Symbol Synchronization of Single-Carrier Signal with Ultra-Low Oversampling Rate Based on Polyphase Filter

An efficient single-carrier symbol synchronization method is proposed in this paper,which can work under a very low oversampling rate.This method is based on the frequency aliasing squared timing recovery assisted by pilot symbols and time domain filter.With frequency aliasing squared timing recovery with pilots,it is accessible to estimate timing error under oversampling rate less than 2.The time domain filter simultaneously performs matched-filtering and arbitrary interpolation.Because of pilot assisting,timing error estimation can be free from alias and self noise,so our method has good performance.Compared with traditional time-domain methods requiring oversampling rate above 2,this method can be adapted to any rational oversampling rate including less than 2.Moreover,compared with symbol synchronization in frequency domain which can operate under low oversampling rate,our method saves the complicated operation of conversion between time domain and frequency domain.By low oversampling rate and resource saving filter,this method is suitable for ultra-high-speed communication systems under resource-restricted hardware.The paper carries on the simulation and realization under 64QAM system.The simulation result shows that the loss is very low(less than 0.5 dB),and the real-time implementation on field programmable gate array(FPGA)also works fine.

A novel none once per revolution blade tip timing based blade vibration parameters identification method

The vibration caused blade High Cycle Fatigue(HCF)is seriously affects the safety operation of turbomachinery especially for aero-engine.Thus,it is crucial important to identify the blade vibration parameters and then evaluate the dynamic stress amplitude.Blade Tip Timing(BTT)method is one of the promising method to solve these problems.While,it need a high resolution Once Per Revolution(OPR)signal which is difficult to get for the aero-engine.Here,a Coupled Vibration Analysis(CVA)method for identifying blade vibration parameters by a none OPR BTT is proposed.The method assumes that every real blade has its own vibration performance at a given speed.Whereby,it can take any blade as the reference blade,and the other blades using the reference blade as the OPR for vibration displacement calculating and further parameter identifying.The proposed method is validated by numerical model.Also,experimental studies are carried out on a straight blade and a twisted three dimensional blade test rig as well as a large industrial axial compressor respectively.The results show that the proposed method can accurately identify the blade synchronous vibration parameters and quantitatively evaluate the mistuning in bladed disks,which lays a foundation for the reliability improvement of aero-engine.
