Description

信号失衡补偿装置和方法 Signal imbalance compensation device and method

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及在正交接收机中使用的正交解调器,具体地涉及正交解调器中对IQ信号的相位失衡和幅度失衡进行估计和补偿的信号失衡补偿装置和方法。The present invention relates to a quadrature demodulator used in a quadrature receiver, in particular to a signal imbalance compensation device and method for estimating and compensating the phase imbalance and amplitude imbalance of IQ signals in the quadrature demodulator.

背景技术 Background technique

正交接收机使用两个独立的支路生成矢量信号,在这种情况下,模拟的I信道和Q信道之间的相移(额定90度)的误差和幅度的失配,会导致I信道信号和Q信道信号之间的相位和幅度的失衡,称为IQ失衡(或称信号失衡)。当IQ失衡时,在同相信道和正交信道之间就出现了串扰。Quadrature receivers use two separate branches to generate a vector signal, in which case errors in the phase shift (nominally 90 degrees) and magnitude mismatch between the simulated I and Q channels cause the I channel to The phase and amplitude imbalance between the signal and the Q channel signal is called IQ imbalance (or signal imbalance). When the IQ is unbalanced, crosstalk occurs between the in-phase channel and the quadrature channel.

对于IQ失衡,通常使用特殊的训练序列或利用接收信号的统计特性进行估计并进而进行补偿的方法。由于使用训练序列的方法会带来系统复杂度的增加,利用接收信号的统计特性是更为简便的解决方案。FredHarris的文章“Digital Filter Equalization of Analog Gain and PhaseMismatch in I-Q receiver”Universal Personal communications,1996.Record,1996 5th IEEE International Conference on,page 793-796 Vol.2介绍了一种简单易用的方法,该方法利用相位和幅度平衡环来对相位和幅度失衡进行估计及补偿。根据该文章,美国专利US 7,187,725公开了这样一种方法,该方法利用随I信道信号与Q信道信号之间的误差信号的平均值而变的可变环幅度来补偿相位和幅度失衡。For the IQ imbalance, a special training sequence or a method of estimating and then compensating by using the statistical characteristics of the received signal is usually used. Since the method of using the training sequence will increase the complexity of the system, it is a simpler solution to use the statistical characteristics of the received signal. FredHarris' article "Digital Filter Equalization of Analog Gain and PhaseMismatch in I-Q receiver" Universal Personal communications, 1996.Record, 1996 5th IEEE International Conference on, page 793-796 Vol.2 introduces a simple and easy-to-use method, which Phase and amplitude imbalances are estimated and compensated for using phase and amplitude gimbals. According to this article, US Patent US 7,187,725 discloses a method of compensating for phase and amplitude imbalances using a variable loop amplitude as a function of the average value of the error signal between the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal.

图1是示出了根据现有技术的正交解调器的示意方框图。如图1所示,在模拟部分(也称前端部分)100,信号分割器101将接收到的RF/IF信号分为第一信号部分和第二信号部分。第一信号部分被传送到第一乘法器102,而第二信号部分被传送到第二乘法器103。第一乘法器102通过将第一信号部分与从本地载波发生器104输出的载波信号相混合,来生成I信道信号。第二乘法器103通过将第二信号部分与从本地载波发生器104输出并由90°移相器105进行了90°移相的载波信号相混合,来生成Q信道信号。第一模数转换器106和第二模数转换器107分别将模拟I信道信号和模拟Q信道信号转换为数字I信道信号

,其中,k是表示信号采样序号的正整数。需要说明的是,虽然图1中没有示出,但为正确地进行接收操作起见,可能还需要其它组件,如滤波器、放大器等。本领域技术人员完全可以对此做出合适的布置。Fig. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a quadrature demodulator according to the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1 , in the analog part (also referred to as the front-end part) 100, the signal splitter 101 divides the received RF/IF signal into a first signal part and a second signal part. The first signal part is sent to the first multiplier 102 and the second signal part is sent to the second multiplier 103 . The first multiplier 102 generates an I channel signal by mixing the first signal part with the carrier signal output from the local carrier generator 104 . The second multiplier 103 generates a Q channel signal by mixing the second signal portion with the carrier signal output from the local carrier generator 104 and phase-shifted by 90° by the 90° phase shifter 105 . The first analog-to-digital converter 106 and the second analog-to-digital converter 107 convert the analog I-channel signal and the analog Q-channel signal into digital I-channel signals respectively

, where k is a positive integer representing the signal sampling number. It should be noted that, although not shown in FIG. 1 , other components, such as filters, amplifiers, etc., may be required for correct receiving operation. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate arrangements for this.

此模拟部分会导致相位失衡和幅度失衡,如信号分割器101不能将输入信号分成完全相同的两部分,90°移相器105不能正好进行90°相移等。This analog part will cause phase imbalance and amplitude imbalance, for example, the signal divider 101 cannot divide the input signal into two identical parts, and the 90° phase shifter 105 cannot perform exactly 90° phase shift, etc.

