Embodiment
The below describes embodiments of the invention in detail, and the example of described embodiment is shown in the drawings, and wherein same or similar label represents same or similar element or the element with identical or similar functions from start to finish.Be exemplary below by the embodiment that is described with reference to the drawings, only be used for explaining the present invention, and can not be interpreted as limitation of the present invention.
At first peak value window method, noise shaping scheme and peak value offset scheme are introduced the present invention in order better to explain.
Specifically, peak value window method (PW-CFR, Peak Window-Crest Factor Reduction) refer to will be higher than the hard peak clipping pulse of thresholding through filter smoothing, come the expansion of inhibition zone external spectrum, its performance depends on the window that adopts and the length of window.Filter order is higher, affects sampled point more, and the EVM index worsens just larger.On the other hand, multicarrier the probability of continuous peak value occurs in a period of time can be larger, because the filter of higher-order number may cause the situation that signal is repeated weighting, peak value window method is carried out the just desirable slicing effect of impossible acquisition of peak clipping to multi-carrier signal like this during the realization of peak value window crest suppression method.
Noise shaping scheme (NS-CFR, Noise Shaping-Crest Factor Reduction) refers to by calculating the peak clipping threshold value of input signal power acquisition dynamic change, then cut down all sampled points that surpass some thresholdings based on this threshold value, and the error signal of calculating and primary signal.Error signal is subsequently by noise shaping, dropped within the signal band by the noise that amplitude limit causes guaranteeing.Through the subsequently cancellation from primary signal of noise shaped error signal, thereby reduce PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio, papr).Above-mentioned processing may cause peak value again to rise.
Peak value offset scheme PC-CFR technology refers to adopt the technology that is similar to NS-CFR to dwindle PAPR.Yet different from above-mentioned NS-CFR is that the offseting signal of being regenerated by spectrum shaping in the PC-CFR scheme is based on peak value sampling point, namely surpasses the maximum in the thresholding area sampling point.This signal is used to cut down the parent mass peak value signal above thresholding after the suitable delay disposal of process.As the method for simplifying of only cutting down with the peak value sampling point, its distortion factor is less, and only needs computation burden still less.
Comprehensive three kinds of methods, the PC-CFR complexity is minimum, and performance is also better.But, when the present situation of PC-CFR peak clipping algorithm is present Realization of Product, do not consider not also that generally the power of carrier wave and the EVM under the different modulating mode require difference, its peak-to-average force ratio that can suppress is limited.

With TD-SCDMA system example, self-adapting peak-clipping method and device that the embodiment of the invention provides are described among Fig. 4~Fig. 8, the performance when considering the EVM of intercarrier power and different modulating mode.
The below just considers respectively intercarrier power and considers that the carrier modulation mode describes.
(1) considers intercarrier power.

As can be seen from Table 2, when waiting gain PC-CFR peak clipping, No. 1 carrier wave is because power is less, and mis-behave is larger after the peak clipping, reaches 13.9%.And when considering carrier power, No. 1 carrier wave EVM is 5.1%.By relatively can finding, when considering carrier power after the peak clipping performance improvement a lot, other carrier waves EVM only has small deterioration.
(2) consider the carrier modulation mode.
For 12 carrier waves, the carrier wave constant power.Table 3 is two kinds of EVM performance comparison under the different peak clipping modes.As shown in table 3, carrier number is that 1~4 carrier modulation mode is 64QAM, and carrier number is that 5~8 carrier modulation mode is 16QAM, and carrier number is that 9~12 carrier modulation mode is QPSK, and SF=1, peak clipping thresholding are 6.0dB.The frequency spectrum of the signal when Fig. 6 is not peak clipping, abscissa are the frequency of primary signal, and unit is MHz; Ordinate is the power of primary signal, and unit is dB.
Fig. 7 is signal peak-to-average ratio CCDF comparison diagram before and after the peak clipping.In Fig. 7, abscissa is PAR, and unit is dB; Ordinate is that contrary accumulated probability distributes (CCDF), and unit is %.In Fig. 7, the power before black circle ".

Fig. 8 is the spectrogram of peak clipping filter, and abscissa is the frequency of primary signal, and unit is MHz; Ordinate is the power of primary signal, and unit is dB.
Table 3 is two kinds of EVM performance comparison under the different peak clipping modes.
Table 3
As can be seen from Table 3, when peak-to-average force ratio is cut to 6dB, adopt and wait each carrier wave EVM performance of gain PC-CFR scheme to approach.And consider modulation system PC-CFR scheme because the carrier wave of high-order modulating is had less peak clipping weights, so the peak clipping degree is lighter, EVM compares and waits the PC-CFR scheme better performances that gains.For the carrier wave of low-order-modulated mode, it is less better that EVM such as compares at the gain PC-CFR scheme.For waiting gain PC-CFR, the 1st, No. 4 just discontented football association view requirements of carrier wave, and each the carrier wave EVM of method that considers modulation system PC-CFR satisfies protocol requirement, considers that therefore the antijamming capability difference of modulation system can further reduce peak-to-average force ratio under the prerequisite that guarantees the EVM protocol requirement.
Because carrier power and modulation system can change along with the factors such as continuous variation of channel circumstance, the self-adapting peak-clipping method that the embodiment of the invention provides and device can come self adaptation to adjust peak clipping filter gain value according to current carrier power and modulation system, reach than low peak average ratio, guarantee simultaneously the EVM performance of carrier wave under the various modulation systems.
The self-adapting peak-clipping method and the device that provide by the embodiment of the invention, the difference that considers multi-carrier power is different without the antijamming capability of the carrier wave of modulation system with employing, the EVM deterioration problem when having solved the emission of multicarrier compound modulation and unequal power.Under the condition that satisfies EVM and ACLR requirement, under the high order modulation pattern, can obtain better peak clipping effect simultaneously, so that the multi-transceiver combination signal after the peak clipping has more low peak average ratio, reduce greatly the power amplifier cost.
