Description

一种数字预失真处理方法及设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术, 特别涉及一种数字预失真处理方法及设备。 背景技术
由于器件及环境的影响, 绝大多数功放的非线性响应都不理想, 会造成 带内带外信号幅度和相位的失真。 特别是目前正大力研发并准备投入商用的 宽帶多载波无线通信系统对射频功率放大器的线性度和效率较之窄带单载波 系统有更高的需求。 下面是目前 3G、 4G技术发展带来的功放应用问题。
1、高发射功率导致宽带功放的线性度严重恶化,直接导致带内信号 EVM ( Error Vector Magnitude, 矢量误差幅度 )的恶化, 以及带外干扰加剧, 目前 测试表明 2010MHz-2025MHz频段在发射额定功率 43dBm时导致临道干扰功 率接近 OdBm,邻道和次临道的 ACLR( Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio, 邻道泄漏功率比)约为 35dBc,和 3GPP ( the 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第 3代移动通信合作项目)要求的次临道指标 45dBc指标相差甚远, 无法满 足 3GPP的规定。
2、 多载波应用 (9载波、 12载波, 甚至更多载波)使得信号的带宽日益 增力 σ,再加上各种复杂调制方式的应用,例如: 16QAM ( Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, 正交幅度调制)、 64QAM、 OFDM ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex, 正交频分复用)等, 发射信号的峰均比很高, TD-SCDMA ( Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, 时分同步 CDMA (码分 多址接入))系统 12栽应用峰均比可达 16-17dB, 即使采用相位旋转也仅仅限 制在 9.5 dB左右, LTE-TDD ( Long Term Evolution - Time Division Duplex, 长 期演进-时分复用 ) 的峰均比也达 10dB左右, 如果仅靠功率回退技术来保证 功放的线性特性, 会使得功放的效率非常低, 通常在百分之十以下, 如果不 回退则会引入很大的非线性失真, 接收机将无法解调信号。 3、 绿色基站对功放效率的要求已经由过去的不到 10%提高到 30%以上, 整机效率也在 20%以上, 目前如包络跟踪等技术的研究表明 >40%的整机效率 是可能的。
上述问题激发了提高功率效率技术的需求, 而功放的线性和效率本身就 是一对矛盾, 如果仅仅寄希望于通过功放技术及工艺的改进来解决上述问题, 目前的器件还很难满足。 因此, 在现有功放技术的基础上, 保证效率的同时 如何提升功放线性特性则非常关键。 DPD ( Digital PreDistortion, 数字预失真) 技术是解决该矛盾最有效的功放线性化技术之一, 它有效的借助现有强大的 信号处理技术在数字域来补偿功放的非线性, 在减小设备体积、 功耗、 成本 的同时提高更大功率的输出信号。
图 1为通用数字预失真方案的示意图,目前通用的 DPD方案如图 1所示。 输入 I/Q ( Inphase/Quadrature,同相 /正交 M言号经过 DUC( Digital UpConverter, 数字上变频), 多载波合并后进行峰均比抑制 CFR ( Crest Factor Reduction, 峰值因子减小, 峰值因子等于峰均比的开平方), 然后对发射信号作预失真处 理, 并经过 DAC ( Digital-to-Analogue Converter, 数模转换器)及载波调制后 进入 PA ( Power Amplifier, 功放), 通过耦合获得功放输出信号并经过反馈通 道回传到数字预失真模块,反馈通道上的 ADC( Analogue-to-Digital Converter, 模数转换器) 的位宽和釆样带宽对预失真性能有很大影响, 数字预失真模块 一直在统计信号特性, 直到找到合适的信号才开始系数训练。 选择信号的基 准可以是信号的动态范围、 PAPR ( Peak Average Power Ratio, 峰均比)、 功 率、 幅度、相位等信号特征; 也可以联合考虑帧结构特点(如包含特殊时隙); 或者特定的传输设计。
