Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the design of the Digital Down Converters for the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN receiver, which can be used for the customized receiver. The customized receiver can be used for special puropsed services which cannot be realized using the general custom chip. In the OFDM receiver, DDC receives the up sampled Inphase/Quadrature signal from the AD converter and process down sampling and filtering procedures using the Cascaded Intergrator Filter and FIR filters. We discuss the structure and design methodology of DDC's and analyze the simulation results.

본 연구에서는 IEEE 802.11 OFDM 수신기에 적용하기 위한 DDC(Digital Down Converter) 설계 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 상용화 칩으로는 구현이 어려운 WiFi 응용서비스의 요구사항을 만족하기 위해서는 적절한 수신기 개발이 필요하다. OFDM 수신기에서 DDC는 AD 컨버터로부터 업 샘플링된 I/Q(Inphase/Quadrature) 신호를 수신하여 decimation을 위한 신호를 만들기 위해 CIC(Cascaded Integrator Comb) 필터블럭을 거쳐 다운 샘플링한 후 다시 이 신호를 보정하기 위한 FIR(Finite Impulse Response) 필터를 거쳐 출력하는 구조이다. 본 연구에서는 WLAN 규격에 적합한 DDC의 구조 및 설계방법 그리고 설계된 결과물의 시뮬레이션 결과에 대하여 분석하였다.
