The relevant parameters of the adaptive algorithm and the three operational signals of the estimation circuit: the desired signal, the output signal of the estimation circuit, and the error signal will be defined in the following paragraphs. Then, the performance of the estimation circuit is further improved with a modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm.
考慮BT的射頻頻率wB及WLAN的射頻頻率wW不相同,本發明先以數位移頻電路處理BT基頻訊號xB[n]。詳細來說,根據射頻頻率wB及ww,數位移頻電路將BT基頻訊號xB[n]移到頻率(wB-wW),以獲得移頻訊號。因此,移頻訊號經過WLAN的升頻運作後,所造成的訊號的頻率可與BT洩漏訊號的頻率相同。定義經過適應性濾波器處理移頻訊號所得的訊號為:yA[n]=yA,I[n]+jyA,Q[n] (式6) Considering that the radio frequency w B of BT and the radio frequency w W of WLAN are different, the present invention first uses a digital shift frequency circuit to process the BT base frequency signal x B [n]. In detail, according to the RF frequencies w B and w w , the digital shift frequency circuit shifts the BT base frequency signal x B [n] to the frequency (w B -w W ) to obtain a frequency shift signal. . So the frequency shift signal After the up-scaling operation of WLAN, the frequency of the resulting signal can be compared with the BT leakage signal. The same frequency. Defines frequency-shifted signals processed by adaptive filters The resulting signal is: y A [n] = y A, I [n] + jy A, Q [n] (Eq. 6)
接著,對訊號yA[n]及WLAN基頻訊號xW[n]的加總訊號執行WLAN的升取樣運作及升頻運作後,可產生WLAN射頻訊號。 Then, the WLAN upsampling operation and the upsampling operation are performed on the sum signal of the signal y A [n] and the WLAN base frequency signal x W [n] to generate a WLAN radio frequency signal. .
根據估測電路的運作,期望訊號可為BT洩漏訊號。誤差訊號(即放大器212的輸入訊號)相關於(或可被視為)期望訊號及WLAN射頻訊號的總和。 According to the operation of the estimated circuit, the expected signal can be a BT leak signal . The error signal (i.e. the input signal of the amplifier 212) is related to (or can be considered as) the desired signal And WLAN RF signals Sum.
根據以上所述,放大器212的輸入訊號經過放大器212,再經過回饋路徑後,可提供給疊代運作來計算合適的估測電路參數。經由本架構之設計,估測電路對進入放大器212前的BT洩漏訊號進行消除運作,以降低放大器212所輸出的干擾訊號。 According to the above, after the input signal of the amplifier 212 passes the amplifier 212 and then passes through the feedback path, it can be provided to the iterative operation to calculate the appropriate estimated circuit parameters. Based on the design of this architecture, the circuit estimates the BT leakage signal before entering the amplifier 212 A cancellation operation is performed to reduce the interference signal output by the amplifier 212.
需注意的是,若估測電路所使用的適應性演算法為習知歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法,上述設計雖可大幅消除BT洩漏訊號,但也消除WLAN基頻訊號xW[n]的小部分訊號,減少了效能改善的幅度。因此,本發明以一修正的歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法來改善WLAN基頻訊號xW[n]的衰減。 It should be noted that if the adaptive algorithm used in the estimation circuit is a conventionally normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm, the above design can greatly eliminate the BT leakage signal. , But it also eliminates a small part of the signal of the WLAN baseband signal x W [n], reducing the extent of performance improvement. Therefore, the present invention uses a modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm to improve the attenuation of the WLAN fundamental frequency signal x W [n].
首先,定義適應性演算法的兩個錯誤項(估測電路誤差訊號)如下:
其中為適應性演算法的輸入向量,w n=[wn[0],wn[1],...,wn[L-1]]T為適應性演算法的權重向量,以及期望訊號(即BT洩漏訊號)。 among them Is the input vector of the adaptive algorithm, w n = [w n [0], w n [1], ..., w n [L-1]] T is the weight vector of the adaptive algorithm and the expected signal (I.e. BT leak signal ) .
接著,定義及為差異項。根據最小平均平方誤差(Minimum Mean Square Error,MMSE)的準則,考慮以下兩
為了解決上述方程式,定義△w n+1=w n+1-w n,以及根據Lagrange乘數法來定義以下的成本函數(cost function):
其中,λ為複數的Lagrange乘數。接著,對成本函數做的偏微分,以及假設結果為0,則可得到:
將(式13)代入(式10),可以導出複數的Lagrange乘數λ如下:
接著,將Lagrange乘數λ輸入(式13),新增α為適應性參數(即步進參數),以及新增一個很小的正值c值來避免為0所造成的演算法異常,可得到下列方程式:
需注意的是,雖然可將期望訊號視為BT洩漏訊號,但實際上,無法直接取得d[n]的真正數值,使(式15)式中ê*[n|n]無法由(式7)和(式8)來獲得。因此,本發明提供了一個解決方案,以ê*[n]-ê*[n-1]來近似ê*[n|n]。(式15)可據以被修改如下式:
隨著疊代(iteration)次數的增加,可提高上述近似的準確度。原因為當疊代次數增加時,參數將逐漸收斂,使將越來越接近,計算結果將越來越精確。 As the number of iterations increases, the accuracy of the above approximation can be improved. The reason is that when the number of iterations increases, the parameters will gradually converge, so that Will get closer The calculation results will become more and more accurate.
第6圖為本發明實施例一功率頻譜密度(power spectrum density,PSD)的比較圖。第6圖繪示有歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法及修正的歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的輸入訊號yA[n]的功率頻譜密度,其中“NLMS”表示歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的結果,以及“Modified NLMS”表示修正的歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的結果。輸入訊號yA[n]在WLAN傳輸路徑以反向(負值)的方式被加入,用於消除BT洩漏訊號。因此,此處輸出的BT訊號越相似於 BT洩漏訊號,則干擾消除的結果越佳。在第6圖中,經過歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的結果為-62.64dBm/Hz,修正的歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的結果為-62.62dBm/Hz,以及實際的BT洩漏干擾訊號則為-63.63dBm/Hz。值得注意的是中間頻率的結果,這個區域若存在有訊號,該訊號會對WLAN訊號造成干擾。 根據第6圖,歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的結果為-88.63dBm/Hz,以及修正的歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法的結果為-113dBm/Hz。因此,修正的歸一化最小均方濾波器演算法確實可減少干擾量的產生,使WLAN訊號的品質受到較少的影響。 FIG. 6 is a comparison diagram of power spectrum density (PSD) according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 shows the power spectral density of the input signal y A [n] with a normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm and a modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm, where "NLMS" means normalized The result of the minimum mean square filter algorithm, and "Modified NLMS" represents the result of the modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm. The input signal y A [n] is added in the reverse direction (negative value) on the WLAN transmission path to eliminate the BT leakage signal . Therefore, the more similar the BT signal output here is to the BT leak signal, the better the result of interference cancellation. In Figure 6, the result of the normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm is -62.64dBm / Hz, and the result of the modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm is -62.62dBm / Hz, and the actual The BT leakage interference signal is -63.63dBm / Hz. It is worth noting the result of the intermediate frequency. If there is a signal in this area, the signal will cause interference to the WLAN signal. According to Figure 6, the result of the normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm is -88.63 dBm / Hz, and the result of the modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm is -113 dBm / Hz. Therefore, the modified normalized minimum mean square filter algorithm can indeed reduce the amount of interference and make the quality of the WLAN signal less affected.
