Example Embodiment

[0026] The present invention provides a device and method for protecting a power amplifier in a DPD system, so as to solve the problem that only the average power is detected and protected when protecting the power amplifier in the prior art, which may cause instantaneous large spurs to burn the power amplifier.

[0027] The present invention provides a method for protecting power amplifier in DPD system, such as figure 1 As shown, including the following steps:

[0028] Step S1: Perform a DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion, Digital Pre-Distortion) operation on the baseband signal and the feedback signal to obtain a pre-distortion signal.

[0029] Step S2, detecting the predistortion signal, includes the following:

[0030] a) Perform power statistics of the predistortion signal within a period of time and calculate the average power, and then compare it with the preset forward average power threshold. If the average power is greater than the preset forward average power threshold , The alar...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for protecting a power amplifier in a DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) system, which are used for solving the problem of burn-down of the power amplifier by possible instantaneous large stray caused by detection and protection of only mean-value power during protection of the power amplifier in the prior art. The device comprises a forward mean-value power detection and comparison unit, a baseband signal switch unit, a radiofrequency transmitting and processing unit, a power amplifying unit, a DPD operation unit, a level threshold control unit and a feedback unit. By adopting the method and the device, input mean-value power is detected, an input instantaneous ultrahigh level can be detected and controlled in time, instantaneous large stray is prevented from burning the power amplifier down, and the system reliability is enhanced; and meanwhile, mean-value and peak-value power output by the power amplifier can be detected and protected, so that the competitive power of a mobile communication system is greatly enhanced in a quadruple protecting mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to a method and device for protecting a power amplifier realized by FPGA in a DPD system. Background technique [0002] In the existing mobile communication base station system, the power amplifier module completes the function of amplifying the power of the forward transmission signal and outputting it from the antenna. Covering the normal communication of users in the service area has very serious consequences. Based on this, base station equipment manufacturers or power amplifier manufacturers must add many protection circuits and measures to the power amplifier module. The existing technology generally uses a detection circuit to detect the output power. There is a problem of integration time in the output power of the power amplifier. If there is an instantaneous large digital spur, the detection circuit will react slowly, and the power amplifier may still be burned. [00...
