Description

Identifying inverse characteristic of nonlinear system device and method, power amplifier and predistorter thereof
Technical field
The nonlinear power amplifier that uses in the transmitter of relate generally to non linear system, particularly nonlinear power amplifier, especially wireless communication system of the present invention (such as base station and travelling carriage).More particularly; The present invention relates to the especially power amplification device of identifying inverse characteristic apparatus and method, power amplifier pre-distortion device and the use identifying inverse characteristic of nonlinear system device and the predistorter of nonlinear power amplifier of non linear system; It mainly utilizes digital technology to realize predistortion in base band, to remedy the memoryless nonlinear characteristic and the memory characteristic of non-linear benefit power amplifier.
Background technology
As typical case's representative of non linear system, power amplifier is the important component part of a lot of electronic equipments, and it can amplify the faint signal of telecommunication, to satisfy the needs of remote transmission.Wherein, the energy of amplification comes from DC power supply, and promptly power amplifier can be converted into AC signal with dc energy.
According to the physical characteristic of power amplifier, along with the power of input signal is ascending, the input signal of reflection power amplifier can be divided into linear zone, inelastic region and saturation region with the characteristic curve of the power relation of output signal.Fig. 1 illustrates the non-linear input/output signal characteristic of power amplifier PA.At input signal V INThe zone that amplitude is less, the output V of power amplifier PA OUTAlmost be input signal V INLinear amplification, but along with input signal V INThe increase of amplitude, the nonlinear characteristic of power amplifier PA are obviously to the last saturated gradually.This non-linear behavior is on frequency domain, because the intermodulation effect, video stretching appears outward in the band of the signal that is exaggerated, and then occurs distortion in the band, and is as shown in Figure 2, shown by the caused video stretching of nonlinear power amplifier.
Under the ideal situation, hope that power amplifier only plays the effect of linear amplification, promptly exporting signal is the simple linear amplification of input signal, therefore lets power amplifier be operated in linear zone.But this moment, power amplifier was very low with the efficient that direct current signal converts AC signal into, caused the waste of significant amount of energy, and needed to increase extra heat dissipation equipment.
Therefore; On the one hand in order to improve the efficient of power amplifier; On the other hand because the signal in a lot of Modern Communication System all has very big dynamic range (peak-to-average power ratio), so power amplifier often need the work in the inelastic region, thereby the distortion that causes exporting signal is (on frequency domain; The outer video stretching that then occurs of band distortion appears) in the band.In power amplifier field, only receive the distortion of the nonlinear power amplifier that current input influences to be called the memoryless nonlinear characteristic of power amplifier this current output usually.
In numerous methods that overcome the non-linearity of power amplifier characteristic, base band predistortion is a kind of method that receives much concern.As shown in Figure 3, the sketch map of the input/output signal characteristic of the power amplifier pre-distortion device that is used to offset nonlinear characteristic shown in Figure 1 is shown.The base band predistortion technology makes original input signal V through using the contrary characteristic of predistorter PD simulated power amplifier PA INPredistortion takes place before the power amplifier being input to, thereby compensating power amplifier PA's is non-linear, and obtains not have the amplified output signals V that distorts at the output of power amplifier OUTThe input/output signal characteristic of power amplifier with pre-distortion function is up near all showing extraordinary linear characteristic before the saturation region, and is as shown in Figure 4, and the sketch map of the input/output signal characteristic of the power amplifier that is provided with predistorter is shown.
But the good predistorter of great majority work all is directed against monotone signal or narrow band frequency signal.That is to say, mostly be used to compensate the memoryless non-linear of the top power amplifier of being mentioned.Yet; Along with the bandwidth of signal is more and more wideer; Power amplifier shows certain memory characteristic (frequency selectivity) again, and promptly current output signal is not only relevant with current input signal, and is also relevant with input signal before; As shown in Figure 5, the sketch map of the input/output signal characteristic of the nonlinear power amplifier with memory characteristic is shown.The memory characteristic of power amplifier shows as near the non-symmetrical spectrum the carrier wave on it is exported, as shown in Figure 6, and the spectrum diagram by the nonlinear power amplifier institute amplifying signal with memory characteristic is shown.That is to say that although carrier wave (desired signal) frequency spectrum is symmetrical fully, the pseudo-frequency spectrum that distortion caused but is asymmetric for centered carrier.
