Definitions
- the present invention relates to sampling of intermediate frequency signals in receivers, and, more particularly, to quadrature envelope sampling of intermediate frequency signals in receivers.
- a radio frequency (RF) signal is converted into an intermediate frequency (IF) signal.
- IF intermediate frequency
- One IF stage is typically used.
- the received signal is converted by IF mixers into in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) baseband signals.
- I/Q signals are filtered by a pair of lowpass channel filters.
- the I/Q lowpass filter outputs are sampled simultaneously by a pair of lowpass analog-to-digital converters (ADC).
- ADC analog-to-digital converters
- the digitized data produced by the converters are processed by digital signal hardware to recover the desired information, such as voice, image, and other data. Due to the circuit mismatch from the I/Q IF mixers and the I/Q lowpass filters, the gain and phase frequency response between the I channel and the Q channel are often not the same. This is called I/Q imbalance. In addition, the DC offset problem is very common with this approach.
- Bandpass sampling of an IF signal is another sampling scheme.
- the received signal is directly sampled at the IF stage by a bandpass sampling ADC.
- the sampling can take place with either oversampling or subsampling.
- the scheme eliminates two IF mixers and analog lowpass filters as compared to the conventional I/Q lowpass sampling scheme previously described.
- the bandpass sampling scheme eliminates the I/Q imbalance and the DC offset.
- the cost and complexity of designing, fabricating, and implementing a bandpass ADC and a bandpass digital filter as well as the associated power consumption may limit the usefulness of this sampling approach.
- the present invention provides an apparatus and method for the direct intermediate frequency (IF) sampling of a received signal which is modulated by a two- dimensional signal constellation, such as quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
- IF direct intermediate frequency
- QPSK quadrature phase shift keying

- the IF signal is sampled by a pair of lowpass analog-to-digital converters thereby achieving significant savings in power consumption and fabrication cost as compared to the more complex and expensive bandpass analog-to-digital converters and digital bandpass filters while maintaining comparable performance with previous designs.
- the present invention in one form thereof, includes a receiver which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.
- the receiver includes a radio frequency (RF) mixer, an IF filter, and an amplifier.
- RF radio frequency
- IF filter Directly connected to the amplifier is a first and a second ADC which are operable to directly sample the IF signal using a quadrature envelope sampling scheme.
- DSP digital signal processor
- the present invention includes a method for direct IF sampling of a signal which is modulated by a two-dimensional signal constellation in a receiver.
- the method includes the steps of receiving a signal and converting the signal to an intermediate frequency using an RF mixer.
- the method further includes filtering and amplifying the resultant IF signal.
- the amplified IF signal is directly sampled by a pair of lowpass analog- to-digital converters using a quadrature envelope sampling scheme.
- a DSP is then used to process the sampled information extracted by the lowpass analog-to-digital converters to recover the desired information.
- An advantage of the present invention is the reduced power consumption as compared to previous sampling schemes while maintaining good results.
- Another advantage of the present invention is the reduced complexity as compared to previous sampling schemes while maintaining good results.

- IF mixers 120 down-convert the received signal into in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) baseband signals.
- the I/Q signals are then filtered by a pair of lowpass channel filters 126.
- Lowpass analog-to-digital converters 128 may be converters using Sigma Delta modulation technique.

- the filtered signal is then input into variable gain amplifier 218.
- the IF amplified output from amplifier 218 is input into bandpass analog-to-digital converter 220 which either oversamples or sub-samples the signal.
- the output of converter 220 is filtered by digital bandpass filter 222 and then transmitted for further processing by digital signal processor 224.
- Fig. 3 is a preferred embodiment of a receiver architecture according to the present invention.
- Receiver 300 uses quadrature envelope sampling.
- Antenna 301 receives an incoming transmitted signal.
- Antenna 301 is connected to duplex 302.
- Duplex 302 includes two filters 304 and 306.
- Receive filter 304 is operable to pass the frequency of the received signal.
- Transmit filter 306 is operable to pass the frequency of a transmitted signal.

