Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of radio frequency transceiver mismatch calibration, and in particular to a modem mismatch detection and optimization device and a detection and calibration method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are process deviation fluctuations in the production process of integrated devices, and mismatches exist in the modems used in the signal path, which, for example, may lead to a deterioration in the transmission and reception signal-to-noise ratios, affecting the performance of modulation and demodulation.

[0003] For example, when this mismatch caused by process variations occurs within the analog baseband circuitry of a modem, such as the transmit / receive filters and transmit / receive A / D and D / A converters, it can have a significant impact on high-speed, high-precision, broadband systems. This manifests itself as amplitude mismatch in the orthogonal signals and phase mismatch in the quadrature signals. These two types of mismatch typically have both static components and frequency-varying components.

[0004] Of course, actual parameters and characteristics can change with factors such as temperature, aging, impedance, and power supply. Often, if calibration parameters do not keep pace with these changes, the quality of the transmitted signal will deteriorate, making demodulation difficult at the air interface receiver, thereby reducing system throughput. The same applies to parameter mismatch at the receiver. Therefore, detecting and calibrating the amplitude and phase mismatch between the transmitted and received signals is essential.

[0005] Solutions to partial mismatch in the analog baseband require either the use of external instruments plus internal non-volatile programmable devices, which have high implementation and testing costs and poor adaptability to changes in environmental factors such as temperature; or the addition of additional complex circuits, which have high implementation costs, poor detection accuracy, and low detection efficiency; or the phase shift operation has errors in implementation, thereby limiting detection accuracy; or the mismatch detection quantities of RF and analog baseband are mixed together, resulting in poor overall mismatch detection accuracy within the passband.

[0006] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved and enhanced. In addition, it should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of providing a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of this application and facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0066] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0067] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to." The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on." The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment." The terms "first," "second," etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0068] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the modem, and in particular the modem's receiver or transmitter, may be a circuit disposed on a chip, or may be a device or system composed of multiple corresponding modules. Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the modem's transmitter module includes a transmit digital baseband signal processing module, a digital-to-analog conversion module, a transmitter filtering module, and a transmit output terminal. The corresponding signal is emitted by the transmit digital baseband signal processing module and sequentially passes through the digital-to-analog conversion module, the transmitter filtering module, and the transmit output terminal. One or more gain adjustment units (e.g., multiple amplifier stages) may also be disposed between the transmit digital baseband signal processing module and the digital-to-analog conversion module, between the digital-to-analog conversion module and the transmitter filtering module, and between the transmitter filtering module and the transmit output terminal. Of course, each of the aforementioned modules may also have adjustable gain (e.g., the transmitter filtering module may also be a transmit analog variable gain and channel filtering module, wherein the filtering module itself has the function of adjusting the gain of the passing signal). Similarly, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the receiving module end of the modem includes a receiving input end, a receiving end filtering module, an analog-to-digital conversion module, and a receiving digital baseband signal processing (Receive Digital Baseband Signal Processing) module, and the corresponding signal (for example, it can come from the switching module) is received by the receiving input end and passes through the receiving end filtering module, the analog-to-digital conversion module, and the receiving digital baseband signal processing module in sequence (that is, it is finally received by the receiving digital baseband signal processing module); one or more gain adjustment units (for example, several stages of amplifiers) can also be set between the receiving input end and the receiving end filtering module, between the receiving end filtering module and the analog-to-digital conversion module, and between the analog-to-digital conversion module and the receiving digital baseband signal processing module. Of course, each of the above modules itself can also be gain-adjustable (for example, the receiving end filtering module can also be a receiving end analog variable gain and channel filtering module, and its filtering module itself has the function of adjusting the gain of the passing signal; for another example, the analog-to-digital conversion module can also have a function of adjusting the signal gain in addition to the analog-to-digital conversion function). Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the transmit output and / or receive input defined in the above embodiments can be considered the baseband portion of the modem. Mismatches in these portions can be considered baseband mismatches. In the present disclosure, baseband mismatches are primarily caused by issues with the filter module (e.g., the filter or the aforementioned transmit filter module or receive filter module). Accordingly, modem mismatches also involve RF mismatches, which in the present disclosure are primarily caused by issues with the mixers on the transmit and receive sides.

