Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/117,091, filed on Nov. 12, 2013, which is a US National Phase of PCT/RU2013/000543, filed on Jun. 6, 2013, which are both incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- Phase, frequency and rate of change of frequency are parameters independent of energy of the input signal (i.e., they are non-energy parameters). There are conventional methods of estimating non-energy parameters of a signal based on processing of variables received from a phase locked loop (PLL).
- A method and apparatus are used for estimating changing frequency of a signal received by a satellite receiver, see U.S. Pat. No. 7,222,035. The system includes a PLL having a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) and a filter of frequency estimates (FFE). The PLL tracks the changing signal frequency and outputs non-smoothed frequency estimates into the FFE. The FFE then smoothes noise in the signal to produce a more accurate smoothed frequency estimate of the input signal.
- Efficient detection and signal parameter estimation with application to high dynamic range GPS receivers, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,959,656. This publication describes an apparatus for obtaining estimates of signal parameters, such as carrier phase and frequency. The described system employs an adaptive Hilbert transform in a phase locked loop to estimate the parameters.
- A system according to K. Sithamparanathan, Digital-PLL Assisted Frequency Estimation with Improved Error Variance, Create-Net Int. Res. Centre, Trento, IEEE Globecom, Nov. 30, 2008-Dec. 4, 2008, includes a PLL having NCO and a moving average filter (MAF) having N-samples length. The frequency estimates are produced by MAF using the frequency information contained in the phase error process of the digital PLL. The precision of frequency estimation when using this method is proportional to 1/N.
- An apparatus and method described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,869,554 use a PLL and provide a phase estimation of the input signal from which signal frequency is estimated by a derivative function and low pass filtering.
- A digital PLL described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,771,250 generates signal phase which is an approximation of the phase of a received signal with a linear estimator. The effect of a complication associated with non-zero transport delays related to the digital PLL is then compensated by a predictor. The estimator provides recursive estimates of phase, frequency, and higher order derivatives, while the predictor compensates for transport lag inherent in the loop.
- K. De Brabandere et al., Design and Operation of a Phase-Locked Loop with Kalman Estimator-Based Filter for Single-Phase Applications, IEEE 2006, describes the design procedure of a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) preceded by a Kalman estimator-based filter. It provides a highly accurate and fast estimate of the 50 Hz electrical grid frequency and phase angle in grid-connected power electronic applications. A Kalman filter is placed before the PLL in order to ensure that the PLL input matches an ideal sinusoidal waveform as closely as possible at all times, even when the voltage is highly distorted by the presence of harmonics. This ensures fast and low-distortion operation of the PLL for single-phase applications.
- A method of measuring frequency for sinusoidal signals according to U.S. Pat. Publication No. 2011/0050998, published Aug. 31, 2009, entitled Digital Phase Lock Loop Configurable As A Frequency Estimator, provides for obtaining a current signal phase as an argument of the complex number, in-phase samples being a real part of the number, while the quadrature samples of quadrature signal decomposition components, converted into digital form and filtered, are the imaginary part of the number; receiving and storing a data block from sequential current differences in signal phases; generating a weight function in accordance with the given mathematical equations, which are used to estimate signal frequency.
- However, the above methods provide measurements when there is no NCO control delay. The objective, therefore, is to obtain estimates of the input signal phase and its derivatives when there is a constant or changing in time delay of NCO control, and the addition of the control unit allows changing the bandwidth and the order of PLL to reduce fluctuation and dynamic errors.
- Receivers of signals from navigation satellites (e.g., GPS, Galileo, etc.) have a large number of channels, in which the phase discriminators and loop filter of phase locked loop (PLL) operate in phase with the data bits and control numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) carried out simultaneously in all the channels. Since the boundaries of symbols for different satellites do not match, there is a variable time delay between generation of control signals and NCO control moment. This delay may be measured, for example, by counting the number of samples in the delay interval.

- Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description that follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

FIG. 2B is a functional block diagram of a mixer unit for a complex input process. -

