RFI Mitigation and Discrete Digital Signal Processing RFSoC Algorithm Implementations for Radio Astronomy and Wideband Communication Systems

Ward, Devon Christopher 28 March 2024 (has links) (PDF)
Due to the massive increase of active transmitters broadcasting over wideband frequencies, such as 5G wireless systems, LEO/MEO satellites, satellite constellations, and the increase of IoT devices in the average home, the radio frequency spectrum is becoming more and more congested by interference. Passive receivers face additional challenges due to the growing use of wideband frequency transmissions aimed at boosting communication system throughput. As a result, passive receivers must adopt more robust and intricate techniques to mitigate radio frequency interference. A proposed RFI removal system, known as the true time delay Hadamard projection algorithm, has been introduced in previous work to eliminate a single RFI source while preserving a narrowband signal of interest. An RF frontend is developed to assess the effectiveness of the Hadamard projection algorithm implemented on an RFSoC ZCU216. Additionally, the TTD Hadamard projection algorithm is expanded to enable the cancellation of multiple RFI sources rather than just a single source for a uniform linear array and a uniform rectangular array. Over-the-air tests are conducted to verify the performance of the interference cancellation algorithms and demonstrate the algorithms' ability to preserve the signals of interest while removing the wideband interference. Multiple algorithms are proposed to estimate the time delays used by the interference cancellation algorithm to effectively eliminate wideband interference. These algorithms address diverse scenarios encompassing interference sources ranging from strong to weak SNR. Detailed reports of algorithm performance provide insights into their effectiveness and suitability across specific interference conditions.
