[0035] In this embodiment, a method for power amplifier trap effect compensation is provided. Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for power amplifier trap effect compensation according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, and the process includes the following steps:
[0036] Step S201, insert a background carrier at the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier to obtain an input signal.
[0037] The input signal of the related technology generally only includes the working carrier. After the input signal of the related technology is input into the transmitting channel of the power amplifier of the radio frequency unit, it is easily affected by the power amplifier trap effect, resulting in poor quality of the output signal. To solve this problem, through step S201, the following effects can be achieved:
[0038] Protect the starting part of the signal: The power amplifier trap effect usually causes signal distortion, especially the quality degradation of the starting part of the signal. By inserting a background carrier at the frequency domain position of the guard band, certain protection can be provided at the starting part of the signal to reduce the occurrence of distortion.
[0039] Improving Signal Quality: The insertion of a background carrier can, to a certain extent, compensate for the distortion caused by the power amplifier trap effect, thereby improving the quality of the output signal. The presence of the background carrier can cancel or reduce the signal distortion caused by the trap effect, thus improving the signal modulation quality.
[0040] By inserting a background carrier, the starting part of the signal can be protected and the signal quality can be improved, thereby alleviating the problems caused by the power amplifier trap effect. This can ensure the integrity and accuracy of the signal during transmission and improve the performance and reliability of communication equipment.
[0041] Step S202: Based on the background carrier, monitor the signal quality of the output signal at the output port of the transmission channel.
[0042] In an exemplary implementation, the following method can be used to obtain the traffic load of the working carrier:
[0043] Sampling and Measurement: Use a suitable measuring device or sensor to sample and measure the working carrier at the output port of the transmission channel. Appropriate devices such as a power probe, power sensor, or power meter can be selected and connected to the output port of the transmission channel to measure the power level of the working carrier.
[0044] Power Detection and Analysis: Input the sampled working carrier into a power detection device. By performing power detection and analysis on the working carrier, obtain the power value of the working carrier. Devices such as a power meter, power analyzer, or spectrum analyzer can be used. By performing power analysis on the frequency range of the working carrier, the power spectral density or spectrum diagram of the working carrier can be obtained, from which the load condition of the working carrier can be inferred.
[0045] Step S203: When the signal quality is unqualified, obtain the traffic load of the working carrier.
[0046] Through steps S202 and S203, the following effects can be achieved:
[0047] Real-time Monitoring of Signal Quality: By monitoring the output signal at the output port of the transmission channel, the quality information of the signal can be obtained in real time. This can promptly detect the situation where the signal quality is unqualified and perform targeted adjustments and optimizations.
[0048] Early Warning and Problem Elimination: When the signal quality is unqualified, it indicates that there is a problem with the transmission channel, which may lead to signal distortion or trap effect. By obtaining the traffic load of the working carrier, the problem can be quickly located and corresponding measures can be taken for repair, thereby promptly eliminating the problem and avoiding further impact on the signal quality and transmission performance.
[0049] Improve system stability and reliability: By continuously monitoring signal quality and obtaining service loads, timely maintenance and optimization measures can be implemented to ensure that the system operates in a stable and reliable state. Reduce the occurrence of signal quality problems and improve the reliability and stability of the system.
[0050] In summary, by monitoring signal quality based on the background carrier and obtaining the service load of the working carrier, real-time monitoring, problem warning and elimination, and improvement of system stability and reliability can be achieved. These effects can enhance the performance of communication devices and ensure the normal transmission and reception of signals.
[0051] Step S204: Adjust the transmission power of the background carrier based on the service load of the working carrier to eliminate the power amplifier trap effect.
[0052] Through step S204, the following effects can be achieved:
[0053] Reduce the power amplifier trap effect: The power amplifier trap effect refers to the non-linear distortion problem caused by the power amplifier device during the signal amplification process. By adjusting the transmission power of the background carrier, the operating state of the power amplifier device can be reasonably configured according to the service load of the working carrier, reducing the occurrence of the power amplifier trap effect and thus reducing non-linear distortion.
[0054] Improve signal quality: The non-linear distortion caused by the power amplifier trap effect will lead to a decline in signal quality. For example, the power amplifier trap causes distortion in the starting part of the signal. By adjusting the transmission power of the background carrier, the non-linear distortion problem of the input signal caused by the power amplifier trap effect can be eliminated or reduced, improving the quality and accuracy of the output signal.
