In the process of signal transmission, be not that signal is directly transmitted, but the ripple of a signal and a fixed frequency interacted that this process is called loading.The ripple of described fixed frequency is called carrier wave.Concrete, in the present embodiment, parametric acoustic array audio playback systems 10 is provided with a carrier frequency fc=48KHz, it is ADSP 21364EZKIT Digital Signal Processing evaluation board that fast modulation device 1 is selected model for use, it can conveniently use digital signal processor (the Digital Signal Processor of other model, be called for short DSP), around it, increase other auxiliary equipment, thereby form the synthetic circuit that can finish certain task.Because it is signal processing apparatus 4 that this device is provided with the floating type digital signal processor, its computing is accurately convenient, and it has comprised stereo RCA interface is that receiving system 1, AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter are that analog-digital commutator 3, DAI digital audio interface are output device 5, also bear the audio frequency input function and the AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter of the fast modulation device 1 among the present invention is an analog-digital commutator 3, the DAI digital audio interface is that output device 5 is also born pulse input interface function.Certainly, signal processing apparatus 4 is not limited only to this, also can be field programmable gate array (Field-Programmable Gate Array is called for short FPGA) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (ApplicationSpecific Integrated Circuit, be called for short ASIC) etc., but its principle is the same.
Output device 5 links to each other with digital power amplifier 6.The ultrasonic transducer battle array 7 that digital power amplifier 6 is connected to.Carrier frequency fc is made as 48kHz.In fact, carrier frequency fc generally can be 20KHz-80KHz as long as in the operating frequency range of ultrasonic transducer 7.Carrier frequency fc=48KHz be set in the present embodiment be because AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter be analog-digital commutator 3 can be with the 48KHZ frequency sampling and it goes without doing that other is handled, the rapidity of favourable sampling.And the sample frequency of AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter can be made as 48KHz, 96KHz and 192KHz.AB power-like amplifier efficient commonly used is not high, 6 characteristics with high efficiency of the digital power amplifier of selecting for use in the present embodiment.
Signal processing apparatus 4 has used the pulse-width modulation method processing signals in the amplitude modulation approach.Concrete, pulse width modulation is divided into single pulse width modulation, multiple-pulse width modulated, sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM), the modulation of harmonic wave technology for eliminating etc.Present embodiment is selected the single pulse width modulation for use, and the single pulse width modulation is that a pulse was only arranged in the half period, and the width that changes pulse is adjusted the amplitude of modulated signals correspondence.The advantage of single pulse width modulation is that switching loss is little, and modulation is simple, and shortcoming is that the harmonic distortion of carrier wave is bigger.But in parametric array was used, the frequency response of ultrasonic transducer battle array 7 had the logical effect of band, and digital power amplifier 6 includes low-pass filtering module, and logical effect of band and low-pass filtering module make the harmonic wave of carrier wave by the greatly inhibition of degree.
The present invention also provides a kind of modulator approach based on parametric acoustic array audio playback systems 10 of the present invention, and wherein, this modulator approach comprises the steps:
(1) provide one to be used to the fast modulation device 1 that receives audio analog signals and convert thereof into high-frequency pulse signal, specifically be that model is an ADSP 21364EZKIT Digital Signal Processing evaluation board, comprise: the stereo RCA interface that is used to gather audio analog signals is a receiving system 2, the AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter that described audio analog signals is converted to audio digital signals s (t) is an analog-digital commutator 3, described audio digital signals s (t) is modulated into the signal processing apparatus 4 of high-frequency pulse signal and is output device 5 the DAI digital audio interface of described high-frequency pulse signal output
One digital power amplifier 6 is provided;
One ultrasonic transducer battle array 7 is provided;
One carrier wave is provided;
(2) A, be transferred to described analog-digital commutator after gathering audio analog signals and it is loaded into described carrier wave by receiving system 2.With the MP3 player is that audio-source produces audio analog signals, and other loud speaker etc. is all feasible certainly, is that receiving system 2 is gathered audio analog signals and it is transferred to analog-digital commutator 3 by stereo RCA interface.
B, analog-digital commutator 3 is provided with the frequency identical with carrier wave as sample frequency, carrier frequency is made as fc=48KHz in the present embodiment.Audio analog signals is that AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter is handled through analog-digital commutator 3, and sampling with the sample frequency of 48KHz obtains audio digital signals s (t) and this audio digital signals s (t) is transferred to signal processing apparatus 4.Certainly, AD1835 audio frequency analog to digital converter is that the sample frequency of analog-digital commutator 3 can also be made as 96KHz and 192KHz etc.The sample frequency that analog-digital commutator 3 is set in the present embodiment is the same with carrier frequency, other processing that this just makes that it goes without doing when audio digital signals s (t) and carrier wave loaded, thus the processing speed of parametric acoustic array audio playback systems of the present invention can be accelerated.Certainly, carrier frequency also can be made as other value, but its principle is the same.
The described audio digital signals s (t) that C, signal processing apparatus 4 will receive calculates its pulse duration and pulse spacing by pulse-width modulation method, utilize pulse width modulation to realize the amplitude modulation(PAM) of pulse according to the momentum area equivalent principle of burst pulse again, thereby obtain the high-frequency pulse signal of corresponding amplitude, and described high-frequency pulse signal is exported to described digital power amplifier 6 by described output device 5.
D, high-frequency pulse signal obtain ultrasonic signal and drive the drive signal of ultrasonic transducer battle array 7 work after the processing and amplifying of described digital power amplifier 6 gets, ultrasonic signal just obtains ultrasonic wave through the processing of ultrasonic transducer battle array 7, and ultrasonic wave is demodulated to sound for hearing certainly through air.
Signal processing apparatus 4 is digital signal processor (Digital Signal Processor in the present embodiment, be called for short DSP), also can be field programmable gate array Field-Programmable Gate Array in fact, be called for short FPGA) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, be called for short ASIC) etc., but its principle is all the same.
Modulator approach is selected the wide modulation of the simple venation in the pulse-width modulation for use, promptly audio digital signals s (t) is done the high-frequency pulse signal that the single pulse width modulation obtains.The cycle of high-frequency pulse signal is predetermined, and its pulse duration and pulse spacing are that the size according to audio digital signals s (t) calculates.Concrete, the audio digital signals s (t) that makes described signal processing apparatus 4 receive satisfies-1≤s (t)≤1, and t is arbitrary moment.In order to prevent ovennodulation, need digital audio and video signals s (t) is added direct current biasing d, thereby obtain modulation signal g (t), make modulation signal g (t) all the time greater than 0.
g(t)=d+m·s(t),m≤d (1)
Wherein, d is that direct current is worth partially, and m is the index of modulation.
G (t) is a modulation signal, obtains after doing particular procedure by audio digital signals s (t), as the index of modulation of adjusting audio digital signals and the direct current that increases audio digital signals value etc. partially.
In the present embodiment, because 0<g (t)<1 in order to make full use of the dynamic range of g (t), at first increases direct current biasing d, its value is made as g (t)/2, and promptly 0.5; Superposed signal s (t) on direct current biasing d again.Because-1≤s (t)≤1, its dynamic range is excessive, need multiply by index of modulation m, feasible-1≤d+ms (t)≤1, and (d 1-d), so can obtain m<0.5 when d=0.5, establishes m=0.4 to m<min in the present embodiment.Certainly, direct current biasing d and index of modulation m also can be made as other value, all are feasible as long as meet the demands, but its principle is the same.By obtaining behind formula (1) the substitution occurrence:
g(t)=0.5+0.4·s(t)
The expression formula of ultrasonic signal c (t) behind the amplitude modulation(PAM) that expectation obtains is:
c(t)=g(t)·sin(2π·f
c·t)
Wherein, f
cBe the frequency of ultrasonic signal, t is arbitrary time.
As shown in Figure 2, the ultrasonic signal c (t) after modulation is that a frequency is f
c=48KHz, the sinusoidal signal that amplitude changes.For each cycle of ultrasonic signal c (t), amplitude is that first positive cycle is g (t)/2 with a duty ratio, goes match on the occasion of the positive pulse that symmetry axis was located in 1/4 cycle; Amplitude is g (t)/2 for second negative cycle with a duty ratio, and the negative value symmetry axis goes match in the negative pulse at 3/4 cycle place.Wherein, the wave function p (t) of positive pulse
+Can calculate by following formula:
Wherein, T
cBe Cycle Length, T
c=1/f
c, n=0,1,2,3 ....
According to the symmetry of signal, the wave function p (t) of negative pulse _ can need not calculates, and is anti-phase and postpone 1/2 cycle and obtain by positive pulse.
According to above-mentioned principle as can be known, described audio digital signals s (t)) after described digital signal processing device modulation, obtains high-frequency pulse signal p (t), resulting high-frequency pulse signal p (t) is three level pulse signals, it also is quasi-periodic signal, its signal amplitude is represented with-1,0,1, then can draw the high-frequency pulse signal p expression formula in (t) arbitrary cycle:
Wherein, t is arbitrary time, T
cBe Cycle Length, T
c=1/f
c, f
c=48KHz, g (t) is a modulation signal, n=0,1,2,3 ....
More excellent, may there be the intermodulation distortion between frequency spectrum in the parametric acoustic array system that pulse-width modulation realizes, and therefore, the modulator approach of parametric acoustic array audio playback systems of the present invention also is provided with the modification method to the intermodulation distortion between frequency spectrum.Concrete, audio digital signals s (t) is done preliminary treatment, described preliminary treatment comprises that the index of modulation of adjusting audio digital signals and the direct current that increases described audio digital signals are worth partially, thereby obtains modulation signal g (t).To the bandwidth of described modulation signal g (t) expand after obtaining handling expansion modulation signal g ' (t).
Method by such spread bandwidth carries out compensating to the intermodulation distortion between the audio digital signals frequency spectrum gradually, and then reduces the distortion spectrum of audio digital signals, improves parametric acoustic array audio playback systems modulation accuracy.
Present embodiment also provides the method for the intermodulation distortion between another kind of correction frequency spectrum, promptly described audio digital signals s (t) is done 90 ° of phase shifts, thereby obtains first audio digital signals and second audio digital signals.Certainly be not limited only to 90 °, but principle is the same.Making described first audio digital signals and second audio digital signals do pulse width modulation by described signal processing apparatus respectively again handles, and then obtain first high-frequency pulse signal and second high-frequency pulse signal, with described first high-frequency pulse signal and the second high-frequency pulse signal addition or subtract each other, obtain revised high-frequency pulse signal, revised high-frequency pulse signal has only the upper sideband or the lower sideband of double-side band, and then has avoided the intermodulation distortion of upper sideband and lower sideband.
Compare with correlation technique, parametric acoustic array audio playback systems of the present invention and using method thereof are according to the fixed-frequency and the signal symmetry of carrier signal in the parametric acoustic array audio playback systems, directly accurately calculate each pulse duration and the interval of pulse width modulated waveform by mathematical relationship, the precision and the formation speed of pulse have greatly been improved, thereby make that the modulating speed of parametric acoustic array audio playback systems of the present invention and modulator approach thereof is faster, precision is higher, more can satisfy user demand.
