一种提升功放能效的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法An Adaptive Polarization-QAM Joint Modulation Method for Improving Power Amplifier Energy Efficiency

技术领域technical field

本发明属于无线通信技术领域,特别涉及自适应极化—QAM联合调制技术和OFDM系统中功放的非线性效应对能效的影响。具体地说,是一种基于自适应极化—QAM联合调制的OFDM系统功放能效提升方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular relates to an adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation technology and the influence of nonlinear effects of power amplifiers in OFDM systems on energy efficiency. Specifically, it is an OFDM system power amplifier energy efficiency improvement method based on adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation.

背景技术Background technique

在正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing:OFDM)系统中,作为OFDM系统发射单元中关键组成部分的功率放大器(Power Amplifier:PA)是能源消耗的主要部分,约占终端总能耗的60%-70%,但在此高能耗下功放的能量转换效率仅为5%-10%,这是因为功放需要工作在线性区从而避免非线性失真,而线性区的能量转换效率较低。此外,OFDM信号具有的高峰均比特性会进一步增大对功放线性度的要求,使避免功放非线性失真变得更加困难。In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system, the power amplifier (Power Amplifier: PA), which is a key component of the OFDM system transmitting unit, is the main part of energy consumption, accounting for about 10% of the total energy consumption of the terminal. 60%-70%, but the energy conversion efficiency of the power amplifier is only 5%-10% under this high energy consumption. This is because the power amplifier needs to work in the linear region to avoid nonlinear distortion, and the energy conversion efficiency in the linear region is low. In addition, the peak-to-average ratio characteristic of the OFDM signal will further increase the requirements on the linearity of the power amplifier, making it more difficult to avoid nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier.

目前,在无线通信中已有一些关于抑制功放非线性失真与提升功放能效的研究。第一类方法从改变信号特征入手,通过限幅、滤波、编码等方式降低OFDM信号的峰均比,从而降低功放非线性对OFDM信号的影响。但这一类方法多使功放工作在线性区,从而限制了功放能效的提升。第二类方法是从消除功放非线性失真入手,使用前馈、负反馈、预失真等技术对非线性功放进行线性化处理。但由于功放存在记忆效应,很难做到完全消除非线性失真,同时消除失真也会损失一部分能量,因此这类方法也限制了功放能效的提升。第三类方法则是从改变信息承载的方式入手,例如信号的极化状态具有不受功放非线性影响的特性,相应的可以采用极化调制(Polarization Modulation:PM)传输数据从而克服功放非线性失真的影响。但相比于正交幅度调制(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation:QAM),极化调制在功放线性区的误码率较高,消耗相同能量的条件下能效低于QAM调制,因此单独使用极化调制只能在功放非线性区提升功放能效。此外,以上三类抑制非线性失真与提升功放能效的研究都是针对于固定数据速率的条件下,在实际应用中无法针对发送端变化的数据速率需求做出实时优化,存在一定的局限性。At present, there have been some researches on suppressing nonlinear distortion of power amplifiers and improving energy efficiency of power amplifiers in wireless communication. The first type of method starts with changing the signal characteristics, and reduces the peak-to-average ratio of the OFDM signal through limiting, filtering, coding, etc., thereby reducing the impact of the nonlinearity of the power amplifier on the OFDM signal. However, this type of method mostly makes the power amplifier work in the linear region, thus limiting the improvement of the energy efficiency of the power amplifier. The second type of method starts from eliminating the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, and uses feedforward, negative feedback, pre-distortion and other technologies to linearize the nonlinear power amplifier. However, due to the memory effect of the power amplifier, it is difficult to completely eliminate the nonlinear distortion. At the same time, eliminating the distortion will also lose some energy. Therefore, this method also limits the improvement of the energy efficiency of the power amplifier. The third type of method starts with changing the way information is carried. For example, the polarization state of the signal has the characteristic that it is not affected by the nonlinearity of the power amplifier. Accordingly, polarization modulation (Polarization Modulation: PM) can be used to transmit data to overcome the nonlinearity of the power amplifier. The effect of distortion. However, compared with quadrature amplitude modulation (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation: QAM), polar modulation has a higher bit error rate in the linear region of the power amplifier, and its energy efficiency is lower than that of QAM modulation under the same energy consumption. Therefore, polar modulation alone can only Improve the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the non-linear region of the power amplifier. In addition, the above three types of research on suppressing nonlinear distortion and improving power amplifier energy efficiency are all aimed at the condition of fixed data rate. In practical applications, it is impossible to make real-time optimization for the changing data rate requirements of the transmitter, and there are certain limitations.

发明内容Contents of the invention

针对功放存在的非线性失真效应,本发明提供了一种适用于OFDM系统中的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法。该方法利用QAM调制与极化调制各自在功放线性区与非线性区的优势,将两种调制技术结合起来,通过调整调制阶数有效提升OFDM系统中的功放能效。Aiming at the nonlinear distortion effect existing in the power amplifier, the invention provides an adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method suitable for OFDM systems. This method utilizes the respective advantages of QAM modulation and polar modulation in the linear region and nonlinear region of the power amplifier, combines the two modulation techniques, and effectively improves the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the OFDM system by adjusting the modulation order.

