The passive intermodulation signal detection method for a fiber-optic repeater comprises: when a detection starting signal is detected, generating a training sequence and a test signal; inputting the training sequence and the test signal into a peak cancellation factor unit at the same time, stopping inputting a baseband signal, and performing downlink processing until the training sequence and the test signal reach a duplexer; acquiring, at the duplexer, a passive intermodulation signal generated by the test signal, and performing uplink processing until the passive intermodulation signal reaches a digital down-conversion unit; and calculating power of a zero intermediate frequency signal obtained after being processed by the digital down-conversion unit, so as to acquire a detection result. Said method can accurately calculate a non-linear index of an external passive device by means of an algorithm inside an fiber-optic repeater, without the need of changing hardware, thereby improving the installation quality and the efficiency of positioning a faulty passive device in engineering applications.

背景技术Background technique
无源互调指两个或两个以上频率成分的信号通过无源器件(如同轴电缆、连接器、天线、负载等)产生除谐波外新频率成分的一种现象。在大功率系统中,由于大功率特性,传统的无源线性器件产生较强的非线性效应,从而产生一组新的频率如(PIM3,PIM5等),若这些杂散的PIM信号落在接收频段内,且功率超过系统中有用信号的最小幅度,就会使接收机的灵敏度降低,影响上行吞吐率和射频模块的小区覆盖,进而导致无线通信系统的系统容量减少。Passive intermodulation refers to a phenomenon in which signals with two or more frequency components pass through passive components (such as coaxial cables, connectors, antennas, loads, etc.) to generate new frequency components in addition to harmonics. In high-power systems, due to the high-power characteristics, traditional passive linear devices produce strong nonlinear effects, resulting in a new set of frequencies such as (PIM3, PIM5, etc.). If these spurious PIM signals fall on the receiver In the frequency band, and the power exceeds the minimum amplitude of the useful signal in the system, the sensitivity of the receiver will be reduced, the uplink throughput rate and the cell coverage of the radio frequency module will be affected, and the system capacity of the wireless communication system will be reduced.
传统的大功率的移动数字光纤直放站系统,都不具备检测无源器件互调值的能力。在设备出厂后,由于连接线、天线、负载等外置无源器件的非线性,会产生较高的互调值进入到上行接收通道,导致直放站系统的上行接收能力恶化。但是依靠现有手段,工程人员只能挨个盲目替换天线器件、耦合器、负载,甚至替换设备,希望以此定位具体原因,花费大量的时间精力,解决问题效率低下。The traditional high-power mobile digital optical fiber repeater system does not have the ability to detect the intermodulation value of passive components. After the equipment leaves the factory, due to the non-linearity of external passive components such as connecting lines, antennas, and loads, high intermodulation values will enter the upstream receiving channel, resulting in the deterioration of the upstream receiving capability of the repeater system. However, relying on existing methods, engineers can only blindly replace antenna components, couplers, loads, and even replacement equipment one by one, hoping to locate specific causes, spend a lot of time and energy, and solve problems with low efficiency.

图1是传统的数字光纤直放站的结构图。数字光纤直放站10包括近端机110和远端机120。其中近端机110与基站91耦合,从基站91获取下行数据。远端机120通过光纤130与近端机110连接,从近端机110获取下行数据,在下行链路122中将数据进行处理后通过天线140向外发射。远端机120还通过天线140接收客户端的信号,在上行链路124中进行处理后,通过光纤130传输给近端机110。近端机110将接收到的上行数据发送给基站91。Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a traditional digital optical fiber repeater. The digital optical fiber repeater 10 includes a near-end machine 110 and a far-end machine 120. The near-end machine 110 is coupled with the base station 91, and obtains downlink data from the base station 91. The remote machine 120 is connected to the near-end machine 110 through an optical fiber 130, obtains downlink data from the near-end machine 110, processes the data in the downlink 122 and transmits it to the outside through the antenna 140. The remote machine 120 also receives the client's signal through the antenna 140, processes it in the uplink 124, and transmits it to the near-end machine 110 through the optical fiber 130. The near-end machine 110 sends the received uplink data to the base station 91.
数据下行时,如图1所示,近端机110耦合基站91的射频信号,经过双工器111、声表滤波器112、增益器件113等作用后,然后再通过到混频器114和中频滤波器115后,进入 模数转换芯片116进行模数转换。模数转换后得到的数字信号通过FPGA芯片进行数字下变频117处理,转换为零中频的基带信号,再通过同相正交数据处理单元118压缩、数据重新逻辑处理,在通用公共无线电接口单元119中打包成通用公共无线电接口(CPRI)协议数据格式,然后通过SERDES接口数据并串转化,再通过光模块将电信号转化成光信号通过光纤130进行光纤传输。When data is downlinked, as shown in Figure 1, the near-end machine 110 couples the radio frequency signal of the base station 91, passes through the duplexer 111, the SAW filter 112, the gain device 113, etc., and then passes to the mixer 114 and the intermediate frequency After the filter 115, it enters the analog-to-digital conversion chip 116 for analog-to-digital conversion. The digital signal obtained after the analog-to-digital conversion is processed by the FPGA chip for digital down-conversion 117, converted into a zero-IF baseband signal, and then compressed by the in-phase quadrature data processing unit 118, and the data is re-logically processed in the general public radio interface unit 119 It is packaged into a common public radio interface (CPRI) protocol data format, and then the data is converted in parallel through the SERDES interface, and then the electrical signal is converted into an optical signal through the optical module for optical fiber transmission through the optical fiber 130.
如图1所示,远端机120中的FPGA芯片将串行信号从SERDES接口恢复出来,再通过解析CPRI协议、逻辑处理以及解压缩,恢复出需要处理的基带信号;FPGA芯片再对基带信号进行数字上变频(DUC)的处理,再通过波峰因子消减处理(CFR)和数字预失真处理(DPD),并通过数模转换芯片将数字信号转变为模拟信号;并且经过混频、滤波,输出射频信号到功放模块进行信号放大输出。As shown in Figure 1, the FPGA chip in the remote machine 120 recovers the serial signal from the SERDES interface, and then recovers the baseband signal that needs to be processed by parsing the CPRI protocol, logic processing, and decompression; the FPGA chip then recovers the baseband signal Perform digital up-conversion (DUC) processing, then pass crest factor reduction processing (CFR) and digital pre-distortion processing (DPD), and convert digital signals to analog signals through digital-to-analog conversion chips; and after mixing, filtering, and output The radio frequency signal is sent to the power amplifier module for signal amplification and output.
上行链路:无线信号由远端机120的天线140接收,在远端机120经低噪声放大、射频增益器件等信号放大后,通过混频器进行数字下变频,再进行中频滤波,进入到模数转换(ADC);经过数模变换后,FPGA芯片对其进行数字下变频处理,其数据处理方式,设计方式与下行链路122一致;FPGA芯片对基带信号进行压缩以及CPRI组帧处理后,通过内置SERDES接口发送到光口,再通过光纤连接到近端机110;近端机110处理上行的机制与其处理下行的机制为逆变换,这里不再做赘述。Uplink: The wireless signal is received by the antenna 140 of the remote unit 120. After the remote unit 120 is amplified by low-noise amplification and RF gain devices, it is digitally down-converted through the mixer, and then filtered by the intermediate frequency. Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC); after digital-to-analog conversion, the FPGA chip performs digital down-conversion processing, and its data processing method and design method are consistent with the downlink 122; after the FPGA chip compresses the baseband signal and processes the CPRI framing , Sent to the optical port through the built-in SERDES interface, and then connected to the near-end machine 110 through an optical fiber; the mechanism of the near-end machine 110 for processing the uplink and the mechanism for processing the downlink is the inverse transformation, which will not be repeated here.
如图2所示,近端机210与基站92耦合,远端机220和近端机210通过光纤连接。该方式与传统技术相同。为实现对光纤直放站的无源互调信号的检测,远端机220的下行链路222中输入训练序列和测试信号,同时在上行链路224中对因此而产生的无源互调信号进行功率计算以获得检测结果。As shown in FIG. 2, the near-end machine 210 is coupled with the base station 92, and the remote machine 220 and the near-end machine 210 are connected by an optical fiber. This method is the same as traditional technology. In order to realize the detection of the passive intermodulation signal of the optical fiber repeater, the training sequence and the test signal are input in the downlink 222 of the remote machine 220, and the passive intermodulation signal thus generated is detected in the uplink 224 at the same time. Perform power calculations to obtain test results.
结合图2和图3,一种光纤直放站的无源互调信号的检测方法包括以下步骤:With reference to Figures 2 and 3, a method for detecting passive intermodulation signals of an optical fiber repeater includes the following steps:
S100:当检测到检测开启信号时,生成训练序列和测试信号。所述检测开启信号用于指示系统开始进行无源互调信号的检测,可以由界面开关产生,也可以是在系统上电自检时产生。所述训练序列提取自正常的宽带调制信号,用于对数字预失真处理(DPD)进行校准。根据目前DPD的校准技术,不加训练序列直接输入测试信号,会导致DPD异常,从而影响互调值的检测精度及范围。所述测试信号为正弦波信号。在一个实施例中,该测试信号为2组功率相同的恒包络窄带单音信号。S100: When the detection switch-on signal is detected, a training sequence and a test signal are generated. The detection start signal is used to instruct the system to start the detection of the passive intermodulation signal, and may be generated by an interface switch, or may be generated when the system is powered on and self-checked. The training sequence is extracted from a normal wideband modulated signal and used to calibrate the digital predistortion processing (DPD). According to the current DPD calibration technology, directly inputting the test signal without the training sequence will cause the DPD to be abnormal, thereby affecting the detection accuracy and range of the intermodulation value. The test signal is a sine wave signal. In one embodiment, the test signal is two sets of constant envelope narrowband single tone signals with the same power.
