Definitions
- the present invention relates to the linearization of radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers. It finds applications, in particular, in the RF transmitters of mobile terminals of digital radiocommunication systems. It can also be applied in RF transmitters of base stations, in particular when this station is started for the first time.
- RF radio frequency
- the modulations used for a few years include a phase or frequency modulation component and an amplitude modulation component.
- radio channels coexist in a specific frequency band allocated to the system.
- Each radio channel is subdivided into logical channels by time division.
- Time Slot in English
- a group of symbols is called a burst or packet ("Burst” in English).
- the power level transmitted in each radio channel does not interfere with communications in an adjacent radio channel.
- specifications require that the power level of an RF signal transmitted in a determined radio channel is, in an adjacent radio channel, for example 60 dB (decibels) lower than the power level of the RF signal transmitted in said channel radio determined.
- the RF transmitter must have a characteristic of the output power as a function of the input power, which is linear.
- the radio frequency power amplifier (hereinafter RF amplifier) present in the RF transmitter has a linear characteristic with low output power but non-linear as soon as the power exceeds a certain threshold.
- RF amplifier radio frequency power amplifier
- the efficiency of the RF amplifier is all the better when we work in an area close to saturation, that is to say in non-linear regime.
- Two of the most commonly used techniques are adaptive baseband predistortion and the Cartesian baseband loop.
- the signal to be transmitted is generated in baseband in I and Q format. Furthermore, a coupler followed by a demodulator makes it possible to take part of the RF signal transmitted and to transpose it into band of base (downconversion), in I and Q format. This baseband signal is compared to the baseband signal to be transmitted. An error signal resulting from this comparison attacks a modulator, which ensures the transposition towards the field of radio frequencies (uplink conversion). The signal at the output of the modulator is amplified by an RF amplifier which delivers the transmitted RF signal.
- the signal to be transmitted is generated in baseband, in I and Q format, and pre-distorted via a predistortion device. Then, this signal is transposed to the RF domain using an RF modulator. Then it is amplified in an RF amplifier. A coupler followed by an RF demodulator makes it possible to take part of the transmitted RF signal and to transpose it into baseband, in I, Q format. This demodulated signal in baseband is digitized and compared with the signal in baseband. to emit.
- An adaptation of the predistortion coefficients, carried out during a learning phase of the predistortion device makes it possible to converge the signal in demodulated I and Q format towards the signal in I and Q format to be transmitted.
- part of the signal transmitted is taken at the output of the RF amplifier in order to compare it with the signal to be transmitted. It follows that the linearity is not obtained immediately but only after a certain time, necessary for the convergence of the linearization device.
- the signal emitted has, during a period corresponding to the learning phase of the linearization device, a spectrum widened by the non-corrected non-linearities. It may not respect the constraints on the spectrum of the signals transmitted. This remark certainly applies more to adaptive predistortion than to the Cartesian loop, even if the latter requires, to ensure its stability, initial adjustments of phase and amplitude levels comparable to learning.
- the method disclosed in document WO 94/10765 is based on the transmission by the transmitters of the system of particular sequences, called linearization training sequences, during linearization learning phases. More particularly, training sequences are transmitted in isolation in time intervals forming a particular logical channel of the radio channels, which is dedicated only to linearization. As all the transmitters in the system transmit their respective training sequences at the same time, communications are not disturbed by interference between the radio channels which may possibly occur at this time. There is therefore no need to prevent interference between the radio channels of the system.
- this method has several drawbacks. First of all, it requires prior synchronization of all the transmitters so that they transmit their respective linearization learning sequence in the logic channel dedicated to linearization. In addition, no data transmission can take place in the time slots of this logical channel. In addition, at the start of each transmission or in the event of a radio channel change, the transmitter is obliged to wait for the next time interval of the logical channel dedicated to linearization, unless the system becomes considerably more complex. This is why the temporal spacing between two time intervals of said logical channel cannot exceed the second, in order to guarantee a certain quality of service (QoS). This technique is therefore very detrimental to the spectral efficiency of the radiocommunication system. Finally, since no particular precaution is taken to avoid out-of-band emission during the linearization learning phases, this technique may cause interference to transmitters from other radiocommunication systems which do not conform to it.
- QoS quality of service
- Another method plans to use during the linearization learning phases a second modulator having a bit rate twice as low as the modulator normally used for the transmission of useful data.
- This second modulator generates a signal which has the same amplitude modulation depth but a spectral width divided by two, compared to the signals transmitted outside the linearization learning phases. This makes it possible to avoid jamming the adjacent radio channels with the uncorrected non-linearity signals which are emitted during the linearization learning phases.
- this method is quite complex to implement because it requires a second modulator, as well as associated filters or the use of adaptive filters.
- This second modulator is used only during the linearization learning phases, that is to say for a very small fraction of the time. Indeed, when the amplifier was initially linearized, it suffices to correct any drifts in its characteristics. Linearization devices of the type mentioned in the introduction can do this during the transmission of useful data (at normal rate). The additional cost linked to this second corresponding modulator is therefore hardly justified.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for learning a device for linearization of a radiofrequency amplifier which is included in a radiofrequency transmitter of a first piece of equipment.
- a radiocommunication system which transmitter is adapted to transmit bursts according to a determined frame structure, each burst comprising symbols belonging to a determined symbol alphabet.
- the method comprises the steps of: a) generating a linearization training sequence comprising a determined number N of symbols, where N is a determined integer; b) transmitting the linearization training sequence by means of the radiofrequency transmitter, in at least some of the bursts emitted by the latter; c) comparing the linearization training sequence sent to the linearization training sequence generated in order to train said linearization device.
- sub-alphabet means a part of the alphabet considered.
- the sub-alphabet only includes a determined number M1 of these symbols (sub-alphabet M1-ar) where M and M1 are whole numbers such that M1 is less than M.
- the M1 symbols of the sub-alphabet are chosen so as to give the RF signal which is transmitted a narrower spectrum than that given by the M symbols of the alphabet as a whole.
- Said first equipment can be a mobile terminal or a base station of the radiocommunication system.
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a device for learning a device for linearization of a radiofrequency amplifier which is included in a radiofrequency transmitter of a first item of equipment of a radiocommunication system, which transmitter is adapted for transmitting bursts according to a determined frame structure, each burst comprising symbols belonging to a determined symbol alphabet.

- a third aspect of the invention relates to a mobile terminal of a radiocommunication system, comprising a radiofrequency transmitter having a radiofrequency amplifier and a device for linearizing the radiofrequency amplifier, which further comprises a device for learning the linearization device according to the second aspect.
- a fourth aspect of the invention relates to a base station of a radiocommunication system comprising a radiofrequency transmitter having a radiofrequency amplifier and a device for linearizing the radiofrequency amplifier, which further comprises a device for learning the linearization device according to the third aspect.
- a fifth aspect relates to a linearization training sequence intended to be transmitted by means of a radiofrequency transmitter of a mobile terminal or of a base station of a radiocommunication system, which transmitter is adapted to transmit bursts according to a determined frame structure.
- the sequence comprises a determined number N of symbols, where N is a determined integer, these symbols belonging to a determined symbol alphabet.
- the object of the invention is therefore achieved by using a particular training sequence which allows the transmitted RF signal to maintain, during the linearization learning phase, a spectral width compatible with the desired performances without any particular constraint on the instants. where this learning is carried out or on the complexity of the transmitter.
- the bit rate during the linearization learning phase can be the same as that outside of this phase.

- the terminal comprises a transmission chain 100, a reception chain 200, a control unit 300, a permanent memory 400, as well as an automatic gain control (AGC) device 500 associated with an RF receiver of the transmission chain. reception 200.
- the transmission chain 100 comprises a useful data source 10, for example a speech coder delivering data encoding voice.
- the source 10 is coupled to an M-ary data modulator 20 which provides baseband modulation of the data to be transmitted according to a modulation with M distinct states, where M is a determined integer.
- the binary data it receives from the source 10 are translated by the modulator 20 into symbols belonging to an M-ary alphabet, that is to say comprising M distinct symbols.
- the output of the modulator 20 is coupled to the input of a radiofrequency transmitter 30.
