Abstract:

For the demand of high efficiency real phase extraction of phase calibration (PCAL) signals in antenna array equipment links, a real phase extraction method of PCAL signals using optimized fast Fourier transform (FFT) resolution is firstly proposed. In order to further improve the computational efficiency, the proposed method is combined with the deep computing unit (DCU) parallel computing technology to propose a parallel extraction method for the real phase of PCAL signal, and a real-time PCAL signal phase extraction system based on parallel computing is designed and realized. The experimental verification of the above improved method and real-time system is carried out, and a large number of experimental results show that the optimized FFT resolution method can achieve about three times of the acceleration ratio compared with the traditional FFT method. After the introduction of parallel computing, the acceleration ratio is further improved by nearly one order of magnitude, and the real-time extraction system of the phase of PCAL signals based on parallel computing can realize the real-time extraction of the phase of PCAL signals with the effective bandwidths of 2.2 GHz and below, the signal interval of 1 MHz, and the quantization number of 8 bit. In addition, the designed real-time system is also applicable to the link calibration of other frequency variation equipment.
