It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0038] The power calibration method and radio frequency system provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to communication devices with wireless communication functions, and the communication devices can be handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, customer premise equipment (Customer Premise Equipment, CPE), wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, as well as various forms of user equipment (User Equipment, UE) (for example, mobile phones), mobile stations (Mobile Station, MS), etc.
[0039] The power calibration method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable to average power tracking (Average Power Tracking, APT) technology and envelope tracking (Envelope Tracking, ET), and is also applicable to digital pre-distortion (Digital Pre-Distortion, DPD) calibration technology, and is also applicable to other suitable calibration technologies. Figure 1 A power calibration method is provided, which includes the following steps S102 to S106.
[0040] S102: Obtain the output power of the radio frequency signal after the power amplifier performs power amplification processing on the radio frequency signal.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the communication device is equipped with a power amplifier, and the power amplifier supports power amplification processing of different radio frequency signals. Among them, the radio frequency signal can be a 2G signal, a 3G signal, a 4G signal, a 5G signal, a WiFi signal, or a radio frequency signal supported by a subsequent evolution technology or other communication technology, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the output power obtained in step S102 is recorded as P1.
[0042] S104: Acquire compensation parameters of the power amplifier according to the radio frequency parameters of the radio frequency signal, the output power and a preset compensation data set.
[0043] The RF parameters are used to represent the relevant parameters of the RF signal characteristics, including but not limited to at least one of the frequency band parameters, uplink channel parameters, waveform parameters, modulation parameters, bandwidth parameters and resource block location parameters. The compensation data set is a pre-acquired data set, and the compensation data set includes multiple compensation data, each compensation data is used to represent the mapping relationship between the preset output power of the power amplifier, the RF parameters and the compensation parameters. The compensation data can be non-volatile data (Non-Volatile, NV), and the compensation data can be pre-stored in the non-volatile random access memory (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, NVRAM) of the communication device. During the application process, the compensation parameters can be extracted through experimental testing, and the mapping relationship between the compensation parameters and the corresponding preset output power and RF parameters can be established to obtain the compensation data set. In addition, the compensation parameters can be obtained by any one or more methods of table lookup, linear interpolation and linear fitting, or by other suitable methods, which are not limited here.
[0044] S106: Adjust the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, the reference calibration data and the compensation parameter.
[0045] The reference calibration data is used to represent the mapping relationship between the output power of the power amplifier and the supply voltage. The reference calibration data is pre-acquired and stored in the communication device. The reference calibration data is the original data used to calibrate the power amplifier. For RF signals with different RF parameters, the reference calibration data can be called to calibrate the output power of the power amplifier. The reference calibration data can be understood as universal calibration data, without considering the differences in RF parameters of RF signals. The reference calibration data can be expressed in the form of functions, curves, etc. Figure 2A curve diagram of reference calibration data is shown, wherein the horizontal axis represents the supply voltage V / v and the vertical axis represents the output power P / dBm. The supply voltage refers to the voltage required for the power amplifier to work normally, and can also be understood as the voltage provided by the power supply to the power amplifier.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, adjusting the power supply voltage of the power amplifier includes both reducing the power supply voltage and increasing the power supply voltage. The method for adjusting the power supply voltage can be determined according to the compensation parameter. Specifically, when the compensation parameter is a negative value, that is, when NV is less than 0, the power supply voltage of the power amplifier can be reduced to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption while meeting the transmission requirements such as linearity requirements; when the compensation parameter is a positive value, the power supply voltage of the power amplifier can be reduced, that is, when NV is greater than 0, while meeting the transmission requirements such as linearity requirements, the purpose of improving throughput can be achieved.
