Automatic control method for RF amplifier gain based on varying electrical bridge principle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method to control radio-frequency amplifier gain based on the deformation bridge theory. When the variance Delta Ubc of the differential voltage between a comparative end and a reference end equals to Delta k and also equals to 0, the high precision of the radio-frequency amplifier gain is stable, and the variance and the adjustment quantity of the radio frequency gain are balanced completely. When the variance and the adjustment quantity of the gain are balanced completely, parameters in the formula are as follows: Delta K1 (dB) is the variance of the radio frequency gain; Delta L2 (dB) is variance of attenuation of a digital control attenuator; Delta K3 (dB) is the signal gain of the reference end of an automatic gain control circuit; Delta K4(dB) is the signal gain of the comparative end of the automatic gain control circuit. The invention adopts the closed loop gain control proposal, and the circuit is simple. The gain control precision is high and is as high as 0.2 dB. The system structure is simple, and is designed rationally. The cost of development is low, and a lot of experimental expenses are saved. The invention solves the problems of poor stability of the radio-frequency amplifier gain, the complicated gain control circuit, low reliability of the system and high cost of development.