当功放处于线性区时,QAM调制误码率(Symbol Error Rate:SER)低于极化调制,在功放消耗相同能量条件下QAM调制可以获得更高的能量效率;而当功放处于非线性区时,QAM调制受到功放非线性失真影响出现误码,但极化调制具有不受功放非线性失真影响的特性。因此,可以根据当前发送端的数据速率需求确定的功放工作点自适应地调整QAM调制与极化调制的调制阶数,从而持续优化OFDM系统中的功放能效。即当数据速率需求较低,功放位于线性区时,将更多的数据用QAM调制进行传输,QAM调制阶数高于极化调制阶数;而当数据速率需求升高使功放进入非线性区后,降低QAM调制阶数,提高极化调制阶数,从而降低非线性失真对OFDM系统的影响,提高功放能效。本发明综合利用QAM调制与极化调制各自在线性区与非线性区的优势,当发送端变化的数据速率需求使功放位于不同的工作区与工作点时,通过自适应QAM调制与极化调制的调制阶数,确保功放无论工作在线性区还是非线性区时都可以具有较高的有效数据速率,从而优化功放能效。When the power amplifier is in the linear region, the QAM modulation bit error rate (Symbol Error Rate: SER) is lower than that of polar modulation, and QAM modulation can obtain higher energy efficiency under the condition that the power amplifier consumes the same energy; and when the power amplifier is in the nonlinear region , QAM modulation is affected by the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, and bit errors occur, but the polar modulation has the characteristic that it is not affected by the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier. Therefore, the modulation order of QAM modulation and polar modulation can be adaptively adjusted according to the operating point of the power amplifier determined by the current data rate requirement of the transmitting end, so as to continuously optimize the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the OFDM system. That is, when the data rate requirement is low and the power amplifier is in the linear region, more data is transmitted with QAM modulation, and the QAM modulation order is higher than the polarization modulation order; and when the data rate requirement increases, the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region Finally, reduce the QAM modulation order and increase the polar modulation order, thereby reducing the impact of nonlinear distortion on the OFDM system and improving the energy efficiency of the power amplifier. The present invention comprehensively utilizes the respective advantages of QAM modulation and polar modulation in the linear region and nonlinear region, and when the power amplifier is located in different working areas and working points due to the changing data rate requirements of the transmitting end, the self-adaptive QAM modulation and polar modulation The modulation order ensures that the power amplifier can have a high effective data rate regardless of whether it works in the linear region or the nonlinear region, thereby optimizing the energy efficiency of the power amplifier.

一种可以根据变化的数据速率需求自适应的调整QAM调制与极化调制两种调制方式的调制阶数,从而提高OFDM系统功放能效的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法,具体步骤如下:An adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method that can adaptively adjust the modulation order of the two modulation modes of QAM modulation and polar modulation according to changing data rate requirements, thereby improving the energy efficiency of OFDM system power amplifiers. The specific steps are as follows:

步骤一:在传统基于QAM调制的OFDM系统中添加极化调制支路;Step 1: adding a polar modulation branch in the traditional OFDM system based on QAM modulation;

对发射信息经编码得到二进制数字序列,对应的数据速率为R,经自适应单元确定当前系统中第k个子载波上QAM调制与极化调制最优的调制阶数MQk与MPk,相应的完成上支路数据速率RQ与下支路数据速率RP的分配。The transmitted information is encoded to obtain a binary digital sequence, and the corresponding data rate is R. The adaptive unit determines the optimal modulation order M Qk and M Pk of QAM modulation and polar modulation on the kth subcarrier in the current system, and the corresponding The allocation of the data rate R Q of the upper branch and the data rate R P of the lower branch is completed.

对于速率为RQ的上支路数据,由OFDM系统依次对其完成QAM调制、快速傅里叶反变换(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform:IFFT)、数模转换等一系列操作后进入功放;而对于速率为RP的下支路数据,先经过极化调制星座映射单元完成二进制数字序列向庞加莱球上极化星座点的映射,然后对功放输出信号依次进行功分与移相操作,从而完成极化调制过程。最后,将水平极化分量EH与垂直极化分量EV分别通过水平极化天线与垂直极化天线发射出去。For the upper branch data with a rate of R Q , the OFDM system sequentially completes a series of operations such as QAM modulation, Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), and digital-to-analog conversion, and then enters the power amplifier; It is the lower branch data of R P. First, the binary digital sequence is mapped to the polarization constellation point on the Poincaré sphere through the polarization modulation constellation mapping unit, and then the output signal of the power amplifier is sequentially performed power division and phase shifting operations, thereby completing Polar modulation process. Finally, the horizontally polarized component E H and the vertically polarized component E V are transmitted through the horizontally polarized antenna and the vertically polarized antenna respectively.

步骤二:功放非线性影响下OFDM系统中QAM调制与极化调制各自误码率闭式解的求解;Step 2: Solve the closed-form solutions of the respective bit error rates of QAM modulation and polar modulation in the OFDM system under the influence of the nonlinearity of the power amplifier;

本发明中,利用功放幂级数模型表征功放非线性,则经过QAM调制的OFDM信号会受到功放非线性失真影响,再加上信道中的噪声,在接收端进行QAM解调时会出现误码。而极化调制具有不受功放非线性失真影响的特性,可以利用已失真的OFDM信号传输信息,因此极化调制误码率只与信道中的噪声有关。In the present invention, the power amplifier power series model is used to characterize the nonlinearity of the power amplifier, then the OFDM signal modulated by QAM will be affected by the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, coupled with the noise in the channel, a code error will occur when the QAM demodulation is performed at the receiving end . The polar modulation is not affected by the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, and can use the distorted OFDM signal to transmit information, so the bit error rate of the polar modulation is only related to the noise in the channel.

步骤三:自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的实现;Step 3: realization of adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method;

本发明中,功放的能量效率定义为正确数据速率Rm与功放输入总功率Ptotal的比值。因此本发明中的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法可以归纳为一个限制性优化问题。从优化问题中可以看出,对于某一时刻发送端的数据速率需求R,最优的功放能效由QAM调制阶数MQ、极化调制阶数MP以及功放的输出功率回退值(Output Back Off:OBO)三者共同确定。因此,当确定功放此时的工作区与工作点后,通过自适应调整QAM调制与极化调制各自的调制阶数,就可以提升OFDM系统中的功放能效。In the present invention, the energy efficiency of the power amplifier is defined as the ratio of the correct data rate R m to the total input power P total of the power amplifier. Therefore, the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method in the present invention can be summarized as a restricted optimization problem. It can be seen from the optimization problem that for the data rate requirement R of the transmitting end at a certain moment, the optimal power amplifier energy efficiency is determined by the QAM modulation order M Q , the polarization modulation order MP and the output power back-off value of the power amplifier (Output Back Off:OBO) are jointly determined by the three. Therefore, after determining the working area and working point of the power amplifier at this time, the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the OFDM system can be improved by adaptively adjusting the respective modulation orders of QAM modulation and polar modulation.

本发明的优点:Advantages of the present invention:

1、本发明中的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法不仅使用了QAM调制的幅度和相位特性(信号标量特性)来承载信息,还使用了信号的极化状态属性来承载信息,充分利用了信号极化域的矢量特性。1. The adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method in the present invention not only uses the amplitude and phase characteristics (signal scalar characteristics) of QAM modulation to carry information, but also uses the polarization state attribute of the signal to carry information, making full use of Vector properties of the signal polarization domain.

2、本发明中考虑了功放的非线性失真对能效的影响,并在OFDM系统中采用基于自适应调制阶数的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法。对于某一时刻发送端的数据速率需求,将其转化为限制性优化问题,通过选定最优调制阶数传输数据,从而提升OFDM系统中功放能效。2. In the present invention, the influence of the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier on the energy efficiency is considered, and an adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method based on the adaptive modulation order is adopted in the OFDM system. For the data rate requirement of the sending end at a certain moment, it is transformed into a restrictive optimization problem, and the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the OFDM system is improved by selecting the optimal modulation order to transmit data.

3、与采用固定阶数QAM调制或极化调制的OFDM系统相比,本发明中的自适应极化—QAM联合调制的功放能效性能可以得到一定的优化。3. Compared with the OFDM system using fixed-order QAM modulation or polar modulation, the power amplifier energy efficiency performance of the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation in the present invention can be optimized to a certain extent.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面将结合附图对本发明作进一步的详细说明。The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

本发明是一种可以根据变化的数据速率需求自适应的调整QAM调制与极化调制两种调制方式的调制阶数,从而提高OFDM系统功放能效的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法。The invention is an adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method that can adaptively adjust the modulation orders of two modulation modes, QAM modulation and polar modulation, according to changing data rate requirements, thereby improving the energy efficiency of OFDM system power amplifiers.

在OFDM系统中,作为OFDM系统发射单元中关键组成部分的功率放大器是能源消耗的主要部分,约占终端总能耗的60%-70%,但在此高能耗下功放的能量转换效率仅为5%-10%,这是因为功放需要工作在线性区从而避免非线性失真,而线性区的能量转换效率较低。此外,OFDM信号具有的高峰均比特性会进一步增大对功放线性度的要求,使避免功放非线性失真变得更加困难。In the OFDM system, the power amplifier, which is a key component of the OFDM system transmitting unit, is the main part of energy consumption, accounting for about 60%-70% of the total energy consumption of the terminal, but the energy conversion efficiency of the power amplifier is only 5%-10%, this is because the power amplifier needs to work in the linear region to avoid nonlinear distortion, and the energy conversion efficiency in the linear region is low. In addition, the peak-to-average ratio characteristic of the OFDM signal will further increase the requirements on the linearity of the power amplifier, making it more difficult to avoid nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier.

为了降低功放非线性效应对OFDM系统中功放能效的影响,本发明提出了采用基于自适应调制阶数的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法来改善OFDM系统的功放能效性能。具体实现如下:当数据速率需求较低,功放位于线性区时,将更多的数据用QAM调制进行传输,QAM调制阶数高于极化调制阶数;而当数据速率需求升高使功放进入非线性区后,QAM调制误码率上升,超过一定的误码率门限后则降低QAM调制阶数,提高极化调制阶数,将更多的数据用极化调制进行传递,从而降低非线性失真对OFDM系统的影响,提高功放能效。In order to reduce the influence of the non-linear effect of the power amplifier on the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the OFDM system, the present invention proposes an adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method based on the adaptive modulation order to improve the energy efficiency performance of the power amplifier in the OFDM system. The specific implementation is as follows: when the data rate requirement is low and the power amplifier is in the linear region, more data is transmitted with QAM modulation, and the QAM modulation order is higher than the polar modulation order; and when the data rate requirement increases, the power amplifier enters After the nonlinear zone, the bit error rate of QAM modulation increases, and when it exceeds a certain bit error rate threshold, the order of QAM modulation is reduced, the order of polar modulation is increased, and more data is transmitted with polar modulation, thereby reducing nonlinearity The impact of distortion on the OFDM system, and improve the energy efficiency of the power amplifier.

本发明中提出的提升OFDM系统功放能效的自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法,包括在传统OFDM系统中同时使用QAM调制与极化调制两种调制方式,QAM调制与极化调制各自误码率的闭式解的求解,自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的实现过程,误码率与功放能效性能仿真分析等内容,具体如下:The self-adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method for improving the power amplifier energy efficiency of the OFDM system proposed in the present invention includes the simultaneous use of two modulation modes of QAM modulation and polarization modulation in the traditional OFDM system, and the respective bit error rates of QAM modulation and polarization modulation The solution of the closed-form solution, the realization process of the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method, the simulation analysis of bit error rate and power amplifier energy efficiency performance, etc., are as follows:

步骤一:在OFDM系统中同时使用QAM调制与极化调制两种调制方式;Step 1: using QAM modulation and polar modulation in the OFDM system at the same time;

采用自适应极化—QAM联合调制的OFDM系统发射端模型如图1所示,其中上支路完成QAM调制,下支路完成极化调制。图中自适应单元根据当前发送端数据速率需求确定QAM调制与极化调制最优调制阶数并完成数据速率分配;QAM调制单元对上支路分配的二进制数字序列进行QAM调制;OFDM信号处理单元完成串并变换,快速傅里叶反变换,并串变换,数模变换等一系列操作;功率放大器对输入信号进行放大;带通滤波器滤除功放输出信号中落在原信号频带外的交调分量;极化调制单元分为三部分,其中星座映射单元完成二进制数字序列到庞加莱球上极化状态星座点的映射,功分器将功放输出信号分为两个信号分量并设置相应幅度比参数,移相器设置两个信号分量的相位差;垂直与水平极化天线则将两个信号分量发射出去。具体流程如下:The transmitter model of the OFDM system using adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation is shown in Figure 1, in which the upper branch completes the QAM modulation, and the lower branch completes the polarization modulation. In the figure, the adaptive unit determines the optimal modulation order of QAM modulation and polar modulation according to the current data rate requirements of the sending end and completes the data rate allocation; the QAM modulation unit performs QAM modulation on the binary digital sequence allocated by the upper branch; the OFDM signal processing unit Complete a series of operations such as serial-to-parallel conversion, inverse fast Fourier transform, parallel-to-serial conversion, and digital-to-analog conversion; the power amplifier amplifies the input signal; the band-pass filter filters out the intermodulation in the output signal of the power amplifier that falls outside the frequency band of the original signal component; the polarization modulation unit is divided into three parts, in which the constellation mapping unit completes the mapping of the binary number sequence to the polarization state constellation point on the Poincaré sphere, and the power divider divides the output signal of the power amplifier into two signal components and sets the corresponding amplitude The phase shifter sets the phase difference of the two signal components; the vertically and horizontally polarized antennas transmit the two signal components. The specific process is as follows:

在系统发送端,对于某一时刻的数据速率需求R,由自适应调制阶数单元确定当前系统中第k个子载波上QAM调制与极化调制最优的调制阶数MQk与MPk,相应的完成上支路RQ与下支路RP的数据速率分配,式中N为OFDM系统子载波个数。At the sending end of the system, for the data rate requirement R at a certain moment, the adaptive modulation order unit determines the optimal modulation order M Qk and M Pk of QAM modulation and polar modulation on the kth subcarrier in the current system, corresponding Complete the data rate allocation of the upper branch R Q and the lower branch R P , where N is the number of subcarriers in the OFDM system.

RR QQ == ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 loglog 22 Mm QQ kk -- -- -- (( 11 ))

RR PP == ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 loglog 22 Mm PP kk -- -- -- (( 22 ))

公式(1)表征了理想情况下上支路可以达到的正确数据速率,但当承载QAM调制数据的OFDM信号x(t)经过功放时,功放的非线性失真会影响上支路的正确数据速率从而影响系统能效。因此,本发明利用物理意义明确且具有较强普适性的幂级数形式表征非线性功放,并研究其对基于极化—QAM联合调制方法的OFDM系统性能的影响。Equation (1) represents the correct data rate that the upper branch can achieve under ideal conditions, but when the OFDM signal x(t) carrying QAM modulated data passes through the power amplifier, the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier will affect the correct data rate of the upper branch Thus affecting the energy efficiency of the system. Therefore, the present invention uses a power series form with clear physical meaning and strong universality to characterize the nonlinear power amplifier, and studies its influence on the performance of the OFDM system based on the polarization-QAM joint modulation method.

对于幂级数形式的功放,其输入信号x(t)与输出信号y(t)之间的关系可以表示为:For a power amplifier in the form of a power series, the relationship between its input signal x(t) and output signal y(t) can be expressed as:

y(t)=a1x(t)+a3x3(t) (3)y(t)=a 1 x(t)+a 3 x 3 (t) (3)

式中a1、a3是非线性功放的输出多项式系数,与非线性功放的硬件特性有关。In the formula, a 1 and a 3 are the output polynomial coefficients of the nonlinear power amplifier, which are related to the hardware characteristics of the nonlinear power amplifier.

对于本发明中功放输入端的OFDM信号x(t),其时域形式可以表示为For the OFDM signal x(t) at the input end of the power amplifier in the present invention, its time-domain form can be expressed as

其中Xk表示第k个子载波上的数据符号,T表示OFDM符号周期,N表示子载波数目。Where X k represents the data symbol on the kth subcarrier, T represents the OFDM symbol period, and N represents the number of subcarriers.

则功放输出端信号可以表示为:Then the signal at the output of the power amplifier can be expressed as:

ythe y (( tt )) == aa 11 ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 Xx kk ee jj 22 ππ kk tt // TT ++ 33 aa 33 44 ΣΣ kk 11 ,, kk 22 ,, kk 33 Xx kk 11 Xx kk 22 Xx kk 33 ee jj (( kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 )) 22 ππ tt // TT ++ 33 aa 33 44 ΣΣ kk 11 ,, kk 22 ,, kk 33 Xx kk 11 Xx kk 22 Xx kk 33 ee jj (( kk 11 ++ kk 22 ++ kk 33 )) 22 ππ tt // TT -- -- -- (( 55 ))

y(t)中包含原始信号及非线性功放引入的若干种互调分量。将混合信号y(t)通入带通滤波器后,滤除上式中远离OFDM频带的信号成分,带通滤波器输出信号为y'(t)。y(t) contains several kinds of intermodulation products introduced by the original signal and nonlinear power amplifier. After the mixed signal y(t) is passed into the band-pass filter, the signal components far away from the OFDM frequency band in the above formula are filtered out, and the output signal of the band-pass filter is y'(t).

ythe y ′′ (( tt )) == aa 11 ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 Xx kk ee jj 22 ππ kk tt // TT ++ 33 aa 33 44 ΣΣ kk 11 ,, kk 22 ,, kk 33 Xx kk 11 Xx kk 22 Xx kk 33 ee jj (( kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 )) 22 ππ tt // TT -- -- -- (( 66 ))

此时串行信号y'(t)中仍包含放大的原始信号与落在原OFDM信号频带内的若干种互调分量。At this time, the serial signal y'(t) still contains the amplified original signal and several intermodulation products falling within the frequency band of the original OFDM signal.

而在极化调制下支路中,数字序列RP通过极化状态映射成MP阶极化状态星座极化状态可以用极化相位描述子(δii)(δi∈[0,π/2),φi∈[0,2π))表示。而为了实现将极化状态所承载信息添加在功放输出端的OFDM信号上,则需要使信号y'(t)依次经过功分单元与移相单元。因此,可以将功分网络和移相网络分别用传递函数表示为:In the lower branch of polarization modulation, the digital sequence R P is mapped into the M P -order polarization state constellation through the polarization state Polarized state It can be represented by the polarization phase descriptor (δ ii )(δ i ∈[0,π/2),φ i ∈[0,2π)). In order to add the information carried by the polarization state to the OFDM signal at the output end of the power amplifier, it is necessary to make the signal y'(t) pass through the power dividing unit and the phase shifting unit in sequence. Therefore, the power dividing network and the phase shifting network can be respectively used by the transfer function and Expressed as:

Ff →&Right Arrow; ii == cosδcosδ ii sinδsinδ ii -- -- -- (( 77 ))

其中功分器控制信号的幅度比,移相器控制信号的相位差,因此下支路利用极化调制承载的极化状态信息可以由下式唯一确定。Among them, the power divider controls the amplitude ratio of the signal, and the phase shifter controls the phase difference of the signal, so the polarization state information carried by the polarization modulation is used in the lower branch can be uniquely determined by the following formula.