[0047] The above-mentioned power calibration method obtains the output power of the power amplifier after power amplification processing of the RF signal, obtains the compensation parameters of the power amplifier according to the RF parameters, output power and preset compensation data set of the RF signal, and adjusts the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, reference calibration data and compensation parameters. Since the compensation data set includes multiple compensation data that represent the mapping relationship between the preset output power, RF parameters and compensation parameters of the power amplifier, the compensation parameters corresponding to the RF parameters and output power can be obtained from the compensation data set, so that the power supply voltage of the power amplifier in the output power scenario can be adjusted based on the reference calibration data. Compared with directly calling the reference calibration data to calibrate the output power of the power amplifier, the embodiment of the present application refines the different application scenarios of the power amplifier from the RF parameters of the RF signal, so as to adaptively compensate the reference calibration data for RF signals with different RF parameters, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption and improving transmission performance.
[0048] In one embodiment, the radio frequency parameters of the radio frequency signal include at least one of a frequency band parameter, an uplink channel parameter, a waveform parameter, a modulation parameter, a bandwidth parameter, and a resource block position parameter. The frequency band parameter is used to indicate the frequency range of the radio frequency signal, and the frequency band parameter includes at least one of a low frequency band (LB), a middle frequency band (MB), a high frequency band (HB), an ultra high frequency band (UHB), and a millimeter wave band.
[0049] The uplink channel parameters are used to indicate the channel-related parameters for a communication device to send a radio frequency signal to other communication devices. The uplink channel parameters include at least one of a physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH), a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH), and a sounding reference signal (Sounding Reference signal, SRS).
[0050] The waveform parameters are used to represent the waveform of the radio frequency signal, and the waveform parameters include at least one of a discrete Fourier transform spread spectrum orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread Orthogonal frequency-divisionmultiplexing, DFT-S-OFDM) waveform and a cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Cyclic Prefix OFDM, CP-OFDM) waveform.
[0051] The modulation parameters are used to indicate the modulation method of the RF signal. The modulation parameters include binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), such as 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM.
[0052] The bandwidth parameter refers to the channel width of the RF signal, that is, the bandwidth. The bandwidth of the RF signal ranges from 5 MHz to 100 MHz, as shown in Table 1 below.
[0053] Table 1 Channel bandwidth
[0054]
[0055] The resource block (RB) position parameter is used to indicate the resource block position where the RF signal is located. The resource block position parameter may include edge RB, Outer RB, and Inner RB. Table 2 shows the DFT-S-OFDM waveform (abbreviated as DFT) and CP-OFDM waveform (abbreviated as CP) corresponding to different modulation modes and RB positions.

[0057]
[0058] The above-mentioned power calibration method divides the RF signal from multiple different dimensions through the frequency band parameters, uplink channel parameters, waveform parameters, modulation parameters, bandwidth parameters and resource block position parameters of the RF signal. Different scenarios in which the power amplifier performs power amplification processing on the RF signal can be subdivided according to these parameters, so that the output power of the power amplifier working in different scenarios is adaptively compensated according to the compensation data sets corresponding to different parameters. Compared with the related art, for different RF parameters such as DFT waveform and CP waveform, regardless of the modulation mode, the same reference calibration data is called, that is, the same set of output power and supply voltage is used. The calibration method provided in the embodiment of the present application subdivides the frequency band, uplink channel, waveform, modulation method, channel bandwidth and resource block position of the RF signal supported by the power amplifier, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption and increasing power to improve throughput.
[0059] In one embodiment, the compensation data set includes one of a power compensation data set and a voltage compensation data set. Among them, each power compensation data in the power compensation data set is used to represent the mapping relationship between the preset output power of the power amplifier, the radio frequency parameters and the compensation power, and each voltage compensation data in the voltage compensation data set is used to represent the mapping relationship between the preset output power of the power amplifier, the radio frequency parameters and the compensation voltage. In practical applications, the communication device can store at least one of the power compensation data set and the voltage compensation data set. During the calibration process, the communication device can select one from the power compensation data set and the voltage compensation data set, and use the compensation voltage or the compensation power to adjust the power supply voltage of the power amplifier. Based on the power compensation data set and the voltage compensation data set, the power supply voltage of the power amplifier can be adjusted by the compensation voltage from the dimension of the power supply voltage on the basis of the reference calibration data, and the power supply voltage of the power amplifier can be adjusted by the compensation power from the dimension of the output power on the basis of the reference calibration data, that is, the output power of the power amplifier is calibrated from the two dimensions of output power or supply voltage to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption and improving throughput, thereby improving the diversity of power calibration methods.
