therefore, according to the calculation formula of the third-order intermodulation coefficient, the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested is: the sum of the squares of the coefficients of the third-order intermodulation component, divided by the square of the coefficients of the first-order intermodulation component, is multiplied by 101lg (the coefficient is obtained according to the power of the power amplifier to be tested at a 1dB compression point, the 1dB compression point is an index for representing the linearity of the PA (power amplifier), normally, the PA is that the linear output power increases with the increase of the input power, when the PA enters a fast saturation region, the input power increases again, but the output power does not change, and the effect of the 1dB compression point is used for measuring the stability degree of the gain of the signal in the continuous change process) is expressed by the following formula:
Figure 999045DEST_PATH_IMAGE062
therefore, through the steps S101-S104 and the substeps of each step, the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested can be obtained according to the input and output characteristic function of the test signal.
After the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient is obtained, the test signal may be input into the power amplifier to be tested to obtain the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested, as shown in the following step S105.
And S105, inputting the test signal into the power amplifier to be tested to obtain the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested.
Step S105 is the actual testing process, in this embodiment, the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested can be measured by using the spectrum analyzer, for example, the process is as follows:
step 1: connecting a signal source, a power amplifier to be tested and a frequency spectrograph (which can be but is not limited to an Agilent8560EC type frequency spectrograph), and setting the attenuation level of the frequency spectrograph to be 10db and the reference level to be 0 db; the frequency range is: 5MHz, center frequency: 901.5 MHz; of course, the frequencies of the two RF signals of the synthesized two-tone signal are 901MHz and 902 MHz.
Step 2: and adjusting the stabilized voltage power supply of the power amplifier to be tested, respectively turning on the signal source, and inputting a two-tone signal to the power amplifier to be tested.
And step 3: opening a spectrum analyzer, checking the frequency spectrums of fundamental wave signals and third-order intermodulation signals on the spectrum analyzer, simultaneously pressing PEAK SEARCH (peak search) keys on the spectrum analyzer, wherein at the moment, a MARKER point (cursor point) in the spectrum analyzer can search a peak point of the fundamental wave signals, then pressing MARKER DELTA keys (difference cursor key) for activating two cursors for measuring the frequency and power difference parameter test of the two frequency points, and then pressing a NEXT LIFT key or a NEXT RIGHT key (the specific key is determined according to the position of the MARKER point), at the moment, directly reading the actual third-order intermodulation coefficients of the power amplifier to be tested from the spectrum analyzer.
After the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient and the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested are obtained, the theoretical third-order intermodulation intercept point and the actual third-order intermodulation intercept point of the power amplifier to be tested can be respectively calculated.
As shown in fig. 2, in an ideal linear system, as the input power of the test signal increases, the fundamental component and the third-order intermodulation component have an intersection point where the amplitudes of the input signals are the same, which is the third-order intermodulation intercept point; the intersection point is the intersection point of the extension lines of the two, so that the measurement cannot be directly carried out in the actual measurement; therefore, the point can be determined by calculating the abscissa and ordinate of the point.
As shown in fig. 2, in a practical system, since the power amplifier is a nonlinear device, the power of the output signal does not increase linearly with the input signal, and the third-order intermodulation component tends to increase faster than the fundamental component, and theoretically, the linear slope of the fundamental component is 1, the linear slope of the third-order intermodulation component is 3, and a 3-fold relationship is generally maintained between the slopes of the first-order intermodulation component and the third-order intermodulation component, so that the difference between the first-order intermodulation component and the third-order intermodulation component is the third-order intermodulation distortion, and therefore, the abscissa and the ordinate of the third-order intermodulation intercept point can be derived by the linear expression of the fundamental component and the linear expression of the third-order intermodulation component, as follows:

Figure 68446DEST_PATH_IMAGE070
indicating work to be testedSignal gain of the rate amplifier.
The theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient and the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient of the power amplifier to be tested are already obtained through the foregoing steps S104 and S105, and therefore, now only the signal gain and the input power of the power amplifier to be tested need to be obtained, and the actual abscissa and the theoretical ordinate of the third-order intermodulation point can be calculated, as shown in the following steps S106 and S107.
And S106, acquiring the signal gain of the power amplifier to be tested.
In this embodiment, the obtaining of the signal gain of the power amplifier to be tested may include, but is not limited to, the following steps S106a and S106b.
And S106a, obtaining the input power of the test signal and the fundamental wave power of the test output signal according to the test output signal and the test signal.
Since the expression of the test output signal has been derived in step S102, the input power as well as the fundamental power can be calculated from the amplitude modulation signal carrier voltage power calculation formula.
From the expression for the test output signal, the fundamental component is
Figure 933634DEST_PATH_IMAGE071
And
Figure 541333DEST_PATH_IMAGE072
the second order intermodulation component is
Figure 859182DEST_PATH_IMAGE073
And
Figure 843318DEST_PATH_IMAGE074
and the third order intermodulation component is
Figure 297434DEST_PATH_IMAGE075
And
Figure 92345DEST_PATH_IMAGE076
thus, can be derived from the test output signalAnd (6) extracting the coefficient of the fundamental component.
And according to the calculation formula of the carrier voltage power of the amplitude modulation signal:
Figure 631911DEST_PATH_IMAGE077
in the formula (I), wherein,
Figure 419739DEST_PATH_IMAGE078
coefficients representing components of the signal, and
Figure 728360DEST_PATH_IMAGE079
it represents the total resistance of the power amplifier under test.
Therefore, according to the input expression of the two-tone signal, i.e. equation (2), the input power is known
Figure 943441DEST_PATH_IMAGE080
As can be seen from equation (3), the coefficients of the fundamental component in the test output signal are:
Figure 970303DEST_PATH_IMAGE081
thus, the fundamental power is:
Figure 545509DEST_PATH_IMAGE082
after the fundamental power and the input power are obtained, the signal gain is obtained, as shown in the following step S106b.
And S106b, obtaining the signal gain according to the input power and the fundamental wave power.
In this embodiment, the exemplary signal gain is equal to the fundamental power divided by the input power, i.e., the signal gain
Figure 974217DEST_PATH_IMAGE083
Therefore, after the signal gain is obtained, the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient and the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient can be combined to calculate the theoretical abscissa and the actual abscissa of the third-order intermodulation intercept point of the power amplifier to be tested, as shown in the following step S107.
And S107, obtaining a theoretical horizontal and vertical coordinate of the third-order intermodulation interception point of the power amplifier to be tested according to the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient and the signal gain, and obtaining an actual horizontal and vertical coordinate of the third-order intermodulation interception point of the power amplifier to be tested according to the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient and the signal gain.
Step S107 is a process of calculating the theoretical abscissa and the actual abscissa of the third-order intermodulation intercept point, that is, after obtaining the signal gain, the theoretical third-order intermodulation coefficient and the actual third-order intermodulation coefficient, the calculation can be directly performed according to the above equations (11) and (12).
After the actual abscissa and the theoretical abscissa of the third-order intermodulation point are calculated, the difference between the actual abscissa and the theoretical abscissa can be calculated to determine whether the test result is reliable, i.e., as shown in the following step S108.
And S108, obtaining a nonlinear test result of the power amplifier to be tested according to the theoretical horizontal and vertical coordinates and the actual horizontal and vertical coordinates of the three-order intermodulation intercept points.
In this embodiment, if the difference between the two is smaller, it is proved that the error of the test result is smaller, and the result is more accurate, otherwise, the error is larger, and the test result is more unreliable, that is, the error of the tested result is larger, at this time, a retest is required, or an average value is taken through a plurality of tests, and then comparison is performed.
In the present embodiment, the ordinate, i.e. the output power, of the two can be directly compared, and as can be seen from fig. 2, the larger the output power is, the better the linearity of the power amplifier to be tested is; the smaller the difference value of the vertical coordinates of the power amplifier and the reference voltage is, the closer the linearity of the power amplifier to be tested is to the theoretical state in the testing process is, and the more accurate the testing result is; if the difference value of the vertical coordinates of the power amplifier and the reference voltage is larger, the power amplifier to be tested generates larger linear distortion in the testing process, and the testing result is inaccurate and needs to be tested again.
Therefore, by the power amplifier testing method described in detail in the foregoing steps S101 to S108, the invention comprehensively considers the amplitude-phase distortion generated by the signal passing through the power amplifier to be tested, so that the accuracy of the calculated theoretical abscissa and ordinate of the third-order intermodulation intercept point is greatly improved, and substantially provides standard data for the actual test; meanwhile, the error of the test result can be obtained by combining the actual horizontal and vertical coordinates of the tested three-order intermodulation intercept points and comparing the difference value of the two, so that whether the test result is reliable or not can be obtained, and the test accuracy is greatly improved.