信号y'(t)经过功分网络与移相网络后,在垂直和水平极化天线端口的发射信号矢量为:After the signal y'(t) passes through the power dividing network and the phase shifting network, the transmitted signal vectors at the vertically and horizontally polarized antenna ports are:

由此可以得到发射信号矢量的极化相位描述子为:From this, the polarization phase descriptor of the transmitted signal vector can be obtained as:

δδ EE. == aa rr cc tt aa nno (( || EE. VV || || EE. Hh || )) == δδ ii -- -- -- (( 1111 ))

由此可见,同一个子载波上的发射信号中包括失真信号与未失真信号的所有信号成分在发射时仍具有与功分网络与移相网络相同的参数,即信号的极化状态没有发生改变,由此可以证明极化状态可以不受功放非线性特性影响。最后,信号的两个正交极化分量EH与EV可由一对水平-垂直正交双极化天线发射出去。It can be seen that the transmitted signal on the same subcarrier All signal components including the distorted signal and the undistorted signal still have the same parameters as the power dividing network and the phase shifting network when transmitting, that is, the polarization state of the signal does not change, so it can be proved that the polarization state can be independent of the power amplifier Influence of non-linear characteristics. Finally, the two orthogonally polarized components E H and E V of the signal can be transmitted by a pair of horizontal-vertical orthogonal dual-polarized antennas.

步骤二:功放非线性影响下OFDM系统中QAM调制与极化调制各自误码率闭式解的求解;Step 2: Solve the closed-form solutions of the respective bit error rates of QAM modulation and polar modulation in the OFDM system under the influence of the nonlinearity of the power amplifier;

基于自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的OFDM系统接收端模型如图2所示。由于在发射端进行极化调制时,极化调制单元改变了信号原先的幅度与相位信息,因此在接收端应该先在由正交极化分量EH与EV直接提取信号中的极化信息,并利用极化匹配合并技术实现极化解调,还原了极化状态所承载信息的同时也恢复了基于QAM调制的OFDM信号的幅度比与相位差,再依次经由快速傅里叶变换、QAM解调等操作,从而恢复全部数据信息。The receiver model of OFDM system based on adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method is shown in Figure 2. Since the polar modulation unit changes the original amplitude and phase information of the signal when the polar modulation is performed at the transmitting end, the polar information in the signal should be directly extracted from the orthogonal polarization components E H and EV at the receiving end , and use the polarization matching and combining technology to realize polarization demodulation, restore the information carried by the polarization state and at the same time restore the amplitude ratio and phase difference of the OFDM signal based on QAM modulation, and then through the fast Fourier transform, QAM Demodulation and other operations to restore all data information.

因为本发明重点关注变化的数据速率需求下,调制阶数与能量效率之间的关系,因此在对自适应调制方法不造成影响的条件下,本发明考虑AWGN信道。令去除极化调制承载信息的OFDM接收端信号为r(t),则可以近似认为r(t)由包含原始信号与失真信号的OFDM信号y'(t)与信道中附加的加性高斯白噪声n(t)组成,即:Because the present invention focuses on the relationship between the modulation order and energy efficiency under changing data rate requirements, the present invention considers the AWGN channel without affecting the adaptive modulation method. Let r(t) be the signal at the receiving end of OFDM without polarization modulation, then r(t) can be approximately considered to be composed of the OFDM signal y'(t) containing the original signal and the distorted signal and the additive Gaussian white in the channel The noise n(t) consists of, namely:

r(t)=y'(t)+n(t) (13)r(t)=y'(t)+n(t) (13)

在接收端对第k个子载波上信号进行FFT变换,则接收端第k个子载波上符号可以表示为:Perform FFT transformation on the signal on the kth subcarrier at the receiving end, then the symbol on the kth subcarrier at the receiving end can be expressed as:

YY kk == 11 NN ΣΣ mm == 00 NN -- 11 rr (( mm )) ee -- jj 22 ππ kk mm // NN == 11 NN ΣΣ mm == 00 NN -- 11 aa 11 ΣΣ ll == 00 NN -- 11 Xx ll ee jj 22 ππ ll mm // NN ee -- jj 22 ππ kk mm // NN ++ 11 NN ΣΣ nno == 00 NN -- 11 33 aa 33 44 ΣΣ kk 11 ,, kk 22 ,, kk 33 Xx kk 11 Xx kk 22 Xx kk 33 ee jj (( kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 )) 22 ππ mm // NN ee -- jj 22 ππ kk mm // NN ++ 11 NN ΣΣ mm == 00 NN -- 11 nno (( mm )) ee -- jj 22 ππ kk mm // NN == aa 11 NN ΣΣ ll == 00 NN -- 11 Xx ll QQ ll -- kk ++ 33 aa 33 44 NN ΣΣ kk 11 kk 22 kk 33 QQ kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 -- kk ++ NN kk == aa 11 Xx kk ++ 33 aa 33 44 NN Uu 33 (( NN ,, kk )) Xx kk 11 Xx kk 22 Xx kk 33 || kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 == kk QQ 00 ++ ΣΣ kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 ≠≠ kk NN -- 11 Xx kk 11 Xx kk 22 Xx kk 33 QQ kk 11 ++ kk 22 -- kk 33 -- kk ++ NN kk -- -- -- (( 1414 ))

式中,Qk与U3(N,k)的表达式如下所示:In the formula, the expressions of Q k and U 3 (N,k) are as follows:

QQ kk == ΣΣ mm == 00 NN -- 11 ee jj 22 ππ kk mm // NN -- -- -- (( 1515 ))

Uu 33 (( NN ,, kk )) == 33 22 (( 22 kk NN -- 22 kk 22 ++ 22 kk ++ NN 22 -- NN )) -- -- -- (( 1616 ))

公式(14)中第一项为期望信号,第二项与第三项分别为互调形成的带内失真与带外扩展信号,第四项为噪声。可以看出,因为发射端非线性功放存在三次项分量,因此功放不仅对原OFDM信号进行了线性放大,同时不同频率的子载波间的互调也产生了新的频率分量。对于某一个频率的子载波而言,其中一些新的频率分量落在该子载波频带内,成为带内失真信号,其余信号则落在该子载波频带外,成为带外扩展信号,由此可见发射端功放的非线性会产生大量干扰信号分量,使接收端的误码率显著增加。The first item in formula (14) is the desired signal, the second and third items are the in-band distortion and out-of-band extension signal formed by intermodulation respectively, and the fourth item is noise. It can be seen that the power amplifier not only linearly amplifies the original OFDM signal, but also produces new frequency components due to the cubic component of the nonlinear power amplifier at the transmitter. For a subcarrier of a certain frequency, some of the new frequency components fall within the frequency band of the subcarrier and become in-band distorted signals, while the rest of the signals fall outside the frequency band of the subcarrier and become out-of-band extension signals. It can be seen that The nonlinearity of the power amplifier at the transmitting end will generate a large number of interference signal components, which will significantly increase the bit error rate at the receiving end.

