Abstract
Description
特に、車載用FMラジオ受信機は、車両に搭載され移動を伴うため、マルチパス発生を伴う受信状況が時々刻々と変化し、このため、受信状況に応じて適切な制御を行い、マルチパスノイズを抑制することが重要設計事項になる。
この振幅補正動作制限の制御用パラメータとして、受信電界レベルと変調信号レベルに基づく受信状況を用い、受信電界レベル検出部18と変調信号レベル検出部19の出力から、受信状況判定部20によって受信状況を判定し、この受信状況に応じて上記した動作制限レベルの制御を行っている。
しかしながら、上記した制御用パラメータにマルチパスの発生状況が加味されておらず、したがって、例えば、強いマルチパス発生状況においては振幅補正動作制限レベルが不足してマルチパス歪みが発生し、逆に、弱いマルチパス発生状況においては振幅補正動作制限レベルが過大となり、音声歪みが発生するという問題があった。
実施の形態1.
図1は、この発明の実施の形態1に係る無線受信装置の内部構成を示すブロック図である。ここでは、無線受信装置として、FMラジオ受信機が例示されている。
すなわち、マルチパス発生状況検出部14は、振幅検出部13により出力される振幅レベルを監視してマルチパスの発生状況の程度を検出してマルチパス発生状況判定部15へ出力し、マルチパス発生状況判定部15は、マルチパス発生状況検出部14により検出されたマルチパス発生状況の程度に基づき振幅補正動作制限レベルの判定を行い、制限レベル判定部21へ出力する。制限レベル判定部21へは、他に、受信状況判定部20から、受信電界レベルと変調信号レベルの一方、もしくは両方により前記電波の受信状況が入力されている。制限レベル判定部21は、受信状況判定部20から出力される受信状況判定結果に基づきマルチパス発生状況判定部15により出力される振幅補正動作制限レベルの調整を行ってFM復調器9に供給し、FM復調器9の振幅補正に動作制限を設けてマルチパスノイズの抑制を行なう。
平滑処理部141では、振幅レベルが小さくなる方向に対しては遅い時定数を、逆に、振幅レベルが大きくなる方向に対しては早い時定数を設定している。これによって、平滑処理部141では、瞬時の落ち込みには追随せず、振幅のハイレベルを検出することができる。一方、平滑処理部142では、振幅レベルが小さくなる方向に対しては早い時定数を、逆に振幅レベルが大きくなる方向に対しては遅い時定数を設定している。これによって、瞬時の落ち込みに追随し、振幅のローレベルを検出することができる。
乗算部144による乗算出力は、振幅の落ち込みが大きい場合には小さくなり、逆に振幅の落ち込みが小さい場合には大きくなる。そのため、乗算出力が小さくなる方向で強いマルチパス発生状況、逆に乗算出力が大きくなる方向では弱いマルチパス発生状況であることが分かる。このように、マルチパス発生状況の検出は、搬送波振幅レベルの瞬時の落ち込みを検出し、正規化することによって行う。このことにより、検出値が大きい場合には強いマルチパス、検出値が小さい場合には弱いマルチパスといった判定が可能である。
ここでは、マルチパス発生状況が小さい、すなわち、マルチパス発生の程度が強い場合にはマルチパス発生状況判定出力が大となるようにマルチパス発生状況判定部15を動作させている。逆に、マルチパス発生状況が大きい、すなわち、マルチパスの程度が弱い場合にはマルチパス発生状況判定出力が小となるように、マルチパス発生状況判定部15を動作させている。ここで、マルチパス発生状況判定出力が大であるということはマルチパス抑圧効果が高く、マルチパス発生状況判定出力が小であるということはマルチパス抑圧効果が低いことを示している。
一方、受信電界比較部203では、予め設定された少なくとも1段階以上の閾値と入力される受信電界レベルとを比較し、その時点での受信電界レベルが閾値に対して如何なる関係にあるかについて判定部206に出力している。また、変調信号比較部204では、同じく予め設定された少なくとも1段階以上の閾値と、入力される変調信号レベルとを比較し、その時点での変調信号レベルが閾値に対して如何なる関係にあるかについて判定部206に出力している。
ここでは、簡単化のために、変調信号レベル、受信電界レベルともに3段階での判定を行うものとして説明する。すなわち、変調信号レベルに対してM1、M2の閾値を設け、低変調から高変調まで3つに区分し、受信電界レベルに対してもS1、S2の閾値を設け、弱電界から強電界まで3つに区分している。図6中、1~3の数字はそれぞれ制限レベルであり、制限レベル1が最も低い設定であり、このときマルチパスノイズの抑圧効果は最も小さく、制限レベル3が最も高い設定であり、このときマルチパスノイズの抑圧効果は最も大きい。判定部205は、受信電界レベルと変調信号レベルによって決まる制限レベル1~3を受信状況判定結果#1として制限レベル判定部21へ出力する。
