摘要:
A distortion compensator that compensates for distortion arising in a main amplifier 10 that amplifies a signal effectively compensates for third order distortion which is unbalanced between the higher frequency band and lower frequency band. An amplitude detector 3 detects the level of a signal subject to amplification and a signal level change direction detection means 7 detects the direction of change in the level of the signal. A signal level change control means 4-8 stores the correspondence between the signal level and the mode of changing the signal in order to compensate for distortion for when the direction of change in the signal level is positive and when it is negative, and controls a signal change means 9 so that the amplitude and phase of the signal is changed in a mode of changing the signal corresponding to the detected direction of change in the signal level and the detected signal level. A signal change control content updating means 11-13 updates the content of this correspondence so that the distortion contained in the signal after amplification is reduced.

A distortion reducing circuit compensates an upper side third-order distortion and a lower side third-order distortion produced by an amplifier for amplifying a fundamental signal including multiple frequency components. The distortion reducing circuit includes a second harmonic reflection coefficient regulation circuit, installed at an output side of the amplifier, for regulating reflection coefficients for multiple frequency components included in a second harmonic signal to have a constant value.

There is provided a distortion canceling circuit for reducing an unbalance between a higher and a lower 3rd order distortion at frequencies of (2·f2−f1) and (2·f1−f2), respectively, the distortions being generated by an amplifier which amplifies an input signal having at least two frequency components, i.e., f1 and f2. Phase modulation control means supply a control signal, which has a difference frequency of (f2−f1), to phase modulation means, the control signal being generated based on the amplified input signal outputted from the amplifier. The phase modulation means performs phase modulation on the amplified input signal based on the supplied control signal to thereby generate a higher and a lower side-band signal having frequencies of (2·f2−f1) and (2·f1−f2), respectively, each of which has an identical amplitude and a phase difference of 180° with respect to each other. The distortion canceling circuit reduces the unbalance by using the side-band signals.

A distortion compensation amplifier has a distortion detection loop that divides an input signal, amplifies one divided signal with an amplifier and uses the amplified signal and another divided signal to detect a distortion component generated and introduced into the amplified signal in the amplifier. The amplifier additionally has a distortion removal loop that removes the detected distortion component from the amplified signal produced by the amplifier. The distortion detection loop comprises a filter for reducing the distortion component of the amplified signal output by the amplifier that was generated and introduced into the amplified signal in the amplifier and detects the distortion component reduced by the filter. The distortion removal loop removes from the amplified signal the detected distortion component that was produced by the amplifier and reduced by the filter.
摘要:
Excellent compensation of the distortion is realized with a distortion-compensated amplifier device that compensates a distortion that is generated in a main amplifier, through the respective operations of a circuit comprised of a distortion-detecting loop and a distortion-compensating loop and a pre-distortor. In a distortion-detecting loop, the signal is distributed. With respect to one distribution signal, a vector adjuster (2) performs vector adjustment of it and the pre-distortor (3) generates a distortion. A main amplifier (4) amplifies this signal. The resulting amplification signal and the other distribution are composed, whereby a distortion component is detected. In a distortion-compensating loop, that amplification signal and this distortion component are composed to thereby eliminate the distortion component from the amplification signal. In a control part, a distortion component level detecting means (12) detects the levels of the distortion component that is detected. Vector adjusting/controlling means (14) and (15) controls the vector adjusting means (2) to thereby make the average value of those levels small. On the other hand, pre-distortor controlling means (16) and (17) controls the pre-distortor (3) to thereby make the peak values of those levels.
摘要:
In a distortion detecting loop, an inputted RF signal is branched into two input signals by a distributor, one of the branched input signals is amplified by a main amplifier whose output signal is branched by a directional coupler, the branched output signal from the amplifier and the other branched input signal are inverted relatively to each other and combined together to extract a distortion component signal produced by the main amplifier with a detector. If the amplitude of the distortion component signal is greater than a predetermined threshold, then a control circuit changes the distortion component signal to a substitute signal having an amplitude smaller than the predetermined threshold, and controls a vector adjuster based on the amplitudes of the detected distortion component signal and the substitute signal in order to reduce the amplitude of the detected distortion component signal.
