Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.
The systematic schematic diagram of the gain compensation technology for OFDM power line carrier communication chip provided by the present invention as shown in Figure 1, comprise the core circuit module of gain compensation technology and the Signal reception path of ofdm communication chip, the core circuit of in fact described gain compensation technology is a part for chip signal receiving path, there is relatively independent function, but the course of work needs whole receiving path collaborative work.
As shown in Figure 1, the core circuit module of described gain compensation technology comprises variable gain compensation device 03 frequently, and signal power testing circuit 07, gain compensation approaches logical zero 8.Described ofdm communication chip receiving path other circuit comprise automatic gain amplifier (AGC) 01, band pass filter (BPF) 02, controllable gain amplifier (PGA) 04, analog to digital converter (ADC) 05, other digital circuits 06.
The Signal reception process of described ofdm communication chip is as follows: first signal enters into AGC and carry out pre-amplification, then BPF elimination out of band signal is delivered to, then deliver in frequency variable gain compensation device and carry out gain compensation, then deliver to PGA and carry out signal amplification, then deliver in ADC and be converted to digital signal, digital signal is admitted in digital circuit carries out various process.The calibration process of described gain compensation technology also depends on above-mentioned Signal reception process, unlike the testing result needed during calibration according to signal power testing circuit, adjusted, until obtain compensated curve the most suitable by the compensated curve of gain compensation logic to frequency variable gain compensation device.
Fig. 2 is the attenuation characteristic of power line communication channel to different frequency signals, has frequency higher, the characteristic that signal attenuation is larger.As shown in Figure 2, the signal frequency range of ofdm communication chip is f1 to f2, and what power line communication channel went out frequency f 1 decays to A1, decays to A2, wherein A1<A2 to frequency f 2 place.In general, in order to ensure the reliability and stability communicated, the distance of f1 and f2 is unsuitable excessive, and now power line channel is approximately linear to the signal attenuation characteristic in f1 to f2 frequency range.This has certain directive significance to the compensated curve characteristic of the frequency variable gain compensation device designed by the present invention.
The compensated curve of described frequency variable gain compensation device as shown in Figure 3.Frequency variable gain compensation utensil designed by the present invention has adjustable function, can provide the frequency weighting curve that gang's slope is different.This race's compensated curve has following features: have identical compensating gain G1 at frequency f 1 place, is respectively G1, G2 in its gain of frequency f 2 place ... Gn, and meet following two constraints:
