Benefits of technology

[0010]The inventors have identified that only an amount of change in power of an out-band signal output from the power amplifier is required in the adaptive scalar pre-distorter without requiring any absolute power value of the out-band signal. In view of this feature, the present disclosure proposes an automatic gain control device and an automatic gain control method with improved performance and at a lowered cost as well as a power adjusting device and a radio transmitting system in which the automatic gain control device and the automatic gain control method are applied.
[0015]According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the complexity in hardware can be lowered in automatic gain control, for example, the gain of the variable gain amplifier may not necessarily be adjusted in real time, or for example, an analog-digital converter or a digital-analog converter with a lower number of bits can be used. Furthermore the performance of automatic gain control can be improved as well in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Problems solved by technology

Nonlinearity inherent to Power Amplifiers (PAs) used in radio communication systems may result in out-band spectrum spreading and in-band signal distortion of output signal power and further degrade the performance of the communication systems.

Abstract

An automatic gain control device includes: a variable gain adjusting unit, for adjusting an input signal by a variable gain and outputting an adjustment result; an analog-digital converting unit, for performing analog-digital conversion on the adjustment result to obtain an analog-digital conversion result; and a gain determining unit, for determining a distribution status over a predetermined period of time of a maximum or a minimum of the analog-digital conversion result, comparing the distribution status with a first distribution condition, and if the distribution status meets the first distribution condition, then keeping the variable gain unchanged, otherwise changing the variable gain and determining newly a distribution status until the newly determined distribution status meets a second distribution condition which is at least as strict as the first distribution condition.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of signal processing and in particular to an automatic gain control device, an automatic gain control method, a power adjusting device and a radio transmitting system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Nonlinearity inherent to Power Amplifiers (PAs) used in radio communication systems may result in out-band spectrum spreading and in-band signal distortion of output signal power and further degrade the performance of the communication systems. At present, adaptive pre-distorters have been widely used in the wireless communication systems to compensate for the effects due to the nonlinearity of the power amplifiers.[0003]An adaptive scalar pre-distorter samples out-band power of an output signal of a power amplifier and adjusts parameters of the pre-distorter adaptively to a change in power thereof to thereby achieve linearity of the power amplifier, as illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 1 illustrates a configuration of a p...
