Definitions
- the present invention is directed generally to repeaters or signal repeating devices for wireless communications, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for determining and controlling gain margin in signal repeating systems.
- an overall wireless system may consist of a plurality of base stations that communicate with each other and operate to provide a defined coverage area.
- coverage areas there are often smaller geographical areas that have very low signal reception with respect to one or more of the base stations.
- areas of low signal coverage may be within buildings or areas that are otherwise obstructed.
- repeaters are utilized.
- a repeater essentially has a donor antenna that is in communication with one or more base stations.
- the repeater receives downlink signals from the base station, processes and amplifies those signals, and then re-transmits or “repeats” those signals through a coverage antenna into the area that otherwise has low signal reception or low signal power.
- Signals from mobile devices, such as wireless phones or other equipment, send any uplink signals back to the repeater, and that uplink traffic is repeated back to a base station.
- a basic wireless communication system 10 might include a base station 12 that communicates with a repeater system 14 having a donor antenna 16 , a coverage antenna 18 , and processing electronics 20 that are positioned between the antennas 16 and 18 to process and amplify the repeated signal.
- downlink wireless signals 22 are received by the donor antenna 16 of the repeater, and are then amplified and repeated through the coverage antenna 18 as downlink signals 22 a.
- the downlink signals 22 a are received by one or more wireless communication devices, such as mobile phones 24 .
- the wireless device 24 communicates signals 26 a back to the coverage antenna and the repeated signal 26 is then provided as an uplink signal back to the base station 12 .
- the repeater systems 14 can take many different forms and are not limited only to devices conventionally called “repeaters”.
- Some repeater systems provide frequency translation in the repeated signals such that signals received from the base station by the repeater are then transmitted at a different frequency to the mobile devices or other wireless devices.
- signal isolation between the antennas and the problems with feedback from the transmitter coverage antenna to the receiver or donor antenna is not a problem because the signals handled by those different antennas are at different frequencies, allowing the feedback signal to be attenuated with a frequency selective filter.
- the isolation between the two opposing antennas or sets of antennas can limit the performance of the repeater.
- the repeater can oscillate due to the feedback signals. This causes significant performance problems. To ensure stability, it is generally desirable to provide gain or amplification in the repeater that is less than the isolation between the antennas. Generally, a repeater will be configured and operated to maintain a certain gain margin to determine how close it is to operating in an oscillatory or unstable condition. If the gain margin is too small, then the repeater's gain might be reduced or attenuated until the gain margin is above an acceptable threshold.
- the antenna isolation between the receive and transmit antennas can be measured, and the gain margin for the repeater might be estimated by calculating the gain margin as being the (antenna isolation) minus (repeater gain).
- the gain margin determination and gain setting may be sufficient at initial installation, such an installation methodology for providing stability in a repeater is not adaptive. That is, the initial settings and gain margin do not take into account or accommodate any changes in the antenna isolation or any changes in the gain of the repeater. Accordingly, it is desirable to periodically or continuously measure gain margin during normal repeater operation, and to then make the necessary adjustments to the repeater's gain to ensure stability.
- both the input signal that is, the signal to be amplified and re-transmitted
- the feedback signal that is, the unwanted signal that is fed back from the transmit antenna
- One possible way to separate the input feedback signal would be to momentarily connect the repeated transmitter to a test signal, and then measure the level of the test signal at the receive input of the repeater. Measuring the test signal in the presence of the input signal may be utilized to determine the repeater's antenna isolation and gain margin.
- the input repeater signal is not transmitted during the time of the test signal. This causes a momentary and undesirable interruption of the service of the repeater. For example, it might lead to dropped calls or other service interruptions in the coverage area of the repeater.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a repeater utilized within a wireless system for incorporating an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram of a repeater incorporating one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is another circuit block diagram of a repeater incorporating an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is another circuit block diagram of a repeater incorporating an embodiment of the invention.
- the present invention provides a signal repeating apparatus, or a repeater that provides adaptive gain adjustment.
- the inventive repeater determines the gain margin of the repeater and uses the measured gain margin to adjust the gain of the repeater to avoid oscillation and instability.
- the repeater modifies the repeated signals with respect to the receive signals to decorrelate those signals so that the gain margin may be determined.
- the modification is made using a frequency shifting circuit to add a frequency shift and provide repeated signals that are slightly frequency-shifted from the input signals originally received by the repeater.
- Processing circuitry uses the frequency-shifted repeated signals to determine gain margin.
- the processing circuitry uses the measured gain margin to adaptively adjust the repeater gain to maintain the desired gain margin to prevent instability.
- a repeater 30 incorporates a receive antenna 32 (or donor antenna) for processing input signals 31 or input signals, indicated as in(t).
- the input in(t) signals 31 represent the input signals to be repeated, such as those that are transmitted from a source, such as a base station 12 (See FIG. 1 ). Other sources might also be utilized to generate the input signals to be repeated.
- the feedback signals 34 are also shown in FIG. 2 along with the repeated or transmit signals 37 from transmit antenna 36 (or coverage antenna).
- the repeated or transmit signals 37 illustrated in FIG. 2 include the transmitted signals or signal portions that are directed to wireless devices, such as cell phones. As such, the feedback signals 34 reach the receive antenna 32 .
- the combination of the input signals in(t) 31 and the feedback signals 34 are combined, in open space, and are received by the receive antenna 32 in an additive sense.
- the combined input signals in(t) 31 and feedback signals 34 form the receive signal or signals 38 that are the input signals for the repeater.
- the terms “signal” or “signals” are used interchangeably herein to refer to the signal(s) handled by the repeater and are not limited to just a single signal or plurality of signals.
- repeater 30 includes suitable electronics 40 coupled between the antennas 32 , 36 .
- such electronics will include adjustable gain circuitry 42 that provides a desired gain G in the repeater.
- frequency shift circuitry 44 provides the desired signal modification and frequency shift of the repeated signal in accordance with one aspect of the invention.

- the input or receive signal 38 progresses through repeater 30 to become the repeated signal 52 .
- Repeated signal 52 experiences a delay (d) relative to the receive signal, which is considered the delay of the repeater.
- p propagation delay
- p propagation delay
- F feedback gain
- the block diagram of the Figures and the description herein generally illustrates a downlink signal path through the repeater 30 , such as from a base station 12 to the mobile devices 24 (See FIG. 1 ).
- a downlink signal path through the repeater 30 , such as from a base station 12 to the mobile devices 24 (See FIG. 1 ).
- similar uplink path components would be used in the repeater for the uplink direction. Therefore, the discussion herein regarding the downlink signal path also applies to the uplink path.

- electronics 40 of the repeater might provide the various aspects of the invention in the digital domain.
- embodiments of the invention use combinations of digital and analog components.
- a return path such as an uplink path, would similarly process signals from the mobile device 24 back to the base station 12 in order to realize the invention.
- discussion of the signal processing in one path is made herein, with an understanding that generally the similar processing occurs and similar circuit components are used in the signal path in the opposite direction as well.
- the input signals or receive signals 38 are modified for decorrelation by being frequency-shifted, utilizing a frequency-shifting circuit 44 to provide transmission or repeated signals that are frequency-shifted from the input signals.
- the disclosed embodiment of the present invention utilizes an introduced frequency shift into the repeated signals and cross-correlation of the repeated signals with the receive signals in order to isolate the feedback signals from the input signals.
- One way to separately measure the input signal and the feedback signal is to autocorrelate the receive signal with itself. Since the feedback signal is essentially a delayed version of the input signal, the feedback signal will appear as a correlation peak at whatever time the feedback signal is delayed. If the correlation peak of the feedback signal is greater than the autocorrelation profile of the input signal, then the level of the feedback signal can be measured.
- This method has the advantage in that the gain margin can be measured while the repeater is operating. The method is most effective when the repeater delay is greater than 2-4 times the reciprocal of the modulation bandwidth of the repeated signals because then the feedback signal is delayed beyond that point where there is any significant autocorrelation due to the input signal itself.
- Such a methodology may be suitable for high bandwidth signals like CDMA and W-CDMA signals. However, narrowband signals have a very wide correlation bandwidth. Therefore, the autocorrelation profile of the input signal is wide relative to typical feedback delay of the repeater. Therefore, the autocorrelation profile masks the feedback signal.
- a small frequency shift is added to the output of the repeater, or is added to the repeated signals that are transmitted by the repeater.
- the frequency shift decorrelates the input signal and the feedback signal. This allows the level of the input signal and the feedback signal to be measured separately by cross-correlating the receive signal with the repeated signal.
- One advantage of the invention is that the gain margin may be measured while the repeater continues to operate and provide service. Furthermore, it provides suitable gain margin measurements even when the autocorrelation profile of the input signal is very wide, such as for narrowband signals.
- the frequency shift f shift is small so that it does not affect system performance significantly.
- the methodology of the invention operates based upon the fact that a wide sense stationary random signal cross-correlated with a frequency-shifted version of the same signal that has gone through any linear, time-invariant transformation has an average value of zero. Additionally, a wide sense stationary random signal multiplied by the complex conjugate of the same signal that has been frequency shifted and that has gone through any linear time invariant transformation has a phase that is uniformly distributed from ⁇ to ⁇ with an average value of zero over integer periods of the frequency shift. This property implies that a correlation performed over integer periods of the frequency shift will have an average value of zero.
- This invention is applicable when the properties of the signals the repeater operates on, or repeats, are or can be transformed to be approximately similar to a wide sense stationary random signal over the measurement interval and when the forward and feedback path can be approximated as a linear, time invariant transform over the measurement interval.
- the cross-correlations are performed over exactly an integer number of periods of the frequency shift f shift to insure that the average cross-correlation phase is zero. Meeting that criterion, the invention minimizes the measurement period. If the measurement is performed over a non-integer number of periods, then the cross-correlation must be performed over a long enough time such that the average phase is still near zero.
- a frequency shift is provided to the repeated signal so that the gain margin may be measured by comparing the level of the input signal with the level of the feedback signal.
- the repeated signal output indicated as 37 is cross-correlated with the receive signal 38 .
- the cross-correlation is performed over a time window that is greater than or equal to the maximum time delay of the feedback signal 34 relative to the input signal 31 .
- the frequency shift provided to the output of the repeater or the repeated signal 37 is mathematically removed prior to the cross-correlation, and the resulting unshifted signal is cross-correlated with the receive signal 38 .
- That cross-correlation is performed over a time window that is also greater than or equal to the maximum time delay of the feedback signal 34 relative to the input signal 31 .
- the peak value of the cross-correlation is the relative level of the input signal.
- the gain margin is then calculated as the ratio of the relative level of the input signal to the relative level of the feedback signal.
- the input signal 31 is indicated as in(t), the repeater gain as “G”, the feedback gain as “F”, the repeater delay as “d”, and the propagation delay of the feedback signal from the transmit antenna 36 to the receive antenna 32 as “p”.
- the frequency shift is indicated as f shift .
- the repeated signal 37 is cross-correlated with the receive signal 38 .
- Correlation is a linear operation, therefore this cross-correlation is equivalent to the sum of the input signal 31 in(t) cross-correlated with the repeated signal 37 tx(t) and the feedback signal 34 F ⁇ tx(t ⁇ p) cross-correlated with the repeated signal 37 tx(t).
- the cross correlation of in(t) with tx(t) will have an average value of zero because the signals are uncorrelated due the frequency shift.
- the frequency shift is mathematically removed from the repeated signal 52 tx(t) prior to calculating the cross-correlation, and the unshifted repeated signal is then cross-correlated with the receive signal 38 .
- the frequency shift can be mathematically removed by multiplying it with a complex exponential with the negative of the frequency shift as shown in EQ. 3.
- tx unshift (t) tx(t) ⁇ e ⁇ j ⁇ 2 ⁇ fshift ⁇ t EQ. 3
- rx(t ⁇ d) can be split into its components, in(t) and F ⁇ tx(t ⁇ p).
- the ratio of the input and feedback signals is determined by other methodology that relies upon the fact that the input signal and feedback signal are decorrelated due to the applied frequency shift of the repeated signal.
- the average power of the receive signal can be calculated, rx rms 2 .
- the relative level of the feedback signal in the receive signal is then calculated as the cross-correlation of the receive signal with the receive signal shifted by the negative of the frequency shift provided by the transmission circuitry of the invention.
- the feedback signal in this case is represented as the delayed input signal multiplied by the loop gain of the repeater multiplied by the frequency shift, G ⁇ F ⁇ rx(t ⁇ d ⁇ p) ⁇ e j ⁇ 2 ⁇ fshift ⁇ t .
- the receive signal can then be represented as the sum of the input signal and the feedback signal as shown in EQ. 5.
- rx(t) in(t)+G ⁇ F ⁇ rx(t ⁇ d ⁇ p) ⁇ e j ⁇ 2 ⁇ fshift ⁇ t EQ. 5
- the receive signal shifted by the negative of the frequency shift fshift is shown in EQ. 6
- rx unshift (t) in(t) ⁇ e ⁇ j ⁇ 2 ⁇ fshift ⁇ t +G ⁇ F ⁇ rx(t ⁇ d ⁇ p) EQ. 6
- the cross correlation of rx(t) with rx shift (t) is equivalent to the sum of the input signal 31 in(t) with a negative frequency shift applied cross-correlated with the receive signal rx(t) and the feedback signal G ⁇ F ⁇ rx(t ⁇ d ⁇ p) cross correlated with rx(t).
- G and F are linear, time-invariant systems, then the cross correlation of in(t) ⁇ e ⁇ j ⁇ 2 ⁇ fshift ⁇ t with rx(t) will have an average value of zero because the signals are uncorrelated.
- the gain margin can then be calculated as the ratio of the average power of rx(t) to the cross-correlation of rx(t) and rx shift (t) as shown in EQ. 7.
- the correlation circuitry insures that the average phase of the cross-correlation is zero, while minimizing the number of computations. If the frequency shift is small and the bandwidth of the signal is very large, then the calculations are performed over a large number of samples. However, to minimize the number of computations, one embodiment of the invention performs a windowed cross-correlation. The windows are equally distributed throughout one period of the frequency shift f shift . For instance, if the frequency shift was one Hertz, the correlation would have to be performed over a one-second period. However, if a window were applied from 0-0.1 seconds and 0.5-0.6 seconds, then the average phase of the cross-correlations would still sum to zero. Generally, any number of windows can be used as long as the average phase of the cross-correlations equals zero.
- the correlation circuitry or processing circuitry assumes that the magnitude of the repeated signal is approximately constant throughout the measurement period. If the magnitude of the signal's envelope varies greatly during the measurement, the sum of the correlations may not add to zero.
- the receive and repeated/transmit signals are normalized so that they have a constant envelope prior to the correlation calculations. Normalization does not change the ratio of the input signal to the feedback signal. If the receive signal and repeated signal are normalized by the same function, the methodology of the invention continues to provide the desired results.
- one embodiment of the invention may provide a constant frequency shift that is always applied to the repeated signal.
- the frequency shift feature is selectable and may be selectively turned ON or OFF selectively as the gain margin measurement is needed.
- the frequency shift may be selectively varied both in the amount of the frequency shift, and also the sign of the shift.
- the invention may alternate between a positive frequency shift and a negative frequency shift so that the overall average frequency shift utilized in the invention is zero.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 those figures set forth schematic diagrams with respect to various embodiments of the invention.
- the frequency shift is supplied after the gain block within the repeater circuitry.
- the frequency shift is applied prior to the gain block.
- the frequency shift circuitry might be implemented anywhere between the receive input and the transmit output in accordance with the principles of the invention.
- repeater 30 a incorporates a receive antenna 32 and transmit antenna 36 coupled with appropriate repeater circuitry 40 a.
- the components are shown in a downlink path 60 in the repeater 30 a. Similar components will exist in the uplink path 62 for handling uplink traffic between wireless devices and a base station for example. Accordingly, components within the downlink path 60 will be described herein in further detail with the assumption that similar functionality and components would be utilized in the uplink path 62 .
- Receive antenna 32 receives both the input signal and frequency shifted or modified feedback signal. That receive signal is coupled to a low noise amplifier (LNA) 64 for amplifying downlink RF receive signals from a base station.
- LNA low noise amplifier
- a mixer component 66 is fed by an appropriate local oscillator (LO) signal and converts the RF receive signal 38 to an IF signal at a different IF frequency or a frequency at or near the baseband frequency for ease of later processing in the repeater.
- the signal is then filtered by a filter component or circuitry 68 .
- the repeater circuitry incorporates both analog and digital components.
- Digital signal processing circuitry 70 is implemented for adjusting gain as well as for providing the necessary modification, such as a frequency shift f shift , to the repeater signal before it is transmitted as a repeated signal.
- an A/D converter circuit 72 converts the analog signal to an appropriate digital signal for further digital processing.
- the digital signal is sent to DSP circuitry 70 that might be an FPGA, digital signal processor or other such element.
- the DSP circuitry might include an additional digital mixer circuit 74 fed by a suitable numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO) signal to provide digital downconversion for ease of further processing.
- NCO numerically-controlled oscillator
- the signal might also be filtered by an appropriate digital filter 76 . Filter 76 might also change the amplitude of the signal.
- Component 78 represents suitable circuitry for adjusting the gain within repeater 30 a. Although as noted, the gain component might be implemented together with the filter 76 .
- frequency-shifting circuitry 80 provides the desired frequency shift within the repeated signals in order to provide the proper decorrelation between the feedback signal 34 and the input signal 31 .
- the signal has a frequency shift added by mixing it with the frequency shift oscillator.
- the signal might then be digitally upconverted by appropriate digital upconversion circuitry 82 fed by a transmit NCO. The signal may then be converted to back to an analog signal by D/A circuitry 84 .
