Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to technical field of semiconductors, particularly the pulse generator technology.
Background technology
Ultra broadband (Ultra Wideband, UWB) be a kind of with short pulse (0.1nm ~ 1.5ns) transmit, the high wireless communication technology of the bandwidth ratio ratio of centre frequency (radio frequency bandwidth with), it with traffic rate height, good concealment, do not take new frequency spectrum resource three advantages, rise in twentieth century end, and in the field acquisition extensive use such as military, civilian.Compare with arrowband technology such as traditional bluetooth, WLAN, the UWB technology has transmission rate height (hundreds of Mbit/s), strong anti-interference performance, low in energy consumption, the characteristics such as security performance is good, is mainly used in the fields such as indoor communications, high-speed wireless LAN, radar.The FCC of US Federal Communication Committee regulation, civilian UWB spectral range is 3.1 ~ 10.6GHz, and two kinds of patterns are arranged: multiband TD/FDMA and direct frequency band DS-SS.The mode that produces the UWB local oscillation signal has two kinds: Orthodoxy Frequency Division Multiplex OFDM-UWB and impulse radio IR-UWB.Therefore not tolerance frequency skew of OFDM-UWB needs to use the frequency synthesis technique based on phase-locked loop; And in theory tolerance frequency skew of IR-UWB, IEEE 802.15.4a standard adopts IR-UWB, owing to adopt the burst transfer mode, greatly reduces system power dissipation, is applied to short distance, low power consumption wireless network.
The IR-UWB technology directly transmits and receives pulse communication, utilizes nanosecond to picosecond to get the burst pulse the transmission of data, has the transmission rate height, ability of anti-multipath is strong, fail safe good and the plurality of advantages such as accurate stationkeeping ability.And in the IR-UWB technology, need pulse generator to produce to satisfy the continuous impulse waveform of circuit working requirement, thereby pulse generator is one of its important parts.
In this technical field, three the key technical indexes weighing the UWB pulse generator are: impulse output amplitude, pulse repetition frequency, impulse waveform.In the prior art, the method that produces IR-UWB work required pulse is a lot, and tradition becomes the primary method that people pay close attention to based on the pulse generator of triode avalanche effect with its advantage that is easy to realize.Pass through at present the methods such as multitube series, parallel, Marx matrix to the continuous Improvement of this quasi-tradition pulse generator, obtain certain progress, the key technical indexes can reach: pulse amplitude is 8.25V, pulse repetition frequency 50MHz, impulse waveform are mainly the approximate Gaussian arteries and veins, but with the UWB technical standard also there are larger gap in the requirement of the Emission Mask condition paired pulses waveform of high pulse repetition frequency 480MHz and FCC.
And along with the development of semiconductor technology, the circuit that is used at present producing the UWB pulse in the prior art mostly is greatly the high-speed electronic components of all solid state type, such as photoelectric device and high-speed electronic components etc.The IR-UWB method that required continuous impulse produces of working roughly can be divided into two classes: photoelectric method and electronic method.Photoelectric method can obtain ps(10
-12S) the UWB pulse of level width, and high conformity is that class methods of using future are arranged most, but still locates at present conceptual phase.Electronic method utilizes the optimum breakdown characteristics of the reverse snowslide of semiconductor PN and high-speed figure combinational logic circuit to produce the following UWB pulse of 1ns, because its circuit structure is simply studied widely and used.
Electronic method of the prior art mainly can divide again three kinds: the first is to utilize the warfare of high-speed cmos logic gates to produce the UWB pulse, this mode can produce approximate each rank differential Gaussian pulse, but output pulse amplitude is low, is generally hundreds of mV, and the circuit static power consumption is larger; The second is that traditional avalanche breakdown conducting control capacitance discharge based on BJT forms the UWB pulse.This class pulse generator output pulse amplitude is large, the circuit static power consumption approaches zero, pulse duration is little and easy control, but generally can only produce the approximate Gaussian pulse, the frequency spectrum DC component is large, needs just can meet FCC Emission Mask standard through strict Waveform shaping; The third is to utilize various high-speed electronic components, sows integrated circuits such as field effect transistor logical circuit etc. such as tunnel diode, step recovery diode, pulsed-discharge tube, arsenic.
In addition, also occurred utilizing the competition of digital circuit-risk principle to produce the UWB ultra-narrow pulse in the prior art, the UWB pulse-generator circuit of design as depicted in figs. 1 and 2.Fig. 1 is for carrying out XOR with one tunnel clock signal and same clock signal through being input to XOR gate behind the delay line.According to the XOR gate logical relation, only when the rising edge of clock signal and trailing edge, two incoming levels are just different, this moment gate circuit output logic high level " 1 ", two incoming levels are identical At All Other Times, gate circuit output logic low level " 0 ".The amount of delay of adjusting delay line just can change the phase difference of two input signals, and the output width is subjected to amount of delay control high level pulse.Obtain the UWB pulse by simple control to the delay line amount of delay, again by processing of circuit such as shaping pulse, amplifications, obtain the satisfactory pulse signals of index such as pulse duration, amplitude.
According to the AND circuit logic, when two inputs all are logic high, the output high level.As shown in Figure 2, clock signal be input to inverter and with an input of door, because the delay of inverter and circuit self, when the rising edge output of clock signal, the logic high of utmost point short time appears simultaneously with two inputs of door, namely with pulse of door output, and all the other times because always have one to be logic level with door two inputs, thereby output all is logic low.In the circuit design process, driving source should be selected the as far as possible clock signal of weak point of rising time, guarantees the accurate control of retardation, and the resistance matching problem between the chip also needs to cause enough attention.The limitation of this method is the realization of high speed logic, the control of accurate phase delay and control and the raising of pulse amplitude, and simultaneously, the price of this high-speed chip reaches the extremely level of using, and also needs some times.
Yet according to foregoing description as can be known, the method for the conventional generation IR-UWB pulse of adopting is by the performance of device own, according to set communication requirement design in the prior art, and pulse duration is determined according to the pulse-generator circuit structure.In the IR-UWB wireless communication technology, its signal modulation system mainly is that modulate paired pulses amplitude and the position of pulse on time shaft, and the regulating impulse width can change the bandwidth of signal transmission.Under these circumstances, demand for the IR-UWB communication system, need to adjust flexibly pulse duration conveniently to reach optimum signal transmission bandwidth, Given this, can seem particularly important according to the continuous impulse generator of the required bandwidth free adjustment of signal transmission pulse duration.
