Design and implementation of an ETSI-SDR OFDM transmitter with power amplifier linearizer

Julius, Suranjana 17 September 2010
Satellite radio has attained great popularity because of its wide range of geographical coverage and high signal quality as compared to the terrestrial broadcasts. Most Satellite Digital Radio (SDR) based systems favor multi-carrier transmission schemes, especially, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission because of high data transfer rate and spectral efficiency. It is a challenging task to find a suitable platform that supports fast data rates and superior processing capabilities required for the development and deployment of the new SDR standards. Field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices have the potential to become suitable development platform for such standards. Another challenging factor in SDR systems is the distortion of variable envelope signals used in OFDM transmission by the nonlinear RF power amplifiers (PA) used in the base station transmitters. An attractive option is to use a linearizer that would compensate for the nonlinear effects of the PA. In this research, an OFDM transmitter, according to European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) SDR Technical Specifications 2007-2008, was designed and implemented on a low-cost Xilinx FPGA platform. A weakly nonlinear PA, operating in the L-band SDR frequency (1.450-1.490GHz), was used for signal transmission. An FPGA-based, low-cost, adaptive linearizer was designed and implemented based on the digital predistortion (DPD) reference design from Xilinx, to correct the distortion effects of the PA on the transmitted signal.

Étude de l'emploi du signal XM comme source d'opportunité d'un système non coopératif pour la détection passive cohérente

Gill, Louis-Philippe. 17 April 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse présente l'étude de l'utilisation du signal XM comme source d'opportunité d'un système radar de détection passive cohérente. Par la réception simultanée d'un écho radar et du signal direct, une mesure de la corrélation est possible afin d'extraire de la détection les paramètres de la cible. Tout d'abord, une étude de la résolution qu'offre le signal employé et un bilan de puissance sont réalisés desquels deux principaux problèmes sont identifiés : l'effet hautement interféreur du signal direct sur un écho potentiel et la faiblesse de la puissance de cet écho provenant de la réflexion du signal sur une cible caractéristique. La méthode des sous-espaces, en utilisant une antenne-réseau à la réception, est proposée pour supprimer le signal direct par la projection dans son sous-espace orthogonal. Pour pallier le problème de la faiblesse de la puissance de l'écho, un gain directif est aussi proposé par l'utilisation d'un réseau à chevauchement d'éléments permettant d'obtenir ce gain tout en gardant une résolution nécessaire à la méthode des sous-espaces. Le choix du nombre de sous-réseaux employé est ensuite optimisé pour un gain maximal tout en évitant la présence de points nuls pour certaines valeurs de sous-réseaux engendrant la présence du signal direct malgré l'opération visant sa suppression. L'impact de l'estimation de la soustraction de la matrice de covariance du bruit est aussi étudié. Le système de détection intégré est ensuite présenté pour la détection de la cible caractéristique afin d:en vérifier l'efficacité.
