Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment the present invention is described further.Should be noted that specific embodiment described herein only is used to illustrate, be not limited to the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a kind of radio-frequency transmitter system principle schematic diagram that typically has AGC, in Fig. 1, radiofrequency signal is through low noise amplifier (LNA, Low Noise Amplifier) amplifies isolation and band pass filter (BPF, Band Pass Filter) after the filtering, with the signal (LO that shakes of the two-part code of quadrature each other, Local Oscillation) mixing (Mixer), produce homophase and quadrature two-way baseband signal respectively, again by low pass filter (LPF, Low Pass Filter) and variable gain amplifier (VGA, Variable GainAmplifier) finishing channel selection and gain adjusts, the analog baseband signal of Chan Shenging becomes digital baseband signal and enters in the baseband processor after carrying out analog-to-digital conversion through analog to digital converter (ADC, Analog Data Converter) and sampling then.As can be seen from Figure 1, after above-mentioned radiofrequency signal was handled through the passage of radio-frequency transmitter, before entering into baseband processor, the increase intensity of its signal was decided by the gain of VGA.Also be that the part that the whole channel gain of radio-frequency transmitter mainly works is VGA, the voltage of its ride gain is the feedback control signal from baseband processor.Wherein in baseband processor, establish the calibration chart of the corresponding relation of receiver gain control word and receiver gain, by in calibration chart, searching the gain that adapts with received signal, and export the gain control end that a gain control signal is given VGA, control the channel gain of radio-frequency transmitter, thereby make the dynamic range of signals of receiver channel output very little, avoid performance impact receiver back-end processing part.
Need to prove that Fig. 1 is the receiver system of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each processing section of receiver described here all meets the requirement of receiver operate as normal, can reflect the gain characteristic of radio-frequency transmitter truly.Can only not be applicable to radio-frequency transmitter system shown in Figure 1 but technology of the present invention does not show, so long as the method for this receiver control gain, and this accurate control relation need calibrate and could determine, technology of the present invention all can extensively be suitable for.
Radio-frequency transmitter automatic gain control calibration table, be to handle the available power difference that enters into baseband processor afterwards through receiver channel by original power and the calibrating signal of calculating calibrating signal, obtain the gain of radio-frequency transmitter, thereby set up a mapping relations calibration chart about receiver gain control word and receiver gain.Calibration chart of the present invention wherein calculates when entering into the signal available power of baseband processor in generative process, is not the method that adopts time domain signal calculated power, but uses the frequency-domain calculations signal power.
Use traditional way of calculating received signal power in time domain, the computing formula of this method is as follows:
P RX = 1 N Σ i = 1 N ( I i 2 + Q i 2 )
Wherein, P RXBe received signal power, L iAnd Q iBe respectively the sampling point of the digital baseband signal of received signal behind over-sampling, from above-mentioned formula as can be seen, DC component and interference signal also can generate digital sampling point through over-sampling, be included in the middle of the received signal, so at small-signal (100dBm), signal is submerged in the middle of the above-mentioned noise, and the received power size of baseband processor computing can not reflect the actual power value, causes the accuracy and the accuracy of radio-frequency transmitter gain A GC calibration chart destroyed.
And the method for FFT calculating received power is as follows, and the digital sampling point behind over-sampling carries out the FFT computing to received signal, and operational formula is as follows:
I ( K ) = Σ n = 0 N - 1 I ( n ) e - j 2 π N Kn
Q ( K ) = Σ n = 0 N - 1 Q ( n ) e - j 2 π N Kn
From formula as can be seen, the characteristics of FFT conversion are exactly that the signal energy that is calculated mainly concentrates on the frequency deviation place, therefore DC component has been retained near the zero-frequency, and other interference signal frequency can with the received signal frequency isolation, guarantee to enter the power that calculates in the baseband processor just in the available signal power at frequency deviation place, and do not comprised the power of other interference signal and unwanted signal.
Particularly, the present invention is on the basis that does not change Fig. 1 tradition receiver system hardware configuration, use FFT (the Fast Fourier Transform Algorithm of radio-frequency transmitter inside (baseband processor part), fast fourier transform) computing module carries out the frequency domain power calculation to the digital baseband signal that is input in the baseband processor, obtain removing the baseband signal available power of interference signal, and obtain actual receiver gain further, thereby generate the AGC calibration chart that radio-frequency transmitter uses under normal mode of operation.
For this reason, the invention provides a kind of AGC calibration table generating method, Fig. 2 is the flow chart that the radio-frequency transmitter of a preferred embodiment of the present invention generates calibration chart, as shown in Figure 2, radio-frequency transmitter is operated under the calibration mode, at first set the receiver gain control word sequence A GC_code (i) of radio-frequency transmitter and the power sequence Px_Power_REF (i) (step 201) of calibrating signal, described each receiver gain control word has the power of a corresponding calibrating signal.
Here need to choose the number of the receiving gain control word of radio-frequency transmitter according to actual conditions, the number of considering the gain controlling word is many more, its projection accuracy is high more, also extended simultaneously and calibrated and searched the time complexity of calibration chart, therefore in fact, choosing method is to compromise between the deduction precision of radio-frequency transmitter alignment time and dc shift.According to the number of the receiving gain control word of choosing, thereby obtain a receiving gain control word sequence A GC_code (i), i gets 1,2 here ..., N.
Preferably, described calibrating signal is sinusoidal wave, and with carrier frequency f cCertain frequency deviation f is arranged Cali, described calibrating signal both can be launched by outside source, also can be launched by the built-in signal transmitter unit of radio-frequency transmitter self, and be received by the signal receiving unit of receiver self.
Among the present invention, when setting the power sequence of calibrating signal, consider the watt level of the signal that actual reception arrives, take into account all possible actual signal power scope all sidedly as far as possible, thereby can be under the mode of operation of receiver, for actual reception to signal suitable gain is provided.
Then according to the calibrating signal power sequence of setting in the step 201, change calibrating signal power P x_Power_REF (i) (step 202) successively, here i from 1 to N, the calibrating signal of different capacity is received machine and carries out converting baseband signal to and being input to (step 203) in the baseband processor after the passage processing.Passage described here is handled, after referring to that radio-frequency transmitter receives described calibrating signal, after low noise amplifier (LNA) amplifies isolation and band pass filter (BPF) filtering, with signal (LO) mixing of shaking of the two-part code of quadrature each other, produce homophase and quadrature two-way baseband signal respectively, channel is selected and gain adjustment is finished by low pass filter (LPF) and variable gain amplifier (VGA), because radio-frequency transmitter is under the calibration mode, therefore baseband processor only provides coarse gain control signal to VGA, the analog baseband signal that produces after the VGA amplifying signal passes through analog to digital converter (ADC) again and carries out converting digital baseband signal to and exporting to baseband processor after analog-to-digital conversion and the sampling at last.
Then, baseband processor is carried out receiver gain calculating (step 204) to the digital baseband signal of input.Baseband processor part in the radio-frequency transmitter generally all has FFT (fast fourier transform) module, such as, in the OFDM demodulator (OFDM) that baseband signal is handled that in radio-frequency transmitter, usually adopts, just has the FFT module, therefore can utilize the FFT module in the radio-frequency transmitter existing structure, digital baseband signal is carried out the frequency domain power calculation.The effect of FFT module is that the data of will sample transform from the time domain to frequency domain, and therefore when digital power of baseband signal was handled, as can be known, it was f that the energy of digital baseband signal mainly concentrates on frequency shift (FS) CaliThe place can directly filter DC component and interference signal, therefore uses the FFT module to obtain accurately at frequency deviation f CaliThe available signal power at place, thus receiver gain accurately can be obtained.
In above-mentioned steps 204, the radio-frequency transmitter gain mainly is that the available signal power after the FFT module is calculated draws according to calibrating signal power of setting and correspondence, particularly, radio-frequency transmitter gain A GC_Gain (i) is the difference of the calibrating signal power Rx_Power_REF (i) and the available signal power Rx_Power_FFT (i) after the FFT module is calculated of setting, be AGC_Gain (i)=Rx_Power_FFT (i)-Rx_Power_REF (i)+C, wherein C is a fixed constant, and this constant is used for changing actual radio-frequency transmitter gain.
The above-mentioned calibrating signal with different capacity value to setting successively receives, changes, calculates available power etc., whole (steps 205,206) in the calibrating signal power sequence of finishing setting.As shown in the above, the one-to-one relationship that the calibrating signal sequence of gain controlling word sequence and setting, the available power sequence of calculating through FFT at last and the radio-frequency transmitter gain sequence that calculates have, thus draw the corresponding relation of following table 1:
Table 1
Receiver gain control word Set calibrating signal power Calibrating signal Power arithmetic value Receiver gain
AGC_Code(1) Rx_Power_REF(1) Rx_Power_FFT(1) AGC_Gain(1)
AGC_Code(2) Rx_Power_REF(2) Rx_Power_FFT(2) AGC_Gain(2)
AGC_Code(N) Rx_Power_REF(N) Rx_Power_FFT(N) AGC_Gain(N)
