Below, be that the concrete example of digital filter portion 120 describes with FIR filter 120.
122-1～the 122-m of delay portion for example is a memory element, respectively the signal from the input of the synthetic portion 106 (Fig. 5) of modulating wave is postponed, to multiplier 124-1～124-m output.

(setting of filter coefficient)
Then, to implementing the coefficient a of above-mentioned FIR filter 120 (Fig. 6) 1～a mEstablishing method describe.
In FIR filter 120, the coefficient a that multiplies each other by multiplier 124 (Fig. 6) 1～a mBe set to the attenuation of the signal level of offsetting the analog generation.
Fig. 7 is the figure of impulse response that becomes the FIR filter 120 (Fig. 6) of target when being illustrated in the coefficient of setting multiplier 124 (Fig. 6).
And, Fig. 8 has been schematically represented as to obtain illustrative impulse response among Fig. 7 and the figure of frequency characteristic when having set the coefficient of FIR filter 120, the frequency characteristic of Fig. 8 (A) expression FIR filter 120, the frequency characteristic of Fig. 8 (B) expression simulation process piece 14, the frequency characteristic of Fig. 8 (C) expression transmitter 2 integral body.
Preferably set the coefficient a that multiplies each other by multiplier 124 1～a m, make illustrative impulse response in FIR filter 120 presentation graphs 7.
Specifically, as illustrative among Fig. 8 (B), under the situation of the central part step-down of carrier frequency band, set coefficient a in the frequency characteristic of simulation process piece 14 1～a m, make that the frequency characteristic of FIR filter 120 uprises at the central part of transmission band as Fig. 8 (A) is illustrative.
Like this, by simulation process piece 14 that will have frequency characteristic and FIR filter 120 combinations of offsetting this frequency characteristic, as Fig. 8 (C) was illustrative, it is roughly even that the frequency characteristic of transmitter 2 becomes.
As described above, the signal (multi-carrier signal) of the transmitter 2 correcting digital forms in the present embodiment, so that the attenuation of the signal in the compensating analog signal processing, so can generate good transmission signal.
Particularly, the transmitter 2 in the present embodiment is adjusted the coefficient of FIR filter 120, thereby the frequency characteristic of compensating analog signal processing so do not need to simulate the adjustment of part and the high precision int of analog component, can suppress cost.
(second execution mode)
The details of the transmitter 2 of first execution mode is described in the present embodiment.
Frequency band limits filter 102 is input plural number (I, Q) baseband signal, and I, Q component implemented the FIR filter that route is roll-offed and exported after the filtering of (route roll off) characteristic respectively, implement to be used for frequency filtering is for example risen to n interpolation processing and image attenuation (image reduction) doubly.
104 pairs of complex base band signal from 102 inputs of frequency band limits filter of quadrature modulation portion will be to using cos (2 π f j), sin (2 π f j), (i=1n) Biao Shi local signal carries out the result of complex multiplication as I component, Q component output.That is, respectively being output as with each baseband signal of quadrature modulation portion 104 modulated n intermediate frequency f jThe result.
The synthetic portion 106 of modulating wave exports each output of quadrature modulation portion 104 respectively I, Q component after the addition.
The synthetic portion 106 of modulating wave is in up-conversion portion 144 under the situation for the structure (hereinafter referred to as the mixing mode) of only implementing mixing, output I component or Q component, be under the situation of structure of analog quadrature modulation (hereinafter referred to as the analog quadrature modulation mode) in up-conversion portion 144, output I component, Q component both.
Digital filter portion 120 is set up one under the situation of mixing mode, under the situation of analog quadrature modulation, respectively I, Q are provided with the digital filter portion 120 of same structure.At this moment, though I, Q filter factor separately usually equally, can compensate quadrature degree, the phase place of the analogue quadrature moducator of back level to heavens or postpone poor frequency characteristic etc. by making their differences.
D/A converter 13 carries out the D/A conversion to one-sided component to the output of digital filter portion 120 under the situation of mixing mode, under the situation of analog quadrature modulation mode, I, Q component are carried out the D/A conversion separately.Interconversion rate for example is 122.88MHz.