ここでは、簡単化のために、変調信号レベル、受信電界レベルともに3段階での判定を行うものとして説明する。すなわち、変調信号レベルに対しM3、M4の閾値を設け、低変調から高変調まで3つに区分し、受信電界レベルに対してもS3、S4の閾値を設け、弱電界から強電界まで3つに区分している。図7中、A~Cの英記号はそれぞれ制限レベル判定部21に入力される係数であり、係数Aが最も低い設定であり、このときマルチパスノイズの抑圧効果は最も小さく、係数Cが最も高い設定であり、このときマルチパスノイズの抑圧効果は最も大きい。判定部206は、変調信号レベルと、受信電界レベルとによって決まる制限レベルA~Cを受信状況判定結果#2として制限レベル判定部21へ出力する。
以下、この発明の実施の形態1に係る無線受信装置(FMラジオ受信機)の動作について、図9を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
FM復調部91は、入力信号(FM信号)を復調して振幅補正部92へ出力するが、この出力は、上記の条件#1を満たすが条件#2を満たさない。すなわち、FM復調部91の出力には入力信号の振幅変化応答成分が含まれる。振幅補正部92は、この振幅変化応答成分をFM復調部91の出力から取り除く。また、補正係数演算部93は、入力信号の振幅を検出し、この振幅の逆数に比例する振幅補正係数を生成して振幅補正部92へ出力する。振幅補正部92では、FM復調部91の出力信号と補正係数演算部93の出力である補正係数とを乗算することで、出力信号から振幅変化応答成分を取り除き、上記した条件#1と条件#2を満たす復調された音声信号を、図1に示す受信電界レベル検出部18、変調信号レベル検出部19、BPF16、ならびにSRC22へ出力する。
制限レベル切替部941は、制限レベル切替制御部942による制御の下、振幅検出部13により検出された振幅を基準値と比較して、例えば、振幅検出部13の出力が基準値より大きい場合は、振幅検出部13出力をそのまま補正係数演算部93へ出力し、逆に小さい場合は、制限レベル判定部21による判定結果を出力するように動作する。なお、振幅検出部13の出力がそのまま補正係数演算部93へ入力される場合におけるFM復調器9の動作は従来の動作と同様である。
逆に、弱いマルチパス状況下ではマルチパス発生状況判定出力が小さくなり、且つ変調信号レベル、受信電界レベルが高い場合には受信状況判定結果#1、#2がそれぞれ小さくなり、結果的に、制限レベル判定部21により出力される振幅補正係数制限レベル判定結果が小さくなるため、マルチパスノイズ抑制効果は小さい。
すなわち、振幅検出部13の出力が基準値より小さい場合、FM復調器9の制限レベル制御部94(制限レベル切替部941)が、補正係数演算部93に対してマルチパス発生状況判定部15による判定結果を出力することで、マルチパス発生が大の際にはマルチパスノイズを効果的に低減し、マルチパス発生が小の際には振幅補正動作制限の過大により音声歪みが発生するという弊害を防ぐことができる。
図10は、振幅補正動作制限制御用パラメータとしてマルチパス発生状況と受信電界レベルを用いた場合のFM復調器9ならびにその周辺の回路構成を示すブロック図である。
以下、この発明の実施の形態2に係る無線受信装置(FMラジオ受信機)の動作について、図10を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
すなわち、受信電界レベルが低い場合にはマルチパスノイズの発生頻度が高くなり、逆に受信電界が高い場合にはマルチパスノイズの発生頻度は低くなる。このため、制限レベル判定部21の出力により、マルチパス発生が大であり、且つ、受信電界レベルが低くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を強め、また、マルチパス発生が小且つ受信電界レベルが高くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を弱めるように動作させることが可能である。
