Description

Radio frequency signal amplification system and method using feedback control
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a radio-frequency (RF) signal amplification system and method, and more particularly, to a RF signal amplification system and method using feedback control.
Background
Many forms of wireless communication employ radio frequency transmission. A radio frequency carrier signal may be modulated to carry information. The modulated radio frequency carrier signal may be amplified and transmitted. In order to prevent distortion of the information carried by the modulated radio frequency carrier signal, it is generally desirable to maintain relative linearity of the amplification process.
For example, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems typically use a radio frequency amplifier to drive a radio frequency coil located within its primary magnetic structure. The rf amplifier receives as its input a series of pulses generated by an external rf source and generates as its output a series of pulses of increased power that are transmitted and used to drive the rf coil. The increased image quality requirements result in greater magnetic induction (in tesla) of the magnets used, which requires greater rf amplifier output power. However, the greater output power may introduce non-linearities in the gain and phase of the radio frequency amplifier into the system, resulting in distortion of the MRI image. To avoid such a situation, it is necessary to correct a non-linearity factor introduced during radio frequency amplification to maintain linearity.
An effective way to maintain linearity is to control the modulator with a feedback signal to correct for non-linearity of the amplified radio frequency signal. However, in current control methods, such as Cartesian Loop (Cartesian Loop) feedback methods, the amplitude and phase are coupled to each other, which reduces the response speed of the feedback. For the polar loop feedback method, additional components (e.g., a phase-locked loop or a detector) are needed to detect the amplitude and phase, which limits the bandwidth of the whole system due to the slow response of the phase detector. In the digital control approach, when input in Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), it is necessary to sample the phase information and "translate" it into a phase shift of the DDS. Further, other limitations and disadvantages of existing systems will become apparent to one of skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings in which several aspects of the invention are described.

The embodiment of the invention provides a radio frequency signal amplification system, which comprises a radio frequency amplifier and a feedback control loop, wherein the feedback control loop can realize high linearity and high stability under different loads and obtain constant gain (namely magnitude proportion between an output signal and an input signal). The feedback control loop comprises mutually independent amplitude and phase control loops for controlling amplitude and phase independently of each other such that the amplitude and phase responses can be independently optimized to achieve a high bandwidth, e.g. a high bandwidth that meets the requirements of an MRI system. In this way, the RF amplifier can be compensated and stabilized with a fast response speed under different load conditions. By feedback controlling using different feedback signals, e.g. the output power or current of the amplifier, a stable power gain or a stable current source can be obtained. More specifically, in the system or method described herein, the output power or the output current of the amplifier can be used as a feedback signal for feedback control, and when the output power is used as the feedback signal for control, a stable power gain can be obtained, and when the output current is used as the feedback signal for control, a stable current source can be obtained.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a radio frequency amplification system 100 using mutually independent amplitude and phase feedback loops in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. The system 100 modulates and amplifies a radio frequency signal to produce an output signal, such as a power or current output signal. In the system 100 as shown, the radio frequency signal 102 is modulated by a modulator 112 to produce a modulated radio frequency signal 104, and the modulated radio frequency signal 104 is amplified by an amplifier 114 to produce an amplified radio frequency output signal 106 that is fed to a transmit coil 116. The modulator 112 and amplifier 114 may be in any suitable form, and they may be integrated in one apparatus or device, or may be separately provided in different apparatuses or devices, depending on the particular application or need. In a particular embodiment, the amplifier 114 is a power amplifier. The feedback control loop 120 is used to correct for distortion or non-linearity introduced by the amplifier 114, which allows the rf signal 102 to be modulated based on a feedback corrected control signal, so that the distortion or non-linearity introduced by the amplifier 114 can be corrected. As shown, the feedback control loop 120 includes an amplitude feedback loop 130 and a phase feedback loop 150, which may be used independently of each other to adjust amplitude and phase, respectively. A feedback signal 172 is obtained by sampling the output signal 106 by means of a sampling device 170 for amplitude and phase adjustment in the amplitude feedback loop 130 and the phase feedback loop 150. The sampling device 170 may be a coupler for obtaining a power feedback signal or a sensor (e.g., a current sensor) for obtaining a current feedback signal.
