[0002] In order to improve the performance of the dynamic error vector magnitude (EVM) of a Wi-Fi transmitter, current methods mainly involve performing some circuit optimizations in the design of radio frequency devices to minimize the time it takes for the PA to reach a stable operating point from startup, reducing the impact on DEVM, or using a method of delaying the signal. After waiting for the PA to reach the stable operating point, the signal is then input to the PA, which is equivalent to turning on the PA in advance. However, the first method requires re-designing the radio frequency device, which is costly and cannot completely control the impact of the PA stabilization time at a low level.

[0028] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a signal amplitude pre-compensation method, device, Wi-Fi transmitter, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium. Aiming at the amplitude drift characteristic of the transmitter caused by the PA stabilization time, a digital amplitude pre-compensation method for Wi-Fi signals is adopted, which has a simple structure, is flexible, has strong adaptability, and has good compensation performance, and can effectively improve the transmission quality of the Wi-Fi transmitter.

[0030] This technology can be implemented in corresponding software, hardware, and a combination of software and hardware. The embodiments of the present application are introduced in detail below.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which is a flowchart of a signal amplitude pre-compensation method provided by the embodiments of the present application. This signal amplitude pre-compensation method can be applied to a Wi-Fi transmitter, and this signal amplitude pre-compensation method may include the following content:

[0032] Step 101: Obtain the Wi-Fi signal to be sent.

[0033] Step 102: Based on the amplitude pre-compensation table, perform amplitude pre-compensation on the Wi-Fi signal within multiple preset time periods.

[0034] In a Wi-Fi transmitter, the time-division duplex mode is generally adopted in Wi-Fi communication. When the Wi-Fi transmitter sends a Wi-Fi signal, the device needs to switch from RX (Receive) to TX (Transport). During the switching process, the power amplifier (PA) is turned on. It takes a certain amount of time for the PA to reach the stable operating point from being turned on. At this time, the signal has already entered the PA. During the stabilization process of the PA, it will affect the amplitude of the signal, which is manifested as the amplitude of the signal gradually rising until it is stable in time, that is, the amplitude drift characteristic. Although the amplitude drift is very small, it will also affect the transmission quality of the Wi-Fi transmitter and the performance of the dynamic error vector magnitude (EVM).

[0035] In order to reduce the amplitude drift generated by the PA, an amplitude pre-compensation table is configured in the Wi-Fi transmitter. The amplitude pre-compensation table is determined according to the amplitude drift characteristic corresponding to the power amplifier in the Wi-Fi transmitter. The amplitude pre-compensation table represents the corresponding relationship between multiple preset time periods and amplitude pre-compensation values. Within multiple preset time periods, perform amplitude pre-compensation on the Wi-Fi signal in terms of time, and input the compensated Wi-Fi signal into the PA to offset the amplitude drift generated during the stabilization process of the PA, effectively improving the transmission quality of the Wi-Fi transmitter.

[0036] The generation process of the amplitude pre-compensation table is introduced below.

[0037] As an alternative implementation, the signal amplitude pre-compensation method provided by the embodiments of the present application may further include the following:

[0038] A1: Determine the response curve of power to time based on the calibration signal and the feedback signal.

[0039] A2: Generate the amplitude pre-compensation table according to the response curve of power to time.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the calibration signal is a single-tone signal, the feedback signal is the output signal obtained after the calibration signal is input to the power amplifier, and the response curve of power to time is used to characterize the amplitude drift characteristic of the power amplifier.

[0041] When the Wi-Fi transmitter is powered on and initialized, initialize self-calibration. Configure the digital side and transmit a single-tone signal (i.e., the calibration signal). When transmitting the single-tone signal, synchronously turn on the power amplifier PA. After obtaining the feedback signal output by the power amplifier, determine the response curve of power to time based on the calibration signal and the feedback signal, and generate the amplitude pre-compensation table according to the response curve of power to time.

[0042] Further, the above step A1 may include the following:

[0043] B1: Correlate the calibration signal and the feedback signal within each preset time period to obtain the corresponding correlation values within each preset time period.

[0044] B2: Fit and determine the response curve of power to time according to the corresponding correlation values within each preset time period and each preset time period.