[0055] Optimize transmission performance: The influence of the power amplifier trap effect on signal transmission may lead to a decline in transmission performance, such as a decrease in signal fidelity or anti-interference performance. By appropriately adjusting the transmission power of the background carrier, the power amplifier trap effect can be effectively eliminated, thereby optimizing transmission performance and improving indicators such as the anti-interference ability and bandwidth utilization rate of the signal.
[0056] By adjusting the transmission power of the background carrier based on the service load of the working carrier, the technical effects of reducing the power amplifier trap effect, improving signal quality, and optimizing transmission performance can be achieved. This can improve the performance of communication devices and enhance the stability and reliability of signal transmission.
[0057] Through steps S201 to S204, since a background carrier is inserted into the working carrier of the input signal to form a new input signal, and the transmission power of the background carrier is adjusted to eliminate the power amplifier trap effect in the transmission channel to improve the quality of the output signal. Therefore, the problem of the input signal having a power amplifier trap effect in the related technology can be solved to achieve the effect of improving the quality of the output signal.
[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the following method can be used to adjust the transmission power of the background carrier:
[0059] When the signal quality is lower than the preset signal threshold, calculate the current power of the background carrier;
[0060] Increase the current power of the background carrier so that the signal quality meets the preset signal threshold.
[0061] Among them, the method for obtaining the specific value of increasing the current power of the background carrier is as follows:
[0062] Assume: The specific value of increasing the current power of the background carrier is X, and the calculation method of the specific value X is:
[0063] Obtain the average working power of the working carrier within a preset time period;
[0064] Obtain the minimum working power of the working carrier when there is no service and the maximum working power when it is fully loaded;
[0065] Obtain the minimum power of the background carrier;
[0066] Based on the average working power, the minimum working power, the maximum working power, and the minimum power, obtain the current power of the background carrier;
[0067] Obtain the current power of the working carrier in the transmission channel;
[0068] Based on the current power of the background carrier and the current power of the working carrier, obtain the total current power of the signal;
[0069] Obtain the preset signal power corresponding to the preset signal threshold, where there is a mapping relationship between the preset signal threshold and the preset signal power;
[0070] Based on the preset signal power and the total current power of the signal, obtain the theoretical power of the adjusted background carrier;
[0071] Based on the current power of the background carrier and the theoretical power, obtain the specific value X.
[0072] Among them, calculate the current power P of the background carrier current Through the following formula:
[0073]
[0074] P min Is the minimum power of the background carrier, S is the average power of the working carrier within a preset time period, and R min ≤s≤R max, Rmin is the minimum operating power of the working carrier when there is no traffic, and Rmax is the maximum power when the traffic is full; C is an adjustment factor, and its calculation formula is C = P max -P min ; P max is the maximum transmit power allowed for the background carrier to be transmitted in the transmit channel; then
[0075] X = P new -P current , P new is the power of the background carrier obtained at the output port of the transmit channel.
[0076] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for monitoring the signal quality of the output signal at the output port of the transmit channel based on the background carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, monitoring the signal quality of the output signal at the output port of the transmit channel based on the background carrier includes:
[0077] Step S301, identifying the measurement data carried by the background carrier.
[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, it can be implemented in the following manner:
[0079] Analyze the carrier modulation scheme: For example, frequency shift keying (FSK), phase shift keying (PSK), and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) can be used.
[0080] Demodulate the signal: Demodulate the received background carrier signal to restore the original modulated signal. For example, a frequency shift keying demodulator, a phase difference demodulator, etc. can be used.
[0081] Extract the measurement data: Extract the measurement data carried by the background carrier through the demodulated signal. It may involve steps such as parsing the data frame structure, processing the timing, and error checking. The specific method depends on the format and transmission characteristics of the data and is not limited here.
[0082] Data processing and parsing: Process and parse the extracted measurement data, and perform corresponding operations according to the specific meaning and format of the data. The analysis, extraction, or conversion of the measurement data can be completed through data processing algorithms, parsers, or custom processing programs.
[0083] Result output or application: Perform corresponding output or application according to the identified and processed measurement data. For example, it may include operations such as data display, storage, transmission, and analysis.
