Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a general architecture of a radio frequency receiver, which can be universally applied to a radio frequency receiver device, according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the architecture may include a plurality of components disposed between a radio frequency input RF _ in and a baseband output, which in turn include a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), a mixer, an Analog filter, a programmable Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA), an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), and a Digital filter. Among these components, the mixer may shift the rf signal amplified by the lna according to the frequency of a Local Oscillator (LO). Generally, the frequency of the output signal of the mixer is higher than that of the rf signal, and the mixer is called an up-conversion mixer; the frequency of the output signal of the mixer is lower than the frequency of the rf signal, and the mixer is called a down-conversion mixer. In a common radio frequency receiver architecture, the mixer is typically a down-conversion mixer.
The analog filter can eliminate high-frequency noise and interference in a signal path before ADC conversion, and avoid aliasing noise from polluting signals; in addition, the influence of an overdrive signal outside the bandwidth of the filter on a signal path can be eliminated, and the phenomenon of modulator saturation of an ADC (analog to digital converter) is avoided; and when input overvoltage occurs, the analog filter can limit input current and attenuate input voltage.
The digital Filter is arranged behind the ADC, and can remove digital noise injected during the analog-to-digital conversion process, and generally, the digital Filter may be a bandpass Filter formed by a Low Pass digital Filter (LPF) and a High Pass digital Filter (HPF) connected in series.
For the general architecture shown in fig. 1, the analog-to-digital conversion function can be implemented by a continuous-time sigma-delta modulator. The continuous time sigma-delta modulator is based on the over-sampling and noise shaping theory, removes the quantization noise in the frequency band to the outside of the frequency band through a loop filter, and eliminates the quantization noise through a digital decimation filter. However, the related art can only replace the ADC with the analog-to-digital conversion function of the continuous-time sigma-delta modulator, but does not deeply utilize the structural features of the continuous-time sigma-delta modulator. Based on this, referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a reconfigurable structure of a Sigma-Delta modulator 2, where the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 not only can implement analog-to-digital conversion functions, but also can implement VGA and analog filter functions, and the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 may include: an input resistor 21, a feedforward path 22, a loop filter 23 including a multistage operational amplifier 231 connected in series, a 5-bit quantizer 24 of a Successive AppRoximation register Analog-to-Digital Converter (SAR ADC) structure, and a feedback loop 25 composed of a plurality of Digital-to-Analog converters (DACs) 251;
the input resistor 21 is a resistance value adjustable resistor, one end of the input resistor 21 is connected to an input signal, and the other end of the input resistor 21 is connected to the input end of the loop filter 23;
the feedforward path 22 is connected across the output section of the first stage operational amplifier of the loop filter 23 and the input end of the last stage operational amplifier of the loop filter 23, and the feedforward path 22 is used for adjusting the signal transfer function of the Sigma-Delta modulator 2;
the input end of the quantizer 24 is connected to the output end of the last operational amplifier of the loop filter 23, and outputs a digital signal through the output end;
the number of DACs in the feedback loop 25 corresponds to the number of operational amplifiers in the loop filter 23, the input terminal of each DAC 251 in the feedback loop 25 is connected to the output terminal of the quantizer 24, and the output terminal of each DAC 251 in the feedback loop 25 is connected to the input terminal of the corresponding operational amplifier 231 in the loop filter 23.
For the technical solution shown in fig. 2, since the input resistor 21 is adjustable, different resistance values can be selected for the input resistor 21, so as to realize gain adjustment corresponding to each resistance value, thereby realizing VGA function in the Sigma-Delta modulator 2, and not changing ADC signal transfer function and noise transfer function, therefore, in the general architecture of the radio frequency receiver shown in fig. 1, if the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 shown in fig. 2 is used to realize analog-to-digital conversion, the VGA circuit can be omitted in the architecture of the radio frequency receiver. Furthermore, since the feed-forward path 22 can change the signal transfer function of the modulator, a notch (null) can be created out of band, thereby increasing the rejection of out-of-band interfering signals; by adjusting the feed-forward path 22, null can be changed to selectively suppress the interference signal in a certain frequency band, that is, to implement the function of the analog filter, so that in the radio frequency receiver architecture shown in fig. 1, the analog filter can be eliminated or the requirement for the analog filter can be reduced. Compared with the quantizer of the flash ADC commonly used at present, the 5-bit quantizer 24 of the SAR ADC structure has obvious advantages in power consumption and area, and can compensate Excessive Loop Delay (ELD) according to requirements, so that a DAC circuit is further saved, and the area and the power consumption can be further reduced.
For the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 shown in fig. 2, in one possible implementation, the loop filter 23 is preferably a third-order active RC structure, and specifically, the loop filter 23 includes a three-stage operational amplifier, three pairs of capacitors, and three pairs of adjustable resistors; each pair of adjustable capacitors corresponds to one operational amplifier, and each pair of adjustable capacitors is bridged with the input end and the output end of the corresponding operational amplifier; in the three pairs of resistors, a first resistor pair is connected across the output end of the first operational amplifier and the input end of the second operational amplifier, a second resistor pair is connected across the output end of the second operational amplifier and the input end of the third operational amplifier, and a third resistor pair is connected across the input end of the second operational amplifier and the output end of the third operational amplifier.