[0045] In the above step B1, as Figure 2 shown, after obtaining the calibration signal and the feedback signal, cut off the loop delay ( Figure 2 Delay in Figure 2 ), and perform segmented correlation according to the preset time length ( Len in

[0046]

[0047] In the above step B2, as Figure 3As shown, after determining the corresponding correlation values within each preset time period, calculate the average power within each preset time period. Use the average power as the ordinate and select a time point (e.g., the middle moment of the preset time period) within the preset time period corresponding to the average power as the abscissa, and multiple data points (i.e., Figure 3 the multiple points in

[0048] Further, as an alternative implementation, step B2 above may include the following:

[0049] Use a multi-order polynomial to fit the corresponding correlation values within each preset time period and each preset time period to obtain the response curve of power versus time.

[0050] Due to various interferences, there is a certain fluctuation between the determined multiple data points. In order to more accurately restore the curve of power changing with time, use a multi-order polynomial to fit the determined multiple data points to obtain the response curve of power versus time (i.e., Figure 3 the curve in

[0051] It should be noted that the order of the multi-order polynomial in the embodiments of the present application is not specifically limited. For example, a 5th-order, 6th-order, or 7th-order polynomial can be used to fit the determined multiple data points to obtain the response curve of power versus time.

[0052] In step A2 above, after determining the response curve of power versus time, during the stabilization process of PA, it will affect the amplitude of the signal. Temporally, it is manifested as the amplitude of the signal gradually rising until it stabilizes, and on the response curve of power versus time, it is manifested as the power of the signal gradually rising until it stabilizes.

[0053] Interpolate the response curve of power versus time to obtain the smoothed power value for each preset time period. The power value that reaches stability on the response curve of power versus time (e.g., Figure 3 -0.03 dB in

[0054] is the compensation target, that is, after compensating the Wi-Fi signal in each preset time period, the power value of the compensated Wi-Fi signal is equal to the power value that reaches stability on the response curve of power versus time. According to the above compensation target and the smoothed power value for each preset time period, determine the amplitude pre-compensation value for each preset time period, and save the amplitude pre-compensation value for each preset time period and the corresponding preset time period to generate an amplitude pre-compensation table.

[0055] For each preset time period, determine the amplitude pre-compensation value corresponding to the preset time period according to the amplitude pre-compensation table;

[0056] Multiply the Wi-Fi signal within the preset time period by the amplitude pre-compensation value corresponding to the preset time period to obtain the Wi-Fi signal with amplitude pre-compensation within the preset time period.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, starting from the starting position of the Wi-Fi signal, according to the preset time period, read the amplitude pre-compensation value corresponding to the preset time period from the amplitude pre-compensation table, multiply the Wi-Fi signal within the preset time period by the amplitude pre-compensation value corresponding to the preset time period to obtain the Wi-Fi signal with amplitude pre-compensation within the preset time period. Then enter the next preset time period, read the next amplitude pre-compensation value, and repeat the above steps until the Wi-Fi signals within all preset time periods are amplitude pre-compensated.

[0058] It should be noted that the multiple preset time periods for amplitude pre-compensation of the Wi-Fi signal to be sent are the same as the multiple preset time periods for determining the amplitude pre-compensation table. The time length of each preset time period can be: 4us, 5us, 8us, etc. The number of preset time periods is determined by the length of time from when the PA in the Wi-Fi transmitter is turned on to when it stabilizes. The longer the time from when the PA is turned on to when it stabilizes, the more the number of preset time periods.

[0059] Furthermore, considering that the amplitude drift characteristics of the PA may change due to reasons such as temperature, channel, and aging, during the service gap of the Wi-Fi transmitter, periodically execute the above steps A1 - A2 to update the amplitude pre-compensation table to ensure the transmission quality of the Wi-Fi transmitter.

[0060] Furthermore, conduct actual environment tests on the radio frequency devices, and the test results are as Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Figure 5 is the EVM of the Wi-Fi transmitter when the signal amplitude pre-compensation method provided by the embodiments of the present application is not used for signal transmission. The vertical axis is the EVM, and the horizontal axis is the number of data symbols sent. Due to the amplitude drift characteristics generated from when the PA is turned on to when it stabilizes, which affect the signal EVM index, it can be seen that the EVM shows a trend of rapidly deteriorating to stabilizing, and the overall EVM stabilizes at -37.5dB. Figure 6 is the EVM of the Wi-Fi transmitter after amplitude pre-compensation using the signal amplitude pre-compensation method provided by the embodiments of the present application. After amplitude pre-compensation, the EVM of the transmitted signal is basically stable and is improved to about -44.5dB. Thus, it can be seen that using the signal amplitude pre-compensation method provided by the embodiments of the present application can effectively improve the transmission quality of the Wi-Fi transmitter.