[0069] Modem mismatch can generally be addressed through hardware-based solutions, employing high-performance analog components (filters, amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters, mixers, etc.). While these components can fundamentally mitigate the effects of I and Q mismatch, they are generally larger and more expensive, which in turn increases the power consumption and cost of mobile transceivers. Furthermore, even high-performance analog components cannot completely mitigate I and Q mismatch. This is because actual manufacturing processes can only approximate theoretical performance, not truly achieve it. Furthermore, the ability of actual components to mitigate I and Q mismatch varies under different environmental conditions (such as temperature and humidity). Therefore, mitigating I and Q mismatch in the analog domain is particularly practical. Alternatively, digital signal processing can be used to mitigate and compensate for these mismatches in the digital domain (i.e., the digital section of the modem). It should also be understood that solutions to address analog baseband mismatch include: 1) using external test equipment to detect the mismatch parameters of the chip's transmit signal and then writing them to the chip's internal non-volatile programmable devices (such as efuse, OTP, flash); 2) using an external RF signal source to transmit signals to the chip, detecting the mismatch parameters of the baseband receive signal internally, and then writing them to the chip's internal non-volatile programmable devices; 3) including an additional frequency-locked loop circuit internally for generating RF signals, which is used to detect mismatches in the receive chain after the chip is powered on. 4) including an additional detector internally for detecting mismatches in the transmit chain after the chip is powered on. 5) after the transmit chain is calibrated, it acts as a quasi-ideal signal source to perform loopback detection on the receive chain. 6) after the receive chain is calibrated, it acts as a quasi-ideal receiver to perform loopback detection on the transmit chain. 7) adding a phase shift operation to the RF local oscillator signal to decouple mismatches between the transmit and receive chains. The mismatch parameters detected above will be configured accordingly to the digital baseband transceiver mismatch compensation circuit, so that the compensated transceiver / receiver link achieves a mismatch-free effect. The various detection methods listed above either require the use of external instruments and internal non-volatile programmable devices, which have high implementation and testing costs and poor adaptability to changes in environmental factors such as temperature; or they require the addition of additional complex circuits, which have high implementation costs, poor detection accuracy, and low detection efficiency; or the phase shift operation has errors in implementation, thereby limiting detection accuracy; or the mismatch detection quantities of the RF and analog baseband are mixed, resulting in poor overall mismatch detection accuracy within the passband.

[0070] It should be noted that the transmitter or receiver of the modem needs to be recalibrated every time the gain is changed. The following embodiments are based on calibration after the gain is adjusted, and recalibration is required each time the gain and bandwidth are re-determined. It should also be understood that the parameters in some embodiments in the context of this disclosure are as follows: I: the abbreviation for in-phase; Q: the abbreviation for quadrature; S*: the conjugate of signal S; S': the signal form in another configuration, to distinguish it from the signal S in the original configuration; : angular frequency of baseband single tone signal; : Index is The angular frequency of the baseband tone signal; : angular frequency of the RF local oscillator signal; : natural constant; :index(=1,2,3....); : imaginary unit; : time; Re(): operation of taking the real part of a complex number; Im(): operation of taking the imaginary part of a complex number; | |: modulus operation; S TX.BB : digital baseband complex transmission signal; S RX.BB : digital baseband complex received signal; S TX.FLT : Transmit analog filter complex output signal; S RX.FLT.in : Receive analog filter complex input signal; K T : The gain of the signal after digital-to-analog conversion, filtering and gain adjustment in the transmission chain (or the gain of the entire transmission chain); φ T : Phase delay of the signal after digital-to-analog conversion, filtering and gain adjustment in the transmission chain; K R : The gain of the signal after filtering, gain adjustment and analog-to-digital conversion in the receiving chain (or the gain of the entire receiving chain); φ R : Phase delay of the signal after filtering, gain adjustment and analog-to-digital conversion in the receiving chain; K A : gain of RF attenuation; : The real part of the image component caused by the mismatch of the transmission link (or the amplitude mismatch of the transmitted RF local oscillator signal); : The imaginary part of the image component caused by the mismatch of the transmission link (or the angle mismatch of the transmitted RF local oscillator signal); : The real part of the image component caused by the mismatch of the receiving link (or refers to the amplitude mismatch of the received RF local oscillator signal); : The imaginary part of the image component caused by the mismatch of the receiving link (or refers to the angular mismatch of the received RF local oscillator signal); : Image components caused by mismatch in the entire transmit and receive link; : Index is , positive sideband image component caused by mismatch between transmit and receive links; : Index is , negative sideband image components caused by mismatch in the entire transmit and receive link; : amplitude of the complex signal; : Index is , the amplitude of the positive sideband complex tone signal; : Index is , the amplitude of the complex tone signal with negative sideband; : ideal complex transmitted local oscillator signal; : There is a mismatched complex transmission local oscillator signal; : Ideal complex received local oscillator signal; : There is a mismatched complex received local oscillator signal; : The phase of the complex transmitted local oscillator signal; : The phase of the complex received local oscillator signal; : actual transmitted radio frequency signal; S TX.RF.poly : The complex RF output signal of the real transmitted RF signal after passing through the polyphase filter; : Receives the complex output signal of the mixer.

