改善射频功率放大器线性度的装置Device for Improving Linearity of Radio Frequency Power Amplifier

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及无线通信技术中的射频功率放大器线性化技术,具体涉及射频功率放大器的前馈线性化技术,具体说,是一种改善射频功率放大器线性度的装置。The invention relates to a radio frequency power amplifier linearization technology in wireless communication technology, in particular to a feedforward linearization technology of a radio frequency power amplifier, specifically a device for improving the linearity of a radio frequency power amplifier.

背景技术Background technique

随着无线通信技术的发展,涌现出越来越多先进的通信标准,如WCDMA,TD-SCDMA,WIMAX,LTE等等,采用频谱利用率高的多载波技术和复杂的数字调制方式,如3G通信的WCDMA制式下行传输采用QPSK调制技术,LTE采用OFDM调制技术。但是这种方式导致基带信号具有很宽的带宽和很高的峰均比,这给功放的设计带来了更为严峻的挑战。在功放设计中,效率和线性是必须考虑的两个关键因素。在高峰均比的信号时,功放需要工作在功率回退区域,导致功放的效率大为降低。当功放工作在饱和区域时,效率提高了,但是出现了严重的失真,主要表现为AM-AM/AM-PM失真,导致信号频谱扩展。同时,信号带宽的增加,功放的记忆效应增强,这些都为功放的设计以及线性化提出了新的挑战。With the development of wireless communication technology, more and more advanced communication standards have emerged, such as WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, WIMAX, LTE, etc., using multi-carrier technology with high spectrum utilization and complex digital modulation methods, such as 3G The downlink transmission of WCDMA standard of communication adopts QPSK modulation technology, and LTE adopts OFDM modulation technology. However, this method leads to a wide bandwidth and a high peak-to-average ratio of the baseband signal, which brings more serious challenges to the design of the power amplifier. In power amplifier design, efficiency and linearity are two key factors that must be considered. For signals with a peak-to-average ratio, the power amplifier needs to work in the power backoff area, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the power amplifier. When the power amplifier works in the saturation region, the efficiency is improved, but severe distortion occurs, mainly manifested as AM-AM/AM-PM distortion, which leads to signal spectrum expansion. At the same time, the increase of the signal bandwidth and the enhancement of the memory effect of the power amplifier have brought new challenges to the design and linearization of the power amplifier.

