Abstract
The development of direct receiver techniques is expected to be a solution for future wideband or multi-band wireless systems based on software defined radio. In this Paper, we study the regeneration of I and Q signals for the SDR based direct conversion receiver, so that we can handle a wide bandwidth and maintain maximal flexibility in system utilization. After modeling the basic system considering the real wireless communication environment, and studying the impact of imperfect phase imbalance on the performance of a direct conversion receiver, we propose a suboptimal I and Q signal regeneration algorithm for the system. The proposed algerian regenerates I and Q signals using a real time early-late compensator which effectively estimates phase imbalances and gives feedback in a directreceiver. The proposed algorithm is shown to mitigate the impact of AWGN and improves performance especially at low SNR channel condition. According to the computer simulation, the BER performance of the proposed system is at least about 4 dB better than conventional systems under $45{\~}55$ degrees random phase errors.
