基于FPGA的自研软件无线电实验平台设计

    Design of Self-developed Software Defined Radio Experimental Platform Based on FPGA

    • 摘要: 传统的无线通信、雷达技术验证主要依赖软件仿真或国外较为昂贵的通用软件无线电外设(Universal Software Radio Peripheral, USRP)等。针对该情况,本文对软件无线电(Software Defined Radio, SDR)实验平台的关键技术进行研究,自主研发了一款基于现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA)的SDR硬件验证实验平台。自主设计开发了多层射频与基带印刷电路板(Printed Circuit Board, PCB)硬件、FPGA嵌入式软件。该实验平台支持已有USRP等商业SDR平台普遍支持的多个具有代表性的实验案例,采用ZYNQ-7020 FPGA与AD9361作为基带与射频处理芯片,支持千兆网口与通用串行总线(Universal Serial Bus, USB)两种通信接口。实验结果表明,自研SDR硬件实验平台达到了预期的设计目标,与类似SDR实验平台相比具“小尺寸、低成本、低功耗、接口灵活多样”等优势,较为适合低空无人机机载等对功耗、尺寸较为严格的实验场景,一定程度上缓解了我国在SDR实验平台上的技术“卡脖子”问题。

       

      Abstract: The verification of traditional wireless communication or radar technologies mainly relies on software simulation or expensive foreign Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRP). In response to this situation, this article focuses on the key technologies of the Software Defined Radio (SDR) experimental platform and independently develops a SDR hardware verification experimental platform based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and independently designs and develops multi-layer RF and baseband Printed Circuit Board (PCB) hardware, FPGA embedded software. This experimental platform supports multiple representative experimental cases that are widely supported by commercial SDR platforms such as USRP, and uses ZYNQ-7020 FPGA and AD9361 as baseband and Radio Frequency (RF) processing chips, supporting two communication interfaces: gigabit Ethernet port and Universal Serial Bus (USB). The experimental results show that the self-developed SDR hardware experimental platform has achieved the expected design goals and has advantages such as "smaller size, lower cost, lower power consumption, and more flexible and diverse interfaces" compared to similar SDR experimental platforms. It is more suitable for experimental scenarios with strict requirements on power consumption and size, such as low altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). To a certain extent, it alleviates the technical bottleneck problem of China on the SDR experimental platform.
