Description
The present invention relates to an ultra wideband (UWB) communication system, and more particularly, to an ultra wideband receiver including the impulse carrier signal reconstructor capable of recovering an impulse carrier signal transmitted from an ultra wideband (UWB) transmitter to a low speed clock.
Ultra wideband (UWB) wireless communication In particular, a UWB-impulse radio (UWB-IR) based wireless communication system uses an electric pulse having a constant period and waveform without using a carrier for 1 nanosecond and transmits and receives data to and from the baseband using a short pulse equal to or less than (nanosecond). UWB-IR (hereinafter abbreviated as UWB), which does not use a carrier wave, is attracting attention as a next generation short-range wireless communication technology in a field requiring precise location recognition such as low-power, low-speed sensor networks and position recognition.
Since the UWB system does not require a frequency transition process in the transmitter / receiver, non-coherent communication is possible. In addition, the UWB system does not require a local oscillator (LO) / mixer, a phase locked loop (PLL), etc. (this is referred to as carrier free). The simple structure of this UWB system not only reduces the material cost and manufacturing cost but also makes it possible to apply to WBAN (wireless body area network) system by application of portable equipment by making battery life longer due to miniaturization and ultra low power consumption Do.
In the case of the impulse-based communication technique using the UWB band, the impulse carrier signal generated at the transmitter is generated as a signal-level impulse carrier signal that can be used at the digital demodulator through the limiter at the receiver. This impulse carrier signal is decoded into signals of "0" and "1" according to the symbol period to generate reception data.
When this method is followed, a phenomenon occurs that the limiter output signal can not be generated uniformly due to multipath distortion caused by obstacles and distortion caused by the influence of analog noise. In order to overcome this, the received impulse carrier signal is recovered by using an oversampled clock.
FIG. 1 shows an example of an RF reception signal by the impulse method of the IEEE802.15.6 WBAN standard, and shows the ADC output of the RF receiver with data rates of 1.5 Mbps and 16 Mbps.
As the data rate increases, the period of the reception impulse carrier signal becomes faster, and the interval of the impulse carrier signal also irregularly occurs. Therefore, timing correction for pulse detection must be performed. That is, in order to recover an impulse carrier signal that comes earlier or later than a predetermined bit rate, a faster clock-based oversampling technique is used. In general, a 4 times oversample clock is used.
As described above, the receiving end of the IEEE 802.15.6 UWB system uses a high-speed oversample clock for restoring the impulse carrier signal, thereby consuming a large amount of power, and furthermore, multipath distortion on the communication channel and nonlinear error of RF and analog signals The pulse width or the period is irregularly distorted, so that bit or symbol error appears even if an oversample clock of 4 times or more is used.
An object of the present invention is to provide an UWB receiver impulse carrier signal reconstructor capable of normally restoring an impulse carrier signal transmitted from a transmitter while minimizing a clock speed of a UWB receiver, The present invention provides an ultra-wideband receiver including the above-
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an UWB receiver for an UWB receiver capable of improving the timing characteristic of a received signal while reducing power consumption of the UWB receiver, and an ultra wideband receiver including the UWB receiver.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an impulse carrier signal reconstructor for an ultra-wideband receiver,
An impulse carrier signal detector including a plurality of impulse carrier signal detectors for sequentially generating trigger signals in accordance with positive and negative edges of a digital impulse carrier signal sequentially input from the RF processor, each of the impulse carrier signal detectors being enabled or disabled;
And an impulse carrier signal restoring unit for counting a reference clock in the receiving end in accordance with a series of the trigger signal inputs to recover a transmission impulse carrier signal synchronized with the receiving end reference clock,
Further, the above-described impulse carrier signal detector includes a plurality of impulse carrier signal detectors connected in a multi-stage manner, each impulse carrier signal detector comprising:
Generating an enable signal for enabling the impulse carrier signal detector located at the rear end in accordance with the positive edge of the first impulse carrier signal inputted in the enable state and resetting the impulse carrier signal detector located at the front end in accordance with the negative edge And a signal is generated together.
The impulse carrier signal detector may further include at least four impulse carrier signal detectors connected in a multi-stage manner in order to detect a stable received impulse carrier signal.
Wherein each of the impulse carrier signal detectors comprises:
A positive
A negative edge flip-
A combiner for combining the outputs of the positive edge flip-flop and the negative edge flip-flop to generate an enable signal for enabling a downstream impulse carrier signal detector;
A positive
And a negative
Furthermore, the UWB receiver according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:
An RF processor for receiving the impulse carrier signal transmitted from the UWB transmitter and converting the received impulse carrier signal into a baseband impulse signal;
An analog-to-digital converter for converting the baseband impulse carrier signal into a digital impulse carrier signal;
An impulse carrier signal detector including a plurality of impulse carrier signal detectors for sequentially generating trigger signals while being enabled or disabled in accordance with positive and negative edges of the digital impulse carrier signal;
And an impulse carrier signal decompression unit for recovering a transmission impulse carrier signal synchronized with a reception internal reference clock by counting a reception internal reference clock in accordance with a series of the trigger signal inputs.
According to the above-mentioned problem solving means, when each of the impulse carrier signal detectors constituting the multi-stage sequentially generates the respective trigger signals in accordance with the positive and negative edges of the digital impulse carrier signal sequentially inputted, It is possible to recover the transmission impulse carrier signal synchronized with the receiving-end reference clock by sequentially counting the receiving-end reference clock in accordance with the signal input so that the receiving impulse carrier signal is faster than the normal impulse carrier signal period without using the high- The impulse carrier signal of the slow period can be normally detected and recovered.
Therefore, the present invention can reduce the power consumption by 50% as compared with a general receiver using a high-speed clock at least four times to recover a transmission signal, and can improve the timing characteristics of a received signal when implemented with a chip by using a low clock The effect can be obtained.