The output of D/A converter 13 is removed picture frequency component more than the 66.44MHz by not shown simulation LPF.
Cos (2 π f under the situation of mixing mode, be multiply by for the complex intermediate frequency signal from 13 inputs of D/A converter in up-conversion portion 144 in its output c) back output, under the situation of analog quadrature modulation mode, in its I component, multiply by cos (2 π f c), in Q component, multiply by sin (2 π f c), and will export after these two multiplied result additions.That is, 144 pairs of input signals of up-conversion portion carry out mixing or analog quadrature modulation, and frequency translation is the transmission frequency band of for example 1.95GHz.As present embodiment, I, Q component are carried out the D/A conversion respectively, in the mode of analog quadrature modulation, obtain high C/N (Carrier-to-NoiseRatio).
Analog filter 145 is removed the out-of-band unwanted frequency component of transmission as the reason of intermodulation distortion etc.If W-CDMA because each carrier wave has the bandwidth of about 5MHz, so the bandwidth of the several times of its carrier wave becomes the transmission frequency band, if for example be 4 carrier waves, then is 20MHz then.Analog filter 145 is to have this transmission frequency band is passed through, and by the such BPF that passes through bandwidth of unwanted frequency component.
As out-of-band unwanted frequency component, representational have the part of frequency f c to send signal leaks into its output from up-conversion portion 144 situation (this machine leaks (local leak)).As present embodiment, intermediate frequency is very under the situation near base band frequency, this machine leaks to be presented on and sends near the frequency band, so leak in order to remove this machine, uses SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) or BAW (BulkAcoustic Wave) filter to have the BPF of precipitous characteristic like that.
The general filter that has precipitous characteristic more, the change (fluctuation (ripple)) by the attenuation in the frequency band has the tendency that becomes big more, and this fluctuation becomes the reason of the smooth deterioration of the frequency characteristic that makes this simulation process piece 14.
In the present embodiment, the filtering characteristic to simulation process piece 14 integral body of the frequency characteristic that also comprised this SAW filter compensates.Below, the decision method of filter factor at this moment is described.
At first, as step 1, obtain the frequency characteristic of simulation process piece 14.
For example under the situation of using network analyser, the output of D/A converter 13 and the output of the power amplification portion 146 that has been connected dummy load are connected to network analyser, and scanning hope frequency scope, thereby amplitude, phase information obtained.
As frequency scanning resolution, be filter sample frequency/N, N can be with the tap number same degree of digital filter portion 120 (FIR filter) or under it, but The more the better.
As step 2, the frequency characteristic of the filter of the contrary characteristic of the frequency characteristic that obtains in the performing step 1 in sending frequency band is designed I, Q phase respectively.Pattern as filter has low pass filter (LowPass filter), band pass filter (Band Pass filter) or all-pass filter (All Pass filter) etc., as long as can realize stable filtering, use any can.In the ideal characterisitics of the pattern that adopts (under cut-off frequency, amplitude from 1 to 0 step-like variation), calculate I phase, Q phase vector signal from the amplitude of obtaining, the frequency characteristic of phase place, and synthetic its contrary characteristic.In step 1, obtain discretely under the situation of frequency characteristic, with each measurement point smoothly or linearity ground connect, become target frequency characteristic.And, more than or equal to f S1In/2 the frequency, for f S1/ 2 grades turn back to the characteristic on border.
As step 3, I, Q phase are calculated in the impulse response of the filter of the frequency characteristic of design in step 2 respectively.For example, according to the discrete Fourier series method, obtain impulse response C with following formula n(i, q).
(formula 1)
c n ( i , q ) = 1 L Σ k = 0 N - 1 | H i ( k N f s ) + jHq ( k N f s ) | · e j 2 πkn N
Here, C n(i q) is impulse response after the n sampling, and N is with will be from 0 to f sBetween be configured to the quantity of the point of equally spaced point when representing frequency characteristic, Hi () is the frequency characteristic of the I phase that calculates from measured value, Hq () is the amplitude response of the Q phase calculated by measured value, f sIt is the sample frequency in the digital filter portion 120.
When only wishing the compensate for amplitude characteristic, utilize the amplitude response of in above-mentioned, measuring, establish phase place and necessarily ask Hi (), Hq () implements to calculate.