For amplitude regulation, the amplitude of the output of the amplifier 114 is detected from the feedback signal 172 in the amplitude regulation loop 130 by an amplitude detector 132. Generally, the amplitude detector comprises a rectifier and a low-pass filter. The output amplitude of the amplifier 114 is then compared to a reference amplitude by a comparator 134. The comparator may be a processor, a computer or an analog comparator, etc. The difference between the output amplitude and the reference amplitude is treated as an error and is used by the input controller 136 to control the input of the amplifier 114. The controller 136 may include a filter (e.g., a low pass filter) to stabilize the system, and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to improve response speed and eliminate static errors. In some embodiments, the gain of the filter and the parameters of the PID controller may be adjusted to optimize the transient response of the system.
For phase adjustment, in the phase feedback loop 150, as shown in fig. 1, a Local Oscillator (LO) 152, modulators 154 and 155, and a 90 ° phase shifter 156, or further two filters (e.g., low pass filters) 157 and 158 may be included to convert the vector of the feedback signal 172 into a quadrature scalar to generate an IQ signal as shown in fig. 3, where I and Q represent the in-phase component and the quadrature component of the waveform, respectively.
Since I/Q = tan (α), where α is the phase difference between the feedback signal and the local oscillator, it can be any value between 0 and 360 °WhereinIt may also be any value between 0 and 360 deg. for a target phase shift of the amplifier output relative to the local oscillator.
If it is notNot equal to 90 or 270,
if the high-order errors are ignored,
when in usePhase error =0, indicating no phase error.
Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not(i.e., determining whether or not to) To determine if there is a phase error. Is believed to be whenWithout phase error whenThere is a phase error. Due to the fact thatIs a predetermined constant, and can be easily and conveniently compared with I and I by a comparatorA comparison is made and based on the comparison it is determined whether there is a phase error.
In a particular embodiment of the present invention,can be preset to 45 degrees, so that whether the angle is larger or not can be judged(i.e., whether I = Q) to determine whether there is a phase error. A comparator may be used to compare I and Q, and if I = Q, it is determined that there is no phase error, and if I ≠ Q, it is determined that there is a phase error.
If it is notEqual to 90 deg. or 270 deg., it can be determined whether there is a phase error by determining whether Q is equal to 0. A comparator may be used to compare Q and 0, and if Q =0, it is determined that there is no phase error, and if Q ≠ 0, it is determined that there is a phase error.
For example, ifNot equal to 90 or 270, as shown in fig. 1, in the phase feedback loop 150, Q is multiplied by the product function 159Multiplication to obtainComparing I and I with comparator 162If I is not equal toAnd judging that the phase error exists. Integrator 164 and phase shifter 166 are used to accumulate phase error and gradually adjust the phase in response to the phase error until I equalsIn this way the output phase of the amplifier can be adjusted to a constant phase with respect to the local oscillator, e.g. if I/Q is kept at 1 (i.e. I = Q), the output phase of the amplifier can be kept at a phase shifted by 45 ° with respect to the local oscillator.
If it is notEqual to 90 deg. or 270 deg., some modification may be made to the phase feedback loop. For example, a system 200 similar to system 100, shown in FIG. 2, has one suitable for useEqual to 90 deg. or 270 deg., which is the same or similar to system 100 except for the phase feedback loop. In thatEqual to 90 deg. or 270 deg., system 200 may be used. In system 200, phase feedback loop 250 includes a comparator 262 for comparing Q to 0, and it can be determined that a phase error exists when Q is not equal to 0. Integrator 264 and phase shifter 266 may be used to accumulate phase error and adjust the phase stepwise in response to the phase error until Q equals 0, respectively.
The system described herein can control amplitude and phase independently of each other, and since no phase lock is necessary, no additional hardware is required to lock the phase, and a faster response can be obtained. The system can be integrated into firmware, such as that of an MRI exciter, to achieve better performance amplifier compensation without the need to rotate the amplifier during manufacture. An amplifier with the system can directly drive various loads to obtain a constant gain.
