(I + jQ) represents a center frequency f after spectral shaping 0 Baseband signal, =0Hz>0 represents the final frequency point position of the frequency shift after the up-conversion, and the frequency spectrum shifting operation is essentially complex multiplication operation as seen by a formula.
Specifically, order

Wherein M is an integer and f "is limited to the range

1032. And performing multi-phase interpolation filtering on the signal to be processed after the first-stage up-conversion is completed so as to change the initial sampling frequency into an intermediate sampling frequency.
The signal output by the first-stage up-conversion module needs to be up-sampled again to increase the sampling rate, and the sampling rate is increased to the value obtained by N-phase interpolation filtering
Figure BDA0003285668070000056
The device is
Figure BDA0003285668070000057
I.e. the intermediate sampling frequency. Polyphase interpolation filtering is still interpolation filtering in nature.
In one embodiment, a general FIR interpolation filter can be used, and polyphase is a representation of its implementation, and an 8-step FIR filter is taken for better illustration of its principle. Filter coefficient is set to [ c ] 0 ,c 1 ,c 2 ,c 3 ,c 4 ,c 5 ,c 6 ,c 7 ]The filtering operation is essentially a convolution operation, i.e.:
Figure BDA0003285668070000058
specifically, if the filtering is the N-phase interpolation filtering, the sampling frequency is obtained through N parallel sub-filtering operations after the N-phase interpolation.
Referring to fig. 4, the principle of polyphase interpolation filtering is shown.
In one embodiment, let N =4, i.e. the input sequence x is interpolated by a factor of 4, assuming the original input sequence is [ x ] 0 ,x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ,……]The input sequence after 4 times zero value interpolation is [0, x ] 0 ,0,0,0,x 1 ,0,0,0,x 2 ,0,0,0,x 3 ,……]Then, there is an output filtering sequence that can be expressed as:
y 0 =c 0 *0+c 1 *0+c 2 *0+c 3 *x 0 ++c 4 *0+c 5 *0+c 6 *0+c 7 *x 1
=c 3 *x 0 +c 7 *x 1
y 1 =c 0 *0+c 1 *0+c 2 *x 0 +c 3 *0++c 4 *0+c 5 *0+c 6 *x 1 +c 7 *0
=c 2 *x 0 +c 3 *x 1
y 2 =c 0 *0+c 1 *x 0 +c 2 *0+c 3 *0++c 4 *0+c 5 *x 1 +c 6 *0+c 7 *0
=c 1 *x 0 +c 5 *x 1
y 3 =c 0 *x 0 +c 1 *0+c 2 *0+c 3 *0++c 4 *x 1 +c 5 *0+c 6 *0+c 7 *0
=c 0 *x 0 +c 4 *x 1
it can be seen that the output filter sequence subjected to zero-valued interpolation can be divided into 4 subsequences with different coefficient operations, and the filter coefficient of each subsequence is a part of the original filter coefficient extracted at intervals of N, that is, a sub-filtering operation. The whole filter can work at a sampling rate which is 4 times of the working clock frequency through 4 parallel sub-filtering operations.
Of course, the above is only one embodiment, and the specific type, term number and interpolation filtering mode of the polyphase interpolation filter can be set according to actual requirements.
1033. And moving the central frequency point of the signal to be processed to the intermediate signal frequency f' through the second-stage up-conversion based on the intermediate sampling frequency.
After N-phase interpolation filtering, the signal sampling rate is
Figure BDA0003285668070000061
At this sampling rate, a second stage of up-conversion is performed to shift the frequency from f "to f', which is the intermediate signal frequency. The step frequency of the second stage frequency shift is
Figure BDA0003285668070000062
The frequency of the stepping is large, so that the stepping frequency shift can be called as stepping frequency shift. In this step the sampling rate is
Figure BDA0003285668070000063
The ratio of the sampling rate to the stepping frequency is R =2 × N, if N =2, R =4, the sine and cosine angle value of the up-conversion complex multiplication is exactly four phase points (0 °,90 °,180 °,270 °) in a unit circle, and the frequency shifting operation does not need a multiplier and only needs I and Q replacement. The complex multiplication taking four phase points in the unit circle is sequentially:
Figure BDA0003285668070000064
Figure BDA0003285668070000065
Figure BDA0003285668070000066
Figure BDA0003285668070000067
if N =4 then R =8, taking 8 phase points (0 °,45 °,90 °,135 °,180 °,225 °,270 °,315 °) within the unit circle, the frequency shifting operation requires only a real multiplication operation and no complex multiplication operation. The complex multiplication taking eight phase points in the unit circle is sequentially:
Figure BDA0003285668070000068
Figure BDA0003285668070000071
Figure BDA0003285668070000072

