Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of receiver radio frequency link testing, and particularly relates to a comprehensive testing and modeling platform for a receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effect.
Background
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.
Because the radio frequency link of the receiver is formed by cascading a plurality of active devices and passive devices, the devices have nonlinear distortion, and each stage of module of a signal in the radio frequency link experiences nonlinear distortion to a certain degree, the nonlinear effect of the radio frequency link of the receiver is more complex than that of a single device. The design of the radio frequency link of the receiver is to adopt a certain receiver type to realize certain performance parameters (parameters such as gain, noise and the like) according to application requirements, so that the selection of devices is different from the number, the type, the performance and the like, and each radio frequency link of the receiver has respective uniqueness.
At present, the testing and modeling of the nonlinear effect mainly focuses on the testing and modeling on the device level, and particularly takes the nonlinear effect modeling of the low noise amplifier as a representative. In terms of testing receiver nonlinear effects, there are currently several ways to test receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effects:
(1) the magnitude of the interference signal level is recorded in dBuV or dBm. Firstly, applying a sensitivity signal level at the input end of a receiver to obtain an output signal level; then two strong interference signal levels are applied to the receiver, the interference signal levels are adjusted so that the intermodulation products generated are equal in magnitude to the previous output signal levels, and the nonlinearity of the receiver is characterized by the strength of the interference signal levels at that time. The method cannot test the nonlinear effect when small signals are excited.
(2) The method of intermodulation factors is as above except that the difference between the level of the strong interfering signal and the level of the sensitive signal is recorded in dB. For example, the intermodulation factor of a receiver is 80dB, which means that the interference signal level is at least 80dB greater than the sensitivity signal level, producing the same output signal level. This definition method is applicable to strong interference situations.
(3) Two and three order intermodulation intercept values are adopted, and the unit is dBm. The second and third order intermodulation intercept point values are a hypothetical signal level value, but are more convenient in engineering application. Firstly, it is independent of the magnitude of the input signal level and can be easily used to compare the merits of the nonlinear performance of different receiver radio frequency links, secondly, it has a definite relationship with the Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of the receiver, and thirdly, the second and third order intermodulation intercept values can be used to estimate the relationship between the useful signal level and the level of the intermodulation products, for example, when the receiver inputs the third order intermodulation intercept value of 20dBm, in the case of-lOdBm input signal, the third order intermodulation products have a magnitude of-70 dBm. Finally, the concept of a cut-off value is well suited for the analysis of the performance of the cascade of circuits inside the receiver.
The third-order intercept point is an important index for measuring the linearity of the receiver, but the third-order intercept point of the system cannot be directly measured. During actual measurement, the receiving system saturates the constant amplitude double tone signal generated by the power synthesizer before the input signal reaches the third-order intercept point, the constant amplitude double tone signal is added to the input end of the receiver, the constant amplitude double tone signal is adjusted until the output end generates the third-order intermodulation component, the relative inhibition degree of the fundamental component to the three-order intermodulation quantity is measured, and then the input third-order intercept point can be estimated.
(4) The most advanced international non-linear testing Technique is currently the dual-Frequency automatic testing Technique (ADFTT) proposed by the electromagnetic compatibility research and development laboratory of the university of radio technology and national information and russia. The two signal sources are used for respectively carrying out fast scanning and slow scanning in the test frequency band, so that frequency combinations covering all double-frequency signals in the test frequency band can be generated, a tested receiving system is tested, the used excitation signals are not omitted in the frequency combinations, and all nonlinear responses of a tested receiver can be excited theoretically.
With the development of Nonlinear circuit theory, some behavioral level methods for analyzing a receiver radio frequency link are proposed in succession, including time domain Analysis, widely used harmonic balance method, Volterra series Analysis method suitable for weak Nonlinear circuit Analysis, and Discrete Nonlinear Analysis (DNA) method based on polynomial approximation technique, etc.
The nonlinear effect model can be roughly divided into a physical model at a circuit level and a behavioral model at a system level. The nonlinear characterization of the components in the circuit model requires the establishment of a small-signal equivalent model and a large-signal analysis model under direct-current bias, the simulation result is accurate, but the calculation is time-consuming. The behavior model, also called black box model, is mainly used for describing the behavior characteristics of the nonlinear circuit or system, and because the internal physical structure of the circuit or system does not need to be considered and only depends on the input and output data of the circuit or system, the behavior model can be used for carrying out analysis on the system under the condition of lacking an actual circuit schematic diagram, and has higher computational efficiency.
Nonlinear systems can be classified into memoryless systems and memoryless systems. A memoryless system means that the output signal is a transient response of the input signal, independent of past conditions. With memory systems, the output is related to not only the current input, but also the past state.
