Background
With the development of technologies such as cloud computing and big data, the demand of digital wireless communication for transmitting data volume increases exponentially, and how to increase the use bandwidth and improve the frequency band utilization rate becomes more important. In the high-speed wireless communication nowadays, millimeter waves provide a necessary condition for high-speed transmission due to the large bandwidth. Large bandwidth signals may reach 10GHz or even several 10GHz, which makes the transmitting device require a rather high sampling rate, but sampling devices that can reach this order are difficult to obtain.
On the other hand, due to non-ideality of an actual wireless transmission channel, frequency selective fading causes inter-symbol interference (ISI), resulting in unpredictable errors at a receiving end and degradation of system performance. In order to reduce such signal interference, equalization techniques are usually used at the receiving end to compensate and modify the received signal to restore the original signal. In order to avoid aliasing of spectral components, a conventional Fractionally Spaced Equalizer (FSE) requires that the sampling rate of a signal must exceed the symbol rate, which puts high demands on analog-to-digital conversion devices at a receiving end, and such high-performance devices are often expensive and scarce. While higher sampling rates also lead to increased complexity in digital signal processing and computation.
The multi-pulse forming technology can improve the utilization rate of frequency bands at a transmitting end and reduce the requirements of a digital-to-analog conversion device, so that the device bottleneck problem of large-bandwidth signal pulse forming in high-speed wireless transmission in practical application is solved. Meanwhile, a new receiving end equalization method is required to be sought, a low sampling rate analog-to-digital conversion device can be used for replacing a high sampling rate device, the digital signal processing and calculating complexity of the receiving end is reduced, and the bottleneck problem of a sampling device is solved.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a technical solution to solve the technical problems of the prior art.
