Abstract

Approach based on the use of software and hardware systems due to research of the power amplifier with separated modulated waves gain (SGPA) is presented in this work. It allows a high-specific analysis of specific problems for this scheme, which lead to the transmitted signal distortions. Hardware SGPA model contains exciter, that forming RF phasemodulated component, its power amplifier working in key mode (RF path), amplifier of envelope signal (low-frequency chain), receiver’s chain demodulator. Software provides forming and displaying of test signals as separate high-frequency phase modulated and lowfrequency (envelope) components; modeling parts of SGPA; parameters analysis of output RF signal from hardware transmitter model. Such test signals as unmodulated carrier signal, two-tone signal with equal amplitudes, AM signal modulated with test-tone, AM signal modulated with speech-like signal, digital OFDM signal DRM broadcasting standard are applying. Such specific reasons of signal distortion as amplitude saturation of low-frequency signal at envelope chain, zero shift of envelope, band limitation of low frequency chain, delay difference between signal passing in RF and low-frequency chains, amplitude-phase conversion in phase-modulated chain can be researched by using of this complex.

Abstract

In this paper result of one loop wideband SHF PLL frequency synthesizers implementation with low phase noise of output signal in required frequency band was offered. The obtained characteristics were achieved by the use of special method: structural and parametric syntheses on the basis of linear optimal Wiener filtration. Results of scientific research formed the basis of high performance frequency synthesizer.

Abstract

A program complex for vector generating and analysis of signals that are used at modern and advanced communication systems and broadcasting, separate functional units, testing of radio frequency blocks and whole devices, is presented. Creating signals with different modulation types, packetized signals of mobile telecommunication systems and signals with different impairments, such as noise of the waveform shaping reference signal chains, DC-offset, I/Q-imbalance, frequency deviation allows by this complex. Different types of shaping filters are also can be used. Vector signal analysis program allows a comprehensive signal analysis, calculation of different parameters and characteristics. Various types of signal displaying, such as signal constellation, vector diagram, time representation, amplitude or phase spectrum etc. can be chosen. Complex supports automatic detection of modulation type, decision point due to demodulating of signals, as well as compensation of some modulated signals non-idealities like DC-offset, frequency and phase errors, displaying of impairments sizes after compensation. The output interface allows plotting of Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) time curves and Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF).

Abstract

The report presents a digital frequency synthesizer which is designed according to the indirect synthesis method and makes it possible to carry out frequency modulation of the output high-frequency signal over a wide range of modulating frequencies, phase-lock control of the central frequency and its discrete readjustment with the automatic-frequency control function being preserved.
