Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for obtaining a corresponding relationship between a digital channel and a predistortion coefficient in a digital predistortion correction method according to an embodiment of the present application, and is applied to the architecture shown in fig. 1.
Before the method is implemented, the same nonlinear behavior model and first digital signal (corresponding to the third digital signal in the claims) are preset in the memory 101 of the millimeter wave device 10 and the memory 206 in the digital predistortion correction device 20.
As shown in fig. 4, the method may include the steps of:
and S100, the millimeter wave device 10 opens the analog channel corresponding to the target digital channel and closes the analog channels corresponding to the other digital channels except the target digital channel. Wherein the target digital channel is any one of the digital channels in the millimeter wave device 10.
Specifically, in response to the operation instruction, millimeter wave device 10 may turn on an analog channel corresponding to the target digital channel in millimeter wave device 10, and turn off analog channels corresponding to other digital channels except for the target digital channel. In one possible implementation, the operation instruction may be triggered by a worker operating the millimeter wave device 10.

In one possible implementation, the digital predistortion correction device 20 includes a channel switching selection device, turns on the first receiving channel, and receives the plurality of analog signals in the first beam direction. Thus, when the digital predistortion correction device 20 needs to receive analog signals in different beam directions, it can be implemented by only selecting different receiving channels without adjusting the hardware settings of the receiving apparatus in the digital predistortion correction device 20.
In another possible implementation, the staff adjusts the receiving means in the digital predistortion correction device 20 to the first beam direction and receives the plurality of analog signals of the first beam direction.

S104: the digital predistortion correction device 20 performs nonlinear parameter extraction according to the pre-stored first digital signal and second digital signal to obtain a first predistortion coefficient. The first predistortion coefficient is used for carrying out predistortion processing on the target digital signal before the target digital signal is sent through the target digital channel.
It is to be understood that the first predistortion coefficient may include one or more parameters, and the number of the parameters included in the first predistortion coefficient is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
S105: the digital predistortion correction device 20 transmits the correspondence relationship of the first predistortion coefficient and the target digital channel to the millimeter wave device 10. Wherein the target digital channel may be preset in the digital predistortion correction device 20 together with the first digital signal.
And S106, the millimeter wave device 10 stores the corresponding relation between the first predistortion coefficient and the target digital channel.
Subsequently, the millimeter wave device 10 may correct the digital signal to be transmitted using the correspondence relationship between the first predistortion coefficient and the target digital channel and then transmit the corrected digital signal.
It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the process of extracting the first predistortion coefficient may be iterated multiple times, so that the obtained predistortion coefficient can more accurately correct the digital signal sent by the millimeter wave device.
In a possible implementation manner, the millimeter wave device 10 may obtain the final first predistortion coefficient corresponding to the target digital channel through the following steps:
step one, the millimeter wave device 10 obtains a first predistortion coefficient corresponding to the latest target digital channel.
Step two: the millimeter wave device 10 executes the step S100, and corrects the first digital signal according to the first predistortion coefficient corresponding to the target digital channel, so as to obtain a corrected digital signal.
Step three: the millimeter wave device 10 transmits a plurality of analog signals corresponding to the corrected digital signals.
Step four: the digital predistortion correction device 20 receives the plurality of analog signals, and performs down-conversion processing and digitization processing on the plurality of analog signals to obtain a new second digital signal.
Step five: the digital predistortion correction device 20 obtains the difference between the first digital signal and the new second digital signal, if the difference is smaller than the first threshold, the process is ended after the seventh step and the eighth step, if the difference is larger than or equal to the first threshold, the seventh step is executed after the sixth step, and the first step to the fifth step are executed again after the eighth step until the obtained difference is smaller than the first threshold.
Step six: the digital predistortion correction device 20 performs nonlinear parameter extraction based on the new first digital signal and the new second digital signal to obtain a new first predistortion coefficient.
Step seven: the digital predistortion correction device 20 transmits the correspondence relationship of the new first predistortion coefficient and the target digital channel to the millimeter wave device 10.
Step eight: the millimeter wave device 10 stores the correspondence relationship between the new first predistortion coefficient and the target digital channel.
Therefore, the first predistortion coefficient corresponding to the target digital channel is obtained, predistortion correction of the digital signal sent by the millimeter wave device is realized, and the problem that the output signal of the power amplifier corresponding to the target digital channel in the 5G millimeter wave system device is inaccurate is solved. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the millimeter wave device 10 and the digital predistortion correction device 20 implement hardware decoupling, and when performing predistortion coefficient extraction, the method is not limited by the limitation of the operation resource of the millimeter wave device, and can implement predistortion coefficient extraction by using a more efficient algorithm.
Fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a digital predistortion correction method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and is applied to a millimeter wave device. As shown in fig. 5, the method may include the steps of:
s200: and the millimeter wave equipment acquires the predistortion coefficient corresponding to the target digital channel according to the corresponding relation between the pre-stored digital channel and the predistortion coefficient.
S201: the millimeter wave device corrects the third digital signal (corresponding to the first digital signal in the claims) according to the predistortion coefficient corresponding to the target digital channel, and obtains a fourth digital signal (corresponding to the second digital signal in the claims).
S202: and the millimeter wave device judges whether the fourth digital signal meets a preset condition. If so, go to step S203, otherwise, go to step S204.
In one possible implementation, the preset condition may be that the peak power of the fourth digital signal is less than or equal to a power threshold.
S203: and the millimeter wave equipment closes the target digital channel, or adjusts the fourth digital signal and sends the adjusted fourth digital signal, and the peak power of the adjusted fourth digital signal is less than or equal to the power threshold.
Therefore, the millimeter wave equipment can not cause damage to devices such as a power amplifier and the like because the peak power of the corrected digital signal is too high.
S204: the millimeter wave device transmits the fourth digital signal.
Specifically, the millimeter wave device sends the fourth digital signal to a digital-to-analog converter in the millimeter wave device through the target digital channel, and the digital-to-analog converter converts the fourth digital signal into a corresponding analog signal, and sends the processed analog signals after processing by the phase converter, the power amplifier, and the like.
In the embodiment of the application, the millimeter wave device performs predistortion correction on the digital signal sent by the millimeter wave device according to the pre-stored corresponding relationship between the digital channel and the predistortion coefficient, which is helpful for solving the problem that the output signal of the power amplifier in the 5G millimeter wave system device is inaccurate, and cannot cause additional increase of the power consumption of the 5G millimeter wave system device.