在数字部分110(包括信号失衡补偿装置和其它基带处理部分)中,相位失衡检测器111接收数字I信道信号和数字Q信道信号,检测因90°移相器105等模拟器件的缺陷而可能产生的相位误差,从而输出相位失衡值。相位失衡补偿器112响应于由相位失衡检测器111输出的相位失衡值而修改数字Q信道信号

的幅度,生成经相位及幅度补偿的信号。这里以I信道信号为基准信号。In the digital part 110 (including the signal imbalance compensation device and other baseband processing parts), the phase imbalance detector 111 receives the digital I channel signal and the digital Q channel signal, and detects the defects that may occur due to the defects of analog devices such as the 90° phase shifter 105. The phase error, so as to output the phase imbalance value. Phase imbalance compensator 112 modifies the digital Q channel signal in response to the phase imbalance value output by phase imbalance detector 111

; Amplitude imbalance detector 113 receives the Q channel signal after phase compensation and I channel signal, detect the amplitude imbalance value between them and output. The amplitude imbalance compensator 114 compensates the Q channel signal in response to the amplitude imbalance value output from the amplitude imbalance detector 113

图2是示出了根据现有技术的信号失衡补偿装置的一种典型实现,可参照Fred Harris的文章“Digital Filter Equalization of Analog Gain andPhase Mismatch in I-Q receiver”Universal Personal communications,1996.Record,1996 5th IEEE International Conference on,page 793-796 Vol.2。图2中,相位失衡检测器200相当于图1中的相位失衡检测器111,相位失衡补偿器210相当于图1中的相位失衡补偿器112,幅度失衡检测器220相当于图1中的幅度失衡检测器113,幅度失衡补偿器230相当于图1中的幅度失衡补偿器114。乘法器201输出当前相位误差e(k),乘法器202调整误差的大小,加法器203及延迟保持器204构成了相位失衡值输出单元并输出当前相位失衡值 α ^ ( k ) = α ^ ( k - 1 ) + μ 1 × I ~ ( k ) × Q ~ ( k ) ;相位失衡补偿器210由乘法器211和加法器212构成,根据相位失衡检测器输出的相位失衡值,以I信道信号为基准补偿Q信道信号的相位失衡。绝对值生成器221、绝对值生成器222和加法器223输出当前幅度误差d(k),乘法器224调整误差大小,加法器225及延迟保持器226构成幅度失衡值输出单元并输出当前幅度失衡值 γ ^ ( k ) = γ ^ ( k - 1 ) + μ 2 × ( | I ~ ( k ) | - | Q ~ ( k ) | ) ;幅度失衡补偿器230由乘法器231构成,根据幅度失衡检测器输出的幅度失衡值,以I信道信号为基准补偿Q信道信号的幅度失衡,这里μ1为相位失衡估计回路的回路增益,μ2为幅度失衡估计回路的回路增益,为保证回路的稳定,它们的值通常小于1。Fig. 2 shows a typical implementation of a signal imbalance compensation device according to the prior art, which can be referred to Fred Harris's article "Digital Filter Equalization of Analog Gain and Phase Mismatch in IQ receiver" Universal Personal communications, 1996.Record, 1996 5th IEEE International Conference on, page 793-796 Vol.2. In FIG. 2, the phase imbalance detector 200 is equivalent to the phase imbalance detector 111 in FIG. 1, the phase imbalance compensator 210 is equivalent to the phase imbalance compensator 112 in FIG. 1, and the amplitude imbalance detector 220 is equivalent to the amplitude The unbalance detector 113 and the amplitude unbalance compensator 230 are equivalent to the amplitude unbalance compensator 114 in FIG. 1 . The multiplier 201 outputs the current phase error e(k), the multiplier 202 adjusts the size of the error, the adder 203 and the delay holder 204 constitute a phase imbalance value output unit and outputs the current phase imbalance value α ^ ( k ) = α ^ ( k - 1 ) + μ 1 × I ~ ( k ) × Q ~ ( k ) The phase imbalance compensator 210 is composed of a multiplier 211 and an adder 212. According to the phase imbalance value output by the phase imbalance detector, the phase imbalance of the Q channel signal is compensated based on the I channel signal. The absolute value generator 221, the absolute value generator 222 and the adder 223 output the current amplitude error d(k), the multiplier 224 adjusts the error size, the adder 225 and the delay holder 226 form an amplitude imbalance value output unit and output the current amplitude imbalance value γ ^ ( k ) = γ ^ ( k - 1 ) + μ 2 × ( | I ~ ( k ) | - | Q ~ ( k ) | ) Amplitude imbalance compensator 230 is made up of multiplier 231, according to the amplitude imbalance value that amplitude imbalance detector outputs, take I channel signal as the amplitude imbalance of reference compensation Q channel signal, where μ 1 is the loop gain of phase imbalance estimation loop, μ 2 is the loop gain of the amplitude imbalance estimation loop. In order to ensure the stability of the loop, their values are usually less than 1.

目前利用输入信号统计特性进行IQ失衡估计和补偿的方法都存在一个重要缺陷,当输入信号经过一些非线性化器件如数模转换器后其统计特性会被改变,导致IQ失衡的估计出现错误,从而导致整个幅度和相位补偿机制失效。At present, there is an important defect in the method of using the statistical characteristics of the input signal to estimate and compensate IQ imbalance. When the input signal passes through some nonlinear devices such as digital-to-analog converters, its statistical characteristics will be changed, resulting in errors in the estimation of IQ imbalance. As a result, the entire amplitude and phase compensation mechanism fails.

图3示出了根据本发明在正交接收机中使用的正交解调器的示意方框图。Fig. 3 shows a schematic block diagram of a quadrature demodulator used in a quadrature receiver according to the invention.

如图3所示,正交解调器30包括模拟部分300和数字部分310。As shown in FIG. 3 , the quadrature demodulator 30 includes an analog part 300 and a digital part 310 .

