Description

PIM对消方法和装置PIM cancellation method and device 技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及射频领域,尤其涉及一种PIM对消方法和装置。This application relates to the field of radio frequency, and in particular to a PIM cancellation method and device.
背景技术Background technique
在频分双工(frequency division duplexing,FDD)制式的多载波基站通信系统中,在多载波、大发射带宽场景下,天馈系统会因为坏件、螺钉松动、震动等原因产生无源互调(passive inter modulation,PIM)信号,当PIM信号落入接收信号的频段时,会与接收信号的频谱重合,影响接收通道的灵敏度,进而影响上行吞吐率。In a multi-carrier base station communication system of frequency division duplex (FDD) format, in a multi-carrier, large transmission bandwidth scenario, the antenna feeder system will generate passive intermodulation due to bad parts, loose screws, vibration, etc. (passive intermodulation, PIM) signal, when the PIM signal falls into the frequency band of the received signal, it will coincide with the spectrum of the received signal, affecting the sensitivity of the receiving channel, and thus affecting the upstream throughput rate.
如图1所示,是现有技术中单输入单天线PIM信号对消原理的示意图。在发射通道中,数字域的基带信号经过升速率和移频101得到数字中频信号,进行多载波合路,在通道级链路中,经过数模转换器(digital to analog converter,DAC)102,进入模拟发射通道103,然后经过发射滤波器104滤波后通过天线105发射至空间中。在接收通道中,接收信号通过天线105接收后经过接收滤波器106滤波,进入模拟域接收通道107,经过模数转换(analog to digital converter,ADC)108后再经过移频和降速率109,得到数字域的接收信号。As shown in FIG. 1, it is a schematic diagram of the principle of single input single antenna PIM signal cancellation in the prior art. In the transmit channel, the baseband signal in the digital domain passes through the rate of rise and frequency shift 101 to obtain a digital intermediate frequency signal, which is multi-carrier combined. In the channel-level link, it passes through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 102. It enters the analog transmission channel 103, and then is filtered by the transmission filter 104 and then transmitted to the space through the antenna 105. In the receiving channel, the received signal is filtered by the receiving filter 106 after receiving through the antenna 105, and enters the analog domain receiving channel 107, after analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) 108, and then through frequency shift and down rate 109, to obtain Received signal in the digital domain.
如果PIM故障点存在于中射频传导链路(即发射滤波器104/接收滤波器106与天线105之间)中,PIM对消器100从发射通道中获取数字中频信号并生成PIM对消信号,从接收通道中ADC 108之后获取含PIM接收信号,将含PIM接收信号与PIM对消信号进行相减,即可得到无PIM接收信号,以此实现对PIM对消。If the PIM fault point exists in the intermediate radio frequency conduction link (that is, between the transmission filter 104/reception filter 106 and the antenna 105), the PIM canceller 100 obtains the digital intermediate frequency signal from the transmission channel and generates a PIM cancellation signal, After receiving the PIM-containing received signal from ADC 108 in the receiving channel, and subtracting the PIM-containing received signal from the PIM canceled signal, the PIM-free received signal can be obtained to realize the PIM canceled.
但是随着通信技术的发展,发射通道和接收通道数逐渐增多,多入多出技术(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)天线系统成为主流。如图2所示,在多发射多接收通道场景下,存在多天线辐射式PIM信号,即PIM故障点不仅仅存在于中射频传导链路中,也可能存在于天线辐射范围的空间电磁场中。PIM故障点产生的非线性互调会被所有天线接收到,影响所有接收通道的灵敏度。However, with the development of communication technology, the number of transmitting channels and receiving channels has gradually increased, and multiple input multiple output (multiple input multiple output (MIMO)) antenna systems have become mainstream. As shown in Figure 2, in the scenario of multiple transmit and multiple receive channels, there are multiple antenna radiated PIM signals, that is, PIM failure points not only exist in the middle RF conductive link, but may also exist in the space electromagnetic field of the antenna radiation range. The nonlinear intermodulation generated at the PIM fault point will be received by all antennas, affecting the sensitivity of all receiving channels.
此时,通过如图1所示的单输入单天线PIM对消原理无法对多天线辐射式PIM信号进行对消。At this time, the multi-antenna radiated PIM signal cannot be cancelled by the single input single antenna PIM cancellation principle shown in FIG. 1.

