Technical field
The present invention is a kind of when transforming the analog AM medium wave broadcast transmitter as digital broadcasting (DRM) transmitter, the implementation method of audio frequency branch road Digital Signal Processing particularly a kind ofly rises that sampling processing is obtained digital broadcasting (DRM) signal envelope composition and according to the transmitter power Control Parameter and the implementation method of the transmitter supply power voltage being carried out intelligent power compensation based on numeral.
Background technology
At present simulation medium wave (AM) broadcast transmitter that adopts be audio signal 1 by input after amplifier 3, in mixting circuit 5 with from the carrier signal 2 of radio frequency amplifier 4 outputs, carry out mixing, power amplification, launch 16 then, as shown in Figure 1.
Simulation medium wave (AM) transmitter realizes that the amplitude modulation double side band modulation function can be expressed as follows with mathematical formulae:
If audio input signal is: I
ΩCos Ω t
The output signal that obtains after the modulation is:
i(t)=(I
T+I
ΩcosΩt)cos(ωt+) {1}
I wherein
TBe the carrier signal amplitude, ω is a carrier frequency.
Simulation medium wave transmitter signal processing generally is divided into Audio Signal Processing, flip-flop stack, and audio frequency+direct current signal amplifies, and radiofrequency signal is amplified, links such as mixing, power amplification.DC stacked formula { the I of 1} that is equivalent to
T+ I
ΩCos Ω t computing, mixing realizes by multiplication.
The baseband complex signal of digital broadcasting (DRM) channel coding modulator output can be expressed as:
C wherein
R, s, kThe qam symbol vector of representing required transmission, ψ
R, s, kBe the one-period vector signal, according to the DRM standard, the DRM wireless signal of open circuit emission is
Wherein ω represents the radio frequency angular frequency, and then the mathematics formula of DRM modulation can be expressed as:
Promptly
i(t)=I
tcos(ωt)-Q
tsin(ωt) {2}
i(t)=A
tcos(ωt+
t) {3}
Top formula (2) and formula (3) are equal to, and both can directly produce i (t) by digital RF excitation modulator, also can produce cos (ω t+
t) component.If adopt linear power amplifier to amplify, can produce low power i (t) signal by digital RF excitation modulator earlier, to after the linear power amplification of signal, launch then, but the efficiency of amplitude of this mode has only about 40%, for high-power transmitter, waste of electric energy is very serious, and this i (t) signal (shown in (3) formula) also is not suitable for adopting C, the D class amplification circuit that efficient is very high in the analog AM transmitter to carry out power amplification.
Though the radio frequency amplifying circuit of analog AM transmitter can not carry out undistorted amplification to i (t) signal, can be to cos (the ω t+ that does not comprise amplitude information
t) component carries out undistorted amplification, this moment cos (ω t+
t) signal is a radiofrequency signal that only has phase information.
When utilizing analog AM transmitter modulation high power D RM signal, earlier i (t) signal is divided into envelope component A
tWith high frequency phase modulation component cos (ω t+
t), A
tComponent is delivered to transmitter audio frequency branch road and is carried out linear amplification, cos (ω t+
t) component is delivered to transmitter high frequency branch road, utilized C, the D class amplification circuit carries out high efficiency power amplification, then will be through the A that amplifies
tAnd cos (ω t+
t) deliver in the mixting circuit of transmitter and carry out mixing, obtain powerful i (t) signal, realize the power amplification and the modulation of DRM signal.This mode both can make full use of the available circuit and the equipment of analog AM transmitter, had also realized power amplification efficiently and modulation simultaneously, had saved electric energy.The DRM of analog AM transmitter transforms mostly based on this thinking at present, and its block diagram as shown in Figure 2.Audio signal 1 enters DRM coded/modulated device 6, be encoded at DRM coded/modulated device 6 sound intermediate frequency signals/modulation treatment after, output digital baseband signal, and send into " asking mould-D/A switch (D/A) " 7 and digital RF excitation modulator 8 respectively.The road signal of sending into " asking mould-D/A switch (D/A) " 7 generates amplitude envelops, provides audio signal to transmitter, and the Audio Processing amplifier 2 of sending into transmitter amplifies, and finally enters mixting circuit 5; Enter the carrier wave of one tunnel treated generation phase modulated of digital RF excitation modulator 8, substitute the output of the carrier wave exciter 2 in the simulation amplitude modulated transmitter before transforming, send into radio frequency amplifier 4 and amplify, finally also enter mixting circuit 5.
Past, when transforming the analog AM medium wave transmitter as digital broadcasting (DRM) transmitter, the remodeling method that voice-grade channel is taked is the method for " full simulation transformation ", be about to Bezier (Bessel) filter by-pass on the voice-grade channel plate, to keep the DC level information of digital broadcasting (DRM) channel coding modulator, and the level and smooth oscillator of removal 72KHz, improve the bandwidth of whole audio frequency branch roads system, then the DRM signal behind the D/A switch is passed through former audio frequency bypass passage, thereby the audio frequency tributary signal of realizing the DRM signal is handled.Though this method can realize the signal processing of the audio frequency branch road of digital broadcasting (DRM) signal under the condition that does not additionally increase hardware, but the performance index of digital broadcasting (DRM) signal by this kind method emission are not ideal enough, reason is that this method is on signal processing, carry out D/A switch (D/A) earlier, and then carried out mould/number (A/D) conversion.These two links, all introduced certain quantization error, can not bring into play the advantage of existing digital modulation treatment in the existing simulation medium wave transmitter, and make the audio frequency tributary signal introduce some noise contributions, on the other hand, because the envelope of DRM signal itself contains useful high fdrequency component, if simply carry out low-pass filtering, introduce the additional high noise contribution though can reduce, the envelope itself that also can suppress the DRM signal simultaneously contains useful high fdrequency component, makes the DRM signal amplitude distortion occur.These two problems are inherent shortcomings of " full simulation transformation " method, are difficult to technically solve, and therefore make the performance index (as signal to noise ratio) of whole system be difficult to improve.
