Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency units, in particular to a method and a system for calibrating a power amplifier of a radio frequency unit of a base station.
Background
Along with green energy conservation is more and more emphasized, in the field of wireless communication base stations, along with the orderly development of 5G, the problem of power consumption of the base stations is more and more concerned, and the trend of the green base stations is more and more obvious. For the equipment manufacturers, the source of the largest power consumption in the base station is the radio unit. How to effectively reduce the power consumption of the base station radio frequency unit becomes one of the core concerns of operators.
The macro base station is a mainstream device for outdoor coverage of the current radio frequency unit, and the total output power of each single-frequency-band radio frequency unit is different from 20W to 320W. Most of the power consumption of the radio frequency unit of the macro base station comes from the power amplifier, and taking a typical 5G base station as an example, the power consumption of the power amplifier accounts for about 70-90% of the overall power consumption of the radio frequency unit, so how to effectively reduce the power consumption of the power amplifier is one of the core competitiveness of equipment manufacturers.
The power amplifier of the macro base station radio frequency unit is a core module of the radio frequency unit, and has the function of amplifying power required by a corresponding radio frequency signal to a system and transmitting the power through an antenna. From the system requirements of the rf unit, the power amplifier must reach a peak power to ensure that the signal can be transmitted with a desired quality. Therefore, in designing a power amplifier, peak power is one of the criteria that must be achieved in terms of design. The peak power is related to the peak demand of the signal, and we use the peak-to-average ratio to represent the peak magnitude of the signal, i.e. the ratio of the peak power to the average power, in dB, typically 7.5dB.
The peak power and the power consumption of the power amplifier are inherently contradictory. The power amplifier is essentially a high-power triode, and the configuration parameter related to the triode is mainly the voltage of a base electrode: () And voltage of drain electrode: (). The higher the allowable range of the deviceWhich usually means a higher peak power,but power consumption of the power amplifierIn whichIs the current at the drain. Lifting ofWill bring higher power consumption: (Followed byUsually with little variation).
In the current power amplifier calibration, there are the following ways:
first basic calibration mode, determined by the designerAnd a preset static stateThen at the time of production setThen, adjust by adjusting DAC (Digital to Analog)To reach the target value of the drain voltage. And finally, recording the corresponding DAC value as the calibration value of the power amplifier, and storing the calibration value in a product database.
A second, further calibration, is performed by the designer to give the desired peak powerAdjusting for power amplifiers that do not meet peak power requirements by measuring peak power of the power amplifier after the basic calibration is completedAndto ensure that the peak power requirement is eventually met, the final parameters are determined.
These calibration methods mainly perform related optimization from the perspective of the power amplifier itself, and perform local optimization, but are not system optimization of the whole radio frequency unit.
Meanwhile, for the power amplifier, the device characteristics determine that the peak power of the power amplifier fluctuates greatly. Referring to fig. 1, a typical saturation power distribution diagram of an rf power amplifier is shown in fig. 1, which has a fluctuation range of about 1 dB. If the calibration is done from a power amplifier perspective only, there must be either larger devices used or a large yield loss must be tolerated.

Examples
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a calibration method for a power amplifier of a base station radio unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the application provides a calibration method of a base station radio frequency unit power amplifier, which comprises the following steps:
s110: responding to power-on initialization operation to finish initial power amplifier grid voltage calibration;

S160: measuring ACLR performance, judging whether the ACLR performance reaches the standard, if the ACLR performance reaches the standard, indicating that the calibration is finished, and simultaneously recording the current performanceA parameter;
for example, to determine whether ACLR performance is satisfactory may be determined by combining the actual power amplifier design and the fluctuation range of the factory device, a typical set of calibration references is shown in table 1 below:

Parameter(s) | Typical value | Remarks to note |
Vgmin | -4.5V | Gate voltage of peak power amplifier |
Vdmin | 44V | Typical high voltage power amplifier |
Cmax | 0.4 | Acceptable error range of output power |

s190: if adjustedValue satisfiesThen, the process returns to S120, if notIf so, the calibration fails.
It should be noted that, in the transmission link of the radio frequency unit, a power amplifier linearization technique, such as a DPD (digital predistortion) technique, is widely adopted to ensure an ACLR (adjacent channel leakage ratio) index of the transmission link; the parameters such as peak power of the power amplifier are not equivalent to the final ACLR index. Therefore, as for the overall performance of the rf unit, the performance related to the calibration of the pa is: output power accuracy, ACLR, and power consumption. Wherein, ACLR is a key index for measuring the nonlinear distortion of the whole radio frequency unit, and the ACLR is measured by power difference, and the unit is dB. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating a test result of an exemplary ACLR index according to an embodiment of the present invention. The specific ACLR index is X-Y1 (dB) on the left and X-Y2 (dB) on the right. In the overall performance of the radio frequency unit, the ACLR index performance is the final verification standard of the radio frequency performance of the power amplifier.
In the implementation process, when the method is used for calibrating the base station radio frequency unit power amplifier, firstly, the power is powered on for initialization, and initial power amplifier grid voltage calibration is completed.

If the ACLR performance reaches the standard, the calibration is finished, and the current performance is recordedAnd on the contrary, if the ACLR performance does not reach the standard, proper steps are selected for combined test to finish calibration, and the calibration method absorbs the device uncertainty of the power amplifier, thereby indirectly ensuring that a device with lower power can be selected when the power amplifier is selected, and reducing the cost. On the premise of meeting the accuracy of output power, the method takes the ACLR and the power consumption as calibration targets, and simultaneously considers the time cost of actual production calibration and the error of measurementAnd selecting proper steps to carry out combined test, and then making a judgment according to a combined test result to finish calibration. The aim of forming a global optimization calibration scheme by taking yield improvement, cost reduction and power consumption reduction as targets based on the overall requirements of the radio frequency unit is fulfilled, and therefore the competitiveness of products is improved.
In the calibration process, the power amplifier of the radio frequency unit is usually a Doherty power amplifier, which is divided into an average power amplifier and a peak power amplifier, and the peak power amplifier is recommended to be adjusted in the calibration processTo do soIs common to both the average and peak power amplifiers. Without adjusting the average power amplifierOn the one hand, the time for calibration is reduced, and on the other hand, the peak output capability of the overall power amplifier is basically dependent on the peak power amplifier.