某些情况下, 信号的时域特性艮有规律, 那么就可以周期地采用某固定 段信号进行参数估计, 此时, 将不需要统计信号的操作, 而是用一个外部触 发信号触发数据的采集, 例如, 基于 OFDM ( Orthogonal Frequency Divi on Multiplex, 正交频分复用 )技术的 WiMAX ( Worldwide interoperability over Microwave Access, 全球 :波接入互通技术 ) 的 TDD ( Time Division Duplex, 时分双工) 帧结构中, 确定 Preamble (前导)码部分的功率较高, CFR之后 具有较大的信号范围, 就可以作为参数估计样本的上好选择。 如果信号不具 备这样的时域特性, 则随机的采集样本, 并进行信号判定, 一直采集到符合 要求的样本, 才进行参数估计, 以保证所估计参数的准确性。
现有技术主要是基于动态跟踪信号变化来实现数字预失真, 该方法对于 单天线应用表现出很好的性能, 因为 DPD系数训练模块是该通道专用的, 可 以实时跟踪信号的变化, 所以可以及时补偿功放非线性导致的失真。
但是该方法的缺点至少有如下两点: 一是需要实时运行, 因为不知道信 号是否可以用于系数训练, 所以必须一直跟踪信号的变化并和长时间统计的 信号模版进行比较以触发训练, 这给本来就紧张的数字中频资源又多了一道 约束; 二是如需满足多天线应用, 则需要给每路天线单独配置相应的 DPD反 馈通道和系数训练模块, 随着天线数的增加这将大大增加设备的体积和成本, 从产品化角度来看, 可实现性差。
进一步的, 对于基于 OFDM技术的 WiMAX系统, 虽然下行 Preamble信 号发射功率大, 但是由于数据区支持栽波功率提升, 所以真正的发射信号 Preamble的功率并不一定是最大; 此外 Preamble峰均比很低, 小于 5dB, 这 不满足数字预失真训练信号的要求; TD-SCDMA 的广播信道和 DwPTS ( Downlink Pilot Time Slot, 下行导频时隙)信号也均不满足需要的训练信号 特性, 所以还必须考虑什么样的信号可用于 DPD系数训练。 发明内容
本发明所解决的技术问题在于提供了一种数字预失真处理方法及设备。 本发明实施例中提供了一种数字预失真处理方法, 包括如下步骤: 根据需要发送训练信号进入至少一个射频前端设备;
根据需要通过反馈通道采集射频前端设备的输出训练信号;
根据需要对射频前端设备的 DPD系数进行训练;
系数训练完成后, 根据需要更新相应射频前端设备的 DPD系数。 本发明实施例中提供了一种数字预失真处理设备, 包括:
训练信号模块, 用于根据需要发送训练信号进入至少一个射频前端设备; 采集模块, 用于根据需要通过反馈通道采集射频前端设备的输出训练信 训练模块, 用于根据需要对射频前端设备的 DPD系数进行训练; 更新模块, 用于在系数训练完成后, 根据需要更新相应的射频前端设备 的 DPD系数。
本发明有益效杲如下:
在本发明提供的技术方案中, 由于训练信号专门为了 DPD系数训练生成 的, 其可以按需要进行发射, 也可以是周期性或者非周期性的发射, 所以不 需要实时运行, 不必一直跟踪信号的变化并和长时统计的信号模版进行比较 以触发训练;
由于射频前端设备通常都可以包含单个射频通道、 或者多个射频通道、 或者多个 RRU的集合, 而训练信号是根据需要发送进入至少一个射频前端设 备, 并可以根据需要通过反馈通道采集射频前端设备的输出训练信号, 从而 在对射频前端设备的 DPD系数进行训练后能根据需要更新相应的射频前端设 备各通道的 DPD系数, 因此能够满足多天线应用, 且不需要给每路天线单独 配置相应的 DPD反馈通道和系数训练模块, 在天线增加时也不会增加设备的 体积和成本, 从产品化角度来看, 可实现性好。 附图说明

下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式进行说明。
图 2 为数字预失真处理方法实施流程示意图, 如图所示, 在数字预失真 处理过程中可以包括如下步骤:
步骤 201、 根据需要发送训练信号进入至少一个射频前端设备;
