To avoid the need for clock synchronization, some millimeter wave transceivers employ OOK modulation and demodulation schemes to achieve incoherent communication. The scheme also avoids the difficult problems of local oscillation generation and distribution, and reduces the area, complexity and power consumption of the transceiver. However, OOK transceivers suffer from several drawbacks: 1) The millimeter wave OOK demodulator has lower gain, and to improve the sensitivity of the receiver, a low noise amplifier with larger power consumption is often needed to be added in the front stage; 2) The transmitter has a larger peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which reduces the energy efficiency ratio of the transmitter; 3) The very low spectral efficiency makes it necessary to achieve the same communication rate with a larger bandwidth, and the design of a wideband baseband amplifier is very difficult not only at radio frequency; 4) To meet the high-speed communication requirements, OOK transceivers require high sample rate, high power consumption digital-to-analog/analog converters. These reasons have led to OOK modem schemes currently aimed primarily at wired or short-range wireless communication on-chip or between chips.
The super-regenerative receiver receives attention from people because of the fact that the super-regenerative receiver can realize larger gain with low power consumption, and the prior art scheme also shows the capability of the super-regenerative receiver for realizing 16QAM even 64QAM demodulation and high-speed communication, and can realize low power consumption and high sensitivity. The defects of the existing super-regenerative receiver are mainly caused by the following two points: 1) The coherent demodulation super regenerative receiver requires an additional quench signal to control, which needs to be clock synchronized with the baud rate of the radio frequency input signal and have a certain relative phase, which complicates the overall clocking scheme of the system; 2) The super-regenerative amplifier also shows periodic oscillation and zero setting due to the working characteristics of periodic oscillation starting and extinguishing, and similar to a zero setting code, in a high-speed communication system, the ADC brings difficulty to ADC sampling, the ADC needs to sample signals at a position with larger oscillation amplitude of the intermediate frequency signal, and accurate clock generation has difficulty.
The frequency sources of the communication system and their distribution system have been mentioned above and are described in more detail here: the existing microwave and millimeter wave communication system mostly adopts a phase-locked loop as a frequency source, which consumes a larger area and power consumption, the phase noise of the millimeter wave phase-locked loop is also unsatisfactory, in addition, the reference clock of the phase-locked loop is often generated by a crystal oscillator, which consumes at least tens of milliwatts of power consumption, and is difficult to integrate, thus the phase-locked loop is one of the most expensive and large-size off-chip elements of a transceiver. Some researchers have proposed receivers using crystal-less oscillators, mainly of the following two types: 1) The crystal oscillator is replaced by an integratable oscillator such as an LC or relaxation oscillator, the main drawbacks of these schemes are that they still have a large power consumption and PVT is too sensitive; 2) The carrier recovery technology is adopted, so that a transceiver does not need a crystal oscillator, a carrier recovery loop is often adopted to replace a phase-locked loop, and it is noted that, due to the frequency deviation of different crystal oscillators, in a frequency synthesis scheme adopting the crystal oscillator and the phase-locked loop, the digital baseband needs to compensate the frequency deviation of the crystal oscillator. The carrier recovery technique avoids many of the problems of crystal oscillators, which do not require complex local oscillator distribution networks, but the prior art still suffers from these problems: 1) The locking time is too long, so that the interference is easy to receive; 2) The locking range is smaller; 3) With comparable complexity and power consumption as PLLs.
The self-homodyne detection is a signal receiving technology in the field of coherent optical communication, has the characteristic of eliminating phase noise, and even if a received signal comes from a free-running oscillator, the error rate of a receiver is not obviously deteriorated. The self homodyne receiver is ideally well suited for designing a communication system without a crystal oscillator or a reference clock because of no need of demodulating a local oscillator signal, however, two key problems exist that make it difficult to apply the self homodyne receiver in a microwave/millimeter wave communication system: 1) The 1-symbol delay line required for self-homodyne reception is difficult to integrate, even if the 1-symbol delay line is integrated on a chip by adopting an advanced process, the huge area and loss are not acceptable, and the next symbol period is different at different symbol rates, so that the 1-symbol delay line is difficult to realize by adopting an off-chip element; 2) The self-homodyne mixing is characterized by square law mixing, and is difficult to apply to a modulation scene of simultaneous amplitude modulation and phase modulation.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide an integrable millimeter wave self-homodyne receiver scheme, a clock recovery method and a circuit thereof to realize self-synchronous self-homodyne demodulation, and based on the above methods and circuits, the present invention further provides a self-synchronous receiver scheme that does not need an intrinsic input or a phase-locked loop to perform clock synchronization.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: a long delay and phase shift circuit (SRDPS) implemented by a Super Regenerative Amplifier (SRA), a baud rate locked loop (BLL), a sample-and-hold amplifier with self-aligned sample positions, and a self-homodyne receiver employing these methods or circuits.
