Change its amplification gain. [Embodiment] The foregoing and other technical contents, features, and effects of the present invention will be made clear in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to the first figure, it is a preferred embodiment of the low distortion power amplifier circuit i according to the present invention. Its purpose is to linearly amplify the RF signal. The low distortion power amplifier circuit 1 includes a preamplifier 10 and a power amplifier n. A coupling circuit 10, an analog compensation circuit 13, a digital compensation circuit 14, and a nose circuit 15. The preamplifier 10 is a variable gain preamplifier which is connected to a radio frequency signal RF and preamplifies the radio frequency signal 10 and outputs a first radio frequency signal RF. 15 The power amplifier 11 is connected to the output of the preamplifier 10 and has a fixed gain. It receives the first radio frequency signal RF and amplifies it at a certain magnification, and outputs a second radio frequency signal RF "to an antenna 17, so that The second radio frequency signal RF "is transmitted. The coupling circuit 12 includes a light-closing circuit ι21, an attenuator 20 I22, and an embedded circuit 123 connected in series. The coupling circuit 121 is close to the antenna 17, and detects the second radio frequency signal RF output by the power amplifier 11 in an inductive manner, and generates a feedback signal (which is a voltage value). After the range is reduced, the attenuated feedback signal A is maintained at a basic level by the embedding circuit 123, so that when the feedback signal generated during the frequency band switching is zero 200418262 发明, invention description (5) 'still There is a voltage level that can reduce the AM-AM and AM-PM effects described above. The analog compensation circuit 13 is a divider, which is connected to the embedded circuit 123 of the coupling circuit 2 to perform an analog division operation on the feedback signal A, and appropriately adjusts the size of the feedback signal A 'and generates a First compensation signal 131. The digital compensation circuit 14 includes an A / D converter 141, a processor 142, a look-up table 143, and a D / A converter 144. The A / D converter 141 is connected to the embedding circuit 123 of the coupling circuit 12, which digitizes the feedback signal A and sends it to the processor 142. The reference value 143 is preset in the comparison table 143. It is a reference value set at 25 ° C to measure RF signals with different power output in each standard frequency band. For example, the base station can output 2〇 〇mw, 400mw and 800mw output power, in the case of 200mw output power in a certain frequency band, in the comparison table 143, there is a gain compensation reference value corresponding to the feedback signal A. Therefore, when the processor 142 receives the 15 digitized feedback signal A ", it extracts a reference value R and the feedback signal A" from the comparison table 143 according to the feedback signal A "and performs a subtraction operation (A ,, _R) to generate a second compensation signal 145 after conversion by the D / A converter 144. Of course, the second compensation signal 145 may also be set by the processor M] itself according to the situation-a suitable direct current (DC) term B ( It is used to set the base 20 level of the gain control signal described below, and it is obtained by adding the feedback signal A "and then subtracting the reference value R (ie, b + a, _r). The operation circuit 15 includes a DC bias generator 151 and an operation amplifier 152. The DC bias generator 151 can be set—DC bias, the output of the operational amplifier 152 is connected to the preamplifier 10, and its positive wheel input terminal (9 and 200418262), invention description (6) DC bias generator 151 Connect and accept the DC bias Vbias provided by the DC bias generator 15 丨 to provide a fixed gain control signal to the preamplifier 10 ′ and its negative input terminal is connected to the analog compensation circuit 13 and the digital compensation circuit 14, respectively. The first and second compensation signals Π1, 145 and the DC bias voltage vbias 5 are combined to produce a variable gain control signal 153. The output controls the preamplifier 10. In fact, the power amplifier 11 is connected to the RF via the preamplifier 10. Signal RF, and the preamplifier 10 changes its amplification gain in time according to the gain control signal 153 generated by the feedback signal A ”, and pre-amplifying the RF signal 10 RF in advance will improve the non-linearity of the power amplifier 11 Distortion phenomenon. Therefore, the feedback signal obtained by the above-mentioned negative feedback circuit (that is, the low distortion power amplifier circuit 〇 can detect the 'detection of the second radio frequency signal RF'). No. a, through the first compensation signal 131 generated by the analog compensation circuit 13 (with real-time response characteristics) to feedback control the preamplifier 10, it can make real-time phase compensation 15 to the power amplifier u, so it can be pulled up The output bandwidth and phase margin of the power amplifier 11. The second compensation signal 145 generated by the feedback signal a ′ through the digital compensation circuit 丨 4 with reference to the reference table j 43 can be used to flexibly adjust the preamplifier 10's Amplify the gain to compensate for the non-linear distortion of the power amplifier, so that the power amplifier 11 can be applied in the standard frequency band (1850.1MHZ ~ 1990MHZ). And as shown in the second and third figures of this figure, this case is at 1990MHZ In the frequency band, when the ambient temperature is 25C and the output power is 800mw (set the comparison table 143 in this environment), compared with the power amplifier circuit without feedback, the output power attenuation range (error rate) at different temperatures. As can be seen from the second figure, a power amplifier circuit without feedback generates a large power error when the ambient temperature deviates from 25 ° C, especially 10 200418262, the description of the invention (7) When the ambient temperature is lower than 0, the error is greater. In contrast, the power amplifier circuit 1 of the present invention, when the ambient temperature is between 0 ° c ~ 50 ° c, its power error rate can be said to be quite small, and even if the ambient temperature is between ~ Between 100c, its power error rate is also much lower than that of a power amplifier without feedback. It is obvious that the power amplifier circuit 1 of the present invention has a good power amplification effect. In summary, the low distortion power amplifier circuit of the present invention By combining the analog compensation circuit 13 and the digital compensation circuit 14, in addition to using the closed-loop will reduce the system gain characteristics to increase the available bandwidth and improve the precision of the RF output, the analog compensation circuit 13 is used for real-time phase compensation to improve The phase boundary of the system, and the digital gain compensation circuit 14 is used to elastically adjust the amplification gain of the preamplifier 10, so that the circuit architecture of the present invention is as simple as the aforementioned Directly feedback circuit, and has the function of digitally adjusting the gain compensation value, and can be applied. In the range of channels regulated by mobile communications, the function of simplifying the circuit structure and effectively reducing the distortion of RF power amplification is indeed achieved. . Those mentioned above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention, that is, simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the contents of the invention specification. , All should still fall within the scope of the invention patent. [Brief description of the figure] The first figure is a circuit block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the low-distortion RF power amplifier of the present invention; the n® table shows that the present invention is compared with a power amplifier circuit without feedback (on the chest MHZ) In the frequency band, the ambient temperature is 4 h and the output power is _ layer daily gain). The attenuation range (power error rate) at different ambient temperatures is shown in 200418262. Figure of the Invention (8); and the third figure is a comparison table. , Shows the power error rate of the present invention and the power amplifier circuit without feedback in the 1990MHZ frequency band relative to the ambient temperature change.
