Digital modulation signals has become the important foundation stone of information-intensive society, is the main carriers of communication.Most typical is exactly application in radio communication and radio data system, and such as the GMSK signal that second generation mobile communication system is used, the cellphone subscriber's number based on this signal surpasses 1,000,000,000 in the whole world, and relevant metered quantity is also quite huge.
The main parameters of weighing digital modulation signals modulation error has: error vector magnitude (EVM), phase error (Phase Err) etc.The same with all physical quantitys, these values also must through credible, can trace to the source, metering accurately, guarantee value accurately, unified, the normal operation of guarantee information system.But due to technology and theory, the traced to the source metering of Digital Modulation parameter is a worldwide difficult problem at present, can trace to the source, believable method and apparatus is not all set up always.
With regard to digital modulation signals, main gage work concentrates on the calibration aspect of digital modulation signal generator (VSG) and VSA (VSA).And as test instrumentation, remove other modulation-demodulation devices in test production, scientific research through VSG and the VSA of calibration.
Although the gage work of the digital modulation and demodulation error parameter that VSG is relevant with VSA is being carried out always,, still there is two large problems in the basic demand according to metering:
One, be difficult to trace to the source, mainly refer to: current standard method is to use VSA calibration signal source, use digital modulation signal generator as standard calibration analyte instrument, this is a closed loop, this closed loop and other standard be not contact almost, being the closed loop that can not trace to the source, is " castles in the air " in whole measuring system.
Gage work operation with closed ring, is easy to occur error circulation and accumulation, is difficult to guarantee accuracy and confidence level.Fig. 1 figuratively understands this problem.
Two, use standard digital modulation signal, lack the setting to error parameter, in general, measuring parameter setting will be contained the main scope of application of the utensil that is measured, such as the range of certain slide calliper rule is 10 centimetres, and only using the scale of 1 centimetre of gauge block calibration, is inadequate.In calibration, during VSA, the modulation signal of digital modulation signals source emission standard, does not carry out error setting to signal, is only actually near 0 of error and tests, and this is disengaging real requirement.Because VSA is in real work, there is larger error in the signal receiving, the effect of VSA is exactly that modulation error parameter is measured, and should to signal, carry out different error settings within the specific limits often, obtain different measured values, metering result is more realistic demand.But why not problem solves, be because error setting and and concrete modulation error parameter between theory relation not yet set up, method of operation lacks especially.

Embodiment
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment and coordinate accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
The character rate of GMSK signal is R
s, and symbol sebolic addressing is 101010 ..., when Gaussian filter BT=0.3, this GMSK signal is a sinusoidal phase-modulation signal so, modulating frequency is 0.5R
s, and modulation index is 0.2431, this conclusion is the follow-up basis of carrying out error structure and tracing to the source, and will prove this conclusion below.Concise and to the point proof flow chart as shown in Figure 2.
As shown in Figure 2, sequence is that baseband signal g (t) waveform of 10101 correspondences is bipolar square wave pulses, the symbol period T that pulse duration is GMSK
s, the Fourier series form of this waveform is:
The frequency domain of Gaussian filter is corresponding:
By BT=0.3, obtained:
By (3), obtain α=0.27752, by its substitution (2), calculating g (t) by gaussian filtering H (f) is afterwards:
Obviously harmonic amplitude is too little, can ignore.G
0(t) signal after frequency modulation is required GMSK signal:
The canonical parameter that current mobile communication system that above analytic process is selected is used is as example, and when parameter changes, above analysis process is still effective.The knowledge innovation that this analysis process is explained for this patent, also should be subject to patent protection.
Frequency is set
modulation index β

V
e(t)=exp[jβ
0sin2π(f
p+Δf)t] (6)
V so
e(t) have phase error and EVM, MagErr is 0 in theory, establishes:
If N is that the symbol numbers (Result Lengt) of GMSK demodulated sequence in VSA is through the mathematical derivation of series of complex, obtain meeting under the constraints of (8) formula, the actual value of 4 modulation error parameters can be calculated according to (9) formula~(12) formula.So just will

By above derivation, sum up briefly conclusion as follows: modulating frequency is 0.5R
s, modulation index is 0.2431, carrier frequency is f
cpM signal, be the GMSK signal of a standard, its Gaussian filter BT=0.3.By modulating frequency and the standard configuration 0.5R of PM signal are set
sdifference DELTA f, what VSA (VSA) was set simultaneously catches length Result Length N, wherein N and Δ f meet the restriction relation of (8) formula.Now just can set up frequency parameter Δ f and modulation error parameter PhaseErrRms, PhaseErrPeak, EvmRms, analytic relationship between EvmPeak, these analytic relationships are as shown in (9) formula~(12) formula, and obviously this is just traceable to frequency parameter by the modulation error of GMSK signal.Solved tracing to the source of Digital Modulation parameter simultaneously, with error, problem has been set.We think " actual value " by this computable Digital Modulation error parameter, by calculated value and the contrast of VSA measured value, have just realized the measurement and calibration to GMSK demodulating error parameter.
