Interference elimination device suitable for broadband receiver
Technical Field
The invention relates to an interference elimination device suitable for a broadband receiver, and belongs to the technical field of wireless communication.
Background
Currently, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can provide higher and higher instantaneous bandwidths, enabling their use in wideband digital receivers in the wireless communications field. Because the input voltage range of the high-speed ADC is relatively small, if the signal input to the high-speed ADC contains an interference component, the available dynamic range is further reduced, and in severe cases, the input of the ADC is even saturated, so that the wideband digital receiver cannot work normally. Therefore, wideband digital receivers are more susceptible to in-band interference than conventional narrowband receivers. Furthermore, since the interference frequency and the amount of interference in the wideband signal are often not fixed, it is difficult to filter the interference using a specific filter.

The invention aims to solve the technical problem that the ADC of a broadband digital receiver is saturated easily due to in-band interference in a broadband radio frequency signal, so that the ADC cannot work normally, and creatively provides an interference elimination device suitable for the broadband receiver.
The device belongs to an active interference elimination device, and can perform self-adaptive interference cancellation on radio frequency signals received by a broadband receiver, avoid the broadband receiver from being blocked by in-band interference, and enable the broadband receiver to obtain a larger dynamic range.
The invention aims at realizing the following technical scheme:
An interference elimination device suitable for a broadband receiver comprises a first power divider, a second power divider, a filter, an analog-to-digital converter ADC, a signal processing unit, a digital-to-analog converter DAC and a combiner.
Wherein the filter is composed of a plurality of narrowband band-pass filters with different frequency bands, and the filters can cover the whole broadband signal.
The device receives an external broadband radio frequency signal through a receiving antenna.
The first power divider divides the received broadband radio frequency signal into two paths, one path is used as a reference signal for generating a cancellation signal, and the other path is used as a pre-cancellation receiving signal.
The second power divider subdivides the reference signal into multiple paths, which are respectively supplied to the input terminals of the respective filters.
Each filter converts the broadband radio frequency signal into a narrowband radio frequency signal and sends the narrowband radio frequency signal to a corresponding ADC (analog to digital converter);
the ADC converts the narrowband radio frequency signal into a digital signal and sends the digital signal to the signal processing unit;
the signal processing unit processes the digital signal to generate a digital signal which is opposite to the interference signal and sends the digital signal to the DAC;
the DAC converts the digital signal which is opposite to the interference signal into a radio frequency offset signal which is opposite to the interference signal, and sends the radio frequency offset signal to the combiner;
the combiner adds the radio frequency offset signal and the pre-cancellation received signal, and the interference signal contained in the pre-cancellation received signal is offset in an opposite phase to obtain an interference offset received signal.

Detailed Description
The summary is further illustrated in the drawings and examples below.
Examples
As shown in fig. 1, an interference cancellation device 200 suitable for a wideband receiver includes a first power divider 201, a second power divider 202, a filter 203, an adc204, a signal processing unit 205, an dac206, and a combiner 207.
Wherein the input of the first power divider 201 is connected to the receiving antenna 100. The output of the first power divider 201 is connected to the input of the second power divider 202 and the input of the combiner 207, respectively. An output of the second power divider 202 is connected to an input of each filter 203, an output of the filter 203 is connected to an input of a corresponding ADC204, and an output of the ADC204 is connected to an input of the signal processing unit 205. An output of the signal processing unit 205 is connected to an input of the DAC 206. An output of DAC206 is connected to an input of combiner 207. The output of the combiner 207 is connected to an external receiver.
The working method of the device is as follows:
The first power divider 201 divides the broadband radio frequency signal received by the receiving antenna 100 into two paths, one path is used for generating a reference signal for the cancellation signal, and the other path is used as a pre-cancellation receiving signal, and the components of the two paths are identical.
The reference signal is passed through a second power divider 202 and then fed into a filter 203, where it is divided into multiple narrowband radio frequency signals. The multipath narrowband radio frequency signals are converted into digital signals through the ADC204, and the digital signals are sent to the signal processing unit 205 for processing, so that interference signal components are detected. The signal processing unit 205 then generates a corresponding digital inverted cancellation signal, which is converted to a radio frequency cancellation signal by the DAC 206. The rf cancellation signal is provided to a combiner 207 for combining with the pre-cancellation receive signal. The interference component contained in the pre-cancellation received signal is added and cancelled by the cancellation signal, and the cancelled useful signal is obtained and sent to the receiver.
Further, the wideband radio frequency signal R (t) received by the receiving antenna 100 is split into two paths of reference signal and pre-cancellation received signal by the first power splitter 201, and the two paths of signals have the same component and are denoted as R (t). Wherein r (t) contains a useful signal component u (t) and an interfering signal component X (t), r (t) =u (t) +x (t). The reference signal r (t) is further equally divided into several paths of signals r' (t) of identical composition via the second power divider 202. r' (t) is filtered into a narrowband radio frequency signal by a filter 203 with different frequency bands, and sent to an ADC204. The ADC204 converts the narrowband radio frequency signal into a digital signal, and sends it to the signal processing unit 205. The signal processing unit 205 performs interference component detection on each path of narrowband signal, generates a corresponding digital inverted cancellation signal, and converts the digital inverted cancellation signal into a radio frequency cancellation signal c (t) through the DAC206, that is, c (t) = -X (t).
The rf cancellation signal c (t) is combined with the pre-cancellation received signal r (t) in the combiner 207, and the interference cancelled signal y (t) is obtained from the output end of the combiner 207:
y(t)=r(t)+c(t)=u(t)+X(t)-X(t)=u(t)
