Transient pulse interference resisting device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of digital communication, in particular to an anti-transient pulse interference device and an anti-transient pulse interference method.
Background
Impulse interference is a common channel interference in a communication system, and when the impulse interference occurs, the quality of a received signal is seriously deteriorated, and the amplitude of the received signal even far exceeds the maximum processing voltage of a receiver, so that internal signals are saturated and completely distorted. When a pulse interference signal passes through an on-board coupling transformer, a passive analog filter and other analog devices, interference energy does not disappear rapidly due to the charging and discharging effects of an energy storage device or a parasitic inductance capacitor, the interference energy is weakened gradually after the external pulse interference disappears and continues to exist for a long time, and the pulse interference is called transient pulse interference. In practical communication systems, time delays of impulsive interference are always present.
Although the pulse interference amplitude of the time prolongation is not large and gradually attenuates, the energy of the pulse interference is still prone to cause signal saturation after the pulse interference amplitude is amplified by the amplifier, once the signal is saturated, the interference signal and the useful signal of the part cannot be further separated, and the interference action time of the original pulse signal is greatly widened.
