Wherein,represents a complex signal, Re isReal part of (Im) isThe imaginary part of (c). Originally, each bank stores p/2 data, after compression processing of extracting a real part is carried out, vacancy of an imaginary part of the data is removed, and then p energy data are stored in one bank of the data memory, so that the storage space of the data memory is compressed/saved, and in the subsequent peak value search, the organization structure of the data memory determines that a peak value search module can read out a plurality of energy data at one time, the efficiency of reading the energy data is correspondingly improved by one time, and the throughput rate of parallel search can also be improved by one time. In practical application, the vector processor can extract a real part through oneThe real part extraction process described above.
In particular, to adapt the throughput rate of the vector processor, the data memory has the following structural features: the data storage format is complex energyStoring a complex energy data by using a 32-bit unit, wherein low 16 bits are real parts, and high 16 bits are imaginary parts; as shown in fig. 3, the width (width) of the memory is 16 × P × 4 bits (P is an even number greater than 0), the memory is divided into 4 banks, each bank has P/2 32-bit memory cells, and the vector processor can read one column of data of the memory at a time, i.e., P × 2 energy data. If the vector processor does not perform the operation of extracting the real part after performing only the correlation operation, the filtering operation, etc., and then writes the result back to the memory, the result still has P × 2 energy data in a column of the memory, but each 32-bit storage unit stores the modulus of the complex energy, whose upper 16 bits are 0 and lower 16 bits are real parts (not 0), and actually, the peak search includes the operation of extracting the real part, that is, after the correlation operation, the filtering operation, the operation of extracting the real part is performed by the instruction of extracting the real part, and then the result is written back to the memory, and then a column of the memory stores (16 × P4)/16 × P4 energy data, that is, one 32-bit unit stores two energy data, and one bank can store P energy data, as shown in fig. 4.
It was described above that the vector processor can access the same column of 4 banks of the memory at a time, while the peak search module can access one row of one bank of the memory at a time, i.e. 16 × P bits of data, i.e. P energy data (if the vector processor has not performed the operation of extracting the real part, then P/2 data are read and written at a time).
In practical applications, the data memory may be a synchronous static memory (sram).
And the vector processor is also used for setting parameters of the peak search module. And the peak searching module performs peak searching processing on the read energy data according to the parameter setting of the vector processor.
The peak search module can be realized by a hardware accelerator, and can access a data memory, read out 16 × p bits of energy data from the data memory each time, that is, read out p energy data, and compare the energy data read out each time in a pipeline manner by dividing the energy data read out each time into two times, that is, the energy data read out each time are simultaneously sent to a first group of comparison circuits and a second group of comparison circuits for comparison, after all the energy data are read and compared, the comparison result is screened to find a peak search, and each scanning can find a plurality of peaks.
The peak value searching module mainly comprises two groups of comparison circuits and a max _ sort circuit, wherein the two groups of comparison circuits scan the data memory line by line to obtain energy data, meanwhile, after each row of the obtained energy data is compared and screened, a peak value candidate is obtained, and then the max _ sort circuit screens the obtained peak value candidate to obtain a peak value. The two groups of comparison circuits are similar in structure, the first group of comparison circuits obtains a main peak candidate from the obtained energy data, the second group of comparison circuits obtains a secondary peak candidate from the obtained energy data, after all the energy data needing to be searched are read and screened, the max _ sort circuit obtains the main peak candidate from the first group of comparison circuits, the second group of comparison circuits obtains the secondary peak candidate, and the obtained main peak candidate and the secondary peak candidate are respectively sorted, false peaks are eliminated, comparison and the like, and a plurality of peaks are obtained. Thus, after one round of search, 2 to 2p peaks can be searched, where p is the number of energy data read per line. And if the number of the found peak values is smaller than the preset threshold value n of the number of the peak values, continuing to perform next scanning until the number of the found peak values reaches the preset threshold value n of the number of the peak values.
As shown in fig. 4, the first group of comparison circuits includes p first adders, p first data registers max _ vec0[ ], and p first address registers addr _ vec0[ ], wherein each first adder in the first group of comparison circuits is used to obtain the maximum value in the read data sequence, i.e. to obtain the main peak candidate, the first data register max _ vec0[ ] is used to store the main peak candidate, e.g. max _ vec0[ p ] indicated by a dashed box in fig. 5 is used to store the p-th main peak candidate, and the first address register addr _ vec0[ ] is used to store the address of the main peak candidate; the second set of compare circuits includes p second adders, p second data registers max _ vec1[ ], and p second address registers addr _ vec1[ ]. Each second adder in the second group of comparison circuits is used for obtaining the second largest value of the read data sequence, namely obtaining the second peak candidate, the second data register max _ vec1[ ] is used for storing the second peak candidate, and the second address register addr _ vec1[ ] is used for storing the address of the second peak candidate. As shown in fig. 5, the max _ sort circuit includes p comparison units, each of which includes an adder, a data register, and an address register.
In practical application, if p energy data are stored in one bank of the data memory, where p is an integer greater than 0, the p energy data are read into the first group of comparison circuits at a time, and in order to implement parallel comparison, the first group of comparison circuits needs to include p adders, and the second group of comparison circuits also needs to include p adders. The number of adders in the first group of comparison circuits can also be adjusted according to the number of energy data which are actually required to be processed in parallel.
Specifically, the peak search module performs a peak search process, which includes the following specific steps:
step 0: the vector processor writes a peak search parameter to be configured in the peak search module and configures the peak search parameter for the peak search module;
specifically, the peak search parameters configured by the vector processor may include: the data reading method comprises the steps of a source data address src _ data _ addr for indicating an address of energy data to be read, a data length data _ len for reading the energy data, a peak value number threshold value n, a clear threshold value m which is the number of data to be cleared/masked on the left side and the right side of a main peak value candidate or a secondary peak value candidate, an address addr _ vec0 of a main peak value, an address addr _ vec1 of a secondary peak value, an address Dest _ add for storing the peak value in a data memory, a parameter Dest _ se1 for indicating whether the data is stored in a register or a data memory, and the like.
In practical application, the number m of data to be cleared/shielded on the left and right sides of the peak value is an empirical parameter, and a smaller value can be set if the filtering effect is good or the signal-to-noise ratio of the radio frequency signal is high.
Step 1: when starting, the clear control circuit clears the p data registers and the p address registers in the first group of comparison circuits.
Step 2: the first p energy data are directly stored in the first data register max _ vec0[ ], and the second data register max _ vec1[ ] is cleared.
Here, p energy data may be read in each clock cycle, where p is an integer greater than 0, and is related to an organization structure of a data memory storing the energy data, and specifically may be the number of energy data stored in each row of the data memory.
And step 3: verifying whether unread energy data exist in the data memory, if so, reading p energy data from the data memory storing the energy data, and continuing to the step 4, otherwise, continuing to the step 6;
and 4, step 4: respectively executing the following processing procedures on each energy data in the read p data to find a primary peak candidate and a secondary peak candidate, and continuing to the step 5:

step B, the k-th energy data k read in is sent to a k-th first adder of the first group of comparison circuits, the k-th first adder compares the input k-th energy data with a main peak candidate currently stored in a k-th first data register max _ vec0[ k ], if the k-th energy data is larger than the main peak candidate currently stored in a k-th first data register max _ vec0[ k ], the step C is continued; otherwise, continuing the step D;
step C, updating a kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ] and a kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ], inputting the value of the main peak candidate currently stored in the kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ] into a kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ] by a kth second adder, modifying the value of the current stored secondary peak candidate of the kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ] into the value of the current stored main peak candidate of the kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ], the read kth energy data are input into a kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ] by a kth first adder, and the kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ] modifies the value of the main peak candidate currently stored by the kth first adder into the kth energy data;
meanwhile, the kth second adder inputs the address of the main peak candidate currently stored in the kth first address register addr _ vec0[ k ] into the kth second address register addr _ vec1[ k ], and the kth second address register addr _ vec1[ k ] modifies the address of the current-stored secondary peak candidate into the address of the current-stored main peak candidate in the kth first address register addr _ vec0[ k ]; the kth first adder inputs the read address of the kth energy data into a kth first address register addr _ vec1[ k ], and the kth first address register addr _ vec1[ k ] modifies the current main peak candidate address stored by the kth first address register addr _ vec1[ k ] into the address of the kth energy data;
step D, inputting the read energy data k into a kth second adder of a second group of comparison circuits, comparing the input kth energy data with a current stored secondary peak candidate of a kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ], and continuing to the step E if the kth energy data is larger than the current stored secondary peak candidate of the kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ]; otherwise, ending the current flow;
step E, the kth second adder updates the kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ], the read-in kth energy data is input into the kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ], and the value of the current stored secondary peak candidate of the kth second data register max _ vec1[ k ] is modified into the kth energy data;
meanwhile, the kth second adder inputs the read address of the kth energy data into the kth second address register addr _ vec1[ k ], and the kth second address register addr _ vec1[ k ] modifies the current saved sub-peak candidate address into the address of the kth energy data, and the current process is ended.
