Receiver Bandwidth Extension Beyond Nyquist Using Channel Bonding
2023 17TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION, EUCAP(2023)
Abstract
Current and upcoming communication and sensing technologies require ever larger bandwidths. Channel bonding can be utilized to extend a receiver's instantaneous bandwidth beyond a single converter's Nyquist limit. Two potential joint front-end and converter design approaches are theoretically introduced, realized and evaluated in this paper. The Xilinx RFSoC platform with its 5 GSa/s analog to digital converters (ADCs) is used to implement both a hybrid coupler based in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) sampling and a time-interleaved sampling approach along with channel bonding. Both realizations are demonstrated to be able to reconstruct instantaneous bandwidths of 5 GHz with up to 49 dB image rejection ratio (IRR) typically within 4 to 8 dB the front-ends' theoretical limits.
