Background technology
GSM mobile handset develops into now, is used by thousands of user.The standard of GSM use TDMA is carried out communication, in transmitting power, also is with the problem of serving EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).International and domestic all have a strict requirement to this, wherein just comprised spuious requirement.
Producing spuious interference source has a variety ofly, and wherein a kind of common interference source produces by transmitter is inner, is entrained in the afterbody of useful signal sequence, and its amplitude far exceeds the requirement of EMC.For example, in the GSM solution of this single-chip of SI4901 that uses NXP, the transmitter of the transceiver that SI4901 is inner integrated just has band stray output.For with in this spuious scope that is suppressed to required standard, normally utilize radio-frequency power amplifier (hereinafter to be referred as power amplifier) that signal is processed, this has just proposed very high requirement to the forward direction isolation of power amplifier.
For the design of GSM mobile handset cheaply, usually can't satisfy the requirement of above-mentioned forward direction isolation for power amplifier, common solution is to adjust the sequential of transmitter now, and band stray is closed through out-of-date power amplifier passage.But for relative some the more nervous low side baseband processing chip of resource, such as SI4901, this method of in the emission control sequential of regulation, the transmission envelop time being delayed, because realizing that the time that takies other functional modules in the engineering can cause the decline of handset capability, as the results such as button is slow in reacting appear.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, but the invention provides a kind of method of simple, general establishment transmitter band stray.
A kind of method that suppresses band stray is characterized in that: by changing the control magnitude of voltage of power amplifier, substitute the pre-thermal voltage of power amplifier.
The control magnitude of voltage of described change power amplifier is with compensating to the preheating magnitude of voltage less than the preheating magnitude of voltage in the initial value of control voltage.
Described control voltage initial value is Vramp UP tabular value.
The control magnitude of voltage of described change power amplifier is to realize by the change to the register relevant parameter.
The invention provides a kind of method of curb transmitter band stray, the method is by changing the control magnitude of voltage of power amplifier, substitute the pre-thermal voltage of power amplifier, avoided power amplifier that the pre-thermal voltage owing to sustainable existence causes to the scale-up problem of band stray, improved the performance of transmitter, and implementation procedure only need change some firmware parameters, and is simple to operate, need not to increase or any hardware of upgrading, and saved cost, reduced workload.

Embodiment
This specific embodiment selects the SI4901 chip of NXP as development platform, its inner integrated transceiver after the signal demand of its transmitter emission carries out power amplification via the external radio frequency amplifier, is gone out by aerial radiation again, communicate with the base station, as shown in Figure 1.
In this emission process, guarantee that the precondition of power amplifier normal operation is: need to be before power amplifier be opened, power amplifier is added at least low-voltage of 0.2V of one of needss, to the power amplifier preheating, this time need continue about 12us, as shown in Figure 2.Otherwise, if provide suddenly the amplifier magnification ratio control voltage (hereinafter to be referred as Vramp) that the volt value is higher, will cause the power amplifier rising edge that an impact is arranged, spectrum exceeds standard or surplus is too little and cause switching.Rising edge and trailing edge when GB is worked to power amplifier have clear and definite restriction, as shown in Figure 3.
This platform of SI4901 is in strict accordance with the sequential of each state of normalized definition of GSM: at first give a high level to power amplifier and enable, then provide one group of magnitude of voltage to open VRAMP, give afterwards a high level and enable to open duplexer.The required 0.2V voltage of aforesaid power amplifier preheating, the opening and closing of power amplifier in this process, have been run through, and between the time of transmitter output signal between the switching of power amplifier, this has just caused the forward direction isolation of power amplifier to reduce, band stray with transmitter output has amplified on the contrary, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
In the GSM platform of this single-chip of NXP, the pre-thermal voltage of this power amplifier is by realizing in " txVrampMin " parameter of NVRam the inside definition, and is as shown in the table:

By like this to the change of register parameters, can see that actual Vramp waveform shown in Figure 6 compares with Fig. 2, before Vramp rises, still the have an appointment magnitude of voltage of 140mV of 11.8us, satisfied power amplifier preheating needs, and after the trailing edge of Vramp, then be that a smooth curve is to 0V voltage, do not have step, do not have the phenomenon of again band stray being amplified.Measure again the band stray of power amplifier output this time, reached extraordinary inhibition, as shown in Figure 7.
Above method is applied to the SI4904/5 platform of NXP, also can obtain effect same.