[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, in the case where the compensation data set includes a voltage compensation data set, the power calibration method may include the following steps S302 to S310.
[0061] S302: Obtain the output power of the power amplifier after the power amplifier performs power amplification processing on the radio frequency signal.
[0062] In actual applications, the communication device sends the output power from the network side to the physical layer, so that the power supply voltage to be adjusted is calculated through the physical layer. This step is the same as the aforementioned step S102, and will not be repeated here.
[0063] S304: Obtain a compensation voltage of a power amplifier according to the radio frequency parameters of the radio frequency signal, the output power and a preset voltage compensation data set.
[0064] The voltage compensation data represents the mapping relationship between the preset output power of the power amplifier, the RF parameters of the RF signal, and the compensation voltage. Therefore, the corresponding compensation voltage can be obtained from the voltage compensation data set according to the output power of the power amplifier and the RF parameters of the RF signal. In the embodiment of the present application, the compensation voltage is recorded as ΔV. ΔV can be a negative value or a positive value.
[0065] S306: Acquire a calibration voltage corresponding to the output power according to the output power and the reference calibration data.
[0066] The calibration voltage refers to the supply voltage corresponding to the output power stored in the reference calibration data. The calibration voltage can be understood as the reference voltage used for calibration before compensation, or in other words, the calibration voltage is the voltage used to calibrate the power amplifier without considering the RF parameters of the RF signal. Figure 2 Taking the reference calibration data shown as an example, if the output power of the power amplifier obtained based on step S302 is 16.5dBm, the calibration voltage corresponding to the output power can be obtained as the calibration voltage Vd corresponding to point D; if the output power of the power amplifier obtained based on step S302 is 23dBm, the calibration voltage corresponding to the output power can be obtained as the calibration voltage Va corresponding to point A. In the embodiment of the present application, the calibration voltage is recorded as V1.
[0067] S308: Obtain a first target voltage of the power amplifier according to the calibration voltage and the compensation voltage.
[0068] The first target voltage is the voltage after the calibration voltage is compensated by the compensation voltage. In the embodiment of the present application, the first target voltage is recorded as V2. The first target voltage is positively correlated with the calibration voltage. Exemplarily, the first target voltage is the sum of the calibration voltage and the compensation voltage, that is, V2=V1+ΔV.
[0069] S310: Adjust the power supply voltage of the power amplifier to a first target voltage to supply power to the power amplifier.
[0070] When the compensation voltage ΔV is a negative value, the first target voltage is negatively correlated with the compensation voltage, and the first target voltage is less than the calibration voltage, that is, V2<V1. Therefore, on the basis of the calibration voltage, the calibration voltage is further reduced, and the power supply voltage of the power amplifier is adjusted to the first target voltage, and the power amplifier is powered by the first target voltage.
[0071] When the compensation voltage ΔV is a positive value, the first target voltage is positively correlated with the compensation voltage, and the first target voltage is greater than the calibration voltage, that is, V2>V1. Therefore, on the basis of the calibration voltage, the calibration voltage is further increased, and the power supply voltage of the power amplifier is adjusted to the first target voltage, and the power amplifier is powered by the first target voltage.
