Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of civil aviation communication, in particular to a digital predistortion processing loop and a digital predistortion processing method applied to a civil aviation ground-air data link.
Background
In order to relieve the pressure of the increasing air traffic flow on pipe manufacturing and make the application of new concepts and new technologies more standard in civil aviation air traffic management, civil aviation ground-air data links are proposed and increasingly popularized. The power amplifier linearization technology is a key technology in civil aviation ground-air data links.
The digital predistortion technology is often used for linearization of power amplifiers due to the characteristics of high stability, high precision, strong adaptive capacity, suitability for broadband communication and the like. The traditional civil aviation ground-air data link digital predistortion method usually adopts a secondary mixing structure, and the circuit structure is complex, the power consumption is high, and the miniaturization is not facilitated. The civil aviation ground-air data link digital predistortion method adopting the primary mixing structure reduces the power consumption, but needs an additional observation loop for compensating the distortion of the orthogonal modem, so the circuit structure is very complicated, and the miniaturization is not facilitated. In addition, the one-time mixing structure may cause the digital predistortion algorithm to converge to a local minimum value, which results in undesirable effects.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: the traditional civil aviation ground-air data link digital predistortion method adopting a secondary mixing structure is complex in circuit structure and high in power consumption, and is not beneficial to miniaturization, while the civil aviation ground-air data link digital predistortion method adopting a primary mixing structure needs an additional observation loop for compensating the distortion of an orthogonal modem although the power consumption is reduced, so that the circuit structure is also very complex and is also not beneficial to miniaturization.
To solve the above technical problems.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention provides a digital predistortion processing loop applied to a civil aviation ground-air data link, which comprises a digital predistortion module, an orthogonal modulator, a power amplifier, an attenuator and an orthogonal demodulator; the digital predistortion circuit is characterized in that the output end of an orthogonal modulator of the digital predistortion circuit is directly connected with the input end of a power amplifier, the output end of the power amplifier is connected with an attenuator, and the attenuator is directly connected with the orthogonal modulator.
The digital predistortion module comprises:
the predistorter is used for carrying out predistortion processing on the input signal; the predistorter is also used for receiving the coefficient signals extracted by the coefficient extractor;
and the joint estimator is used for performing quick synchronous operation on the signal subjected to the predistortion processing and the feedback signal modulated by the orthogonal demodulator, estimating and compensating the distortion generated by the orthogonal demodulator, the power amplifier and the orthogonal demodulator on the feedback signal modulated by the orthogonal demodulator, and finally calculating the final estimation coefficient of the digital predistortion processing loop.
A coefficient extractor for extracting final estimation coefficients of the digital pre-distortion processing loop;
and the subtracter is used for comparing the error between the input signal after the predistortion processing and the operation output signal of the joint estimator.
The joint estimator comprises: a controller, a memory, and an arithmetic unit;
the memory comprises a subprogram which is executed by a controller control arithmetic unit and is used for carrying out quick synchronous operation on an input signal x (n) after the predistortion treatment and a feedback signal r (n) after the demodulation of an orthogonal demodulator, and the calculation formula is
Θ(k)=R*(k)gX(-k)
In the formula:
Θ (k) is the correlation value; the maximum value of theta (k) is the synchronization time;
r (k) represents the Fourier transform of r (n);
x (k) represents the Fourier transform of x (n);
denotes the complex conjugation.
The memory comprises a computation subprogram which is executed by the controller control arithmetic unit and used for estimating and compensating the feedback signal after the demodulation of the orthogonal demodulator, and the estimation and compensation operation formulas of x (n) and r (n) are as follows:

A further preferred technical solution is that, the memory includes a final estimation coefficient operation subprogram of the digital predistortion processing loop executed by the controller control arithmetic unit, and the final estimation coefficient p (n) is obtained by using a recursive least square algorithm and estimation and compensation operation formulas of x (n) and r (n) by the joint estimator, and by participating in multiple iterations with an error e (n).
The invention provides a digital predistortion processing loop applied to a civil aviation ground-air data link, wherein the output end of an orthogonal modulator is directly connected with the input end of a power amplifier, the output end of the power amplifier is connected with an attenuator, and the attenuator is directly connected with the orthogonal demodulator. Compared with an observation loop additionally arranged for compensating the distortion of the orthogonal modem in the traditional structure, the digital predistortion processing loop circuit provided by the invention has a simpler structure and is beneficial to miniaturization. The invention adopts a rapid synchronization method to realize the synchronization of an input signal x (n) after the predistortion processing and a feedback signal r (n) after the demodulation of a demodulator, adopts a joint estimator to realize the joint estimation of the distortion (comprising amplitude imbalance, phase imbalance, direct current offset and the like) generated by an orthogonal modulator and an orthogonal demodulator, and adopts the joint estimator to calculate the final estimation coefficient of a digital predistortion processing loop. The memory in the joint estimator contains three subprograms, firstly the controller controls the arithmetic unit to execute a fast synchronous operation subprogram for the input signal x (n) after the predistortion treatment and the feedback signal r (n) after the demodulation of the orthogonal demodulator, then the controller controls the arithmetic unit to execute an operation subprogram for estimating and compensating the feedback signal after the demodulation of the orthogonal demodulator, and finally the controller controls the arithmetic unit to execute a final estimation coefficient operation subprogram of the digital predistortion treatment loop. In the digital predistortion method used in the traditional civil aviation ground-air data link, whether the estimator used in the digital predistortion module in the digital predistortion loop adopting the primary mixing structure or the secondary mixing structure, the memory of the estimator also comprises the three subprograms; however, in the second sub-routine of the estimator of the digital predistortion loop with the traditional structure, only the distortion generated by devices except the quadrature modem in the loop can be estimated and compensated, and the distortion generated by the quadrature modem can be estimated and compensated only by adding other loops. The key point of the invention is that the whole digital predistortion loop is simplified by improving the subprogram in the combined estimator, and the whole circuit structure is simpler and is beneficial to miniaturization; in addition, because the traditional one-time mixing structure digital predistortion loop comprises two observation loops, a controller in the estimator needs to control the arithmetic unit to carry out operation of three subprograms on output signals of each loop, and thus the arithmetic unit executes six times of operation to ensure that the processing time and the power consumption are higher; the controller in the joint estimator only needs to calculate the feedback signal once by subprogram, namely three times of operation, so that the power consumption of the whole circuit is reduced.
The invention further preferably adopts the technical scheme that the invention provides a digital predistortion processing method applied to a civil aviation ground-air data link, and the method comprises the following implementation steps:
