Method for generating a high speed pseudo random sequence signal said method comprising the steps of:
1. randomly generating a matrix with 4 rows and 127 columns by using MATLAB software, and corresponding each row of random numbers of the matrix to a pseudorandom sequence in a period;
2. changing-1 in the matrix into 0 to form a pseudo random code, and storing the pseudo random code in a RAM block of the FPGA;
3. and starting the GTX module, forming a group of 16 pseudo random codes in the RAM block, sending the pseudo random codes to a data transmission bus of the GTX module in parallel to obtain parallel data, and sending the parallel data out in a serial mode through a parallel-parallel serial-out module of a sending end of the GTX module to obtain a high-speed pseudo random sequence signal.
A RocketIO high-speed serial data transmission technique is employed to generate the high-speed pseudorandom sequence. The high-speed serial data Transceiver GTX (GTX) of the Xilinx FPGA has a plurality of data transmission channels, can meet the requirement of multi-channel mixing of a modulation broadband converter, and has extremely high transmission rate. In the XilinxVirtex5 series FPGA, the serial transmission rate can be set to 150Mb/s to 6.5Gb/s, and the highest rate can be achieved to be far higher than the Nyquist rate of signals in the system. The multi-path pseudo-random sequences generated by multiple groups of GTXs in the FPGA are easy to keep consistent.
In the hardware implementation of the modulation broadband converter, the sampling clock of the ADC and the reference clock for generating the pseudo-random sequence need to be kept synchronous or homologous to each other, so that the sampling data and the pseudo-random code can be strictly correlated to each other, thereby realizing accurate reconstruction of the original signal. Therefore, generating a 1.6Gb/s pseudorandom sequence with GTX requires providing the GTX with a 100MHz reference clock external to the FPGA. The clock module of the ADC generates a 20MHz clock signal to the frequency synthesizer 844003-01. The frequency synthesizer generates a 100MHz low voltage differential signal as the external reference clock for the GTX. A block diagram of a clock network for a high speed pseudorandom sequence generator is shown in fig. 11.
MATLAB software is used for randomly generating 4 rows and 127 columns of matrixes, and the equal probability randomly takes a value of +/-1. Each row of random numbers of the matrix corresponds to a pseudo-random sequence within a period. The-1 in the matrix is changed to 0 and loaded into the RAM block of the FPGA. After GTX starts, every 16 pseudo random codes In the RAM block are taken as a group and are sent to a data transmission bus TXDATA In Parallel, then Parallel data are sent Out In a Serial mode through a Parallel-Parallel Serial-Out module (PISO) module of a GTX sending end based on a high-speed Serial clock with good internal frequency multiplication of GTX, and a high-speed differential pseudo random sequence is obtained.
The time domain waveform and the frequency spectrum of the high-speed pseudorandom sequence are observed by an oscilloscope, and the code rate is 1.6Gb/s as shown in figures 12 and 13.
The broadband spectrum monitoring system is tested by respectively utilizing the single carrier frequency signal and the QPSK signal, and then the power synthesizer is utilized to synthesize the single carrier frequency signal and the QPSK signal into a sparse dual-band signal to verify the sensing capability of a hardware system of the modulation broadband converter on the broadband spectrum.
First, single carrier frequency signal testing. A signal source is used for generating a single-tone signal of 100MHz, the single-tone signal is divided into four paths by a power divider 4, the four paths of single-tone signal are mixed with a periodic pseudorandom sequence and are subjected to a low-pass filter, four paths of intermediate frequency signals are obtained, and the time domain waveforms of the four paths of single-tone signals are observed by an oscilloscope as shown in fig. 14. Analyzing the spectrum of the four sampling sequences is shown in fig. 15, the 100MHz frequency points are shifted many times, and a plurality of single-tone frequency points appear in the baseband. The recovery of the spectrum of the input signal by the reconstruction algorithm is shown in fig. 16. As can be seen from the results in fig. 16, the spectrum of the single carrier signal of 100MHz was successfully detected.
Second, QPSK signal testing. A QPSK signal with a carrier frequency of 400MHz and a bandwidth of 2MHz is generated by using a signal source, a filtered intermediate frequency signal is obtained by a low pass filter of the system, and four paths of signals observed by an oscilloscope are shown in fig. 17. After four sampling sequences are obtained, the spectrum of the four sampling sequences is analyzed as shown in fig. 18, after the QPSK signal is mixed with the periodic pseudorandom sequence, the spectrum of the signal is moved to the whole frequency band, and the spectrum of each sampling sequence is composed of a plurality of frequency bands. Fig. 19 shows the reconstructed signal spectrum, and it can be seen that a QPSK signal with a carrier frequency of 400MHz and a bandwidth of 2MHz is successfully detected.
Third, single carrier + QPSK signal test. And synthesizing the single carrier frequency signals and the QPSK signals of the two experiments into a sparse dual-band signal by using a power synthesizer to serve as an input signal of the system. Four paths of intermediate frequency signals are output by the system, and the actually measured waveforms are shown in figure 20. The frequency spectrum of the four signals sampled by the ADC module 22 is shown in fig. 21, and includes a plurality of single-frequency-point signals in addition to a plurality of band signals. It is shown that the sample sequence contains a mixture of single tone signals and QPSK signals. The spectrum of the finally reconstructed signal is shown in fig. 22, and the spectrum of the mixed signal is successfully recovered.
The sparse multi-band signal reconstruction method can complete reconstruction of sparse multi-band signals, has good spectrum sensing performance, and reduces noise interference and improves system stability by designing the signal pre-conditioning module, the power divider, the mixer, the low-pass filter, the intermediate frequency amplifier and the FPGA module on one board card; designing a high-speed pseudo-random sequence generator by utilizing a GTX module in an FPGA (field programmable gate array), and meeting the requirement of a modulation broadband converter system on processing broadband sparse signals; a four-channel modulation broadband converter hardware system capable of processing 50MHz-500MHz sparse multi-band signals is designed, and the frequency spectrum of an original signal can be effectively reconstructed.