[0072] The power calibration method obtains the output power of the power amplifier after power amplification of the RF signal, obtains the compensation voltage of the power amplifier according to the RF parameters, output power and voltage compensation data set of the RF signal, and adjusts the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, reference calibration data and compensation voltage. Since the voltage compensation data set includes multiple voltage compensation data representing the mapping relationship between the preset output power, RF parameters and compensation voltage of the power amplifier, the compensation voltage corresponding to the RF parameters and output power can be obtained from the voltage compensation data set, so that the power supply voltage of the power amplifier in the output power scenario can be adjusted based on the reference calibration data. When the compensation voltage is a negative value, the calibration voltage is reduced to reduce the power supply voltage of the power amplifier. voltage, so that the power amplifier can reduce power consumption while meeting RF signal transmission requirements such as linearity requirements; and when the compensation voltage is a positive value, the calibration voltage is increased to increase the supply voltage of the power amplifier, so that the power amplifier can meet RF signal transmission requirements such as linearity requirements. The requirements can increase the output power of the power amplifier to improve the throughput of the communication device, thereby improving the transmission performance of the communication device. Compared with directly calling the calibration voltage in the reference calibration data to calibrate the output power of the power amplifier, the embodiment of the present application refines different application scenarios of the power amplifier from the RF parameters of the RF signal, so as to adaptively compensate the calibration voltage for RF signals with different RF parameters using the compensation voltage, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption and improving transmission performance.
[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, in the case where the compensation data set includes a power compensation data set, the power calibration method may include the following steps S402 to S410.
[0074] S402: Obtain the output power of the power amplifier after the power amplifier performs power amplification processing on the radio frequency signal. This step is the same as the above step S102, and will not be repeated here.
[0075] S404: Obtain compensation power of the power amplifier according to the radio frequency parameters of the radio frequency signal, the output power and a preset power compensation data set.
[0076] The power compensation data represents the mapping relationship between the preset output power of the power amplifier, the RF parameters of the RF signal, and the compensation power. Therefore, the corresponding compensation power can be obtained from the power compensation data set according to the output power of the power amplifier and the RF parameters of the RF signal. In the embodiment of the present application, the compensation power is recorded as ΔP. ΔP can be a negative value or a positive value.
[0077] S406: Obtain a target power of the power amplifier according to the output power and the compensation power.
[0078] The target power is the power after the output power is compensated by the compensation power. In the embodiment of the present application, the target power is recorded as P2. The target power is positively correlated with the output power. Exemplarily, the target power is the sum of the output power and the compensation power, that is, P2 = P1 + ΔP.
[0079] When the compensation power ΔP is a negative value, the target power is negatively correlated with the compensation power, and the target power is less than the output power, that is, P2 < P1. When the compensation power ΔP is a positive value, the target power is positively correlated with the compensation power, and the target power is greater than the output power, that is, P2 > P1.
[0080] S408: Acquire a second target voltage corresponding to the target power according to the target power and the reference calibration data.
[0081] The second target voltage is a target power after the output power is compensated by the compensation power, and is a voltage corresponding to the target power obtained according to the reference calibration data. Figure 2 As an example, if the output power of the power amplifier obtained based on step S402 is the power at point C, and the target power of the power amplifier obtained based on steps S404 and S406 is the power at point A, then according to Figure 2 The reference calibration data shown can obtain the voltage corresponding to point A as the second target voltage. It can be understood that the voltage corresponding to point C is Figure 2 The reference calibration data shown is a calibration value provided, and the voltage corresponding to point A is a calibration value obtained after compensating and adjusting point C based on point C using the power calibration method provided in this application.
[0082] S410: Adjust the power supply voltage of the power amplifier to a calibration voltage to power the power amplifier.
