摘要:
The present invention provides a transmission device for predistorting a digital signal in order to compensate distortion, then amplifying and transmitting it. A digital input signal is converted to a first analog signal by a first D/A converter. Separately, the digital input signal is also subjected to predistortion. A compensating signal is then generated from the digital input signal and the predistorted signal. The compensating signal generated thereby is converted into a second analog signal by a second D/A converter. The first analog signal and second analog signal are then added, this addition operation giving a compensated analog transmission signal. This analog transmission signal is supplied to the amplifier for amplification, and then transmitted via an antenna.

A distortion compensating apparatus calculates a distortion compensation coefficient in such a manner that a difference signal between a reference signal, which is a transmit signal, and a feedback signal will be diminished, updates an old distortion compensation coefficient by the calculated distortion compensation coefficient and applies distortion compensation to the transmit signal based upon this distortion compensation coefficient. In this apparatus, a phase correcting interval, which is for correcting the phase difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal, and a distortion compensation coefficient updating interval are generated alternately, a correction is applied so as to null the phase difference in the phase correcting interval, and the distortion compensation coefficient is updated in the distortion compensation coefficient updating interval.

A distortion compensation apparatus includes an amplifying unit, a plurality of distortion compensation coefficient storage units, a first address generating unit, a second address generating unit, and a distortion compensating unit. The amplifying unit amplifies an input signal. A plurality of distortion compensation coefficient storage units store the distortion compensation coefficients for compensating for the distortion of the amplifying unit by being associated with two different addresses. The first address generating unit generates a first address based on the current input signal. The second address generating unit generates a second address different from the first address based on the previous input signal. The distortion compensating unit obtains the distortion compensation coefficient corresponding to a combination of the first and second addresses from each of the distortion compensation coefficient storage units and performs a pre-distortion processing for the current input signal to the amplifying unit using the obtained distortion compensation coefficient.

As in a conventional technology, a hard clipping process and a filtering process are performed on a transmission signal. An original transmission signal is subtracted from a signal on which the processes have been performed, and an inverse sign signal to the suppressed signal is retrieved. By giving a gain to the signal, and adding up to the original transmission signal, a peak voltage is suppressed. The gain can be a ratio of a difference signal between a hard clipped signal and an original transmission signal to a signal of suppression of a filtered signal from the original transmission signal, or a value determined by a simulation depending on the cutoff frequency of a low pass filter used in the filtering process.

A peak suppression threshold value control unit receives an input of quality requirement information, such as a modulation system and coding ratio, from a baseband signal generation unit, determines a threshold value of a peak suppression unit based on the quality requirement information and outputs the threshold value to a peak suppression unit. The peak suppression unit applies a peak suppression control to a baseband signal input from a baseband signal generation unit based on the threshold value and outputs a signal (i.e., a peak suppression signal) applied by the peak suppression process.

In an electronic device having a circuit outputting a vector sum of two quadrature vector signals, an offset compensating device compensates the offset contained in the vector sum. The offset compensating device aims to flexibly adapt to deviation in characteristics and performances and various fluctuations, and to compensate offset stably and accurately. The offset compensating device includes a deviation monitor unit creating a vector signal by A/D-converting the aforementioned vector sum and by quadrature-demodulating it and monitoring the deviation of the DC components superposed on the vector signal, and an adaptive control unit updating the compensation vector determined in advance, based on adaptive algorithm minimizing expectation value of the product of the inner product between an increment vector and the compensation vector, and the latest deviation vector, and adding the compensation vector to an offset vector to be inputted, while being superposed on the input signal, to a circuit.

The distortion compensator which compensates the nonlinearity of a power amplifier in a radio communication device stops the operation of updating the automatic phase adjustment, automatic delay adjustment, equalizer adjustment, and distortion compensation table when something wrong is detected in the input to a distortion compensation unit such as a reference signal, feedback signal, address of the distortion compensation table, and phase value so that the distortion compensation coefficients may not be improperly updated.

In a distortion compensation device which uses distortion compensation coefficients to subject distortion compensation processing to an input signal and supply the result of the distortion compensation processing to a distorting device, calculates the distortion compensation coefficients based on the input signal before distortion compensation and the feedback signal fed back from the output side of the distorting device, and stores the calculated distortion compensation coefficients in association with the input signal, (1) the feedback signal is AD-converted; (2) the AD-converted output is subjected to fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing; (3) the FFT calculation result is used to calculate the value of either the signal-to-noise ratio SNR, or the adjacent channel leakage power ratio ACLR, or the noise level; (4) the delay time occurring in the distorting device and feedback loop is adjusted such that the difference between the above calculated value at the current time and the above calculated value at the immediately preceding time is either zero, or is equal to or less than a threshold value; and, (5) this adjustment processing is repeated to determine the accurate delay time, and based on this delay time the timing of each of the portions of the distortion compensation device is adjusted.