目前功放线性化方法主要有4种:回退法,负反馈法、预失真法和前馈法。回退法是将功放工作在回退区,其实质是牺牲功放的效率来提高功放的线性度。回退法简单且易实现,但是功放的效率明显降低,而且功放的记忆效应是无法通过功率回退避免的,所以必须把功率回退法与其他线性化技术结合使用。负反馈法是一种出现较早的线性化方法,由于在射频情况下很难保证系统的稳定性,一般不直接采用射频反馈,而是采用调制反馈技术使系统工作在低频状态。常用的调制反馈技术有包络负反馈,极坐标调制负反馈和笛卡尔调制负反馈。负反馈法的优点是结构简单,同时互调干扰的抑制效果较好。但是负反馈法是闭环系统,放大器的增益必须满足足够大,以实现高增益和高失真抑制,同时环路延迟是负反馈的主要限制因素,在高频段,环路延迟可达到几个载波周期,这就制约了线性化器的工作带宽。另外,负反馈法还存在稳定性问题。所以负反馈法适用于单载波、单信道情况,适用于手机中的功放。预失真技术,就是在信号在通过功放进行放大之前通过预失真器模拟功放的逆特性,这样整个系统表现线性。根据预失真器处理信号的不同可将预失真技术分为模拟预失真和数字预失真。模拟预失真技术通常采用模拟电路实现预失真器,具有实现简单、成本低廉、无条件稳定和易于高频宽带应用等优势,但是对频谱再生分量抑制较少,线性改善易受工作状态和环境的影响,高阶频谱分量抵消较困难。数字预失真技术有两种实现方式,一种是通过非线性射频功放的参数模型实现,另一种通过查找表实现。数字预失真具有实现简单,易于信号处理,可获得较宽的带宽,线性化效果好等优点,但是数字预失真的建模需要至少5倍的基带信号带宽,预失真的效果与功放的模型有直接关系,而且数字预失真的硬件实现也相对复杂。前馈技术的基本思想是将主功放产生的失真信号样本向前反馈到放大器输出端,从而使得放大器输出端的失真信号得到极大的对消。At present, there are four main methods of power amplifier linearization: back-off method, negative feedback method, pre-distortion method and feed-forward method. The fallback method is to make the power amplifier work in the fallback area, and its essence is to sacrifice the efficiency of the power amplifier to improve the linearity of the power amplifier. The back-off method is simple and easy to implement, but the efficiency of the power amplifier is significantly reduced, and the memory effect of the power amplifier cannot be avoided through power back-off, so the power back-off method must be used in combination with other linearization techniques. The negative feedback method is an earlier linearization method. Because it is difficult to ensure the stability of the system in the case of radio frequency, the radio frequency feedback is generally not directly used, but the modulation feedback technology is used to make the system work in a low frequency state. The commonly used modulation feedback techniques include envelope negative feedback, polar coordinate modulation negative feedback and Cartesian modulation negative feedback. The advantage of the negative feedback method is that the structure is simple, and the suppression effect of the intermodulation interference is better at the same time. However, the negative feedback method is a closed-loop system, and the gain of the amplifier must be large enough to achieve high gain and high distortion suppression. At the same time, the loop delay is the main limiting factor for negative feedback. In the high frequency band, the loop delay can reach several carrier cycles. , which limits the operating bandwidth of the linearizer. In addition, the negative feedback method also has stability problems. Therefore, the negative feedback method is suitable for single-carrier and single-channel situations, and is suitable for power amplifiers in mobile phones. The pre-distortion technology is to simulate the inverse characteristics of the power amplifier through the pre-distorter before the signal is amplified by the power amplifier, so that the entire system behaves linearly. Predistortion technology can be divided into analog predistortion and digital predistortion according to the different signals processed by the predistorter. Analog predistortion technology usually uses analog circuits to realize the predistorter, which has the advantages of simple implementation, low cost, unconditional stability, and easy high-frequency and broadband applications, but it has less suppression of spectrum regeneration components, and linearity improvement is easily affected by working conditions and the environment. , it is more difficult to cancel the high-order spectral components. There are two ways to realize the digital predistortion technology, one is realized through the parameter model of the nonlinear radio frequency power amplifier, and the other is realized through the look-up table. Digital predistortion has the advantages of simple implementation, easy signal processing, wide bandwidth, and good linearization effect. However, the modeling of digital predistortion requires at least 5 times the bandwidth of the baseband signal. The effect of predistortion is different from that of the power amplifier model. Direct relationship, and the hardware implementation of digital pre-distortion is relatively complicated. The basic idea of the feed-forward technology is to feed back the distorted signal samples generated by the main power amplifier to the output of the amplifier, so that the distorted signal at the output of the amplifier is greatly cancelled.

如图1为传统前馈技术的一般简化系统框图。传统前馈系统包含两个环路,分别为基波抵消环路和误差抵消环路。射频输入信号经过功分器分为两路信号,一路经过主功放MPA、耦合器C1、衰减器A1、移相器P1、耦合器C2,另一路经过延迟线L1、耦合器C2,这两路信号构成了基波抵消环路。延迟线的作用是保证基波抵消环路的上下两路信号延迟对准。经耦合器C1直通端输出的信号经过延迟线到达功合器,经耦合器C2直通端输出的信号经过衰减器A2、移相器P2、副功放DPA到达功合器,这两路信号构成了误差抵消环路。同样误差抵消环路的延迟线L2用于保证上下两路信号的延迟对准。基波抵消环路用于抵消主功放MPA输出的基波成分,产生误差信号。误差抵消环路主要是对误差信号调整,保证误差信号与主功放MPA输出的信号幅值相等相位相反,这样经过功合器把误差信号馈入主路信号,抵消主路信号的失真成分。从图1可以看出传统前馈技术的实现结构复杂,而且对信号的调整难度大,同时随着工作条件和工作环境的变化,前馈环路的幅度和相位会发生变化,线性化效果会明显下降。Figure 1 is a general simplified system block diagram of traditional feedforward technology. The traditional feedforward system contains two loops, which are the fundamental cancellation loop and the error cancellation loop. The RF input signal is divided into two channels through the power splitter, one channel passes through the main power amplifier MPA, coupler C1, attenuator A1, phase shifter P1, and coupler C2, and the other channel passes through the delay line L1 and coupler C2. The signal forms the fundamental cancellation loop. The function of the delay line is to ensure the delay alignment of the upper and lower signals of the fundamental cancellation loop. The signal output through the through end of coupler C1 reaches the power combiner through the delay line, and the signal output through the through end of coupler C2 reaches the power combiner through the attenuator A2, phase shifter P2, and auxiliary power amplifier DPA. These two signals constitute Error Cancellation Loop. Similarly, the delay line L2 of the error cancellation loop is used to ensure the delay alignment of the upper and lower signals. The fundamental wave cancellation loop is used to cancel the fundamental wave component output by the main power amplifier MPA to generate an error signal. The error cancellation loop is mainly to adjust the error signal to ensure that the error signal and the signal output by the main power amplifier MPA are equal in amplitude and opposite in phase, so that the error signal is fed into the main channel signal through the power combiner to cancel the distortion component of the main channel signal. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the implementation structure of traditional feedforward technology is complex, and it is difficult to adjust the signal. At the same time, with the change of working conditions and working environment, the amplitude and phase of the feedforward loop will change, and the linearization effect will change. Significantly decreased.

The input end of the power divider (201) is connected to the through end of the coupler (100), one output end is connected to the attenuator (202), the other output end is connected to the error signal generating unit (204), and the output end of the attenuator (202) The input end of the delay line (203) is connected, the output end of the delay line (203) is connected to an input end of the power combiner (207), the output end of the error signal generating unit (204) is connected to the coupler (205), and the coupler ( The straight-through end of 205) is connected to the radio frequency input end of the vector modulator (205), the coupling end is connected to the error signal adjustment circuit (500), the control end of the vector modulator (205) is connected to the output end of the adaptive control circuit (900), and the output The terminal is connected to an input terminal of the power combiner (207), and the output terminal of the power combiner (207) is connected to the input terminal of the main power amplifier (300). As shown in Figure 3, the radio frequency signal is divided into upper and lower signals through the power splitter (201), and the uplink signal reaches the power combiner (207) through the attenuator (202) and delay line (203), retaining the characteristics of the original input signal, called It is the main road. The main path passes through a delay line (203) to ensure delay alignment with the downlink signal. The downlink signal reaches the power combiner (207) through the error signal generating unit (204), the coupler (205), and the vector modulator (206). The analog predistorter outputs two signals, one is the error signal output by the coupling end of the coupler (205), which is used as the input signal of the error signal adjustment circuit (500), and the other is the output predistortion signal through the power combiner (206). , as the input signal of the main power amplifier (300).

在该模拟预失真器的设计中,使用矢量调制器代替了传统的可变衰减器与移相器的级联组合。采用传统的衰减器和移相器级联形式存在一个缺陷,当衰减器和移相器的控制信号变化时,会带来群时延的改变,严重影响预失真的性能。同时衰减器和移相器的调整会相互影响,很难对预失真进行精确控制。而矢量调制器不仅可以独立控制信号的幅度和相位,而且可以接受自适应控制电路的控制信号,自适应控制模拟预失真器的性能。In the design of the analog predistorter, a vector modulator is used to replace the traditional cascaded combination of a variable attenuator and a phase shifter. There is a defect in the cascaded form of the traditional attenuator and phase shifter. When the control signal of the attenuator and phase shifter changes, it will bring about a change in group delay, which seriously affects the performance of the predistortion. At the same time, the adjustment of the attenuator and the phase shifter will affect each other, and it is difficult to precisely control the pre-distortion. The vector modulator can not only independently control the amplitude and phase of the signal, but also accept the control signal of the adaptive control circuit to adaptively control the performance of the analog predistorter.

