Average power detection circuit 105
Average power detection circuit 105, can be the average power detection circuit using RMS rectifier, it can be used Detected in the signal power of random waveform, RMS rectifier is the output voltage response device unrelated with waveform input signal. In the embodiment of the present application, average power detection circuit 105 is used to be detected coupled signal, to obtain analog voltage letter Number.
Since the frame structure features of WIFI signal determine, it is necessary to gain is locked within the leading very short time and is kept not Become, general requirement is practiced complete in the 1us times of domain (Legacy Short Training Field, L-STF) part in Legacy Into whole process.And the duration of average power detection and precision will directly determine the total time of this AGC.In addition, by In WIFI signal using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) Modulation system so that peak-to-average force ratio is very high, if by the way of peak value or log power detection, can cause the voltage letter of output Number change as the peak value of input radio frequency signal is different, can not prepare to detect actual power.Directly affect and sentence below Disconnected and controlling mechanism realization.
Using the size that is delayed as leading indicator when average power detection circuit 105 designs, using accuracy and dynamic range as Secondary index.The size of delay is to directly affect the key index that can whole AGC frameworks meet the requirements.Meeting that delay is smaller Index under consider dynamic range and accuracy index, dynamic range is bigger, and the sensitivity of detection is higher;Accuracy is higher, The probability of erroneous judgement is with regard to smaller.With reference to shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 3 A are the time domain waveform of WIFI signal, and Fig. 3 B are average power detection electricity Road 105 exports the oscillogram of corresponding analog voltage signal.Average power detection (is also named very effective using Ture RMS Value) computational methods, average power detection circuit 105 can specifically pass through special chip or field programmable gate array (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA) is calculated to realize, the embodiment of the present application is not construed as limiting.
Operational amplifier 106
Operational amplifier 106 is (referred to as " amplifier ") circuit unit with very high-amplification-factor.In actual circuit, lead to Often certain function module is collectively constituted with reference to feedback network.It is a kind of amplifier with special Coupling circuit and feedback.Its Output signal can be that input signal adds, subtracts or the result of the mathematical operation such as differential, integration.It can be with the embodiment of the present application Analog voltage signal for being exported to average power detection circuit 105 is amplified, and is amplified to and is suitable for the 2nd ADC's 107 Input voltage range.
2nd ADC 107
The enlarged analog voltage signal that 2nd ADC 107 is used to export operational amplifier 106 carries out analog-to-digital conversion After obtain the second digital signal, and be sent to controller 100.2nd ADC 107 can be the 80MSPS chips of 8bit sample rates.
Controller 100
Controller 100 can be Digital Signal Processing (Digital Signal Processing, DSP), field-programmable Gate array (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA), Complex Programmable Logic Devices (Complex Programmable Logic Device, CPLD), central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) etc..This Application embodiment is illustrated by taking FPGA as an example.
Controller 100 is used to receive the second digital signal by the 2nd ADC 107;And adjusted according to the second digital signal Pad value of the variable gain amplification coupling circuit 102 to radiofrequency signal is saved, is controlled with the gain to main circuit.
Automatic control loop is core mainly with controller 100 in whole agc circuit, and controller 100 receives the second number After word signal, by it compared with internal threshold value.If the second digital signal is less than or equal to threshold value, adjust variable Gain amplification coupling circuit is 0 to the pad value of radiofrequency signal, to keep maximum gain, that is, adjusts the first VGA 1021 and second VGA 1023 is 0 to the pad value of radiofrequency signal;If the second digital signal is more than threshold value, controller 100 is according to the second number Difference between word signal and threshold value adjusts pad value of the variable gain amplification coupling circuit 102 to radiofrequency signal.For Scene shown in Fig. 2, since the maximum attenuation value of the first VGA 1021 is -31.5dB, when the difference is more than 31.5dB Afterwards, then the pad value of the 2nd VGA 1023 of control, therefore the maximum pad value that can realize 63dB are started.
Since WIFI signal is the system of time division duplex (Time Division Duplex, TDD), and signal is to become in real time Change, transmission link can be switched to after a frame end of receives link, variable gain amplification coupling should be controlled at this time Circuit 102 is 0 to the pad value of radiofrequency signal, is maintained under maximum gain, waits next frame to receive and re-forms AGC controls Circuit processed.
In waveform such as Fig. 4 A that normal radio frequency signal is tested when not decaying by variable gain amplification coupling circuit 102 It is shown.When control loop is formed, the waveform of radiofrequency signal is arrived by testing as shown in Figure 4 B.