Figure BDA0003285668070000076
Figure BDA0003285668070000077
therefore, when N =2 or N =4, the up-conversion complex multiplication operation can be simplified, the logic resource of the FPGA/ASIC chip can be saved, and the occupation of the system computing resource is effectively reduced.
104. And combining the multi-channel signals to be processed after the two-stage up-conversion is completed to obtain combined signals.
Referring to fig. 5, a diagram illustrates a multi-phase combining principle provided by an embodiment of the present application.
After the signals are subjected to the second-stage frequency spectrum moving operation, the multi-channel signals can be combined, and the multi-phase combiner adds the signals of the corresponding phases of the multiple channels to obtain the combined multi-phase signals.
Fig. 5 illustrates a structure of a 4-phase combining. As shown in fig. 5, in the up-conversion system with n channels, each channel has 4 phases, and the signals of the channels and the phases are summed to obtain a unique 4-phase signal to be processed.
105. Performing multi-phase interpolation filtering on the combined signal to change the intermediate sampling frequency to a target sampling frequency, wherein the target sampling frequency is the interface data sampling rate f of the digital-to-analog converter dac
The multi-channel signals after the multi-phase combination are combined into a multi-phase signal of a path combination, and the sampling rate is
Figure BDA0003285668070000078
The frequency spectrum range of the combined signal is [ f ] with 0Hz as the center min -f mid ,f max -f mid ]In place, the sampling rate can still be raised to f using a 2-fold interpolation filter by low-pass filtering dac . With the increase of the sampling rate of the output signal, the multiphase structure of the second-stage multiphase interpolation filtering is 2 × n phases.
106. And shifting the central frequency point of the signal to be processed to the target signal frequency through the third-level up-conversion based on the target sampling frequency to obtain the target signal.
At a sampling rate of f dac Then, carrying out third-stage up-conversion operation, uniformly carrying out overall frequency shift operation on the combined signals, and fixedly moving the combined signals upwards mid And finally, the center frequency point of the corresponding channel is moved to f, namely the position of the target frequency point, through the third frequency moving operation.
107. And outputting the target signal through a digital-to-analog converter.
In one embodiment, outputting the target signal through a digital-to-analog converter comprises: and converting the multiphase parallel data into single-phase serial data through a high-speed parallel-serial conversion interface and sending the single-phase serial data to a radio frequency digital-to-analog converter.
Through the conversion, multiphase parallel data can be converted into single-phase serial data, so that multichannel multiphase data can be converted into signals which can be converted and transmitted through a video digital-to-analog converter again, the complexity of an up-conversion algorithm is reduced, and the occupation of resources is reduced.
In combination with the above steps 101-107, in the specific case, f dac =2304MHz,f min =0MHz,f max If =1000MHz, then there aref mid =500MHz, and satisfies f dac >2*f max . Working master clock with N =4 modules

Is provided with three channels with frequency points of f in sequence 1 =100MHz,f 2 =400MHz,f 3 =700MHz。
Carrying out first-step decomposition on three frequency points:
f′ 1 =f 1 -f mid =-400(MHz)
f′ 2 =f 2 -f mid =-100(MHz)
f′ 3 =f 3 -f mid =200(MHz)
and then carrying out second-step decomposition:

Figure BDA0003285668070000084
Figure BDA0003285668070000085
the Farrow resampling filter up-samples the signal sampling rate to 288MHz, then carries on the first up-conversion, the frequency conversion position of three channels is f ″ 1 =32(MHz),f″ 2 =44(MHz),f″ 3 =56(MHz)。
The first stage polyphase interpolation filters up-samples the signal sample rate to
Figure BDA0003285668070000086
That is, the first-stage polyphase interpolation filtering adopts N =4, and the second-stage polyphase up-conversion is carried out to eight phase points in a unit circleComplex multiplication with increasing phase M per sample 1 =-3,M 2 =-1,M 3 =1。
Through the second-stage multiphase up-conversion, the frequency point positions of the three channels are moved to f' 1 =-400MHz,f′ 2 =-100MHz,f′ 3 =200MHz. The frequency spectrum positions of the three channels are not overlapped after being combined, and are all within the range of [ -500MHz,500MHz]In range, so as to design the pass band f of the second stage polyphase interpolation filter pass =500MHz, stop band
Figure BDA0003285668070000087
Figure BDA0003285668070000088
Sampling rate of f s =f dac =2304MHz. The number of parallel phases is 2 × n =8, i.e. an eight-phase structure.
The third-level up-conversion shifts the integral frequency spectrum of the signal after being combined and subjected to interpolation filtering upwards mid =500MHz, three channel frequency point positions after frequency shift are set as f 1 =-400MHz+500MHz=100MHz,f 2 =-100MHz+500MHz=400MHz,f 3 And =200MHz +500MHz =700MHz, which is the same as the preset target frequency point.
The sampling rate of the signal subjected to third upper side frequency is 2304MHz, and is consistent with the data rate of the input interface of the radio frequency digital-to-analog conversion DAC, and the main clock of the internal processing module is 288MHz, so that the signal needs to be output through the 8-to-1 high-speed parallel-serial conversion module.
It should be understood that the above cases are only examples, and specific parameters need to be determined according to practical applications, which are not further limited in the present application.
From the above, the resampling filtering and the first-stage frequency shifting operation which use the most resources only need to work at the position with a single phase and a low sampling rate, the second-stage frequency shifting is simplified by adopting a proper N value, the third-stage frequency shifting only needs to process one path of data after combination, and the whole up-conversion algorithm and structure can be greatly optimized through the comprehensive operation of the third-stage frequency shifting, so that the purpose of reducing the resource usage amount is achieved.
Referring to fig. 6, the present application further provides a structure of a multi-channel baseband-to-radio frequency up-conversion system.
As shown in fig. 6, a multi-channel baseband-to-radio frequency up-conversion system includes a signal input module 1, a resampling filtering module 2, a first up-conversion module 3, a multi-phase combiner module 4, a multi-phase interpolation filtering module 5, a second up-conversion module 6, and an output module 7:
the signal input module 1 is used for parallel processing of signals to be processed by adopting multi-channel branches.
Wherein, the frequency range of all frequency points supported by the system is set as f min ,f max ]The intermediate frequency point is f mid The interface data sampling rate of the DAC is f dac Internal master module processing clock frequency of f clk
