Description

Method, device and equipment for testing digital predistortion signal feedback circuit
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of radio frequency transmission technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a computer readable storage medium for testing a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit.
Background
A Power Amplifier (PA), also called power amplifier, is used to amplify a Radio Frequency (RF) signal to a required power and then transmit the signal through an antenna, and is an indispensable key component in a modern wireless communication system. However, the power amplifier has a nonlinear characteristic, and particularly in broadband communication, the power amplifier presents a memory effect, which seriously affects the normal transmission of the communication system. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the requirement on the linearity of power amplification is higher and higher.
The digital predistortion technology (DPD) is an important technology for realizing linearization of a power amplifier, and is based on the principle that a radio frequency signal input to the power amplifier is predistorted according to the nonlinearity of the power amplifier, so that the radio frequency signal to be amplified and an output signal of the power amplifier have good linearity. For the products supporting digital predistortion, the transmission quality of a predistortion signal feedback circuit and the quality of a predistortion algorithm play a decisive role in the final digital predistortion effect. The predistortion signal feedback circuit needs to truly acquire the signal output by the power amplifier without loss as much as possible so as to provide a calculation basis for a predistortion algorithm. On the premise that the predistortion algorithm is fixed, the quality of the predistortion feedback circuit index is the key for influencing the final predistortion effect.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a predistortion exciter operating in conjunction with a transmitter. As shown in fig. 1, the output terminal of the power amplifier 102 is connected to the transmitting antenna 103 to output the amplified rf signal. The predistortion exciter 101 with digital predistortion function receives the radio frequency feedback signal at the output end of the power amplifier 102, enters the predistortion processor for processing through a predistortion signal feedback circuit inside the predistortion exciter 101, and the partial data is only used for the corresponding calculation of a predistortion algorithm. The predistortion processor generates a modulated signal after predistortion processing according to the calculation result, and outputs a radio frequency signal to the power amplifier 102 after passing through the predistortion signal output circuit.
The existing test scheme of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit needs to test index parameters of each part of circuits contained in the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit, but performance parameters of a down-conversion circuit and an analog-digital sampling circuit usually included in the predistortion signal feedback circuit cannot be simply and conveniently measured by an instrument, particularly parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio, distortion degree, out-of-band spurious and the like of an analog-digital conversion device and a circuit can only be analyzed off-line by a method of capturing data internally, manpower is consumed, a large amount of data needs to be captured, and the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit is not suitable for scale test and production.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for testing a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, a method for testing a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit according to an embodiment of the present application includes:
s201: after the transmission quality of a predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested is determined to be qualified, a predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be tested is controlled to work in a feedback through output mode, and then a first test signal is generated by a signal generator and is input to an input end of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested of the predistortion exciter to be tested.
S202: a first output signal of the predistortion signal output circuit is received.
S203: and comparing the first output signal with the first test signal, and determining the test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested according to the comparison result.
Referring to fig. 1, the pre-distortion exciter to be tested mainly includes a pre-distortion processor, a pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested, and a pre-distortion signal output circuit. The input end of the predistortion processor is connected with the output end of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be detected, and the output end of the predistortion processor is connected with the input end of the predistortion signal output circuit. The predistortion processor is typically a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The predistortion signal output circuit is used for outputting the radio frequency signal processed by the predistortion processor to the power amplifier, and mainly comprises a digital-to-analog conversion circuit and an up-conversion circuit, wherein the input end of the digital-to-analog conversion circuit is connected with the output end of the predistortion processor, the output end of the digital-to-analog conversion circuit is connected with the input end of the up-conversion circuit, and the output end of the up-conversion circuit is used for being connected with the input end of the power amplifier. The predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is used for collecting a radio frequency feedback signal at the output end of the power amplifier and sending the radio frequency feedback signal to the predistortion processor, so that the predistortion processor controls the predistortion processing of the radio frequency signal according to the radio frequency feedback signal and then controls the predistortion signal output circuit to output the radio frequency signal after the predistortion processing, the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested mainly comprises a down-conversion circuit and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, in the conventional application, the down-conversion circuit is connected with a sampling point at the output end of the power amplifier, the output end of the down-conversion circuit is connected with the input end of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit, and the output end of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit. It is understood that, in practical applications, the predistortion signal output circuit and the predistortion signal feedback circuit have various forms and are not limited to the above-described forms, and the predistortion signal output circuit and the predistortion signal feedback circuit in these forms belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application on the basis of the concept of testing the transmission quality of the predistortion signal feedback circuit by the internal loop of the predistortion exciter provided by the embodiments of the present application.
In the specific implementation, the test of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested needs to be performed on the basis that the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested is qualified, and if the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit is unqualified, it can be determined that the predistortion exciter to be tested cannot be normally put into use, that is, the test of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is not needed any more.
For step S201, after the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested is determined to be qualified, the software of the predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be tested is modified, so that the predistortion processor operates in the feedback through output mode. The feedback through output mode is a working mode of the predistortion exciter, and particularly, the predistortion processor does not output own modulation signals, and the feedback signals acquired by the predistortion signal feedback circuit replace the original modulation signals to be directly output. On the premise that the performance of the predistortion signal output circuit is guaranteed, the signal output by the predistortion signal output circuit reflects the performance index of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested. Therefore, after the predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be tested is controlled to work in the feedback through output mode, the signal generator is utilized to generate a first test signal to be input into the input end of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested of the predistortion exciter to be tested. The signal generator is a separate signal source, preferably a signal generator that can emit a standard radio frequency signal, and another exciter (or another predistortion exciter) can be used.
For steps S202 and S203, a signal measuring instrument may be connected to the output of the predistortion signal output circuit to receive and measure the first output signal of the predistortion signal output circuit. The method for comparing the first output signal and the first test signal may be to compare the similarity of the waveforms of the first output signal and the first test signal, and calculate whether the index parameters of the first output signal and the first test signal are consistent. And if the similarity is within the allowable range or the deviation of each index is within the allowable range, determining that the test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is qualified, otherwise, determining that the test result is unqualified.
The testing method of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit provided by the embodiment of the application controls the predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be tested to work in the feedback through output mode after the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested is determined to be qualified, then utilizes the whole loop of the predistortion exciter to be tested to test the signal transmission quality of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested, and specifically obtains the test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested by comparing the input first test signal and the output first output signal, thereby being capable of rapidly obtaining the signal transmission quality of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested in real time, being free from respectively testing all parts of the circuit of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested, being free from capturing test data to be derived for off-line analysis, and simplifying the testing process of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit, is convenient for scale test and production.
On the basis of the above embodiment, in the testing method of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, step S202 in fig. 2: comparing the first output signal with the first test signal, and determining a test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested according to the comparison result, which may specifically include:
measuring an index parameter of the first output signal;
calculating a first deviation value between the index parameter of the first output signal and the index parameter of the first test signal;
if all the first deviation values are within a first allowable range, determining that the test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is qualified;
and if at least one first deviation value exceeds the first allowable range, determining that the test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is unqualified.
In a specific implementation, several are selected as the indicators of the test according to the properties of the predistortion actuator. For example, the index parameters may specifically include a modulation error ratio, a shoulder ratio, phase noise, and the like. And measuring the index parameter of the first output signal through the signal measuring instrument, comparing the index parameter with the index parameter corresponding to the first test signal, and calculating a first deviation value.
And presetting a first allowable range corresponding to each index parameter, comparing each first deviation value with the corresponding first allowable range, and judging whether a first deviation value exceeding the first allowable range exists or not. And if so, determining that the test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is unqualified. And only if the first deviation values of the index parameters are within the corresponding first allowable range, the test result of the pre-distortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is considered to be qualified.
The first test signal may be a radio frequency signal arbitrarily generated by the signal generator, and at this time, the index parameter of the first test signal needs to be measured. In order to facilitate the test, the first test signal may be a standard radio frequency signal, i.e. a radio frequency signal whose index parameters all meet the standards in the field. Calculating a first deviation value between the index parameter of the first output signal and the index parameter of the first test signal, specifically: a first deviation value between the index parameter of the first output signal and a standard index parameter of a standard radio frequency signal is calculated.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in the method for testing a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, the determining the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested in step S201 may specifically include:
controlling a predistortion processor to generate a second test signal with known index parameters, and inputting the second test signal into a predistortion signal output circuit;
receiving a second output signal of the predistortion signal output circuit;
and comparing the second output signal with the second test signal, and determining the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit according to the comparison result.

The predistortion signal output circuit is arranged in a packaged predistortion exciter to be tested, so that a predistortion processor at the input end of the predistortion signal output circuit is required to generate a second test signal with known index parameters, the second test signal is input into the predistortion signal output circuit, the second output signal is received at the output end of the predistortion signal output circuit, specifically, the index parameters of the second output signal can be measured by a signal measuring instrument and compared with the index parameters of the second test signal, and the second deviation values of the index parameters of the second output signal and the corresponding index parameters of the second test signal are both in a corresponding second allowable range, so that the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit is determined to be qualified, otherwise, the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit is determined to be unqualified.
