TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to generating a noise signal, more specifically, to a noise signal generating apparatus and a noise signal generating method for generating a noise signal of various bandwidths.

BACKGROUND

Electronic Attack (EA) is generally performed by using location information of the enemy's threat signal obtained through Electronic Support (ES) to output a high-power Electronic Jamming signal or an Electronic Deception signal in a direction of the threat signal. The high-power Electronic Jamming signal used for the EA is generated by using a noise signal generated in accordance with the bandwidth of the signal to be attacked in the frequency band where the EA is required.

The noise signal for the EA can be used for an effective EA only if the noise signal has a frequency characteristic that is even within a desired bandwidth in a desired frequency band. This is because, if a specific pattern exists in the generated noise signal or the frequency characteristic is uneven, the threat receiving the EA can recognize the corresponding characteristic factors and then invalidate the EA. Therefore, as the characteristic of the noise signal generated for the EA is closer to the characteristic of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), it can be used as a signal suitable for the effective EA.

Herein, the narrowband noise source signal indicates a noise source signal having a first bandwidth, and the desired bandwidth indicates a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart illustrating a noise signal generating method performed by the noise signal generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2, the noise signal generating method according to an embodiment includes a step S210 of generating a narrowband noise source signal by filtering a noise source signal through at least one narrowband filter among a plurality of narrowband filters.

In addition, the noise signal generating method according to an embodiment further includes a step S220 of generating a bandwidth expansion signal.

In addition, the noise signal generating method according to an embodiment further includes a step S230 of generating a noise signal having a desired bandwidth by expanding the narrowband noise source signal by using a bandwidth expansion signal.

In addition, the noise signal generating method according to an embodiment further includes a step S240 of generating a Pseudo Random Sequence or a Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) Sequence to be used for the randomization.

In addition, the noise signal generating method according to an embodiment further includes a step S250 of randomizing the noise signal having the desired bandwidth through a convolution operation on sequences.

Hereinafter, the noise signal generating method performed by the noise signal generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

First, the noise signal generating unit 111 of the noise signal generating apparatus 100 generates an In-Phase signal and a Quadrature signal with a Gaussian distribution, respectively, and then adds the two signals together to generate a random noise signal with a Complex Gaussian distribution.

The random noise signal generated by the noise signal generating unit 111 with the Complex Gaussian distribution may be defined as a noise source signal as follows.

$\begin{array}{cc}s\left(n\right)=x\left(n\right)+\mathrm{fy}\left(n\right),s\sim 𝒩\left({\mu }_1,{\mu }_2,{\sigma }_1^2,{\sigma }_2^2\right)\to f_{\mathrm{xy}}\left(x,y\right)=\frac{1}{2{\mathrm{\pi \sigma }}_1{\sigma }_2}\exp \left[-\left(\frac{{\left(x-{\mu }_1\right)}^2}{{\sigma }_1^2}+\frac{{\left(y-{\mu }_2\right)}^2}{{\sigma }_2^2}\right)\right]& \left[\mathrm{Equation}1\right]\end{array}$

Herein, assuming the random noise source signal generated with the Complex Gaussian distribution is referred to as s(n), s(n) may be expressed as a sum of x(n) which is a real value of the random noise source signal and y(n) which is an imaginary value of the random noise source signal. In addition, x(n) and y(n) follow the Complex Gaussian distribution f_xy(x,y) of Equation 1 in which averages are μ₁ and μ₂, and variances are σ₁² and σ₂², respectively.

As described above, since the random noise source signal generated by the noise signal generating unit 111 has a signal characteristic having an infinite bandwidth component in a frequency axis as shown in FIG. 3(a), the random noise source signal may be converted to a band-limited narrowband noise source signal s(n) that may be implemented in an actual system.

To this end, in the step S210, the narrowband filter processing unit 112 generates the narrowband noise source signal by passing the noise source signal through one or more narrowband filters among a plurality of narrowband filters. For example, if a Low-pass filter with a passband frequency of 9 MHz, a stopband frequency of 10 MHz, a passband ripple of 0.5 dB, and a stopband attenuation of 40 dB is applied in order to generate the narrowband noise source signal s(n) with a bandwidth B of 20 MHz, a result thereof is as shown in FIG. 3(b).

Herein, the narrowband filter processing unit 112 may use a plurality of digital filters each having a different bandwidth to implement various noise signal bandwidth resolutions. When switching the digital filters having a plurality of different bandwidths such as a bandwidth B₁ of 1 MHz, a bandwidth B₂ of 20 MHz, a bandwidth B₃ of 500 MHz, etc., thereby filtering the noise source signal through any one of the digital filters, it is possible to expand and generate a noise signal having more various bandwidth resolutions.

In a step S220, the bandwidth expansion signal generating unit 113 generates a bandwidth expansion signal as shown in Equation 2. In the step S230, the generated bandwidth expansion signal is provided for the logic operation unit 114 with the narrowband noise source signal s(n) output from the narrowband digital processing unit 112, and converted to a noise signal having a desired bandwidth through a logical conjunction operation by the logic operation unit 114. The converted signal is the same as a frequency spectrum result of FIG. 3C.

FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show graphs of a power spectrum density function of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, a narrowband noise source signal generated by applying a narrowband digital filter, and a noise signal generated with an expanded bandwidth.

$\begin{array}{cc}\hat{s}\left(n\right)=\hat{s}\left(n\right)\times \cos \left[2\pi \left(\frac{2^{-1}B}{f_s}{i}_1\right)n\right]\times \cos \left[2\pi \left(\frac{2^{0}B}{f_s}{i}_2\right)n\right]\times \cdots \times \cos \left[2\pi \left(\frac{2^{K-2}B}{f_s}{i}_E\right)n\right]& \left[\mathrm{Equation}2\right]\end{array}$

The noise signal ŝ(n) having the expanded bandwidth includes the narrowband noise source signal s(n) and the bandwidth expansion signals, and the frequencies of the bandwidth expansion signals are determined by a bandwidth B of the narrowband noise source signal s(n). f_s indicates a sampling frequency, and i_k indicates a bandwidth expansion level index that determines the bandwidth expansion level. Herein, i_k=0 or 1. In Equation 2, the expansion bandwidth is changed based on a value of the bandwidth expansion level index, and an embodiment of a bandwidth that may be expanded for a given bandwidth B is as follows.

The bandwidth expansion signal generating unit 113 may generate the bandwidth expansion signal by using a product of a plurality of cosine functions, or may generate the bandwidth expansion signal based on a bandwidth of the narrowband noise source signal. In addition, the bandwidth expansion signal generating unit 113 may generate the bandwidth expansion signal by expanding the bandwidth of the narrowband noise source signal by 2^K times by using K number of cosine functions. For example, the bandwidth expansion signal generating unit 113 may generate the bandwidth expansion signal by using the bandwidth expansion level index i_k that determines the bandwidth expansion level through activation/inactivation of the K number of cosine functions. In this way, if the bandwidth expansion signal generating unit 113 expands the bandwidth of the noise signal, it is formed that a frequency spectrum with the same pattern as the narrowband noise source signal is sequentially arranged as shown in the frequency spectrum of FIG. 3C. Accordingly, as shown in a result of analyzing a Probability Density Function of FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D, a real/imaginary value of the expanded noise signal has a distorted existing Gaussian characteristic.

FIG. 4A shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of In-Phase signal strength III of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, a narrowband noise source signal generated by applying a narrowband digital filter, and a noise signal generated with an expanded bandwidth.

FIG. 4B shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of Quadrature signal strength |Q| of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, a narrowband noise source signal generated by applying a narrowband digital filter, and a noise signal generated with an expanded bandwidth.

FIG. 4C shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of complex signal strength |I|+|Q|, which is a sum of an In-Phase component and a Quadrature component, of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, a narrowband noise source signal generated by applying a narrowband digital filter, and a noise signal generated with an expanded bandwidth.

FIG. 4D shows graphs of Probability Density Function of complex signal power strength |I|²+|Q|² of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, a narrowband noise source signal generated by applying a narrowband digital filter, and a noise signal generated with an expanded bandwidth.

In order to minimize distortion that occurs when a specific pattern exists in the noise signal generated in the step S230 or when the frequency characteristic is uneven, and in order to have a characteristic similar to an existing Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), randomization may be applied to the noise signal ŝ(n) having the expanded bandwidth.

The sequence generating unit 121 generates a Pseudo Random Sequence or a Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) Sequence to be used for the randomization. For example, there is a Pseudo Noise Sequence that is a Pseudo Random Sequence, and since a value normalized to −1 or 1 is used for the randomization in a case of the Pseudo Noise Sequence, there is a limit to a randomization characteristic in terms of a phase and a frequency. The CAZAC Sequence as shown in Equation 3 may be used as a signal sequence used to compensate for the limitation.

