Description

A kind of power amplifier linearization method and device based on base band digital predistortion technology
Technical field
The present invention relates to signal of communication and handle, relate in particular to a kind of linearization technique and device in the communication equipment for power amplifier (PA, Power Amplifier).
Background technology
In Modern Communication System, for effectively utilizing the radio spectrum bandwidth and guaranteeing the lower error rate, adopt linearity modulation technique more, as QAM, QPSK, OQPSK and π/4DQPSK etc.Yet, adopt the envelope of the signal of these linearity modulation techniques to change, and the envelope that changes is for power amplifier, especially high power amplifier (HPA, High Power Amplifier) is non-linear very sensitive, can cause nonlinear distortion.Nonlinear distortion can cause two kinds of serious results: the one, and the distortion of receiver signal; Another kind is an out-of-band power.The distortion of received signal will cause the decline of systematic function, not reach the purpose of signal transmission; Out-of-band power and intermodulation component will produce the neighboring trace of transmitter carrier frequency and disturb, and influence other user's normal transmission signal.
The transmitter intermediate power amplifier is carried out linearisation five kinds of common methods is arranged: feed-forward technique, negative-feedback technology, envelope eliminate and restoration methods (EER), based on Linear magnifying technology in high (LINC), the pre-distortion technology of nonlinear device.
In these technology, pre-distortion technology is used as one of compensated amplifier nonlinear distortion best techniques and has obtained extensively adopting, and this draws from bandwidth, linearity raising index, third order intermodulation raising index, efficient, the lateral comparison of complexity Several Factors.Pre-distortion technology is exactly to modulate nonlinear block of insertion between later input signal and the main power amplifier level, this nonlinear block accurately produces the opposite distortion product of distortion that produces with power amplifier, transmission feature after making both make up presents the linearisation characteristic, thereby offsets the nonlinear distortion of power amplifier.If the variation that this predistortion module of design can the follower amplifier nonlinear characteristic, the decline of this method systematic function of just can real-Time Compensation drawing by factors such as temperature, supply voltage, pipe wear out so.
A kind of common implementation method of pre-distortion technology is based on look-up table (LUT, Look-Up Table) method, in advance pre-distortion parameters is stored among the LUT, the power that utilizes input signal is as index address, index suitable pre-distortion parameters from LUT, again input signal is carried out pre-distortion.
In above-mentioned pre-distortion technology, because the implementation complexity of pre-distortion technology and the size of LUT and the highway width of signal variable have direct relation.In the method for traditional generation X and Y index, adopted signal power as measuring means, with utilize signal amplitude and compare as the tolerance means, signal power is the square value of signal amplitude, adopt signal power many greatly as the metric signal bus width that metric needs more than the employing signal amplitude as metric, this has directly influenced the implementation complexity of system.
In addition, the size of the performance of pre-distortion system and predistortion LUT exists direct relation.Theoretically, LUT is big more, and the resolution of the pre-distortion parameters of LUT storage inside is also just high more, just can reflect the variations in detail of input signal more, thereby make the effect of predistortion good more, and the system linearity degree is high more; Otherwise the performance of system is just poor more.But the size of LUT can not be infinitely great; Must system be under the energy perhaps, just require under the certain situation of LUT reflected signal precision, because the span of power measurement value is much larger than the span of amplitude metric, so the complexity that power method requires will be higher requiring.
According to above-mentioned analysis, traditional pre-distortion technology has poor-performing, the higher shortcoming of complexity.Especially when hardware is realized, for example adopt DSP (Digital Signal Processor, digital signal processor) or FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, field programmable gate array) when realizing, the span of signal also will directly influence the complexity of system.

Figure BSA000002696520000910
When carrying out pre-distortion, system also will carry out the adaptive updates adjustment to the predistortion look-up table, and it is consistent with the distorted characteristic of power amplifier that predistortion look-up table parameter is remained.The self adaptation adjustment process of predistortion look-up table is to obtain the output signal of power amplifier and convert baseband feedback signal to by feedback network, utilizes this signal with corresponding desired signal the predistortion look-up table to be carried out adaptive updates again.Concrete renewal process is as follows:
