Problems solved by technology

With the current manufacturing process level of analog-to-digital converters, even if such a high conversion efficiency can be achieved, it is difficult to meet the conversion accuracy requirements, so that the existing analog-to-digital converters cannot be applied to the output signal of an ultra-wideband RF power amplifier. Sampling, unable to extract the nonlinear characteristics of ultra-wideband RF power amplifiers that meet the requirements of digital pre-distortion technology, it is difficult to perform linear modeling on it, which limits the development of broadband wireless communication technology

Abstract

The invention discloses a nonlinearity extractor of an ultra-wideband radio-frequency power amplifier. The nonlinearity extractor comprises a radio frequency neutralizing scheme and an intermediate frequency neutralizing scheme. The radio frequency neutralizing scheme includes: disposing an error separation module at a coupling end of a first coupler and an output end of a first attenuator, performing radio frequency neutralizing to radio frequency signals through the error separation module, and clearing linear amplified radio frequency components in the band to obtain error signals by separating. The intermediate frequency neutralizing scheme includes: disposing an error separation module at an output end of a first mixer and an output end of a second mixer, performing intermediate frequency neutralizing to low and intermediate frequency signals, and clearing linear amplified intermediate frequency components in the band to obtain error signals by separating. By the nonlinearity extractor, dynamic range of the obtained error signals is reduced greatly, high-speed analog to digital converter with lower conversion precision can be used to sample the error signals, and the requirement of conversion precision of the high-speed analog-digital converter in nonlinearity extraction of the ultra-wideband radio-frequency power amplifier is lowered greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nonlinear characteristic extraction device, in particular to an ultra-wideband radio frequency power amplifier nonlinear characteristic extraction device. Background technique [0002] Modern broadband wireless communication systems widely use non-constant envelope modulation methods such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The linearity requirement of the RF power amplifier in the system is very high. Digital pre-distortion technology can not only ensure that the RF power amplifier works in a high-efficiency state, but also effectively improve its linearity, and is currently widely used in wireless communication systems. [0003] In the digital predistortion technology, in order to perform linearization modeling, at least the third-order intermodulation signal (IMD3) of the RF power amplifier must be obtained first, that is, the nonlinear characteristics of the RF ...