模拟部分300包括信号分割器301、第一乘法器302、第二乘法器303、本地载波发生器304、90°移相器305、第一模数转换器(ADC)306、以及第二模数转换器307。The analog section 300 includes a signal splitter 301, a first multiplier 302, a second multiplier 303, a local carrier generator 304, a 90° phase shifter 305, a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 306, and a second analog-to-digital converter converter 307 .

信号分割器301接收RF/IF信号,将接收到的信号分为第一信号部分和第二信号部分。第一信号部分被传送到第一乘法器302,而第二信号部分被传送到第二乘法器303。第一乘法器302通过将第一信号部分与从本地载波发生器304输出的载波信号相混合,来生成I信道信号。第二乘法器303通过将第二信号部分与从本地载波发生器304输出并由90°移相器305进行了90°移相的载波信号相混合,来生成Q信道信号。第一模数转换器306和第二模数转换器307分别将模拟I信道信号和模拟Q信道信号转换为数字I信道信号和数字Q信道信号,其中,k是表示信号采样序号的正整数。The signal divider 301 receives the RF/IF signal, and divides the received signal into a first signal part and a second signal part. The first signal part is sent to the first multiplier 302 and the second signal part is sent to the second multiplier 303 . The first multiplier 302 generates an I channel signal by mixing the first signal portion with the carrier signal output from the local carrier generator 304 . The second multiplier 303 generates a Q channel signal by mixing the second signal part with the carrier signal output from the local carrier generator 304 and phase-shifted by 90° by the 90° phase shifter 305 . The first analog-to-digital converter 306 and the second analog-to-digital converter 307 respectively convert the analog I-channel signal and the analog Q-channel signal into digital I-channel signals and digital Q-channel signals, wherein k is a positive integer representing a signal sampling number.

应该注意,上述对模拟部分的说明是示意性的,并不是对本发明的限制,本领域的普通技术人员可以采用本领域所知的任何其它的方式来实现该模拟部分。It should be noted that the above description of the simulation part is illustrative and not limiting to the present invention, and those skilled in the art may implement the simulation part in any other manner known in the art.

如图3所示,数字部分310包括信号失衡补偿装置和其它基带信号处理部分315,信号失衡补偿装置包括相位失衡检测器311、幅度失衡检测器313、相位失衡补偿器312以及幅度失衡补偿器314。另外,本发明的信号失衡补偿装置还包括信号失衡检测控制器321。As shown in Figure 3, the digital part 310 includes a signal imbalance compensation device and other baseband signal processing parts 315, and the signal imbalance compensation device includes a phase imbalance detector 311, an amplitude imbalance detector 313, a phase imbalance compensator 312 and an amplitude imbalance compensator 314 . In addition, the signal imbalance compensation device of the present invention further includes a signal imbalance detection controller 321 .

信号失衡检测控制器321根据接收到的I信道信号和Q信道信号的特性,输出启动失衡检测信号或停止失衡检测信号。The signal imbalance detection controller 321 outputs a start imbalance detection signal or a stop imbalance detection signal according to the characteristics of the received I channel signal and Q channel signal.

相位失衡检测器311的工作状态由信号失衡检测控制器321进行控制。当信号失衡检测控制器321输出启动相位失衡检测信号时,相位失衡检测器311接收数字I信道信号和数字Q信道信号,并检测因模拟部分的特性不理想带来的I和Q信道信号的相位失衡并输出当前相位失衡值给相位失衡补偿器312。相位失衡补偿器312根据来自相位失衡检测器311的当前相位失衡值补偿I和Q信道信号的相位失衡。当信号失衡检测控制器321输出停止失衡检测信号时,相位失衡检测器311输出前一个采样时刻的相位失衡值给相位失衡补偿器312用于补偿I和Q信道信号的相位失衡。The working state of the phase imbalance detector 311 is controlled by the signal imbalance detection controller 321 . When the signal imbalance detection controller 321 outputs the start phase imbalance detection signal, the phase imbalance detector 311 receives the digital I channel signal and the digital Q channel signal, and detects the phases of the I and Q channel signals caused by the unsatisfactory characteristics of the analog part unbalance and output the current phase unbalance value to the phase unbalance compensator 312 . The phase imbalance compensator 312 compensates the phase imbalance of the I and Q channel signals according to the current phase imbalance value from the phase imbalance detector 311 . When the signal imbalance detection controller 321 outputs a stop imbalance detection signal, the phase imbalance detector 311 outputs the phase imbalance value at the previous sampling moment to the phase imbalance compensator 312 for compensating the phase imbalance of the I and Q channel signals.

相位失衡补偿器312根据相位失衡检测器311的输出进行相应的相位失衡的补偿。其补偿方式可以根据相位失衡检测器311的输出进行逐样点的补偿,也可以采用根据相位失衡检测器311的输出周期性地或非周期性地进行补偿。The phase imbalance compensator 312 performs corresponding phase imbalance compensation according to the output of the phase imbalance detector 311 . The compensation method can be sample-by-sample compensation based on the output of the phase imbalance detector 311 , or periodically or aperiodically based on the output of the phase imbalance detector 311 .

