Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、送受信機に用いられ、送信系と受信系のベースバンド信号をコヒーレントに形成するための直交変復調器の改良に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、送信出力から受信出力への回り込み干渉が生ずる恐れのある中継増幅器などにおいては、干渉をベースバンド領域でキャンセルする技術が知られている。この場合、送信系と受信系の各々のベースバンド信号は、コヒーレントに構成し、周波数オフセットなどによる相対的なベースバンド信号の回転の発生を防ぐ必要がある。
【0003】
図2は、このような従来の直交変復調器の構成を示すブロック図である。
図2において、1は水晶等を備えてなる基準発振器、2は基準発振器1の出力側に接続され、直交検波用の局発信号を発生する直交検波用局部発振器、3は基準発振器1に接続され、直交変調用の局発信号を発生する直交変調用局部発振器、4は基準発振器1に接続され、送信系の中間周波数を生成する送信系中間周波数生成MIX(ミキサ)用局部発振器、5は直交検波用局部発振器2の出力側に接続された直交検波回路、6は直交変調用局部発振器3の出力側に接続された直交変調回路、7は送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器4の出力側と直交変調回路6の出力側に接続された送信系中間周波数生成MIX(ミキサ)である。
【0004】
直交検波用局部発振器2と、直交変調用局部発振器3と、送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器4とは、共通の基準発振器1の発振周波数を基準としているので、送信系、受信系の中間周波数fIFTとfIFRが等しい限り、送信系と受信系のベースバンド信号はコヒーレントに保つことができる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の直交変復調器では、直交検波用局部発振器2、直交変調用局部発振器3、送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器4で示されるように、PLL構成で実現される局部発振器を3系統必要とする。
PLLを有する局部発振器2、3、4を3系等も備えると、回路規模が大きくなり、コスト高となり、またPLLは、雑音等に敏感であるため、結果的に直交変復調器が雑音等に敏感となり、雑音等の影響を受け易くなるという問題点がある。
【0006】
この発明は、PLL構成で実現される局部発振器を減らすことで、低コストで回路規模を小さくすることができると共に、雑音等の影響も受けにくい直交変復調器を得ることを目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
従来の課題を解決するため、この発明は、直交検波用局発信号(直交検波用局部発振周波数)fIFが入力される直交検波回路14と、直交変調用局発信号(直交変調用局部発振周波数)Δfが入力される直交変調回路16と、ミキサ用局発信号(送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振周波数(fIF+Δf))が入力され、前記直交変調回路16より出力される信号(Δf)を変換するためのミキサ17とを備えてなる直交変復調器において、
前記直交検波用局発信号fIFを出力する直交検波用局部発振器12と、前記ミキサ用局発信号(fIF+Δf)を出力するミキサ用局部発振器(送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器)13とを備え、前記直交変調用局発信号Δfを前記直交検波用局発信号fIFと前記ミキサ用局発信号(fIF+Δf)を混合して得るようにしたものである。
【0008】
このような構成によれば、従来のように直交変調用周波数を得るための局部発振器をミキサにより構成することができ、従って、PLL構成で実現される局部発振器を減らすことができる。
【0009】
なお、実施の形態における直交変復調器は、受信系中間周波からベースバンド信号を生成する直交検波回路14と、前記ベースバンド信号を生成するのに必要な局部発振周波数を出力する直交検波用局部発振器12と、直交変調周波数から送信系中間周波数を生成するミキサ17と、前記送信系中間周波数を生成するのに必要な局部発振周波数を出力する送信系中間周波数生成用局部発振器13と、ベースバンド信号から直交変調信号を生成する直交変調回路16と、前記直交検波用局部発振器12と前記送信系中間周波数生成用局部発振器13から前記直交変調信号生成に必要な局部発振周波数を出力するミキサ15と、前記各局部発振器の基準周波数を出力する基準発振器11から構成される。ここで、受信系中間周波、送信系中間周波はそれぞれ受信波、送信波でもよい。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1はこの発明の実施の形態に係る直交変復調器を示すブロック図である。
図1において、11は水晶等を備えてなる基準発振器、12は入力側が基準発振器11の出力側に接続された直交検波用局部発振器、13は入力側が基準発振器11の出力側に接続された送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器である。
【0011】
また、図1において、14は第1の入力端子14aが直交検波用局部発振器12の出力端子に接続され、また、その第2の入力端子14bに受信系の中間周波数信号fIFRが入力される直交検波回路、15は第1の入力端子15aが直交検波用局部発振器12の出力端子に接続され、第2の入力端子15bが送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器13の出力端子に接続されたミキサである。
【0012】
また、16は第1の入力端子16aにミキサ15の出力端子が接続され、第2、第3の入力端子16b,16cそれぞれにI(t)信号とQ(t)信号(ベースバンド信号)が入力される直交変調回路、17は第1の入力端子17aに直交変調回路16の出力端子が接続され、第2の入力端子17bに送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器13の出力端子が接続されたミキサである。
【0013】
以下に実施の形態の動作について説明する。
直交検波回路14は、直交検波用局部発振器12より出力された直交検波用局部発振周波数fIFにより受信系の中間周波数信号fIFRを直交検波し、I(t)信号とQ(t)信号(ベースバンド信号)を得る。
【0014】
ミキサ15は直交検波用局部発振器12より出力された直交検波用局部発振周波数fIFと送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器13より出力された送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振周波数(fIF+Δf)を混合し、直交変調用周波数Δfを生成し、直交変調回路16の入力端子16aに出力する。
【0015】
直交変調回路16は直交変調用周波数Δfにより、入力されるI(t)信号とQ(t)信号(ベースバンド信号)を変調し、周波数Δfの変調信号を得る。
【0016】
ミキサ17は送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器13より出力された送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振周波数(fIF+Δf)と直交変調回路16より出力された周波数Δfの変調信号周波数を混合し、送信系の中間周波数信号fIFTを得る。
【0017】
以上の構成によれば、直交検波用局部発振器12と送信系中間周波数生成MIX用局部発振器13とは共通の基準発振器11の発振周波数を基準としており、またミキサ15から出力される直交変調用周波数Δfも基準発振器11の発振周波数を基準としていることになり、送信系、受信系の中間周波数fIFT、fIFRが等しければ、送信系と受信系のベースバンド信号はコヒーレントに保つことができる。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明より明らかなように、この発明によれば、従来3系統必要であった局部発振器の一つを、他の二つの局部発振器からの局部発振周波数を混合するミキサで機能的に実現することにより、局部発振器の数を減らすことが可能となり、よって、PLL構成で実現される局部発振器を減らすことで、低コストで回路規模を小さくすることができると共に、雑音等の影響も受けにくい直交変復調器を得ることができるという効果を奏する。
