      Hardware emulation technology for smooth evolutionary channels in low-altitude scenarios

      • 摘要: 针对传统硬件模拟技术难以准确复现低空信道动态平滑演进特性的问题,基于现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)平台提出了一种面向低空场景平滑演进信道的硬件模拟技术。首先,结合基于多路径分量距离的K-means++算法优化初始参数后的高斯混合模型分簇算法与簇生灭跟踪算法实现对动态时变信道的多径连续分簇。然后,采用基于簇移动与生灭判别的动态多相滤波器与簇幅值线性插值器对输入信号做平滑滤波,利用演进控制模块对多相滤波器和线性插值器进行操控,实现考虑信道生灭情况下信道时延功率参数的平滑演进。测试结果表明,本文方法输出功率时延谱(power delay profile, PDP)与外场实测结果变化趋势基本一致,相邻时刻分簇结果相较于改进前提升了关联性,信道功率时延参数的平滑演进特性也得到显著提升,可为未来低空通信的系统优化、验证和评估提供有效手段。

         

        Abstract: To address the challenge that traditional hardware emulation techniques struggle to accurately reproduce the dynamic and smooth evolution characteristics of low-altitude channels, this paper proposed a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based hardware emulation technique for smoothly evolving channels in low-altitude scenarios. First, continuous multi-path clustering in dynamic time-varying channels is realized by combining a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering algorithm, whose initial parameters are optimized by a K-means++ algorithm based on the distances of multi-path components, with a cluster birth-death tracking algorithm. Then, a dynamic polyphase filter and a cluster amplitude linear interpolator, based on cluster movement and birth-death decisions, are utilized to perform smooth filtering on the input signal. An evolution control module is used to manipulate these components, thereby achieving a smooth evolution of the channel delay and power parameters while accounting for cluster birth and death. The test results indicatethat the power delay profile (PDP) generated by the proposed method exhibited a trend consistent with field measurement results. Furthermore, the correlation between clustering results at adjacent time instants is improved compared to the previous method, and the smooth evolution characteristic of the channel power-delay parameters is significantly enhanced. This work provides an effective means for the future optimization, verification, and evaluation of low-altitude communication systems.
