Abstract

In this paper, a parallel carrier recovery scheme with a large frequency acquisition range of about ±50% of the symbol rate is proposed for terahertz communication systems. The proposed scheme is divided into two parts: the frequency offset acquisition based on Mengali and Morelli (MM) algorithm and the frequency offset tracking employing a decision feedback phase-locked loop. Then, we also design its efficient hardware implementation architecture on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. To improve the utilization of hardware resources, two independent frequency offset compensation modules of the acquisition stage and of the tracking stage are integrated into one offset compensation module. Moreover, an 8 Gbps communication system relying on the proposed parallel carrier recovery scheme is implemented on a Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZUC111 Evaluation Kit. The simulation and implementation results show that the proposed parallel carrier recovery scheme performs well in large carrier frequency offset scenarios and its bit error rate (BER) performance can approach the theoretical curve under 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM).