Step F, inputting the read k-th energy data k into a k-th first adder, comparing the input k-th energy data with a main peak candidate currently stored in a k-th first data register max _ vec0[ k ], and if the k-th energy data is larger than the main peak candidate currently stored in the k-th first data register max _ vec0[ k ], continuing to the step G; otherwise, ending the current flow;
and G, updating the kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ], inputting the read-in kth energy data into the kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ] by the kth first adder, modifying the value of the main peak candidate currently stored by the kth first data register max _ vec0[ k ] into the kth energy data, and ending the current process.
Meanwhile, the kth first adder inputs the read address of the kth energy data into the kth first address register addr _ vec0[ k ], the kth first address register addr _ vec0[ k ] modifies the current saved main peak candidate address into the address of the kth energy data, and the current process is ended.
And 5: clearing/shielding the obtained main peak candidate, the obtained secondary peak candidate, the zero clearing threshold m data on the left side and the right side of the main peak candidate and the zero clearing threshold m data on the left side and the right side of the secondary peak candidate from a data memory, and returning to the step 3;
in practical applications, it is necessary to perform the zero/mask operation after each peak scan.
Thus, after data _ len/p cycles, after all energy data have been read, the first data register max _ vec0[ ] holds p primary peak candidates, and the second data register max _ vec1[ ] holds p secondary peak candidates.
Step 6: the max _ sort circuit screens the primary peak candidates stored in each data register in the first group of comparison circuits and the secondary peak candidates stored in each data register in the second group of comparison circuits to find two or more peaks, and the specific process is as follows:
step a: the max _ sort circuit acquires a main peak candidate from each data register in the first group of comparison circuits and acquires a secondary peak candidate from each data register in the second group of comparison circuits, and the acquired main peak candidate and the secondary peak candidate are sorted from large to small respectively and are subjected to false peak elimination processing;
step b: the max _ sort circuit compares the largest secondary peak candidate among the secondary peak candidates with each of the primary peak candidates, determines all the primary peak candidates and all the secondary peak candidates as peaks to be searched if the largest secondary peak candidate is smaller than the smallest primary peak candidate among the primary peak candidates, and otherwise determines each of the primary peak candidates and the largest secondary peak candidate larger than the largest secondary peak candidate as a peak.
In order to avoid searching false peaks, false peaks in the primary peak candidates and the secondary peak candidates need to be eliminated when the primary peak candidates and the secondary peak candidates are sorted.
Here, the false peak is a peak of any one of the left and right threshold energy data of the primary peak candidate and/or the secondary peak candidate.
In practical application, the process of sorting the main peak candidates and eliminating the false peaks may be as follows:
step c, a max _ sort circuit reads a main peak candidate from a first data register max _ vec0[ ] for the first time, simultaneously reads the address of the main peak candidate from a first address register addr _ vec0[ ], stores the main peak candidate as max0, clears max _1, max _2, and max _ p-1, stores the address of the main peak candidate as addr _0, and clears addr _1, and addr _ p-1;
d, verifying whether p main peak value candidates have been read by a max _ sort circuit, if so, continuing to the step h, otherwise, continuing to the step e;
step e, the max _ sort circuit continues to read the main peak candidate from the first data register max _ vec0[ ], and simultaneously, reads the address of the main peak candidate from the first address register addr _ vec0[ ];
step f, a max _ sort circuit compares the read-in main peak value rear selector with max _0, max _1,. and max _ p-1, and simultaneously compares the address of the read-in main peak value rear selector with the difference value between addr _0, addr _1,. and addr _ p-1 and a zero clearing threshold value m;
step g, according to the comparison result in the step f, the max _ sort circuit stores the read main peak candidate as max _ k (k is 0, 1, 2,.. multidot.p-1), and stores the address of the main peak candidate as the corresponding addr _ k;
the operations in this step involve copy and shift operations between max _0, max _ 1.
