Design of a Narrow Transition Band Dynamic Digital Channelized Receiver withoutMerging Adjacent Sub-channels

In electronic reconnaissance, effective channelization of several input signals with unknown parameters is the key requirement of the broadband receiver. Generally, since the prototype filter must be perfect, the dynamic channelized receiver based on merging adjacent sub-channels to reconstruct non-uniform filter Banks occupies too many resources and is difficult to realize. This paper proposed a sharp wideband channelized receiver based on DFT filter banks and interpolated filter banks. The proposed receiver consists of an analysis section, channel detection and arbitration section, and a synthesis section. The analysis section divides the wideband signal into multiple sub-channels. Channel detection and arbitration section output the center frequencies and the bandwidths of the input signals. In the synthesis section, after being converted to baseband, the input signals are filtered and decimated to achieve the low rate signals. The proposed method released the design of the prototype filter from the requirement of perfect reconstruction. So it is computationally efficient. Besides, time-multiplexed and interpolated filter techniques can be used to further reduce the hardware complexity. Simulation results verify the validity of the proposed method.