[0084] In summary, to identify the measurement data carried by the background carrier, it is necessary to analyze the modulation scheme of the background carrier, demodulate the signal, extract the measurement data, and perform data processing and analysis, and finally output the application result.
[0085] Step S302: Measure the signal quality of the output signal based on the measurement data.
[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, it can be implemented in the following manner:
[0087] Select the signal quality measurement index: First, it is necessary to select a suitable signal quality measurement index, which may include the bit error rate (BER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), symbol error rate (SER), etc.
[0088] Extract the measurement data: Extract the data to be measured from the output signal, which can be selected according to the specific signal characteristics and measurement purposes. For example, in digital communication, the bit stream or sample sequence at the receiving end can be extracted.
[0089] Analyze the measurement data: Analyze and process the extracted measurement data, and calculate the corresponding signal quality index. According to the selected index, the data needs to be processed accordingly, such as statistical analysis, algorithm calculation, etc.
[0090] Calculate the signal quality index: Apply the selected data processing method to calculate the value of the selected index. For example, to calculate the bit error rate, the number of received error bits can be counted and divided by the total number of bits; to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio, it can be obtained by the ratio of the signal power to the noise power.
[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, after calculating the signal quality index, it further includes: Result output and analysis: Output the result of the signal quality according to the calculated signal quality index. The result of the signal quality can be qualified or unqualified. For example, the signal quality index can be presented in numerical form, or visual analysis can be performed, such as generating charts, reports, etc., to reflect that the result of the signal quality is qualified or unqualified.
[0092] In summary, to measure the signal quality of the output signal based on the measurement data, it is necessary to select a suitable signal quality index, extract the measurement data, analyze the measurement data, calculate the signal quality index, and finally output and analyze the result.
[0093] Figure 4 is a flowchart of the method for obtaining the background carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, before inserting the background carrier at the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier, it further includes:
[0094] Step S401: When a working carrier is detected, generate a usage signal based on the maximum number of sub - frequency bands that the background carrier can carry information.
[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, based on the maximum number of sub - frequency bands that the background carrier can carry information, obtain the largest prime number of the maximum number of sub - frequency bands. Determine the number and sequence number of the generated usage signals. Divide the sequence number of the usage signal by the largest prime number, and use the remainder result as the sequence number of the digital signal. Perform complex - number operations using the sequence number of the digital signal and the largest prime number to obtain a digital signal. Within the range of the maximum number of sub - frequency bands that the background carrier can carry information, determine the sequence number of each usage signal as an integer value, find the signal value corresponding to the sequence number of the usage signal in the digital signal, and append the value of the digital signal to the usage signal to convert the continuous digital signal into a discrete usage signal.
[0096] Step S402: Modulate based on the usage signal to obtain the background carrier.
[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, add up the obtained multiple usage signals to get an accumulated value, and perform D / A modulation on the accumulated value to obtain the background carrier. Figure 5 is a flowchart of the method for generating a usage signal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, when a working carrier is detected, generating a usage signal based on the maximum number of sub - frequency bands that the background carrier can carry information includes:
[0098] Step S501: Obtain the largest prime number of the maximum number of sub - frequency bands based on the maximum number of sub - frequency bands that the background carrier can carry information;
[0099] Step S502: Generate a usage signal based on the largest prime number.
[0100] In an exemplary embodiment, the usage signal r(n) is generated using the following formula:
[0101] r(n)=x(m), 0 ≤ n ≤ M; 0 ≤ m ≤ N sc ; m = n mod N sc ;
[0102] where x(m) is a digital signal, which is a continuous value; the usage signal r(n) is a discrete value obtained by sampling x(m). n is the label of the sub - frequency band in the usage signal, M is the maximum number of sub - frequency bands that the background carrier can carry information, and N sc is the largest prime number less than M;
[0103] where the background carrier uses the following formula:
[0104] Perform D / A modulation on f(n) to obtain a background carrier;
[0105] Where K is the number of information sampling points within a unit time slice of the working carrier.
