Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a signal processing device applicable in a communication device, and more particularly, to a signal processing device capable of effectively reducing the influence of radio frequency interference on system performance.
Background
Communication systems typically include communication devices such as transmitters and receivers. The transmitter sets the signal to be transmitted, e.g., one or more symbols, to a corresponding voltage level according to the content carried by the signal during modulation, and transmits the signal after appropriate processing (e.g., signal processing such as encoding, amplifying, etc.). The receiver is responsible for receiving the signal and processing the received signal. The receiver circuit typically includes a decision device, or slicer, for determining the voltage level corresponding to the symbol transmitted by the transmitter. However, in most communication systems, interference generated from outside or inside may cause the transmission signal to deviate in voltage, for example, noise in the transmission channel may cause the voltage level of the transmission signal to deviate from its ideal voltage level (i.e., the voltage level set by the transmitting end), which may further cause the decision device to determine an error.
In view of this, the communication device is typically configured with associated circuitry/devices to compensate for the effects of the channel effects on the signal. The compensation circuit/device can adjust/train the relevant parameters in an adaptive manner, so that the channel effect compensation performance can be optimized. However, the environment in which the parameters are typically trained does not include the radio frequency interference that is actually present in the real communication environment. Therefore, although the parameters of the compensation circuit/device can be adjusted to the optimal values during the training process, the overall performance of the receiver circuit is still affected by the radio frequency interference when the receiver circuit actually starts to operate. For example, since the rf front-end circuitry and/or compensation circuitry/devices of the receiver typically perform some degree of post-amplification processing on the received signal, unwanted rf interference components are also amplified. When the radio frequency interference becomes too large after amplification, the voltage level offset of the required signal is too large, and the receiving end misjudges due to the too large voltage level offset, so that the communication efficiency is reduced. If the receiving end continuously generates the problem of misjudgment or packet error, serious consequences such as the connection interruption of the receiving end and the transmitting end can be finally caused.
Disclosure of Invention
An objective of the present invention is to provide a signal processing method and a related signal processing apparatus, so as to solve the problem of excessive radio frequency interference. In the signal processing method and the corresponding signal processing device, the frequency response of the equalizer can be effectively weakened by limiting the parameters of the equalizer in the frequency domain or in the time domain.
An embodiment of the invention provides a signal processing apparatus, which includes a decision feedback equalizer and a coefficient adjustment circuit. The decision feedback equalizer comprises a first equalizer for performing a filtering operation on a first signal according to a set of first coefficients to generate a first filtered signal, wherein the set of first coefficients comprises a plurality of first coefficients. The coefficient adjustment circuit is used for adaptively adjusting one or more of the first coefficients according to an error signal. A limiting operation of the first coefficients is more selectively performed, and when the limiting operation of the first coefficients is performed, at least one of the first coefficients is set to a first predetermined value to generate a limited set of first coefficients.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a signal processing method, including: adaptively adjusting a set of first coefficients of a first equalizer according to an error signal, wherein the set of first coefficients comprises a plurality of first coefficients; selectively performing a limiting operation of the set of first coefficients in response to a control signal after adaptively adjusting the set of first coefficients, wherein at least one of the first coefficients is set to a first predetermined value when the limiting operation is performed to generate a set of limited first coefficients; and providing the set of first coefficients or the set of restricted first coefficients to the first equalizer, so that the first equalizer performs a filtering operation according to the set of first coefficients or the set of restricted first coefficients, wherein the set of first coefficients and the set of restricted first coefficients are coefficients of the first equalizer in a time domain.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a signal processing method, including: adaptively adjusting a set of first coefficients of a first equalizer according to an error signal, wherein the set of first coefficients comprises a plurality of first coefficients; and providing the set of first coefficients or the set of restricted first coefficients to the first equalizer, causing the first equalizer to perform a filtering operation according to the set of first coefficients or the set of restricted first coefficients, wherein the set of first coefficients and the set of restricted first coefficients are coefficients of the first equalizer in the frequency domain, and wherein the step of adaptively adjusting the set of first coefficients of the first equalizer according to the error signal comprises: selectively performing a limiting operation of the set of first coefficients in response to a control signal, wherein at least one of the first coefficients is also adaptively adjusted according to a weakening factor when the limiting operation is performed to produce the set of limited first coefficients.

