Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for forming an address, which method is employed in signal predistortion used for compensating for signal distortions by means of corrector coefficients placed in a corrector table, the corrector coefficients being retrieved from the corrector table on the basis of the address.
- the invention also relates to an arrangement for forming a corrector table address used for signal predistortion which is used for compensating for signal distortions by means of corrector coefficients placed in a corrector table, the corrector coefficients being retrieved from the corrector table on the basis of the address.
- Linear modulation methods that enable a spectrum to be used efficiently are becoming more common in mobile systems.
- the linear modulation methods require that the amplifier must be as linear as possible.
- the power amplifiers in use cause intermodulation distortion to the signal.
- Intermodulation distortion occurs when the amplifier generates harmonic waves, i.e. new frequencies. More precisely, intermodular distortion occurs when an excitation signal comprises oscillation at different frequencies. In that case, the response comprises a number of signals whose frequencies are sums and differences of the exication frequencies and their multifolds. Distortion in the amplifier can further depend for example on the magnitude of capacitance and inductance in the amplifier.
- Distortion caused by intermodulation distortion is presented for example by means of a signal state diagram.
- the signal state diagram can be presented by means of coordinates.
- the AM- AM distortion causes signal state points to shift closer to the origin.
- the AM- PM distortion causes the signal state points to move round the origin.
- US-A-5138144 presents an error compensation method associated with image reading equipment, the method comprising address information calculations.
- calculating address information is time-based. More precisely, calculating an address is based on a clock pulse.
- the object of the present invention is to change the address distribution of a corrector table on the basis of the amplitude distribution of an input signal.
- This object is achieved by the method of the type presented in the introduction, characterized by calculating a base address on the basis of a signal, summing up the signal components of a signal composed of signal components, correcting the calculated base address by an address correction value, calculating a corrector table address on the basis of the base address and the corrected base address.
- the arrangement of the invention characterized in that the arrangement comprises calculation means that, on the basis of a received signal, calculate a result corresponding to the squaring of the received signal, summing means that, if required, sum up the results corresponding to the squaring, the sum forming a base address, and error correction means that correct the above calculated base address by means of an address correction value.
- the method of the invention provides many advantages.
- the method enables a correction table address to be formed without complicated calculations.
- a base address is formed before forming the actual corrector table address.
- the actual address is obtained by suitably processing the base address, the actual address then being used as the corrector table address.
- Processing the base address is carried out by using address correction means that correct the above calculated base address.
- Processing is carried out by means of address correcting values.
- the address correcting values arranged to the input signal enable an optimal corrector table address to be formed. The optimal address enables a distortion to be accurately compensated for.
- Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of a transceiver employing digital predistortion
- Figure 2 illustrates an arrangement used for forming a corrector table address used for digital predistortion.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of a transceiver arrangement using digital predistortion.
- the arrangement comprises predistortion means 100, calculation means 110 and calculation means 120.
- two signal components l(t) and Q(t) are introduced to the predistortion means 100.
- the signal components are also applied to both the calculation means 110 and 120.
- the calculation means 120 calculate corrector coefficients.
- the arrangement further comprises means 130 for establishing a corrector table.
- the corrector table comprises the corrector coefficients calcu- lated by the calculation means 120.
- the calculation means 110 calculate an address on the basis of the received signal components, the address being used for retrieving the corrector coefficients from the corrector table.
- the corrector coefficients are applied to the predistortion means 100 that compensate for signal distortions by means of the corrector coefficients.
- the arrangement further comprises a converter element 131 , a converter element 132, filter means 141 ,142, and an oscillator 150.
- the converter element 131 is connected to the predistortion means 100 that supply digital signals to the converter element 131.
- the converter element 132 is connected to the calculation means 120.
- the converter element 132 receives analogue signals.
- the converter element 132 converts the received analogue signal into a digital signal that is sent to the calculation means 120.
- the arrangement further comprises a modulator and a demodulator 161 ,162.
- the oscillator 150 generates a signal that is applied to the modulator 161 and to the demodulator 162 .
- the arrangement further comprises an amplifier 171 connected to the modulator 161.
- the arrangement further comprises an antenna 181 acting as a transceiver antenna in the solution according to the figure.
- the filter means 141 receive analogue signals arriving from the converter element 131.
- the filter means 141 low-pass filter the received sig- nal.
- the signal filtered by the filter means 141 is applied to the modulator 161.
- a signal generated by an oscillator 151 is modulated by the signal coming from the filter means 141.
- the modulated signal is applied to the amplifier 171 that amplifies the signal. After the amplification, the signal is sent through the antenna 181 to the radio path.
- the antenna 181 receives analogue signals from the radio path, the signals upon receiving being applied to the demodulator 162.
- the signal generated by the oscillator 151 is modulated by the signal coming from the antenna 181.
- the demodulated signal is applied to the filter means 142 that filter the signal. After filtering, the signal is converted into a digital signal in the converter element 132.
- Figure 2 shows an arrangement used for forming an address for the corrector coefficients placed in a corrector table.
- the figure thus presents the structure of the calculation means 110 in more detail.
- the arrangement comprises calculation means 210, 220, and a summing means 240.
- the summing means 240 is connected to the calculation means 210, 220.
- the summing means receives signals from the means 210, 220.
- the calculation means 210 receives a signal l(t).
- the calculation means 210 processes the received signal in such a way that the strength of the signal obtained from the output of the calculation means 210 is l 2 (t).
- the calculation means 220 receives a signal Q(t).
- the means 220 processes by preferably squaring the received signal in such a way that the strength of the signal obtained from the output of the calculation means 220 is Q 2 (t).
- the calculation means 210, 220 are implemented by a DSP technique.
- the output signals l 2 (t) and Q 2 (t) of the calculation means 210, 220 are applied to the summing means 240 that sums up the received signals.
- the calculation means 210, 220 generate an output signal for example by multi- plying their input signals by each other.
- the output signal can also be generated by using other types of calculation methods.
- the signal obtained from the output of the summing means 240 forms a base address.
- the base address is thus formed by squaring the input signals of the calculation means 210, 220. In practice, the squaring of the input signals corresponds to the calculation of the power of the input signals. Calculating an address according to the arrangement of the invention is thus based on the level of the input signal.
- the arrangement further comprises address correction means 250 in connection with the summing means 240.
- the base address formed by the summing means 240 is conveyed to the address correction means 250 that correct the above calculated base address by means of an address correction value.
- the base address corrected in the address correction means 250 is used as an actual address (ADDRESS) of the corrector table.
- a corrector coefficient is retrieved from the corrector table on the basis of the corrector table address that has been formed, the corrector coefficient compensating for signal distortions.
- the address correction values in the address correction means 250 are placed for example in a table.
- the address correction values arranged in the input signal enable an optimal address to be formed for the distortion corrector table.
- the values of the address correction table are preferably formed on the basis of the amplitude distribution of the input signal. The effect of the modulation method used is taken into account when generating values for the address correction table.
- the optimal address enables the use of an optimal corrector coefficient, whereby signal distortions can be accu- rately compensated for.