[0106] Figure 6 is a flowchart of a method for determining signal quality according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one implementation, as Figure 6 shown, monitor the signal quality of the output signal at the output port of the transmission channel based on the background carrier, including:
[0107] Step S601, obtain a first angle sequence based on the angular cross-correlation between the output signal and the background carrier, where the angle of the background carrier is based on the used signal;
[0108] In one exemplary implementation, the angular cross-correlation between the output signal and the background carrier is a method for analyzing the phase difference between two signals. Angular cross-correlation can provide information about the relative time delay or phase shift between signals.
[0109] To calculate the angular cross-correlation between the output signal and the background carrier, the following method can be used:
[0110] 1. Perform Fourier transform on the output signal and the background carrier (for example, the background carrier can utilize the used signal) to obtain the transformation result, so as to transform the output signal and the background carrier from the time domain to the frequency domain. For example, by observing the spectrum of the transformation result obtained through Fourier transform of the used signal, the frequency domain components and phase information of the used signal can be determined, and the angle of the background carrier can be obtained.
[0111] 2. Take the complex conjugate of the transformation result to obtain two spectrum results.
[0112] 3. Multiply the two spectrum results to obtain the conversion result.
[0113] 4. Perform inverse Fourier transform on the conversion result to restore the conversion result from the frequency domain to the time domain to obtain the angular cross-correlation.
[0114] The result of the angular cross-correlation is a complex number sequence, which can be expressed in the form of amplitude and phase. The phase information reflects the relative phase shift between signals. These phase information can be extracted to obtain an angle sequence, which is used to describe the change of the phase difference between the output signal and the background carrier over time. To obtain the angle sequence, a function for calculating the angle of a complex number (such as the arctan function) can be used to calculate the angle of each complex number, and with time as the abscissa and angle as the ordinate, an angle sequence chart can be obtained. This chart can show the change of the phase difference between signals over time.
[0115] Step S602: Obtain a second angle sequence based on the angular autocorrelation of the output signal and the background carrier;
[0116] Among them, the angular autocorrelation of the output signal and the background carrier refers to the correlation between the two signals in terms of angle when their time delays are different. The angular autocorrelation can be obtained by performing Fourier transforms on the output signal and the background carrier, then multiplying their amplitudes and phases, and finally performing an inverse Fourier transform.
[0117] Based on the angular autocorrelation, a second angle sequence can be obtained. The specific method is to perform Fourier transforms on the output signal and the background carrier to obtain their spectra, then multiply the amplitudes and phases of the spectra, and finally perform an inverse Fourier transform to obtain the second angle sequence. This second angle sequence represents the angular correlation between the output signal and the background carrier at different time delays.
[0118] Step S603: Calculate the angle difference between the first angle sequence and the second angle sequence, and determine the signal quality based on the angle difference.
[0119] In an exemplary implementation, for example, if the output signal at the power amplifier port is Y(n), the following transformation is performed to obtain Y'(k):
[0120] where N is the number of sampling points;
[0121] Perform the following angular cross-correlation operation on the background carrier r(n) and the output signal Y'(k) to obtain the first angle sequence Z'(n):
[0122] where angel is an operation to find the angle of a complex number.
[0123] Perform the following angular autocorrelation calculation on the background carrier r(n) and the output signal Y'(k) to obtain the second angle sequence R'(n):
[0124]
[0125] From the first angle sequence Z'(n) and the second angle sequence R'(n), extract the positive numbers of each sequence, denoted as Z”(n) and R”(n) respectively, then average them separately and take the difference to obtain the angle difference D diff :
[0126] D diff = ∑Z”(n) / N 1 - ∑R”(n) / N 2 .
[0127] Compare the angle difference D diff with the standard angle difference D. If the angle difference D diffIf the difference from the standard angle difference D exceeds a preset threshold, it can be determined that the output signal is unqualified. Among them, the standard angle difference D and the preset threshold are selected according to specific circumstances and are not limited here.
[0128] Figure 7 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the frequency domain position relationship between the background carrier and the working carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. In an exemplary embodiment, the position of the background carrier can be at the edge of the working carrier, specifically on the left or right side, and it is necessary to consider the frequency domain position of the working information carried in the working carrier (such as synchronization information, etc.). The background carrier is far from the frequency domain position where these working information are located. That is: the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier is on the side far from the frequency domain position of the working information, and the background carrier is inserted into the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier. As Figure 7 shown, for example, when the frequency domain position of the working information carried in the working carrier (such as synchronization information, etc.) is on the right side, the frequency domain position of the guard band is on the left side, and the background carrier can be inserted into the left side of the working carrier. Therefore, inserting the background carrier into the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier can enhance the protection performance of the working carrier and improve its anti-interference ability and stability.