(1) The embodiment of the invention provides a method for realizing long delay and phase shift by a super regenerative amplifier and a circuit thereof
As shown in fig. 1, the two or more stages of super regenerative amplifiers generate a large delay, and the phase shift is realized by tuning the pre-stage super regenerative amplifier, and the delay and phase shift principle is as shown in fig. 2: the output of the SRA1 is delayed compared with the input RFin, the output of the SRA2 is delayed compared with the output of the SRA1, and the RFout is the sum of the delays of the two stages of super-regenerative amplifiers compared with the RFin; SRA1 tuning control voltage V PHS When high, the oscillation frequency is high, the sensitivity function of the super regenerative amplifier determines that the SRA2 output RFout has the characteristics of sampling amplification, and therefore, the SRA2 output RFout is at V PHS Advance at high, otherwise RFout is at V PHS Low time hysteresis. The method utilizes the super regenerative amplifier working in the saturated state to realize amplification and delay, thereby solving the problem of mixing the delay line and the square law. Phase adjustment is realized by adjusting the oscillation frequency of a pre-stage super-regenerative amplifier in a delay circuit, so that the complexity of the system is reduced and the PVT robustness of the system is improvedStick property. Different from the prior art, the scheme adopts two or more than two stages of super regenerative amplifiers to realize larger phase shift; the scheme realizes continuous phase adjustment by tuning the pre-stage super regenerative amplifier.
Based on fig. 1, a long delay and phase shift circuit implemented by a super regenerative amplifier employed in a self-synchronous receiver is shown in fig. 3, which is composed of a Tunable Super Regenerative Amplifier (TSRA), a driving amplifier, a polyphase filter (PPF), and a Quadrature Super Regenerative Amplifier (QSRA). This architecture is an example of the method shown in fig. 1, which uses QSRA to generate quadrature output signals, and to drive the QSRA, a drive amplifier and a polyphase filter are added between QSRA and TSRA, wherein the polyphase filter can be used to generate quadrature signals to inject into the QSRA. The multiphase filter can be replaced by other types of quadrature signal generating circuits such as a quadrature coupler, or the number of stages of a super regenerative amplifier is increased, or a driving amplifier is added or removed, or the quadrature coupler is adopted to output quadrature signals to replace QSRA (quad small form factor) circuits and other circuits for performing long delay and phase shift based on the schematic diagram shown in the figure 1, and the long delay and phase shift method realized by the super regenerative amplifier shown in the figures 1 and 2 provided by the invention is still adopted.
(2) The embodiment of the invention provides a method for recovering a clock from a radio frequency signal and a circuit thereof
As shown in fig. 4, the radio frequency signal recovery clock circuit employed in the self-synchronizing receiver is composed of a super regenerative amplifier (SRA 1), a mixer, a comparator, a low pass filter, a voltage controlled oscillator, and a quench signal shaping circuit. The working principle is as shown in figure 5: the radio frequency signal is mixed with the radio frequency signal amplified by the SRA sampling through the mixer, the SRA sampling is amplified to bring a certain delay, the mixed output consists of the self-mixing quantity of the previous code element and the mixing quantity of the front code element and the rear code element, the DC component of the mixing quantity of the front code element and the rear code element is 0 for most digital modulation schemes, and the self-mixing quantity of one code element is reduced along with the backward movement of the sampling position. The above principle can be derived from the following formulas (14) to (17).