对于第k个子载波上的接收信号,其信干噪比为:For the received signal on the kth subcarrier, the SINR is:

SINRSINR KK == PP KK PP IMIM KK ++ PP NN KK -- -- -- (( 1717 ))

式中PK为期望信号能量,为互调分量能量,为噪声能量。由此可见,互调分量的存在降低了接收端信干噪比,从而使接收端误码率增大。where P K is the expected signal energy, is the energy of the intermodulation component, is the noise energy. It can be seen that the existence of intermodulation components reduces the signal-to-interference-noise ratio at the receiving end, thereby increasing the bit error rate at the receiving end.

此时,OFDM系统第k个子载波上应用MQk阶QAM调制的信号的误码率为:At this time, the bit error rate of the signal applied to the M Qk order QAM modulation on the kth subcarrier of the OFDM system is:

PP bb == 22 (( 11 -- 11 Mm QQ kk )) QQ (( 33 loglog 22 Mm QQ kk Mm QQ kk -- 11 ·&Center Dot; SINRSINR kk )) -- -- -- (( 1818 ))

SERQk=1-(1-Pb)2=2Pb-Pb 2 (19)SER Qk =1-(1-P b ) 2 =2P b -P b 2 (19)

而对于极化调制,经过AWGN信道后的每个子载波k上的误码率可以表示为:For polar modulation, the bit error rate on each subcarrier k after the AWGN channel can be expressed as:

SERSER PP kk == 11 NN ΣΣ ii == 00 NN -- 11 PP ee ii -- -- -- (( 2020 ))

其中MPk为下支路极化调制阶数;是信道添加高斯白噪声后,接收端极化状态在Poincare球上经纬度的联合概率密度函数。其表达式为:Where M Pk is the polarization modulation order of the lower branch; is the joint probability density function of the latitude and longitude of the polarization state of the receiving end on the Poincare sphere after adding Gaussian white noise to the channel. Its expression is:

其中SNR是极化调制信噪比,即功放输出功率POUT与高斯白噪声功率N0的比值。Among them, SNR is the polarization modulation signal-to-noise ratio, that is, the ratio of the power amplifier output power P OUT to the Gaussian white noise power N 0 .

由公式(18)-(21)可见,对于QAM调制与极化调制误码率的闭式解,两者都与对应的调制阶数直接相关。It can be seen from formulas (18)-(21) that for the closed-form solutions of QAM modulation and polar modulation BER, both are directly related to the corresponding modulation order.

步骤三:自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的实现;Step 3: realization of adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method;

非线性功放的能量效率由正确的数据速率与功放消耗的总能量共同决定,表征每焦耳能量传输的正确数据比特数,本发明的主要目标就是提升非线性功放的能量效率。对于上支路的QAM调制,当功放位于线性区时,其误码率性能低于极化调制,此时QAM调制能效性能更优;若发送端数据速率增加使功放进入非线性区,则功放输出信号中包含大量的失真分量,QAM调制误码率大幅增加,若利用极化状态具有的不受功放非线性影响的特性,将其中一部分数据速率交由下支路极化调制来传递,则可以保证一定的误码率门限基础上,自适应调整上下支路的调制阶数,从而优化功放能效。The energy efficiency of the nonlinear power amplifier is determined by the correct data rate and the total energy consumed by the power amplifier, which represents the correct number of data bits per joule of energy transmission. The main goal of the present invention is to improve the energy efficiency of the nonlinear power amplifier. For the QAM modulation of the upper branch, when the power amplifier is in the linear region, its bit error rate performance is lower than that of polar modulation, and the QAM modulation energy efficiency performance is better at this time; if the data rate of the sending end increases and the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region, the power amplifier The output signal contains a large number of distortion components, and the bit error rate of QAM modulation increases greatly. If the polarization state has the characteristic that it is not affected by the nonlinearity of the power amplifier, and a part of the data rate is transferred to the polarization modulation of the lower branch, then On the basis of ensuring a certain bit error rate threshold, the modulation order of the upper and lower branches can be adaptively adjusted, thereby optimizing the energy efficiency of the power amplifier.

本发明中将功放的能量效率定义为正确数据速率Rm与功放输入总功率Ptotal的比值,因此自适应调制机制可以转化为如下的限制性优化问题:In the present invention, the energy efficiency of the power amplifier is defined as the ratio of the correct data rate R m to the total input power P total of the power amplifier, so the adaptive modulation mechanism can be transformed into the following restrictive optimization problem:

mm aa xx Mm QQ kk ,, Mm PP kk ηη == RR mm PP tt oo tt aa ll -- -- -- (( 23twenty three ))

s.t.s.t.

RR mm == ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 [[ loglog 22 Mm QQ kk (( 11 -- SERSER QQ kk )) ]] ++ ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 [[ loglog 22 Mm PP kk (( 11 -- SERSER PP kk )) ]] -- -- -- (( 24twenty four ))

RR == ΣΣ kk == 00 NN -- 11 [[ loglog 22 Mm QQ kk ++ loglog 22 Mm PP kk ]] -- -- -- (( 2525 ))

{SERQk,SERPk}≤SERth (26){SER Qk ,SER Pk }≤SER th (26)

0≤PIN≤PISA (27)0≤P IN ≤P ISA (27)

0≤{MQk,MPk}≤2R (28)0≤{M Qk ,M Pk }≤2 R (28)

式中R为某一时刻发送端数据速率需求,SERth为上下支路均需满足的误码率门限值,PIN为功放输入功率,PISA为功放饱和点输入功率。In the formula, R is the data rate requirement of the transmitting end at a certain moment, SER th is the bit error rate threshold that both the upper and lower branches need to meet, P IN is the input power of the power amplifier, and P ISA is the input power of the power amplifier saturation point.

