IQ Demodulator

Relcom's IQ Demodulator IP Core is a high speed quadrature modulation receiver component. The core accepts analog samples of the baseband I and Q channels of a quadrature modulated signal. The input samples can be provided by an external high speed analog to digital converter (ADC) sampling the output of an analog quadrature down converter module, or by the digital samples of a digital down converter unit. The output of the core are the I and Q samples of the correctly timed and de-rotated coordinates of the symbols (soft decision) or the modulation scheme dependent raw bit combination (hard decision). The samples are provided through a received symbol rate synchronous 2x8 bit IQ bus, or through a FIFO synchronized microprocessor interface. Can be suited for decomposition of input bandpass signal into its complex envelope.

Features

Modulation schemes supported: BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM
Symbol rate: 2k-4M symbol/sec, using 64MHz clock and sampling frequency
Receive filter: 65 or 129 tap FIR filter operating at 8x symbol rate sample frequency, utilizing 4 times bandwidth suppression range
Switchable DC remove component
Forward coupled, switchable automatic gain control
Interpolating resampling method calculating mid sample values, to get the value of the ideal sampling time
Symbol timing recovery utilizing 24 bit filter phase locked loop, with configurable loop gain
Adaptive filter: 8 tap complex data coefficient FIR filter operating at 2x symbol rate, synchronous to the received symbol timing
Digital COSTAS loop utilizing CORDIC algorithm for angle measurement, with switchable loop filter coefficients
External COSTAS loop support
Programmable lock detector through the microprocessor interface
Highly configurable measurement support through DA channels, with switchable measurement point on critical signals
The whole operation is controlled through registers on the microprocessor interface
The core fits in Xilinx Spartan3-1500 FPGA, that can be found on the PCDSP6 card, and can utilize the high speed AD units on the board. The microprocessor interface connects to the EMIF-B bus of the Texas DSP processors on the card.