The SRA sampling position is determined by the quenching signal, the output of the mixer is filtered by a low-pass filter, and then is compared and amplified by a subtracter (active balun) for controlling a voltage-controlled oscillator for generating the quenching signal, wherein the voltage-controlled oscillator can adopt an LC oscillator, a ring oscillator and the like. The principle of loop completion locking is: when the VCO output signal is lagged, the SRA output delay is increased, the DC component of the mixer output is reduced, the VCO oscillation frequency is controlled to be increased, and the VCO output signal is lagged to be reduced.
It should be noted that various other modifications of the circuit shown in fig. 4 according to the method and the concept of the present invention should be made within the scope of the claims, for example: the comparator may be implemented by various types of circuits (analog or digital) with subtraction function or by just an inverter, the pulse shaping circuit may be implemented by various simple (inverter) or complex signal shaping and generating circuits, or directly with the unshaped signal as clock output.
(3) The embodiment of the invention provides an intermediate frequency signal sampling amplifying circuit which is used for solving the problem that the intermediate frequency signal in a super-regenerative receiver also shows periodic swing and zero return to bring difficulty to ADC sampling
As shown in fig. 6, the sampling amplification circuit is composed of a self-aligned sampling clock generation circuit and a sampling hold amplifier. The input of the self-aligned sampling clock generation circuit comes from the output of the baud clock locking loop, the sampling clock signal with a certain pulse width and the same period as the baud rate clock is generated through two paths of different delays, and the sampling at the intermediate frequency peak value can be realized through reasonable circuit design without an additional calibration circuit. The direct generation of the sample-and-hold circuit clock based on synchronizing with the quench signal is critical to achieving self-aligned sampling. The sampling and holding amplifier consists of a driving amplifier, a sampling switch and an output driving amplifier, and has the functions of sampling and amplifying the output signal of the mixer and converting the output signal into single-ended signal output. The circuit solves the problems that intermediate frequency signals of the super-regenerative receiver also show periodic swing and return to zero, and has great advantages in the aspects of system complexity, power consumption and the like compared with a scheme of oversampling by using a high sampling rate ADC.
Based on the foregoing method and circuit, the present invention provides a self-homodyne receiver, as shown in fig. 7, which is composed of a variable gain amplifier (VGLNA), a baud rate locked loop, a super-regenerative delay and phase shift circuit, a mixer, a sampling clock generation circuit, and a sample-hold amplifier. The structure is a quadrature demodulation self-homodyne (VGLNA) receiver, when the receiver works, radio frequency signals are amplified by the VGLNA, and the stable VGLNA output power can be maintained under different input powers by adjusting the gain of the VGLNA, so that the normal operation of the receiver is ensured. The VGLNA output signal is amplified by SRA sampling, and the BLL recovers the Bode clock and generates a quench signal of SRA, TSRA, QSRA, by adjusting the BLL reference voltage, the relative positions of the quench signal and the sampling clock and the input RF signal symbols can be shifted. The SRA output signal is input to the SRDPS, the output signal of the SRDPS is delayed by one symbol time relative to the input signal by adjusting the phase modulation control voltage V in the SRDPS PHS The adjustment of the relative phase of the post-delay signal and the pre-delay signal can be achieved. The SRA output signals are mixed with IQ two paths of output signals of the SRDPS respectively, intermediate frequency output of the IQ two paths of mixers is sampled, held and amplified by a sampling amplifying circuit, and an input clock of the sampling, holding and amplifying circuit is also generated by BLL.
The above self-homodyne receiver adopts a new receiver architecture, which combines a super regenerative receiver with the self-homodyne receiver, and has the following main differences from the prior art: the structure is characterized in that a super regenerative amplifier generates delay to carry out delay self-homodyne; the self-homodyne reception of the structure is orthogonal; the structure performs clock recovery at the radio frequency. Variations of the self-homodyne receiver described above may be generated based on this technique, such as generating a quadrature signal from the SRA output, and then delaying the self-homodyne signal with the in-phase delayed one symbol signal.

From the above, it can be seen that the present invention applies VGLNA to a self homodyne receiver. Specifically, when the input power is low, the VGLNA gain is increased, and when the input power is high, the VGLNA gain is decreased, so that the VGLNA output power can be maintained at a stable power (average power is stable rather than real-time power being constant). The stable power output ensures normal operation of the BLL and SRDPS. In addition, VGLNA can improve isolation and prevent SRA from leaking to the radio frequency input end.