$\begin{array}{cc}c\left(n\right)=\{\begin{array}{cc}\exp \left[-j\pi k\frac{n^2}{N}\right]& N\mathrm{is}\mathrm{even}\\ \exp \left[-j\pi k\frac{n\left(n+1\right)}{N}\right]& N\mathrm{is}\mathrm{odd}\end{array}& \left[\mathrm{Equation}3\right]\end{array}$

Herein, a size of N is the number of samples included in a sequence block, and c(n) indicates an n-th output value if N is an arbitrary positive number. k is an index that determines a type of a sequence, and if the size of N is fixed, a plurality of CAZAC Sequences may be generated by changing k into an integer value between 1 and N−1.

FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D show a result of comparing a complex plane characteristic and an Auto-correlation characteristic of a Pseudo Noise Sequence and a CAZAC Sequence observed on a time/frequency axis. FIG. 5A shows an In-Phase/Quadrature characteristic on a complex plane on a time axis of a Pseudo Noise Sequence, which is a Pseudo Random Sequence, and a CAZAC Sequence. FIG. 5B shows an Auto-correlation characteristic on a time axis of a Pseudo Noise Sequence, which is a Pseudo Random Sequence, and a CAZAC Sequence. FIG. 5C shows an In-Phase/Quadrature characteristic on a complex plane on a frequency axis of a Pseudo Noise Sequence, which is a Pseudo Random Sequence, and a CAZAC Sequence. FIG. 5D shows an Auto-correlation characteristic on a frequency axis of a Pseudo Noise Sequence, which is a Pseudo Random sequence, and a CAZAC Sequence.

Compared with the Pseudo Noise Sequence, the CAZAC Sequence has a randomized sequence while maintaining a constant signal strength (radius) on the complex plane on the time/frequency axis, and it may be identified that the CAZAC Sequence has an excellent characteristic in terms of the Auto-correlation on the time/frequency axis. Such a characteristic may be effectively utilized to minimize a specific pattern existing on a noise signal ŝ(n) having an expanded bandwidth and to have a frequency characteristic similar to that of the existing AWGN.

Randomization for the noise signal ŝ(n) having the bandwidth expanded in the step S230 may be performed by applying a convolution operation using the Pseudo Random Sequence c(n) generated by the sequence generating unit 121 as shown in Equation 4. In order to continuously apply a length N of the Pseudo Random Sequence to a noise signal sequence of the expanded bandwidth, a circular convolution operation using the Pseudo Random Sequence c(n) is applied.

$\begin{array}{cc}y\left(n\right)=\hat{s}\left(n\right)*c\left(n\right)=\sum _{\tau =0}^{N-1}\hat{s}\left(\tau \right)c\left(n-\tau \right)& \left[\mathrm{Equation}4\right]\end{array}$

The convolution operation unit 122 receives the noise signal ŝ(n) having the expanded bandwidth and the Pseudo Random Sequence c(n), thereby outputting a randomized noise signal y(n). It may be identified that a frequency spectrum characteristic of the finally generated noise signal is as shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C. Compared to FIG. 6A showing a frequency spectrum of the noise signal ŝ(n) having the expanded bandwidth, in the case of FIG. 6B in which the Pseudo Noise Sequence is applied to the randomization and FIG. 6C in which the CAZAC Sequence is applied to the randomization, it may be seen that an existing repetitive frequency characteristic is removed and they have a frequency characteristic similar to that of AWGN. In addition, it may be seen that the frequency spectrum characteristic of the noise signal in which the CAZAC Sequence is applied to the randomization compared to the noise signal in which the Pseudo Noise Sequence is applied to the randomization has an effect of mitigating a peak level of a frequency with high signal strength.

In addition, it may be seen that a noise signal output from the convolution operation unit 122 may have a characteristic of a Probability Density Function similar to an existing AWGN as shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D. FIG. 7A shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of In-Phase signal strength III of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, an expanded noise signal to which a Pseudo Noise Sequence is applied, and an expanded noise signal to which a CAZAC Sequence is applied. FIG. 7B shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of Quadrature signal strength |Q| of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, an expanded noise signal to which a Pseudo Noise Sequence is applied, and an expanded noise signal to which a CAZAC Sequence is applied. FIG. 7C shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of complex signal strength |I|+|Q|, which is a sum of an In-Phase component and a Quadrature component, of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, an expanded noise signal to which a Pseudo Noise Sequence is applied, an expanded noise signal to which a CAZAC Sequence is applied. FIG. 7D shows graphs of a Probability Density Function of complex signal power strength |I|²+|Q|² of a random noise signal generated with a Complex Gaussian distribution, an expanded noise signal to which a Pseudo Noise Sequence is applied, an expanded noise signal to which a CAZAC Sequence is applied.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, noise signals of various bandwidths may be generated with low complexity so as to have characteristics similar to an AWGN by generating and then outputting narrowband noise signals of various bandwidths by performing randomization.
