Background technology
TR (TR, Time Reversal) is a kind of novel multipath fading inhibition technology of development in recent years.Different with traditional multipath fading technology, TR has unique Space Time focusing function and natural environment self-adaption.TR can adapt to the wireless transmission environment of various complexity automatically, does not need complicated multipath signal to merge and handles and adaptive algorithm, greatly simplified receiver design; What is more important, TR can utilize multipath energy to improve signal to noise ratio, compression pulse expansion fully, reduces intersymbol interference, improve the message capacity of system when suppressing multipath fading.A large amount of theory and experimental studies show that in the environment that multipath enriches, the room and time focusing effect of pure TR technology (PTR, Pure Time Reversal) is apparent in view, and are very remarkable to the effect that improves performance in wireless communication systems.
Yet, experimental studies have found that TR is unsatisfactory to the inhibition effect of relevant multipath (being frequency selective fading) effect in ultra broadband (UWB, the Ultra Wide Band) wireless channel, especially under sparse multi-path environment, still there is the very strong relevant multipath pulse of amplitude.These relevant multipath pulses can overlap mutually under high rate data transmission with signal pulse, produces serious intersymbol interference (ISI), and then develop on the restriction wireless communication system two-forty, high-performance direction.
In order to address the above problem, many research workers have proposed the multiple technologies solution, for example based on the TR Radio Transmission Technology of lowest mean square root error equilibrium (MMSE), force the TR transmission of make zero (ZF) etc.These technology all are that various balancing techniques are combined with the TR technology, eliminate relevant multipath in the UWB wireless communication system to arrive, and suppress the purpose of ISI in the wireless channel.But from present technical research state, the algorithm of existing TR balancing technique is all very complicated, operand is big, realize that difficulty is big, and inconvenience is applied among the wireless transmission communication system at a high speed.
For example, document " Improvement of Time-Reversal Communications Using Adaptive Channel Equalizers " (IEEE Journal Of Oceanic Engineering, Vol.31, No.2, April 2006) a kind of TR wireless communication transmissions scheme of proposition based on adaptive channel equalizer.This scheme adopts TR precompensation technology at transmitting terminal, at receiving terminal to received signal at first through a prefilter, and then by the effect of a DFF of forming by decision device and feedback filter (DFE) with the arrival equalizing signal.The weight parameter of the filter that wherein whole receiving terminal is used all is to adopt lowest mean square root error (MMSE) technology to be optimized design.By time reversal and lowest mean square root error balancing technique combination of them are suppressed multipath effect, eliminate the relevant multipath in the channel, theoretical research shows that this method can effectively reduce the ISI that multipath effect causes, and improves the transmission performance of TR wireless communication system.But along with the increase of the transmission path quantity in the wireless channel, it is very complicated that the receiver structure of this system will become, and equalization algorithm also can sharply increase required operation time, and hardware realizes that difficulty is big, the complexity height.Simultaneously, because the required operand of algorithm is big, so be difficult to be applied to the high-speed radio transmission system.
Document " Time Reversal and Zero-Forcing Equal ization for Fixed Wireless Access Channels " (Signals, Systems and Computers, 2005.Conference Record of the Thirty-Ninth Asilomar Conference, p.1297-1301, Oct28-Nov1,2005) will force the pre-equalization techniques that makes zero to combine with TR.This technology is after having determined channel impulse response, utilize the known response function to utilize finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter to simulate whole transmission channel the fixed wireless transmission channel, utilize then and will force make zero algorithm and the time reversal technology purpose that goes out the waveform generator that is complementary with wireless channel with the arrival equalization channel designed in conjunction.Whole channel is carried out the amplitude equalization notional result to be shown, this technology is better than PTR and the pure balancing technique that makes zero of forcing in the inhibition to multipath, but, this system needs complicated channel estimation method, waveform generator is carried out complicated the most optimized parameter design and strict time synchronized, so be not easy to Project Realization.
Balancing technique is to suppress a kind of effective technology of relevant multipath and non-coherent multi pathway, but above-mentioned lowest mean square root error with force the balancing technique difficulty on structure and Project Realization that makes zero big, the equalization algorithm complexity, operand also sharply increases with the increase of propagation path quantity, is difficult to be used widely in high-speed radiocommunication system.