- the transmitter 30 From the series of symbols received, the transmitter 30 produces an RF signal suitable for radio transmission via an antenna or a cable.
- the output of the transmitter 30 is coupled to a transmit / receive antenna 40 via a switch 41.
- the RF signal produced by the transmitter is transmitted on the radio channel associated with the transmitter.
- the reception chain 200 comprises a radio frequency receiver 50 which is coupled to the antenna 40 via the switch 41, to receive an RF signal.
- the receiver 50 transposes the RF domain to the baseband (downward conversion).
- it includes a variable gain amplifier 59 which has the function of compensating for the variations in power on the antenna 40 (which can be rapid) so that the rest of the reception chain processes a signal having a power level substantially constant, which ensures good performance.
- the reception chain 200 also includes an M-ary data demodulator 60, coupled to the receiver 50.
- the data demodulator 60 provides in baseband the demodulation of the data of the received signal, that is to say the reverse operation of that provided by the modulator 20.
- the reception chain 200 comprises a data consumer device 70, such as a speech decoder, which is coupled to the demodulator 60. This device receives as input the binary data delivered by the demodulator 60 .
- the unit 300 is for example a microprocessor or a microcontroller which manages the mobile terminal. In particular, it controls the data modulator 20, the data demodulator 60, the transmitter 30 and the switch 41. It also generates signaling data which is supplied to the modulator 20 to be transmitted in logical channels of appropriate signage. Conversely, the unit 300 receives from the data demodulator 60 signaling data sent by the fixed network in appropriate logical signaling channels, in particular synchronization information and operating commands.
- the memory 400 is for example a ROM memory (“Read Only Memory
- the transmitter 30 comprises a radiofrequency power amplifier 31, a radiofrequency modulator 32 which transposes the baseband to the radiofrequency domain ( up conversion), a linearization device 33, a learning module 34 associated with the linearization device.
- the output of the power amplifier 31 delivers the RF signal to be transmitted. This is why it is coupled to the antenna 40 via the switch 41.
- the input of the power amplifier 31 receives a radiofrequency signal delivered by the output of the radiofrequency modulator 32.
- the input of the latter is coupled to the output of the data modulator 20 to receive the series of symbols forming the baseband signal to be transmitted, through the linearization device 33.
- the latter includes for example a predistortion device comprising a palette ("look-up table") which translates each value of the signal to be transmitted into a pre-distorted value.
- the device 33 may also include means for controlling the amplitude of the signal at the output of the transmitter 30.
- the learning module 34 teaches the linearization device 33 as a function of an input signal which reflects the RF signal delivered by the output of the power amplifier 31. To this end, the module 34 receives a part of this RF signal, which is taken at the output of the power amplifier 31 by means of a coupler 36. As necessary, the module 34 ensures the return to baseband of the RF signal thus taken. Although being shown entirely inside the transmitter 30, the module 34 can, at at least in part, be implemented by means belonging to the control unit 300, in particular software means.
- the automatic gain control device 500 allows, under the control of the control unit 300 to dynamically vary the gain of the variable gain amplifier 59 of the RF receiver 50, as a function of information which is received from the fixed network, according to a process known in itself.
- the base station of the fixed network with which the terminal communicates transmits at determined times a determined sequence, called CAG sequence. This sequence is known to and recognizable by the mobile terminal. It allows it to measure the power of the signal received from the base station and to deduce therefrom a gain control of the amplifier 59. This method is implemented in the mobile terminal by the device 500 under the control of the unit 300.
- the transmitter 30 transmits a sequence of AGCs, to allow the dynamic control, by the base station, of the gain of a variable gain amplifier included in an RF receiver of the base station .
- This sequence is known to and recognizable by the base station. She. allows the base station to measure the strength of the signal received from the mobile terminal and to deduce therefrom a gain control of the variable gain amplifier of the RF receiver of the base station.
- the data modulator 20 applies a modulation called F4FM (from the English "Filtered 4-state Frequency Modulation”), which is a proprietary modulation but is being normalized with the TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association). It is a 4-state modulation or quaternary modulation, that is to say an M-ary modulation where M is here equal to 4.