3误差信号调整电路3 Error signal adjustment circuit

如图3,误差信号调整电路包括误差放大器(501)、矢量调制器(501)和副功放(503)。误差放大器(501)输入端连接耦合器(205)的耦合端,输出端连接矢量调制器(502)的射频输入端,矢量调制器(502)的控制端连接自适应控制电路(900)的输出端口,输出端连接副功放(503)的输入端,副功放(503)的输出端连接功合器(600)的一个输入端。误差放大器(501)是线性放大器,把小信号误差信号线性放大,便于矢量调制器(502)的调整。矢量调制器(502)根据自适应控制电路(900)的控制信号,调整误差信号的幅度和相位。副功放把误差信号的功率提高到所需的要求。该误差信号调整模块的功能是调整误差信号,保证误差信号与误差抵消环路的主路信号的幅值相等相位相反。As shown in Fig. 3, the error signal adjustment circuit includes an error amplifier (501), a vector modulator (501) and a sub power amplifier (503). The input end of the error amplifier (501) is connected to the coupling end of the coupler (205), the output end is connected to the radio frequency input end of the vector modulator (502), and the control end of the vector modulator (502) is connected to the output of the adaptive control circuit (900). port, the output end is connected to the input end of the auxiliary power amplifier (503), and the output end of the auxiliary power amplifier (503) is connected to an input end of the power combiner (600). The error amplifier (501) is a linear amplifier, which linearly amplifies the small-signal error signal to facilitate the adjustment of the vector modulator (502). The vector modulator (502) adjusts the amplitude and phase of the error signal according to the control signal of the adaptive control circuit (900). The secondary amplifier boosts the power of the error signal to the required level. The function of the error signal adjustment module is to adjust the error signal to ensure that the amplitude of the error signal is equal to that of the main signal of the error cancellation loop and the phase is opposite.

这里同样使用矢量调制器代替了传统的可变衰减器与移相器的级联组合,便于接受自适应控制电路的控制信号,自适应调整误差信号。Here, the vector modulator is also used instead of the traditional cascaded combination of variable attenuator and phase shifter, which is convenient for receiving the control signal of the adaptive control circuit and adaptively adjusting the error signal.

4主功放4 main amplifier

主功放(300)的输入端连接模拟预失真器(200)的射频输出,而输出端连接延迟线(400)的输入端。主功放(300)是前馈系统的主要元件,也是待线性化的元件。为了提高功放的效率,主功放(300)工作于饱和区,必然产生失真分量。The input end of the main power amplifier (300) is connected to the radio frequency output of the analog predistorter (200), and the output end is connected to the input end of the delay line (400). The main power amplifier (300) is the main component of the feedforward system and also the component to be linearized. In order to improve the efficiency of the power amplifier, the main power amplifier (300) works in the saturation region, which inevitably produces distortion components.

