Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and relates to a testing device and a testing method for testing output distortion of a frequency hopping transmitter by using a broadband receiver based on a multi-tone local oscillator as a sampling loop.
Background
In the conventional communication mode, the transmission frequency is fixed and unchanged, so the interference and the interception are easy to happen. The frequency hopping communication technology is rapidly developed by virtue of the advantages of strong anti-interference performance, easy realization of code division multiple access and strong anti-fading capability. Meanwhile, with the development of modulation technology, after the signal is modulated, non-constant envelope and high peak-to-average power ratio characteristics appear, which cause strong nonlinear distortion of the signal through a power amplifier, and great influence is caused on the correct transmission and reception of the signal. Accurately testing the non-linear characteristics of a frequency hopping transmitter is therefore crucial to the design of frequency hopping communication systems.
In order to test the nonlinear characteristics of a frequency hopping transmitter, an ideal receiver is used to obtain the output signal of the transmitter, and then nonlinear index analysis is performed in combination with a known test input signal. The conventional receiver is designed in the following two ways: (1) and the local oscillation frequency of the receiver and the frequency hopping transmitter synchronously hop, and received signals are directly converted to a baseband for processing. However, the method has the disadvantages that when the number of frequency hopping points is large or the frequency hopping rate is high, the local oscillation frequency of the receiving end must be strictly and completely synchronized with the hopping of the local oscillation frequency of the transmitting end, otherwise, the frequency cannot be correctly converted; meanwhile, the frequency hopping of the local oscillator at the receiving end may cause distortion, so that the nonlinearity introduced by the frequency hopping of the receiver cannot be distinguished. (2) And the receiver samples all signals in a certain frequency band, the frequency band comprises all hopping points, and then the sampled data is processed to obtain an output signal corresponding to the input signal. The method has the disadvantages that when the number of frequency hopping points is large or the frequency hopping interval is wide, the bandwidth required to be sampled is wide, high requirements are provided for the design of modules such as an ADC sampling rate and a frequency conversion channel, the cost is very high, and the realization is difficult.
Therefore, designing a nonlinear testing device for a frequency hopping transmitter is a very challenging problem in terms of system implementation cost, local oscillator signal synchronization problem, testing accuracy and the like.

The basic principle of the broadband receiver module based on the multi-tone local oscillator is that the multi-tone local oscillator is used for carrying out down-conversion on frequency hopping signals in a broadband frequency range, so that sampling can be carried out by an ADC (analog to digital converter) with a low sampling rate. The broadband receiver module based on the multi-tone local oscillator comprises: the device comprises a multi-tone local oscillator generating unit, a frequency mixer, an analog low-pass filter and an analog-to-digital converter.
The multi-tone local oscillation generating unit filters the square wave signal by using a band-pass filter, so as to obtain the multi-tone signal in a specific frequency range. The unit comprises three modules of an FPGA, a band-pass filter and a power amplifier as shown in FIG. 4; the FPGA is used for generating periodic square wave signals, the band-pass filter filters multi-tone signals in a specific frequency range in the periodic square wave signals, and the power amplifier amplifies the multi-tone signals to meet the power requirement of the mixer on local oscillator input.
The input of the frequency mixer is a multi-tone signal generated by a multi-tone local oscillation generating unit and a frequency hopping test signal, and the frequency mixer is used for carrying out down-conversion on the frequency hopping test signal to obtain a frequency hopping test intermediate frequency signal; the frequency hopping test intermediate frequency signal is filtered through the analog low-pass filter, so that the analog-to-digital converter can sample without aliasing; and the analog-to-digital converter performs analog-to-digital conversion on the filtered frequency hopping test intermediate frequency signal to obtain a digitized baseband output signal.
As shown in fig. 5, the baseband signal processing unit includes five modules, namely a channel compensation module, a spectrum shift module, a digital filtering module, a delay alignment module and a distortion analysis module, which are sequentially cascaded.
The channel compensation module compensates distortion caused by non-ideal characteristics of devices of a previous stage broadband receiver based on multi-tone local oscillation through a digital method, wherein the distortion comprises signal distortion caused by unbalanced local oscillation amplitude, unevenness in a low-pass filter band and the like.
The frequency spectrum shifting module is used for eliminating frequency offset between the baseband output signal and the baseband input signal. Because the frequency of the multi-tone signal is not completely consistent with the frequency of the frequency hopping test signal, after the baseband output signal is obtained through one-time down-conversion, the frequency deviation of the central frequency from the zero frequency point still exists, the frequency deviation is not more than 0.5 time of the frequency interval of the multi-tone signal, so that the frequency spectrum shifting is needed, and the further distortion analysis is conveniently carried out by subsequently combining the baseband input signal.

s1.1: and giving a baseband input signal of the frequency hopping transmitter to be tested.

S3.2: the baseband output signal is frequency shifted. Since the center frequency of the baseband output signal obtained in step S2 has a frequency offset not exceeding 0.5 times of the frequency interval of the multi-tone signal from the zero frequency point, the baseband output signal needs to be subjected to frequency spectrum shifting, so that the center frequency of the baseband output signal is zero frequency.

In order to more clearly illustrate the method for testing the nonlinear distortion of the frequency hopping transmitter, the present invention will be further described with reference to an embodiment. This section is for illustration purposes only as to the specific configuration of the modules therein and should not be construed as limiting the patent.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 6, in this embodiment, the frequency hopping points of the target frequency hopping test signal are 1.2GHz, 1.23GHz, and 1.26GHz, and the signal bandwidth is 60M. In order to enable the signal output by the mixing to be located near the baseband, the local oscillator signal of the mixer is adjusted to be a multi-tone signal with a frequency close to the frequency hopping frequency point, for example, the frequency points are 1080MHz, 1200MHz, 1320MHz, 1440MHz, where the multi-tone signal is determined through step S1.3 in the test method, so as to avoid the mixing output from generating spectrum aliasing. At any moment, the output of the mixer has a complete copy of the original signal with frequency offset from zero frequency not more than 0.5 times the frequency interval of the multi-tone signal, as shown in fig. 6(c), and an analog low-pass filter with a certain bandwidth can be used to filter out the out-of-band signal that is not considered, as shown in fig. 6(d), and ensure that the ADC can sample at a lower sampling rate without aliasing. However, since there is a spectrum offset between the multitone signal and the frequency hopping test signal at some time, such as at time t2 and time t3 in fig. 6(d), this center frequency point difference can be eliminated by spectrum shifting, as shown in fig. 6 (e). After the frequency spectrum is shifted, the out-of-band signal is filtered by a digital filtering method, so as to obtain the frequency hopping distortion signal located at the baseband at different times, as shown in fig. 6 (f). By the mode of using the multi-tone signal to carry out down-conversion on the frequency hopping test signal, the sampling rate requirement of an ADC (analog to digital converter) in a sampling loop is greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the local oscillator signal does not have the requirement of strict synchronization of frequency and phase, so that the method has wide application prospect.
