Description

Improve the device of linearity of radio-frequency power amplifier
Technical field
The present invention relates to the radio-frequency power amplifier linearization technique in wireless communication technology, be specifically related to radio-frequency power and putThe feedforward linearized technology of large device specifically, is a kind of device that improves linearity of radio-frequency power amplifier.
Background technology
Along with the development of wireless communication technology, emerge more and more advanced communication standards, as WCDMA, TD-SCDMA,WIMAX, LTE etc., adopts the much higher ZAP of the availability of frequency spectrum and complicated digital modulation mode, as 3G communicationWCDMA standard downlink transfer adopts QPSK modulation technique, and LTE adopts OFDM modulation technique. But this mode causes base band letterNumber have very wide bandwidth and very high peak-to-average force ratio, this has brought more stern challenge to design of power amplifier. In power amplifier designIn, efficiency and linearity are two key factors must considering. In the time of the signal of high peak-to-average force ratio, power amplifier need to be operated in power and returnMove back region, cause the efficiency of power amplifier greatly to reduce. In the time that power amplifier is operated in zone of saturation, efficiency has improved, but has occurred tightHeavy distortion, main manifestations is AM-AM/AM-PM distortion, causes signal spectrum expansion. Meanwhile, the increase of signal bandwidth, power amplifierMemory effect strengthen, these are all that design and the linearisation of power amplifier proposed new challenge.
Power amplifier linearization method mainly contains 4 kinds at present: rollback method, negative-feedback method, pre-distortion method and feed forward approach. Rollback method isPower amplifier is operated in to rollback district, its essence is that the efficiency of sacrifice power amplifier improves the linearity of power amplifier. Rollback method is simply and easily realExisting, but the efficiency of power amplifier obviously reduces, and also the memory effect of power amplifier cannot avoid by back-off, so necessaryPower back is combined with other linearization techniques. Negative-feedback method is a kind of appearance linearization technique early, due toThe stability that is difficult to guarantee system in radio frequency situation, does not generally directly adopt RF FEEDBACK, but adopts modulation feedback techniqueMake system works at low frequency state. Conventional modulation feedback technique has envelope negative-feedback, polar coordinates modulation negative-feedback and DescartesModulation negative-feedback. The advantage of negative-feedback method is simple in structure, and the inhibition of Intermodulation Interference is better simultaneously. But negative-feedback method isClosed-loop system, the gain of amplifier must meet enough large, and to realize high-gain and high distortion suppression, loop delay is negative simultaneouslyThe key constraints of feedback, at high band, loop delay can reach several carrier cycles, and this has just restricted the work of linearizerMake bandwidth. In addition, negative-feedback method is existence and stability problem also. So negative-feedback method is applicable to single carrier, single channel situation, be suitable forPower amplifier in mobile phone. Pre-distortion technology was simulated merit by predistorter at signal exactly before amplifying by power amplifierThe contrary characteristic of putting, whole system performance is linear like this. Pre-distortion technology can be divided into according to the difference of predistorter processing signalsAnalog predistortion and digital pre-distortion. Analog predistortion technology adopts analog circuit to realize predistorter conventionally, has the letter of realizationSingle, with low cost, unconditional stability and be easy to the advantages such as high-frequency wideband application, but spectral re-growth component is suppressed to less, lineProperty improvement is subject to the impact of duty and environment, and high-order spectrum component is offset more difficult. Digital pre-distortion technology has two kinds of realitiesExisting mode, a kind of is to realize by the parameter model of non-linear radio frequency power amplifier, another kind passes through look-up tables'implementation. Digital pre-distortionHave and realize simply, be easy to signal processing, can obtain wider bandwidth, the advantage such as linearisation is effective, but digital pre-distortionModeling need the baseband signal bandwidth of at least 5 times, the effect of predistortion and the model of power amplifier have direct relation, and numeral is in advanceThe hardware of distortion is realized also relative complex. The basic thought of feed-forward technique is that the distorted signal sample that main power amplifier is produced is anti-forwardBe fed to amplifier out, thereby the distorted signal of amplifier out is offseted greatly.
Simplification system block diagram as Fig. 1 is conventional feed forward technology. Traditional feed forward systems comprises two loops, is respectivelyFirst-harmonic is offset loop and error cancellation loop. Radio-frequency input signals is divided into two paths of signals through power splitter, and a road is through main power amplifierMPA, coupler C1, attenuator A1, phase shifter P1, coupler C2, another road is through delay line L1, coupler C2, and this two-way is believedNumber form first-harmonic and offset loop. The effect of delay line is that the two paths of signals up and down that ensures first-harmonic counteracting loop postpones to aim at. WarpThe signal process delay line of the straight-through end output of coupler C1 arrives merit and closes device, declines through the signal process of the straight-through end output of coupler C2Subtract device A2, phase shifter P2, secondary power amplifier DPA and arrive merit and close device, this two paths of signals has formed error cancellation loop. Same error counteractingThe delay line L2 of loop aims at for the delay that ensures upper and lower two paths of signals. It is defeated that first-harmonic counteracting loop is used for offsetting main power amplifier MPAThe first-harmonic composition going out, produces error signal. Error cancellation loop is mainly to error signal adjustment, ensures error signal and main meritThe signal amplitude equal phase of putting MPA output is contrary, closes device error signal feed-in main path signal like this through merit, offsets main roadThe distortion components of signal. The implementation structure complexity of conventional feed forward technology as can be seen from Figure 1, and adjustment difficulty to signalGreatly, along with the variation of condition of work and working environment, the amplitude of feedforward loop circuit and phase place can change, linearisation effect simultaneouslyCan obviously decline.

Through the inputoutput data of alignment, according to adaptive algorithm, settling signalProcessing, output control signal. Due to unsatisfactory in vector modulator reality, IQ data be not 90 ° orthogonal, so needIn DSP, compensate IQ imbalance. Because signal will be through DAC, reconfigurable filter and some analog lines, certainly lead to linear mistakeVery, so need to carry out channel equalization to delivery channel. Can obtain the concrete signal processing flow of DSP as Fig. 6 by analyzing.