具体实施中, 射频前端设备可以采用 RRU ( Radio Remote Unit, 射频拉 远单元), 但是 RRU是基于现在商用基站的架构来定义的, 是业内常用概念。 RRU仅是射频前端设备中的一种, 因为射频前端设备可以为单个射频通道、 多个射频通道的集合、 多个 RRU的集合等。 为便于理解, 下面的实施方式中 主要以 RRU为例子来进行说明; 进一步的, 每个射频通道可以包含一个功率 放大器设备。
具体实施中, 训练信号可以采用预先生成并存储在通信系统中的训练信 号, 当然也可以按照需要生成后即发射。
具体实施中, 在发送训练信号时, 可以按需发送, 或者周期性发送, 或 者非周期性发送。
步骤 202、 根据需要通过反馈通道采集射频前端设备的输出训练信号; 步骤 203、 根据需要对射频前端设备的 DPD系数进行训练;
步骤 204、在系数训练完成后,根据需要更新相应的射频前端设备各通道 的 DPD系数。
进一步的, 在实施中还可以包括:
步骤 205、 根据需要根据更新后的 DPD系数对射频前端设备上的发射信 号进行预失真处理。
在上述实施中, 在步骤 201中, 还可以进一步包括:
预失真处理, 即对发送出的训练信号经过初始预失真处理后再发送进入 至少一个射频前端设备。
实施中, 在发送训练信号进入至少一个射频前端设备、 在采集射频前端 设备的输出训练信号、 对射频前端设备的 DPD系数进行训练、 更新相应的射 频前端设备各通道的 DPD系数时, 可以根据需要进行实施, 这是由于在某些 情况下会出现某些射频前端设备(如: RRU )无需训练的情况。 例如在产品 质量控制程度比较高的情况下, 某些 R U可以根据其他 RRU配置情况, 直 接给出可用的估计系数。 再比如因为随着 GaN (氮化镓)及新的半导体工艺, 甚至 MEMS ( MicroElectron-mechanicalSystem , 微机电系统)技术的应用, 使 得功放有很好的一致性的情况下, 会存在某些 R U无需训练, 甚至整个产品 都只需在出厂时定制好相应于不同应用场景的系数即可。 因此, 实施中可以 根据实践的需要对需要实施的射频前端设备实施相应的处理。
在更新相应的射频前端设备各通道的 DPD 系数时, 可以参见以下 DPD 算法信号执行流程。

图 4为基于训练序列的数字预失真处理方案原理示意图, 图中给出了适 用于 TD-SCDMA或者 LTE-TDD ( Long Term Evolution-Time Division Duplex, 长期演进 -时分双工) 的两通道(天线) DPD解决方案原理示意, 显然, 该方 案可以扩展到任意天线配置, 则如图所示, 简要说明如下:
当需要开始进行数字预失真处理时,通过 DPD使能触发信号触发开始后, 生成步骤 201中的 DPD专用的训练信号; 然后经过 DUC和 CFR后, 分别进 入 RRU-A和 RRU-B的预失真处理 DPD-A和 DPD-B, 然后经过 DAC和载波 调制后进入功放, 通过耦合获得功放输出信号, 并分别经 RRU-A和 RRU-B 发送, 即步骤 201 ; 然后分别经过反馈通道和反馈捕获后抽取 DPD专用训练 信号, 即步骤 202; 开始步骤 203的 DPD训练, 分别在系数更新后进行 LUT ( LookUp Table,查找表)的更新,然后更新相应的 RRU各通道的 DPD系数, 即步骤 204。 在系数更新过程中, 可以依次更新 RRU-A和 RRU-B的 DPD系 数, 也可以同时更新, 视需要采用。
为了更好的理解如何实施本发明, 下面提供实例结合图 4进行说明, 实 施例一中训练信号是在使能信号触发后生成的, 实施例二是预先生成并存储 在通信系统中的。

步骤 501、 系统上电。
步骤 502、 等待时钟触发 DPD系数更新。
步骤 503、 生成系统支持的最大栽波, 最多用户, 最高阶调制时的训练信 号。
步骤 504、 经过 CFR模块限制信号峰均比为目标 PAPR。
步骤 505、 使用 DwPTS时隙或者其他任何下行时隙发射 DPD专用训练 信号。 即发射经过步骤 504处理的训练信号。
步骤 506、 经过 DPD初始预失真后, 即初始预失真处理后, 调整发射信 号电平, 使其满足最大配置功率要求, 并使发射信号进入 RRU。
步骤 507、 设置 RF ( Radio Frequency, 射频)开关, 通过反馈通道采集 RRU-A的输出专用训练信号。
步骤 508、 调整反馈信号电平, 使其保持和发射信号电平相同。
步骤 509、 开始 DPD系数训练。
步骤 510、 设置 RF开关, 通过反馈通道采集 RRU-B的输出专用训练信 号。
步骤 511、 调整反馈信号电平, 使其保持和发射信号电平相同。
步骤 512、 开始 DPD系数训练。
在多天线配置时, 即如两通道 RRU-A和 RRU-B时, 重复步骤 507至步 骤 509, 通过设置 RF开关, 通过反馈通道采集其它 RRU的输出专用训练信 号后开始 DPD系数训练即可。
步骤 513、 系数训练完成后分别更新 A和 B通道的 DPD系数。
步骤 514、 关闭反馈通道和 DPD训练模块并返回步骤 502。
步骤 515、 对发射信号进行预失真处理。
实施例二
图 6 为实施例二中的数字预失真处理实施流程示意图, 如图所示, 可以 包括:
步骤 601、 预生成并存储训练信号在系统中。
步骤 602、 系统上电。
步骤 603、 等待时钟触发 DPD系数更新功能。
步骤 604、 调用预存储的训练信号。
步骤 605、经过 CFR模块限制信号峰均比为目标 PAPR。如果预存的训练 信号是经过步骤 605处理的信号, 则可跳过此步。
步骤 606、 使用 DwPTS时隙或者其他任何下行时隙发射 DPD专用训练 信号。 即发射步骤 605处理后得到的训练信号。
步骤 607、 经过 DPD初始预失真后, 即初始预失真处理后, 调整发射信 号电平, 使其满足最大配置功率要求, 并使发射信号进入 RRU。
步骤 608、 设置 RF开关, 通过反馈通道采集 RRU-A的输出专用训练信 步骤 609、 调整反馈信号电平, 使其保持和发射信号电平相同。
步骤 610、 开始 DPD系数训练。
步骤 611、 设置 RF开关, 通过反馈通道采集 RRU-B的输出专用训练信 号。
步骤 612、 调整反馈信号电平, 使其保持和发射信号电平相同。
步骤 613、 开始 DPD系数训练。
在多天线配置时, 即如两通道 RRU-A和 RRU-B时, 重复步骤 608至步 骤 610, 通过设置 RF开关来通过反馈通道采集其它 RRU的输出专用训练信 号后开始 DPD系数训练即可。
步骤 614、 系数训练完成后分别更新 A和 B通道 DPD系数。
步骤 615、 关闭反馈通道和 DPD训练模块并返回步骤 603。
步骤 616、 对发射信号进行预失真处理。
实施中, 为了获得更好的效果, DPD训练信号可以进一步作如下要求: 1、 训练信号是发射功率大的信号。 由于 DPD是通过补偿功放非线性来提高射频前端设备功率效率的, 所以 反馈信号(RF PA输出) 必须能够很好反应功放的非线性。 这就要求用于训 练的发射信号的功率必须足够大, 峰值功率小于等于 PldB功率点, 或者小于 等于 P3dB功率点, 甚至接近功放的饱和点, 可根据功放效率要求调节。
2、 训练信号是峰均比高的信号。
由于用于训练的反馈信号需要反应功放的非线性, 这要求信号的峰均比 要和功放选型的峰均比要求一致,有足够多的失真信号点经历功放非线性失 真, 这要求选择训练信号要考虑到数字中频部分采样率的变化, 要避免训练 信号包含 CFR漏消产生的尖峰信号, 尽可能选择峰均比高的一段信号作为训 练信号。
3、 使训练信号的动态范围与发射信号的动态范围匹配。
预失真针对的是所有的发射信号而不是发射的大信号, 系数要适用于发 射信号的整个动态范围, 所以训练信号的动态范围需要和发射信号的动态范 围匹配。
4、 对 DPD训练信号进行功率调整, 消除 DPD引起的发射训练信号的功 率波动。
由于 DPD训练信号需要进行相应的功率调整,因此应该尽可能消除 DPD 引起的发射训练信号功率波动。
5、 对 DPD训练信号的反馈信号进行功率调整, 匹配 ADC输入信号电平 的要求。
由于 DPD训练信号的反馈信号必须进行相应的功率调整, 因此应该匹配 ADC输入信号电平的要求, 以保持足够的精度。
6、 对 DPD训练信号的反馈信号进行校准, 使其与发射信号同步且消除 反馈射频通道非线性引起的幅度和相位失真。
由于 DPD训练的反馈信号需要进行相应的校准, 因此应该确保与发射信 号同步且消除反馈射频通道非线性引起的幅度和相位失真。
另外, 具体实施中, 发送训练信号时, 可以使用 DwPTS时隙或者专门用 于发射该训练信号的部分或者全部下行时隙发射训练信号。
