Abstract

In this paper, we developed an intelligent and wideband RF-receiver module to represent a high dynamic range and good linearity characteristics up to 650MHz-2700MHz frequency band. and implemented an intelligent digital-RF- distorted signal measuring system for the RF distortion (intermodulation) signals. Broadband RF-receive module was designed to represent the optimized linear parameters of the receiver to meet the low noise and wide dynamic range. The designed intelligent digital-distortion(intermodulation) signal measument system measured by applying the 1MHz IF of third intermodulation signal of DUT and Measured data was recorded by program on the PC monitor with GUI interface. By variable up to 650MHz-2700MHz measured data showed up to -127.8dBc to -138dBc of the distortion (intermodulation) signal. And developed intelligent digital- distortion signal measurement system can be used to measure intermodulation distortion signal of wireless system widely.

본 논문에서는 650MHz에서 2,700MHz의 주파수 대역에서 우수한 동적영역과 선형성 특성을 나타내는 RF-수신기를 설계하고, 왜곡신호(누설 또는 혼변조)를 측정할 수 있는 지능형, 광대역 RF-왜곡신호 계측시스템을 구현하였다. 광대역 특성의 RF-수신모듈은 저 잡음특성과 동적영역 관계를 분석하여 RF수신단의 선형화 파라미터를 최적화시켰다. 지능형 디지털-왜곡(혼변조) 측정시스템에서는 측정하려는 왜곡(혼변조)신호를 PC상의 GUI 로 처리하여 원하는 계측파라미터를 PC 모니터에 나타내었다. 설계된 계측장치를 650MHz-2700MHz 까지 가변시켜 왜곡신호를 측정한 결과, -127.8dBc에서 -138dBc까지 나타내어 지능형 디지털 계측기로 이용될 수 있음을 보였다.
