Description

調幅調相失真之補償裝置Compensation device for AM and phase distortion

本發明是關於失真補償裝置,尤其是關於調幅調相失真之補償裝置。The present invention relates to a distortion compensation device, especially to a compensation device for amplitude and phase modulation distortion.

無線傳收器之功率放大器的輸出會有調幅調相失真(amplitude-modulation to phase-modulation distortion, AM-PM distortion),這會導致頻譜增生(spectral regrowth)的問題。頻譜增生的問題使得本領域人士難以將功率放大器整合至無線傳收器,也會降低無線傳收器之傳送電路的效能。The output of the power amplifier of the wireless transmitter will have amplitude-modulation to phase-modulation distortion (AM-PM distortion), which will cause the problem of spectral regrowth. The problem of spectrum proliferation makes it difficult for those skilled in the art to integrate the power amplifier into the wireless transceiver, and also reduces the performance of the transmission circuit of the wireless transceiver.

解決調幅調相失真之問題的目前技術包括採用笛卡爾回授(Cartesian feedback)技術以及適應性數位預失真技術。笛卡爾回授技術需要額外的回授解調變器以及誤差放大器,會增加電路複雜度與成本;笛卡爾回授可見於坊間之教科書(例如:Behzad Razavi, “Fundamentals of Microelectronics, 2 ndEdition”, ISBN-10: 9781118156322/ ISBN-13: 978-1118156322)。適應性數位預失真技術可能需要基頻訊號之頻寬的增加,而導致較高的功耗,且該技術之升頻路徑與降頻路徑之間的耦合效應也可能降低預失真的效果;適應性數位預失真技術可見於專利號5524286之美國專利。 Current technologies to solve the problem of AM and phase distortion include the use of Cartesian feedback technology and adaptive digital predistortion technology. Cartesian feedback technology requires additional feedback demodulators and error amplifiers, which will increase circuit complexity and cost; Cartesian feedback can be found in textbooks (for example: Behzad Razavi, "Fundamentals of Microelectronics, 2 nd Edition" , ISBN-10: 9781118156322/ ISBN-13: 978-1118156322). The adaptive digital predistortion technology may require an increase in the bandwidth of the baseband signal, resulting in higher power consumption, and the coupling effect between the up-frequency path and the down-frequency path of this technology may also reduce the effect of the pre-distortion; The sexual digital predistortion technology can be found in the US Patent No. 5524286.

Compared with FIG. 1, the compensation device 600 for AM and phase distortion compensation in FIG. 6 further includes a correction circuit 610. The correction circuit 610 outputs a correction signal S CAL to the control circuit 120 according to the relationship between the change of the control signal S CTRL and the change of the output signal S OUT , so that the control circuit 120 determines the input signal according to the correction signal S CAL The relationship between S IN and the control signal S CTRL . In an implementation example, when the input signal S IN is a specific value (for example, when the amplitude of the input signal S IN is a specific amplitude), the calibration circuit 610 performs at least the following steps in sequence (as shown in FIG. 7 (Shown) to determine the relationship between the change of the control signal S CTRL and the change of the output signal S IN : Step S710: Make the control signal S CTRL change in a current direction. For example, the control signal S CTRL is a control voltage. In this step, the control signal S CTRL is increased/decreased by a predetermined voltage by one unit; for another example, the control signal S CTRL is composed of a plurality of levels ( For example: 00011 is used to control the five switches in the aforementioned capacitance path, where level 0 is used to make the switch non-conductive, and level 1 is used to make the switch conductive), this step changes a level of the control signal S CTRL ( For example: 00011à00111 or 00111à00011). Step S720: Perform a comparison operation to compare a current value derived from the output signal S OUT (for example: the digital feedback signal S FEEDBACK described below) with a previous value derived from the output signal S OUT (for example: the following The first digital feedback signal). After the current value generating the control signal S CTRL to a change in the latest, before the previous value produced in the last change of the control signal S CTRL. Step S730: If the current value is less than the previous value (which means that the signal of the proliferation becomes smaller, that is, the AM-PM distortion is reduced), keep the current direction unchanged; if the current value is greater than the previous value (which means that the proliferation The signal becomes larger, that is, the AM-PM distortion becomes serious), so that the current direction is updated to the opposite of the current direction. Step S740: Repeat steps S710 to S740 in sequence until the current direction has changed at least N times, and then output the calibration signal S CAL to indicate the best control signal S CTRL under the condition that the input signal S IN is the specific value Intensity or optimal level composition, where N is a positive integer. For example, if the current value is less than the previous value when the first comparison operation is performed, it means that the change direction of the control signal selected at the beginning is correct, then the N is a positive integer; if the first comparison operation is performed , The current value is greater than the previous value, which means that the change direction of the control signal selected at the beginning is wrong, and the N is a positive integer not less than 2. Through the above steps, the correction circuit 610 can find the best intensity or best level composition of the control signal S CTRL corresponding to each value of the input signal S IN .
