Description

射频信号的发射方法及基站设备 技术领域  Radio frequency signal transmitting method and base station device
本发明实施例涉及通信技术,尤其涉及射频信号的发射方法及基站设备。 背景技术  Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, and in particular, to a method for transmitting a radio frequency signal and a base station device. Background technique
功率放大器(Power Amplifier, 简称 PA )是通信系统中最重要的器件, 存在固有的非线性。 为了获得高效率同时线性度比较好的功率放大器, 通常 可以釆用预失真技术(数字或模拟)来校正 PA发射的射频输出信号对应的 互调信号。  Power Amplifier (PA) is the most important device in communication systems and has inherent nonlinearities. In order to obtain a power amplifier with high efficiency and good linearity, predistortion technology (digital or analog) can usually be used to correct the intermodulation signal corresponding to the RF output signal emitted by the PA.
然而, 由于预失真系统是一个具有反馈性质的校正系统, 所以需要先通 过反馈通道获取 PA 输出的射频输出信号中的互调 ( InterModulation Distortion, 简称 IMD )分量之后, 才能获得预失真参数, 进而才能够使得经 过校正之后的信号输入到 PA, 以实现对 PA输出的射频输出信号中的互调分 量进行校正, 导致了无法对 PA初始阶段 (即启动阶段)输出的射频输出信 号中的互调分量进行校正, 使得 PA初始阶段的线性度较差。 发明内容  However, since the predistortion system is a correction system with feedback properties, it is necessary to obtain the Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) component in the RF output signal of the PA output through the feedback channel before obtaining the predistortion parameter. The corrected signal can be input to the PA to correct the intermodulation component in the RF output signal of the PA output, resulting in an intermodulation component in the RF output signal that cannot be output to the initial phase of the PA (ie, the startup phase). Correction is made so that the linearity of the initial stage of the PA is poor. Summary of the invention

为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于 本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获 得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。 In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be combined with the present invention. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the drawings, and the embodiments are described as a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.
图 1A为本发明一实施例提供的一种射频信号的发射方法的流程示意图, 如图 1A所示, 本实施例的射频信号的发射方法可以包括以下步骤:  1A is a schematic flowchart of a method for transmitting a radio frequency signal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A, the method for transmitting a radio frequency signal in this embodiment may include the following steps:
步骤 101、控制输入 PA的第一射频输入信号的能量, 以使上述 PA对上 述第一射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的第一射频输出信号中的有用分量的 能量与互调分量的能量之间的差值大于预先设置的能量阈值;  Step 101: Control an energy input to the first RF input signal of the PA, so that between the energy of the useful component and the energy of the intermodulation component of the first RF output signal output by the PA after amplifying the first RF input signal The difference is greater than a preset energy threshold;
其中, 上述 PA对上述第一射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的第一射频 输出信号中的有用分量的能量小于射频输出信号的目标能量。  The energy of the useful component in the first RF output signal outputted by the PA after amplifying the first RF input signal is less than the target energy of the RF output signal.
本步骤中, PA对输入的第一射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的第一射频 输出信号中有用分量的能量小于射频输出信号的目标能量可以包括多种实现 方式。 例如: 第一射频输出信号中的所有载波的能量均小于载波的目标能量; 再例如: 第一射频输出信号中的部分载波(一个载波或多个载波) 的能量小 于载波的目标能量, 其他载波的能量均等于载波的目标能量。  In this step, the energy of the useful component of the first RF output signal outputted by the PA after the input of the first RF input signal is less than the target energy of the RF output signal may include multiple implementation modes. For example: the energy of all carriers in the first RF output signal is less than the target energy of the carrier; for example: the energy of part of the carrier (one carrier or multiple carriers) in the first RF output signal is less than the target energy of the carrier, other carriers The energy is equal to the target energy of the carrier.
本步骤中, 具体可以通过多次实验, 确定适当的能量大小, 以使得非线 性失真较小, 从而使得 PA输出的第一射频输出信号中的互调分量可以满足 互调能量指标要求, 即第一射频输出信号中的有用分量的能量与互调分量的 能量之间的差值大于预先设置的能量阈值。  In this step, the specific energy amount can be determined through multiple experiments, so that the nonlinear distortion is small, so that the intermodulation component in the first RF output signal of the PA output can meet the intermodulation energy index requirement, that is, the first The difference between the energy of the useful component in the RF output signal and the energy of the intermodulation component is greater than a predetermined energy threshold.
本步骤中, 具体可以通过控制基带模块发射的基带信号的能量, 控制输 入 PA的第一射频输入信号的能量; 或者还可以通过控制可变增益放大器输 出的能量, 控制输入 PA的第一射频输入信号的能量, 本实施例对此不进行 限制。  In this step, the energy of the first RF input signal input to the PA may be controlled by controlling the energy of the baseband signal transmitted by the baseband module; or the first RF input of the input PA may be controlled by controlling the energy output by the variable gain amplifier. The energy of the signal is not limited in this embodiment.
步骤 102、 发射上述第一射频输出信号, 并耦合上述第一射频输出信号 中的部分回馈到预失真系统; 例如: 通过反馈通道, 耦合上述第一射频输出信号中的部分回馈到预失 真系统。 Step 102: The first RF output signal is transmitted, and a part of the first RF output signal is coupled to the predistortion system. For example: a portion of the first RF output signal coupled to the predistortion system is coupled through the feedback channel.
步骤 103、 根据预先设置的能量增量, 控制输入上述 PA的第二射频输 入信号的能量增加, 以使最终上述 PA对上述第二射频输入信号进行放大之 后输出的第二射频输出信号中的有用分量的能量增加到上述射频输出信号的 目标能量;  Step 103: Control, according to a preset energy increment, an increase in energy of the second RF input signal input to the PA, so that the second RF output signal outputted after the PA is finally amplified by the second RF input signal is useful. The energy of the component is increased to the target energy of the above RF output signal;
其中, 上述第二射频输入信号为经过上述预失真系统校正后的信号。 其中, 如果能量增量设置的足够小, 那么可以使得上述 PA对上述第二 射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的第二射频输出信号中的互调分量可以满足 互调能量指标要求, 即第二射频输出信号中的有用分量的能量与互调分量的 能量之间的差值大于预先设置的能量阈值。  The second RF input signal is a signal corrected by the predistortion system. Wherein, if the energy increment is set to be sufficiently small, the intermodulation component in the second RF output signal outputted by the PA after the second RF input signal is amplified may satisfy the intermodulation energy index requirement, that is, the second RF The difference between the energy of the useful component in the output signal and the energy of the intermodulation component is greater than a pre-set energy threshold.
本步骤中, 具体可以通过控制基带模块发射的基带信号的能量, 根据预 先设置的能量增量, 控制输入上述 PA的第二射频输入信号的能量增加; 或 者还可以通过控制可变增益放大器输出的信号的能量, 根据预先设置的能量 增量, 控制输入上述 PA的第二射频输入信号的能量增加, 本实施例对此不 进行限制。 这样, 能够使得 PA能够输出能量逐步增大的射频输出信号, 直 到将 PA输出的射频输出信号中的有用分量的能量提高到满足通信系统要求 的射频输出信号的目标能量。  In this step, the energy of the baseband signal transmitted by the baseband module may be controlled, and the energy of the second RF input signal input to the PA may be controlled according to a preset energy increment; or may be controlled by controlling the output of the variable gain amplifier. The energy of the signal is controlled to increase the energy of the second RF input signal input to the PA according to the preset energy increment. This embodiment does not limit this. In this way, the PA can output a gradually increasing RF output signal until the energy of the useful component of the RF output signal of the PA output is increased to the target energy of the RF output signal that satisfies the requirements of the communication system.
