Use the measuring process of device shown in Figure 2 as follows:
Before measurement, at first pick-up unit is calibrated, obtain the detailed corresponding relation between the detecting circuit of the power of real input signal and power detector, for example both corresponding tables or funtcional relationship, with the accuracy that guarantees to measure, described detecting circuit is represented with the corresponding digital signal that is input to microprocessor.And after calibration, described corresponding relation is kept in the microprocessor 213.
In measuring process, when the output signal of power amplifier to be measured is imported this device, the power of microprocessor 213 control survey main channel signals and the power of neighboring trace signal, and calculate adjacent-channel power leakage ratio.
Because main channel has two neighboring traces, promptly upper side band and lower sideband need to control local frequency and make the signal of low-converter timesharing output suitable frequency measure upper side band power and lower sideband power respectively in measuring process.If the main channel frequency of input signal is fc, the local frequency of local frequency compositor 205 outputs is flo, and the signal main channel frequency that obtains after low-converter 204 down coversions becomes fi, when flo is less than fc, fi=fc-flo, when flo is greater than fc, fi=flo-fc.Because the skew of upper side band, lower sideband and main channel frequency is df, and is known quantity, the centre frequency of establishing the if bandpas filter response is fs, and fs=fi+df is then arranged when measuring upper side band power, and fs=fi-df is arranged when measuring lower sideband power.Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 have provided the spectrum diagram of if bandpas filter when measuring upper side band power and lower sideband power respectively.
When measuring upper side band power, the local frequency flo of microprocessor 213 control local frequency compositor outputs is floup, here get floup less than fc, and the value of described floup can be determined by the relational expression fi=fc-floup at low-converter place and the relational expression fi=fs-df at if bandpas filter place: floup=fc-fi=fc-(fs-df)=fc-fs+df.Relation between above-mentioned each frequency as shown in Figure 6.Can certainly get floup greater than fc, determine floup=fc+fi=fc+fs-df according to fi=floup-fc and fi=fs-df so.
When measuring lower sideband power, the local frequency flo of microprocessor 213 control local frequency compositor outputs is flodown, here get flodown less than fc, and the value of described flodown can be determined by the relational expression fi=fc-flodown at low-converter place and the relational expression fi=fs+df at if bandpas filter place: flodown=fc-fi=fc-(fs+df)=fc-fs-df.Relation between above-mentioned each frequency as shown in Figure 7.Can certainly get flodown greater than fc, determine flodown=fc+fi=fc+fs+df according to fi=flodown-fc and fi=fs+df so.
Can only measure the power P up of upper side band and the power P o1 of main channel signal, calculate Pup/Po1, also can only measure the power P down of lower sideband and the power P o2 of main channel signal, calculate Puo/Po2 as the ACLR value as the ACLR value.Further, can successively measure after Pup, Po1 and Pdown, the Po2, with power bigger in the middle of Pup and the Pdown as the neighboring trace signal, the power of promptly getting the neighboring trace signal equals max (Pup, Pdown), with the mean value of Po1 and the Po2 power as the main channel signal, the power of promptly getting the main channel signal equals (Po1+Po2)/2, calculate then ACLR equal max (Pup, Pdown)/((Po1+Po2)/2).
In device shown in Figure 3, when measuring the power of neighboring trace signal, need leak ratio greater than adjacent-channel power to the rejection ratio that departs from constant-frequency signal, generally need more than the big 10dB.If the single-stage if bandpas filter can not reach the rejection ratio of expection, can in circuit, adopt the mode of multi-stage cascade, the circuit of employing two-stage cascade mode as shown in Figure 8, Fig. 8 on the basis of Fig. 3, increased by second if bandpas filter 214 and and intermediate frequency amplifier 215, formed the mode of two-stage cascade, to reach the signal suppressing ratio of expection.Use the measuring method of this device identical, repeat no more here with the measuring method of using device shown in Figure 3.
In first embodiment, adopt two circuit to measure the power of main channel signal and the power of neighboring trace signal simultaneously respectively, in a second embodiment, utilize same circuit timesharing to measure the power of main channel signal and the power of neighboring trace signal.
The device of second embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 9, this device comprises: attenuator 201, local frequency compositor 205, low-converter 204, if bandpas filter 206, intermediate frequency amplifier 207, controllable attenuator 218, the 3rd intermediate frequency amplifier 217, second if bandpas filter 214, second intermediate frequency amplifier 215, second power detector 208, second A/D converter 209, microprocessor 213.Circuit diagram shown in Figure 9 is compared with circuit diagram shown in Figure 3, lack coupling mechanism 202, second attenuator 203, first attenuator 210, first power detector 211 and first A/D converter 212, promptly saved the branch road of the power of special measurement main channel signal; Controllable attenuator 218 and the 3rd intermediate frequency amplifier 217 have been Duoed than circuit diagram shown in Figure 3.Wherein controllable attenuator 218 is controlled its power attenuation value according to the high-low level of control pin, and the high-low level various combination of a plurality of control pins forms the pad value of different capacity, microprocessor 213 is by expanded circuit control controllable attenuator, when measuring the power of main channel signal, carry out high attenuation, when measuring the power of neighboring trace signal, carry out little decay or unattenuated; The effect of the 3rd intermediate frequency amplifier 217 mainly is the high attenuation of compensation controllable attenuator 218.
In a second embodiment, when measuring the power of neighboring trace signal, the same among the local frequency of microprocessor control local frequency compositor output and first embodiment, and in the process of the power of measuring the neighboring trace signal, microprocessor control controllable attenuator is carried out little decay or unattenuated to signal, measures the performance number of neighboring trace signal.
When measuring the power of main channel signal,,, determine flo=fc-fi=fc-fs this moment so by the relational expression fi=fc-flo at low-converter place and the relational expression fi=fs at if bandpas filter place if get flo less than fc; If get flo,, determine flo=fc+fi=fc+fs this moment so by fi=flo-fc and fi=fs greater than fc.Microprocessor control local frequency compositor output local frequency is the signal of above-mentioned flo, and controls controllable attenuator and carry out high attenuation, just can measure the performance number of main channel.
Microprocessor uses the method described in first embodiment according to the performance number of the above-mentioned neighboring trace signal that measures and the performance number of main channel signal, just can calculate the ACLR value.
In addition, the device among the first embodiment of the invention and second embodiment not only can be used for measuring the Power leakage ratio of neighboring trace signal, can also be used to measuring waiting other linear index such as third order intermodulation (IM3).When measuring IM3, measurement be the power of main channel signal and the power of intermodulation part, be analogous to the power of the main channel signal when measuring ACLR and the power of neighboring trace signal, measuring method is identical.Different is, because during the IM3 test, useful signal is two continuous waves of 1MHz of being separated by, and therefore the bandwidth of the wave filter that is adopted in the device need be less than 1MHz.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to restriction the present invention, within the spirit and principles in the present invention not all, any modification of being done, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
