Background technology
Development along with mobile Internet, mobile communication is growing to the demand of data business, by the trend that develops at present, 3G enhancement mode HSPA(High Speed Uplink Packet Access, high speed uplink downlink packet access technology) data transfer rate must satisfy new wireless data service demand in the near future.Be the challenge meet growing wireless traffic to increase, 3GPP(The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partner program) the LTE project proposed.
Mobile communication technology development is maked rapid progress, short decades just experienced first generation mobile communication, Generation Mobile Telecommunication System, 3G (Third Generation) Moblie, and the 3.9G mobile communication that plays an active part at global operator at present is LTE.Wherein, first generation mobile communication mainly adopts FDMA(Frequency Division Multiple Access, analogue technique and frequency division multiple access) technology, major defect is that speech quality is not high, confidentiality is poor, data service can not be provided; Generation Mobile Telecommunication System (2G) has adopted TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access, digital technology and time division multiple access) technology, it has improved the confidentiality of communication greatly, speech quality also significantly improves, and data service can be provided, but it can only satisfy lower data rate request; The CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access of 3G (Third Generation) Moblie (3G), adopted code division multiple access) technology, compare 2G, 3G has higher spectrum efficiency, data transfer rate up to 2Mbps can be provided, 3G enhancement mode HSPA can provide the data transfer rate up to 14.2Mbps, but along with the development of mobile Internet and smart mobile phone, the data transfer rate of 3G still can't satisfy growing data rate request; 3.9G being LTE, mobile communication adopted OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) technology and MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put, multiple-input and multiple-output) technology, it has improved spectrum efficiency greatly, and the high energy of downlink data rate reaches 100Mbps.
The full name of LTE is Long Term Evolution(Long Term Evolution), it is the technology evolution of 2G and 3G technology among the 3GPP, and at present, the LTE network of the existing many operators in the whole world is disposed, and this has proposed requirement to LTE network coverage equipment.Because cost is low, be convenient to install, can be used for mending blind and extend the advantage such as coverings, the repeater is widely used in 2G and the 3G network, and is same, and the repeater also can be under some scene of LTE.

System performance index of the present utility model can satisfy the relevant repeater of 3GPP standard.
Because the signal bandwidth of LTE has 6 kinds of adaptive-bandwidths such as 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz, and the outer gain of band that its every kind bandwidth departs from sideband 200kHz all need be satisfied less than 60dB, therefore the utility model has adopted the Surface Acoustic Wave Filter of high squareness factor, and this Surface Acoustic Wave Filter sideband suppression is high.Bandwidth is wider; the inhibition degree is higher; the cost of Surface Acoustic Wave Filter is higher; for reducing cost; and have the characteristics of protection bandwidth in conjunction with the signal of LTE, and the suppressing bandwidth of Surface Acoustic Wave Filter is suitably reduced, satisfying in the spuious situation of system simultaneously; system gain is suitably reduced, to improve the easy degree of realization of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filter.
Described up amplifirer also comprises the power tube that can better satisfy single carrier frequency frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) performance.
Because the high peak-to-average force ratio of OFDM can reduce the efficient of power amplifier, increase cost and the power consumption of power amplifier, be unfavorable for up radio frequency link realization, so up SC-FDMA that adopted of LTE, SC-FDMA has the characteristic of OFDM, peak-to-average force ratio is also less than OFDM, and for these characteristics, the utility model has adopted the power tube of suitable SC-FDMA to be used for the end of up power amplifier module.