According to impulse response, by the tap coefficient a of the such FIR filter of following formula calculating chart 6 (laterally (transversal) type) m:
a m＝c (N-1)-m (0≤m≤N/2)
a (N/2)+m＝c m (N/2＜m≤N-1)
Here, m is a tap number.And implementing as required in tap coefficient sometimes with hamming (hamming), Gauss (gauss) is the window function processing of representative.
(the 3rd execution mode)
Because simulation process piece 14 (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) is made of analog circuit elements such as resistance, capacitor, coil, diode, transistor and IC, so also have temperature dependent properties except frequencydependence characteristic.
Therefore, even shown in above-mentioned first execution mode, relax the influence of the frequency characteristic of simulation process piece 14 (Fig. 5), during variations in temperature, the frequency characteristic of simulation process piece 14 also changes and can not fully relax its influence sometimes around.
Therefore, the 3rd transmitter 3 relaxes the temperature dependent influence of simulation process piece 14 according to the coefficient (filter factor) of temperature setting FIR filter 120.
Fig. 9 is the figure of the structure of expression the 3rd transmitter 3 of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 9, the 3rd transmitter 3 is for having appended the structure of coefficient settings portion 222, coefficient recording portion 224 and temperature survey portion 248 in second transmitter 2 (Fig. 5).
And, in the structure division of the transmitter of in Fig. 9, representing 3, give identical label for the part identical in fact with the structure division of transmitter 2 shown in Figure 5.
Temperature survey portion 248 (Fig. 9) exports as temperature data measurement result with set time interval measurement simulation process piece 14 temperature inside to coefficient settings portion 222.
For example, the surface temperature of analog circuit elements such as temperature survey portion 248 measuring resistances, capacitor, coil, diode, transistor or IC is exported coefficient settings portion 222 as temperature data.
Coefficient settings portion 222 (Fig. 9) from coefficient recording portion 224 read with by the corresponding filter factor of the temperature data of temperature survey portion 248 input and to 120 outputs of FIR filter.
The multiplier 124 (Fig. 6) of FIR filter 120 is to the filter factor of signal times to import from coefficient settings portion 222 of input.
Figure 10 is the figure of the coefficient table of illustration coefficient recording portion 224 records.
As shown in figure 10, coefficient recording portion 224 records are with the temperature and the corresponding mutually coefficient table of filter factor of simulation process piece 14.
The filter factor of record is the coefficient a that sets for the frequency characteristic that compensates the simulation process piece 14 (Fig. 9) in each temperature province in coefficient recording portion 224 1～a mGroup.
Like this, the 3rd transmitter 3 is set filter factor according to the temperature of simulation process piece 14, and utilizes the frequency characteristic of the filter factor compensating analog processing block of setting 14, so can also relax the temperature dependent influence of simulation process piece 14.
(the 4th execution mode)
Because simulation process piece 14 (Fig. 1, Fig. 5) is made of analog circuit elements such as resistance, capacitor, coil, diode, transistor and IC, so frequencydependence characteristic changes in time.
Therefore, even the moment of dispatching from the factory in factory can relax the influence of the frequency characteristic of the simulation process piece 14 (Fig. 5) shown in above-mentioned second execution mode, if but the elapsed time, then the frequency characteristic of simulation process piece 14 also changes sometimes, thereby can not fully relax its influence.
Therefore, carry out self-correcting in the 4th utilization of transmitter 4 after being provided with and set the coefficient (filter factor) of FIR filter 120 again, relax the 14 time dependent influences of simulation process piece.
Figure 12 is the figure of the structure of expression the 4th transmitter 4 of the present invention.The 4th transmitter 4 is for having appended the structure of 326 ones of coefficient settings portion 322, power calculation portion 324, power measurement portion 348, peak-limitation portion 308 and DPD (Digital PreDistortion) in second transmitter 2 (Fig. 5).
Peak-limitation portion 308 especially in the multicarrier transmitter, in order to improve the power efficiency of power amplifier 146, on one side suppress to send the generation of the distortion of signal, suppress peak value on one side.