- the filtered signal is then input into variable gain amplifier 318.
- the IF signal is then directly sampled by a pair of lowpass analog-to-digital converters 320.
- Direct sampling involves no intervening components between the amplifier and the analog-to-digital converters. Instead of including mixers and filters before the sampling of the IF signal as is present in the prior art, direct sampling permits the sampling of the IF signal without any mixers, analog channel filters, or similar intervening components. The elimination of intervening components reduces cost and complexity by introducing fewer parts into the design and fabrication of the receiver.
- the output of converters 320 is input into digital signal processor 322 for further processing.
- the channel filtering with this architecture is performed by the DSP and the I/Q imbalance is minimized.
- DSP digital signal processor
- I/Q imbalance is minimized.
- a significant saving can be achieved in both power consumption and fabrication cost.
- Such a configuration discloses a direct IF quadrature envelope sampling scheme for an I/Q signal pair by using a pair of lowpass analog-to-digital converters 320.
- a fast sample-and-hold circuit must be present at the input of lowpass analog-to-digital converter 320 in order for the quadrature envelope sampling approach to function properly.
- lowpass analog-to-digital converter 320 is a Sigma Delta analog-to-digital converter.
- lowpass analog- to-digital converter 320 is a flash-type ADC. If lowpass analog-to-digital converter 320 were a flash-type converter, only one converter would be necessary instead of a pair of converters, thereby further reducing cost and complexity. This is because in the quadrature envelope sampling, the I/Q channels are not sampled simultaneously as in the prior art. Therefore, by time multiplexing, both I and Q channels get sampled by one ADC.
- Fig. 4 is a graphical representation of the inventive quadrature envelope sampling scheme according to the present invention.
- the I/Q samples from the quadrature envelope sampling scheme are not taken at the same sampling time.
- the directly sampled IF signal is sampled in a scheme in which the Q-channel ADC takes a sample a quarter of the IF carrier period before or after the I-channel ADC takes a sample.
- the Q channel sample is taken a quarter of the IF carrier period later.
- An I-channel sampling point is shown generally at 410.
- a Q-channel sampling point is shown generally at 420, ninety degrees after I-channel sampling point 410.
- the IF carrier period is denoted by T IF and the separation of point 410 and point 420 is shown with arrows indicated by TT .F / 4. The distance between these arrows represent a quarter of the IF carrier period.
- the sampling frequency is the same as the intermediate frequency or sub-harmonic frequencies of the intermediate frequency. Essentially, the sampling frequency is equal to the intermediate frequency divided by the order of the sub-harmonics (an integer). In Fig. 4a, the order of the sub-harmonic is one (1), which yields a sampling frequency equal to the intermediate frequency. In Fig. 4b, the order of the sub-harmonic is two (2), which yields a sampling frequency equal to one-half (1/2) of the intermediate frequency. Since the typical intermediate frequency is much greater than the information bandwidth, the sampling delay (equal to a quarter of the IF carrier period) in the Q-channel (or in the I channel) will not have any practical negative impact as will be shown below.
- Fig. 5 provides a graphical plot of the directly sampled I-channel baseband signal with the quadrature envelope sampling scheme from Fig. 4.
- Fig. 5 includes a plot of two curves which, however, are indistinguishable as they are identical.
- One curve represents the typical I-channel baseband sampling.
- the second represents the I-channel with quadrature envelope sampling from the IF signal.
- the two I-channel curves are identical.
- Fig. 6 provides a graphical plot of the directly sampled Q-channel baseband signal with the quadrature envelope sampling scheme from Fig. 4.
- Fig. 6 includes a plot of two curves.
- One curve represents the typical Q-channel baseband sampling.
- the second represents the Q-channel with quadrature envelope sampling from the IF signal. The difference between the two curves is very small and, therefore, the curves appear to overlap one another.
- Fig. 7 provides a graphical plot of the distortion calculated by Equation (6) for the Q-channel over the same period as used in Fig. 6.
- Fig. 7 illustrates the distortion which is the difference between the two curves in Fig. 6.
- the amount of distortion is very small because the intermediate frequency is much higher than the information bandwidth.
- a theoretical mathematical analysis of the quadrature envelope sampling scheme is given below.
- the received signal denoted as S(t) with its amplitude and phase as m(t) and ⁇ (t) and an arbitrary constant initial phase ⁇ , is represented in Equation (1).
- the Q-channel sampled data with the quadrature envelope sampling scheme is distorted and the amount of distortion is given by Equation (6) and is shown in Fig. 7 over the same period as the signals shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
- ⁇ (t, ) m(t l ) • sinf ⁇ (t, )] ⁇ m t, + ⁇ ) ⁇ sinf ⁇ (t, + ⁇ )] (6)
- Fig. 8 is a graphical plot of power spectrum 810 of the signal and distortion spectrum 820 as calculated by Equation (6).
- the ratio of the desired signal energy over the distortion energy (SDR) averaged over M sampling points is calculated using Equation (7).
- a calculation over a 1280-chip period for the CDMA communication system gives an SDR of approximately 53 dB.
- the SDR value can be seen in Fig. 8 by observing the difference between power spectrum 810 and distortion spectrum 820.
- the spectrum analysis reveals that the spectrum of the distortion signal is also band limited and has the same bandwidth as the signal in Fig. 7.
- the quadrature envelope sampling scheme uses the aliasing property of digital sampling. Therefore, the noise in the image bands will fall back into the signal band. Due to the filtering protection of the IF surface acoustic wavefilter, the noise from the image band is greatly reduced. Therefore, the aliasing noise effect should not be a concern.
- the sampling frequency is the third subharmonic frequency of the intermediate frequency, e.g., IF - 183.6 MHz, the image band is already outside of the US cellular receive band.
