Description

Self-defined frequency point high-speed broadband frequency hopping signal generator and signal generation method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of signal generators, in particular to a self-defined frequency point high-speed broadband frequency hopping signal generator and a signal generation method.
Background
Frequency Hopping (FH) technology, which switches communication carrier frequencies by Frequency Hopping sequences, has long been widely used in radar and satellite systems, radio Frequency (RF) communication systems, and emerging dynamic communication systems (i.e., 5G/6G). The frequency hopping system applying the frequency hopping technology has the advantages of reducing the interference between signals, external interference and the like, and remarkably improves the communication capacity of the emerging RF wireless system, so that the frequency hopping system becomes an important electronic communication system meeting the requirements of high RF frequency spectrum resources in business and national defense. In addition, the frequency hopping technology can quickly change the carrier frequency without changing the signal amplitude, so that the transmission information is difficult to intercept, and the safety of the wireless communication service is greatly improved. In addition, signal interference caused by multipath effects common in communication systems is also greatly reduced due to the rapid change in frequency carrier. Therefore, the frequency hopping system has been widely used in the fields of bluetooth, advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) communication satellites, and military strategic and tactical relay (MILSTAR) communication satellites.
In the related art, in a frequency hopping system, a portion for synthesizing a carrier signal required for the frequency hopping system is called a frequency hopping signal generator, and the frequency hopping signal generator can be divided into two main portions: a frequency source and a control module. Wherein the frequency source is used for synthesizing a carrier signal required by the frequency hopping system, and the carrier signal is a high-frequency signal with a frequency far higher than that of the information signal; the control module is used for realizing the control function of the frequency hopping signal generator, such as the functions of receiving an external control signal, controlling the frequency source to output a frequency signal and the like. In a frequency hopping system, the frequency source output frequency quality of a frequency hopping signal generator greatly affects the frequency hopping performance of the whole frequency hopping system. There are two main types of traditional frequency signal synthesizing methods in the electronics field: direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) and Phase Locked Loop (PLL), DDS has advantages of fast switching speed, high resolution, low noise, etc., but its output frequency range is limited by the sampling rate. PLL has advantages of wide output frequency range, low cost, low power consumption, etc., but its switching speed is slow and resolution is low. In addition, the control module of the frequency hopping signal generator also affects the function implementation, and the control core of the control module is generally a microprocessor or a microcontroller. The control core commonly used by the frequency hopping signal generator generally does not support the read-write function of the frequency hopping point table, and the frequency point frequency of the frequency hopping point table cannot be updated at any time to realize the self-defined frequency point function, so that the flexibility of generating frequency points is poor. The quality of the frequency hopping signal generator is generally measured by the frequency precision and the frequency spectrum purity of the frequency hopping signal generator, however, the DDS chip of the existing frequency hopping signal generator influences the quality of the frequency hopping signal due to the existence of the mirror frequency component, so that the stability of the frequency hopping system is poor.

Example 1
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a self-defined frequency point high-speed broadband frequency hopping signal generator is provided, which includes a control module, a frequency source module, a storage module and an anti-interference module, wherein a first end of the control module is connected with the frequency source module, a second end of the control module is connected with the storage module, an output end of the frequency source module is connected with an input end of the anti-interference module, and an output end of the anti-interference module is connected with an output end of the frequency hopping signal to output the frequency hopping signal.
The control module includes a processing unit and a programmable array unit, where a first input end of the processing unit is used to obtain information of a frequency hopping point table and parse the information of the frequency hopping point table into corresponding frequency control words, in this embodiment, the information of the frequency hopping point table is transmitted to the processing unit through a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) bus protocol, the UART bus protocol is a relatively simple serial communication protocol, and interfaces of the UART bus protocol are almost supported in all computers and embedded systems, so that a mode of writing the information of the frequency hopping point table into the frequency hopping signal generator can be very flexibly and preferably selected, the information of the frequency hopping point table is transmitted to the processing unit through an RS485 serial port protocol, and the information of the frequency hopping point table and the processing unit are transmitted in two directions, and the processing unit can read or write the information of the frequency hopping point table. RS485 is a differential signal communication standard, meaning that it uses two opposite electrical signal lines to transmit data, one of which is a forward signal and the other of which is a reverse signal, which helps to improve the anti-interference capability and transmission distance of the communication and helps to improve the anti-interference capability and usability of the frequency hopping signal generator. The second input end of the processing unit is connected with the storage module, and the output end of the processing unit is connected with the first input end of the programmable array unit so as to be used for acquiring the information of the frequency hopping point table. The second input end of the programmable array unit is used for inputting a frequency hopping control signal, the output end of the programmable array unit is connected with the frequency source module and used for receiving the frequency hopping control signal, selecting a corresponding frequency control word based on the frequency hopping control signal and outputting the selected frequency control word and the frequency source control signal to the frequency source module.