对于本发明中使用的射频功放MRF6S21050L,由仿真可知,功放消耗总能量Ptotal可以表示为功放输入功率PIN的如下函数:For the radio frequency power amplifier MRF6S21050L used in the present invention, it can be seen from the simulation that the power amplifier consumes the total energy P total can be expressed as the following function of the power amplifier input power P IN :

Ptotal=5×10-4PIN 3-6×10-3PIN 2+0.04PIN+41 (29)P total =5×10 -4 P IN 3 -6×10 -3 P IN 2 +0.04P IN +41 (29)

由公式(24)可见,某一时刻的正确数据速率Rm由此时的总数据速率R与上下两个支路的调制阶数MQ、MP与误码率SERQ、SERP决定。而功放消耗总能量Ptotal由功放输入功率PIN决定,但PIN无法直观表征功放工作点,即功放是工作在线性区还是非线性区。因此应该用功放输出功率回退值OBO表征,如公式(30)所示,其中POUT为功放输入功率,POSA为功放饱和点输出功率。It can be seen from formula (24) that the correct data rate R m at a certain moment is determined by the total data rate R at that time, the modulation orders M Q , MP of the upper and lower branches, and the bit error rates SER Q , SER P. The total energy consumed by the power amplifier P total is determined by the input power P IN of the power amplifier, but P IN cannot intuitively represent the operating point of the power amplifier, that is, whether the power amplifier works in the linear region or the nonlinear region. Therefore, it should be characterized by the power amplifier output power backoff value OBO, as shown in formula (30), where P OUT is the input power of the power amplifier, and P OSA is the output power at the saturation point of the power amplifier.

OBO=POSA/POUT (30)OBO=P OSA /P OUT (30)

而PIN与POUT之间的关系如下式所示:The relationship between P IN and P OUT is as follows:

PP Oo Uu TT == PP Oo SS AA -- PP II NN ββ 22 ee ββ ∫∫ ββ ∞∞ ee -- tt tt -- 11 dd tt -- -- -- (( 3131 ))

ββ == PP Oo SS AA PP II NN -- -- -- (( 3232 ))

由公式(23)(24)(30)可知,对于发送端某一时刻的输入数据速率R,最优的功放能效由MQ、MP、OBO决定。因此,可以根据当前发送端的数据速率需求确定的功放工作点自适应地调整QAM调制与极化调制的调制阶数,从而持续优化OFDM系统中的功放能效。It can be seen from formulas (23)(24)(30) that for the input data rate R at a certain moment at the transmitting end, the optimal power amplifier energy efficiency is determined by M Q , MP , and OBO. Therefore, the modulation order of QAM modulation and polar modulation can be adaptively adjusted according to the operating point of the power amplifier determined by the current data rate requirement of the transmitting end, so as to continuously optimize the energy efficiency of the power amplifier in the OFDM system.

步骤四:误码率与功放能效性能分析;Step 4: Performance analysis of bit error rate and power amplifier energy efficiency;

为了评估自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法在提升功放能效方面的性能优势,本发明给出了相应的仿真分析。In order to evaluate the performance advantage of the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method in improving the energy efficiency of the power amplifier, the present invention provides corresponding simulation analysis.

仿真结果:Simulation results:

图3与图4分别表示当功放位于线性区与非线性区时,极化调制与QAM调制在不同信噪比下的误码率对比。当OBO值为12dB时,功放位于线性区;而当OBO值为6dB时,功放位于非线性区。从图中可以看出,对于QAM调制,当功放位于线性区时,其SER性能优于极化调制,但当功放进入非线性区之后,由于受到功放非线性失真影响,因此QAM调制性能大幅恶化。而对于极化调制,虽然当功放位于线性区时误码率性能不如同处线性区的QAM调制性能好,但若功放进入非线性区,因为极化调制具有不受功放非线性失真影响的特性,可以有效利用功放的非线性失真信号,因此极化调制可以工作在具有较高能量转换效率的非线性区。Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the bit error rate comparison of polar modulation and QAM modulation at different SNRs when the power amplifier is located in the linear region and nonlinear region respectively. When the OBO value is 12dB, the power amplifier is in the linear region; and when the OBO value is 6dB, the power amplifier is in the nonlinear region. It can be seen from the figure that for QAM modulation, when the power amplifier is in the linear region, its SER performance is better than polar modulation, but when the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region, due to the influence of the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, the QAM modulation performance deteriorates significantly . For polar modulation, although the bit error rate performance is not as good as that of QAM modulation in the linear region when the power amplifier is in the linear region, if the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region, because the polar modulation has the characteristic that it is not affected by the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier. , can effectively utilize the nonlinear distortion signal of the power amplifier, so the polar modulation can work in the nonlinear region with higher energy conversion efficiency.

基于以上分析与仿真结果,本发明中的自适应机制设置如下。当某一时刻发送端数据速率需求较低,功放位于线性区时,QAM调制误码率性能优于极化调制,因此优先使用QAM调制传输数据比特,上支路传输更多信息。而当数据速率需求升高使功放进入非线性区之后,QAM调制受到非线性失真影响性能迅速下降,若超过设置的误码率门限,则将更多的数据速率交由下支路极化调制进行传递,下支路极化调制阶数增大。基于以上自适应调制机制,可以达到对抗功放非线性失真,优化功放能效的目的。Based on the above analysis and simulation results, the adaptive mechanism in the present invention is set as follows. When the data rate requirement at the sending end is low at a certain moment and the power amplifier is in the linear region, the bit error rate performance of QAM modulation is better than that of polar modulation, so QAM modulation is preferred to transmit data bits, and the upper branch transmits more information. However, when the demand for data rate increases and the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region, the performance of QAM modulation will drop rapidly due to the influence of nonlinear distortion. If the set bit error rate threshold is exceeded, more data rate will be handed over to the polar modulation of the lower branch. After transmission, the polarization modulation order of the lower branch increases. Based on the above adaptive modulation mechanism, it is possible to achieve the purpose of combating the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier and optimizing the energy efficiency of the power amplifier.