Interference signal processing
Further, since the extensive use of WIFI, existing most application site all there are more or less interference signal, Here interference includes the interference of other WIFI signals and the interference of non-WIFI signal.With reference to shown in Fig. 5, if first received Useful radiofrequency signal and after adjusting AGC, has the arrival of more high reject signal, in order to achieve the purpose that each device of protection, it should weight New adjustment AGC.Accordingly, it is possible to the useful radiofrequency signal that can cause to have locked can not demodulate.With reference to shown in Fig. 6, if After first receiving compared with high reject signal and adjusting AGC, the less useful radiofrequency signal useful signal of intensity reaches, then can only protect Hold current gain and demodulate, do not readjust AGC, the performance of a part may be sacrificed.Radio frequency is used because if maintaining Signal will certainly cause interference signal bigger, cause the first ADC 104 to tend to saturation in optimum gain.
Big signal protection
Due to the uncertainty of external signal, it is understood that there may be the big signal of the big signals of many WIFI and non-WIFI, to protect Demonstrate,proving the first ADC 104 will not damage, it should quickly judge this big signal and decay.The application by a comparator come Realize the function.
Comparator 108
Comparator 108 be used to docking received high-power signal carry out it is quick relatively and judge, prevent the first ADC's 104 Input signal power is excessive and damages.If the analog voltage signal of the output of average power detection circuit 105 is more than comparator 108 thresholding, then comparator output comparative result signal, such as export high level signal.It should be noted that comparator 108 exists It is optional in the application.
If controller 100 is additionally operable to receive the comparative result signal of comparator 108, variable gain amplification coupling is adjusted Circuit 102 is closed to the pad value of radiofrequency signal to maximum, whole VGA pad values can be controlled to maximum or control section VGA Pad value is to maximum.For example, it is assumed that the threshold value of comparator 108 is set to the corresponding magnitudes of voltage of -10dBm.If comparator 108 is defeated Go out high level, controller 100 quickly control the pad value of the first VGA 1021 to be maximum, equivalent to by radio frequency signal attenuation 31.5dB。
Time delay is verified
It is most important to seek to ensure to complete control under sufficiently low time delay for the agc circuit of WIFI signal.Such as figure Shown in 7, the time delay for the analog voltage signal that average power detection circuit 105 obtains WIFI radio-frequency signal detections is about 100ns。
Time delay inside FPGA is mainly the comparison of the second digital signal and threshold value and to the first VGA 1021 and The output time delay of two VGA, 1023 output control signals, about in 100ns.
Other 2nd ADC 107 be a sample frequency be 80MHz clock, clock signal period 1/80MHz= 12.5ns, its fixed delay is the clock signal in 4 cycles, therefore the delay of the 2nd ADC 107 is 12.5ns*4=50ns.
Total time delay is 100ns+100ns+50ns=250ns, meets the design requirement of WIFI.
Schemes synthesis is verified
Most whole circuit is used to test the WIFI signal of different input power at last, model that can be from -95dBm to -10dBm Enclose the response speed and control function of interior test agc circuit.
Signal, stepping 1dB are progressively increased since power -95dBm, the first ADC 104 for testing main circuit passes through FPGA Signal level size.When RF signal power is -50dBm, AGC loop starts, when signal power is more than -50dBm When, the first VGA 1021 and the 2nd VGA 1023 start to increase pad value, and overall gain is gradually reduced, and ensures the first ADC 104 Incoming level remain unchanged.
Progressively reduce signal, stepping 1dB since power -10dBm, the first ADC 104 for testing main circuit passes through FPGA Signal level size.First VGA 1021 and the 2nd VGA 1023 starts to reduce pad value, and overall gain becomes larger, and ensures The incoming level of first ADC 104 remains unchanged.When signal power is -50dBm, the first VGA 1021 and the 2nd VGA 1023 Pad value be 0, overall gain is maximum.When signal power is less than -50dBm, maximum gain work is kept.
Big signal authentication.Original state keeps power in -50dBm, when suddenly change power is to 0dBm, test and comparison device 108 output state is that the pad value of high level and the first VGA 1021 are -31.5dB.
The automatic growth control agc circuit that embodiments herein provides, couples radiofrequency signal to obtain coupling letter Number, the signal strength of coupled signal is proportional to the signal strength of radiofrequency signal, and coupled signal is detected to obtain analog voltage signal, Analog-to-digital conversion is carried out after being amplified to analog voltage signal and obtains digital signal, is adjusted according to digital signal on main circuit The dough softening of VGA, i.e., adjust the gain of main circuit according to the signal strength of radiofrequency signal, realizes dynamic adjustment rf signal reception The gain of link.
