Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of communication system intermediate power amplifier field, relate in particular to a kind of power amplifier module grid voltage autocompensation installation and method.
Background technology
The quiescent point of RF power amplification pipe has temperature characterisitic, and its static working current changes the indexs such as gain, efficient and linearity of the system that can influence.Therefore, keeping the quiescent point of power tube at work constant is one of power amplifier module key for design point.The quiescent point of keeping power tube is constant just to need real-time operating state offset gate pole tension by power amplifier module, and the grid voltage compensation scheme of industry mainly contains two kinds now: the digital temperature compensation of thermosensitive circuit simulation temperature compensation and table-look-up type.
The principle of thermosensitive circuit simulation temperature compensation is: utilize the temperature characterisitic of temperature-sensitive device to drive triode change output voltage, control the grid of power tube again with this voltage.Reach the grid voltage of power tube is changed with variations in temperature, keep the constant purpose of static working current.The advantage of this scheme is: circuit is simple, with low cost; Shortcoming is: the consistency temperature bad, temperature-sensitive device of debugging trouble, finished product power amplifier is floated the temperature that curve is difficult to cover power tube and is floated curve.
The principle of table-look-up type numeral temperature compensation is: the temperature variant grid voltage compensation meter that utilizes single-chip microcomputer and EEPROM to store, cycle detection temperature and table look-up according to temperature value and to obtain grid voltage offset during work is exported control voltage through digital to analog converter again.The advantage of this scheme is: can simulate the line segment of different curvature, because the temperature characterisitic of power tube neither be linear fully, therefore can make perfect temperature compensation curve; The shortcoming of this scheme is: when not considering overtemperature to the protection of power tube and compensation, store the temperature compensation data with EEPROM independently and cause cost to increase, do not consider pressing the influence of variation with Louing the power tube quiescent point.