DPD portion 326 produces the distorted characteristic opposite with power amplification portion 146, thus the nonlinear distortion of compensation generation in power amplification portion 146.The frequency characteristic of digital filter of the present invention portion 120 compensated linears, the distortion of compensation is different with DPD portion 326.
And, the optional in the present embodiment structure of peak-limitation portion 308 and DPD portion 326.
A plurality of frequencies that power measurement portion 348 usefulness are different, for example frequency f of each carrier wave c+ f 1Deng the measurement average power.Specifically, when the part of the output by colligator take-off output enlarging section 146 is imported, at first carry out the frequency of each carrier wave is mixed with the signal of the local oscillator of timesharing output, the LPF that near the signal of 1 carrier component the direct current is passed through handles, by the envelope detection each carrier wave timesharing obtain performance number.Perhaps as other structure, carry out input signal is down-converted to frequency arbitrarily, and the BPF that the transmission frequency band is passed through handles, carry out the A/D conversion, carrying out FFT (Fast Fourier transform) with hits arbitrarily handles, and each frequency component that will take out is by the average detection of involution of I, Q phase, thus the unified performance number that obtains.
A plurality of frequencies that power calculation portion 324 usefulness are different, for example frequency f of each carrier wave c+ f 1Deng the calculating average power.As concrete structure, import the baseband signal #1～#n of each carrier wave, and on average come detection to calculate the performance number of each carrier wave by the involution of I, Q component.Perhaps as other structure, the output of the synthetic portion 106 of input peak-limitation portion 308 or modulating wave, and carry out FFT with hits arbitrarily and handle, and equally each frequency component of taking out is carried out detection and calculated power value.
The performance number of the frequency of the correspondence that coefficient settings portion 322 measures power calculation portion 324 and power measurement portion 348 during identical compares, and upgrades the tap coefficient of digital filter portion 120, makes that its ratio all frequencies in sending frequency band are all certain.For example, the tap coefficient of the frequency characteristic that obtains is synthesized in the frequency characteristic weighting of this ratio on the frequency characteristic of current digital filter portion 120, once more calculate the same and become new tap coefficient with second execution mode with realizing.As long as upgrade to handle chase after change from the time just passable, so very slowly also can, in order to improve precision, the power that power calculation portion 324 or power measurement portion 348 are calculated or measure carries out enough on average better for a long time.But, when the synthetic instantaneous power of each carrier wave becomes big, non-linear grow in peak-limitation portion 308 or the DPD portion 326, the certainty of measurement of performance number are that the certainty of measurement of the frequency characteristic of simulation process piece 14 worsens, so preferably do not adopt performance number at this moment in average computation.
Present embodiment also can make up with the 3rd execution mode.Promptly can be to each storage tap coefficient of a plurality of temperature, simultaneously to each temperature updating of tap coefficients.
According to present embodiment, particularly in the output of 326 demodulation power amplification portions 146 of DPD portion, and control, under the situation of the mode of the error minimum of feasible and original transmission signal (output of peak-limitation portion 308), because the distortion that the frequency characteristic of the linearity of simulation process piece 14 produces is compensated, so its error only is the non-linear error that causes of power amplification portion 146, accuracy of detection improves, and can expect that therefore the convergence of DPD control improves.
(variation 1)
And, in above-mentioned the 1st～the 4th execution mode, illustrated and in the transmitter of CDMA mode, used form of the present invention, but the present invention also can be applied in the transmitter of OFDM (orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing) mode.
Figure 11 is the figure of the structure of expression the 5th transmitter 5 of the present invention.
As shown in figure 11, the 5th transmitter 5 is for the 3rd transmitter 3 shown in Figure 9, the synthetic portion 106 of frequency band limits filter 102, quadrature modulation portion 104 and modulating wave is replaced into the structure of serial transformation component (S/P) 112, mapping portion 114, IFFT portion 116 and quadrature modulation portion 118.
And, in the structure division of transmitter shown in Figure 11 5, give identical label for the part identical in fact with the structure division of transmitter 3 shown in Figure 9.
Transmitter 5 generates and sends the multi-carrier signal of OFDM mode according to said structure.
