Problems solved by technology

However, since the energy storage elements in the switching converter have a certain response time, if the reference of the switching converter is directly generated from the filtered signal, the required switching converter operating frequency is too high, resulting in a decrease in efficiency and a large workload for hardware calculations And the tracking accuracy is not guaranteed

Embodiment 1

[0044] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a typical envelope tracking power supply architecture. If the RF envelope signal generated by the envelope detection link is directly used as the reference signal of the switching converter after filtering, the amount of hardware calculation is too large, and the operating frequency of the switching converter changes drastically, resulting in a decrease in efficiency. The switching converter has a certain response time due to the influence of energy storage devices such as inductors and capacitors. Objectively, the switching converter cannot track the sharply changing reference signal. Since the output power of the envelope tracking power supply is generated by a combination of a linear amplifier and a switching converter, if the reference of the switching converter is constant, its output power cannot reflect the changing characteristics of the radio frequency signal and dynamically provide appropriate energy. Therefore, how to se...

example 1

[0062] Example 1: figure 2 Generate a schematic for the reference signal when there is only one set of switching converters in an envelope tracking power supply. The envelope tracking power supply contains a set of switching converters. The RF envelope signal is filtered through low-pass or band-pass or other types of filters, by taking N times the duty cycle of the switching converter as a fixed time interval, and taking the peak value of the filtered signal in this time interval as a constant reference value, And provided to the switching converter as its reference control signal.

[0063] (2) When multiple sets of converters are included

[0064] When the envelope tracking power supply contains multiple switching converters, the RF envelope signal is filtered by multiple frequency band filters to generate multiple filter signals, and the multiple filter signals generated are respectively within a defined time interval A constant reference value is determined within, and...

[0065] Example 2: image 3 Generate a schematic for the first reference signal when two sets of switching converters are present in an envelope tracking power supply. The envelope tracking power supply contains 2 sets of switching converters. The RF envelope signal is filtered through a low-pass or band-pass or other type of filter. If the type of filter 1 is a low-pass filter, and the type of filter 2 is a high-pass filter, then the RF envelope signal passes through the low-pass filter 1 and high-pass filter 2 respectively to obtain signals 1 and 2, by taking the switch N times the duty cycle of the converter is a fixed time interval, and the peak values ​​of the filtered signals 1 and 2 in this time interval are taken as constant reference values ​​to obtain Vref.1 and Vref.2, which are provided to the switching converter as its reference control signal .

Abstract

The invention discloses a reference signal generation method and system for a switching converter in an envelope tracking power supply, and the generation method comprises the steps: carrying out the filtering of an RF envelope signal through a specified frequency band filter, and generating different constant reference values according to the signal characteristics in different time intervals after filtering, and using the generated constant reference value as a reference control signal to be provided for a switching converter in the envelope tracking power supply system, so that the overall efficiency of the radio frequency power amplifier power supply system is improved. According to the method, different time intervals are divided according to the signal characteristics after RF envelope line filtering, and different constant reference values are taken in the different time intervals to generate reference signals required by the switching converter. According to the method, the calculation amount of control hardware is reduced, and the power supply efficiency of the radio frequency power amplifier of the envelope tracking power supply can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field, in particular to a method and system for generating a reference signal of a switching converter in an envelope tracking power supply. Background technique [0002] In order to increase the amount of transmitted information in the same frequency band, the modulation strategy in modern mobile communications such as 5G modulates the amplitude, phase and frequency of the RF input signal. The amplitude of the envelope of the RF input signal is not a constant signal, and the peak value of the RF signal The average ratio continued to increase. In order to ensure that the information carried by the RF input signal is transmitted without distortion, if a constant voltage power supply is used for an RF linear power amplifier, its working efficiency is very low. At the same time, because the lost electric energy is dissipated in the form of heat, the base station also needs to increase the power consumption of air co...
