Abstract

We present the design of a wideband digital modem based on non-maximally decimated filter bank (NMDFB) with perfect reconstruction (PR) property. The PR-NMDFB contains an analysis filter bank (AFB) and a synthesis filter bank (SFB) whose efficient polyphase forms are named as polyphase analysis channelizer (PAC) and polyphase synthesis channelizer (PSC). The waveform being processed is the legacy square root Nyquist-shaped quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). In contrast to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the shaped QAM transmission has much superior performance properties in throughput, peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), and synchronization. We will show the PR-NMDFB is capable of efficiently performing several key tasks of a digital receiver with dramatic workload reduction. This includes digital filtering, carrier recovery, and symbol timing recovery. Moreover, the nature of NMDFB allows the signal processing to operate a significantly reduced sample rate, which is a desired characteristic for replacing current FIR implementation in wideband systems.

Highlights

  • The wireless technology has experienced significant growth in the past decades; and we have seen generations of wireless communication systems increasing their bandwidth and data rates by more than an order of magnitude per generation

  • The legacy receivers often require building several time offset overlapped finite impulse response (FIR) filters operating in parallel to perform synchronization, matched filtering, as well as channel equalization

  • The implementation of filter bank single-carrier (FBSC) can be viewed using FB to perform digital filtering in the channelizer domain; filtering is achieved by altering the gain and phase over each spectral span presented at analysis filter bank (AFB) outputs

Summary

Introduction

The wireless technology has experienced significant growth in the past decades; and we have seen generations of wireless communication systems increasing their bandwidth and data rates by more than an order of magnitude per generation. These signal processing tasks are traditionally implemented by separate filters in the time domain, and we will show that they can be implemented in the FB-transformed domain as independent intermediate processing elements (IPEs). The organization of this paper is as follows: Section 2 introduces the PR-NMDFB and its filtering property, Section 3 presents the carrier frequency recovery technique, Section 4 solves the symbol time recovery problem, Section 5 performs the complexity analysis, Section 6 presents the simulation results, and Section 7 draws the conclusion