(variation 2)
Figure 13 is the structure of expression the 6th transmitter 6 of the present invention.
As shown in figure 13, the 6th transmitter 6 is to use the 4th execution mode in the transmitter of OFDM mode, and for the output of compensation power enlarging section in the frequency characteristic that is launched into before aerial, the transmitter that also has digital filter, imagination is carried out the transmission of ISDB-T (the Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial) signal that ground digital television broadcast uses.The part of giving the label identical with the 4th execution mode (Figure 12) or variation 1 (Figure 11) is the part that has identical structure with the 4th execution mode or variation 1.
Shared device/colligator 147 is connected with antenna 148 with power amplification portion 146.General television transmission machine is owing to the antenna of a plurality of of approaching configurations on an iron tower, so, the notch filter of the frequency decay that makes other is set sometimes for the transmission ripple that prevents other seals in power amplification portion 146 and causes chaotic modulation from antenna 148.And, sometimes many power amplifiers be set synthesize in order to improve output or to improve reliability, be provided for distributing to the such matrix antenna of multiaspect synthetic antenna and the hybrid network (hybrid) (three-dB coupler) of powering, be provided for when fault, switching to tediously long system or with other shared coaxial switch (no standing wave switch) or shared device.
In addition, coaxial cable self also has frequency characteristic, and shared device/colligator 147 is represented these frequency characteristics.Though the frequency characteristic of shared device/colligator 147 is not so remarkable, wish also to be compensated.
Antenna 149 receives and is transmitted into aerial signal by antenna 148.The signal that is obtained by antenna 149 is for after 146 inputs of power amplification portion, accepted the signal of the frequency characteristic of shared device/colligator 147, antenna 148 and antenna 149 itself.Therefore, the frequency characteristic of antenna 149 is little of negligible degree, and perhaps the most handy back grade power measurement portion 349 grades compensate by fixed value.And, have under the situation of frequency characteristic in the directive property of antenna 148, be preferably in the little position of this frequency characteristic (as an example, when antenna 148 is rotational symmetric shape, on its rotating shaft) and fix up an aerial wire 149.
The ISDB-T signal that 349 pairs of antennas of power measurement portion 149 receive carries out demodulation, measures the power of pilot tone (pilot) signal (for example Scattered pilot) of each antenna.
Power measurement portion 349 is identical just passable with power measurement portion 348 structures.
Power calculation portion 324 does not need outside frequency translation, the orthogonal detection, and is identical just passable with power measurement portion 349 structures.Thus, can with the power that range-independence ground calculates each carrier wave that is provided with of IFFT portion 116 and digital filter 121.Perhaps, if the power of pilot signal is fixing and known, then power calculation portion 324 as long as continue this fixed value of output just can, do not need the demodulation of ISDB-T signal yet.
Coefficient settings portion 323 compares the performance number of each carrier wave of measuring in power calculation portion 324 and the power measurement portion 349 during correspondence, upgrade the tap number of digital filter portion 120, makes in this ratio all frequencies in sending frequency band fixing.This action is basic identical with the coefficient settings portion 322 of the 4th execution mode.Ratio can calculate and average each pilot signal, perhaps also can be in the hope of ratio calculated after the average power of a plurality of pilot signals.Though during average during long enough precision improve, but the response when switching etc. for system, also can be in imagination because input fault information such as system's switching, and since external causes such as system's switching cause when frequency characteristic changes, temporarily dwindled average time (time constant).
Be transformed to ISDB-T signal in reception from the IF of the transmission ripple of CCTV or microwave band, and not demodulation ISDB-T and in the satellite station that sends again, sometimes do not have S/P112, mapping portion 114, IFFT portion 116, be transfused to digital filter portion 120 by the received signal of orthogonal detection and A/D conversion.That is, under the situation that the signal of the frequency characteristic of having accepted transfer path and these receiving systems is transfused to, digital filter portion 120 these frequency characteristics of compensation just can.This is to reach by the power of the known fixed value of power calculation portion 324 output as each carrier wave.
Utilizability on the industry of the present invention is that the present invention can utilize in the multicarrier signal processing apparatus of the transmission signal that generates the multi-carrier communication mode by Digital Signal Processing and analog.