Therefore, in order to simulate the contrary characteristic of power amplifier exactly, come the contrary characteristic of power amplifier is carried out modeling and parameter Estimation with regard to adopting complicated more structure and method, so that realize predistortion with above-mentioned memory characteristic.Be used for the memoryless nonlinear characteristic of while compensating power amplifier and the technology of memory characteristic at present and mainly comprise memory multinomial model and two-dimensional polling list method.
The memory multinomial model is a Volterra simplified models model.The Volterra model adopts Volterra progression to come non linear system is carried out accurate modeling, can offset the memoryless nonlinear characteristic and the memory characteristic of power amplifier theoretically through the contrary Volterra progression model of emulation power amplifier.Though the Volterra model is very effective for the memoryless nonlinear characteristic and the memory characteristic of offsetting power amplifier, its physics realization almost is impossible, because need to use complicated formula, and needs the mathematical operation of flood tide.For this reason, the Volterra model of simplifying has been proposed, that is, and the memory multinomial model.As shown in Figure 7; Illustrate according to prior art and use the memory multinomial model that the input signal of nonlinear power amplifier with memory characteristic is carried out the sketch map of pre-distortion, wherein remember multinomial model and use with current input and the relevant polynomial function of previous input and represent to export.The nonlinear ability of offsetting power amplifier depends on the quantity and the polynomial exponent number of employed previous input.Describe the nonlinear characteristic of power amplifier subtly and need use the multinomial that contains higher order term, the generation that this often causes the matrix of big conditional number causes very difficulty of numerical computations.
The two-dimensional polling list method then is according to the relation between the current output of power amplifier and its current input and the last input; The contrary characteristic of power amplifier is processed question blank; Thereby before input signal being carried out power amplification, utilize the weight coefficient that from question blank, obtains that input signal is carried out predistortion, offset the nonlinear characteristic of power amplifier thus.As shown in Figure 8, illustrate according to prior art and use two-dimensional polling list the input signal of nonlinear power amplifier with memory characteristic to be carried out the sketch map of pre-distortion.But; Two-dimensional polling list not only needs very big internal memory to store a large amount of predistorting datas; And memory depth is limited, and the relation of often only utilizing current input and last input and output is carried out predistortion to the input signal of power amplifier, is used to offset the memory characteristic of power amplifier.Increase memory depth if desired, then the multi-dimensional query table will become very complicated, and be difficult to realize.
Also there is above similar techniques problem for other non linear system that is similar to nonlinear power amplifier.

Embodiment
Embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention for the identification of inverse characteristic of nonlinear system based on Hammerstein model commonly used.The Hammerstein model is to have considered the memory characteristic of non linear system and a kind of nonlinear organization model of setting up, is made up of memoryless nonlinear model and the series connection of linear time varying system two parts.Fig. 9 shows the structural representation that utilizes Hammerstein model 90 to make up the contrary characteristic of non linear system.As shown in Figure 9, Hammerstein model 90 comprise address generator 91, question blank (Look-Up Table, LUT) 92, FIR (finite impulse response) filter 93 and multiplier 95.Address generator 91 generates the address that is used for inquiring about LUT 92 according to input signal x (n), from LUT 92, selects the coefficient with complex representation according to this address then.With plural coefficient and input signal x (n) after multiplier 95 multiplies each other, resulting product carries out digital filtering through FIR filter 93, thereby forms final pre-distorted signals u (n).Here, the address of representing LUT 92 with k.
One dimension LUT can be used for the memoryless nonlinear characteristic of compensating non-linear system, and filter is used for the memory characteristic of compensating non-linear system, thereby has avoided taking the use of a large amount of internal memory and higher order polynomial, has reduced operand.Therefore, problem is converted into the parameter that how to make up this one dimension LUT and FIR filter, makes the two combination can fit the comprehensive nonlinear characteristic of non linear system preferably.For this reason, the present invention adopts " indirect learning method ".Figure 10 shows that the present invention adopts is used to obtain the indirect learning ratio juris of the contrary characteristic of non linear system.
Generally; The characteristic of non linear system can not change in time continually, so the module of learning algorithm and identification predistortion model A can be carried out the off-line data processing after collecting some input and output data samples (for example n input data sample and n dateout sampling point).After carrying out identification, new argument is sent to the predistortion model A module of non linear system, so that to comprehensive non-linear the compensating of non linear system.Shown in figure 10, this process is through when off-line Updates Information, and uses collected input and output data sample, obtains the contrary characteristic (parameter of estimation model A) of non linear system through minimization error signal e (n).In Figure 10, x (n) is the input of non linear system, and y (n) is the output of non linear system, and G is the expected gain coefficient of non linear system, and y G(n) be called feedback nonlinear systems output.Predistortion model A module can be used various programming devices realizations such as field programmable gate array (FPGA), thereby easily realizes the on-the-spot time-varying parameter that upgrades non linear system etc.
Figure 11 illustrates the device for identifying that obtains the contrary characteristic of non linear system according to indirect learning method off-line, the principle schematic of the module of learning algorithm promptly shown in Figure 10 and identification predistortion model A.The principle of this device is based on indirect learning method shown in Figure 10.Data collection memory module 301 among the figure will be collected the inputoutput data of the non linear system of storage and given recognition module 300; 300 input data with the non linear system of these data map output backs and 301 storages of data collection memory module of recognition module compare through adder 306, and revise the foundation of parameter in the recognition module 300 with error signal e (n) conduct.
Recognition module 300 comprises address generator 302, question blank 303, multiplier 304 and double filter 305.The address generator 302 here, question blank 303, multiplier 304 and double filter 305 are respectively corresponding to address generator shown in Figure 9 91, question blank 92, multiplier 95 and FIR filter 93, and its concrete operation principle will combine hereinafter to specifically describe.
Can know that according to Figure 11 error signal e (n) can be expressed as
e ( n ) = x ( n ) - x ^ ( n )
= x ( n ) - F { z ( n ) }
= x ( n ) - F { y G ( n ) &CenterDot; Q ( [ | y G ( n ) | ] ) } - - - ( 1 )
Wherein x (n) representes input signal shown in Figure 10.Expected gain in non linear system shown in Figure 10 is G, and non linear system is output as under the situation of y (n), y G(n) can represent with following formula
y G(n)=y(n)/G (2)
Figure S2008100816743D00094
representes identification signal (estimated value of input signal x (n)), is designated as
x ^ ( n ) = F { z ( n ) } - - - ( 3 )
Middle pre-distorted signals z (n) does
z(n)=y G(n)·Q([|y G(n)|]) (4)
Here, F{} represents the filter function of filter 305, and Q{} represents the question blank function of question blank 303.
[||] represented address generator 302 performed delivery and quantification, promptly
k=[|y G(n)|] k=0,...,K-1 (5)
An address in the middle of the corresponding question blank of k (for example 0~255).
The problem of thus, the contrary characteristic of non linear system being carried out identification is converted into through the designing filter 305 and the parameter of question blank 303 comes minimization error signal e (n).Consider that e (n) is a time series, this identification problem can be write:
min E F , Q = min F , Q &Sigma; n = 1 N | e ( n ) | - - - ( 6 )
Here
E = &Sigma; n = 1 N | e ( n ) | - - - ( 7 )
For minimization function E effectively, best bet is combined optimization F{} and Q{}.Present embodiment proposes a kind of computational methods, comes minimization E through computation optimization F{} alternately with Q{}, the contrary characteristic that F{} that obtains with optimization and Q{} (filter 305 and question blank 303) approach non linear system.
At first come analytical calculation function Q { }.The content of question blank can obtain through the gain of analyzing each sampling point, and the gain of each sampling point here can be expressed as
gp(n)=x(n)/y G(n) (8)
That is to say the corresponding y of each gp (n) G(n) the address k in the middle of the also just corresponding question blank of y, the gp (n) that will have identical address k value is classified as one type (putting a group under), and its note is done
GP k=[gp(i),...gp(j)] 0<k<K-1,
1<i,j<N?(9)
Gp (n) in each group is made even all to mould value and phase place respectively, the gain characteristic that can obtain to trade off, promptly
g k=mean(|GP k|) (10)
p k=mean(∠GP k) (11)
So, can obtain question blank function Q { }
Q{·}=Gain⊙exp(j·Phase) (12)
Wherein
Gain=[g 0,...,g i,...] T (13)
Phase=[p 0,...p i,...] T (14)
And ⊙ representes the Hadamard product, and subscript T representes matrix transpose.
After obtaining question blank function Q { } according to formula (12), pre-distorted signals z (n) in the middle of can calculating according to formula (4).
Should be noted that, when calculating compromise gain characteristic in the above, selection be mould value and phase place mean value separately of gp (n) in each group.Can certainly use other to well known to a person skilled in the art that algorithm obtains this compromise gain characteristic, such as median method, least square method or the like, omits concrete associated description at this.
Following analytical calculation filter function F{}, this can obtain through least square method.In the middle of obtaining, behind the pre-distorted signals z (n),, can obtain filter coefficient according to least square method in order to obtain optimum filter function F{} to approach input signal x (n):
W=(Z M HZ M) -1·Z M H·X (15)
Wherein
X=[x(1),x(2),...,x(N)] T (16)
Z M = z ( 1 ) 0 . . . 0 z ( 2 ) z ( 1 ) . . . 0 z ( 3 ) z ( 2 ) . . . 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . z ( N - L + 2 ) z ( N ) z ( N - 1 ) . . . z ( N - L + 1 ) - - - ( 17 )
Here, N is the length of the data of collection, and L is the exponent number (memory depth) of FIR filter.
After calculating the parameter W of filter according to formula (15), filter function F{} can be expressed as with matrix and vector form:
F{z(n)}=Z M·W (18)
Then, according to formula (3) and formula (18) can obtain input signal x (n) estimated value thus according to formula (1) error signal e (n).If error signal e (n) satisfies the condition of setting, think that then the estimated value
Figure S2008100816743D00113
of input signal x (n) meets the demands.This means that presently used question blank function Q { } and filter function F{} have fitted the characteristic of non linear system well, can be as the parameter of predistortion model A shown in Figure 10.
On the other hand; If error signal e (n) does not satisfy the condition of setting; Then the estimated value of input signal x (n)
Figure S2008100816743D00114
can not meet the demands, and need further revise question blank function Q { } and filter function F{}.At this moment, utilize 305 couples of input signal x of filter (n) to carry out liftering and obtain liftering signal x according to following formula F(n):
x F(n)=F -1{x(n)} (19)
Then, use this liftering signal x F(n) replace the original input signal x (n) in the formula (8) to export signal y with feedback nonlinear systems G(n) together, utilize formula (4), (5) and formula (12) to formula (18) to recomputate question blank function Q { } and filter function F{}.Then, again according to formula (1) error signal e (n), till satisfying the condition of setting.
Here, the condition of setting can be for after obtaining error signal e (n), and whether the standard mean square error NMSE shown in the formula (20) below checking restrains or judge that whether iterations is greater than certain threshold value.
NMSE ( dB ) = 10 log 10 ( &Sigma; n = 1 N | x ( n ) - x ^ ( n ) | 2 &Sigma; n = 1 N | x ( n ) | 2 ) - - - ( 20 )
Certainly, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the standard mean square error NMSE that the condition of setting is not limited only to here to be mentioned also can be other criterion, such as mean square error MSE, peak value mean square error PMSE or the like.
Figure 12 shows the flow chart of the optimization process of being carried out by recognition module shown in Figure 11 300, promptly how according to the input signal x (n) of non linear system with export question blank 303 function Q { } and the function F { } of filter 305 that signal y (n) obtains to be used to characterize the contrary characteristic of non linear system.
