An implementation method of digital RF modulation based on wideband reconfigurable channel

In order to improve the capability of avionics system under limited size,weight and power,this paper proposes a design method of wideband reconfigurable digital radio frequency(RF) modulation,in which the digitalization is pushed to the antenna interface unit so that both the baseband and up-conversion are realized through digital signal processing.First,three transmission architectures are comparatively analyzed.Then the wideband reconfigurable transmitter framework is proposed based on the digital RF modulation transmission channel architecture.Key techniques such as N-time harmonic modulation technique,poly-phase down-sampling technique,and optimal local oscillator selection method are adopted to solve the problems in the implementation process.The results indicate that this design has better performance than traditional method.The magnitude error of RF transmitting signal is only 1.7%RMS(Percent Root Mean Square),phase error less than 1°,error vector magnitude(EVM) 2.345%RMS,and wider span of clean spectrum is achieved.