具体的, 在 TD-SCDMA系统中, 发射训练信号的时隙可以包括 DwPTS 和 GAP (保护) 时隙, 或者是专门用于发射该训练信号的部分或者全部下行 时隙;
即, 在 TD-SCDMA系统中的特定时隙发射训练信号时, 该特定时隙可以 包含特殊时隙 DwPTS和 GAP时隙或者专门用于发射该参考信号的部分或者 全部下行时隙;
或者, 在 LTE-TDD系统中, 发射所述训练信号的时隙可以包括 DwPTS 和 GAP时隙, 或者是专门用于发射该训练信号的部分或者全部下行时隙。
即, 在 LTE-TDD系统中的特定时隙发射训练信号时, 该特定时隙可以包 含特殊时隙 DwPTS和 GAP时隙或者专门用于发射该参考信号的部分或者全 部下行时隙。
实施中, 根据需要通过反馈通道采集射频前端设备的输出训练信号时, 如果射频前端设备包含多个通道, 则可以多通道时分复用同一反馈通道进行 采集。
具体可以参见实施例一、 二中的实施方式, 也可以从图 4的示意图看出。 下面以 TD-SCDMA系统与 LTE-TDD系统中对专用训练信号的生成为例 进行说明。
1、 TD-SCDMA系统 DPD训练信号生成„
图 7为在 TD-SCDMA系统中生成训练信号的流程示意图, 如图所示, 在 TD-SCDMA系统中, 训练信号在生成时, 可以包括:
步骤 701、产生服从正态分布的随机数用以模拟多用户合并后的信源,数 据长度根据 DPD系数训练要求确定;
步骤 702、 对每个用户采用相同的信道编码、 调制和扩频模式进行编码、 调制、 扩频;
步骤 703、 对编码、 调制、 扩频后的信号进行增益调整, 其中, "为多用 户信号合并的增益调整因子, 根据用户数和码道数进行确定; 步骤 704、 对同一载波上发送的多个用户信号进行合并;
步骤 705、 将合并后的用户信号经过数字上变频 (DUC )和峰均比抑制 CFR (峰值因子减小)后生成多栽波数字中频信号;
步骤 706、 采用上述多载波数字中频信号作为训练信号。
实施中, 训练信号可以根据通信系统支持的最大载波、 最多用户、 调制 的最高阶生成训练信号。
图 8为 TD-SCDMA系统 DPD训练序列生成原理示意图。 如图所示, 在 DBB ( Digital BaseBand, 数字基带, 也可以称为 BB ) 中, 随机序列生成器产 生服从正态分布的随机数 0/1 用以模拟多用户合并后的信源, 数据长度根据 DPI)训练要求来确定;每个用户 /码道采用相同的信道编码、调制和扩频模式; α为多用户 /码道信号合并的增益调整因子, 取决于用户 /码道数; 在 DFE ( Digital Front-End, 数字前端) 中, 不同载波采用相同的基带信源。 其中, ejw'nTs
Figure imgf000015_0001
.. e 中, κ为最大载波数。 其中, ^^^主要完成对不同 用户信号的相位旋转以降低发射信号的峰均功率比, 表示第 1个载波对应 的角频率表示形式, "表示采样点, : ^表示采样间隔。
实施中可以采用具有如下特征的训练信号:
可能用到最大载波数, 如 9/12载;
可能发射的最多码道数, 如 16码道;
可能使用的最高调制级, 如 64QAM;
信号长度取决于算法设计,原则上只要包含足够多能描述 PA失真的点就 可以。
满足这些条件, 则发送数字信号功率应该在实际应用时达到最大, 射频 前端设备确定时从基带到天线口的信号变换关系将确定,最终 RF输出功率一 定也是最大。
因为 DPD训练可以离线完成, 训练信号可以重复, 所以图 8中虚线所示 的训练信号生成部分可以离线运行生成所需要的信号, A点多载波合并后的 信号和 B点数字中频信号均可作为 DPD训练信号,采用哪个信号可根据系统 实现来选择, 具体实施中可以存储在 DFE单元的 ROM ( Read Only Memory, 只读存储器) 中。

步骤 902、 采用生成的基带发射信号作为训练信号;
步骤 903、将基带发射信号经过数字上变频(DUC )和峰均比抑制(CFR ) 模块后生成数字中频信号;
步骤 904、 采用生成的数字中频信号作为训练信号。

特征为: 占用足够多的 PRB ( Physical Resource Block, 物理资源块), 并 尽可能占用全部 PRB, 采用 QPSK或 16QAM或 64QAM调制方式。