Specifically, the processing unit is an ARM processor, and the ARM processor is a 32-bit microprocessor architecture, has the characteristics of low power consumption and high performance, and can rapidly analyze and calculate the information of the frequency hopping point table. The programmable array unit is a field programmable gate array, and the field programmable gate array is a programmable logic device used for constructing a digital circuit system to operate, has strong parallel computing capability, has rich and flexible interfaces, can accept multiple paths of parallel control signals, and has a large number of frequency point control selections. In practical application, the processing unit receives the frequency hopping point table information, and performs data processing (reading or writing) on the frequency hopping point table information to process the frequency hopping point table information into a frequency hopping frequency control word table, and stores the frequency hopping frequency control word table into the storage module. And then, the processing unit reads the frequency hopping frequency control word table from the storage module, correspondingly generates a frequency hopping point table signal, outputs the frequency hopping frequency control word table signal to the programmable array unit, receives the frequency hopping control signal through the programmable array unit, and searches the frequency control word corresponding to the frequency hopping frequency control word table and outputs the frequency control word to the frequency source module after receiving the frequency hopping control signal and the frequency hopping point table signal. It should be noted that the information of the frequency hopping point table includes a plurality of frequency points, and the frequency control word corresponding to the frequency point in the frequency hopping frequency control word table is selected by the programmable array unit. In addition, based on the logic circuit flexibly generated by the programmable array unit, the frequency point number of the frequency hopping signal generator can be greatly enlarged in the field of the interface number, for example, when 32 frequency points are needed, the programmable array unit generates a data selector circuit with 32 selected 1, when 256 frequency points are needed, the programmable array unit generates a 256 selected 1 circuit, the programmable array unit can also be compatible with an encryption control mode, and the decryption calculation circuit generated by the programmable array unit can be quickly converted into an internal control signal on a hardware level.
Further, the frequency source module includes a phase-locked loop unit and a frequency synthesis unit, where a first input end of the phase-locked loop unit is used for accessing a reference clock signal and making the phase-locked loop unit generate an internal reference clock, and the internal reference clock is a high-frequency reference clock. The second input end of the phase-locked loop unit is connected with the output end of the programmable array unit so as to receive the frequency source control signal output by the programmable array unit. The output end of the phase-locked loop unit is connected with the first input end of the frequency synthesis unit, so that the internal reference clock generated by the phase-locked loop unit is used as the system clock of the frequency synthesis unit, and the programmable array unit can quickly control the phase-locked loop unit to generate the internal reference clock to the frequency synthesis unit, thereby accelerating the frequency hopping switching speed of the phase-locked loop unit. The second input end of the frequency synthesis unit is connected with the output end of the programmable array unit so as to receive the frequency source control signal and the frequency control word output by the programmable array unit. The third input end of the frequency synthesis unit is used for accessing the trigger signal, and the output end of the frequency synthesis unit is connected with the input end of the anti-interference module so as to output the frequency signal. The trigger signal is directly connected with the frequency synthesis unit, so that the time consumed in the frequency switching process can be reduced, and the frequency hopping frequency switching speed can be improved. The output end of the anti-interference module is used for being connected with the frequency hopping signal output end so as to process the frequency signal output by the frequency synthesis unit and output the frequency hopping signal. It should be noted that, the frequency precision of the frequency hopping signal generator generally depends on the frequency resolution of the frequency synthesis unit, when the system clock frequency of the frequency synthesis unit is low and the number of bits of the frequency control word is small, the frequency resolution of the frequency synthesis unit is low, in this embodiment, the frequency synthesis unit has the characteristic of high performance, the frequency control word transmitted by the programmable array unit to the frequency synthesis unit is up to 32 bits, the corresponding frequency precision is 190pHz, the frequency precision of the frequency hopping signal generator is improved compared with the existing generator, and the internal reference clock is a high-frequency reference clock, so that the quality of the output frequency hopping signal is improved. Since the frequency accuracy is as high as 190pHz in this embodiment, a large bandwidth frequency hopping signal from 10MHz-1GHz can be generated, so the number of frequency hopping points available in the frequency domain is also very large. As shown in fig. 2 to fig. 4, the phase-locked loop unit and the frequency synthesis unit cooperate to output the frequency source as the frequency hopping signal generator, and the processing unit and the programmable array unit are used for fusing and controlling the control module as the frequency hopping signal generator, so as to construct the self-defined frequency point frequency hopping signal generator with the frequency hopping bandwidth as high as 1GHz, the single frequency hopping as low as a few microseconds, the frequency hopping triggering time as low as tens of nanoseconds, and 256 frequency points can be modified under the operation condition.
Specifically, the phase-locked loop unit comprises a phase-detecting frequency discriminator, a low-pass filter, a voltage-controlled oscillator and a feedback loop, wherein the phase-detecting frequency discriminator is connected with the low-pass filter, the low-pass filter is connected with the voltage-controlled oscillator, and the voltage-controlled oscillator is connected with the feedback loop. In actual operation, the phase discriminator detects the phase difference between the frequency source control signal and the feedback signal, converts the phase difference into a voltage signal, and sends the converted voltage signal to the low-pass filter, and the high-frequency component output by the phase discriminator is filtered by the low-pass filter to obtain a smooth error signal, wherein the error signal represents the phase difference between the frequency source control signal and the feedback signal.
