功率放大器的异常保护方法和装置  Power amplifier abnormal protection method and device
技术领域 Technical field
本发明涉及数字信号处理领域, 尤其涉及一种功率放大器的异常保护方 法和装置。  The present invention relates to the field of digital signal processing, and more particularly to an abnormal protection method and apparatus for a power amplifier.
背景技术 Background technique
功率放大器作为发射机的重要组成部分, 广泛应用于全球移动通讯*** ( GSM )、 个人手持式电话***(PHS )、 码分多址(CDMA )和宽带码分 多址(WCDMA )等各种制式的现代无线通信***中, 无论^ ^站还是直放 站, 功率放大器都是不可或缺且极其重要的。 功率放大器的作用是将基站收 发信机的发射信号进行功率放大, 然后把放大的射频信号输出到基站的天馈 单元,通过基站天线辐射到空中,为移动用户终端提供可靠的无线通信信号。  As an important part of the transmitter, the power amplifier is widely used in various systems such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Personal Handheld Telephone System (PHS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). In modern wireless communication systems, power amplifiers are indispensable and extremely important, regardless of station or repeater. The function of the power amplifier is to amplify the transmission signal of the base transceiver station, and then output the amplified radio frequency signal to the antenna feeder unit of the base station, and radiate into the air through the base station antenna to provide a reliable wireless communication signal for the mobile user terminal.
在无线基站***中, 为了提高设备的覆盖范围和功率放大器的效率, 减 少基站设备的热耗, 功率放大器往往工作在高功率下, 且实际设备的工作环 境非常复杂。 当由于某种突发原因, 功率放大器的输入出现异常时(例如大 功率信号或宽谱信号) , 很容易导致功率放大器出现性能永久下降, 甚至导 致烧毁。 功率放大器的性能异常或烧毁, 一方面会增加基站设备提供商的设 备维修成本, 另一方面会影响设备的正常通信, 从而影响移动运营商给用户 提供正常业务的能力。 因此, 有必要釆用一种技术来提高功率放大器对异常 信号的应对能力。 传统上, 经常在功率放大器内部或外部增加一些电流 /电压 检测电路来提高功率放大器的防烧毁能力, 但是, 这不仅会增加发射机 /功率 放大器的成本和体积, 而且在模拟域进行信号处理往往比较复杂。  In the wireless base station system, in order to improve the coverage of the device and the efficiency of the power amplifier, and reduce the heat consumption of the base station equipment, the power amplifier often works at high power, and the working environment of the actual equipment is very complicated. When an abnormality occurs in the input of the power amplifier due to some sudden cause (such as a high-power signal or a wide-spectrum signal), it is easy to cause a permanent drop in performance of the power amplifier, or even cause burnout. Abnormal performance or burnout of the power amplifier will increase the equipment maintenance cost of the base station equipment provider on the one hand, and affect the normal communication of the equipment on the other hand, thereby affecting the ability of the mobile operator to provide normal services to the user. Therefore, it is necessary to use a technique to improve the power amplifier's ability to respond to abnormal signals. Traditionally, some current/voltage detection circuits have been added inside or outside the power amplifier to improve the anti-burnout capability of the power amplifier. However, this not only increases the cost and volume of the transmitter/power amplifier, but also often performs signal processing in the analog domain. quite complicated.
