Abstract

A modulating apparatus that need not use any huge reference tables, can be applied even to a conventional analog PLL modulation scheme, need not control timings with higher accuracy, can correct phase errors with a high accuracy, and that can be applied even to communication systems using no amplitude modulations. In the present apparatus, a signal generating part (101) generates a baseband phase signal. A phase error compensation part (102) multiplies a frequency change amount in a predetermined period or a phase change amount between adjacent data of the baseband phase signal by a parameter inherent in a device to determine a phase error, and then corrects the determined phase error for the baseband phase signal. A storage part (103) stores parameters and calculation formula. A modulation part (105) uses the baseband phase signal to modulate a frequency converted signal received from a frequency conversion part (104), thereby producing a modulated signal.

Modulating device and modulator approach
Technical field
The present invention relates to modulating device and modulator approach, particularly baseband signal is carried out the modulating device and the modulator approach of phase error correction.
Background technology
In the mobile communication system in recent years, using various modulation demodulation systems, wherein the polar coordinate modulated mode is being arranged as the modulation system of paying attention to saving high efficiency wireless terminal power, that can expect.In the polar coordinate modulated mode, in the time of will sending baseband signal and be separated into amplitude component and phase component, the modulation frequency range expands to respect to sending more than 4 times of baseband signal symbol rate.Therefore, with the most widely used analog PLL modulation system in the present GSM mode, when being used in the phase modulation unit of polar coordinate modulated mode same as before, because PLL frequency range deficiency, when modulator is exported, can produce phase error, and become the reason of frequency spectrum generation distortion.
For this problem, send baseband signal by the compensation of expansion PLL frequency range, be suggested (for example patent documentation 1) with the technology of improving PLL modulator characteristic.Fig. 1 is the block diagram that expression improves the PLL modulating device summary of loop frequency range in the past.10 is PLL modulating devices among Fig. 1, the 11st, voltage-controlled oscillator (below be designated as " VCO "), the 13rd, frequency divider, the 15th, frequency division carrier signal, the 16th, with reference signal and frequency division the phase comparator that compares of the phase place of carrier signal 15, the 17th, the control signal of having exported from phase comparator 16, the 18th, be used for loop filter with the error signal planarization, the 19th, the control signal that has been flattened, the 21st, the digital processing unit that carries out characteristic compensation and filtering, the 22nd, filtering the digital modulation output signal, the 23rd, synthesizer, the 25th, through ovennodulation carrier signal, the 26th, digital sigma-delta modulating unit, the 27th, the control signal of having exported from digital sigma-delta modulating unit 26.
With above structure following action is described.Modulate at digital sigma-delta modulating unit 26, and then compare at phase comparator 16 and reference signal, and the control signal of output is flattened at loop filter 18, but this moment because the restriction of the band territory of loop filter 18, the radio-frequency component forfeiture of control signal.The difference of getting the characteristic of loop filter with desired frequency band and the actual loop filter 18 that uses thus is used as penalty function, in digital processing unit 21 these difference of digital modulation compensation data.As above, to be used for the loop filter 18 of reality of PLL modulating device 10 and the difference and the digital modulation data of characteristic that do not produce the desirable loop filter of phase error multiplies each other, can be in the generation that suppresses phase error, the loop frequency range of expansion PLL modulating device 10, and improve characteristic.

The calibrated digital amplitude component that D/A converter 44 will be imported is converted to analog signal, and outputs to adjuster 47.Adjuster 47 is based on the output signal of analog signal and power amplifier 46, and to power amplifier 46 outputs, this analog signal adjustment is controlled at the power of power amplifier 46 curtage of the signal of desired value with analog signal.Power amplifier 46 comes the power of control power amplifiers according to the analog signal of having imported, and modulates the carrier signal of having handled through phase modulated from phase-modulator 45 inputs thus, and the output amplifying signal.
According to such structure, can be in the communication system of using the polar coordinate modulated mode, the phase error of compensation of phase modulator improves modulation accuracy, and then can eliminate the distortion that phase error produces, and satisfies the spectrum requirement that sends signal.
And for example, the compensation technique of the distortion component of the frequency spectrum that produces as the characteristic degradation of following the PLL modulating unit can consider to be suitable for pre-distortion technology (for example patent documentation 3).Fig. 3 is a block diagram of representing pre-distortion device 60 summaries in the past.Among Wy Fig. 3, the 62nd, power calculation unit, the 63rd, the amplitude that calculates in power calculation unit 62, the 64th, the master meter of non-linear distortion compensation usefulness, the 65th, through the non-linear distortion offset data of orthogonal processing, the 66th, the non-linear distortion compensating unit, the 67th, with the digital orthogonal baseband signal of non-linear distortion compensation deals, the 68th, D/A converting unit (D/A), the 69th, analog quadrature based band signal, the 70th, the low pass filter (LPF) of band territory restriction usefulness, the 71st, with the analog quadrature based band signal of band territory restriction processing, the 72nd, quadrature modulation unit, the 73rd, modulation signal, the 74th, the amplifier of transmitting system.