类似地,幅度失衡检测器313的工作状态由信号失衡检测控制器321进行控制。当信号失衡检测控制器321输出启动幅度失衡检测信号时,幅度失衡检测器311接收数字I信道信号和数字Q信道信号,并检测因模拟部分的特性不理想带来的I和Q信道信号的幅度失衡并输出当前幅度失衡值给幅度补偿器314。幅度补偿器314根据来自相位失衡检测器的当前相位失衡值补偿I和Q信道信号的相位失衡。当信号失衡检测控制器321输出停止失衡检测信号时,幅度失衡检测器313输出前一个采样时刻的相位失衡值给幅度失衡补偿器314用于补偿I和Q信道信号的幅度失衡。Similarly, the working state of the amplitude imbalance detector 313 is controlled by the signal imbalance detection controller 321 . When the signal imbalance detection controller 321 outputs the starting amplitude imbalance detection signal, the amplitude imbalance detector 311 receives the digital I channel signal and the digital Q channel signal, and detects the amplitudes of the I and Q channel signals caused by the unsatisfactory characteristics of the analog part unbalance and output the current amplitude unbalance value to the amplitude compensator 314 . The amplitude compensator 314 compensates the phase imbalance of the I and Q channel signals based on the current phase imbalance value from the phase imbalance detector. When the signal imbalance detection controller 321 outputs a stop imbalance detection signal, the amplitude imbalance detector 313 outputs the phase imbalance value at the previous sampling moment to the amplitude imbalance compensator 314 for compensating the amplitude imbalance of I and Q channel signals.

幅度失衡补偿器314根据幅度失衡检测器313的输出进行相应的幅度失衡的补偿。其补偿方式可以根据幅度失衡检测器313的输出进行逐样点的补偿,也可以采用根据幅度失衡检测器313的输出周期性地或非周期性地进行补偿。The amplitude imbalance compensator 314 performs corresponding amplitude imbalance compensation according to the output of the amplitude imbalance detector 313 . The compensation method can be sample-by-sample compensation based on the output of the amplitude imbalance detector 313 , or periodically or non-periodically based on the output of the amplitude imbalance detector 313 .

其他基带处理部分315是本领域的公知技术内容,而且对于本发明并不重要,因此在此不再对它们进行详细的描述。需要说明的是,虽然图3中没有示出,但为正确地进行接收操作起见,可能还需要其它组件,如放大器、滤波器等。本领域技术人员完全可以对此做出合适的布置,因此,不再赘述它们的具体布置,以使本发明的要点更为突出。Other baseband processing parts 315 are well-known technical contents in the art, and are not important to the present invention, so they will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that, although not shown in FIG. 3 , other components, such as amplifiers and filters, may be required for correct receiving operation. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate arrangements for this, so their specific arrangements will not be repeated to make the gist of the present invention more prominent.

另外,从上面的说明中可以看出,本发明与现有技术的最大的区别在于增加了信号失衡检测控制器321。下面对信号失衡检测控制器321进行详细的说明。In addition, it can be seen from the above description that the biggest difference between the present invention and the prior art lies in the addition of a signal imbalance detection controller 321 . The signal imbalance detection controller 321 will be described in detail below.

在本发明中,信号失衡检测控制器321的输入信号可以是相位补偿及幅度补偿前的信号,也可以是相位补偿、幅度补偿后的信号。In the present invention, the input signal of the signal imbalance detection controller 321 may be a signal before phase compensation and amplitude compensation, or a signal after phase compensation and amplitude compensation.

下面首先对信号失衡检测控制器321的输入信号是相位补偿及幅度补偿前的信号的情况进行说明。这种情况即如图3所示的情况。First, the case where the input signal of the signal imbalance detection controller 321 is a signal before phase compensation and amplitude compensation will be described below. This situation is the situation shown in FIG. 3 .

图4A示出了依据本发明的一种实施方式的信号失衡检测控制器的示意性结构框图。Fig. 4A shows a schematic structural block diagram of a signal imbalance detection controller according to an embodiment of the present invention.

如图4A所示,依据本发明的一种实施方式的信号失衡检测控制器包括判断单元401以及信号生成单元402。As shown in FIG. 4A , a signal imbalance detection controller according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a judging unit 401 and a signal generating unit 402 .

在图3的情况下,首先判断单元401判断模数转换器306和307输出的带有相位及幅度失衡的信号(下文称输入信号)是否落入预定的范围内。如果判断单元401判断出该输入信号落入预定的范围(误差估计置信区)内,则所述信号生成单元402生成启动信号失衡检测信号,包括启动幅度失衡检测信号和启动相位失衡检测信号。如果判断单元401判断出该输入信号未落入预定的范围内,则所述信号生成单元402生成停止信号失衡检测信号,包括停止幅度失衡检测信号和停止相位失衡检测信号。这里针对相位及幅度失衡可以采用相同、也可以采用不同的预定范围进行控制。In the case of FIG. 3 , the judging unit 401 first judges whether the signals with phase and amplitude imbalance output by the analog-to-digital converters 306 and 307 (hereinafter referred to as input signals) fall within a predetermined range. If the judging unit 401 judges that the input signal falls within a predetermined range (error estimation confidence zone), the signal generating unit 402 generates a starting signal imbalance detection signal, including a starting amplitude imbalance detection signal and a starting phase imbalance detection signal. If the judging unit 401 judges that the input signal does not fall within the predetermined range, the signal generating unit 402 generates a stop signal imbalance detection signal, including a stop amplitude imbalance detection signal and a stop phase imbalance detection signal. Here, the same or different predetermined ranges can be used for controlling the phase and amplitude imbalance.

图4B、图4C、图4D、图4E是示出了对所述预定范围的几种示例性限定图案。如图所示,当输入信号失衡检测控制器321的I信道信号和Q信道信号位于IQ平面的阴影区域(即误差估计置信区)时输出启动失衡检测信号,当输入信号失衡检测控制器321的I信道信号和Q信道信号位于其他区域时输出停止失衡检测信号。Fig. 4B, Fig. 4C, Fig. 4D, Fig. 4E show several exemplary limiting patterns for the predetermined range. As shown in the figure, when the I channel signal and the Q channel signal of the input signal imbalance detection controller 321 are located in the shadow area of the IQ plane (ie, the error estimation confidence zone), the output starts the imbalance detection signal, and when the input signal imbalance detection controller 321 When the I channel signal and the Q channel signal are located in other areas, a stop imbalance detection signal is output.

下面说明针对这些预定范围,判断单元401的判断处理。The determination processing of the determination unit 401 for these predetermined ranges will be described below.

图4B的阴影区可表示为:The shaded area in Figure 4B can be expressed as:

(( || II ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh andand || QQ ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh )) andand (( || II ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh oror || QQ ~~ || >> (( &GreaterEqual;&Greater Equal; )) ThTh lowlow ))

图4C的阴影区表示为:The shaded area in Figure 4C is represented as:

II ~~ 22 ++ QQ ~~ 22 << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh )) andand (( II ~~ 22 ++ QQ ~~ 22 >> (( &GreaterEqual;&Greater Equal; )) ThTh lowlow ))

图4D的阴影区表示为:The shaded area in Figure 4D is represented as:

(( || II ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh andand || QQ ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh )) andand (( || II ~~ || >> (( &GreaterEqual;&Greater Equal; )) ThTh lowlow andand || QQ ~~ || >> (( &GreaterEqual;&Greater Equal; )) ThTh lowlow ))

图4E的阴影区表示为:The shaded area in Figure 4E is represented as:

(( || II ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh oror || QQ ~~ || << (( &le;&le; )) ThTh highhigh )) andand (( || II ~~ || >> (( &GreaterEqual;&Greater Equal; )) ThTh lowlow oror || QQ ~~ || >> (( &GreaterEqual;&Greater Equal; )) ThTh lowlow ))

上述图4B、图4C、图4D、图4E阴影区表示式中,

Figure S2008101097827D00105
Figure S2008101097827D00106
分别表示输入信号失衡检测控制器321的I信道信号和Q信道信号,Thhigh表示预定大阈值,Thlow。表示预定小阈值,并且:0≤Thlow<Thhigh≤ADCOUTmax,其中ADCOUTmax代表数模转换器的最大输出值。4B, FIG. 4C, FIG. 4D, and FIG. 4E shaded area expressions above,
Figure S2008101097827D00105
and
Figure S2008101097827D00106
represent the I channel signal and the Q channel signal of the input signal imbalance detection controller 321 respectively, Th high represents a predetermined large threshold, Th low . represents a predetermined small threshold, and: 0≤Th low <Th high≤ADCOUT max , where ADCOUT max represents the maximum output value of the digital-to-analog converter.

因而,根据输入的I信道信号和Q信道信号,信号失衡检测控制器321的判断单元401可以判断出输入的信号是否位于预定的范围内。Therefore, according to the input I channel signal and Q channel signal, the judging unit 401 of the signal imbalance detection controller 321 can judge whether the input signal is within a predetermined range.

应该注意到,虽然在上面对预定范围进行了示例,但本领域的技术人员显然可以根据本发明构思出不同的范围,例如将图4B-图4E中的范围进行分割组合等,例如图4F由图4B与图4C组合而来,图4G由图4D与图4E组合而来等的形状,但这些都在本发明的范围内。It should be noted that although the predetermined range is exemplified above, those skilled in the art can obviously conceive different ranges according to the present invention, such as dividing and combining the ranges in Fig. 4B-Fig. 4E, etc., for example Fig. 4F Figure 4B is combined with Figure 4C, Figure 4G is combined with Figure 4D and Figure 4E, etc., but these are all within the scope of the present invention.

另选地,所述预定范围可以是IQ平面上排除了I路或Q路小于预定小阈值的信号点以及大于预定大阈值的点的范围。这里的大阈值和小阈值可以通过仿真或根据经验获得。Alternatively, the predetermined range may be a range on the IQ plane excluding signal points of I-path or Q-path less than a predetermined small threshold and points greater than a predetermined large threshold. The large threshold and small threshold here can be obtained through simulation or experience.

图5示出了一种以I信道信号作为基准信号对Q信道信号进行补偿的信号失衡补偿装置的具体实现。FIG. 5 shows a specific implementation of a signal imbalance compensation device for compensating a Q channel signal with an I channel signal as a reference signal.

如图5所示,依据本发明一种实施方式的信号失衡补偿装置50包括:信号失衡检测控制器500、相位失衡检测器510、相位失衡补偿器520、幅度失衡检测器530、幅度失衡补偿器540。As shown in FIG. 5, a signal imbalance compensation device 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a signal imbalance detection controller 500, a phase imbalance detector 510, a phase imbalance compensator 520, an amplitude imbalance detector 530, and an amplitude imbalance compensator 540.

其中,信号失衡检测控制器500对应于图3所示的信号失衡检测控制器321,相位失衡检测器510对应于图3的相位失衡检测器311,相位失衡补偿器520对应于图3所示的相位失衡补偿器312,幅度失衡检测器530对应于图3的幅度失衡检测器313,幅度失衡补偿器540对应于图3的幅度失衡补偿器314。Wherein, the signal imbalance detection controller 500 corresponds to the signal imbalance detection controller 321 shown in FIG. 3 , the phase imbalance detector 510 corresponds to the phase imbalance detector 311 shown in FIG. 3 , and the phase imbalance compensator 520 corresponds to the The phase imbalance compensator 312 and the amplitude imbalance detector 530 correspond to the amplitude imbalance detector 313 in FIG. 3 , and the amplitude imbalance compensator 540 corresponds to the amplitude imbalance compensator 314 in FIG. 3 .

