At first, import main ring by coupler (211) and participate in the signal that the signal (217) of carrier cancellation and sampled signal (214) that main power amplifier is exported promptly participate in carrier cancellation, deliver to amplitude-phase testing circuit (215) with this signal with as the input of two-way radio frequency, this two paths of signals is carried out the detection of amplitude difference and phase difference by the amplitude-phase testing circuit;
Secondly, by the 1st filter (216) amplitude difference and the phase signal of the two paths of signals of carrier cancellation in the main ring of amplitude-phase testing circuit (215) output carried out filtering, the direct current signal of output is delivered to digital signal processing module (23);
Described step 2 comprises following control procedure:
At first, the error pilot tone produces the error pilot signal of circuit (222) output and delivers to quadrature mixting circuit (223) from the sampled signal (228) of intermodulation counteracting output as input and carry out the quadrature mixing, the signal of output two-way quadrature; Before delivering to main power amplifier, the pilot signal that produces circuit (222) output with the time error pilot tone together amplifies with signal;
Secondly, the two paths of signals that quadrature mixting circuit (223) is exported passes through frequency mixer (224) respectively, and (225) sneak into a lower local oscillation signal of frequency that is produced by local oscillator (2211), downconvert to lower frequency ranges;
Then, to be sent to the 2nd filter (226) and the 3rd filter (227) respectively through the two paths of signals of local oscillator mixing output, the direct current signal of output two-way reflection error loop phase place and amplitude is input to digital signal processing module (23) with this two-way direct current signal;
Described step 3 comprises following control procedure:
At first, the 1st isolate to amplify (233) will isolate amplification from the reflection main ring amplitude of main ring radiofrequency signal processing module (21) input and the direct current signal of phase signal, be input to 1A/D transducer (234) and carry out the A/D conversion and the amplitude of main ring and phase information are converted to digital signal are sent to digital signal processor DSP (231);
Secondly, the 2nd isolate to amplify (235) will isolate amplification from the reflection error loop amplitude of error loop radiofrequency signal processing module (22) input and the direct current signal of phase signal, be input to 2A/D transducer (236) and carry out the A/D conversion and the amplitude of main ring and phase information are converted to digital signal are sent to digital signal processor DSP (231);
Then, digital signal processor DSP (231) calls adaptive control algorithm main ring and error loop is reflected that the digital quantity of main ring and error loop phase place and amplitude carries out computing, generate control main ring and error loop digital controlled signal, the main ring digital controlled signal is delivered to 1D/A transducer (232) convert analog quantity to, the error loop digital controlled signal is delivered to 2D/A transducer (237) convert analog quantity to;
Described step 4 comprises following control procedure:
At first, the voltage controlled phase shifter (213) of main ring radiofrequency signal processing module (21) and electrically controlled attenuator (212) receive and from the control signal of 1D/A transducer (232) control phase and amplitude the radiofrequency signal (219) that is used for signal cancellation in the main ring to be carried out amplitude and phase control and generate the radiofrequency signal (2110) of participating in carrier cancellation and deliver to power amplifier carrier cancellation circuit and carry out carrier cancellation;
Secondly, the vector modulator (221) of error loop radiofrequency signal processing module (22) receives from 2D/A transducer (237) control signal vector the radiofrequency signal (229) of participating in intermodulation in the error loop and offsetting is carried out vector control with the phase place that reaches conditioning signal and the purpose of amplitude, the error amplifier that the radiofrequency signal (2210) that generation participation intermodulation is offset is delivered in the power amplifier amplifies, and amplifies the counteracting of back participation intermodulation.
