of data symbols then is called data block, can be the inferior group of frame or breach (burst).Yet, depend on the definition of notch length in the acceptance criteria, well imagine that described data block is corresponding to described frame.

At first use emitter terminals IQ mistake (A ^TX) estimation with proofread and correct example, be described as follows.Estimate earlier and the described receiving terminal IQ distortion matrix (A of correction by suitable measurement ^RX).

Because approximation a _n ^TX, a _n ^TX, equation (1) becomes

$\left[\begin{array}{c}{\hat{d}}_n^{\&prime;}\left(i\right)\\ {\hat{d}}_{-n}^{\&prime;*}\left(i\right)\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="C\; n"\; filenames="A0382137800161.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_n& 0\\ 0& C_{-n}^{*}\end{array}\right]\&CenterDot;\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& b_n^{\mathrm{TX}}\\ b_{-n}^{\mathrm{TX}*}& 1\end{array}\right]\&CenterDot;\left[\begin{array}{c}{d}_n\left(i\right)\\ d_{-n}^{*}\left(i\right)\end{array}\right]---\left(2.1\right)$

By described channel coefficients C _n, C _-nKnowledge, described IQ distortion matrix A ^TXThe decision of surplus variable can by

${\hat{b}}_n^{\mathrm{TX}}=\frac{{\hat{d}}_n^{\&prime;}\left(i\right)-C_n\&CenterDot;d_n\left(i\right)}{C_n\&CenterDot;d_{-n}^{*}\left(i\right)}$

${\hat{b}}_{-n}^{\mathrm{TX}}=\frac{{\hat{d}}_{-n}^{\&prime;}\left(i\right)-C_{-n}\&CenterDot;d_{-n}\left(i\right)}{C_{-n}\&CenterDot;d_n^{*}\left(i\right)}---\left(2.2\right)$

According to the present invention, be used on this basis estimate and the first method of proofreading and correct described emitter terminals IQ asymmetry.According to the present invention, described first method common form, at first be method step a, with from the channel coefficients that previous data block was determined, and with the received data symbol equilibrium of first data block.In method step b, follow-up by the temporary transient IQ distortion parameter that previous data block determined, and with described data symbol equilibrium.In this mode, then in step c, will be provided to the symbol determination procedure by the data symbol of equilibrium.In steps d, reference signal that is provided by described symbol determination procedure and the symbol that is received are to be used for channel estimating, are used to produce new signal coefficient.At last, in method step e, estimate reference symbol and the new channel coefficients that data symbol was determined that is received, estimate new IQ distortion parameter to state signal.

As the data block of the specified received data symbol of first data block, be the arbitrary data piece (arbitrary data block) that is defined as wireless signal transmission.Designing first data block only distinguishes as language idendification and from second data block of temporary connection.

Being actually the described wireless transmission data block of first data block according to the time, is to be designed to the initial data piece.In the example of this initial data piece, owing to do not have the data block of temporary transient processing, so can't initially carry out the method according to this invention in the identical mode of all subsequent data blocks.Can be in step a and b, the data symbol equilibrium that is received in the described initial data piece will be included in, therefore on the basis of pilot signal (pilot signal), carry out a channel estimating, normally be contained in the front portion (preamble) of the affiliated corresponding data breach of described initial data piece.In described method step a,,, and in step b, described IQ distortion parameter setting is equalled zero the data symbol equilibrium that is received with from the channel coefficients that described channel estimating was determined.

In method step d, produce described channel coefficients, since from a channel estimating the channel coefficients that determined, its basis is that described symbol determination procedure reference symbol that provides and the data symbol that is received are to be used for and the old numerical value weighted average of channel coefficients, thereby, can reappraise IQ mistake according to equation (2.2) based on the data symbol that is received among average channel coefficients, reference symbol and the method step e.(IQ tracking)

More can in method step, provide and produce new IQ distortion parameter, because the new channel coefficients that the basis of the described IQ distortion parameter of decision is in channel estimation process to be determined, average described reference symbol and the data symbol that received and previous iterative step in the IQ distortion parameter of one or more steps decisions.

If before another advantage is that the channel estimating in method step is carried out,, carry out the IQ predistortion (predistortion) of the reference symbol that provided by the symbol determination procedure based on the IQ distortion parameter that upgrades.This EQ predistortion of described reference symbol makes and can significantly reduce misjudgment owing to described IQ distortion.

According to second method of the present invention, as the estimation and the correction of described receiver end IQ asymmetry.Carry out from equation (1) once more, suppose to have estimated by suitable measurement in advance and proofreaied and correct described emitter terminals IQ distortion matrix (A ^TX).

By approximation a _n ^TX, a _n ^TXAnd known channel coefficients C _n, C _-n, described IQ distortion matrix A ^RXSurplus variable can be by the decision of following equation

${\hat{b}}_n^{\mathrm{RX}}=\frac{{\hat{d}}_n^{\&prime;}\left(i\right)-C_n\&CenterDot;d_n\left(i\right)}{C_{-n}\&CenterDot;d_{-n}^{*}\left(i\right)}$

${\hat{b}}_{-n}^{\mathrm{RX}}=\frac{{\hat{d}}_{-n}^{\&prime;}\left(i\right)-C_{-n}\&CenterDot;d_{-n}\left(i\right)}{C_n\&CenterDot;d_n^{*}\left(i\right)}---\left(3.1\right)$

Second method according to the present invention is on this basis, carries out the estimation and the correction of described receiver end IQ asymmetry.According to the present invention in the prevailing form of second method, at first, in method step a, by the IQ distortion parameter that data block determined from a temporary connection, and the data symbol equilibrium that first data block is received.Then provide data symbol to be used for channel estimating, be used for producing new channel coefficients, then in method step c, by the channel coefficients that is determined and with described data symbol equilibrium at method step b.Then, with in this way balanced data symbol symbol determination procedure to the method step d is provided.Then, in method step e,, carry out IQ and estimate, and provide correcting circuit to IQ with the IQ distortion parameter that is determined based on the reference symbol that provided by the symbol determination procedure and by the channel coefficients that described channel estimating was provided.
