Description

一种自动增益控制方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信领域, 尤其涉及一种自动增益控制方法及装置。 背景技术

现有增益控制方法及其局限性: 现有的自动增益控制 ( Automatic Gain Control, AGC ) 方法分为模拟 AGC和数字 AGC两种, 只能处理恒包络信 号, 对于突发信号存在延时性及控制误差较大的问题。 主要原理如下: (1 ) 模拟 AGC, 检波器检测功率送至比较器, 如果低于门限值则不触发, 高于 门限值时, 输出一个模拟电压至 PIN型二极管, 修改增益, 进而影响输出 至后级的功率。 此方法 AGC环路响应速度较快, 但是存在检测误差, 因为 某一时刻的控制增益由模拟电压决定, 此电压控制的即时衰减无法精确衡 量, 无法保证输出的 IQ信号的幅度稳定。 (2 )数字 AGC, 检波器检测功 率送至比较器, 如果低于门限值则不触发, 高于门限值时, 输出一组数字 信号至数控衰减器, 此方法的优点在于控制方法灵活, 可以动态设置衰减 值, 但是此方法的缺点在于 AGC环路的响应时间较慢, 检波器检测到的模 拟量转换为数字量后需要在数字信号处理部分比较后再通过串行外设接口 (Serial Peripheral Interface, SPI)等数字方法再送至衰减器, 不能保证响应 时间。 发明内容