- F4FM from the English "Filtered 4-state Frequency Modulation”
- TIA Transmissions Industry Association
- Each symbol corresponds to two data bits.
- the symbol alphabet is made up of four symbols denoted -3, -1, +1 and +3. We note ⁇ -3, -1, + 1, + 3 ⁇ this quaternary alphabet.
- the RF signal has a spectrum of determined width.
- the symbols denoted -1 and +1 form a sub-alphabet which, when used alone for the generation of the signal to be transmitted, gives the corresponding RF signal a spectrum of reduced width compared to said determined width.
- ⁇ -1, + 1 ⁇ this sub-alphabet we denote ⁇ -1, + 1 ⁇ this sub-alphabet.
- the radio frequency modulator 32 transposes the signal to be transmitted on a carrier frequency to approximately 400 MHz (megahertz) or approximately 800 MHz, in a radio channel of width equal for example to 8 kHz (kilohertz).
- the different radio channels of the system are spaced by. example of 12.5 kHz.
- Each radio channel is subdivided into logical traffic or signaling channels by time division. In each time interval, a burst is emitted according to a determined frame structure which it is not useful to detail here.
- the learning method of the device 33 comprises a step consisting in generating a learning sequence comprising a determined number N of symbols, where N is an integer. This step is carried out by the data modulator 20 under the control of the control unit 300. For this purpose, the unit 300 reads a corresponding sequence of 2 x N bits in the memory 400. Then, still under the control of the unit 300, the learning sequence is transmitted by means of the transmitter 30 in at least some of the bursts transmitted by the latter, according to the frame structure of the system.
- the learning device 34 then obtains the transmitted learning sequence and compares it to the generated learning sequence, and consequently performs actions such as adaptations of predistortion coefficients or others of the linearization device 33, according to an algorithm determined learning.
- This algorithm can be adaptive. We speak of training to designate these operations.
- the spectrum of a burst emitted in a determined radio channel has been represented, outside of the learning phase, in three different cases. In the first case, corresponding to curve 1, only the symbols of the sub-alphabet ⁇ -1, + 1 ⁇ are used.
- the sequence which gives such a spectrum is obtained by simulation or by measurement of the entire emission chain. It may be, as in the example considered here, that this sequence implies that the amplitude modulation depth is also reduced. It may even be that this reduction has harmful effects on the results of the linearization algorithm and thus the sequence chosen is not suitable. This is why, it may be necessary to add a constraint on the amplitude modulation depth as regards the choice of the training sequence, in order to obtain a compromise between the spectral broadening due to the non- linearity of the power amplifier (to minimize) and the amplitude modulation depth induced by this sequence (to maximize). These constraints are variable depending on the power amplifier used in the transmission chain.
- One possible method for choosing this sequence is to carry out a numerical optimization on the choice of N symbols of the sequence.
- the emission chain is taken with all its faults without particular linearization.
- This sequence is generally short (of the order of ten symbols), the optimization can be an exhaustive search for the N symbols making it possible to respect the constraints which one wishes at the same time on the spectral width and on the depth amplitude modulation.
- N1 symbols sent first by selecting them inside the sub-alphabet ⁇ -1, + 1 ⁇
- N1 and N2 are whole numbers less than N such that N1 and N2 is less than or equal to N.
- N1 + N2 N.
- N1 + N2 can be less than
- N which makes it possible to provide other symbols sent between said N1 symbols sent first and said N2 symbols sent last, producing intermediate effects in terms of spectral width and amplitude modulation depth. It may be noted that for any modulation, it is possible to find a signal sequence of fixed length N whose characteristics meet constraints imposed in terms of spectral width, depth of amplitude modulation, and / or others.
- FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a learning sequence according to the principles presented above.
- the complete symbol alphabet is the quaternary alphabet ⁇ -3, -1, +1, + 3 ⁇ of the F4FM modulation.
- M is equal to 4.
- M1 is equal to 2
- the sub-alphabet giving the RF signal a reduced spectrum being ⁇ -1, + 1 ⁇ , N is equal to 10, N1 is equal to 6, and N2 is equal to 4.