- the analog signal such as at analog IF, is further upconverted with mixer circuitry 86 fed by an appropriate transmit LO to an appropriate RF signal.
- the RF signal is filtered by filter circuitry 88 , and then fed to an RF power amplifier 90 before being transmitted as a repeated signal through the transmit antenna 36 .
- the mixing elements are typical of a repeater. There can be more or fewer mixing elements than illustrated in the examples and still implement a functional repeater.
- the frequency shift mixing operation can be combined with one or more of the other mixers if desired. However, the mixing operations must be implemented such that the frequency of the input signal and the frequency of the transmit or repeated signal differ by the amount of the frequency shift.
- the frequency shift mixer is shown after the filter; however, t can be placed anywhere between the receive and transmit antennas. In FIG. 4 it is shown prior to the filter and/or gain block.
- the noted correlation functionality is provided by suitable correlation circuit 100 within the digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry 70 .
- the correlations to determine gain margin are performed by a capturing samples of the signal in the digital path and performing the described calculations.
- the capture point may be anywhere in the signal path, either before or after the frequency shift circuit because the circuit has the ability to add or remove the applied frequency shift by mathematical computation.
- the correlation circuit samples the receive signal 38 via suitable connections 102 and also is coupled to sample the frequency-shifted repeated signal in the repeater path as illustrated by the appropriate connection 104 .
- Correlation circuit 100 may also provide the necessary functionality for automatically controlling the gain through the gain component 78 by way of line 106 based on the measured correlations and determined gain margin.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a repeater 30 b of the invention wherein the frequency shift circuitry 80 is positioned prior to the gain block or gain circuitry 78 within the repeater circuitry 40 b.
- the frequency shift of the feedback signal 34 would be identical to the frequency shift of the repeated signals 37 .
- the invention measures and accounts for the additional frequency shifting in the cross-correlation calculations. For example, this might be done by examining or measuring how the phase of the cross-correlation changes throughout the correlation period. By finding constant changes in the correlation phase during the correlation period, the phase change due to any additional frequency shift can be readily determined.
- the circuitry provides a compensating amount of frequency shift that is added or subtracted during the correlation calculation to negate the affect of any additional frequency shift associated with the environment and installation.

- the gain margin might be adjusted through the DSP control circuitry as well as the specific gain adjustment parameters.
- the gain margin is usually greater than 0 dB in order to prevent oscillation. In fact, it is usually kept well above 0 dB to allow for variation in repeater gain, and antenna isolation.
- the present invention by constantly measuring the gain margin as noted herein, provides automatic gain adjustment so that the repeater can compensate for any variation in the gain margin.
- one embodiment of the invention might use a complex sinusoid to frequency shift the repeated signal that is output.

- frequency shift and correlation calculations are implemented in the digital domain, such as through DSP circuitry 70 .
- frequency shifting and decorrelation might also be implemented in the analog domain.
- a mixed signal implementation using both analog and digital components might be utilized to provide the desired signal decorrelation functions and correlation calculations.
- the decorrelating function applied to the repeated signal is a frequency shift
- the methods described herein could be readily adapted by a person of ordinary skill in the art to use alternate decorrelation functions to measure gain margin and control the gain of a repeater to maintain a minimum gain margin.
- the invention might be applied to any type of signal repeating system wherein some part of the transmitted or repeated signal is fed back or finds its way into the input on the receive side as a feedback signal.

Abstract
Description
rx(t)=in(t)+F·tx(t−p) EQ. 1
The output signal, or repeated
tx(t)=G·rx(t−d)·ej·2·π·fshift·t EQ. 2
Therefore, the repeated signal tx(t) reflects the frequency shift of the received signal provided in accordance with one aspect of the present invention by frequency-shifting
txunshift(t)=tx(t)·e−j·2·π·fshift·t EQ. 3
Again, since correlation is a linear operation, rx(t−d) can be split into its components, in(t) and F·tx(t−p). Since the frequency shift has been removed, txunshift(t) is uncorrelated with F·tx(t−p) and has an average value of zero, while txunshift is correlated with in(t) and has an average value proportional to G−1·txrms 2 at t=d.
rx(t)=in(t)+G·F·rx(t−d−p)·ej·2·πfshift·t EQ. 5
The receive signal shifted by the negative of the frequency shift fshift is shown in EQ. 6
rxunshift(t)=in(t)·e−j·2·π·fshift·t+G·F·rx(t−d−p) EQ. 6
