Embodiment
Now in conjunction with the embodiments and conjunction with figs. describe apparatus and method of the present invention in detail.
As shown in Figure 2, the structural representation for stable base station power output device one embodiment of the present invention comprises transmitter, baseband processing module (105) and gain calculating control module (106).
Described transmitter is made up of transceiver module (101), mixer (102), power amplifier (103), duplexer (104).Wherein transceiver module is the digital-to-analogue mixing module; the inside comprises the D/A change-over circuit; the transceiver module output connects mixer; mixer closes the road to signal and handles after power amplifier exports duplexer to; also be connected with power-sensing circuit between power amplifier and the duplexer, power-sensing circuit can detect power output and report to gain calculating control module (106).
Described baseband processing module (105) is handled back input transmitter transceiver module to input signal, the power calculation that it comprised with regulate submodule and have in numeric field signal calculated power and function that signal power is regulated, input signal power reports to the gain calculating control module by baseband processing module.
Described gain calculating control module (106) is according to the input that receives, the gain that power output calculates transmission channel, and compares with the standard gain, sends corresponding regulating command according to comparative result.
Utilize the device of the stable base station power output that present embodiment provides to realize the purpose that power output is controlled, concrete control procedure is: before the base station entered normal operating conditions, the gain of proofreading and correct each transceiver module respectively was to standard value; After the startup base station entered normal operating condition, the gain of transceiver channel was regulated in circulation in real time.
A common transceiver module (101) can only be handled a carrier wave, and a power amplifier module (103) then can be handled a plurality of carrier waves.So can exist the output signal of a plurality of transceiver modules (101) is closed after the road handles (102), deliver to a power amplifier module (103) and amplify output.Like this, will occur between several transmission channels, existing common sparing is also by independent parts separately.Before operate as normal, the gain difference between the independent parts between each transmission channel must be corrected.The method of proofreading and correct is exactly that each transmission channel is corrected to the standard gain separately, and this process is also referred to as the initial gain trimming process, and its purpose is to eliminate gain intrinsic between each transmission channel.Then, after the base station enters normal operating conditions, the gain fluctuation of circulation real-time regulated transmission channel, this process also can be called the normal correction process, and its purpose is the gain fluctuation that factors such as compensation temperature and module wear out cause.
As shown in Figure 3, the initial gain correcting process is described as follows:
1. select and import target transmission channel to be corrected;
2. close other transmission channels, in order to avoid cause interference;
3. startup test signal, generally speaking, the power output of test signal is fixed, and is made as Pi;
4. utilize power-sensing circuit to detect the power output of power amplifier, be made as Po, power output is reported the gain calculating control module;
5. the gain calculating control module is calculated the gain G=Po-Pi of transmission channel, and with the standard gain G o of passage relatively, gain error E=G-Go.
6. judge gain error whether in error range, error range is 0.5dB-1dB generally speaking, if, just think that channel gain is normal, go to the adjustment that step 1 is carried out next transmission channel then; Otherwise, just need adjust the gain of passage;
7., such as the high xdB that gains than standard, adjust the gain adjustment circuit of transceiver module (101), with its gain decline xdB if gain error exceeds critical field; Otherwise if than the low xdB of standard gain, so just the gain with transceiver module (101) improves xdB;
8. return step 5, detect again, calculate and relatively gain;
9. judge whether the transmission channel that is still waiting to proofread and correct, if, return step 1, otherwise, beginning normal correction flow process.
After the module on each start or the replacing transmission channel, at first the transmission channel that needs are proofreaied and correct carries out the initial gain correction, up to the error of the actual gain of all transmission channels and standard gain within the standard error scope, proofread and correct through initial gain, the inherent variability of each transmission channel is just proofreaied and correct and is finished.After the operate as normal of base station, the normal gain correcting process of the transmission channel that just brings into operation is with the fluctuation of compensation temperature and the aging transmission channel gain that causes of module.
As shown in Figure 4, the normal correction process description is as follows:
1. after the operate as normal of base station, system start-up normal gain correcting process;
Baseband processing module (105) numeric field calculate be input to each transceiver module (101-1,101-2 ...) signal power, and calculate all power sums;
3. power-sensing circuit detects power output simultaneously, is made as Po ', and reports to the gain calculating control module;
4. gain calculating control module (106) is calculated the actual gain G '=Po '-Pi ' of radio-frequency channel, and compares with standard gain G o;
5. if G '=Go, then system does not do gain adjustment, goes to step 2 and directly enters correcting process next time, otherwise continue;
6. if G '>Go, gain calculating control module (106) is just indicated baseband processing module (105) so, with all power decreasings that is input to the signal of transceiver module (101-1,101-2...), following tone pitch can be set according to actual conditions, for example 0.1dB at numeric field.If instead G '<Go then will improve input signal power;
7. return step 2 and enter correcting process next time.
The real time output of general base station has fluctuation, the scope of fluctuation is relevant with the quantity of user terminal and distance etc., in order to improve correction accuracy, when base band is calculated input power in the step 2, get the mean value of all input signals in each transceiver module Δ t time, then mean value is summed up computing, be made as Pi ', it is reported gain calculating and control module (106).Also can do similar processing to output signal, power-sensing circuit (103) is also in the Δ t time, its power output of repeated detection, after doing on average, be made as Po ', it is reported gain calculating and control module (106), and the gain calculating control module is calculated actual gain with power average value, can realize higher control precision.
The normal correction flow process is the circulation real time execution, just proofreaies and correct once at regular intervals.Because it all is gradualization that temperature, module wear out, can not undergo mutation, so the time interval of proofreading and correct needn't be too fast.When normal correction, the gain error that no matter calculates has much, and gain calculating control module indication baseband processing module carries out small accurate adjustment to input signal, for example regulates 0.1dB.Reason is the error that power amplifier simulation detection produces, and may cause bigger gain calculating error, but not actual error is regulated 0.1dB at every turn and just can be avoided the influence of this error of calculation to cor-rection loop.
In sum, initial gain is proofreaied and correct " initial adjustment " process that can be regarded as, and it then is " accurate adjustment " process that normal gain is proofreaied and correct.The residual error of initial gain trimming process still can further be proofreaied and correct in the normal correction process.
Compare with the prior art scheme, this programme has following advantage:
1. the input signal power of transmission channel is by calculating at numeric field, and computational accuracy is very high, and It doesn't matter with signal large and small;
2. each transmission channel input power sum also is to be calculated at numeric field by baseband processing module, can not Produce accumulated error;
3. regulate the power of input signal at numeric field, come the gain of compensate for emission passage, compensation precision can Reach 0.1dB;
4. whole cor-rection loop 1 wave detector only provides cost savings greatly.