5误差抵消环路5 Error Cancellation Loop

误差抵消环路,由模拟预失真器(200),主功放(300),延迟线(400),误差信号调整电路(500),功合器(600)构成。模拟预失真器(200)中功合器(207)的输出端连接主功放(300)的输入端,模拟预失真器中耦合器(205)的耦合端连接误差信号调整电路(500)的的输入端,主功放(300)的输出端连接延迟线(400)的输入端,延迟线(400)的输出端连接功合器(600)的一个输入端,误差调整电路(500)的输出端连接功合器的另一个输入端,功合器(600)的输出端连接耦合器(700)的输入端。The error cancellation loop is composed of an analog predistorter (200), a main power amplifier (300), a delay line (400), an error signal adjustment circuit (500), and a power combiner (600). The output end of the power combiner (207) in the analog predistorter (200) is connected to the input end of the main power amplifier (300), and the coupling end of the coupler (205) in the analog predistorter is connected to the error signal adjustment circuit (500). The input terminal, the output terminal of the main power amplifier (300) is connected to the input terminal of the delay line (400), the output terminal of the delay line (400) is connected to an input terminal of the power combiner (600), and the output terminal of the error adjustment circuit (500) The other input end of the power combiner is connected, and the output end of the power combiner (600) is connected with the input end of the coupler (700).

从模拟预失真器(200)输出的预失真信号经过主功放(300)、延迟线(400)到达功合器(600)的一个输入端,构成主路。从模拟预失真器(200)输出的误差信号经过误差信号调整电路(500),通过功合器(600)馈入主路信号,抵消主路信号的失真分量。为了保证上下两路信号延迟对准,设计了延迟线(400)。The predistortion signal output from the analog predistorter (200) reaches an input terminal of the power combiner (600) through the main power amplifier (300) and the delay line (400), forming a main circuit. The error signal output from the analog predistorter (200) passes through the error signal adjustment circuit (500), and is fed into the main channel signal through the power combiner (600), so as to cancel the distortion component of the main channel signal. In order to ensure the delay alignment of the upper and lower signals, a delay line (400) is designed.

6自适应控制电路6 adaptive control circuit

前馈放大器对失真信号的抑制效果受幅度、相位和延迟的影响十分敏感。功率放大器的功率增益随环境温度和载波频率的变化而变化。而且,前馈系统要求两路信号的幅度、相位和延迟完全匹配才能将主路信号中的失真分量完全抵消,系统的敏感度很高。所以需要对前馈系统进行自适应控制,实时地修正系统参数以保证功率放大器的输出信号具有良好的线性度。Feedforward amplifiers are sensitive to amplitude, phase, and delay in suppressing distorted signals. The power gain of a power amplifier varies with ambient temperature and carrier frequency. Moreover, the feedforward system requires that the amplitude, phase, and delay of the two signals be completely matched to completely cancel the distortion component in the main signal, and the system is highly sensitive. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out adaptive control on the feedforward system and correct the system parameters in real time to ensure that the output signal of the power amplifier has good linearity.

如图5,自适应控制电路(900),包括下变频(901),抗混叠滤波器(902),ADC(903),DSP(904),DAC(905),重构滤波器(906),时钟管理(907)。下变频(901)的两个输入端连接射频信号采集电路的输出端,输出端连接抗混叠滤波器(902),抗混叠滤波器(902)的输出端连接ADC(903)的输入端,ADC(903)的输出端连接DSP(904)的输入端,DSP(904)的输出端连接DAC(905)的输入端,DAC(905)的输出端连接重构滤波器(906)的输入端,重构滤波器(906)的输出端连接矢量调制器(205)的控制端和矢量调制器(502)的控制端,时钟管理(907)的时钟输出分别连接ADC(903)、DSP(904)、DAC(905)的时钟引脚。As shown in Figure 5, the adaptive control circuit (900), including frequency down conversion (901), anti-aliasing filter (902), ADC (903), DSP (904), DAC (905), reconstruction filter (906) , Clock Management (907). The two input ends of the down-conversion (901) are connected to the output end of the radio frequency signal acquisition circuit, the output end is connected to the anti-aliasing filter (902), and the output end of the anti-aliasing filter (902) is connected to the input end of the ADC (903) , the output of the ADC (903) is connected to the input of the DSP (904), the output of the DSP (904) is connected to the input of the DAC (905), and the output of the DAC (905) is connected to the input of the reconstruction filter (906) terminal, the output terminal of the reconstruction filter (906) is connected to the control terminal of the vector modulator (205) and the control terminal of the vector modulator (502), and the clock output of the clock management (907) is respectively connected to the ADC (903), DSP ( 904), clock pin of DAC (905).