[0071] Therefore, in order to detect the mismatch of the baseband part of the modem, the example embodiments of the present disclosure propose a modem mismatch detection device. The device includes an additional switching module and the original baseband part inside the modem. Then the device only needs to set up a switching module with different working states inside it to cooperate with the corresponding signal transmission mode of different states. It can borrow the original modem module to extract the key parameters of the mismatch and compensate for the mismatch, thereby improving the signal quality. Accordingly, the present disclosure also proposes a modem mismatch detection method, which can be based on the above-mentioned modem mismatch detection device. Accordingly, for the mismatch of the detected baseband part, especially the extraction of the key parameters of the mismatch, some embodiments of the present disclosure also specifically design a modem calibration method and provide some embodiments of the modem calibration device. The following is a detailed description of each in conjunction with the contents of the accompanying drawings.

In this illustrated embodiment, the lower portion of the diagram is the transmitter portion, the upper portion of the diagram is the receiver portion, and the transmit and receive signals are marked. In the illustrated embodiment, two signals are sent by the transmit digital baseband signal processing module, wherein the transmit signal I TX.BB and Q TX.BB Satisfies the complex signal relationship S TX.BB =I TX.BB +jQ TX.BBObviously, after the transmit signal is sent out by the transmit digital baseband signal processing module, it passes through the digital-to-analog conversion module (for example, DAC), the transmit filter module (for example, the transmit analog variable gain and channel filter module), the transmit mixer (local oscillation signal LO), and the combiner (for example, the adder) in sequence, and then is amplified by the power amplifier (PA); at this time, the signal is transmitted to the antenna and propagates outward. Correspondingly, the signal from the antenna (in some embodiments, it can also come from the transmitter part) can be split to two receive mixers (local oscillation signal LO) through the low noise amplifier (LNA), and then passes through the receive filter module (for example, the receive analog variable gain and channel filter module), the analog-to-digital conversion module (for example, ADC), and the final signal I RX.BB and Q RX.BB The digital baseband signal processing module receives the two signals I RX.BB and Q RX.BB Satisfies the complex signal relationship S RX.BB =I RX.BB +jQ RX.BB In this illustrated embodiment, the signal I TX.BB is the real part signal, signal Q TX.BB The two signals sent by the digital baseband signal processing module are actually two real signals. However, the complex signal relationship is used for the convenience of theoretical explanation. The following is used to illustrate the signal input and output of each module or device.

[0119] The four mismatch parameters obtained for any single-tone transmission signal can be used to construct corresponding equalizers at the modem's digital end to eliminate these four mismatch parameters. Therefore, for the entire frequency band, multiple different single-tone signals are simultaneously transmitted for detection and calibration to cover the entire frequency band. It should also be noted that the subscript i represents an index within a series of BB tone combinations, meaning that the parameter with the subscript i represents the single-tone parameter at the i-th frequency point. Furthermore, each frequency point corresponds to four mismatch parameters, and for N frequency points, there are 4N mismatch parameters.

This method requires first obtaining four mismatch parameters of the baseband analog mismatch of the above modem according to the above detection method; then corresponding equalizers can be constructed at the digital end of the modem to eliminate the four mismatch parameters.

[0121] It should be understood that the mismatch of the modem may include the mismatch of the baseband part and the mismatch of the RF part. In the above embodiments, the detection and calibration of the mismatch of the baseband part (for example, caused by the filter) have been included. However, the modem may also have a mismatch of the RF segment (for example, caused by the mixer).

[0122] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a modem mismatch detection device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In this exemplary embodiment, at the output end of a power amplifier (PA) on the transmitter side, the PA's transmitter output can be directed through a positive sideband polyphase filter (PSPF) to direct two signals (with a phase offset of π / 2 and a phase offset of 0) to two mixer groups (an upper group of two mixers and a lower group of two mixers on the receiver side). The combined signal is then transmitted to the baseband portion of the receiver (the receiving module described above).

[0123] It should be understood that the ideal up-converter (transmitter link mixer) local oscillator signal is: , is the phase of the local oscillator signal. After considering the mismatch, the form is:

[0127]

[0128] Similarly, the ideal down-conversion (mixer in the receiver chain) local oscillator signal is: , after considering the mismatch, the form is:

[0129]

[0130] The result of a non-ideal transmit tone signal passing through a non-ideal receive down-conversion mixer (the mixer in the receiver chain) is:

[0139] Obviously, the mismatch between the transmitter link and the receiver link is mixed together and cannot be separated.

