Background
DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converters) devices are used as important component devices of a transmitter system and widely applied to the fields of mobile communication and satellite communication. Because the DAC device is implemented by using a zero-order keeper, the DAC device inherently has fading in amplitude-frequency characteristics, which results in poor amplitude consistency in a bandwidth signal, and thus, the performance of a satellite communication system is affected. In a narrow band satellite communication system, the influence of the fading is negligible, but with the development of a multi-carrier broadband satellite communication technology, the inherent fading of the DAC device has become a problem to be solved in a broadband high-order modulation satellite communication system application.
In recent years, with the development requirement of a multi-carrier broadband communication technology, device manufacturers add configurable hardware units such as interpolation, filtering and the like in a DAC, so that the Sinc function fading is effectively reduced, processing except for the DAC device is not added, and the data transmission rate between devices is not increased. However, the method of increasing the slew rate by using the digital interpolation technique only reduces the influence of Sinc fading to an acceptable level, and does not eliminate the phenomenon from the generation mechanism, and the PCB design difficulty is increased and the device power consumption is increased.

Detailed Description
A zero-order retainer is adopted for the DAC device in implementation, so that inherent fading exists in amplitude-frequency characteristics of the DAC device, amplitude consistency in a bandwidth signal is poor, and performance of a satellite communication system is affected. In a narrow band satellite communication system, the influence of the fading is negligible, but with the development of a multi-carrier broadband satellite communication technology, the inherent fading of the DAC device has become a problem to be solved in a broadband high-order modulation satellite communication system application.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
referring to fig. 1, a method for preprocessing in-band unevenness caused by DAC, which adopts a digital filter to perform a compensation method of predistortion processing to solve the inherent fading problem of DAC devices, so as to achieve a signal processing procedure for improving in-band flatness of wideband signals;
the simulation verification platform for the in-band unevenness processing method caused by the pre-processing of the DAC is composed of an input module, an FEC coding module, an interleaving module, a constellation mapping module, a forming filtering module, a compensation digital filter module and an analog DAC fading module.
The input data module is an interface for inputting data.
The FEC encoding is to correct errors of code elements, and by adding error control code elements into the sending code elements, a receiving end can find the error codes by using the code element supplementary lists and can restore the error codes to correct values.
The interleaving is a device for realizing maximum change of information structure without changing information content.
The constellation mapping is to improve transmission efficiency.
The shaping filtering is a process of making the baseband signal into a form suitable for transmission.
The compensating digital filter solves the inherent fading problem of the DAC device so as to achieve the signal processing process of improving the in-band flatness of the broadband signal.
And the DAC carries out digital-to-analog conversion on the signals subjected to the molding filtering and outputs analog lower signals.
The compensation method for the digital filter to carry out the predistortion processing comprises the following steps:
a, interweaving an input Signal, performing constellation mapping, and forming and filtering to form Signal _ modu;
step B, taking the conversion rate f of the DAC devices(fs1GHz), filter order N33;
and C, designing a compensation digital filter by adopting a frequency domain sampling method, wherein the formula is as follows:
wherein,
step D, for the obtained hcomp(n) normalizing and quantizing, wherein the result is the coefficient of the compensation digital filter;
compensating the digital filter coefficients h for the wide bandcomp(n) normalized to:
compensating the digital filter coefficients h for the wide bandcomp(n) quantified as:
where round (×) is an integer function, D is the number of quantization bits of the DAC, which are used to digitize the amplitude axis of the analog audio signal and determine the dynamic range of the digitized analog signal.
Step E, because the direct construction of the zero-order retainer model of the DAC device in the MATLAB is difficult, when the fading characteristics of the Sinc function of the DAC device are designed in a simulation mode, the frequency domain sampling method which is the same as that in the step B is adopted, and the specific formula is as follows:
step F. for the obtained h'comp(n) normalizing and quantizing, wherein the result is the coefficient of the fading of the Sinc function of the DAC device;
g, interleaving, constellation mapping, forming and filtering to form Signal _ modu, outputting the Signal _ modu as Signal _ DAC through a DAC (convolution operation), and observing the frequency spectrum of the Signal at the moment by using an MATLAB self-contained tool;
Signal_dac=Signal_modu*h′comp(n)
step H, the method is the same as the above, the Signal _ modu Signal is output as Signal _ final after passing through the compensation digital filter and the DAC device, and then the frequency spectrum of the final output Signal is observed;
Signal_final=Signal_modu*hcomp(n)*h′comp(n)

in the formula, rect () is a rectangular function. It corresponds to a frequency response of:
wherein,
in the time domain:
in the frequency domain: y' (f) ═ Y (f) xhzoh(f)。
From the above analysis it can be seen that: due to the zero-order keeper adopted in the DAC device, when the digital signal is converted into the analog signal, the frequency spectrum of the digital signal is subjected to Sinc function fading. The specific value of fading is related to the conversion rate, signal frequency point and bandwidth of the DAC device used in the design, and can be calculated by referring to the following formula.
Wherein f is a signal frequency point, fsIs the slew rate.

Signal_dac=Signal_modu*h′comp(n)
step H, the method is the same as the above, the Signal _ modu Signal is output as Signal _ final after passing through the compensation digital filter and the DAC device, and then the frequency spectrum of the final output Signal is observed;
Signal_final=Signal_modu*hcomp(n)*h′comp(n)