The above-mentioned receiver is a quadrature delay self-homodyne receiver structure, which implements one symbol delay by using the SRDPS proposed by the present invention, and performs self-homodyne mixing, and the following simplified theoretical analysis is given:
the radio frequency input signal is an amplitude-modulated phase-modulated signal with a carrier frequency omega RF The symbol period is T symbol Amplitude information thereof:
its phase information:
the radio frequency signal may be expressed in the form of:
the signals amplified by VGLNA and SRA are:
wherein G is LNA For VGLNA gain, G SRA1 For SRA gain, ω SRA1 For SRA free oscillation frequency, ENV SRA1 (t) is a normalized envelope function of the SRA, which in a typical application should be small enough not to produce smearing at the next super-regenerative sampling amplification.
The free oscillation frequency of the SRA corresponds to the carrier frequency of the radio frequency signal:
ω SRA1 =ω RF (5)
the output signal of the TSRA is:
wherein τSRA1 is the delay of TSRA sampling time compared with SRA, ωSRA2 is TSRA free oscillation frequency, ENV SRA2 (t) is a normalized envelope function of TSRA. It should be noted that the TSRA may operate in a mode that is close to saturation, with a gain that is equal to Ak]And (5) correlation.
The outputs of the I path and the Q path of QSRA are respectively:
wherein τSRA2 is delay of QSRA sampling time compared with TSRA, ωSRA3 is free oscillation frequency of TSRA, and ENV SRA3 (t) is a normalized envelope function of QSRA.
The free oscillation frequency of the QSRA is consistent with the carrier frequency of the radio frequency signal:
ω SRA3 =ω RF (9)
the condition given by the following equation can be satisfied by tuning the oscillation frequency of the TSRA:
ω RF τ SRA1SRA2 τ SRA2 =ω RF T symbol (10)
the above equation also illustrates the principle of SRDPS generation delay and phase adjustment.
The TSRA oscillation frequency is still close to the carrier frequency:
ω SRA2 ≈ω RF (11)
the I-way intermediate frequency output is obtained by mixing the SRA output signal with the I-way QSRA output signal, and attention should be paid to the saturation of the QSRA output:
a similar Q-way intermediate frequency output is obtained by mixing the SRA output signal with the Q-way output signal of QSRA:
the present invention proposes a baud rate locked loop (BLL), the principles and technical solutions of which have been described in the foregoing, and some circuit implementations and theoretical analyses are supplemented here to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention by the skilled person:
the radio frequency signal is given by equation 3, VGLNA output is:
the BLL proposed by the present invention detects whether the quench signal is leading or lagging by mixing the VGLNA output with the SRO output:
assume that the quench signal produces a bias delta:
the VGLNA output and SRO output mixed output is:
the mixer output is low pass filtered and then output is:
the above-mentioned method assumesThis condition is satisfied in conventional modulation methods such as QPSK, QAM, 8PSK, etc. Within the scope of observation, S LP (delta) is a monotonic function with respect to delta. Assume that the control voltage when the VCO is synchronized with the baud clock is V 0 When δ=0, the subtractor outputs V REF -S LP (0)=V 0 BLL is operated in a locked state; delta>At 0, the VCO phase advances, and the subtractor output is V REF -S LP (δ)<V 0 The VCO oscillation frequency decreases until phase lock; delta<0, the VCO phase lags, at which time the subtractor output is V REF -S LP (δ)>V 0 The VCO oscillation frequency increases until phase lock.
Fig. 8, 9, and 10 are simulation verification results of several key of the self-homodyne receiver: fig. 8 shows the VCO control voltage (up) and VCO output waveform (down) waveforms in the BLL after power-up, and it can be seen that the VCO needs about 20nS for oscillation start, the BLL tracking time is about 40nS, and the BLL can be locked after power-up for 60 nS. Fig. 9 is a waveform eye diagram of Q-path intermediate frequency output under QPSK modulation.
Fig. 10 shows (1) VGLNA output, (2) SRA quench signal, (3) SRA output, (4) TSRA quench signal, (5) TSRA output, (6) QSRA quench signal, (7) QSRA output, (8) Q mixer output, (9) sample clock, and (10) Q intermediate frequency output during receiver operation.
