The Short Description of accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents the block diagram of resonance modules tuning system, and this system comprises that a plurality of suitable sense position and being used to that is connected to the A/D converter device through a suitable multiplexer controls the digital signal processor of the tuner of resonance modules.
First embodiment of Fig. 2 presentation graphs 1 tuning system, it comprises multiplexer and general A/D converter.
Second embodiment of Fig. 3 presentation graphs 1 tuning system, it comprises independent A/D converter.
The description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention
With reference to Fig. 1, represented to be used for for example individual signals link (with reference to PCT/SE97/01125) of many signal combiners unit of PCS mobile telephone system base station.In the embodiments of the invention, this combiner unit can comprise four tunable resonance modules, and each module arrangement becomes a side to be connected to the output of transmitter separately through separately isolator, and opposite side is connected to public transmitting antenna through phasing network.
The improvement subsystem that Fig. 1 is used for tuning first resonance modules 1 comprise have tuner 3, transmitter connects 4 and is connected 5 tunable resonator 2 with antenna.This system further comprises isolator 6 and the transducer P3 that comprises two circulator elements, and this transducer P3 is used for sensing arrives resonance modules 1 from the transmitter signal T1 of transmitter (not shown), through isolator 6 transmitter connection 4.Transducer P3 in the isolator 6 produces the input signal S3 that comes down to sub-fraction transmitter signal T1.
Input signal 53 is fed to sampler and analog to digital converter (ADC) 8 through first multiplexer (MUX1) 7, will be further described below its sequence of operation, and analog to digital converter (ADC) 8 is fed to digital signal processor (DSP) 9 with the signal of digital form.DSP9 handles this digital signal and therefore calculates a tuning vector, and this vector comprises distance and the directional information that moves this tuner 3.DSP9 transmits control signal C1 to obtain the tuning setting of hope, i.e. the resonance frequency of resonance modules 1 hope to tuner.For tuning vector, DSP9 can specify a tuning speed and quicken to start tuner 3 in addition.
This subsystem can comprise another transducer P2 that is arranged in resonator 2 inside, is used for sensing aerial signal A1 or represents the amount of this signal.This sensed signal S2 be fed to DSP9 through MUX17 and ADC8, with signal S3 relatively, to determine relative phase difference.This phase difference is the measuring of relative difference between the at present just tuning frequency of transmitter signal T1 and resonance modules.Signal S2 comes down to sub-fraction aerial signal A1.Perhaps, output signal can be used to replace the signal S4 of signal S2 by transducer P4 sensing in antenna connection 5 with generation.But in this case, the signal that produces from another transmitter (not shown) may be bigger problem.In desirable tuning resonance modules, transmitter signal T1 and the phase difference between the aerial signal A1 in the antenna connection 5 that transmitter connects on 4 will be zero (when considering the compensating signal transmission).
Certainly, the difference of the real time between the measured value is understood by DSP and is determined.The order of the connection signal (S1-S4) of MUX17 is not very crucial for measuring principle.
Describing two kinds of different modes with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 respectively below estimates difference between the main and secondary signal to be used for determining tuning vector.These examples comprise the estimated signal respective amount.But another possible amount is a signal amplitude.
In Fig. 2, represent main embodiment shown in Figure 1 in more detail.When the operation of DSP9 control MUX17, the S1 that obtains from transmitter signal T1 and be fed to MUX17 and among ADC8, convert digital form one at a time to from the inferior signal S2 that aerial signal A1 obtains.Must consider the time difference between sample value when multiplexing.
If the time very short (order of magnitude of 1/Fs, wherein Fs is the sampling frequency of ADC) between sampling S1 and the S2, might ignore any phase change in the signal that phase modulated causes.The phase delay that compensates (with traditional method) then with multiplexing in change-over period proportional.
If chronic (the multiplexing change-over period is in fact greater than 1/Fs) between sampling S1 and the S2 should estimate that then the phase modulation in the signal changes to compensate it.This mainly utilizes traditional Forecasting Methodology of sample value S1 to carry out, but also can be feedback sample value S2.The delay of the total phase place that compensates then with multiplexing in change-over period and phase modulation be varied to ratio.
For easy to understand, will operation among the DSP9 more fully be described for the described situation of Fig. 3, wherein main and secondary signal S1 and S2 sample simultaneously and change at independent ADC10 and ADC11 respectively.Different step in the DSP operation is:
The carrier frequency of estimated signal S1 (=2Fc).This estimated value of mark.This step is realized by discrete Fourier transform.
2. if interference signal occurs near signal S2, then to use suitable band pass filter and remove sort signal, this filter has the estimated value of system and the characteristic that design parameter is determined.Signal S1 can be filtered by identical or similar filter, changes S1 to change the identical method of signal S2 in the filtering.This has eliminated any unnecessary filtering influence when comparing S1 and S2.
3. the relative phase of the main and secondary signal after the estimation filtering.This preferably uses the method for discrete Fourier transform.
4. according to the result of step 1-3 and the functional mode of resonance modules, can change the filter function of resonator module now according to S1 and the proportional tuning vector of S2 relative phase.This tuner starts through the control output of DSP.
When using tuning vector, the result of step 1-3 can compare with desired value.
In order to obtain identical with Fig. 2 in essence performance, need the high sample rate of twice at least in the solution of Fig. 2 with Fig. 3 solution.On the other hand, the multiplexing number that reduces required analog to digital converter.
In described embodiment, be subjected to carrying out the adjustment of first resonance modules, by the tuned cell in the resonator that moves resonance modules through mechanical linkages from the stepping motor of the signal C1 of DSP9 control.Motor itself can be provided with a limit to the adjustment speed of resonance modules.
Though described the present invention in conjunction with the preferred embodiments.Be to be understood that the spirit and scope of the present invention that to make various modifications and not depart from the appended claims definition.Therefore, the present invention incorporates any system that is used for implementation method claim institute define method into.Though disclosed this method for optimizing, clearly, the mode of measured value that is combined in one or more unlike signal sense position P1, P2, P3, P4 (or other) in the scope of the invention is more than what clearly explain here.