在该具体实现中,信号失衡检测控制器500采用如图4D所示的控制方式,当输入信号

Figure S2008101097827D00111
Figure S2008101097827D00112
落在图4D所示的阴影区内输出启动失衡检测信号。需要说明的是,针对相位和幅度失衡检测可以采用相同的控制信号也可以采用不同的控制信号,如果采用相同的控制信号,分为启动失衡检测信号和停止失衡检测信号,如果采用不同的控制信号,分为启动相位失衡检测信号、停止相位失衡检测信号、启动幅度失衡检测信号和停止幅度失衡检测信号。In this specific implementation, the signal imbalance detection controller 500 adopts the control method shown in Figure 4D, when the input signal
Figure S2008101097827D00111
and
Figure S2008101097827D00112
The start-up imbalance detection signal falls within the hatched area shown in FIG. 4D. It should be noted that the same control signal or different control signals can be used for phase and amplitude unbalance detection. If the same control signal is used, it can be divided into start unbalance detection signal and stop unbalance detection signal. If different control signals are used , divided into start phase unbalance detection signal, stop phase unbalance detection signal, start amplitude unbalance detection signal and stop amplitude unbalance detection signal.

当信号失衡检测控制器500输出启动相位失衡检测信号时,选择器514输出乘法器512输出的相位误差e(k),此时的相位失衡检测器510相当于现有技术的相位失衡检测器。当信号失衡检测控制器500输出停止相位失衡检测信号时,选择器514输出常数0输出器513输出的常数0。此时常数0输出器513、选择器514、加法器515及延迟保持器516构成了前一相位失衡值输出单元,并输出未经变更的相位失衡值(即之前有效的相位失衡值)。When the signal imbalance detection controller 500 outputs the start phase imbalance detection signal, the selector 514 outputs the phase error e(k) output by the multiplier 512, and the phase imbalance detector 510 at this time is equivalent to a phase imbalance detector in the prior art. When the signal imbalance detection controller 500 outputs the stop phase imbalance detection signal, the selector 514 outputs the constant 0 output by the constant 0 output unit 513 . At this time, the constant 0 output unit 513 , the selector 514 , the adder 515 and the delay holder 516 constitute a previous phase imbalance value output unit, and output the unmodified phase imbalance value (ie, the previous valid phase imbalance value).

相位失衡补偿器520由乘法器521和加法器522构成,根据相位失衡检测器输出的相位失衡值,以I信道信号为基准补偿Q信道信号的相位失衡。The phase imbalance compensator 520 is composed of a multiplier 521 and an adder 522, and compensates the phase imbalance of the Q channel signal based on the I channel signal according to the phase imbalance value output by the phase imbalance detector.

当信号失衡检测控制器500输出启动幅度失衡检测信号时,选择器536输出乘法器534的输出幅度误差d(k),此时幅度失衡检测器530相当于与现有技术的信号失衡检测控制器。当信号失衡检测控制器500输出停止幅度失衡检测信号时,选择器536输出常数0生成器535输出的常数0。此时由常数0生成器535、加法器537及延迟保持器538可认为是用于输出之前的幅度失衡值的前一幅度失衡值输出单元。When the signal imbalance detection controller 500 outputs the starting amplitude imbalance detection signal, the selector 536 outputs the output amplitude error d(k) of the multiplier 534, and the amplitude imbalance detector 530 is equivalent to the signal imbalance detection controller of the prior art . When the signal imbalance detection controller 500 outputs the stop amplitude imbalance detection signal, the selector 536 outputs the constant 0 output by the constant 0 generator 535 . At this time, the constant 0 generator 535 , the adder 537 and the delay holder 538 can be regarded as a previous amplitude imbalance value output unit for outputting the previous amplitude imbalance value.

前一相位失衡值输出单元和前一幅度失衡值输出单元两者或其中之一构成了本发明的前一信号失衡值输出单元。Both or one of the previous phase imbalance value output unit and the previous amplitude imbalance value output unit constitutes the previous signal imbalance value output unit of the present invention.

幅度失衡补偿器540由乘法器541构成,根据幅度失衡检测器输出的幅度失衡值,以I信道信号为基准补偿Q信道信号的幅度失衡。The amplitude imbalance compensator 540 is composed of a multiplier 541, and compensates the amplitude imbalance of the Q channel signal based on the I channel signal according to the amplitude imbalance value output by the amplitude imbalance detector.

图5中μ1(k)及μ2(k)可以为常量也可以为变量。In FIG. 5, μ 1 (k) and μ 2 (k) can be constant or variable.

另外,虽然在图3和图5中示出的是以I信道信号作为基准信号对Q信道信号进行补偿,但本领域技术人员应该意识到,可以以Q信道信号作为基准信号对I信道信号进行补偿。In addition, although it is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 that the Q channel signal is compensated with the I channel signal as the reference signal, those skilled in the art should realize that the I channel signal can be compensated with the Q channel signal as the reference signal. compensate.

另外,应该注意,在图5中,当选择器514根据信号失衡检测控制器500输出启动幅度失衡检测信号而选择了乘法器512的输出时,相位失衡检测器510与现有技术的工作方式是一样。实际上本发明对相位失衡检测器510的实现没有限制,可以使用其它的相位失衡检测器510。In addition, it should be noted that in FIG. 5, when the selector 514 selects the output of the multiplier 512 according to the output of the signal imbalance detection controller 500 to start the amplitude imbalance detection signal, the working mode of the phase imbalance detector 510 and the prior art is Same. In fact, the present invention has no limitation on the implementation of the phase imbalance detector 510, and other phase imbalance detectors 510 can be used.

图6示出了根据本发明的信号失衡补偿装置的另外一种典型实现。图6示出了以Q信道信号作为基准信号对I信道信号进行补偿的方案。如图6所示,信号失衡补偿装置60由5部分构成:信号失衡检测控制器610、相位失衡检测器620、相位失衡补偿器630、幅度失衡检测器640、幅度失衡补偿器650及更新控制器660,此外还有高通滤波器601、602、触发器603、604。Fig. 6 shows another typical implementation of the signal imbalance compensation device according to the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a solution for compensating the I channel signal with the Q channel signal as the reference signal. As shown in Figure 6, the signal imbalance compensation device 60 is composed of 5 parts: a signal imbalance detection controller 610, a phase imbalance detector 620, a phase imbalance compensator 630, an amplitude imbalance detector 640, an amplitude imbalance compensator 650 and an update controller 660, in addition to high-pass filters 601, 602, flip-flops 603, 604.

应该注意到,将图6的技术方案与图3所示的本发明的技术方案以及图1和图2所示的现有技术的技术方案相比较,图6的技术方案具有一个突出的特点,即对信号失衡值(包括相位失衡值和幅度失衡值)的检测与对信号失衡值(包括相位失衡值和幅度失衡值)的补偿是针对不同路的输入信号进行的。即,如图6所示,所述输入信号被分成两路输入信号(每路输入信号都包括I路信号和Q路信号),相位失衡检测和幅度失衡检测示针对其中的一路信号进行的,而对相位失衡和对幅度失衡的补偿是对另一路信号进行的。这也是本发明的一个突出特点。It should be noted that comparing the technical solution of Fig. 6 with the technical solution of the present invention shown in Fig. 3 and the technical solution of the prior art shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the technical solution of Fig. 6 has a prominent feature, That is, the detection of the signal imbalance value (including the phase imbalance value and the amplitude imbalance value) and the compensation of the signal imbalance value (including the phase imbalance value and the amplitude imbalance value) are performed for different input signals. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the input signal is divided into two input signals (each input signal includes an I signal and a Q signal), and the phase imbalance detection and the amplitude imbalance detection are performed on one of the signals, The compensation for phase imbalance and amplitude imbalance is performed on another signal. This is also an outstanding feature of the present invention.

也就是说,在本发明的一种方案中,可以具有信号失衡检测控制器,也可以不具有信号失衡检测控制器。That is to say, in one solution of the present invention, there may or may not be a signal imbalance detection controller.

同样地,本发明提供了一种信号失衡补偿方法,该信号失衡补偿方法对输入的两路相同的输入信号进行处理,其中,该信号失衡补偿方法包括:信号失衡检测步骤,用于检测所述两路相同的输入信号中一路输入信号的信号失衡值;信号失衡补偿步骤,用于根据所述信号失衡检测器所检测出的信号失衡值,对所述两路相同的输入信号中的另一路输入信号进行补偿。Similarly, the present invention provides a signal imbalance compensation method, the signal imbalance compensation method processes two identical input signals, wherein the signal imbalance compensation method includes: a signal imbalance detection step for detecting the The signal unbalance value of one of the two identical input signals; the signal unbalance compensation step is used to correct the other of the two identical input signals according to the signal unbalance value detected by the signal unbalance detector The input signal is compensated.

本领域普通技术人员结合本发明的图6阅读了本申请之后可以清楚地知道如何实现以上的方法和装置。Those of ordinary skill in the art can clearly know how to implement the above method and device after reading this application in conjunction with FIG. 6 of the present invention.

当输入信号具备一些特点(如输入信号非常小)时,经过如图3所示数模转换器306,307后大部分被量化为0,图7为超过90%的样点被量化为0的时候相位及幅度失衡实际值、估计值的变化曲线。When the input signal has some characteristics (such as the input signal is very small), most of them are quantized to 0 after passing through the digital-to-analog converters 306 and 307 as shown in Figure 3, and Figure 7 shows that more than 90% of the sample points are quantized to 0 The change curve of the actual value and the estimated value of the phase and amplitude imbalance over time.

图7A示出了采用图2所示的常规方法对相位失衡进行估计后的相位失衡估计值与实际值,图7B示出了采用图2所示的常规方法对幅度失衡进行估计后的幅度失衡估计值与实际值;图7C示出了采用本发明对相位失衡进行估计后的相位失衡估计值与实际值,图7D示出了采用本发明对幅度失衡进行估计后的幅度失衡估计值与实际值。由此可以看出本发明的效果。Figure 7A shows the phase imbalance estimate and actual value after the phase imbalance is estimated using the conventional method shown in Figure 2, and Figure 7B shows the amplitude imbalance after the amplitude imbalance is estimated using the conventional method shown in Figure 2 Estimated value and actual value; Figure 7C shows the phase imbalance estimated value and actual value after the phase imbalance is estimated by the present invention, and Figure 7D shows the amplitude imbalance estimated value and the actual value after the amplitude imbalance is estimated by the present invention value.

,仍然采用与图3相同的控制方法。FIG. 8 shows a quadrature demodulator in the case where the input of the signal imbalance detection controller 821 is a phase-compensated and amplitude-compensated signal. As shown in Figure 8, when the input of the signal imbalance detection controller 821 is a signal after phase compensation and amplitude compensation, compared with Figure 3, the difference is that the input signal of the signal imbalance detection controller is phase and amplitude compensated After

and
Figure S2008101097827D00152
, still using the same control method as in Figure 3.

另外,应该注意,如上所述,可以对现有技术的幅度失衡检测器和相位失衡检测器进行简单的改变,来实现本发明的前一相位失衡值输出单元和前一幅度失衡值输出单元。但这只是示例性的,不是对本发明的限制,可以采用各种方法输出未变更的幅度失衡信号和未变更的相位失衡信号。例如可以采用另外的寄存器保存寄存器516中的相位失衡值和寄存器538中的幅度失衡值,然后利用切换装置,根据信号失衡检测控制器的信号,在所述另外的寄存器和寄存器516之间进行切换,以及在所述另外的寄存器与寄存器538之间进行切换。在输出寄存器516和寄存器538中的值时,同步更新所述的另外的寄存器中的值,在不输出寄存器516和寄存器538中的值时,不更新所述的另外的寄存器中的值。又例如,可以利用开关装置,根据信号失衡检测控制器的信号断开或导通e(k)向加法器515的输入。总之,本领域技术人员可以想到各种输出前一相位失衡值和幅度失衡值的方法和装置。In addition, it should be noted that, as described above, the previous phase imbalance value output unit and the previous amplitude imbalance value output unit of the present invention can be implemented by simply changing the amplitude imbalance detector and phase imbalance detector of the prior art. But this is just an example, not a limitation of the present invention, and various methods can be used to output the unaltered amplitude imbalance signal and the unaltered phase imbalance signal. For example, another register can be used to save the phase imbalance value in the register 516 and the amplitude imbalance value in the register 538, and then use a switching device to switch between the other register and the register 516 according to the signal of the signal imbalance detection controller , and switching between the additional register and register 538. When the values in the register 516 and the register 538 are output, the values in the other register are updated synchronously, and when the values in the register 516 and the register 538 are not output, the values in the other register are not updated. For another example, a switching device may be used to disconnect or conduct the input of e(k) to the adder 515 according to the signal of the signal imbalance detection controller. In a word, those skilled in the art can think of various methods and devices for outputting the previous phase imbalance value and amplitude imbalance value.

图9示出了依据本发明的一种实施方式的信号失衡补偿方法的流程图。如图9所示,首先在步骤901判断输入的I支路信号和Q支路信号是否在预定的范围内,如果在预定的范围内(步骤901,是),则在步骤902输出启动相位失衡检测信号及启动幅度失衡检测信号,并在步骤904对当前相位及幅度失衡值更新,即 &alpha; ^ ( k ) = &alpha; ^ ( k - 1 ) + &mu; 1 ( k ) &times; I ~ &prime; ( k ) &times; Q ~ &prime; ( k ) , &gamma; ^ ( k ) = &gamma; ^ ( k - 1 ) + &mu; 2 ( k ) &times; ( | I ~ &prime; ( k ) | - | Q ~ &prime; ( k ) | ) . 如果输入的I支路信号和Q支路信号不在预定的范围内(步骤901,否),则在步骤903输出停止相位失衡检测信号及停止幅度失衡检测信号,并且在步骤905中输出原来的相位及幅度失衡值,即 &alpha; ^ ( k ) = &alpha; ^ ( k - 1 ) , &gamma; ^ ( k ) = &gamma; ^ ( k - 1 ) . 这里相位及幅度检测的控制可以采用相同的控制条件也可分别采用不同的控制条件。之后,在步骤906判断是否到了针对相位及幅度失衡值进行补偿的定时,如果是,则在步骤907中将当前的相位/幅度失衡值对补偿用失衡值进行更新,即,使 &alpha; ^ = &alpha; ^ ( k ) , &gamma; ^ = &gamma; ^ ( k ) . 如果否,则继续保持当使用相位及幅度失衡值

Figure S2008101097827D00167
Figure S2008101097827D00168
不变。Fig. 9 shows a flowchart of a signal imbalance compensation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 9, at first in step 901 it is judged whether the input I branch signal and the Q branch signal are within the predetermined range, if within the predetermined range (step 901, yes), then in step 902 the output starts the phase imbalance detect the signal and start the amplitude imbalance detection signal, and update the current phase and amplitude imbalance value in step 904, namely &alpha; ^ ( k ) = &alpha; ^ ( k - 1 ) + &mu; 1 ( k ) &times; I ~ &prime; ( k ) &times; Q ~ &prime; ( k ) , &gamma; ^ ( k ) = &gamma; ^ ( k - 1 ) + &mu; 2 ( k ) &times; ( | I ~ &prime; ( k ) | - | Q ~ &prime; ( k ) | ) . If the input I-branch signal and Q-branch signal are not within the predetermined range (step 901, No), then output stop phase unbalance detection signal and stop amplitude unbalance detection signal in step 903, and output the original phase in step 905 and amplitude imbalance value, namely &alpha; ^ ( k ) = &alpha; ^ ( k - 1 ) , &gamma; ^ ( k ) = &gamma; ^ ( k - 1 ) . Here, the control of the phase and amplitude detection can adopt the same control condition or can adopt different control conditions respectively. Afterwards, in step 906, it is judged whether it is time to compensate the phase and amplitude imbalance value, and if so, in step 907, the current phase/amplitude imbalance value is updated to the compensation imbalance value, that is, using &alpha; ^ = &alpha; ^ ( k ) , &gamma; ^ = &gamma; ^ ( k ) . If not, continue to hold when using phase and amplitude imbalance values