具体地, 预失真系统对信号 (基带信号或射频信号)进行处理具体可以 利用该预失真系统根据通过反馈通道获取的 PA对第一射频输入信号进行放 大之后输出的第一射频输出信号获得的预失真参数、 和 /或通过反馈通道获取 的 PA对第二射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的第二射频输出信号获得的预 失真参数, 对信号进行校正, 从而实现了对第二射频输入信号进行校正, 以 使得非线性失真较小, 从而使得 PA输出的第二射频输出信号中的互调分量 可以满足互调能量指标要求, 即第二射频输出信号中的有用分量的能量与互 调分量的能量之间的差值大于预先设置的能量阈值。 可以理解的是, 在第二射频输入信号的能量增加的过程中, 第二射频输 入信号的能量可以是逐步上调, 也可以依据第二射频输出信号的情况进行适 应的调整, 例如: 上调、 下调、 再上调, 本实施例对此不进行限制。 Specifically, the predistortion system processes the signal (baseband signal or radio frequency signal), and may specifically use the predistortion system to obtain the preamble obtained by the first radio frequency output signal after the first radio frequency input signal is amplified according to the PA acquired through the feedback channel. Distortion parameters, and/or pre-distortion parameters obtained by the second RF output signal outputted by the PA obtained by the PA after the second RF input signal is amplified by the feedback channel, the signal is corrected, thereby correcting the second RF input signal So that the nonlinear distortion is small, so that the intermodulation component in the second RF output signal of the PA output can meet the intermodulation energy index requirement, that is, the energy of the useful component and the energy of the intermodulation component in the second RF output signal. The difference between the differences is greater than the preset energy threshold. It can be understood that, in the process of increasing the energy of the second RF input signal, the energy of the second RF input signal may be gradually adjusted, or may be adapted according to the condition of the second RF output signal, for example: Up and down And further up, this embodiment does not limit this.
步骤 104、 发射上述第二射频输出信号, 并耦合上述第二射频输出信号 中的部分回馈到上述预失真系统。  Step 104: Transmit the second RF output signal, and couple a portion of the second RF output signal to the predistortion system.
可选地, 上述预失真系统可以为数字预失真 (Digital Pre Distortion, 简 称 DPD ) 系统。  Optionally, the foregoing predistortion system may be a Digital Pre Distortion (DPD) system.
可选地, 上述预失真系统还可以为模拟预失真(Analog Pre Distortion, 简称 APD ) 系统。  Optionally, the foregoing predistortion system may also be an Analog Pre Distortion (APD) system.
为使得本发明实施例提供的方法更加清楚, 下面将以两载波的射频输出 信号作为举例。 如图 1 B所示:  In order to make the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention more clear, the radio frequency output signal of two carriers will be taken as an example. As shown in Figure 1 B:
首先, PA输入能量等级 1 (例如:与射频输出信号的目标能量相差 30dBc 以上) 的射频输入信号, 此时, PA的非线性失真较小, PA对能量等级 1的 射频输入信号进行放大之后所输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量可以满足互 调能量指标要求。 同时, 预失真系统通过反馈通道获取到 PA对能量等级 1 的射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的射频输出信号, 根据该射频输出信号, 计算获得预失真参数, 能够将 PA输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量进一步 改善。  First, the PA inputs an RF input signal with an energy level of 1 (eg, more than 30 dBc from the target energy of the RF output signal). At this time, the nonlinear distortion of the PA is small, and the PA is amplified by the RF input signal of the energy level 1. The intermodulation component in the output RF output signal can meet the intermodulation energy index requirement. At the same time, the predistortion system obtains the RF output signal that is amplified by the PA after the RF input signal of the energy level 1 is obtained through the feedback channel, and according to the RF output signal, the predistortion parameter is obtained, and the RF output signal of the PA output can be obtained. The intermodulation component is further improved.
然后, PA输入经过预失真系统处理的能量等级 2 (例如: 能量增加 2dB ) 的射频输入信号, 此时, PA的非线性失真较之前增大, 但由于该能量等级 2 的射频输入信号是经过预失真系统进行校正的, 因此, PA对能量等级 2的射 频输入信号进行放大之后所输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量可以满足互调 能量指标要求。 同时, 预失真系统通过反馈通道获取到 PA对能量等级 2的 射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的射频输出信号, 根据该射频输出信号, 计 算获得预失真参数, 能够将 PA输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量进一步改 善。 然后, PA输入经过预失真系统处理的能量等级 3 (例如: 能量增加 2dB ) 的射频输入信号, 此时, PA的非线性失真较之前增大, 但由于该能量等级 3 的射频输入信号是经过预失真系统进行校正的, 因此, PA对能量等级 3的射 频输入信号进行放大之后所输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量可以满足互调 能量指标要求。 同时, 预失真系统通过反馈通道获取到 PA对能量等级 3的 射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的射频输出信号, 根据该射频输出信号, 计 算获得预失真参数, 能够将 PA输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量进一步改 善。 Then, the PA inputs the RF input signal of the energy level 2 (for example, the energy is increased by 2 dB) processed by the predistortion system. At this time, the nonlinear distortion of the PA is increased as before, but since the RF input signal of the energy level 2 is passed The predistortion system is calibrated. Therefore, the intermodulation component of the RF output signal output by the PA after amplifying the RF input signal of the energy level 2 can meet the intermodulation energy index requirement. At the same time, the predistortion system obtains the RF output signal that the PA outputs after the RF input signal of the energy level 2 is amplified through the feedback channel, and obtains the predistortion parameter according to the RF output signal, which can be used in the RF output signal of the PA output. The intermodulation component is further improved. Then, the PA inputs the RF input signal of the energy level 3 (for example, the energy is increased by 2 dB) processed by the predistortion system. At this time, the nonlinear distortion of the PA is increased as before, but since the RF input signal of the energy level 3 is passed The predistortion system is calibrated. Therefore, the intermodulation component of the RF output signal output by the PA after amplifying the RF input signal of the energy level 3 can meet the intermodulation energy index requirement. At the same time, the predistortion system obtains the RF output signal after the PA RF signal of the energy level 3 is amplified by the feedback channel, and obtains the predistortion parameter according to the RF output signal, which can be used in the RF output signal of the PA output. The intermodulation component is further improved.
按照上述流程, 逐步提高 PA输入的射频输入信号的能量, 直到 PA对输 入的射频输入信号进行放大之后输出的射频输出信号的能量增加到射频输出 信号的目标能量, 此时, PA的非线性失真进一步增大, 但由于 PA输入的射 频输入信号对应的基带信号或射频信号是经过预失真系统进行校正的 (也可 以理解为, 由于 PA输入的射频输入信号是经过预失真系统进行校正的) 。 因此, PA对输入的射频输入信号进行放大之后所输出的射频输出信号中的互 调分量可以满足互调能量指标要求。 这样, 就可以实现对 PA初始阶段(即 启动阶段)输出射频输出信号中的互调分量进行校正, 从而提高了 PA初始 阶段的线性度。  According to the above process, the energy of the RF input signal of the PA input is gradually increased until the PA converts the input RF input signal and the energy of the output RF output signal increases to the target energy of the RF output signal. At this time, the nonlinear distortion of the PA Further increase, but the baseband signal or the radio frequency signal corresponding to the RF input signal of the PA input is corrected by the predistortion system (it can also be understood that the RF input signal of the PA input is corrected by the predistortion system). Therefore, the intermodulation component of the RF output signal output by the PA after amplifying the input RF input signal can meet the intermodulation energy index requirement. In this way, the intermodulation component in the output RF output signal of the initial phase of the PA (ie, the startup phase) can be corrected, thereby improving the linearity of the initial phase of the PA.
需要说明的是: 每次提高 PA输入的射频输入信号的能量时, 可以保持 一段时间 T, 用以使得预失真系统计算获得预失真参数, 上述时间 T可以取 决于预失真系统的运行速度。  It should be noted that each time the energy of the RF input signal of the PA input is increased, the time T can be maintained for the predistortion system to calculate the predistortion parameter, and the time T can be determined by the running speed of the predistortion system.
本实施例中, 通过控制初始输入 PA的射频输入信号的能量, 以使得预 失真系统获得预失真参数, 并逐步控制后续输入 PA的经过预失真系统处理 的射频输入信号的能量增加, 能够实现对 PA初始阶段(即启动阶段)输出 的射频输出信号中的互调分量进行校正, 从而提高了 PA初始阶段的线性度。  In this embodiment, by controlling the energy of the RF input signal of the initial input PA, the predistortion system obtains the predistortion parameter, and gradually controls the energy increase of the RF input signal processed by the predistortion system of the subsequent input PA, thereby achieving The intermodulation component in the RF output signal output from the initial phase of the PA (ie, the startup phase) is corrected to improve the linearity of the initial phase of the PA.
图 2为本发明另一实施例提供的另一种射频信号的发射方法的流程示意 图, 如图 2所示, 本实施例的射频信号的发射方法可以包括以下步骤: 步骤 201、通过 PA对输入的射频输入信号进行放大,并输出射频输出信 号, 该射频输出信号中的有用分量的能量与互调分量的能量之间的差值大于 预先设置的能量阈值; FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another method for transmitting a radio frequency signal according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method for transmitting a radio frequency signal in this embodiment may include the following steps: Step 201: Amplify the input RF input signal by the PA, and output a radio frequency output signal, where a difference between an energy of the useful component and an energy of the intermodulation component is greater than a preset energy threshold;
其中, 上述射频输入信号为经过配置有初始预失真参数的预失真系统校 正后的信号。  Wherein, the radio frequency input signal is a signal corrected by a predistortion system configured with an initial predistortion parameter.
本步骤中,通过预先配置了预失真系统的初始预失真参数,从而使得 PA 输出的射频输出信号中的互调分量可以满足互调能量指标要求, 即射频输出 信号中的有用分量的能量与互调分量的能量之间的差值大于预先设置的能量 阈值。  In this step, the initial predistortion parameters of the predistortion system are pre-configured, so that the intermodulation components in the RF output signal of the PA output can meet the requirements of the intermodulation energy index, that is, the energy and mutual energy of the useful components in the RF output signal. The difference between the energy of the component is greater than a preset energy threshold.
本步骤之前, 具体可以在生产装备阶段通过发射目标能量的射频输出功 率和对应的互调信号, 获得初始预失真参数。  Before this step, the initial predistortion parameters can be obtained by transmitting the RF output power of the target energy and the corresponding intermodulation signal in the production equipment phase.
步骤 202、 发射上述射频输出信号, 并耦合上述射频输出信号中的部分 回馈到上述预失真系统, 以便更新上述预失真系统的预失真参数。  Step 202: Transmit the radio frequency output signal, and couple a portion of the radio frequency output signal to the predistortion system to update a predistortion parameter of the predistortion system.
例如: 通过反馈通道, 耦合上述射频输出信号中的部分回馈到预失真系 统。  For example: A part of the above RF output signal is coupled to the pre-distortion system through the feedback channel.
可选地, 上述预失真系统可以为数字预失真 (Digital Pre Distortion, 简 称 DPD ) 系统。  Optionally, the foregoing predistortion system may be a Digital Pre Distortion (DPD) system.
可选地, 上述预失真系统还可以为模拟预失真(Analog Pre Distortion, 简称 APD ) 系统。  Optionally, the foregoing predistortion system may also be an Analog Pre Distortion (APD) system.
