Abstract

A Nyquist folding receiver (NYFR) is a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver architecture, which can realise a wideband receiving with fewer components. Intercepted by the NYFR with a sinusoidal frequency modulation (SFM) local oscillator, a linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal will be converted into a LFM/SFM hybrid modulated signal. To simplify the processing of this kind of complicated signal, the authors propose improved dual-channel NYFR architecture with an efficient parameter estimation algorithm. Compared with the existing parameter estimation methods for the NYFR, the proposed architecture offers better estimation performance, higher signal type adaptability, and simpler operation.