[0083] The power calibration method obtains the output power of the power amplifier after power amplification of the RF signal, obtains the compensation power of the power amplifier according to the RF parameters, output power and power compensation data set of the RF signal, and adjusts the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, reference calibration data and compensation power. Since the power compensation data set includes multiple power compensation data representing the mapping relationship between the preset output power, RF parameters and compensation power of the power amplifier, the compensation power corresponding to the RF parameters and output power can be obtained from the power compensation data set, so that the power supply voltage of the power amplifier in the output power scenario can be adjusted based on the reference calibration data. When the compensation power is a negative value, the calibration power is reduced to reduce the power supply voltage of the power amplifier. voltage, so that the power amplifier can reduce power consumption while meeting RF signal transmission requirements such as linearity requirements; and when the compensation power is a positive value, the calibration power is increased to increase the supply voltage of the power amplifier, so that the power amplifier can meet RF signal transmission requirements such as linearity requirements. The requirements can increase the output power of the power amplifier to improve the throughput of the communication device, thereby improving the transmission performance of the communication device. Compared with directly calling the calibration power in the reference calibration data to calibrate the output power of the power amplifier, the embodiment of the present application refines different application scenarios of the power amplifier from the RF parameters of the RF signal, so as to adaptively compensate the calibration voltage for RF signals with different RF parameters using the compensation power, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption and improving transmission performance.
[0084] In one embodiment, the range of the preset output power of the power amplifier includes multiple power intervals. Among them, the preset output power ranges of each power interval are different. The number of power intervals is greater than 2, for example, it can be 5, 6, 8, and any other arbitrary values. Table 3 shows that a power interval is evenly divided in units of 5dBm, with a total of 5 power intervals. In practical applications, the power intervals can also be divided in an uneven manner. In order to facilitate the acquisition of compensation parameters, each power interval can be marked with an interval identifier, and the interval identifiers of each power interval are different. For example, the 5 power intervals in Table 3 are identified by numbers 1 to 5.
[0085] Table 3 Power interval division table
[0086] Power Zone 1 20dBm~max Power Zone 2 15~20dBm Power Zone 3 10~15dBm Power Zone 4 5~10dBm Power Zone 5 0~5dBm
[0087] Each power interval is configured with multiple sub-compensation data sets, and the compensation data in each sub-compensation data set is used to represent the mapping relationship between the power interval, the RF parameters, and the compensation parameters. The number of sub-compensation data sets configured for each power interval is greater than 2, for example, it can be 3, 5, 8, etc. Exemplarily, the sub-compensation data set can be represented in a table, referred to as a compensation sub-table. Different sub-compensation data sets can also be marked with different subset identifiers to obtain compensation parameters. The sub-compensation data sets can be divided using the RF parameters of the RF signal. Taking the RF parameters including frequency band parameters as an example, the sub-compensation data sets can be divided into LB sub-compensation data sets, MB sub-compensation data sets, HB sub-compensation data sets, and UHB sub-compensation data sets.
[0088] Figure 5 Seven power intervals [0] to [6] are shown, and each power interval is configured with eight compensation sub-tables [0] to [7], wherein compensation sub-table [0] includes compensation parameters corresponding to the output power within power interval [0], the RF signal being the LB band, the waveform (DFT-S-OFDM, CP-OFDM), the modulation mode (BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM), and the resource block position (edgeRB, Outer RB, and Inner RB). Similarly, unlike compensation sub-table [0], compensation sub-tables [1] to [3] correspond to MB, HB, and UHB, respectively, and compensation sub-tables [4] and [5] correspond to some special frequency bands such as band3 and band28. Compensation sub-tables [4] and [5] are used as backup tables (reverse). In practical applications, taking the power amplifier performing power amplification processing on the RF signal of band1 as an example, first find out that its output power is in the power interval [0], and then band1 belongs to the LB frequency band, then the compensation sub-table index value idx corresponding to band1 is 1, that is, find the compensation parameter NV from the compensation sub-table [1] according to the waveform, modulation mode and resource block position of the RF signal. Table 4 shows Figure 5 The correspondence between various frequency bands and compensation sub-table index values.

[0091] In practical applications, we can use Figure 5 The method shown stores compensation data corresponding to multiple typical output power points, and compensation parameters corresponding to other output power points can be obtained by linear interpolation or curve fitting, etc., which is not limited here.
