Definitions
- the present invention relates to a clipping circuit and a wireless transmission device using the same, and more particularly to a clipping method for limiting the amplitude of a quadrature baseband signal supplied to a power amplifier in a wireless transmission device.
- a wireless transmission device uses a power amplifier having good linearity over all amplitude values of a transmission signal.

- a power amplifier When a power amplifier amplifies a transmission signal obtained by multiplexing multiple transmission channels such as the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (multiplexing) method, as the number of channels multiplexed into one RF (high frequency) output signal increases, The width of the amplitude value of the signal to be amplified will be widened.
- a signal is amplified using the above-described non-ideal power amplifier, if a signal having an amplitude value exceeding the linearity region of the power amplifier is input, distortion occurs in the RF output signal. become. When distortion occurs in the RF output signal, it becomes an interference wave on the adjacent communication channel, and the modulation accuracy deteriorates. As a result, the BER (Bit Error Rate) of the transmission line deteriorates.

- Square clipping has the advantage that it can be realized with a small circuit scale, but has the disadvantage that a phase error occurs in the data after the clipping process. Since square clipping is a method in which clipping is independently performed in the I-axis direction for the I component of the baseband signal and independent in the Q-axis direction for the Q component, for example, FIG. As shown in (a), if the I component of the baseband signal exceeds the clip level (dotted line) and the Q component does not exceed the clip level, only the I component will be clipped. However, the vector component after clipping has a phase error 6> with respect to the original vector component. When a phase error occurs, the EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) of the modulated wave deteriorates.