[0140] In order to solve the problem that the mismatch amount cannot be separated, the following will explain the corresponding modem mismatch calibration device in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, Figure 2The difference between the embodiments is that an adjustment module is provided between the output end of the power amplifier of the transmitter link and the input end of the receiver baseband link (it should be understood that the switch between the baseband link and the RF link of the modem's transmitter or receiver is closed for the purpose of explaining the adjustment module below). The adjustment module is used to perform RF attenuation, positive sideband multi-phase filtering, and mixing on the signal from the power amplifier in sequence for input into the receiver baseband link. It should be noted that the positive sideband multi-phase filter immediately following the RF attenuator is divided into two paths. When both paths are closed, it is the first state of the adjustment module. When the upper path of the positive sideband multi-phase filter shown in the figure is disconnected and the lower path is closed, it is the second state of the adjustment module. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, the drop transmitter baseband part can be set as a transmitting module end, which includes a transmitting digital baseband signal processing module, a digital-to-analog conversion module, and a transmitting-end filtering module. Accordingly, the drop transmitter link can also be set to transmit the signal from the transmitting digital baseband signal processing module and sequentially pass through the digital-to-analog conversion module, the transmitting-end filtering module, the transmitting mixing module, the combiner, the power amplifier, and the output end of the transmitter link; and the add receiver baseband part can be set as a receiving module end (it can also be set as a receiver baseband link), and the receiver baseband link (receiving module end) includes a receiving-end filtering module, an analog-to-digital conversion module, and a receiving digital baseband signal processing module. Regarding the adjustment module, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, the input end of the adjustment module is connected to the output end of the power amplifier of the transmitter link, and the output end of the adjustment module is connected to the input end of the receiver baseband link after mixing and combining. Obviously, the input end of the receiver baseband link includes the illustrated uplink input end (which can also be identified as the input end of the uplink receiving end filtering module of the receiver baseband link as the first receiving end) and the downlink input end (which can also be identified as the input end of the downlink receiving end filtering module of the receiver baseband link as the second receiving end). In the embodiment shown in the figure, the RF attenuation of the adjustment module is achieved by an RF attenuator; the positive sideband multi-phase filtering of the adjustment module is achieved by a positive sideband multi-phase filter, wherein the positive sideband multi-phase filter has two outputs. If the upper output of the positive sideband multi-phase filter is turned on, it is branched into a first mixer (local oscillation signal LO, the first mixer from the top to the bottom of the receiver chain in the figure) and a second mixer (local oscillation signal LO, the second mixer from the top to the bottom of the receiver chain in the figure); if the lower output of the positive sideband multi-phase filter is turned on, it is branched into a third mixer (local oscillation signal LO, the third mixer from the top to the bottom of the receiver chain in the figure) and a fourth mixer (local oscillation signal LO, the fourth mixer from the top to the bottom of the receiver chain in the figure), and the outputs of the first mixer and the third mixer are combined, and the outputs of the second mixer and the fourth mixer are combined.

[0141] Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, the output end of the upper transmitting-end filter module in the transmitting module end (transmitter baseband link) is set as the first transmitting end, and the output end of the lower transmitting-end filter module in the transmitting module end (transmitter baseband link) is set as the second transmitting end; correspondingly, the input end of the upper receiving-end filter module in the receiving module end (receiver baseband link) is set as the first receiving end, and the input end of the lower receiving-end filter module in the receiving module end (receiver baseband link) is set as the second receiving end.

[0142] Then, in the above calibration device, it includes a transmitter chain and a receiver chain, the transmitter chain includes a transmitter baseband chain, and the receiver chain includes a receiver baseband chain; an adjustment module is arranged between the output end of the power amplifier of the transmitter chain and the input end of the receiver baseband chain. The adjustment module includes a first state and a second state. The adjustment module in the first state is arranged to adjust the signal V from the power amplifier to TX.RF After RF attenuation and positive sideband multiphase filtering, the signal V TX.RF is decomposed into signal I TX.RF.poly and signal Q TX.RF.poly , and satisfies the complex signal relation S TX.RF.poly =I TX.RF.poly +jQ TX.RF.poly , so that the signal I TX.RF.poly and signal Q TX.RF.poly After being split and mixed, they are output as signals I RX.MIX and signal Q RX.MIX , so that the complex signal relationship S is satisfied RX.MIX =I RX.MIX +jQ RX.MIX , signal I RX.MIX and signal Q RX.MIX The adjustment module in the second state is configured to transmit the signal V' from the power amplifier after the transmitter calibration is completed. TX.RF After performing RF attenuation and positive sideband multiphase filtering in sequence, the signal is divided into two channels and mixed to obtain the signal I' RX.MIX and signal Q' RX.MIX , so that the complex signal relationship S' is satisfied RX.MIX =I' RX.MIX +jQ' RX.MIX , signal I' RX.MIX and signal Q' RX.MIX is transmitted to the receiver baseband link.

[0143] In some embodiments, the adjustment module is in a first state, that is, in order to first perform transmitter link calibration, the positive sideband polyphase filter immediately following the RF attenuator is divided into two paths. When both paths are closed, the adjustment module is in the first state. At this time, the output signal I transmitted by the transmit digital baseband signal processing module of the modem is TX.BB and Q TX.BB Satisfies the complex signal relationship:

[0144] S TX.BB =I TX.BB +jQ TX.BB = ;
