Abstract

In order to resolve problems with the phase error in QPSK demodulator of the digital satellite broadcasting systems, the demodulator requires carrier recovery loop which searches for the frequency and phase of the carrier. In this paper the complexity of implementation is reduced by the reduction into half of the number of the multiplier in Inter structure of the conventional carrier recovery loop, and as the drawback of NCO of the conventional carrier recovery loop wastes a amount of power for the structure of lookup table, We designed the structure of combinational logic without the lookup table. In the comparison with dynamic power of the proposed NCO, the power of NCO with the lookup table is $175{\mu}W$, NCO with the proposed structure is $24.65{\mu}W$. As the result, it is recognized that about one eight of loss power is reduced. In the simulation of carrier recovery loop designed QPSK demodulator, it is known that the carrier phase is compensated.

디지털 위성방송의 복조단에서 사용되고 있는 동기 검파 방식의 QPSK복조기에서 복소 신호의 전송시 송신단과 수신단 사이의 반송파 위상이 동기 되지 않아서 위상차 ${\theta}$가 발생하면 복조된 심볼은 원래 전송 신호에 $e^{j{\theta}}$가 곱해진 형태로 변하게 된다. 이러한 복조기의 성능은 연산처리 비트수가 증가할수록 향상되는 반면 하드웨어의 복잡도가 증가하므로 복잡도와 시스템의 성능을 동시에 고려하여 비트수를 결정하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 곱셈기 수를 줄임으로써 구현상의 복잡도를 감소시키고, lookup table을 사용하지 않는 조합 회로 구조로 설계하여 전력소모를 줄일 수 있었다.
