In the description and drawings, particular embodiments of the invention have been disclosed in detail as being indicative of some of the embodiments in which the principles of the invention may be employed, it being understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover all modifications, variations, and equivalents falling within the scope of the appended claims.
Example 1
The embodiment of the invention provides a baseband predistortion coefficient updating device, which updates a predistortion coefficient of a digital predistorter.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a configuration of a coefficient updating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the coefficient updating apparatus 200 includes: a main lobe filter 201, an envelope detector 202, an analog-to-digital converter 203, and a coefficient updater 204;

In this embodiment, the coefficient updating apparatus 200 may be a part of a predistortion device. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a predistortion apparatus with a coefficient update device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the predistortion apparatus 300 includes a coefficient updating apparatus 200, and may further include a Digital Predistorter (DPD) 301 and a power amplifier 302. In addition, two Digital-to-Analog converters (DACs) 303, a Quadrature Modulator (QMOD) 304, a Frequency Converter (Frequency Converter) 305, a Coupler (Coupler) 306, a Frequency Converter 307, and the like may be included.
It should be noted that the predistortion apparatus shown in fig. 3 is only a structure shown for convenience of explaining the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the structure may be appropriately changed in implementation.
As shown in fig. 3, after passing through the frequency converter 307, the predistorted feedback signal output from the coupler 306 may be filtered by the main lobe filter 201, so that side lobe (sidelobe) information (also referred to as out-of-band information) in the feedback signal is filtered out and main lobe (mainlobe) information (also referred to as in-band information) is retained.
Fig. 4 is a signal diagram before filtering according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the feedback signal may include main lobe information 401 and side lobe information 402 before being filtered by the main lobe filter 201. Fig. 5 is a signal diagram after filtering according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, after being filtered by the main lobe filter 201, the feedback signal only includes main lobe information 401.
It should be noted that the contents shown in fig. 4 and 5 are only schematic, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the waveform of the signal may have different expressions according to actual situations. In an implementation, the main lobe Filter 201 may employ a Band Pass Filter (BPF). But are not limited to such, and the specific components may be determined according to specific circumstances.
In this embodiment, the envelope detector 202 and the analog-to-digital converter 203 may perform envelope detection (envelope Detect) on the signal from which the side lobe information is filtered and perform analog-to-digital conversion. Reference may be made to the prior art as to how the envelope detection is performed and how the analog-to-digital conversion is performed.
In this embodiment, the predistortion coefficients of the digital predistorter may be updated according to the information after the analog-to-digital conversion. Therefore, I, Q two-path signals are not needed when the predistortion coefficient is updated, and the problem of I, Q unbalance is avoided; and only one analog-to-digital converter is needed, so that compared with the traditional method, one analog-to-digital converter and one quadrature demodulator are reduced, and the complexity and cost of hardware are reduced.
In one embodiment, the coefficient updater 204 may compare the output information of the analog-to-digital converter 203 with a reference signal, and update the predistortion coefficients of the digital predistorter according to the comparison result.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another configuration of the predistortion apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention.

The coefficient updater 204 is specifically configured to compare the information converted by the analog-to-digital converter with a reference value, and update the predistortion coefficient of the digital predistorter according to the comparison result.
In a specific implementation, a synchronization unit (not shown in the figure) may be included to synchronize the output information of the reference value generator 601 and the output information of the analog-to-digital converter 203, and how to implement the method may refer to the prior art.
In particular, reference generator 601 may calculate the magnitude of the I and Q signals, for example
Figure BDA00001959644800051
The specific implementation can be determined on a case-by-case basis. As to how to generate the predistortion coefficients specifically, reference may be made to the prior art, and details are not described here.
In another embodiment, the coefficient updater 204 may further process the output information of the analog-to-digital converter 203, and update the predistortion coefficients of the digital predistorter according to the processed information.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of another configuration of the predistortion apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 7, the coefficient updating apparatus 200 may further include: an envelope restorer 701; when the feedback signal is a single-carrier high-order modulation signal, the envelope restorer 701 performs envelope restoration (recovery) on the information output by the analog-to-digital converter; the coefficient updater 204 is specifically configured to update the predistortion coefficients of the digital predistorter according to the information output by the envelope restorer 801. As to how the envelope restoration is specifically performed and how the predistortion coefficients are specifically generated, reference may be made to the prior art.
It is noted that fig. 6 and 7 are only schematic illustrations of how the information output by the analog-to-digital converter is used to update the predistortion coefficients. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the specific configuration may be determined according to actual circumstances.
In the invention, the side lobe information in the feedback signal is filtered completely, so that the detection is only needed on the amplitude, thereby realizing the updating of the predistortion coefficient. The following description is made in principle by taking fig. 6 as an example.
As shown in fig. 6, if the points a and c are to be made equal only in magnitude, i.e., | a (t) | ═ c (t) |, a (t) · e can be obtainedjθ(t)C (t), i.e. in the frequency domainWherein A (f), C (f), B (f) are respectively a (t), c (t), ejθ(t)In the frequency domain.
Since the side lobe information in the feedback signal is filtered to be clean, i.e. a (f), c (f) has no side lobe information, b (f) ═ k δ (f) can be deduced; where δ (f) is a dirac function and k is a complex factor. Thus in the time domain ejθ(t)=eI.e. a (t) eThe phase difference between the signals at points a and c is independent of time t.
The above description is from a continuous domain, and the same conclusions can be drawn from a discrete domain. For example, the following schematic description will be given by taking 6 sampling points as an example. If one wants to make points a and c equal only in magnitude, i.e. | ai|=|ciI, can be derived

As can be known from the derivation process, after the side lobe information in the feedback signal is filtered, the amplitudes of the feedback signal and the reference signal are required to be equal, and the following can be derived from both the continuous domain and the discrete domain: the feedback signal and the reference signal only have phase difference without time variation, and the linear characteristic of the predistortion system is not influenced.