[0092] The above-mentioned power calibration method divides the preset output power of the power amplifier in the form of power intervals, and represents the mapping relationship between the power intervals, the RF parameters of the RF signal and the compensation parameters in combination with the sub-compensation data set. During the power calibration process, the compensation parameters can be obtained by indexing the power intervals and the sub-compensation data set, and the power supply voltage of the power amplifier can be adjusted, thereby improving the data processing rate.
[0093] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the power calibration method may further include the following steps S602 to S606 to obtain a compensation data set.
[0094] S602: Obtain a first reference supply voltage when the power amplifier is at output power and a linearity parameter satisfies a preset linearity condition.
[0095] The linearity parameter is used to indicate the linearity of the power amplifier. Exemplarily, the linearity parameter includes an adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR). The preset linearity condition is preset and can be set according to the application scenario of the power amplifier. Exemplarily, the linearity parameter satisfies the preset linearity condition for the linearity parameter to be less than a preset linearity threshold. For example, if the linearity parameter is ACLR and the preset linearity threshold is set to -33dBc, then the ACLR of the power amplifier is less than -33dBc, indicating that the linearity parameter of the power amplifier satisfies the preset linearity condition.
[0096] The first reference supply voltage refers to the supply voltage at which the linearity parameter of the power amplifier meets the preset linearity condition at the output power. For example, the first reference supply voltage may be the minimum supply voltage at which the power amplifier meets the preset linearity condition at the output power. It can be understood that the linearity of the power amplifier is good at the output power, and the supply voltage can be appropriately reduced to reduce the power consumption of the power amplifier under the premise that the linearity parameter meets the preset linearity condition.
[0097] S604: Acquire compensation parameters according to the output power, the first reference supply voltage and the reference calibration data.
[0098] The compensation parameter includes compensation voltage or compensation power. Taking the compensation parameter as compensation voltage as an example, Figure 7As shown, the solid line represents the reference calibration data, and the dotted line represents the first reference supply voltage of the radio frequency signal RF1 (for example, RF1 has a CP waveform, QPSK, and RB1 position) at each output power and the linear parameters meet the preset linear conditions. For example, when the output power of the power amplifier is 24.7dBm, according to the solid line, the calibration voltage corresponding to the output power is the voltage at point A Va, and at the same output power, according to the dotted line, the first reference supply voltage of the radio frequency signal RF1 is the voltage at point B Vb, then the compensation parameter ΔV1=Vb-Va<0; when the output power of the power amplifier is 16.5dBm, according to the solid line, the calibration voltage corresponding to the output power is the voltage at point C Vc, and at the same output power, according to the dotted line, the first reference supply voltage of the radio frequency signal RF1 is the voltage at point D Vd, then the compensation parameter ΔV2=Vd-Vc<0.
[0099] Take the compensation parameter as compensation power as an example, Figure 8 As shown, the solid line represents the reference calibration data, and the dotted line represents the first reference supply voltage of the RF signal RF1 at each output power and the linear parameters satisfy the preset linear condition. For example, when the output power of the power amplifier is 24.7dBm, according to the solid line, the output power corresponds to point A, and according to the dotted line, the first reference supply voltage of the RF signal RF1 at the output power is the voltage Vb at point B, and according to the solid line, the calibration power corresponding to the first reference supply voltage Vb is the power Pc at point C, then the compensation parameter ΔP1=Pc-Pa<0; when the output power of the power amplifier is 16.5dBm, according to the solid line, the output power corresponds to point D, and according to the dotted line, the first reference supply voltage of the RF signal RF1 at the output power is the voltage Ve at point E, and according to the solid line, the calibration power corresponding to the first reference supply voltage Ve is the power Pf at point F, then the compensation parameter ΔP2=Pf-Pd<0.
[0100] S606: Acquire a compensation data set according to the radio frequency parameters, output power and compensation parameters.
[0101] After the compensation parameters are obtained based on the above steps, a mapping relationship among the RF parameters, the output power and the compensation parameters is established, thereby obtaining a compensation data set.
