And if the power amplifier determines that the power supply voltage is smaller than the power supply voltage threshold value or the power supply current is smaller than the power supply current threshold value, the power amplifier determines that the power amplifier is in a power amplification state.
In other embodiments of the present application, after the power amplifier determines the operating state of the power amplifier according to the state parameter, the operating state is stored in a register of the power amplifier, or a level parameter of a pin of the power amplifier is set according to the operating state, so that the radio transceiver reads a value of the register or the level parameter of the pin to obtain the operating state of the power amplifier.
In the embodiment of the present application, after the power amplifier determines the operating state of the power amplifier according to the state parameter, the operating state is stored in a register of the power amplifier, so that the radio transceiver reads a value of the register to obtain the operating state of the power amplifier.

In one case, the power amplifier is in a protection state, and the level parameter of the pin of the power amplifier is set to be a high level; the power amplifier is in a power amplification state, and the level parameter of the pin of the power amplifier is set to be a low level. In another case, the power amplifier is in a protection state, and the level parameter of the pin of the power amplifier is set to be a low level; the power amplifier is in a power amplification state, and the level parameter of the pin of the power amplifier is set to be a high level.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, the radio transceiver may also obtain the operating state of the power amplifier by reading a value of a register of the power amplifier or a level parameter of a pin of the power amplifier.
S404, the radio transceiver receives the target transmitting power fed back by the power coupler.
The target transmission power is the transmission power of the radio-frequency signal which is obtained by inputting the amplified radio-frequency signal to the power coupler and coupling the radio-frequency signal to the antenna through the power coupler after the radio-frequency signal is amplified by the power amplifier.
In the embodiment of the application, after a radio frequency signal is generated by a radio transceiver, the radio frequency signal is input to a power amplifier, the radio frequency signal is amplified by the power amplifier, the amplified radio frequency signal is input to a power coupler, the transmission power output to an antenna through the power coupler is output, a part of power is coupled out by a coupling coefficient and is used as target transmission power, and the target transmission power is fed back to the radio transceiver.
Here, the transmission power output to the antenna through the power coupler, with a coupling coefficient to couple out a part of the power as a target transmission power, may be implemented by a Power Detect (PDET) path. The PDET path connects the power coupler and the radio transceiver, couples a part of the transmission power of the radio frequency signal out at the coupling end as a target transmission power, and transmits the target transmission power to the radio transceiver through the PDET path between the power coupler and the radio transceiver.

In this embodiment of the present application, the S405 radio transceiver adjusts the output power based on the operating state and the target transmission power, and obtains the adjusted output power, which may be implemented as follows:
if the power amplifier is in a protection state, the output power of the radio frequency signal output by the radio transceiver is adjusted to be equal to the target output power. The target output power is the output power when the radio transceiver corresponding to the target transmitting power outputs the radio frequency signal.
In the embodiment of the application, the working state that the radio transceiver receives the signal sent by the power amplifier is that the power amplifier is in a protection state, and the output power of the radio frequency signal output by the radio transceiver is adjusted to be equal to the output power of the radio transceiver corresponding to the target transmitting power when the radio frequency signal is output by the radio transceiver; that is, after the radio transceiver determines that the power amplifier is in the protection state, the radio transceiver does not adjust the output power of the rf signal according to the target transmission power fed back by the power coupler, i.e., the output power of the radio transceiver is kept unchanged.
If the power amplifier is in a power amplification state, the output power is adjusted based on the target transmitting power and the transmitting power threshold value, and the adjusted output power is obtained.
In other embodiments of the present application, adjusting the output power based on the target transmit power and the transmit power threshold to obtain an adjusted output power includes:
and if the target transmitting power is smaller than the transmitting power threshold, improving the output power to obtain the improved output power. And if the target transmitting power is larger than the transmitting power threshold, reducing the output power to obtain the reduced output power. Wherein the adjusted output power includes an increased output power and a decreased output power.
In the embodiment of the application, when the power of the antenna port is smaller than the transmitting power threshold value, which is obtained by calculating according to the target transmitting power fed back by the radio transceiver, the radio transceiver improves the output power of the radio frequency signal; when the power of the antenna port is calculated to be larger than the threshold value of the transmitting power according to the fed back target transmitting power, the radio transceiver reduces the output power of the radio frequency signal; in this way, it is ensured that the power that eventually reaches the antenna port corresponds to the expected power.
In one practical application scenario, referring to fig. 5, the wireless communication rf front-end circuit at least includes a radio transceiver 10, a power amplifier 20, a power coupler (coupler)30 and an antenna 40, but may also include a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) 50 and a Duplexer (Duplexer) 60. Where LNA50 is used in the receive path to increase the noise figure of the link and thus increase sensitivity. The duplexer 60 is used for filtering the amplified radio frequency signal. Fig. 5 illustrates an alternative wireless communication rf front-end circuit for implementing the power adjustment method provided in the present application.
In one case, if the power amplifier is in a power amplification state, the radio transceiver determines that the power amplifier is in a normal operation state, the radio transceiver 10 of the radio transceiver 10 generates a radio frequency signal TX with a certain power, the radio frequency signal TX enters the power amplifier 20 through the output of a driving amplifier in the radio transceiver 10 to be amplified, the amplified radio frequency signal is filtered by the duplexer 60 and then reaches the common end of the duplexer, and the amplified radio frequency signal is output to the antenna 40 through the power coupler 30 to be transmitted to a space. Here, the power coupler outputs the transmission power to the antenna, and a part of the power is coupled out as a target transmission power with a coupling coefficient, and the power coupler 30 feeds back the target transmission power to the radio transceiver 10 through the PDET path. At this time, the radio transceiver 10 adjusts the output power of the radio frequency signal generated by the radio transceiver 10 according to the power fed back.
In another case, if the power amplifier is in a protection state, the radio transceiver 10 generates a radio frequency signal TX with a certain power by the radio transceiver 10, and the radio frequency signal TX enters the power amplifier 20 through the output of the driving amplifier in the radio transceiver 10 to be processed, the processed radio frequency signal is filtered by the duplexer 60 and then reaches the common end of the duplexer, and then is output to the antenna 40 through the power coupler 30, and then the radio frequency signal is transmitted to the space. Here, the power coupler outputs the transmission power to the antenna, and a part of the power is coupled out as a target transmission power with a coupling coefficient, and the power coupler 30 feeds back the target transmission power to the radio transceiver 10 through the PDET path. At this time, the radio transceiver 10 does not adjust the output power of the radio frequency signal generated by the radio transceiver 10 according to the power fed back, i.e. the output power of the radio frequency signal output by the radio transceiver 10 is kept unchanged. When the power supply voltage or current of the power amplifier 20 returns to the set safety threshold, that is, the power amplifier 20 switches from the protection state to the power amplification state, and simultaneously, the switching of the working state is fed back to the wireless point transceiver 10, and when the wireless point transceiver 10 receives the information that the transceiver receives that the power amplifier 20 is in the power amplification state, the wireless point transceiver further feeds back and adjusts the normal mode of power output according to the target transmitting power; therefore, when the power amplifier enters the self-protection working state, the working state of the power amplifier is timely fed back to the radio transceiver, the radio transceiver further protects the power amplifier from the system side, and the power amplifier is prevented from being damaged due to overlarge output power of the radio transceiver when the power amplifier enters the self-protection state.
