[0071] Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a polar coordinate-based range finder transmitting device is provided in the embodiments of the present application. As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The device includes a baseband signal processing module 101, an amplitude drive control module 102, a phase signal processing module 103, and a power amplification module 104. The baseband signal processing module 101 is connected with the amplitude drive control module 102 and the phase signal processing module 103 respectively. The amplitude drive control module 102 and the phase signal processing module 103 are also connected with the power amplification module 104 respectively.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the polar coordinate-based range finder transmitting device is composed of the baseband signal processing module 101, the amplitude drive control module 102, the phase signal processing module 103, and the power amplification module 104. The modules are electrically connected together. Each module can be integrated on one printed circuit board, or multiple independent circuit boards can be connected through an interface.

[0073] The baseband signal processing module 101 is used to obtain a baseband signal, decompose and convert the baseband signal, generate an amplitude signal and a phase signal, send the amplitude signal to the amplitude drive control module 102, and send the phase signal to the phase signal processing module 103.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the baseband signal processing module 101 can select a digital signal processor chip or a field programmable gate array. The baseband signal processing module 101 obtains a baseband signal from an external signal source. The baseband signal is decomposed and converted by running a pre-written signal processing algorithm program internally. For example, the baseband signal can be converted from the time domain to the frequency domain by performing Fourier transform on the baseband signal. The frequency spectrum components of the signal can be efficiently calculated by the fast Fourier transform algorithm.

[0075] In the frequency domain, the signal is decomposed into in-phase components and quadrature components. For example, the baseband signal is multiplied by a carrier signal of a specific frequency, and the high-frequency components are filtered out to obtain the in-phase component and the quadrature component.

[0076] According to the in-phase component and the quadrature component obtained by decomposition, the amplitude signal is obtained by square root operation.

[0077] In actual calculation, since the arctan function calculation is relatively complex, the present application designs a method for approximating the phase signal by looking up a table. The lookup table pre-stores phase values corresponding to different ratios of in-phase component and quadrature component. By inputting the ratio of in-phase component and quadrature component, the corresponding phase signal is quickly obtained from the lookup table.

[0078] The generated amplitude signal and phase signal are sent to the amplitude drive control module 102 and the phase signal processing module 103, respectively, through a data bus or a dedicated signal line. In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission, differential signal transmission technology can be used.

[0079] The amplitude drive control module 102 is configured to receive the amplitude signal, perform pulse width modulation and voltage amplification processing on the amplitude signal, obtain a pulse width modulation signal, and send the pulse width modulation signal to the power amplification module 104.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the amplitude drive control module 102 mainly consists of a pulse width modulation controller and a voltage amplification circuit. The pulse width modulation controller can select a dedicated integrated circuit chip. The voltage amplification circuit can use a power operational amplifier or a transistor amplification circuit.

[0081] After the amplitude drive control module 102 receives the amplitude signal, the pulse width modulation controller compares the amplitude signal with the internal high-frequency carrier signal to generate a pulse width modulation signal. The pulse width of the signal is proportional to the size of the amplitude signal. Then, the voltage amplification circuit performs voltage amplification on the pulse width modulation signal to make it reach the required input level of the power amplification module 104.

[0082] The processed pulse width modulation signal is sent to the power amplification module 104 through a signal line, ensuring that the signal transmission process is not disturbed.

[0083] The phase signal processing module 103 is configured to receive a phase signal, perform phase offset and digital-to-analog conversion on the phase signal, obtain a radio frequency signal, and send the radio frequency signal to the power amplification module 104.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, the phase signal processing module 103 includes a phase offset circuit and a digital-to-analog conversion chip. The phase offset circuit can be implemented by using a digital logic circuit or an analog circuit, and the digital-to-analog conversion chip can be selected from high-precision chips.

[0085] After the phase signal processing module 103 receives the phase signal, the phase offset circuit performs offset processing on the phase signal according to a preset phase offset value. Then, the digital-to-analog conversion chip converts the offset digital phase signal into an analog radio frequency signal. The generated radio frequency signal is sent to the power amplification module 104 through a radio frequency transmission line.

[0086] The power amplification module 104 is configured to receive a pulse width modulation signal and a radio frequency signal, perform drain amplification processing on a target transmission signal according to the pulse width modulation signal, and perform switch mode amplification processing on the target transmission signal according to the radio frequency signal, and then transmit the target transmission signal.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the power amplification module 104 can use a radio frequency power transistor or a power amplifier chip, and the power amplification module 104 uses a high-efficiency gallium nitride device power amplifier, such as a class-D power amplifier or a class-E power amplifier.

[0088] After the power amplification module 104 receives the pulse width modulation signal and the radio frequency signal, the target transmission signal is subjected to drain amplification processing and switch mode amplification processing, respectively. The drain amplification processing is used to adjust the amplitude of the signal, and the switch mode amplification processing is used to improve the power efficiency of the signal. The pulse width modulation signal controls the drain voltage of the power amplification module 104, so that the transistor works in a linear amplification region. When the amplitude of the pulse width modulation signal changes, the drain current of the transistor also changes accordingly, thereby amplifying the amplitude of the target transmission signal. The radio frequency signal controls the switch state of the power amplification module 104, so that the power amplification module 104 quickly switches between the on state and the off state. In the on state, the power amplification module 104 transmits power energy to the load; in the off state, the power amplification module 104 hardly consumes energy, thereby realizing high-efficiency power amplification. The amplified target transmission signal is transmitted.

[0089] The application embodiment adopts polar coordinates and double-mode amplification, greatly improves efficiency, optimizes linearity, and solves the problem of low power backoff efficiency. Modular design reduces heat, without the need for forced ventilation. Reducing temperature delays aging, simplifies architecture, reduces failure, prolongs equipment life, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0092] In the application embodiment, the pulse generation unit 1011 is constructed by using a programmable gate array, and a signal processing circuit is designed by using a hardware description language. The programmable gate array can include a digital controlled oscillator.

[0093] The digital controlled oscillator generates a carrier signal and , multiplies the input baseband signal with and respectively, and finally outputs the in-phase channel signal and the quadrature channel signal through addition synthesis.

The output data of the coordinate converter unit can adopt a fiber interface.

[0097] Specifically, according to formula (2), the input in-phase channel signal and quadrature channel signal are first squared, then summed, and finally the square root is taken to obtain the amplitude signal The amplitude signal is processed, such as filtered by a moving average filtering algorithm, to eliminate abnormal values.

In combination with the pre-distortion processing of the amplitude signal by the coordinate conversion unit 1012, the signal interference is reduced, and the ranging signal accuracy is ensured.

[0128] In step 501, the baseband signal processing module 101 acquires a baseband signal, and performs decomposition and conversion processing on the baseband signal, to generate an amplitude signal and a phase signal. The amplitude signal is sent to the amplitude drive control module 102, and the phase signal is sent to the phase signal processing module 103.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, the original baseband signal is acquired from a signal source (such as a memory, other signal processing device, etc.). The baseband signal can contain key information for ranging, and its frequency, amplitude and other characteristics are related to subsequent processing and ranging functions.

[0130] The acquired baseband signal is subjected to decomposition operation. This step can adopt common methods in the field of signal processing, such as using Fourier transform to decompose the baseband signal into signal components of different frequency components, to prepare for subsequent in-phase quadrature conversion.

[0131] The decomposed signal is in-phase quadrature converted to generate an amplitude signal and a phase signal. By decomposing the signal into in-phase and quadrature components, the amplitude and phase of the signal can be more conveniently analyzed and processed. For example, using a specific conversion algorithm, the amplitude signal and the phase signal are calculated according to the characteristics of the decomposed signal.

For example, when the amplitude signal is large, the pulse width is widened accordingly; when the amplitude signal is small, the pulse width is narrowed.

[0135] The signal after pulse width modulation is voltage amplified. The voltage of the signal is raised by the amplifier to meet the input requirements of the subsequent power amplification module 104.

After processing, the target transmission signal is transmitted.

The pulse width modulation signal controls the drain voltage of the power amplifier, so that the power amplifier works in the linear amplification region, thereby amplifying the amplitude of the target transmission signal and improving the strength of the signal.

[0141] At the same time, the power amplification module 104 amplifies the target transmission signal in a switch mode according to the received radio frequency signal. The radio frequency signal controls the switching state of the power amplifier, so that the power amplifier quickly switches between the on and off states, realizes efficient power amplification, and further improves the power of the signal.

[0142] The target transmission signal processed by the drain amplification and switch mode amplification is transmitted. The electrical signal is converted into an electromagnetic wave signal and propagated in space to realize the ranging function.

[0157] In the embodiment of the present application, the method of lookup table can also be used to approximate calculation to improve the calculation speed. The lookup table pre-stores the phase values corresponding to different ratios of the quadrature path signal to the in-phase path signal, and the corresponding phase signal is quickly obtained from the lookup table by inputting the ratio of the quadrature path signal to the in-phase path signal. After obtaining the phase signal, it is transmitted to the phase signal processing module 103.

[0158] The embodiment of the present application can more accurately reflect the characteristics of the baseband signal by accurately calculating the amplitude signal and the phase signal, provide more accurate input for subsequent signal modulation and amplification, and thus improve the accuracy of distance measurement.
