Description

Power amplification linearization method for mixing analog predistortion and in-band digital predistortion
Technical Field
The invention relates to a linearization method, in particular to a power amplification linearization method for mixing analog predistortion with in-band digital predistortion.
Background
The industrial information department issues a 5G (fifth generation mobile communication system, commonly called 5G) commercial license plate on 6 th and 6 th of 2019, which marks the formal 5G age of China. However, the current 5G commercial frequency band is only a frequency band lower than 6GHz, and spectrum resources are still very intense. The millimeter wave frequency band has rich spectrum resources, can transmit large bandwidth signals, increases the user capacity, and provides core powerful support for everything interconnection and M2M reliable low-delay communication.
However, the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier, which is one of the core components of the transmitting front end of the wireless communication system, is the module with the greatest energy consumption and the greatest influence on the quality of the transmitted signal. The inherent nonlinearity of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier not only can generate out-of-band parasitic radiation to cause serious interference to adjacent (or separated) channels, but also can generate non-filterable noise to in-band signals, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the signals is reduced, so that the quality of information transmission of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier is seriously affected. In addition, with the continuous increase of the demands of wireless communication systems for large capacity and fast speed, the non-constant envelope signal modulation mode has become the most widespread modulation mode in wireless communication, and the modulation degree is higher and higher, such as modulation modes of 64QAM, 128QAM, 512QAM, even 1024QAM, and the like. The high modulation degree entails a high peak-to-average power ratio (Peak to Average Power Ratio, PAPR), which puts more stringent demands on the linearity of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier. In addition, as the bandwidth of wireless communication systems increases, the memory effect of millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifiers has become a non-negligible distortion component in broadband millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier designs. And with the increase of bandwidth, the memory effect of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier is stronger and more complex. The memory effect of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier is the same as static nonlinearity, which can cause distortion of the power amplifier transmission signal and generation of out-of-band spurious spectrum. The memory effect of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier is generated by a plurality of complicated reasons, such as signal loading effect of a bias circuit, thermal memory effect of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier, memory effect caused by parasitic capacitance and inductance in the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier, charge and discharge of capacitance inductance of a peripheral circuit of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier and the like, so that the linearization processing of the broadband millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier is more difficult and complicated due to the memory effect of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier. Therefore, in order to secure the communication quality of the millimeter wave communication system, the nonlinearity of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier must be corrected.
Among the linearization techniques, the digital predistortion linearization technique (digital predistortion, DPD) has the advantages of simple implementation, strong nonlinear correction capability, stable and reliable performance, strong reconfigurable capability and the like, so that the digital predistortion linearization technique is widely applied to linearization of millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifiers in modern wireless communication systems. However, during training of the DPD model, 3-order intermodulation distortion and even 5-order intermodulation distortion of the millimeter wave radio frequency power amplifier need to be collected, so that the sampling bandwidth of the ADC is 3 times or even 5 times that of the input signal, which greatly aggravates the sampling bandwidth and sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter (analog to digital converter, ADC) and increases the cost of the whole linearization. The analog predistortion linearization technology (analog predistortion, APD) has the advantages of very wide bandwidth, rapid correction speed, simple structure, low cost and the like, but the APD has weak nonlinear correction capability and cannot compensate the memory effect, so that the application range of the APD is limited.
Disclosure of Invention