S200:将所述训练序列和所述测试信号同时输入波峰因子消减处理单元225(CFR),并停止基带信号的输入,经下行处理直至双工器。在测试开始之前,波峰因子消减处理单元225从数字上变频单元223获取经过数字上变频处理的基带信号,并且经过波峰因子消减处理后发送给数字预失真处理单元227。在测试开始之后,基带信号将不再输入到波峰因子消 减处理单元225,取而代之的是输入测试信号和训练序列。S200: Simultaneously input the training sequence and the test signal to the crest factor reduction processing unit 225 (CFR), and stop the input of the baseband signal, and perform downlink processing to the duplexer. Before the test starts, the crest factor reduction processing unit 225 obtains the digital up-conversion processing baseband signal from the digital up-conversion unit 223, and sends the crest factor reduction processing to the digital predistortion processing unit 227. After the start of the test, the baseband signal will no longer be input to the crest factor reduction processing unit 225, instead the test signal and training sequence will be input.
之后的下行处理包括通过数模转换芯片将数字信号转变为模拟信号;并且经过混频、滤波,输出射频信号到功放模块进行信号放大输出。由于无源器件的非线性效应,在双工器229的发射侧(TX_DUP)会产生一组无源互调信号,该无源互调信号刚好落入远端机220的上行带内,从而影响接收。The subsequent downstream processing includes converting the digital signal into an analog signal through a digital-to-analog conversion chip; and after mixing and filtering, the radio frequency signal is output to the power amplifier module for signal amplification and output. Due to the non-linear effect of passive components, a set of passive intermodulation signals will be generated on the transmitting side (TX_DUP) of the duplexer 229. The passive intermodulation signals just fall into the upstream band of the remote unit 220, thereby affecting receive.
S300:在所述双工器229处获取无源互调信号,并经上行处理直至数字下变频单元(DDC)。该无源互调信号即本申请要检测的系统各种原因导致的无源互调信号。由于该无源互调信号的频率落在上行带内,因此在双工器229的接收侧(RX_DUP)被接收到,其后会进行一系列的上行处理。S300: Obtain a passive intermodulation signal at the duplexer 229, and perform uplink processing to a digital down-conversion unit (DDC). The passive intermodulation signal is the passive intermodulation signal caused by various reasons of the system to be detected in this application. Since the frequency of the passive intermodulation signal falls within the uplink band, it is received on the receiving side (RX_DUP) of the duplexer 229, and then a series of uplink processing will be performed.
该上行处理包括低噪声放大、射频增益器件等信号放大后,通过混频器进行数字下变频,再进行中频滤波,进入到模数转换模块(ADC),然后进行数字下变频处理。从数字下变频处理单元输出的是零中频的基带信号。The upstream processing includes low-noise amplification, radio frequency gain devices and other signal amplification, digital down-conversion through the mixer, and then intermediate frequency filtering, enters the analog-to-digital conversion module (ADC), and then performs digital down-conversion processing. The output from the digital down-conversion processing unit is a zero-IF baseband signal.
S400:对经过所述数字下变频单元(DDC)处理的零中频的基带信号进行功率统计,以获得检测结果。信号在线性系统传输时,是成比例线性变化的,信号的谐波成分基本上不会影响基波。而当系统产生非线性的影响时,信号会变成由原来的基波和相应的谐波叠加而成,谐波将同传输线上的其他载波进行互调。进而产生了一些新的频率。当系统的功率足够大时,这些新频率的信号将不能被忽略。通过功率统计,可以获得无源互调信号的各频率成分的功率,从而获得该无源互调信号的特性,进而确定外接天线、负载等外接无源器件的非线性指标。S400: Perform power statistics on the zero-IF baseband signal processed by the digital down-conversion unit (DDC) to obtain a detection result. When the signal is transmitted in a linear system, it changes proportionally and linearly, and the harmonic components of the signal basically do not affect the fundamental wave. When the system has a nonlinear effect, the signal will become the superposition of the original fundamental wave and the corresponding harmonic, and the harmonic will be intermodulated with other carriers on the transmission line. In turn, some new frequencies were created. When the power of the system is large enough, the signals of these new frequencies cannot be ignored. Through power statistics, the power of each frequency component of the passive intermodulation signal can be obtained, thereby obtaining the characteristics of the passive intermodulation signal, and then determining the nonlinear index of the external passive components such as external antennas and loads.
在光纤直放站20的远端机220中,CPRI、IR、DUC、CRF、DPD等处理都是在FPGA中实现的。当系统提供训练序列和测试信号时,不需要更改硬件,依靠光纤直放站内部的算法,即可准确计算外接无源器件的非线性指标,提高工程应用中的安装质量及定位问题无源器件的效率。In the remote machine 220 of the optical fiber repeater 20, CPRI, IR, DUC, CRF, DPD and other processing are all implemented in FPGA. When the system provides training sequences and test signals, there is no need to change the hardware, relying on the internal algorithm of the fiber optic repeater, you can accurately calculate the nonlinear index of the external passive components, and improve the installation quality in engineering applications and locate the problem passive components s efficiency.
在一个实施例中,所述测试信号的功率和频点可调。测试信号的功率和频点可调,能使测试的灵活性提高。测试信号的功率和频点的调整在FPGA内通过算法进行调整。该调整可以读取预设的多种常用功率和频点配置,也可以是根据调试者的输入进行调整。In one embodiment, the power and frequency of the test signal are adjustable. The power and frequency of the test signal are adjustable, which can improve the flexibility of the test. The power and frequency of the test signal are adjusted by algorithms in the FPGA. This adjustment can read various preset common power and frequency point configurations, or it can be adjusted according to the debugger's input.
在一个实施例中,当所述测试信号的频点发生变化时,根据光纤直放站的工作中心频率自动计算所述无源互调信号的频点,并进行频点搬移。当所述测试信号和所述训练序列适用于900MHz频段时,则所述无源互调信号为5阶信号(PIM5);或者,当所述测试信号和所述训练序列适用于1800MHz频段时,则所述无源互调信号为7阶信号(PIM7)。对于900MHz频段,即自动计算PIM5无源互调信号的频点,然后将其搬移到零中频。搬移到零中频 可以方便进行低通滤波及后续的功率计算。In one embodiment, when the frequency point of the test signal changes, the frequency point of the passive intermodulation signal is automatically calculated according to the working center frequency of the optical fiber repeater, and the frequency point is shifted. When the test signal and the training sequence are applicable to the 900MHz frequency band, the passive intermodulation signal is a fifth-order signal (PIM5); or, when the test signal and the training sequence are applicable to the 1800MHz frequency band, Then the passive intermodulation signal is a 7th order signal (PIM7). For the 900MHz frequency band, the frequency point of the PIM5 passive intermodulation signal is automatically calculated, and then moved to the zero intermediate frequency. Moving to zero IF can facilitate low-pass filtering and subsequent power calculations.
测试信号的功率和频点可调,加上自动计算无源互调信号的频点并搬移,使得无源互调信号的检测灵活可控,且完全自动化进行,简单易行。The power and frequency of the test signal are adjustable, plus the automatic calculation and movement of the frequency of the passive intermodulation signal makes the detection of the passive intermodulation signal flexible and controllable, and fully automated, simple and easy.
在一个实施例中,如图4所示,所述对经过DDC处理的零中频信号进行处理和功率统计的步骤包括:In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the steps of processing and power statistics on the zero-IF signal after DDC processing include:
步骤S410:选频,获取目标频率的信号。由于可以自动计算PIM5或PIM7的频点,因此目标频率即是无源互调信号中的各频率成分。Step S410: frequency selection, and a signal of the target frequency is obtained. Since the frequency of PIM5 or PIM7 can be automatically calculated, the target frequency is the frequency components in the passive intermodulation signal.
步骤S420:滤波,对选频后的信号进行滤波,获取所述目标频率的窄带信号。在一个实施例中,采用梳状滤波器或有限长单位冲激响应(FIR)滤波器进行滤波抽取,提取出高于底噪部分的PIM5或PIM7的数字信号。采用这种滤波方式,可以在保证旁瓣衰减的前提下,减少乘法器的使用,节省FPGA的硬件资源。Step S420: filtering, filtering the frequency-selected signal to obtain the narrowband signal of the target frequency. In one embodiment, a comb filter or a finite-length unit impulse response (FIR) filter is used for filtering and extraction, and the digital signal of PIM5 or PIM7 that is higher than the noise floor is extracted. Using this filtering method can reduce the use of multipliers and save FPGA hardware resources while ensuring the attenuation of the sidelobes.
步骤S430:功率计算。计算得到的功率值即为当前无源器件产生的互调值。可以采用以下公式进行计算:Step S430: power calculation. The calculated power value is the intermodulation value generated by the current passive device. The following formula can be used for calculation:
无源互调值=Pt-Gmax-(Pout_max-3)Passive intermodulation value = Pt-Gmax-(Pout_max-3)
其中,Pt为上行互调频点实测输出功率,Gmax为上行最大增益,Pout_max为下行标称最大输出功率。Among them, Pt is the measured output power of the uplink intermodulation frequency point, Gmax is the maximum uplink gain, and Pout_max is the nominal maximum output power of the downlink.
