Technical field
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种功率放大方法、 装置和基站。 背景技术  The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a power amplification method, apparatus, and base station. Background technique
在射频通信领域, 曱乙类 (AB类)和 Doherty是两种主流的功放技术, 这两种类型的功放在无线通信产品中都得到了广泛的应用。  In the field of radio frequency communication, Class B (Class AB) and Doherty are two mainstream power amplifier technologies. These two types of power amplifiers are widely used in wireless communication products.
AB类功放主要特点是静态偏置电流大于零, 线性指标较好,但效率相对 较低, 为使功放输出较高的功率, 工程上常用的方法是使用 3分贝 (dB ) 电 桥对两路 AB类功放进行功率合成, 构成平衡功放。  The main characteristic of class AB power amplifier is that the static bias current is greater than zero, the linear index is better, but the efficiency is relatively low. In order to make the power amplifier output higher power, the commonly used method in engineering is to use 3 dB (dB) bridge to two ways. Class AB power amplifiers perform power synthesis to form a balanced power amplifier.
Doherty功放通常由 2路功放构成, 其中一路功放偏置在 AB类, 称为载 波放大器; 另外一路偏置在丙类 (C 类) , 称为峰值放大器, 其基本原理是 负载牵引。 Doherty功放相比于 AB类功放具有效率显著提高的优势, 但同时 其线性指标则较差。  Doherty power amplifiers usually consist of two power amplifiers, one of which is biased in class AB, called a carrier amplifier; the other is biased in class C (class C), called a peak amplifier, whose basic principle is load pulling. Doherty amplifiers have the advantage of significantly improved efficiency compared to Class AB amplifiers, but their linearity is poor.
发明人发现现有技术方案至少存在有如下问题: AB类功放或平衡功放仅 适用于线性要求高, 效率要求低的场景; Doherty功放仅适用于效率要求高, 线性要求低的场景;所以需要为以上两种应用场景分别生产不同的功放硬件, 导致工作于不同应用场景下的基站间的功率放大装置不能够通用、 互换, 提 高了网络建设和维护的成本。 发明内容 本发明的实施例提供了一种功率放大方法、 装置和基站以实现功率放大 装置的工作模式在平衡功放模式与 Doherty功放模式间切换。 The inventor has found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art solution: Class AB power amplifiers or balanced power amplifiers are only applicable to scenes with high linearity requirements and low efficiency requirements; Doherty power amplifiers are only suitable for scenes with high efficiency requirements and low linearity requirements; The above two application scenarios respectively produce different power amplifier hardware, which causes the power amplifying devices between the base stations working in different application scenarios to be unusable and interchangeable, thereby improving the cost of network construction and maintenance.