[0102] The above-mentioned power calibration method obtains the first reference supply voltage of the power amplifier under the output power and when the linearity parameters meet the preset linear conditions, and obtains the compensation parameters according to the output power, the first reference supply voltage and the reference calibration data, and obtains the compensation data set according to the RF parameters, the output power and the compensation parameters. Therefore, on the basis of the reference calibration data, the corresponding compensation parameters can be obtained from the compensation data set according to the RF parameters and the output power, and the reference calibration data can be compensated to adjust the supply voltage of the power amplifier and realize the calibration of the output power of the power amplifier. In this way, when the linearity meets the requirements, it can be decoupled from the MPR to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption.
[0103] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the power calibration method may further include the following steps S902 to S906.
[0104] S902: When the signal strength of the radio frequency signal is less than a preset strength threshold, increase the output power according to a preset power step.
[0105] The signal strength of the RF signal is less than the preset strength threshold, indicating that the spatial path attenuation of the RF signal is large, resulting in a low Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) value called by the network, and the throughput of the communication equipment is poor. In this case, the embodiment of the present application increases the output power by preset power to obtain better signal quality and achieve higher throughput performance. Among them, the preset power step is used to indicate the increase in output power, and can also be understood as the reduction in maximum power reduction (MPR). The preset power step is pre-set and can be set by experiment. For example, the preset power step can be set to 1dBm, 2dBm, and 5dBm. The size of the preset power step affects the increase in output power.
[0106] S904: Obtain a second reference supply voltage when the power amplifier is under increased output power and the linearity parameter satisfies a preset linearity condition.
[0107] The second reference supply voltage refers to the supply voltage whose linearity parameter satisfies the preset linearity condition under the increased output power of the power amplifier. For example, the second reference supply voltage may be the minimum supply voltage under the increased output power of the power amplifier and whose linearity parameter satisfies the preset linearity condition. It can be understood that after the output power of the power amplifier is increased, in order to meet the preset linearity condition, the supply voltage may be appropriately increased to improve the signal quality while also meeting the linearity requirement. The preset linearity condition may refer to the relevant content of the aforementioned step S602, which will not be described in detail here.
[0108] S906: Acquire compensation parameters according to the output power, the second reference supply voltage and the reference calibration data.
[0109] Take the compensation voltage as an example, Fig.10 As shown, the curve represents the reference calibration data. For example, when the output power of the power amplifier after power amplification of the RF signal RF2 (for example, DFT waveform, 256QAM, RB2 position) is 16.5dBm, according to the curve, the output power corresponds to point E, the MPR is reduced by 2dBm, and the output power is increased to 18.5dBm corresponding to point F. According to the curve, the calibration voltage when the output power is 18.5dBm is the voltage Vg at point G. The linearity of point G may not meet the requirements due to high-order modulation and other reasons. According to experimental measurements, the second reference supply voltage required to meet the preset linear condition is the voltage Vh at point H. Therefore, the compensation voltage ΔV3=Vh-Vg>0.
[0110] Take the compensation parameter as compensation power as an example, Fig.11 As shown, the curve represents the reference calibration data. For example, when the output power of the power amplifier after power amplification of the RF signal RF2 (for example, DFT waveform, 256QAM, RB2 position) is 16.5dBm, according to the curve, the output power corresponds to point G, the MPR is reduced by 2dBm, and the output power is increased to 18.5dBm. According to the curve, the calibration voltage when the output power is 18.5dBm is the voltage Vh at point H. The linearity at point H may not meet the requirements due to high-order modulation and other reasons. According to experimental measurements, the second reference supply voltage required to meet the preset linear condition is the voltage Vm at point M. According to the curve, the calibration power when the voltage is Vm is the power Pn at point N. Therefore, the compensation power ΔP3=Pn-Ph>0.
[0111] S908: Acquire a compensation data set according to the radio frequency parameters, the increased output power, and the compensation parameters.