下变频(901)将射频信号的频谱搬移到中频信号。射频信号经过下变频会出现许多其他频率成分,一方面滤除无用频率成分,另一方面便于ADC(903)采样满足低通采样,下变频之后级联抗混叠滤波器(902)。抗混叠滤波器(902)的截止频率要满足低通采样的要求,同时带内增益平坦度要满足一定的要求,相位满足线性相位。ADC(903)和DAC(905)的器件选取需综合考虑位宽、采样率和成本。该前馈系统的中频信号的中心频率一般在30MHz左右,在满足低通采样的要求下尽量提高采样率,这里可以选取采样率是中频的5-7倍,即ADC(903)和DAC(905)的采样率至少为150MSPS。考虑运算精度、量化噪声和成本,这里可以选取位宽至少12bit的器件。为了便于控制两路信号,同时满足数据同步,选取双通道的器件。重构叠滤波器(906)的设计同样首先需要满足低通采样的要求,截止频率一般设计为DAC(905)采样率的一半。经重构滤波器(906)输出的控制信号和分别控制模拟预失真器(200)和误差信号调整单元。Frequency down conversion (901) moves the frequency spectrum of the radio frequency signal to the intermediate frequency signal. After the radio frequency signal is down-converted, many other frequency components will appear. On the one hand, useless frequency components are filtered out; The cut-off frequency of the anti-aliasing filter (902) should meet the requirements of low-pass sampling, and at the same time, the flatness of gain in the band should meet certain requirements, and the phase should meet the linear phase. The device selection of ADC (903) and DAC (905) needs to comprehensively consider bit width, sampling rate and cost. The center frequency of the intermediate frequency signal of the feedforward system is generally around 30MHz, and the sampling rate should be increased as much as possible to meet the requirements of low-pass sampling. Here, the sampling rate can be selected to be 5-7 times the intermediate frequency, that is, ADC (903) and DAC (905 ) with a sampling rate of at least 150MSPS. Considering the operation precision, quantization noise and cost, a device with a bit width of at least 12 bits can be selected here. In order to facilitate the control of two-way signals and satisfy data synchronization at the same time, a dual-channel device is selected. The design of the reconstruction stack filter (906) also first needs to meet the requirements of low-pass sampling, and the cutoff frequency is generally designed to be half of the sampling rate of the DAC (905). The control signal output by the reconstruction filter (906) respectively controls the analog predistorter (200) and the error signal adjustment unit.

DSP(904)是自适应控制电路的核心部分,完成所有的信号处理。DSP首先把ADC采样的中频信号经过数字下变频,转化为数字基带信号。由于输入数据和输出数据不同步,需要通过相关等方法对数据延迟对准。经过对齐的输入输出数据,根据自适应算法,完成信号的处理,输出控制信号。由于矢量调制器实际中并不理想,IQ数据并不是90°正交,所以需要在DSP中补偿IQ不平衡。由于信号将经过DAC、重构滤波器和一些模拟线路,必然产生线性失真,所以需要对输出信道进行信道均衡。通过分析可以得到DSP具体的信号处理流程如图6。DSP (904) is the core part of the adaptive control circuit and completes all signal processing. DSP first converts the intermediate frequency signal sampled by the ADC into a digital baseband signal through digital down-conversion. Since the input data and the output data are not synchronized, it is necessary to align the data delay by correlation and other methods. After the aligned input and output data, according to the adaptive algorithm, the signal processing is completed and the control signal is output. Because the vector modulator is not ideal in practice, the IQ data is not 90° quadrature, so it is necessary to compensate the IQ imbalance in the DSP. Since the signal will pass through DAC, reconstruction filter and some analog circuits, linear distortion will inevitably occur, so channel equalization is required for the output channel. Through analysis, the specific signal processing flow of DSP can be obtained as shown in Figure 6.
