Abstract

For the receiver of Global Navigation Satellite System, quadrature digital down converter of low intermediate frequency signal can reduce the data rate and improve the real-time processing ability of baseband. But the phase quantization and amplitude quantization of existing methods may introduce new errors which could have a serious impact on the receiver’s ultimate accuracy. According to the result of extensive research in the processing method for quadrature digital down converter, optimization the structure of polyphase filter, Integrated planning for the receiver with the unified optimization of RF chip and baseband circuit. Design a quadrature digital down converter structure which shared with capture mode and tracking mode, and does not introduce gain error and phase error. Simulation and application test results showed that compared with classic quadrature digital down converters, the design put forward in this pater can avoid data and phase truncation with a simple structure and faster processing speed. Under the same image frequency rejection ratio, its circuit is smaller. Practice has proved that the proposed FPGA structure is very suitable for the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.