具体实施方式detailed description
本申请实施例提供的PIM对消装置和方法,可以应用于不同的通信系统,例如,可以应用于FDD制式的多载波基站通信系统中,根据该通信系统所采用的通信协议的不同,例如第四代(4th generation,4G)通信协议、第五代(5th generation,5G)通信协议等,该PIM对消装置可以指基站、演进节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、gNB等,本申请不作限定。The PIM cancellation device and method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to different communication systems, for example, can be applied to a multi-carrier base station communication system of FDD format. According to the different communication protocols adopted by the communication system, for example, the first 4th generation (4G) communication protocol, 5th generation (5G) communication protocol, etc. The PIM cancellation device can refer to base station, evolved node B (evolved node B, eNB), gNB, etc. limited.
本申请实施例提供的PIM对消装置和方法,可用于多发射多接收通道场景,获取M个发射通道的数字中频信号,M为大于1的整数。并根据M个发射通道的数字中频信号得到N个PIM对消信号,N为大于1的整数。在根据M个数字中频通道的数字中频信号得到N个PIM对消信号的过程中,对M个发射通道的数字中频信号先后经过滤波、线性叠加和非线性处理。获取N个接收通道的包含PIM信号的接收信号。并将N个接收信号与N个PIM对消信号分别作差得到N个对消结果信号,对消结果信号表示接收信号与PIM对消信号之间的误差。通过不断调节滤波的滤波系数以及非线性处理的系数,使该误差的均方逐渐降低。随着时间的增加,滤波的滤波系数以及非线性处理的系数趋于稳定,误差的均方趋于最小,滤波的滤波系数以及非线性处理的系数收敛,此时的对消结果信号即为无PIM接收信号或包含少量PIM信号的接收信号。The PIM cancellation device and method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be used in a scenario of multiple transmission and multiple reception channels to obtain digital intermediate frequency signals of M transmission channels, where M is an integer greater than 1. According to the digital intermediate frequency signals of the M transmission channels, N PIM cancellation signals are obtained, and N is an integer greater than 1. In the process of obtaining N PIM cancellation signals based on the digital intermediate frequency signals of the M digital intermediate frequency channels, the digital intermediate frequency signals of the M transmission channels are successively filtered, linearly superimposed, and nonlinearly processed. Obtain received signals containing PIM signals from N receiving channels. The N received signals and the N PIM cancellation signals are respectively differentiated to obtain N cancellation result signals. The cancellation result signal represents the error between the received signal and the PIM cancellation signal. By continuously adjusting the filter coefficients of the filter and the coefficients of nonlinear processing, the mean square of the error is gradually reduced. With the increase of time, the filtered filter coefficients and nonlinear processing coefficients tend to be stable, the mean square of the error tends to be minimum, the filtered filter coefficients and nonlinear processing coefficients converge, and the cancellation result signal at this time is no PIM received signals or received signals containing a small amount of PIM signals.
本申请实施例提供的PIM对消装置和方法,不仅可以应用于如图2所示的多天线 辐射式PIM的场景、如图3所示的多天线传导式PIM场景,还可以应用于如图4所示的多天线传导多天线辐射复合式PIM场景。The PIM cancellation device and method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied not only to the multi-antenna radiating PIM scenario shown in FIG. 2 and the multi-antenna conductive PIM scenario shown in FIG. 3, but also to the 4 shows a multi-antenna conduction multi-antenna radiation compound PIM scenario.