For example, if the read main peak candidate is smaller than the data in max _1 and larger than max _2, the difference between the address addr _ in and the address addr _1 of the main peak candidate is larger than a zero clearing threshold m, and the difference between the address addr _ in and the address addr _2 of the main peak candidate is larger than the zero clearing threshold m, then max _2 is stored as max _3, and the read main peak candidate is stored as max _ 2; if the read main peak candidate is smaller than max _1 and larger than max _2, the difference value between the address addr _ in and the address addr _1 of the main peak candidate is larger than the zero clearing threshold m, and the difference value between the address addr _ in and the address addr _2 of the main peak candidate is not larger than the zero clearing threshold m, then max _2 is a false peak value and is invalid, at this time, only max _1 needs to be stored as max _2, and so on.
Step h, finishing sorting p main peak value candidates from large to small by a max _ sort circuit to obtain a main peak value candidate sequence (max _0, max _1,.. multidot., max _ p-1) and a corresponding main peak value candidate address sequence (addr _0, addr _1,. multidot., addr _ p-1);
similarly, the max _ sort circuit may sort the p secondary peak candidates in the second data register max _ vec1[ ] from large to small, and at the same time, eliminate the false peaks therein to obtain a secondary peak candidate sequence (smax _0, smax _1,. once.smax _ p-1) and a corresponding secondary peak candidate address sequence (saddr _0, saddr _1,. once.saddr _ p-1).
Finally, the max _ sort circuit compares the maximum value smax _0 in the secondary peak candidate sequence with each primary peak candidate in the primary peak candidate sequence (max _0, max _ 1.,. max _ p-1), and if max _ k-1 < smax _0 < max _ k, k is 0, 1.., p-1, then k primary peak candidates in max _0, max _ 1.,. max _ k and the maximum value smax _0 in the secondary peak candidate sequence are determined as peaks, and k peaks are finally searched; if smax _0 is smaller than the minimum value max _ p-1 of the primary peak candidates, p secondary peak candidates in the secondary peak candidate sequence (smax _0, smax _ 1.,. smax _ p-1) and p primary peak candidates in the primary peak candidate sequence (max _0, max _ 1.,. max _ p-1) are determined as peaks, and finally 2p maximum values are searched.
In practical applications, when relatively large data in the energy data is dispersed, the address difference values of p primary peak candidates in the first data register max _ vec0[ ] are greater than m, the address difference values of p secondary peak candidates in the second data register max _ vec1[ ] are also greater than m, and the probability of finding the number of peaks is shown in table 1 below, where x depends on the number of peaks screened by the second group of comparison circuits.
TABLE 1
The average number of peaks found (weighted average) according to the above method is: (2+3+4+5+. + p +2p)/p, for example, p ═ 8, and the average number of peaks found per search run is about 6.
Here, after each round of search, the max _ sort circuit may also save the resulting peak to the address Dest _ addr of the data memory, or to a register for easy access, according to the setting of the parameter Dest _ sel.
And 7: and (3) judging whether the number of the searched peak values reaches a preset 'peak value number threshold value n', if so, ending the current process, otherwise, returning to the step 1, repeating the peak value searching process, performing the next round of peak value searching, and repeating the steps until the number of the searched peak values reaches the preset 'peak value number threshold value n'.
The peak search process described above has the following characteristics:
firstly, two groups of comparison circuits are adopted, each column is searched in parallel in the searching process, and the parallel searching is carried out according to each column, so that the reading operation of a memory can be reduced, the power consumption is saved, and the peak searching speed and hardware logic resources, such as the area of a chip, are considered.
Secondly, two groups of comparison circuits are adopted, so that only 1/p of probability obtains 2 maximum values after each round of scanning, the probability of obtaining 3 maximum values is 1/p, and the maximum value can be obtained at most 2p, and the input-output ratio is very high.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
