Description

Background
In the field of traditional communications, radio frequency transceiving is built by using discrete devices, a specific framework is shown in fig. 1, and discrete schemes widely adopt a transmitting link by using a DAC, an intermediate frequency filter, intermediate frequency amplification, a mixer, radio frequency amplification and a radio frequency filter. As communication systems have higher and higher requirements for rate transmission, bandwidth requirements are wider and lower power consumption is required.
In order to reduce the size of the board and the power consumption of the board, and facilitate chip integration, the radio frequency transceiving with zero intermediate frequency architecture gradually replaces the traditional discrete radio frequency transceiving link, and the radio frequency transceiver frame with zero intermediate frequency is shown in fig. 2. The zero intermediate frequency radio frequency transceiver directly shifts the baseband signal to the radio frequency signal without intermediate frequency amplification, filtering and secondary frequency conversion. However, the zero-if scheme is not a perfect solution, and the zero-if integrated transceiver adopts an analog circuit, the analog circuit cannot make the DC OFFSET and the phase of the analog IQ signal completely consistent, which may cause local oscillator leakage and mirror image at the output of the zero-if transmission link, and the DC OFFSET may drift with the temperature, which may cause the leakage of the DCOFFSET to vary continuously with the temperature, which may cause the output frequency spectrum of the transmitter to be stray, which may affect the radio frequency index of the transmitter, which may cause the radio frequency index not to satisfy the 3GPP standard.
The traditional zero intermediate frequency scheme-based calibration mainly adopts the following two methods:
the method comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps that an artificial calibration method is adopted, an instrument is used for testing the effects of local oscillator leakage and image rejection of output signals of a zero intermediate frequency transceiver, and the local oscillator leakage and image rejection capability of a zero intermediate frequency transmitting chip are adjusted by adjusting the DC OFFSET and the phase of IQ (or using a DC OFFSET and a phase adjusting chip which are provided with chips and support IQ) of a baseband to the zero intermediate frequency transmitter; and transmitting the related records of the traversed IQ to the DC OFFSET and the phase deviation value of the zero intermediate frequency transmitter IQ each time, traversing the related values of the IQ, and storing the traversed related values in a storage of the single board. Simultaneously, each device carries out high and low temperature same tests, and stores the optimal DC OFFSET value of high and low temperature in a memory; and 3, selecting an optimal value by the single-board CPU to ensure that the single-board CPU can be used in each working process.
The second method comprises the following steps: selecting an IQ-supporting DC OFFSET and a phase adjusting chip, externally arranging an additional feedback signal link, and spontaneously generating a single-tone signal when equipment is started; and the transmitting signal is acquired and analyzed through an external feedback signal acquisition link. Obtaining local oscillator leakage and mirror images of the transmitting signals; in the baseband processing unit, the local oscillator leakage signal and the mirror image are calculated, the calibration parameters of the chip are adjusted, and the local oscillator leakage signal and the mirror image optimal value are selected and stored in a memory. And when the temperature is high or low, repeatedly calculating to obtain the optimal DCOFFSET parameter value of the high temperature and the low temperature.
The drawbacks of the above method are as follows:
in the first method, an expensive signal source and a spectrometer are adopted for testing in a matching manner, the predicted traversing work task needs 20 minutes, high and low temperature testing links are added, and particularly during batch production, the efficiency of batch production is reduced by 40 percent as each testing time is increased by about 40 minutes;
in the second method, the DC OFFSET and the phase chip can be adjusted by adopting the support chip, and meanwhile, high and low temperature testing links are required to be added, so that the mass production testing work is complicated, and the testing efficiency is reduced by more than 20% in large-scale production.

and S4, the FPGA sends the optimal calibration result to a zero intermediate frequency compensation circuit for calibration compensation.
Specifically, because the DAC outputs an IQ signal to the IQ modulator as an analog IQ signal, and a hardware block diagram is as shown in fig. 4, it is theoretically required that the IQ signal is completely orthogonal, but the IQ signal cannot be guaranteed to be completely orthogonal by an analog IQ signal theory, the IQ signal has OFFSET of DCOFFSET, and meanwhile, the DC OFFSET drifts along with temperature change, which may cause local oscillator leakage and mirror image at the output of a zero intermediate frequency transmission link, which may cause spurs in the output spectrum of the transmitter, and particularly, the DC OFFSET affects the radio frequency index of the transmitter along with high and low temperature changes, which may cause the radio frequency index not to satisfy the 3GPP standard, which may cause differences in signal consistency, and the local oscillator leakage and the mirror image signal of each device are different in size, which may cause high and low temperature individual calibration of each device, which may increase about 40 minutes in each test time during batch production, and may reduce the efficiency of batch production by 30%.

Meanwhile, in order to solve the problem that the DC OFFSET changes due to the temperature change of the equipment, the DC OFFSET is calibrated in real time, and the problem that the calibration work can be finished only by manually carrying out high and low temperatures in the traditional method is solved. And roughly processing the flow, carrying out real-time statistics on the power in the sending direction and the power fed back by peripheral hardware by the baseband FPGA, calculating the minimum value of the DC OFFSET, and updating the optimal DC OFFSET calibration parameter value in real time.
By adopting the automatic calibration method, the invention realizes automatic calibration when the equipment is started, does not need instrument and manual intervention, and can obtain the zero intermediate frequency optimal calibration parameter without high and low temperature tests, thereby obviously improving the test efficiency.

and acquiring the zero intermediate frequency transmitting signal generated by the zero intermediate frequency transmitting part by a signal feedback acquisition circuit.
Wherein the zero intermediate frequency transmit signal comprises an I signal and a Q signal, wherein:
the I signal includes a first amplitude and a first DC OFFSET value;

as phase error, d1、d2The DC OFFSET values of the I path and the Q path are respectively.

When the single board works in real time, a baseband sends broadband signals to the FPGA, similar waveforms are shown in figure 6, and it can be seen from the figure that because the DC OFFSET theory is at the central frequency point of the signals, the actual whole signal frequency spectrum covers the position of the DC OFFSET, if the signals are not processed, the signals acquired by external feedback cannot be distinguished from the leakage of the actual frequency spectrum signals and the DC OFFSET behind the DAC, in order to solve the problem, a part of the sending part of the FPGA adds a high-pass filter with the bandwidth of 1KHZ on a normal signal link, and the direct current position is completely filtered.