- the N1 symbols transmitted first are for example the symbols +1, -1, +1, -1, +1, and -1, successively and in this order.
- the signal transmitted then has a spectrum of minimum width, but the depth of amplitude modulation remains limited since all the symbols of the quaternary alphabet are not used.
- the N2 symbols sent last are for example the symbols -3, +1, +3, and -3, successively and in this order.
- the complete sequence is therefore formed of the symbols +1, -1, +1, -1, +1, -1, -3, +1, +3, and -3 successively and in this order.
- Learning phases can be carried out periodically or otherwise. Other constraints may have to be taken into account after the initial learning phase, when it is just appropriate to correct drifts in the transmitter.
- the learning sequence can therefore evolve both in content and in length.
- the number N is therefore not necessarily fixed from one transmission of the learning sequence to another. If an increase in the size of the sequence poses problems (for example if the frame structure is not very flexible), one can fix the size N of the sequence and just modify its content according to the evolution of the constraints on the system. .
- the diagram in Figure 6 illustrates an example of a burst.
- the burst has a duration equal to 20 ms. It firstly includes a ramp up 51 ("ramping-up" in English) of 625 ⁇ s, comprising five stuffing symbols, to ensure the ramp-up.
- stuffing symbols it is meant that the binary data transmitted in this climb ramp are stuffing bits, that is to say, for example, a sequence of 0s.
- It then comprises a synchronization data sequence 52 whose duration is equal to approximately 5 ms.
- a useful data sequence 53 The useful data can be voice coding data and more generally traffic data, or signaling data depending on whether the burst is emitted on a logical traffic channel or a channel.
- the learning sequence can replace the useful data of the bursts within which it is transmitted.
- the linearization sequence may occupy the place that only part of the useful data of a salvo. This feature allows you to quickly send useful data to the rest of the burst without having to wait for the next time interval.
- FIG. 7 shows an example of such an isolated frame comprising, before the synchronization sequence 52, a CAG sequence referenced 55 which is transmitted by a first device (mobile terminal or base station) to allow dynamic control, by a second device base station or mobile terminal respectively with which the first device communicates, of the transmit power of its receiver (see above).
- sequence 52 and sequence 55 only last from 1 to 3 ms each.
- the other parts of the burst are unchanged with respect to the burst in FIG. 6.
- the useful data sequence 53 can however be shorter than in the case of a normal burst according to FIG. 6.
- part of these isolated bursts is used to allow the learning device 34 of the radiofrequency transmitter 32 to execute a learning algorithm for the linearization device 33.
- the linearization sequence is for example included in the above-mentioned CAG sequence. It is thus possible to use the time necessary for the transmission of the learning sequence for other purposes such as for example the adjustment of the AGC on reception, according to the method which was mentioned above with regard to the diagram of Figure 1.
- the value of the symbols of the AGC sequence is not subject to any constraint (the AGC sequence must simply be known to the fixed network). There is therefore complete freedom to choose the symbols of the sequence, or at least part of the symbols of the sequence, so that these symbols form a satisfactory learning sequence.
- the recurrence of the AGC sequence is adapted to the needs of learning the linearization device 33.
- the AGC sequence like the learning sequence are preferably transmitted at the start of the frame, then during a change of logical channel, during a change of RF frequency and / or during a change of power level. This is why it is particularly advantageous to combine these sequences (these sequences forming only one and only sequence, or one of them being included in the other), and to issue them preferably as indicated below. above.
- the AGC sequence is located as close as possible to the ramp-up of the signal, for example, just following this ramp.
- the linearization device can be learned as quickly as possible and thus disturb the transmission for the shortest possible time.
- the length of the training sequence is such that it does not occupy too large a portion of the burst in order to keep a maximum of symbols for the dissemination of information. helpful. This duration obviously depends on the precision sought for the learning algorithm but a compromise between precision and duration is often necessary in order to keep a maximum of useful information in the burst. A reasonable compromise is reached when it represents approximately 5% of the total duration of the salvo.
- the duration of a learning sequence of N 10 symbols is thus equal to 1.25 ms or 6.25% of the total frame time.