The amplitude feedback loop may be implemented in different embodiments, for example, in the system 300 shown in fig. 4, an amplitude feedback loop 330 including an amplitude function 331 and a filter (e.g., a low pass filter) is used. Wherein the amplitude function 331 obtains the feedback amplitude from the IQ signal obtained from the feedback signalThe feedback amplitude is compared to a reference amplitude to determine an error for amplitude adjustment. In thatThe remainder of the system 300 may be the same as or similar to that of system 100, not equal to 90 or 270. In thatEqual to 90 ° or 270 °, the remainder of the system 300 may be the same as or similar to that of system 200.
For another example, in a system 400 as shown in fig. 5, an amplitude feedback loop 430 is employed that includes a band pass filter 431, an absolute value function 432, and a low pass filter 433. With such an amplitude feedback loop, the feedback signal is filtered by a pass filter 431, the absolute value is taken by an absolute value function 432, the absolute value is further filtered by a low pass filter 433, and the further filtered value is then used to compare with a reference amplitude. Similar to system 200, the remainder of system 400 may be the same as or similar to that of system 100 or 200. Here, the absolute value function may be defined as f (x) = | x |, where:
in some embodiments, to enhance small signalsAs shown in FIG. 6, in a system 500 similar to system 100, a coordinate adjustment loop 580 is added to the phase feedback loop 550 to rotate the reference coordinate so that the phase difference α between the feedback signal and the local oscillator is at a predetermined value from the initial operationAre equal. For example, in one particular embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, if one is to do soSet at 45 deg., the reference coordinate may be rotated so that α equals 45 deg., so that it can be determined whether a phase error exists by determining whether I equals QAny angle in the range of 0 to 360, such as 30 or 60, etc., may be set.
Referring again to FIG. 6, the coordinate regulation loop 580 communicates with the integrator 564 through a switch 582, the switch 582 is switchable between a first position 583, in which the phase feedback loop 550 is closed, and a second position 584, in which the coordinate regulation loop 580 is closed, the coordinate regulation loop 580 is a loop connecting the comparator 562 and the integrator 564 to the modulator 512 through the local oscillator 552 and the phase shifter 504, in initial operation, the coordinate regulation loop 580 is closed so that the reference coordinate may be rotated to an appropriate position to ensure α is equal to the predetermined value. Switch 582 is then switched to close the phase feedback loop 550 to achieve phase feedback control. Similarly, such coordinate adjustment loops may also be added to the system 200.
In some embodiments, a feed forward loop may also be added to the system described herein to allow the system to achieve a faster response speed. The feed forward loop may reverse the gain and phase characteristics of the analog amplifier, introducing "predistortion" into the input of the amplifier to counteract possible non-linearities of the amplifier. This reduces distortion and enhances the overall linearity of the system.
In some embodiments, an amplitude feed forward loop may be added to introduce "amplitude predistortion" to the input of the amplifier to pre-compensate for amplitude non-linearities that may be present in the amplifier. The amplitude feed forward loop may include a feed forward predistortion look up table or predistortion circuit to receive the reference amplitude to determine accordingly how much "amplitude predistortion" needs to be introduced into the input of the amplifier. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in a system 700 similar to system 100, a feed forward predistortion look-up table 792 is added between the reference amplitude and a summer 794 coupled between the PID controller 738 and the modulator 712 to form an amplitude feed forward loop 790. The feedforward predistortion look-up table 792 receives the reference amplitude to determine accordingly how much "amplitude predistortion" needs to be introduced, so that an appropriate amount of "amplitude predistortion" can be introduced in the amplifier front-end to pre-compensate for possible amplifier non-linearities.
Similarly, a phase feed forward loop can be added to allow the system to achieve a faster response speed. In addition, the aforementioned coordinate adjustment loop and/or feed forward loop may also be added to the system 200.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications and variations may be made to the invention. It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