The signal processing apparatus 100 is suitable for a communication apparatus, such as a receiver in a communication system, for processing received signals. The signal processing apparatus 100 may include a decision feedback equalizer 110 and a coefficient adjustment circuit 120. Decision feedback equalizer 110 may include equalizer 111 and equalizer 112, combiner 113, and decision device 114. The equalizer 111 performs a filtering operation on the signal d (n) according to a set of first coefficients to generate a filtered signal d_f (n), wherein the set of first coefficients may include a plurality of first coefficients, and the signal d (n) is an output signal (or referred to as a decision signal) of the decision device 114.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an exemplary coefficient adjustment circuit according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the coefficient adjustment circuit 220 may include a plurality of multipliers (e.g., multipliers 221, 222, 225, and 226), a plurality of combiners (e.g., combiners 223 and 227), and a plurality of delay circuits (e.g., delay circuits 224 and 228) for adjusting the coefficient c according to the error signal e (n), the decision signal d (n), the input signal x (n), and the feedback coefficient i (n) and b j (n) generating coefficient c i (n+1) and b j (n+1)。
According to the first embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the above-described adaptation, the coefficient b of the equalizer 111 is responsive to a control signal constraint_en j A limiting operation of (n) may also be optionally performed. Coefficient b when the limiting operation is performed j In (n)Is set to a predetermined value to produce a restricted set of coefficients. The formula (3) shows the coefficient b j Limiting operation of (n):
b 1 (n)＝p 1 ，b 2 (n)＝p 2 ，…，b M (n)＝p M (3)
Wherein M is<=n, and p 1 ,p 2 ,…,p M Is a constant designed in advance.
FIG. 3 is a partial block diagram showing a signal processing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention for explaining the filtering operation of an equalizer and coefficients b j And (n) a limiting operation. In the first embodiment, the equalizer 111/311 is a feedback equalizer (FeedBack Equalizer, abbreviated as FBE), the equalizer 112/312 is a feedforward equalizer (FeedForward Equalizer, abbreviated as FFE), and the equalizers 111/311 and 112/312 perform filtering operation in the time domain. As shown in FIG. 3, the signals x (n) and d (n) are delayed by a plurality of delay circuits 331 and 332 to generate corresponding delayed signals, and the signals and the corresponding coefficients c are further processed by a plurality of multipliers 333 and 334 -K+1 (n)、c -K+2 (n)…c 0 (n)、c 1 (n)…c N+1 (n)、c N (n) and b 1 (n)…b N-1 (n)、b N (n) or a restricted coefficient p 1 ,p N-1 ,…,p N Multiplication to perform a filtering operation of the filter in the time domain.
As shown in FIG. 3, equalizer 311 may include a plurality of multiplexers 335 for selecting b in response to a control signal constraint_en generated by an external device j (n) or p j Is output to multiplier 333.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing an exemplary signal processing method according to the first embodiment of the invention. The signal processing method may be performed by a signal processing apparatus as shown in fig. 1 to 3, and includes the steps of:
step S402: a set of coefficients of the equalizer is adaptively adjusted according to an error signal. The adaptive adjustment performed by the coefficient adjustment circuits 120/220 as shown in equations (1) and (2) and in fig. 2.
Step S404: after adaptively adjusting the set of coefficients, a coefficient limiting operation is selectively performed in response to a control signal. When the limiting operation of the coefficients is not performed, the set of coefficients is not adjusted. When the coefficient limiting operation is performed, coefficient b 1 (n)～b N One or more coefficients b in (n) j (n) will be set to a predetermined value p j To produce a restricted set of coefficients. As shown in equation (3) and fig. 3, b is selectively set according to the control signal constraint_en j (n) or p j Outputs to the corresponding multiplier.
Step S406: the set of coefficients (when the limiting of the coefficients is not performed) or the set of limited coefficients (when the limiting of the coefficients is performed) is provided to the equalizer, causing the equalizer to perform a filtering operation based on the current coefficients. As shown in fig. 3, the corresponding coefficients are output by the multiplexer 335 to perform the filtering operation.
In the first embodiment of the present invention, the limiting operation of the coefficients is performed in the time domain. Setting the 1 st to M-th order coefficients of the equalizer 111/311 to a pre-designed constant by the limiting operation allows the frequency of the equalizer 112/312 to have a reduced gain value in response to a specific frequency band. Since the frequency responses of the equalizer 111/311 and the equalizer 112/312 are related to each other, when the 1 st to M-th order coefficients of the equalizer 111/311 are reshaped (reshape) by the limiting operation, the frequency response of the equalizer 112/312 correspondingly changes due to the reshaping of the coefficients of the equalizer 111/311 even if the coefficients of the equalizer 112/312 are not adjusted. It is assumed that equalizer 112/312 has a first frequency response when equalizer 111/311 performs a filtering operation based on coefficients that are not reshaped (i.e., coefficients generated based on an adaptation), and that equalizer 111/311 performs a filtering operation based on reshaped/constrained coefficients (i.e., one or more coefficients are set to p) j ) When performing the filtering operation, the equalizer 112/312 has a second frequency response, which has a reduced gain value in response to a particular frequency band as compared to the first frequency response.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an exemplary frequency response according to the first embodiment of the invention. The frequency response curve 501 represents the frequency response of the equalizer 112/312 when the equalizer 111/311 performs a filtering operation according to the coefficients that have not been reshaped, and the frequency response curve 502 represents the frequency response of the equalizer 112/312 when the equalizer 111/311 performs a filtering operation according to the reshaped/restricted coefficients. As can be seen, the frequency response curve 502 has a reduced gain value in the normalized frequency band of 0 to 0.7 (pi x radial degrees/sample times) compared to the frequency response curve 501, wherein the normalized frequency can be calculated as the frequency/sample frequency.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the limiting operation (reshaping) of the coefficients may be performed during the adaptive training of the coefficients, or may be performed after the adaptive training is completed. For example, the coefficients of the equalizers 111/311 and 112/312 may be adaptively adjusted during an adaptive training process according to the error signal e (n) in order to minimize the error signal e (n). After the adaptive training process is completed, the optimal coefficients are typically trained for the equalizers 111/311 and 112/312. After obtaining the optimal coefficients, the coefficient limiting operation of the feedback equalizer can be performed in the time domain according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the constant p 1 ,p 2 ,…,p M The frequency range over which the gain value is attenuated as desired can be designed in advance. In this way, even if the coefficients of the feedforward equalizer are not adjusted, by limiting the coefficients of the feedback equalizer, the frequency response of the feedforward equalizer can be changed correspondingly, so as to achieve the effect of weakening the gain value.

The decision device 614 may be a slicer (slicer) for generating the decision signal d (n) according to the processed signal x_p (n).
The signal processing device 600 may further comprise a further combiner 630 and a fast fourier transformation device 640. The combiner 630 is coupled to the combiner 613 and the decision device 614 for combining the processed signal x_p (n) and the decision signal d (n), e.g. subtracting the processed signal x_p (n) from the decision signal d (n), to generate the error signal e (n). The fast fourier transform device 640 is configured to perform fast fourier transform on the error signal E (n) in the time domain to generate the error signal E (n) in the frequency domain.
The coefficient adjustment circuit 620 may adaptively adjust one or more of the first coefficients and one or more of the second coefficients according to the error signals E (n) and E (n), the decision signal d (n), and the input signal X (n). Equations (4) and (5) show the adaptive adjustment operation performed in the coefficient adjustment circuit 620:
C k (n+1)＝(1-α i *leaky_on i )*C k (n)+μ c *X k (n)E k (n), i=1, …, P (4)

As shown, the coefficient adjustment circuit 720 may include a plurality of multipliers (e.g., multipliers 721, 722, 725, 726, 727), a plurality of combiners (e.g., combiners 723, 728), and a plurality of delay circuits (e.g., delay circuits 724, 729) for receiving the error signals E (n), E k (n), decision signal d (n) and input signal X k (n) coefficient C of feedback k (n) and b j (n) generating coefficient C k (n+1) and b j (n+1)。

In a second embodiment of the invention, the limiting operation (reshaping) of the coefficients of the feedforward equalizer (FFE) is performed in the frequency domain. Weakening one or more coefficients of equalizer 612/812 by the limiting operation according to a pre-designed weakening factor may cause the frequency response of equalizer 612/812 to have a weakened gain value in response to a particular frequency band.

The frequency response curve 1001 represents the frequency response when the equalizer 612/812 performs a filtering operation according to the coefficients that are not reshaped, and the frequency response curve 1002 represents the frequency response when the equalizer 612/812 performs a filtering operation according to the reshaped/restricted coefficients. As can be seen, the frequency response curve 1002 has a reduced gain value in the normalized frequency band of 0 to 0.8 (pi x radial degrees/sample times) compared to the frequency response curve 1001.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the limiting operation (reshaping) of the coefficients may be performed during adaptive training of the coefficients, or after obtaining the optimal coefficients. For example, the coefficients of the equalizers 611/811 and 612/812 may be adaptively adjusted during an adaptive training process according to the error signal e (n) in an effort to minimize the error signal e (n). After the adaptive training process is substantially complete, the optimal coefficients may typically be trained for the equalizers 611/811 and 612/812. After obtaining the optimal coefficients, the second embodiment of the present invention performs the coefficient limiting operation of the feedforward equalizer in the frequency domain, wherein the switch signal leakage_on i Attenuation factor alpha i The frequency range over which the gain value is attenuated as desired can be designed in advance. In this way, the frequency response of the feedforward equalizer may be correspondingly changed to achieve the effect of the attenuated gain value.
The foregoing description is only of the preferred embodiments of the invention, and all changes and modifications that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