-
FIG. 1 shows a functional block diagram for an embodiment of the invention. - The measuring system includes a digital PLL with a controllable loop filter (LF), a control unit (CU), a delay meter and an estimator unit (EU) of signal parameters. A digital PLL consists of the following primary components: a digital mixer, an accumulator unit (AU), a phase discriminator (PD), a controllable loop filter (LF), and a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO).
- Let the input of the mixer unit receive digital samples of a real analog process Ua(t)=Uc(t)+UG(t) representing an additive mixture of Binary Phase Shift Key (BPSK)-signal Uc(t) and noise UG(t). The desired signal Uc(t) is equal to
-
U c(t)=A c cos[2πφc(t)+D·π] (1) - where Ac is the amplitude of the signal,
- φc(t)=∫fc(t)dt+φ0 is the signal phase [in cycles],
- fc(t) is the signal frequency [Hz],
- φ0(t) is the initial phase [in cycles],
- D is a data (+1 or −1).
- Signal phase φc(t), signal frequency fc(t) and rate of change of frequency {dot over (f)}c(t) are the parameters that need to be estimated (measured).
- Input samples Un=Ua(n·Ts), where Ts is the sampling period, n=0, 1, 2, . . . , are multiplied by digital samples of complex sinusoidal signal from NCO (FIG. -2A):
-
- where ANCO is the amplitude of complex sinusoidal signal, and φn NCO is phase in cycles. Multiplication results for a digitized real input signal is
-
- For a digitized complex input signal (Un 1, Un Q), the mixer (
FIG. 2B ) operates based on equation: -
- The samples In and Qn are fed to the inputs of an accumulators unit (AU) with reset to the period Tc(
FIG. 3 ) which is synchronized with the boundaries of binary symbols and equal to the symbol duration. The reset period of accumulators Tc is the control period in the PLL. The generated complex samples (Ii Σ,Qi Σ) at the outputs of the accumulators unit are fed to the inputs of the phase discriminator producing signal zi d e.g., as shown inFIG. 4 . The phase discriminator contains a determinant of the symbol character {circumflex over (μ)}i (sign), a low-pass filter (LPF) smoothing an in-phase component Ii s from output of the accumulator with reset multiplied by {circumflex over (μ)}i that is {circumflex over (μ)}i·Ii Σ and zi d is calculated based on equation: -
z i d=arctg({circumflex over (μ)}i ·Q i Σ /I i LPF) (5) - where Qi Σ—a quadrature component from output of the accumulator with reset, Ii LPF is a LPF output.
- Signal zi d from the PD output comes to the controllable digital loop filter (LF) that controls the NCO, wherein there may be a constant or a changing time delay of NCO control.
- At the beginning of operation, the order of the loop filter is set considering a priori information about a movement pattern.
- By analyzing zi d at the output of the PD and estimated parameters the control unit changes the loop filter bandwidth and the loop filter order by changing transfer coefficients.
- The control unit changes the loop filter bandwidth by varying auxiliary variable ki(kmin≦ki≦kmax) that is used for calculation of LF transfer coefficients based on the following equations:
-
in a first-order loop filter kmin=1 -
αi=1/(k i+1) (6) -
in a second-order loop filter kmin=2 -
- in a third-order loop filter kmin=3
-
- From equations (6)-(9) it follows that as variable ki increases, LF transfer coefficients decreases, and hence the bandwidth reduces as well. And otherwise, as variable ki decreases, LF bandwidth increases. Value ki=kmax corresponds to the minimum bandwidth of PLL.
- A delay meter (DM) measures delay τ of the NCO control wherein the loop filter and the estimate unit operates based on the measured delay. Signal zi d from the PD output and measured delay z comes to the controllable digital loop filter (LF). The third order loop filter with transfer gains αi,βi,γi, described by the following recurrence equations a) and b), where
-
- a) for the case of frequency controlled NCO
-
- b) for the case of frequency-phase controlled NCO
-
- Digital phase samples Zi+ν φ (phase codes) are fed to the NCO phase control input and abruptly change its phase by the corresponding value (in radian) Zi+ν NCO=Zi+ν φ·Δφ NCO, where Δφ NCO is the phase step size (in radian) in the NCO. Samples Zi+ν ω (frequency codes) are delivered to the NCO frequency input and determine its frequency ωi+ν NCO=zi+ν ω·Δω NCO (in radians), where Δω NCO is the frequency step size (in radians) in the NCO. Since NCO frequency is constant over the entire interval Tc, NCO phase changes linearly on intervals Tc.
- An estimator unit connected to the loop filter estimates a received signal phase {circumflex over (φ)}i c (radian) and its derivatives−frequency {circumflex over (ω)}i c (radians) and a changing rate of the input signal frequency {circumflex over ({dot over (ω)}i c (radian/s2) in accordance with the following recurrence equation:
-
- At γi0 the order of the loop filter will be second, and if βi=0 as well, LF will be a first-order filter.
- If |zi d| at the PD output does not exceed the preset threshold zthr d>0, the control block reduces LF bandwidth by increasing variable ki by Δk, and thereby reducing fluctuation errors of estimates for the signal parameters, i.e.:
-
if |Z i d |≦z thr d, then -
k i =k i−1+Δk, (13) - where Δk>0 if the obtained value
-
k i >k max then k i =k max (14) - The threshold zthr d is selected based on compromise considerations: too high threshold means the adaptation process will be long, and will have errors in the estimate during rapid changes in the input, while too low value will lead to a worse estimate during operation that is close to steady state.
- If value |zi d| at the PD output exceeds the preset threshold zthr d, and the order of the loop filter NLF is less than maximum preset value Nmax LF, the control unit increases by 1 the order of the loop filter to reduce dynamic errors. The order of the loop filter is usually chosen as NLF≦4. If value |zi d| at the PD output exceeds the preset threshold zthr d, and the order of the loop filter NLF is equal to the maximum preset value Nmax LF, the control block increases the LF bandwidth to reduce dynamic errors, i.e.
- if
-
|z i d |>z thr d then k i =k i−1 /r where r>1 (15) - if the obtained value
-
k i <k min, then k i =k min (16) - Typical values are 1<r<4.
- Having thus described the invention, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain advantages of the described method and apparatus have been achieved.
- It should also be appreciated that various modifications, adaptations, and alternative embodiments thereof may be made within the scope and spirit of the present invention. The invention is further defined by the following claims.