The analysis of the nonlinear system is far more complex than the analysis of the linear system, and various nonlinear models in different forms can be established according to different requirements. According to the nature of the system, the model can be divided into a non-memory model and a memory model. The modeling mode can be divided into two types, namely behavior modeling based on system behaviors and physical models based on circuit device simulation. The behavior model is to regard the system as a black box, and describe the system through the input and output characteristics of the system. Physical models analyze the characteristics of a system by building the internal structure of the system. For each of the above models, parameters of the system need to be determined to describe a nonlinear system. There are two main methods for parameter determination, analytical method and experimental method. The analytic method is to determine specific parameters according to the physical principle of the system and given conditions. The experimental method is to obtain actual data through measurement and determine system parameters through interpolation, tabulation or curve fitting.
A large number of models already exist for modeling a nonlinear system, the models generally adopted for modeling the memoryless nonlinear system include a power series model, a display look-up table (LUT) model, a Saleh model, a memoryless polynomial model, a complex single-input single-output feedforward neural network model, a double-input double-output real number neural network model, a memoryless neural network model and the like, and the memoryless nonlinear model cannot accurately reflect the dynamic nonlinearity of a radio frequency link of a receiver.
The memory nonlinear system can be generally expressed by a functional series expansion, and the model comprises a memory polynomial model, a Volterra series model, a generalized memory polynomial model, a Hammerstein model, a Wiener model, an improved Hammerstein model, an improved Wiener model, a multi-type combination model, a neural network structure with different time delay topological structures based on a BP algorithm and the like.
The research cross of the nonlinear effect is strong, the related scope is wide, and a standard and unified research method is not formed yet. At the present stage, there are two main research technical routes: one is from the experiment, obtain a large amount of nonlinear effect data through the experimental actual measurement, carry out data statistics analysis, summarize some macroscopic nonlinear effect laws. Meanwhile, a corresponding database is established and a statistical model is established under data analysis. And secondly, starting from a nonlinear effect model, establishing a basic model, performing theoretical analysis and simulation by using the model, and performing model verification through experiments to obtain an effect rule. However, the former is based on experiments, only mathematical statistics can be carried out from the phenomenon level, and powerful analysis and understanding of effect mechanisms are lacked; in the latter case, the modeling reliability of the basic model is low and the knowledge of regularity can only be obtained.
Therefore, the current comprehensive test and modeling platform for the nonlinear effect of the radio frequency link of the receiver is still in a blank state, the test platform is temporarily set up during nonlinear research, and a primary test result is applied to other aspects of research and application of the radio frequency link of the receiver.

Example one
A comprehensive test and modeling platform for receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effects comprises: the system comprises a signal source, a band-pass filter, a receiver radio frequency link, a test board card and an upper computer which are connected in sequence, wherein signals processed by the band-pass filter are input into the receiver radio frequency link, the receiver radio frequency link is output to the test board card, and the signals processed by the test board card are output to the upper computer; the test board outputs according to the relation between the input power and the output power, the test board comprises: model coefficients under the current receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effect model type, an automatic double-frequency graph of a selectable bandwidth range, the receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effect model type after data fitting, a model coefficient real-time corresponding graph of input and output power under different frequency points and relevant parameters of the receiver to an upper computer, and the relevant parameters are displayed by the upper computer.
The invention provides a universal test platform for the nonlinear effect of a receiver (microwave device) for the first time, and the universal test platform is capable of integrating functions of a two-dimensional/three-dimensional double-frequency graph, a model type, a real-time model coefficient, an input and output power graph under different frequency points, nonlinear effect related parameters (1dB compression point and the like), a receiver model coefficient under long-time test (a stability coefficient obtained by long-time test and data fitting after different models are selected), and the like, and selecting different model types and calculating corresponding model coefficients.
As shown in fig. 1, the most important point of the present invention is to realize a universal integrated test and modeling platform, which can be used for testing and modeling the nonlinear effect of radio frequency links of various types of receivers in multiple frequency bands between 150MHz and 40GHz, and can display functions such as a two-dimensional/three-dimensional dual-frequency diagram, a model type, a real-time model coefficient, an input/output power diagram at different frequency points, a nonlinear effect related parameter (such as 1dB compression point) and a receiver model coefficient (a stability coefficient obtained by long-time test and data fitting after different models are selected) under a long-time test on an upper computer interface.
Generally, a dual-tone signal is used for testing a nonlinear effect, and in reality, an electromagnetic environment is complex, and an interference signal is not in a path, so that a three-path signal source (capable of realizing frequency sweeping within a certain bandwidth) is used for inputting to simulate a real electromagnetic environment. A user can select a single-path signal source, a two-path signal source or a three-path signal source to input according to the complexity of a radio frequency link (or a device) of a test receiver, an application scene electromagnetic environment and other factors.
After the signal output by the signal source is processed by the filter, two paths or three paths are combined into one path of signal by the combiner and input into a radio frequency link (or device) of the receiver, the radio frequency link (or device) of the receiver is simultaneously output to the test board card and the frequency spectrograph, and the signal is output to the upper computer after being processed by the test board card. The single-channel signal source is input into the receiver radio frequency link, and the relation between the input power and the output power of different frequency points can be obtained, so that the receiver radio frequency link parameters such as the actual measurement link gain of different frequency points in the actual measurement can be obtained.