多天线辐射式PIM场景是指:PIM信号产生于天线阵列内部或外部等周围的空间场中,通过电磁波的形式进行多路混合、PIM信号激发以及PIM信号传导。The multi-antenna radiated PIM scene refers to: PIM signals are generated in the surrounding space field inside or outside the antenna array, and are subjected to multiplexing, PIM signal excitation, and PIM signal conduction in the form of electromagnetic waves.
在多天线系统中,发射通道的数字中频信号通过天线发射到空间场中,在空间场某处若存在PIM故障点,则激发多天线辐射式PIM信号。In a multi-antenna system, the digital intermediate frequency signal of the transmission channel is transmitted into the space field through the antenna. If there is a PIM fault somewhere in the space field, the multi-antenna radiated PIM signal is excited.
多天线传导式PIM场景是指:PIM信号产生于天线空口之前的发射传导路径中或天线空口之后的接收传导路径中某处,与多天线辐射式PIM场景不同,多天线传导式PIM信号的产生与传输依赖于实际存在的传输路径,因此,多天线传导式PIM信号多存在于发射滤波器、接收滤波器以及互联接头焊点锈蚀某处。The multi-antenna conduction PIM scenario refers to: the PIM signal is generated in the transmission conduction path before the antenna air interface or somewhere in the reception conduction path after the antenna air interface. Unlike the multi-antenna radiating PIM scenario, the multi-antenna conductive PIM signal generation And transmission depends on the actual transmission path, therefore, the multi-antenna conductive PIM signal is mostly present in the transmission filter, the reception filter and the welding joints of the interconnection joints are corroded somewhere.
根据实际物理特性,多天线传导式PIM信号通常仅与单发射通道的数字中频信号有关,此时采用传统PIM对消器进行线性叠加是可以实现对消的。但考虑到多天线系统中,各个发射通道中隔离度较差,多天线传导式PIM信号会相互泄露到各个发射通道间,形成多天线传导式PIM信号。此时,传统PIM对消器性能会受到极大影响。According to the actual physical characteristics, the multi-antenna conductive PIM signal is usually only related to the digital intermediate frequency signal of a single transmission channel. At this time, the linear superposition using the traditional PIM canceller can achieve cancellation. However, considering that in a multi-antenna system, the isolation in each transmission channel is poor, the multi-antenna conductive PIM signals will leak to each other between the transmission channels, forming a multi-antenna conductive PIM signal. At this time, the performance of the traditional PIM canceller will be greatly affected.
多天线传导多天线辐射式PIM场景是多天线辐射式PIM场景和多天线传导式PIM场景的叠加,此处不再赘述。The multi-antenna conduction multi-antenna radiating PIM scenario is a superposition of the multi-antenna radiating PIM scenario and the multi-antenna conducting PIM scenario, which will not be repeated here.
首先,对中射频链路中单发射单接收通道场景中的PIM对消原理进行说明。First, the PIM cancellation principle in the scenario of a single-transmission and single-reception channel in a medium-frequency radio link will be described.
基于射频通信理论,单发射单接收通道场景中,单一频段的基带信号经过移频,得到的一个发射通道的数字中频信号为:Based on the theory of radio frequency communication, in the scenario of single transmission and single reception channel, the baseband signal of a single frequency band undergoes frequency shift, and the digital intermediate frequency signal of a transmission channel is:

其中,ch为PIM信号中的非线性成分各项的系数,P为最大非线性阶数,0≤p≤P。Among them, ch is the coefficient of each nonlinear component in the PIM signal, P is the maximum nonlinear order, 0≤p≤P.
由于射频系统为记忆系统,所以在公式3中加入记忆特性,得到NL(|x(n)|)函数的记忆非线性表达式为:Since the radio frequency system is a memory system, the memory characteristic is added to Equation 3, and the memory nonlinear expression of the NL(|x(n)|) function is obtained as:

将公式4代入公式2,可以得到数字中频信号Tx对应的PIM信号的表达式为:Substituting Equation 4 into Equation 2, the expression of the PIM signal corresponding to the digital intermediate frequency signal Tx can be obtained as:

公式6中涉及到的系数ch,通常可以采用最小均方(least mean squares,LMS)算法进行求解,采用LMS算法对公式6中的系数ch求解的表达式为:The coefficient ch involved in formula 6 can usually be solved using the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm. The expression for solving the coefficient ch in formula 6 using the LMS algorithm is:

其中,μ为计算系数ch时迭代过程的步长因子,conj()为取共轭运算符。Among them, μ is the step factor of the iterative process when calculating the coefficient ch, and conj() is the conjugate operator.
在上述单发射单接收通道场景中,由于PIM信号仅产生于射频传输链路中,各个发射通道间信号不存在泄露或辐射等因素,因此PIM信号通常由单一独立的发射通道激发,发射通道之间不存在相互影响和耦合的现象。但是在多发射多接收通道场景中,PIM信号将可能会产生于天线空口处或天线近、远场空间某处,即形成多天线辐射式PIM信号。这种PIM信号由多个发射通道的数字中频信号通过空间电磁场形式共同激发,并且会同时影响多个接收通道的接收信号,上述单发射单接收通道的PIM对消原理已经不再适用。原因在于多发射通道的合路关系未知,无法使用公式2或3得到多发射多接收通道场景下PIM信号,因此无法实现PIM对消。In the above single-transmission and single-reception channel scenario, because the PIM signal is only generated in the RF transmission link, there is no leakage or radiation between the transmission channels. Therefore, the PIM signal is usually excited by a single independent transmission channel. There is no mutual influence and coupling. However, in the scenario of multiple transmit and multiple receive channels, the PIM signal may be generated at the antenna air interface or somewhere near the antenna or far-field space, that is, a multi-antenna radiated PIM signal is formed. This PIM signal is jointly excited by the digital intermediate frequency signals of multiple transmission channels in the form of a spatial electromagnetic field, and will affect the reception signals of multiple reception channels at the same time. The above-mentioned single-transmission single-reception channel PIM cancellation principle is no longer applicable. The reason is that the combination relationship of the multi-transmission channels is unknown, and the PIM signal in the scenario of multi-transmission and multi-reception channels cannot be obtained using Equation 2 or 3, so PIM cancellation cannot be achieved.
下面描述在多发射多接收通道场景下,如何获取多个发射通道的合路关系,以及如何得到对应的多天线辐射式PIM信号。The following describes how to obtain the combined relationship of multiple transmit channels and how to obtain the corresponding multi-antenna radiated PIM signal in the scenario of multiple transmit and multiple receive channels.
假设多天线辐射式PIM信号的非线性成分的函数表达式为NL(u_0,u_1...,u_Z),则有:Assuming that the function expression of the nonlinear component of the multi-antenna radiated PIM signal is NL(u_0,u_1...,u_Z), then:

其中,u_z为第z个发射通道的基带信号x的合路前信号,ch m,z为第z个发射通道的合路关系数学模型的系数,M为第z个发射通道中系数的个数,0≤z≤Z,0≤m≤M,n为时间变量。 Where u_z is the pre-combination signal of the baseband signal x of the z-th transmission channel, ch m, z are the coefficients of the mathematical model of the combination relationship of the z-th transmission channel, and M is the number of coefficients in the z-th transmission channel , 0≤z≤Z, 0≤m≤M, n is a time variable.
为了描述简单,以两个发射通道为例:For simplicity of description, take two transmit channels as an example:
Figure PCTCN2018123617-appb-000008
Figure PCTCN2018123617-appb-000008
Figure PCTCN2018123617-appb-000009

其中,u_0为第0发射通道的基带信号x的合路前信号,u_1为第1发射通道的基带信号x的合路前信号。Where u_0 is the pre-combination signal of the baseband signal x of the 0th transmission channel, and u_1 is the pre-combination signal of the baseband signal x of the first transmission channel.
假设两个发射通道的合路方式为线性相加,则根据公式2得到多发射多接收通道 中的多天线辐射式PIM信号的任意阶非线性表达式为:Assuming that the combination of the two transmission channels is linear addition, the arbitrary order non-linear expression of the multi-antenna radiated PIM signal in the multi-transmit and multi-receive channels according to Equation 2 is:
y=(u_0+u_1)·NL(|u_0+u_1|)             公式11y=(u_0+u_1)·NL(|u_0+u_1|) Formula 11
从u_0+u_1可以看出,PIM信号表达式中从原来的一个发射通道的数字中频信号x变成了两个发射通道的数字中频信号的混合信号u_0+u_1,即两个发射通道的数字中频信号进行了线性叠加。另外,从NL(|u_0+u_1|)可以看出,两个发射通道的数字中频信号经过线性叠加后,产生非线性分量。As can be seen from u_0+u_1, the PIM signal expression has changed from the original digital IF signal x of one transmission channel to a mixed signal u_0+u_1 of two transmission channel digital IF signals, that is, the digital IF of the two transmission channels The signals are linearly superimposed. In addition, as can be seen from NL(|u_0+u_1|), the digital intermediate frequency signals of the two transmission channels undergo a linear superposition to produce a nonlinear component.
进一步地,为了对接收通道以及接收滤波器引入的群时延特性进行补偿,可以在公式11基础上,再对每个发射通道的非线性信号进行一次线性处理,表达式为:Further, in order to compensate for the group delay characteristics introduced by the receiving channel and the receiving filter, a linear processing can be performed on the nonlinear signal of each transmitting channel once again based on Equation 11, the expression is:
