Description

  The present invention relates to a radio receiving apparatus that multiplexes received radio signals and quantizes them into digital signals by A / D conversion means.

  As a conventional radio receiving apparatus, there is an apparatus that can perform A / D conversion of a multicarrier signal with one A / D conversion means (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this radio receiving apparatus, individual carrier signals are extracted from the received multi-carrier signals. Then, the extracted individual carrier signals are combined after being controlled to have a uniform power level. Further, the synthesized signal is converted into a digital signal by a common A / D conversion means.

  Therefore, in addition to being able to A / D convert a multi-carrier signal with one A / D conversion means, A / D conversion can be performed in a lump after each carrier signal has a uniform power level. Thereby, the quantization accuracy for each carrier signal becomes uniform, and uniform digital demodulation processing can be performed on all carrier signals. In addition, the apparatus can be simplified and can be manufactured at low cost.

JP-A-9-135223 (first page, FIG. 2)

  However, the conventional radio receiving apparatus has the following problems. The wireless receiver in Patent Document 1 can set each carrier signal to a uniform power level, but cannot set an optimum signal level for the quality of each carrier signal. Generally, since the propagation path quality (for example, S / N, fading speed, etc.) differs for each carrier signal, it is necessary to set an optimum signal level for the quality of each carrier signal.

  When all the carrier signals are controlled so as to have a uniform power level, for example, A / D conversion assigned to a carrier signal having a large noise power and a poor quality and a carrier signal having a small noise and a good quality can be performed. As a result, the dynamic range becomes the same. Therefore, assigning more dynamic range to a good quality carrier signal (equivalent to assigning more equivalent quantization bits), or conversely, more dynamic range to a poor quality carrier signal. Cannot be assigned.

  Further, when the signals of different wireless communication systems are frequency-multiplexed and digitally converted by one A / D conversion means, the required dynamic range of A / D conversion differs for each wireless communication system. However, the conventional method has a problem in that an optimal A / D conversion dynamic range cannot be assigned to each wireless communication system.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can perform A / D conversion of a multi-carrier signal with a single A / D conversion means, and according to the quality of each multiplexed signal. An object of the present invention is to obtain a radio receiving apparatus capable of dynamically assigning an optimal A / D conversion dynamic range.

  A radio receiving apparatus according to the present invention includes a receiving unit that receives a plurality of radio signals, an analog processing unit that performs signal processing so that each received signal has a power level corresponding to a set gain, and analog processing. An adder for multiplexing each signal, an A / D converter for digitally converting the signal multiplexed by the adder, and a multiplex for separating each multiplexed signal from the signal after A / D conversion A radio receiving apparatus comprising a signal separation means and a demodulation means for demodulating each signal separated by the multiple signal separation means, based on each signal after being separated by the multiple signal separation means, Quality measurement means for calculating respective quality measurement results corresponding to a plurality of received radio signals and weighting data corresponding to the importance of the plurality of radio signals are provided in advance. Based on the data to calculate the gain for controlling the respective quality measurement results calculated by quality measuring means, in which further comprising a gain setting means for setting a gain to an analog processing means.

  According to the present invention, the power level of the analog signal before A / D conversion is controlled based on the quality measurement result of the quantized signal, so that the quality of each multiplexed signal can be increased. It is possible to obtain a radio receiving apparatus that can dynamically allocate an optimal A / D conversion dynamic range.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a radio reception apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The antennas 1a and 1b corresponding to receiving means convert the received radio signals 2a and 2b into electric signals and send them to the analog processing means 3a and 3b. The analog processing means 3 a and 3 b perform analog signal processing such as amplification, filter processing, and frequency conversion on the input electric signal, control the power level, and output the result to the adding means 4.

  Here, the analog processing means 3a and 3b perform analog signal processing so that the separation processing of the multiplexed signals in the subsequent stage is facilitated. For example, the analog processing means 3a and 3b perform frequency conversion or filter processing so that the respective output signals have different center frequencies and the respective signals do not overlap on the frequency axis.

  The adding unit 4 adds the output signals from the analog processing units 3 a and 3 b and outputs the added analog signal to the A / D conversion unit 5. The A / D conversion unit 5 quantizes the analog signal added by the addition unit 4 into a digital signal. Further, the multiple signal separation means 6 separates the digital signal quantized by the A / D conversion means 5 into a signal derived from the wireless signal 2a and a signal derived from the wireless signal 2b. Specifically, a technique such as a digital filter or a digital fast Fourier transform can be applied to the multiple signal separation means 6.

  The signals separated by the multiplex signal separation means 6 are input to the demodulation means 7a corresponding to the radio signal 2a and the demodulation means 7b corresponding to the radio signal 2b, respectively. The demodulating means 7a and 7b perform demodulation processing on each signal and output the demodulated signal to a device connected to the subsequent stage.

  Further, the signals separated by the multiplex signal separating means 6 are input to the quality measuring means 8a and 8b separately from the paths to the demodulating means 7a and 7b. The quality measuring means 8a and 8b measure the quality of the radio signals 2a and 2b based on the input signals. As a specific quality measurement index, a value such as received signal strength (RSSI) or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be adopted. The respective quality measurement results measured by the quality measuring means 8a and 8b are input to the gain setting means 9.

  The gain setting means 9 performs analog processing so that the analog signals corresponding to the radio signals 2a and 2b can secure the number of quantization bits necessary for processing in the A / D conversion means 5 based on the respective quality measurement results. A gain for controlling the power level is set for the means 3a and 3b. Here, the gain setting means 9 can set the gain according to the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b by preparing in advance data weighted with the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b.

  When the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b is set to 1: 1, the gain setting means 9 makes the quality measurement result for the radio signal 2a and the quality measurement result for the radio signal 2b 1: 1. Next, a gain is set for the analog processing means 3a and 3b. Further, when the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b is set to 2 to 1, the gain setting unit 9 sets the quality measurement result for the radio signal 2a and the quality measurement result for the radio signal 2b to 2 to 1. Thus, the gain is set for the analog processing means 3a and 3b.

  In this way, the gain setting means 9 uses the analog processing means 3a, 3b so that the quality measurement results calculated by the quality measuring means 8a, 8b correspond to the importance of the radio signals 2a, 2b. The gain can be changed dynamically. As a result, a single A / D conversion unit 5 can realize a high-quality wireless receiving apparatus that takes into account the importance of the wireless signal.

  According to the first embodiment, in a radio reception apparatus that multiplexes received radio signals and quantizes them into digital signals by a common A / D conversion unit, A / D is performed based on the quality measurement results of the quantized signals. By dynamically assigning the conversion dynamic range, the number of quantization bits of the A / D conversion means can be used effectively. Furthermore, the A / D conversion dynamic range can be dynamically allocated according to the importance of the preset radio signal. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost of the wireless reception device.

Embodiment 8 FIG.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a gain setting process in the eighth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 shows a process in which the gain setting means 9 determines a gain to be set for the analog processing means 3a and 3b based on the quality measurement result. The processing of the gain setting means 9 in the first to seventh embodiments is basically the same and only the difference in what quality measurement result is used. Therefore, the processing of the gain setting means 9 in the first embodiment will be described based on FIG.

  The gain setting means 9 calculates the gain to be set for the analog processing means 3a, 3b based on the quality measurement results calculated by the quality measuring means 8a, 8b (S801). As described in the first embodiment, the gain setting unit 9 sets the gain according to the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b by providing data weighted with the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b in advance. Can be done.

  Further, the gain setting means 9 adds the calculated gain (S802). Here, the gain setting means 9 has a preset allowable gain maximum value, and determines whether or not the gain addition value exceeds the allowable gain maximum value (S803). The maximum allowable gain value corresponds to a gain value for preventing the total number of quantization bits required by the received radio signal from exceeding the number of quantization bits of the A / D conversion means 5 used in common.