The chart data of the dual-frequency test subsystem is given in f1,f2The straight line representation in the rectangular coordinate system with coordinate axes has the following forms for different types of receivers:

Wi(f1,f2|Uti)＝sgn{H(f1,f2)-Uti}
In the formula: u shapetiI is 1,2,3 …, which is a specified threshold value; sgn () is a sign function.
Different double-frequency images can be obtained according to different threshold values, and the method is a signal processing technology of the automatic double-frequency test.
As shown in fig. 2, in the test subsystem, one signal source (rf signal) or two signal sources (rf signal and interference signal) can be selected.
When one signal source (radio frequency signal) is selected to be input, the correlation performance of a radio frequency link of a receiver in any frequency band can be tested under the condition of no interference signals. The input signal is output to the spectrometer and the test board card simultaneously after passing through the radio frequency link (device) of the receiver, the test board card processes the signal and outputs the processed signal to the upper computer, and the output power and conversion gain of the radio frequency link of the receiver are changed along with the power of the input signal when the interface of the upper computer displays the interference-free relation diagram, and the related parameters (1dB compression point, cut point value, noise coefficient and the like) of the radio frequency link of the receiver in the corresponding frequency band.
When two paths of signal sources (radio frequency signals and interference signals) are selected to be input, the correlation performance of a radio frequency link of a receiver in any frequency band can be tested under different interference signals. The radio frequency signal and the interference signal are input to a radio frequency link of the receiver through a combiner; the signals are simultaneously output to a frequency spectrograph and a test board card after passing through a radio frequency link (device) of a receiver; the output signal is connected with a frequency spectrograph and used for monitoring the signal change condition; and outputting the output power and conversion gain of the radio frequency link of the receiver along with the change of the input signal power, the output signal power and conversion gain along with the change of the interference power, the signal output and interference output along with the change of the interference power, and related parameters (1dB compression point, cut-off value, noise coefficient and the like) of the radio frequency link of the receiver in a corresponding frequency band to an upper computer through displaying on an interface of the upper computer.
As shown in fig. 3, two same-amplitude different-frequency signal sources in the multi-branch automatic fitting test subsystem are the same as those in the previous schemes, and are sequentially subjected to filtering processing by a filter, and are input to the input end of a receiver by a combiner (the influence of the combiner on the nonlinear effect of a two-tone signal is not considered), the signal is processed by the receiver, and then an intermediate frequency signal is output to two branches by a power divider, one branch is processed by a measuring instrument, and then a current receiver nonlinear coefficient is output, the other branch is processed by a time delayer, and a current receiver nonlinear coefficient (multi-branch and different-delay processing can be performed) is output, then the two branches are subjected to joint decision, so that performance parameter data of the same signal processed by the receiver under the same condition is ensured, the nonlinear coefficient of the receiver for a period of time is output by joint decision fitting (the longer the storage time is, the data volume is larger, the more accurate the nonlinear coefficient is)
Because the test environments at each time point may have differences, for example, environmental factors, external interference sources, etc. may cause measurement errors of the same signal, it is difficult to ensure that the non-linear characteristics of the receiver are completely measured in the same test environment. Therefore, the nonlinear characteristic of the receiver is completely measured under the same test environment by adopting the multi-branch automatic fitting test subsystem under the condition of delaying N times as much as possible.
As shown in fig. 4, two (three) signal sources with the same amplitude and different frequencies output are filtered by a band-pass filter, harmonics and clutter are removed as much as possible, two signals are input to the input end of a receiver through a combiner (the nonlinear effect influence of the combiner on a two-tone signal is not considered), the signals are processed by the receiver and then output to a frequency spectrograph and a measuring instrument simultaneously, the signals are mutually modulated while the receiver processes the signals to form intermodulation signals, and a radio frequency link of the receiver has broadband performance, can receive various signals in a frequency band and is a main component for generating intermodulation, so that the frequency spectrograph is used for directly utilizing intermediate frequency to perform intermodulation signal testing during analysis, and various combined frequency components can be measured. Meanwhile, the measuring instrument also receives the same intermediate frequency signal, the test function is expanded, two paths of output signals of the test system are tested, one path of signal enables the measuring instrument to display the model type of the current receiver in real time while displaying the intensity of the intermodulation signal, and the current model coefficient is calculated according to the model type; and the other path outputs short-time data, stores the data, performs fitting analysis on the stored data and the data stored in a previous period of time according to the model type, performs data fitting by using a machine learning related algorithm in the part, and outputs a nonlinear coefficient of the receiver in a period of time after the fitting analysis (the longer the storage time is, the larger the data amount is, the more accurate the nonlinear coefficient is).
The nonlinear effect testing subsystem based on machine learning displays on the upper computer: the receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effect model type after data fitting, the current model coefficient, and the receiver radio frequency link nonlinear effect model type and model coefficient.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
