Description

Method, device and equipment for testing digital predistortion signal feedback circuit
Technical Field
The present invention 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 a power amplifier, is used to amplify a Radio Frequency (RF) signal to a required power, and then transmit the signal through an antenna, which is an essential component in a modern wireless communication system. However, the power amplifier has nonlinear characteristics, especially in broadband communication, the power amplifier presents a memory effect, and the normal transmission of the communication system is seriously affected. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the linearity requirement on the power amplifier is higher and higher.
The digital predistortion technology (DPD) is an important technology for realizing linearization of a power amplifier, and the principle is that the predistortion processing is performed on a radio frequency signal input to the power amplifier 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 show good linearity. For products supporting digital predistortion, the quality of the transmission quality of the predistortion signal feedback circuit and the quality of the predistortion algorithm play a decisive role in the effect of final digital predistortion. The predistortion signal feedback circuit needs to collect the signal output by the power amplifier as practically as possible without loss so as to provide calculation basis for the predistortion algorithm. On the premise of fixed predistortion algorithm, 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, an output terminal of the power amplifier 102 is connected to the transmitting antenna 103 to output an amplified radio frequency signal. The predistortion exciter 101 with digital predistortion function receives the radio frequency feedback signal at the output end of the power amplifier 102, and the radio frequency feedback signal 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 corresponding calculation by a predistortion algorithm. The predistortion processor generates a predistortion processed modulation signal 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 prior testing scheme of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit needs to test index parameters of all partial circuits contained in the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit, but the performance parameters of a down-conversion circuit and an analog-digital sampling circuit which are usually contained in the predistortion signal feedback circuit cannot be simply and directly measured by an instrument, especially the parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio, distortion degree, out-of-band spurious and the like of the analog-digital conversion device and the circuit can only be analyzed offline by a method of capturing data internally, which consumes manpower and needs to capture a large amount of data, and is not suitable for large-scale testing and production.

The core of the application is to provide a testing method, a testing device, testing equipment and a computer readable storage medium of a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit, which are used for realizing real-time analysis of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit, simplifying the testing flow of the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit and facilitating scale test and production.
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a testing method of a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, the test method for the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit provided in the embodiment of the application includes:
s201: after the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be measured is determined to be qualified, controlling a predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be measured to work in a feedback through output mode, and then generating a first test signal by using a signal generator to be input into the input end of the predistortion signal feedback circuit of the predistortion exciter to be measured.
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 a test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested according to the comparison result.
Referring to fig. 1, it can be seen that the predistortion exciter to be measured mainly includes a predistortion processor, a predistortion signal feedback circuit to be measured and a predistortion 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 (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 measured is used for collecting the 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 measured 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 of 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 is connected with the input end of the predistortion processor. It will be appreciated that in practical applications, the predistortion signal output circuit and the predistortion signal feedback circuit have various forms, not limited to the forms described above, and the predistortion signal output circuit and the predistortion signal feedback circuit in these forms are all within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application based on the concept of testing the transmission quality of the predistortion signal feedback circuit with the predistortion exciter internal loop provided in the embodiments of the present application.
In specific implementation, the test of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is required 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 not qualified, 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 required.
For step S201, after determining that the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested is acceptable, software of the predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be tested is modified to make the predistortion processor work in the feedback pass-through output mode. The feedback through output mode is a working mode of the predistortion exciter, specifically, the predistortion processor does not output a modulating signal of the predistortion processor, and the feedback signal collected by the predistortion signal feedback circuit replaces the original modulating signal to be through 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 detected. Therefore, after the predistortion processor controlling the predistortion exciter to be tested works in the feedback through output mode, a signal generator is utilized to generate a first test signal which is input into the input end of the predistortion signal feedback circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested. The signal generator is a single signal source, preferably a signal generator that emits a standard radio frequency signal, and may employ another exciter (or another predistortion exciter).
For step S202 and step 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, calculate whether the index parameters of the first output signal and the first test signal are consistent, and so on. If the similarity is in the allowable range or the deviation of each index is in the allowable range, the test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is considered to be qualified, otherwise, the test result is not qualified.
According to the test method for the digital predistortion signal feedback circuit, after the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be tested is determined to be qualified, the predistortion processor of the predistortion exciter to be tested is controlled to work in a feedback through output mode, then the signal transmission quality of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is tested by using the whole loop of the predistortion exciter to be tested, and the test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is obtained by comparing the input first test signal with the output first output signal.
Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the method for testing a digital predistortion signal feedback circuit provided in the embodiments 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 predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested according to the comparison result, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps:
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 in the first allowable range, determining that the test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is qualified;
if at least one first deviation value exceeds a first allowable range, determining that the test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is unqualified.
In a specific implementation, several are selected as indicators of the test according to the nature of the predistortion exciter. For example, the index parameter may specifically include a modulation error ratio, a shoulder ratio, phase noise, and the like. And measuring index parameters of the first output signal through a signal measuring instrument, comparing the index parameters with the index parameters corresponding to the first test signal, and calculating a first deviation value.
The first allowable range corresponding to each index parameter is preset, so that each first deviation value is compared with the corresponding first allowable range, and whether the first deviation value exceeding the first allowable range exists or not is judged. If so, the test result of the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested is considered as unqualified. And only if the first deviation values of all index parameters are in the corresponding first allowable range, the test result of the predistortion 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 the index parameter of the first test signal needs to be measured at this time. For convenience of testing, the first test signal may be a standard radio frequency signal, i.e. a radio frequency signal with all index parameters meeting the standards in the field. Then a first deviation value between the index parameter of the first output signal and the index parameter of the first test signal is calculated, specifically: a first deviation value between an index parameter of the first output signal and a standard index parameter of the 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 measuring transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit of the predistortion exciter to be measured in step S201 may specifically include:
controlling the predistortion processor to generate a second test signal with known index parameters to be input into the 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.
In a specific implementation, referring to the test method for the predistortion signal feedback circuit to be tested provided in the above embodiment of the present application, first, the transmission quality of the predistortion signal output circuit is tested. The predistortion signal output circuit is in the packaged predistortion exciter to be tested, so that a predistortion processor at the input end of the predistortion signal output circuit is required to be used for generating a second test signal with known index parameters to be input into the predistortion signal output circuit, the second output signal is received at the output end of the predistortion signal output circuit, the index parameters of the second output signal can be measured by a signal measuring instrument, the index parameters of the second output signal are compared with the index parameters of the second test signal, the index parameters of the second output signal and the second deviation values of the index parameters of the corresponding second test signal are in the corresponding second allowable range, and 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.