  If it is determined that the gain addition value does not exceed the maximum allowable gain value, the gain setting unit 9 sets the gain value calculated in step S801 for the analog processing units 3a and 3b (S804). The process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the gain addition value exceeds the allowable gain maximum value, the gain setting means 9 adjusts the individual gain values so that the addition value does not exceed the allowable gain maximum value. (S805). As this adjustment, for example, the individual gain values can be lowered at the same ratio so that the added value is within the allowable gain maximum value without changing the weighting weight.

  Alternatively, it is also possible to change the weighting weights, obtain individual gain values again, and make adjustments so that the added value falls within the maximum allowable gain value. When changing the weighting, not only the weighting weight with high importance can be lowered, but also the weighting weight with low importance can be further lowered. Further, for example, the weight of the signal having a high received signal strength (RSSI) can be reduced according to the quality measurement result from the quality measuring means 8a and 8b.

  The gain setting means 9 includes data for weighting the importance of the radio signals 2a and 2b in advance, and further includes data for changing the weight when the added value exceeds the allowable gain maximum value. Thus, the adjustment as described above can be realized. The gain setting means 9 sets the individual gain values adjusted so that the added value finally falls within the allowable setting maximum value for the analog processing means 3a and 3b (S804), and ends the processing.

  In step S803 described above, the case where the gain setting unit 9 has a preset allowable gain maximum value has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The gain setting means 9 can determine whether or not the number of quantization bits has been exceeded by receiving an overflow signal from the A / D conversion means 5. Alternatively, the gain setting means 9 can also calculate the allowable gain maximum value according to the received signal strength (RSSI) obtained from the quality measuring means 8a and 8b.

  According to the eighth embodiment, even when the total number of quantization bits required for the received radio signal exceeds the number of quantization bits of the commonly used A / D conversion means, the importance of each radio signal Or, it becomes possible to dynamically assign the number of quantization bits according to the quality measurement result, etc., and even in situations where the required number of quantization bits cannot be assigned to all wireless signals, priority is given to important wireless signals The number of quantization bits can be assigned to.

  In the above-described first to eighth embodiments, the case where two radio signals are supported has been described for the purpose of simplifying the description. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is similarly applicable when the number of wireless signals is three or more.

  In the first to eighth embodiments described above, the case where the function of controlling the power level is incorporated in the analog processing units 3a and 3b has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to provide an amplifier that can vary the amount of electric power in accordance with the gain set by the gain setting means after the analog processing means 3a and 3b.

  Moreover, although the case where the power level is controlled based on the gain inside the analog processing units 3a and 3b has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the same function can be realized by controlling the level of the local oscillator output signal input to the mixer in the analog processing means 3a, 3b. That is, it is only necessary to have a means for controlling the levels of a plurality of signals input to the adding means 4 from the antennas 1a and 1b to the adding means 4.

  Furthermore, in the above-described first to eighth embodiments, the case where the output of the adder 4 is directly input to the A / D converter 5 is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. A gain control means such as an amplifier or an attenuator may be inserted between the adding means 4 and the A / D conversion means 5. Further, analog signal processing such as frequency conversion and filter may be inserted.

  In the above-described first to eighth embodiments, as an example of a radio signal multiplexing method, a method of arranging so as not to overlap on the frequency axis and performing frequency separation by the multiplexed signal separation means 6 has been described. It is not limited. Any multiplexing method may be used as long as it has means for separating signals derived from the respective radio signals after the A / D conversion means 5. For example, a method of separating multiplexed signals by multiplying spreading codes orthogonal to each other in the analog processing means 3a and 3b and despreading with the respective spreading codes in the multiplexed signal separating means 6 can be applied. It is clear that the above-described gain control method can be applied to any method.

  Also, if the gain control can be performed individually for the signals derived from the respective radio signals, the analog processing means is common to the respective radio signals or the antenna is common. However, it is obvious that the gain control method of the present embodiment is applicable.
