Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of remote radio unit (RRU) system, relate in particular to a kind of remote radio unit (RRU) system power amplifier overpower protection method.
Background technology
Remote radio unit (RRU) (RRU) is a part important in the 3G communication system, for being attached to a communication module of base station (NODE B).The RRU major function is to finish the blind area to cover, and reduces base station number, and this module can be delivered to the upper-level BTS that is depended on data by optical fiber.
RRU has the radio frequency transmit and receive function, and the realization of emission function depends on power amplifier module, and the quality of power amplifier module is determining radio-frequency (RF) index quality and the covering power of RRU.RRU has very high requirement to the Overall Power Consumption index simultaneously, and the power consumption of RRU depends on the efficient of power amplifier module to a great extent, therefore all can improve the efficient of power amplifier in design as far as possible, allows power amplifier work in the scope of its limit.The drawback of bringing like this is exactly that power amplifier is very fragile, and instantaneous big slightly signal input just might be burnt power amplifier.And might occur unusually owing to link in the course of work that is created in RRU of large-signal.
Therefore how power amplifier effectively being protected is major issue in the RRU system.Conventional method is to add the simulation protective circuit in power amplifier, and this method has improved the manufacturing cost of power amplifier on the one hand, has increased the volume of power amplifier; It also is limited to the protection of large-signal input on the other hand, and the large-signal that surpasses certain power bracket can make power amplifier burn equally.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is in order to overcome the defective that above-mentioned conventional method exists, a kind of remote radio unit (RRU) system power amplifier overpower protection method is provided.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
The present invention is different from the conventional method that can only protect the certain limit large-signal; a kind of method that can suppress the large-signal input fully is provided; this method is to realize at numeric field; its large-signal to required inhibition can define flexibly; for example power and duration; this can make its power amplifier to different qualities carry out different protection strategies; can reach the effect of shielding fully for the large-signal on the specified thresholds; and this method need not to increase extra device circuitry, only needs as field programmable gate array (FPGA) device integrated get final product of a functional module in RRU.
Specifically, this method is that the tail end of the field programmable gate array (FPGA) in the remote radio unit (RRU) system is provided with power amplifier overpower protection module;
Power amplifier overpower protection module comprises can join time delay module, can join power meter module and gate controlled switch module;
Its interactive relation is:
Can join time delay module to the input signal output of delaying time, delay value can dispose, and its role is to the signal of regulation duration is carried out buffer memory, for power statistic provides the time, guarantees that large-signal can actual transmission not go out in the power statistic process;
Can join the power meter module signal of regulation duration is carried out the realtime power statistics, duration can dispose arbitrarily, and numerical value is provided with identical with the delay value that can join time delay module usually;
The gate controlled switch module is controlled by single control line, and two states is arranged, straight-through and output zero; In the time can joining power meter module output statistics power greater than appointed threshold, just represent input signal power excessive, can turn-off output, be output as zero; When input power during less than appointed threshold, the output of gate controlled switch module is communicated with input.
Operation principle of the present invention is: in the RRU system, a spot of several microsecond time-delay is an acceptable, the present invention is according to this characteristic, carry out suitable time-delay to transmitting, and in this section time-delay process, the time delayed signal realtime power is added up, in case find the excessive situation of power, gate controlled switch will turn-off, have only after the power of input signal is normal, gate controlled switch just reopens.
The present invention has following advantage and good effect:
1. realizing simply need not to increase additional devices and circuit, is a kind of pure software implementation method;
2. user flexibility definition large signal characteristic is realized fully accurately intercepting to the large-signal under its definition;
3. be applicable to that signal allows suitable time-delay, the signal transmitting system that power amplifier needs protection.