For the three pairs of resistors of the loop filter 23, referring to fig. 3, one resistor R2 of the first resistor pair R2 is connected across the negative output terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1 and the positive input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2, and the other resistor R2 of the first resistor pair R2 is connected across the positive output terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1 and the negative input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP 2;

For the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 shown in fig. 2, in one possible implementation, see fig. 4, the quantizer 24 comprises: a Switched Capacitor digital-to-analog converter (SC-DAC), a dual-input dual-output comparator (Comp), a SAR Logic, a reference voltage buffer (REF BUF), and a delay unit (Z) -1 And a Binary to Thermometer code circuit (B2T); the SC-DAC receives an input signal Vin and a reference voltage transmitted by a REF BUF, transmits an output analog signal to Comp, and transmits the output to SAR Logic by Comp; SARLogic feeds back the output SAC Code to SC-DAC, and SAR Logic feeds back the output digital signal D through a time delay Z -1 Compensating the ELD coding Code obtained after time delay to the SC-DAC; the SAR Logic also converts the output signal D into a time sequence signal T through B2T, and then data output Dataout is carried out.
For the above technical solution, preferably, the adjustable resistor and the adjustable capacitor are both devices that are adjusted based on a digital control word. Referring to fig. 5 for a representative embodiment of the adjustable resistor, taking the input resistor pair R1 as an example, the resistors R101 to R110 can be selectively added in series to the fixed resistor R _ fix by opening the associated bypass switches sw <1> to sw <10 >; selectively removing resistors R101 through R110 from the input resistor R1 by closing the associated bypass switch; and R101 is connected with a switch sw <0> in series, so that the access of the whole resistor string is controlled. As described above, the resistors R101-R110 may be binary weighted, with the switches being controlled by binary values. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that digitally controlled adjustable resistors may be implemented in other ways.
Referring to one representative embodiment described with respect to tunable capacitance in fig. 6, the capacitance values of 6 capacitors are increased in a binary manner, with the capacitances selected by applying a binary code to the bit switches corresponding to each capacitance.
By means of the technical solution, the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3 has the following advantages in implementation:
first, the resistance of the input resistor R1 is adjustable, and referring to one embodiment of the adjustable resistor shown in fig. 5, by selecting different values, gain adjustment of 0dB to 10dB, for example, 2dB per step, can be achieved. Due to the fact that adjustability of the input resistor R1 is added, the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 has the VGA function and does not change the ADC signal transfer function and the noise transfer function, and therefore a VGA circuit can be omitted in the radio frequency receiver.
Secondly, the feedforward path C4 is added, and the use of the feedforward path C4 can change the signal transmission function of the Sigma-Delta modulator 2, so that a notch (null) can be generated out of band to increase the suppression of an out-of-band interference signal; by adjusting the size of C4 in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the null position can be changed, and thus, the interference signal in a certain frequency band can be selectively suppressed, so that the function of the filter is realized, and the analog filter is removed from the radio frequency receiver or the requirement for the analog filter is reduced.
And then, a 5-bit SAR ADC is used as a quantizer, compared with a flash ADC used in a conventional scheme as the quantizer, the SAR ADC has obvious advantages in power consumption and area when being used as the quantizer, ELD compensation can be integrated, a DAC circuit can be saved, and the area and the power consumption are further reduced.
Finally, configuring the capacitance value through software to realize the reconfiguration of the mode, for example, setting the minimum bandwidth of the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 to be 10MHz, and the maximum bandwidth to be 20MHz, and as explained with the embodiment shown in fig. 6, in each bandwidth mode, the calibration bit of the capacitance is 5 bits, and assuming that the calibration value of the capacitance is 10000, when the bandwidth is 20MHz mode, the clock frequency is 320mhz, dout is 5 > =010000; when the bandwidth is 10M Hz mode, the clock frequency is 160MHz, dout & lt 5 & gt =100000; when the bandwidth is between 10M Hz and 20MHz, only the clock frequency needs to be changed in equal proportion, and the capacitance control word dout <5:0> needs to be scaled in equal proportion.
The following description will be made with reference to a Signal Transfer Function (STF) of the Sigma-Delta modulator 2 shown in fig. 7 and a Noise Transfer Function (NTF) diagram shown in fig. 8.
In fig. 7, the solid line is the STF with gain =0dB, the dashed line is the STF with gain =20dB, and as can be seen from fig. 7 and fig. 8, taking the bandwidth of 10MHZ as an example, the signal gain range is 0dB to 20dB, and the change in gain does not affect the noise transfer function and the STF; under the condition that the in-band attenuation is not more than 0.5dB, the attenuation effect of 9dB is obtained at the position of 2 times of signal bandwidth, and the inhibition effect brought by the out-of-band null is more obvious.
It should be noted that: the technical schemes described in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined arbitrarily without conflict.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
