Abstract
Description
また、特許文献1に記載された技術では、位相回転量が時間的に変動する移動受信環境であり、その変動速度が信号伝送速度と同等であるような場合は、復調信号が位相回転の影響を受け易くなるため受信信号の信頼性が低下する。
そこで、本発明は、受信信号の振幅及び位相が時々刻々と変化する伝送路環境、並びに、受信信号と雑音の電力が拮抗する劣悪な伝送路環境であっても、復調信号の信頼性を向上することを目的とする。
図1は、実施の形態1に係る差動復調装置100の構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。本実施の形態に係る差動復調装置100は、差動復調時に基準信号を参照することにより、雑音及び位相回転の影響を効率的に抑制し、強雑音環境下であっても復調性能を高く維持できるように構成されている。また、差動復調装置100は、受信信号の信頼性、言い換えると、受信信号と基準信号との比較結果に応じて、加重係数を逐次生成し、この加重係数を用いて基準信号の更新を行うことで、受信信号における累積的な位相回転の影響を排除できるように構成されている。
Y(m+1)=∠{X(m+1)Z*(m)} :(1)
また、第1物理量Dk(m)及び第1比較信号D(m)は、図2及び図3で示された何れか一方の方法で算出され、第2物理量Ek(m)及び第2比較信号E(m)は、図2及び図3で示された何れか他方の方法で算出されてもよい。
さらに、第1物理量Dk(m)、第1比較信号D(m)、第2物理量Ek(m)及び第2比較信号E(m)は、図2及び図3で示された方法とは異なる方法を用いて算出されてもよい。
算出部105における上記の処理は、下記の(4)式で示すことができる。
算出部105における上記の処理は、下記の(5)式で示すことができる。但し、H1(m)はN個の第2物理量Ek(m)の調和平均である。
算出部105における上記の処理は、下記の(6)式で示すことができる。但し、selmin{ }は括弧内に含まれる数値から選択されたi個の数値の最小値を意味する。また、H2(m)はN個から選択されたi個の第2物理量Ek(m)の調和平均である。
そして、算出部105は、算出された加重係数W(m)を更新部106に与える。
ABS{Sk(m+1)}=α(m) :(8)
∠{Sk(m+1)}=∠{Sk(m)}-β(m) :(9)
以上のような更新を行うことにより、参照信号Z(m)として選択された基準素信号S1(m)を更新した、更新済みの基準素信号S1(m+1)の信号点は、基準素信号S1(m)の信号点と、遅延信号X(m)の信号点との間に配置される。そして、加重係数W(m)の値が大きいほど、遅延信号X(m)の信頼度が高いことになるため、更新済みの基準素信号S1(m+1)の信号点は、遅延信号X(m)に近い位置に配置される。
図6は、実施の形態2に係る差動復調装置200の構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。図示するように、差動復調装置200は、差動復調部101と、遅延部202と、比較部103と、選択部204と、算出部105と、更新部206とを備える。実施の形態2に係る差動復調装置200は、遅延部202、選択部204及び更新部206での処理において、実施の形態1に係る差動復調装置100と異なっている。
Z(m)=Sc(m) (F(m)≦R1) :(10)
Z(m)=X(m) (F(m)>R1) :(11)
図7は、実施の形態3に係る差動復調装置300の構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。図示するように、差動復調装置300は、差動復調部101と、遅延部102と、比較部103と、選択部304と、算出部105と、更新部306とを備える。実施の形態3に係る差動復調装置300は、選択部304及び更新部306での処理において、実施の形態1に係る差動復調装置100と異なっている。
また、選択部304は、参照信号Z(m)の大きさを示す更新制御信号G(m)を、更新部306に与える。例えば、選択部304は、参照信号Z(m)の振幅又は電力の値を示す更新制御信号G(m)を生成し、この更新制御信号G(m)を更新部306に与える。但し、参照信号Z(m)の大きさはこれらに限られるものではない。
G(m)=|Z(m)|2 :(12)
なお、更新制御信号G(m)の算出方法は、上記以外のものであってもよい。
ABS{Sk(m+1)}=α(m) (G(m)≦R2) :(13)
∠{Sk(m+1)}=∠{Sk(m)}-β(m) (G(m)≦R2) :(14)
ABS{Sk(m+1)}=ABS{Sk(m)} (G(m)>R2) :(15)
∠{Sk(m+1)}=∠{Sk(m)} (G(m)>R2) :(16)
但し、更新制御信号G(m)を参照する方法であれば、基準信号S(m)の更新の停止又は再開を行う方法は、上記に限られるものではない。また、更新制御信号G(m)を参照して基準信号S(m)の更新を制御する方法であれば、その制御内容は、更新の停止及び再開ではなくてもよい。
図8は、実施の形態4に係る差動復調装置400の構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。図示するように、差動復調装置400は、差動復調部101と、遅延部402と、比較部103と、選択部404と、算出部105と、更新部406とを備える。実施の形態4に係る差動復調装置400は、遅延部402、選択部404及び更新部406での処理において、実施の形態1に係る差動復調装置100と異なっている。
但し、更新制御信号G(m)を参照する方法であれば、基準信号S(m)の更新の停止又は再開を行う方法は、上記に限られるものではない。また、更新制御信号G(m)を参照して基準信号S(m)の更新を制御する方法であれば、当該制御内容は、更新の停止及び再開と異なるものであってもよい。
