Broadband Spectral Analysis Algorithm with High-Frequency Resolution for Elimination of Overlap Interference between Adjacent Channels
description Spectral lines can be analysed to determine the physical properties of molecular clouds and the astrochemical processes in the formation area of massive stars. To improve the observation technology of radio astronomy, this paper proposes and compares two spectral analysis algorithms (improved weighted overlap-add (IWOLA) + FFT and IWOLA + weighted overlap-add (WOLA)). The proposed algorithms can obtain an ultra-high-frequency resolution for real-valued wideband signals, eliminate the signal overlapping interference between adjacent channels, substantially decrease the required hardware resources, especially multipliers, adders, and memory resources, and reduce the system design complexity. The IWOLA + FFT algorithm consists of an improved weighted overlap-add (IWOLA) filter bank, fast Fourier transform (FFT), a specific decimation for the output data from the IWOLA filter bank, and a selection for part of the output data from the FFT. The IWOLA + WOLA algorithm consists of the same modules as the IWOLA + FFT algorithm, with the second-stage FFT replaced by the modules of the weighted overlap-add (WOLA) filter bank and the accumulation for each sub-band. Based on an analysis of the underlying principles and characteristics of both algorithms, the IWOLA + FFT algorithm demonstrated a spectrum with a high frequency resolution and a comparable performance to an ultra-large-scale FFT, based on two smaller FFTs and a flexible architecture instead of a ultra-large-scale FFT. The IWOLA + WOLA algorithm contains the same function as the IWOLA + FFT algorithm and demonstrates a higher performance. The proposed algorithms eliminated the interference between the adjacent channels within the entire Nyquist frequency bandwidth. The simulation results verify the accuracy and spectral analysis performances of the proposed algorithms.