图5表示发送端输入数据速率由200bit/s向1000bit/s变化时,在基于自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的OFDM系统中,QAM调制阶数、极化调制阶数、输入功率回退值以及功放能效值的分布曲线。仿真中假设有100个子载波,带宽为20MHz,工作在5.15GHz频段。QAM调制可选的阶数为4阶、16阶、64阶,而极化调制可选阶数为2阶、4阶、8阶、16阶、32阶、64阶。设置的误码率门限为10-3。而对于本发明中使用的功放MRF6S21050L,当OBO值大于10dB时,功放工作在线性区,而当OBO值小于10dB时,功放工作在非线性区。Figure 5 shows that when the input data rate of the transmitter changes from 200bit/s to 1000bit/s, in the OFDM system based on the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method, the QAM modulation order, polarization modulation order, and input power fallback value and the distribution curve of the energy efficiency value of the power amplifier. In the simulation, it is assumed that there are 100 subcarriers, the bandwidth is 20MHz, and it works in the 5.15GHz frequency band. The optional order of QAM modulation is 4th order, 16th order, and 64th order, and the optional order of polar modulation is 2nd order, 4th order, 8th order, 16th order, 32nd order, and 64th order. The set bit error rate threshold is 10 -3 . As for the power amplifier MRF6S21050L used in the present invention, when the OBO value is greater than 10dB, the power amplifier works in the linear region, and when the OBO value is less than 10dB, the power amplifier works in the nonlinear region.

从图5(a)(b)中,我们可以看出,当数据速率需求R小于700bit/s时,随着数据速率的增大,QAM调制阶数持续上升而极化调制阶数维持在较低状态。当数据速率超过700bit/s后,PM调制阶数上升而极化调制阶数下降。从图5(c)中可以看出,功放OBO值持续下降,而且当数据速率达到700bit/s时,OBO值达到10dB临界点,即当数据速率超过700bit/s后,功放即进入非线性区。当输入数据速率升至500bit/s或700bit/s时,可以看出QAM调制阶数上升而极化调制阶数下降,这是因为此时功放位于线性区,QAM调制的性能优于极化调制,为了保证更高的能量效率,系统自适应的选择让上支路的QAM调制传输更高的数据速率;而当数据速率继续增加到800bit/s时,可以看出QAM调制阶数下降而极化调制阶数持续上升。这是因为随着输入数据速率的增大,功放逐步进入非线性区,上支路QAM调制受到严重的功放非线性失真影响,而下支路的极化调制具有对功放非线性失真不敏感的特性,因此系统自适应的提升极化调制的阶数,持续达到优化功放能效的目的。而从图5(d)中我们可以看出,即使当功放进入非线性区,功放的能量效率仍然持续增大,即每焦耳能量传输的正确数据比特数持续增多。这也证明了本发明提出的自适应极化-QAM联合调制方法应用于OFDM系统中时,可以克服因发送端输入数据速率变化导致的功放非线性从而带来的能效降低的问题,持续优化功放能效。From Figure 5(a)(b), we can see that when the data rate requirement R is less than 700bit/s, as the data rate increases, the QAM modulation order continues to rise while the polarization modulation order remains relatively low. low state. When the data rate exceeds 700bit/s, the PM modulation order increases and the polarization modulation order decreases. It can be seen from Figure 5(c) that the OBO value of the power amplifier continues to decline, and when the data rate reaches 700bit/s, the OBO value reaches a critical point of 10dB, that is, when the data rate exceeds 700bit/s, the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region . When the input data rate increases to 500bit/s or 700bit/s, it can be seen that the order of QAM modulation increases and the order of polar modulation decreases. This is because the power amplifier is in the linear region at this time, and the performance of QAM modulation is better than that of polar modulation. , in order to ensure higher energy efficiency, the system adaptively selects the QAM modulation of the upper branch to transmit a higher data rate; and when the data rate continues to increase to 800bit/s, it can be seen that the QAM modulation order decreases and extremely The modulation order continues to rise. This is because as the input data rate increases, the power amplifier gradually enters the nonlinear region, and the QAM modulation of the upper branch is seriously affected by the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, while the polarization modulation of the lower branch is insensitive to the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier. characteristics, so the system self-adaptively increases the order of polar modulation, and continuously achieves the goal of optimizing the energy efficiency of the power amplifier. From Figure 5(d), we can see that even when the power amplifier enters the nonlinear region, the energy efficiency of the power amplifier continues to increase, that is, the number of correct data bits per joule of energy transmission continues to increase. This also proves that when the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method proposed in the present invention is applied to an OFDM system, it can overcome the problem of energy efficiency reduction caused by the nonlinearity of the power amplifier caused by the change of the input data rate at the sending end, and continuously optimize the power amplifier. efficiency.

图6表示不同误码率门限要求下,自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法与固定于16阶的QAM调制与极化调制的功放能效性能对比。令误码率门限从10-7向10-2变化,同时仍然工作在一个有100个子载波,带宽为20MHz,工作在5.15GHz频段的OFDM系统中。从图中可以看出,若放宽对误码率门限值的限制,虽然可能导致错误码字增多,但功放的能量效率却能持续增加,同时自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的能效也显著优于QAM调制与极化调制。这是因为,对于一个应用自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的OFDM系统,当功放工作在非线性区时,可以利用载波的极化属性传递信息,同时也可以为上下支路的QAM调制与PM调制自适应的选择最优的调制阶数,从而减小了功放的非线性对OFDM性能的影响,提升功放能效。仿真结果表明,同一误码率门限值下,应用自适应极化—QAM联合调制方法的OFDM系统的能效大约为应用16QAM调制的OFDM系统的两倍。Figure 6 shows the power amplifier energy efficiency performance comparison between the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method and the fixed 16th-order QAM modulation and polarization modulation under different bit error rate threshold requirements. Change the bit error rate threshold from 10 -7 to 10 -2 while still working in an OFDM system with 100 sub-carriers, a bandwidth of 20MHz, and a frequency band of 5.15GHz. It can be seen from the figure that if the restriction on the threshold value of the bit error rate is relaxed, although the error code words may increase, the energy efficiency of the power amplifier can continue to increase, and the energy efficiency of the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method will also increase. Significantly better than QAM modulation and polar modulation. This is because, for an OFDM system applying the adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method, when the power amplifier works in the nonlinear region, the polarization property of the carrier can be used to transmit information, and at the same time, it can also be used for the QAM modulation of the upper and lower branches. The PM modulation adaptively selects the optimal modulation order, thereby reducing the impact of the nonlinearity of the power amplifier on OFDM performance and improving the energy efficiency of the power amplifier. The simulation results show that the energy efficiency of the OFDM system using adaptive polarization-QAM joint modulation method is about twice that of the OFDM system using 16QAM modulation under the same bit error rate threshold.
