Bellatrix Wideband Signal Compressor Los Alamos National Laboratory
Lossy Compressionof Wideband RF • Time Based Compression (Burst Digitization) • Well suited for pulse-like signals with low duty factor • Performance depends on detection of pulse presence • Weak SNR cases need sophisticated triggering • Frequency Domain Compression (Homomorphic + Thresholding) • Well suited to long duration signals and complex signal mixtures • Simple versions of algorithm can provide 5X compression & high fidelity • Higher compression ratios tend to round fast rise/fall times on pulses • Compression Through Sub-Band Coding • Joint localization of signal in time and frequency • Adaptive bit allocation and scalar quantizer design • Compression generally removes signal “noise”
Lossy Compressionof Wideband RF • Tasks for version 1.0 • Simulate and functionally verify polyphase filter code • Validate filter performance against models • Implement polyphase filter in SLAAC-1 • add mezzanine and backplane interfaces • probably have to partition design into 2 PEs • create testbench to interface with mezzanine cards • Write/Verify code for post-filter detection • Integrate detector with polyphase filter in SLAAC-1 • Additional code • data delay buffer to compensate for trigger latency • precise time stamp for data header • format data for downstream processing • Integrate SLAAC-1 with Bellatrix system