すなわち、振幅検出部13の出力が基準値より小さい場合、FM復調器9の制限レベル制御部94(制限レベル切替部941)が、補正係数演算部93に対して制限レベル判定部21による判定結果を出力することで、マルチパス発生が大であり、且つ、受信電界レベルが低くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を強め、また、マルチパス発生が小且つ受信電界レベルが高くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を弱めることができる。したがって、マルチパスノイズを効果的に低減し、また、マルチパス発生が小且つ受信電界レベルが高くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を弱め、振幅補正動作制限の過大により音声歪みが発生するという弊害を防ぐことができる。
図11は、振幅補正動作制限制御用パラメータとしてマルチパス発生状況と変調信号レベルを用いた場合のFM復調器9ならびにその周辺の回路構成を示すブロック図である。
以下、この発明の実施の形態3に係る無線受信装置(FMラジオ受信機)の動作について、図11を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
すなわち、変調信号レベルが低い場合にはマルチパスノイズは目立ちやすく、振幅補正動作制限による音声歪等の違和感は目立ちにくい傾向にある。逆に、変調信号レベルが高い場合にはマルチパスノイズは目立ちにくく、振幅補正動作制限による音声歪み等の違和感は目立ちやすい傾向にある。このため、制限レベル判定部21の出力により、マルチパス発生が大で、且つ、変調信号レベルが低くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を強め、また、マルチパス発生が小且つ変調信号レベルが高くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を弱めることができる。
すなわち、振幅検出部13の出力が基準値より小さい場合、FM復調器9の制限レベル制御部94(制限レベル切替部941)が、補正係数演算部93に対して制限レベル判定部21による判定結果を出力することで、マルチパス発生が大で、変調信号レベルが低くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を強めてマルチパスノイズを効果的に低減し、また、マルチパス発生が小且つ変調信号レベルが高くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を弱めることにより、振幅補正動作制限の過大により音声歪みが発生するという弊害を防ぐことができる。
図12は、振幅補正動作制限制御用パラメータとして、マルチパス発生状況と受信電界レベルと変調信号レベルとを用いた場合のFM復調器9、ならびにその周辺の回路構成を示すブロック図である。
以下、この発明の実施の形態4に係る無線受信装置(FMラジオ受信機)の動作について、図12を参照しながら説明する。
このため、制限レベル判定部21の出力により、マルチパス発生が大で、且つ、受信電界レベルが低く、変調信号レベルが低くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を強め、また、マルチパス発生が小で、且つ、受信電界レベルが高く、変調信号レベルが高くなる方向に対しては、振幅補正動作制限を弱めることができる。
すなわち、振幅検出部13の出力が基準値より小さい場合、FM復調器9の制限レベル制御部94(制限レベル切替部941)が、補正係数演算部93に対して制限レベル判定部21による判定結果を出力することで、制限レベル判定部21の出力により、マルチパス発生が大で、且つ、受信電界レベルが低く、変調信号レベルが低くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を強め、マルチパスノイズを効果的に低減することができる。また、マルチパス発生が小で、且つ、受信電界レベルが高く、且つ、変調信号レベルが高くなる方向に対しては振幅補正動作制限を弱めることにより、振幅補正動作制限の過大により音声歪みが発生するという弊害を防ぐことができる。
なお、上記したこの発明の実施の形態1~4に係る無線受信装置として、FMラジオ受信機のみ例示したが、FMラジオ受信機に制限されることなく、テレビや携帯電話等、放送局や基地局を介して放送もしくは送信される電波を受信する全ての無線受信装置について応用が可能である。
例えば、マルチパス発生状況検出部14で検出されたマルチパスの発生状況に基づき、振幅補正動作制限レベルを判定する制限レベル判定部21におけるデータ処理は、1または複数のプログラムによりコンピュータ上で実現してもよく、また、その少なくとも一部をハードウェアで実現してもよい。
