摘要

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is paving the way for the digital era of broadcasting. This is true not only for satellite transmission but also for terrestrial distribution which is using conventional Analog Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM) bands. The accepted terrestrial DAB standard is referred to as HD Radio and was developed by iBiquity Digital. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signalling to transmit digital data using an in-band on-channel (IBOC) signalling. The HD Radio standard permits both digital-only and hybrid analog-digital operating modes. The large base of installed AM transmitters and the associated large investment in the design of AM transmitters has generated interest in examining the existing AM and FM analog hardware to determine where potential problems may exist in using digital signals with these systems. The spectrum re-growth causing adjacent channel interference is of special interest in this kind of investigations.;This project analyzes the antenna impedance mismatch effects of the spectrum re-growth in the hybrid AM signal at the passband as being transmitted from the broadcasting station. Antenna impedance is difficult to control and changes with weather conditions, e.g., icing on the transmitter antenna causes "complex load terminations" which increases spectral re-growth and further deteriorates the transmitted signal. Therefore, it is of interest to design AM amplifiers that are not sensitive to changes in the antenna load. This project, first documents the spectrum re-growth results when modeling the antenna load as a resonant circuit in cases of series and shunt load mismatch when the inverse Chebychev reconstruction filter is deployed in the EER amplifier. Then the work attempts to design other filters of the same order that would offer comparable spectral performance when working with the antenna impedance deviations from the nominal resistive value of 50 O. Different selectivity factors, Q, for antenna resonant circuit are considered, and the conclusion is reached that the inverse Chebychev reconstruction filter offers the most robust performance.;In the project, the AM transmitter simulation environment in Advance Design System (ADS) from Agilent Technologies was developed for various design testing purposes. The environment combines analog and digital circuitry co-simulations and will be useful for future developments in this area. The ADS simulated waveforms corresponding to AM transmission at 1.7 MHz are also verified in a hardware platform using Agilent instrumentation, which for the purpose of this project is referred to as Software Defined Instrumentation (SDI).;In preparing for the arrival of HD Radio for AM broadcast, it is important to consider the bandwidth performance of a station's antenna system. Since the majority of AM power amplifiers is using envelope elimination and restoration technique (EER) based on the pulse duration modulation, the restoration filter in the envelope path of the high power baseband signal plays a crucial role in the amplifier performance.