[0112] After the compensation parameters are obtained based on the above steps, a mapping relationship among the RF parameters, the output power and the compensation parameters is established, thereby obtaining a compensation data set.
[0113] The above-mentioned power calibration method, when the signal strength of the RF signal is less than the preset strength threshold, increases the output power according to the preset power step, obtains the second reference supply voltage of the power amplifier under the increased output power and the linearity parameter that meets the preset linear condition, and obtains the compensation parameters according to the output power, the second reference supply voltage and the reference calibration data, and obtains the compensation data set according to the RF parameters, the increased output power and the compensation parameters, so that on the basis of the reference calibration data, the corresponding compensation parameters can be obtained from the compensation data set according to the RF parameters and the output power, and the reference calibration data can be compensated to adjust the power supply voltage of the power amplifier to realize the calibration of the output power of the power amplifier. In this way, the purpose of improving the throughput can be achieved by increasing the output power of the power amplifier when the linearity meets the requirements, thereby improving the transmission performance of the communication equipment. Exemplarily, for different modulated signals at the same power, such as a DFT-S-OFDM signal and a CP-OFDM signal, in order to achieve the same linearity, that is, the same ACLR, since the peak-to-average ratio of the CP-OFDM signal is larger than that of the DFT-S-OFDM signal, the power calibration method provided in the above embodiment can be adopted. For the DFT-S-OFDM signal and the CP-OFDM signal with the same linearity requirements, the power supply voltage of the power amplifier can be increased for the CP-OFDM signal to further improve the linearity of the CP-OFDM signal, so as to achieve the same output power and the same linearity.
[0114] In one embodiment, the power calibration method may further include: a step of obtaining the signal strength of the radio frequency signal output by the power amplifier. Based on this, step S106 "adjusting the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, reference calibration data and the compensation parameter" may include: when the signal strength is greater than a first strength threshold, reducing the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, reference calibration data and compensation parameters, and when the signal strength is less than a second strength threshold, increasing the power supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the output power, reference calibration data and compensation parameters.
[0115] Among them, the second strength threshold is greater than or equal to the first strength threshold, and the first strength threshold and the second strength threshold are pre-set and can be obtained through experiments. The signal strength of the RF signal is greater than the first preset strength threshold, indicating that the strength of the RF signal is weak, the signal quality is good, and it meets the transmission requirements of the communication device. In this case, the power consumption of the power amplifier can be optimized, that is, by reducing the power supply voltage of the power amplifier through a compensation parameter with a negative value, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption. The signal strength of the RF signal is less than the second preset strength threshold, indicating that the strength of the RF signal is high, the signal quality is poor, and it does not meet the transmission requirements of the communication device. In this case, the power of the power amplifier can be optimized, that is, by increasing the power supply voltage of the power amplifier through a compensation parameter with a positive value, thereby increasing the output power of the power amplifier, increasing the throughput of the communication device, and then improving the transmission performance of the communication device.
[0116] The above-mentioned power calibration method obtains the signal strength of the RF signal output by the power amplifier and determines the strength of the RF signal by threshold comparison. In the case of a strong signal scenario, the power supply voltage of the power amplifier is reduced by a compensation parameter with a negative value, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption while meeting the linearity requirement; and in the case of a weak signal scenario, the power supply voltage of the power amplifier is increased by a compensation parameter with a positive value, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing power while meeting the linearity requirement, thereby improving the throughput of the communication equipment and improving the transmission performance.

[0121] For the radio frequency signal RF6 of the PUCCH channel, the radio frequency signal RF6 has a CP waveform, a modulation method of 64QAM, and a resource block position of RB6. The output power of the radio frequency signal RF6 after the power amplifier performs power amplification processing is 16.5dBm corresponding to Fig.11Then, the signal strength of the RF signal RF6 is obtained, and if the signal strength is less than the second strength threshold, the power optimization mode is adopted. In the power optimization scenario, the MPR is reduced by 2dBm, and the output power is increased to 18.5dBm.
