Abstract

This paper presents the design of a QPSK/16-QAM downstreams receiver chip. The proposed chip consists of a blind equalizer, a timing recovery block and a carrier recovery block. The blind equalizer uses a DFE sturucture using CMA(Constant Module Algorithm). The symbol timing recovery uses the modified parabolic interpolator. The decision-directed carrier recovery is used to remove the carrier frequency offset, phase offset and phase jitter. The implemented LMDS receiver can support four data rates, 10, 20, 30 and 40 Mbps and can accommodate the symbol rate up to 10 Mbaud. This symbol rate is faster than existing QAM receivers.

본 논문에서는 QPSK/16-QAM 방식의 LMDS(Local Multipoint Distribution Services) 용 downstream 수신기 칩 설계에 대해서 기술한다. 제안된 칩은 블라인드 등화기, 심볼 타이밍 복구회로, 반송파 복구회로로 구성된다. 블라인드 등화기는 CMA(Constant Module Algorithm)를 이용한 DFE(Decision Feedback Equalizer) 구조로 사용했다. 심볼 타이밍 복구회로는 Parabolic Interpolator를 이용하였고 반송파 복구회로는 Decision Directed Basis 방식을 이용하여 반송파의 주파수 옵셋, 위상 옵셋, 위상지터(Jitter)를 제거하였다. 구현된 수신기는 10, 20, 30 그리고 40 Mbps 의 4가지 데이터 전송률을 지원할 수 있고 심볼 전송률은 10 Mbaud까지 지원할 수 있으며 기존의QAM 수신기보다 빠른 구조이다.