With the above following action of structure explanation.At first, by power calculation unit 62, calculate the amplitude 63 that sends signal from sending the digital quadrature baseband signal.Next, with the amplitude 63 of the transmission signal that calculates as the master meter 64 of address with reference to non-linear distortion compensation usefulness, the non-linear distortion offset data of the non-linear distortion characteristic with transmitting system that calculated in advance is gone out obtains as the non-linear distortion offset data 65 through orthogonal processing.

Below the execution mode that present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying.
(execution mode 1)
Fig. 4 is the block diagram of the communicator 100 that relates to of expression embodiments of the present invention 1.
Modulating device 112 comprises: phase error compensation unit 102, memory cell 103, frequency translation unit 104, modulating unit 105, phase comparison unit 106, LPF107 and VCO108.In addition, communicator 100 expression phase-locked loop (Phase-Locked Loop below is designated as " PLL ") modulating devices.
Signal generation unit 101 generates the baseband phase signal, and the baseband phase signal that generates is outputed to phase error compensation unit 102.
Phase error compensation unit 102 as correcting unit, when each baseband phase signal is imported from signal generation unit 101, phase changing capacity between the adjacent data that use is obtained from the frequency variation of the stipulated time that the baseband phase signal is obtained or from baseband signal, the calculating formula and the parameter of being stored with memory cell 103, calculate and be estimated as the phase error that the modulation treatment by baseband signal produces, the baseband phase signal of importing from signal generation unit 101 is proofreaied and correct the phase error of calculating, and output to modulating unit 105.In addition, the method for asking for phase error will be told about in the back.
Memory cell 103, storage computation formula and parameter, calculating formula is obtained phase error according to the relation between the relation between constant parameter and frequency variation or constant parameter and phase changing capacity, the parameter of parameter for using this calculating formula to obtain in advance.And the information of the calculating formula of storing will proofread and correct the baseband phase signals by phase error compensation unit 102 time and the information of parameter output to phase error compensation unit 102.
Frequency translation unit 104 will become from the modulated output signal frequency inverted that voltage-controlled oscillator (below be designated as " VCO ") 108 has been imported as the frequency of the signal of benchmark and the generated frequency switching signal, and the frequency conversion signal that generates is outputed to modulating unit 105.
Modulating unit 105, it for example is quadrature modulator, baseband phase signal after the correction that use has been imported from phase error compensation unit 102, to modulate and generate modulation signal from the frequency conversion signal that frequency translation unit 104 is imported, the modulation signal that generates will be outputed to phase comparison unit 106.
Phase comparison unit 106 will compare from the phase place of the modulation signal of modulating unit 105 input and the phase place of reference signal, and the error signal of comparative result is outputed to LPF107.
LPF107 will carry out filtering from the error signal of phase comparison unit 106 inputs, and output to VCO108.
VCO108 will will output to frequency translation unit 104 as modulated output signal by the vibration frequency of control signal decision from the error signal of LPF107 input as control signal, send via antenna 109 simultaneously.Finish modulation treatment by VCO108 output modulated output signal.
Next, with reference to the method for Fig. 5 explanation from the phase calibration error of the baseband phase signal of signal generation unit 101 outputs.Fig. 5 is the passage of time of I component (synchronized component) the Wave data #202 of expression phase error #201 and baseband phase signal.
At communicator 100, because LPF107 etc. has frequency characteristic, the frequency range of communicator 100 is to abundant when wide from the maximum frequency component that modulated output signal had of VCO108 output, the frequency characteristic of communicator 100 does not become problem, but the frequency range of communicator 100 is to the maximum frequency component that modulated output signal had when wide inadequately, according to the frequency characteristic of communicator 100, the modulated output signal of exporting from VCO108 can produce phase error Δ θ.
Fig. 5 is that expression will be made as 270.833ksymb/s from the symbol rate of the baseband phase signal of signal generation unit 101 output, when the loop frequency range is made as about 1MHz, be Δ θ to the phase error of the Wave data modulated output signal of the synchronized component of baseband phase signal.As shown in Figure 5, phase error Δ θ becomes bigger at the Wave data of baseband phase signal point jumpy.Herein, phase error Δ θ is the baseband phase signal (non-modulation baseband signal) before the modulation and modulated output signal is carried out poor between the signal (modulating baseband signal) of demodulation.Even guarantee 4 times loop band as shown in Figure 5, still produce the phase error about ± 13 degree approximately.Therefore at receiving terminal for data are carried out demodulation with degree of precision, phase error compensation unit 102 needs phase calibration error delta θ so that make the phase signal of modulated output signal identical with the baseband phase signal.
The variation of baseband phase signal can be represented with the frequency variation of unit interval, so the frequency variation of phase error and unit interval can be represented with the relational expression of formula (1).
Δθ=α·F (1)
Wherein, Δ θ: phase error
α: parameter
F: frequency variation
Herein, parameter alpha is the coefficient that the characteristic according to communicator 100 determines.Formula (1) expression if know the frequency variation F of the unit interval of baseband phase signal, then can be inferred out the phase error Δ θ that produces according to communicator 100.
Next, the phase mass θ of each data of baseband phase signal and the relation between the frequency variation F of unit interval are described.As considering to carry out the data rows of the baseband phase signal of discretization processing, then there is the relation of formula (2) in n-1 data (for example n-1 frame) and n the data (for example n frame) herein, in phase error compensation unit 102.
F(n-1)=(θ(n)-θ(n-1))/(2·π·t) (2)
Wherein, F (n-1): according to n-1 data and n the frequency component that data decide
θ (n): the phase mass of n data
θ (n-1): the phase mass of n-1 data
T: the time difference between each data of baseband phase signal
And then, using the frequency component that determines according to n data and n+1 data (for example n+1 frame), through type (3) can be obtained the frequency variation of the unit interval of n data.
F(n)=(F(n)-F(n-1))/t
=(θ(n+1)+θ(n-1)-2·θ(n)/(2·π·t 2) (3)
Wherein, F (n): the frequency variation of the unit interval of n data
F (n): according to n data and n+1 the frequency component that data determine
F (n-1): according to n-1 data and n the frequency component that data determine
θ (n+1): the phase mass of n+1 data
θ (n-1): the phase mass of n-1 data
θ (n): the phase mass of n data
T: the time difference between each data of baseband phase signal
Formula (3) expression can be converted to frequency variation from the phase changing capacity between adjacent data.That is, to the phase mass θ (n) of n data, if know the phase mass θ (n-1) of previous data and the phase mass θ (n+1) of back data, then the frequency variation F (n) of the unit interval of n data can be derived by simple calculating.Therefore, can use frequency variation and the parameter obtained from phase changing capacity, obtain phase error by formula (1).And for example, to n data, can be from the phase mass of n-1 data and n+1 data, obtain the frequency variation F of the unit interval of n data, and then can be from formula (1) and formula (3), as the formula (4), can derive the phase mass and the relational expression between the phase error of these data of n data.
Δθ(n)=α·(θ(n+1)+θ(n-1)-2·θ(n))/(2·π·t 2) (4)
Wherein, Δ θ (n): n the phase error that data are suffered
α: parameter
(n+1): the phase mass of n+1 data
θ (n-1): the phase mass of n-1 data
θ (n): the phase mass of n data
T: the time difference between each data of baseband phase signal
Thus, through type (4) can be inferred n the phase error Δ θ (n) that data are suffered, so use the phase mass θ (n) of n data can obtain the phase error Δ θ (n) that through type (4) is inferred, by phase error compensation unit 102, to n data phase calibration error delta θ (n), then recoverable is from the phase error Δ θ of the modulated output signal of n data of VCO108 output as in advance.Get final product through type (4), obtain the phase error Δ θ (n) of n data according to the phase changing capacity between adjacent data and parameter.
Herein, 103 stored parameters of memory cell, before the beginning data communication, can will carry out subtraction with the phase place of the modulated output signal of exporting from VCO108 by the phase place of the baseband signal before modulating unit 105 modulation, obtain phase error thus, through type (1) is obtained the phase error of obtaining divided by the frequency variation of stipulated time then.
According to above-mentioned, based on the constant of phase changing capacity between adjacent data and regulation and when asking phase error, use formula (4); Based on the constant of the frequency variation of stipulated time and regulation and when asking phase error, use formula (1).And for example, based on the constant of phase changing capacity between adjacent data and regulation and when asking phase error, 103 stored parameters of memory cell can be before the beginning data communication, obtain phase error by carrying out subtraction with the phase place of the modulated output signal of exporting from VCO108 by the phase place of the baseband signal before modulating unit 105 modulation, through type (4) is obtained the phase error of trying to achieve also passable divided by the phase changing capacity between adjacent data then.Thus, not frequency of utilization variable quantity and phase calibration error.
