Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of radar power amplifier linearization, and particularly relates to a power amplifier nonlinear compensation method based on a multi-layer memory deep BiLSTM. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the scarcity of spectrum resources is increasingly prominent, and the functional requirements of radar and communication systems are growing synchronously. At present, the working frequency bands of radar and communication systems begin to overlap, which promotes the rise of radar communication integration technology. This technology realizes the dual functions of target detection and communication transmission through sharing hardware devices. However, the power amplifier of the radar system is usually in a deep nonlinear working state in pursuit of high transmission power, and this operating mode will cause significant signal distortion, thereby causing demodulation failure or abnormal increase of the error rate at the receiving end. Specifically, the nonlinear characteristics of the power amplifier have become the main bottleneck restricting the high-speed communication performance of the integrated system. By implementing the amplifier linearization technology, the distortion degree of the signal can be effectively suppressed, the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved, and thus the error performance, transmission distance and overall reliability of the communication system can be improved.

[0003] Traditional nonlinear compensation technologies mainly include a predistortion scheme and a power amplifier nonlinear cancellation technology. The predistortion scheme needs to additionally configure a predistorter to suppress the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier, but the hardware complexity and energy consumption are high, which is difficult to meet the application requirements of the radar system. The receiving-end nonlinear cancellation technology proposed by Tellado et al. decomposes and compensates the nonlinear components introduced by the power amplifier, but this method is harsh in the fitting accuracy of the power amplifier model parameters, and is only suitable for simple power amplifier structures without memory characteristics. SUMMARY

[0004] The power amplifier of the radar system is usually in a deep nonlinear working state in pursuit of high transmission power, and this operating mode will cause significant signal distortion, thereby causing demodulation failure or abnormal increase of the error rate at the receiving end. To solve the problem of high error rate of the distorted data of the memory-type power amplifier in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a power amplifier nonlinear compensation method based on a multi-layer memory deep BiLSTM. For the nonlinear problem of the power amplifier with memory effect, the long-term time sequence dependence characteristics in the trajectory data are captured in both directions, and the processing capacity for the memory-type nonlinear distortion is significantly improved. Experiments show that this method successfully solves the problem of serious signal distortion caused by the memory-type power amplifier, the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiving end is improved by 1.2 dB, and has the potential to be applied to the field of satellite-borne power amplifier nonlinear compensation.

[0005] The specific technical scheme for achieving the purpose of the present application is as follows:

[0006] A power amplifier nonlinear compensation method based on a multi-layer memory deep BiLSTM, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Obtain the raw data from the radar transmitter and the output data from the radar power amplifier;

[0008] Step 2: Construct a multi-layer memory deep BiLSTM neural network model;

[0009] Step 3: Use the raw data from the radar transmitter and the output data from the radar power amplifier as a dataset to train the BiLSTM neural network model, and obtain the trained multi-layer memory deep BiLSTM neural network model.

[0010] Step 4: Collect data at the radar receiver after it has been subjected to radar power amplifier nonlinearity and Gaussian channel interference, and feed it into the trained multi-layer memory deep BiLSTM neural network model to complete the receiver compensation of radar power amplifier nonlinearity.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] This invention addresses the nonlinearity problem of power amplifiers with memory effects. It employs a BiLSTM neural network model to compensate for the nonlinearity of radar power amplifiers at the receiver. By bidirectionally capturing long-term temporal dependence features in trajectory data, it significantly improves the ability to handle memory-type nonlinear distortion. This effectively suppresses the nonlinear distortion of radar power amplifiers, improves the signal-to-noise ratio, and thus enhances the error rate performance, transmission distance, and overall reliability of the communication system, thereby improving radar communication performance. Experiments show that this method successfully solves the problem of severe signal distortion caused by memory-type power amplifiers, improving the demodulation signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver by up to 1.2 dB, and has the potential for widespread application in the field of nonlinear compensation for spaceborne power amplifiers.
