Abstract:

Aiming at the navigation signal nonlinear distortion problem caused by the high amplifier and filter of the signal transmitting channel to the BeiDou satellite, a digital pre-distortion with indirect learning structure to compensate for the nonlinear distortion generated by the navigation signal is proposed. The effectiveness and feasibility of digital pre-distortion in compensating the nonlinear distortion of navigation signals is verified by using the BeiDou B2 signal modulated by asymmetric constant envelope binary offset carrier (ACE-BOC) with the largest bandwidth, and the signals before and after digital pre-distortion processing are compared and analyzed from several aspects, such as modulation constellations, power spectra, correlation functions, and S-curve bias. Experiment results show that the digital pre-distortion can effectively suppress the out-of-band power loss of 20 dB, the correlation loss can be reduced from 0.7 dB to 0.009 dB and the S-curve bias can be reduced from 0.88 ns to 0.002 9 ns. The proposed digital predistortion model can effectively improve the nonlinear distortion caused by the signal transmission channel.