[0129] Figure 8 FIG. is a flowchart of a method for inserting a background carrier into a working carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, inserting a background carrier into the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier to obtain an input signal includes:
[0130] Step S801, obtaining the frequency domain position of the working information in the working carrier;
[0131] In an exemplary embodiment, the following method is adopted:
[0132] 1. Collect the time domain data of the working information, which can be real-time data obtained through sensors, instruments or other devices.
[0133] 2. Perform a Fourier transform on the time domain data to convert it into frequency domain data.
[0134] 3. Analyze the frequency domain data to determine the position of the working information in the frequency domain. Methods such as spectrum analysis and power spectral density analysis can be used to determine the frequency components and energy distribution of the signal.
[0135] 4. Output relevant information of the frequency domain data, including frequency components, energy distribution, etc.
[0136] Through the above method, the position of the working information in the frequency domain can be determined, providing input data for subsequent steps.
[0137] Step S802: Obtain the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier based on the frequency domain position of the working information;
[0138] In an exemplary implementation, the following method is adopted:
[0139] 1. Collect the frequency domain position of the working information, including the frequency range and signal characteristics of the working carrier.
[0140] 2. Determine the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier according to the frequency domain position of the working information. The guard band is usually within a certain range above and below the frequency of the working carrier to reduce the influence of surrounding interference signals and noise.
[0141] 3. Use digital signal processing algorithms or spectrum analysis techniques to process the frequency domain position of the working information to determine the frequency domain position of the guard band of the working carrier.
[0142] 4. After determining the frequency domain position of the guard band, corresponding signal processing and modulation techniques can be adopted to ensure the reliable transmission and anti-interference ability of the working carrier in the frequency domain position.
[0143] Through the above method, the frequency domain position of the guard band can be determined, preparing for inserting the background carrier in the next step.
[0144] Step S803: Insert the background carrier at the frequency domain position of the guard band to obtain the input signal.

For example, the working carrier divides time into multiple slices. For example, it can be divided into 0 to 9, a total of 10 time slices. The transmission power of the working carrier occupies Figure 9 from 0 to 3, then the background carrier transmits power on 0 to 3 to make the time distribution completely synchronized with that of the working carrier. Of course, the working carrier can also divide time into other numbers of time slices, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0157] 4. According to the analysis result, determine the time-domain position of the transmission power of the working carrier. It can be a time period or a specific moment, used to represent the specific position of the transmission power of the working carrier in the time domain.

[0163] Step S1002, control the transmit power of the background carrier in the time domain position so that the time distributions of the background carrier and the working carrier are synchronized.

[0166] 2. Adjust the transmit power of the background carrier so that its position in the time domain is consistent with that of the working carrier. It can be adjusted through the system control panel or software.
[0167] 3. During the adjustment process, monitor the time domain positions of the background carrier and the working carrier in real time to ensure that they are synchronized. It can be achieved through a signal analyzer or other relevant devices.
[0168] 4. After the adjustment is completed, conduct verification and testing to ensure that the time distributions of the background carrier and the working carrier are synchronized to meet the system requirements.
[0169] 5. Make records and documentation for future maintenance and management. At the same time, regular inspections and adjustments are also required to ensure that the background carrier and the working carrier always remain synchronized.
[0170] Through the above method, the following technical effects can be achieved:
[0171] 1. Improve the overall performance of the system: By keeping the time distributions of the background carrier and the working carrier synchronized, interference and signal collisions can be reduced, and the overall performance and reliability of the system can be improved.
[0172] 2. Increase the signal coverage range: By dynamically adjusting the transmit power of the background carrier, it can keep the time distribution synchronized with the working carrier under different geographical locations and channel conditions, thereby increasing the signal coverage range and accessibility.
[0173] 3. Save energy: Dynamically adjusting the transmit power of the background carrier can be precisely controlled according to actual needs, avoiding unnecessary energy waste, thereby saving energy and extending the working life of the device.
