Abstract

An RF energy detector for spectrum sensing in TV white space transceiver is presented. It is based on an RF active filtering technique that comprises a low-noise amplifier with a frequency-translation high-pass filtering feedfoward loop, which attenuates the unwanted sideband energy and only passes the wanted band energy. Unlike the conventional architecture, a new architecture that can attenuate both sidebands at the same time is proposed. A simplified system modeling method is presented to assess the non-ideality effects on the RF energy detector performances. System behavioral simulations demonstrate that the proposed architecture can be instrumental for realizaing a RF energy detector circuit in CMOS.

TV 대역 White Space 송수신기에서 스펙트럼 센싱을 위한 RF 에너지 검출기 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 에너지 검출기는 RF 능동 필터 구조에 기반하며, RF 저잡음 증폭기에 고역통과필터를 포함하는 피드포워드 루프를 추가함으로써 원하는 RF 주파수 성분만 통과시키고 그 외의 대역은 감쇄시키는 동작을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 구조가 갖는 단점인 단측파 대역만 억압할 수 있는 문제를 해결하고자 양측파 대역을 동시에 억압할 수 있는 새로운 구조를 제안하였고, 간단한 시스템 모델링을 통해 구성요소의 Non-ideality에 의한 RF 에너지 검출기 성능에 대한 영향을 평가하였다. 또한, 시스템 시뮬레이션을 통해 양측파대역이 효과적으로 감쇄되어 RF 에너지 검출기로서 동작할 수 있음을 보였다.