The error signal output by the low pass filter is fed into the voltage controlled oscillator. The frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator is adjusted according to the input voltage signal. When the error signal is large, the frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator is adjusted in a direction to reduce the error. The output signal of the voltage controlled oscillator is fed into a feedback loop, which is compared with the frequency source control signal to generate a phase difference. The phase difference is detected by a phase detector and converted into a voltage signal, which is then fed into a low-pass filter. If the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator is different from the frequency of the frequency source control signal, the feedback loop drives the voltage-controlled oscillator to adjust in a direction of reducing the difference, and finally the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator is the same as the frequency of the frequency source control signal, so that phase locking is realized. In summary, a negative feedback system is formed inside the pll unit: when there is a difference in the phase of the frequency source control signal and the feedback signal, the system will attempt to adjust the frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator to reduce this difference until the phases are identical. When the phases of the input signal and the feedback signal are consistent, the negative feedback system reaches a stable state, and the output signal of the voltage-controlled oscillator is the internal reference clock generated by the phase-locked loop unit.
Specifically, the frequency synthesis unit comprises a register, a phase accumulator, a waveform data table ROM and a D/A converter, wherein the register is connected with the phase accumulator, the phase accumulator is connected with the waveform data table ROM, and the waveform data table ROM is connected with the D/A converter. In practical applications, the pll unit inputs the internal reference clock to the frequency synthesis unit, and the frequency synthesis unit uses the internal reference clock as the system clock. Meanwhile, the frequency control word selected by the programmable array unit is input into a register, accumulated by a phase accumulator under a system clock, finally, table lookup is performed under a waveform data table ROM according to the accumulated result, the table lookup result is input into a high-speed D/A converter, and finally, a frequency signal is output.
Further, the memory module comprises a memory, which is connected to the second input of the processing unit. In this embodiment, the memory is an EEPROM, the EEPROM is an erasable programmable read-only memory, and bidirectional transmission is provided between the EEPROM and the processing unit, i.e. the processing unit can store the data point table information in the EEPROM or the processing unit can read the data point table information from the EEPROM. EEPROM is a non-volatile memory that is used to retain data after a power failure. The EEPROM allows multiple programming and erasing operations, has relatively high reading speed, can rapidly extract the needed information of the frequency hopping point table, and is beneficial to improving the frequency hopping speed. After the data point table information is acquired, the data point table information is processed by the processing unit, and the data point table information is stored in the memory according to a certain format. After the frequency hopping point table information in the memory is read, the frequency control word corresponding to the frequency point in the frequency hopping point table information is calculated, the frequency hopping frequency control word table is generated according to a preset rule, and then the frequency hopping frequency control word table is stored in the memory according to a preset format so as to store the frequency control word.
Further, the anti-interference module comprises a filter unit, the input end of the filter unit is connected with the output end of the frequency synthesis unit, and the output end of the filter unit is used for being connected with the frequency hopping signal output end. The filter unit comprises a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter, the low-pass filter and the high-pass filter are connected in series, the cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter is 10MHz, and the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter is 1.4GHz. After the frequency synthesis unit outputs the frequency signal, the high-frequency mirror image component and the low-frequency noise signal can be filtered through the low-pass filter and the high-pass filter, and then the frequency hopping signal is output, and the frequency hopping signal output at the moment has good frequency spectrum purity.
Example two
As shown in fig. 1, the custom frequency point high-speed broadband frequency hopping signal generator in this embodiment is different from that in the first embodiment in that: the user-defined frequency point high-speed broadband frequency hopping signal generator in the embodiment further comprises a frequency hopping point table reader-writer and an IO reader-writer, wherein the input end of the frequency hopping point table reader-writer is used for inputting frequency hopping point table information, the output end of the frequency hopping point table reader-writer is connected with the first input end of the processing unit, and the frequency hopping point table reader-writer reads or modifies the frequency hopping point table information based on a UART communication protocol.

The frequency hopping point table information comprises related information required by frequency hopping control such as sequence numbers, frequencies, phases, power and the like, and the frequency hopping point table information comprises a plurality of frequency points. When the frequency hopping point table is read and written by the frequency hopping point table reader, the upper computer is connected with the frequency hopping point table reader to read and write the frequency hopping point table by using a UART bus protocol, and the specific steps are as follows:
-start: the function of starting reading and writing the frequency hopping point table is shown.
-reading: a data frame is sent containing the position of the frequency bin to be read in the frequency bin table (range 0-255), or no data frame is sent indicating that the entire frequency bin table is to be read. A data frame is received containing the value of the read frequency bin (range 10000000-1400000000).
