- FIG. 1B shows an example in which the frequency bands are relatively close to each other, there are cases where the frequency bands are widely separated.
- the signal transmitted using the first frequency band is s 1 (t)
- the signal transmitted using the second frequency band is s 2 (t)
- the input signal x (t) of the predistorter is x

- predistorter in the case of using a plurality of frequency bands, there is a predistorter prepared independently for each frequency band as in, for example, “JP 2006-191673 A (Reference 1)”.
- a predistorter is prepared independently for each frequency band, so that the intermodulation distortion components of s 1 (t) and s 2 (t) cannot be generated by the predistorter. Therefore, even when the predistorter of Reference 1 is used, distortion components generated in the power amplifier remain.
- the conventional predistorter has a problem that the intermodulation distortion components of s 1 (t) and s 2 (t) cannot be sufficiently reduced.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object thereof is to provide a predistorter capable of compensating for an intermodulation distortion component generated in a power amplifier even when CA is used.

- a modulation distortion signal is generated, the carrier intermodulation distortion signal is adjusted, and a carrier intermodulation distortion compensation signal is output.
- the signal distribution unit distributes the input signal to the linear transmission path, the signal generation unit, and the sub signal generation unit.
- the signal synthesis unit generates a distortion compensation signal by combining the individual carrier distortion compensation signal and the carrier intermodulation distortion compensation signal, and generates an output signal by combining the input signal delayed by the linear transmission path and the distortion compensation signal. Then, the output signal is output to the amplification device.
- the control unit controls the signal generation unit and the sub signal generation unit using a feedback signal from the amplification device.
- an intermodulation distortion compensation signal corresponding to an intermodulation distortion component between carriers can be independently generated by the sub-signal generation unit, and the phase and amplitude of the signal are independently adjusted. Therefore, even when CA is used, the intermodulation distortion component generated in the power amplifier can be compensated.

- the distortion observer 1420 measures the power of each band of the distortion component (S901). . Determining power measured in band or all is below a predetermined threshold value P TH (S991). If the power of all the bands is equal to or less than the threshold value PTH , the adjustment process flow P12 is terminated.

Description
式(2)において、プリディストータの3次歪発生器で発生させた3次歪成分をdC(t)とすると、dC(t)は式(3)にように表すことができる。
実施例の説明に先立ち、本発明のプリディストータの原理を説明する。ここでは、電力増幅器が有する非線形特性のモデルを3次のべき級数とし、2つの周波数帯域を用いた場合を例とする。
図5に、本実施例の制御器1410が歪補償信号発生経路110を制御する調整処理フローP11を示す。調整処理フローP11は、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整(S1240a)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340aの調整(S1340a)、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240bの調整(S1240b)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの調整(S1340b)を順に行う。また、制御器1410は、例えば摂動法(「T. Nojima and T. Konno, “Cuber Predistortion Linearizer for Relay Equipment in 800 MHz Band Land Mobile Telephone System,”IEEE Transactions on vehicular technology, Vol. 34 , Issue 4, pp. 169-177, 1985.」参照)もしくは2次関数近似を用いる計算法(「J. Ohkawara, Y. Suzuki, and S. Narahashi, "Fast Calculation Scheme for Frequency Characteristic Compensator of Digital Predistortion Linearizer," IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference Spring 2009, proceedings, Apr. 2009.」参照)などの既知の方法により、3次歪ベクトル調整器の調整処理を行う。
(摂動法の場合)
3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aに与える位相値と振幅値の調整法として摂動法を用いた場合を説明する。制御器1410は、歪観測器1420に対し3次歪成分上側帯域3DU1もしくは3次歪成分下側帯域3DL1のいずれか一方の帯域の電力測定を指定して、その帯域内の電力を低減するように3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの位相値と振幅値をそれぞれ調整する。最初に任意に設定した位相値XP(後述の他の3次歪ベクトル調整器1240b、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340a、1340bの調整における初期値と同じ値である必要はない)の前後において指定した帯域内の電力PDを測定し、電力PDが減少する方向へ事前に定めたオフセット値ΔXPだけ位相を変更し、電力PDを歪観測器1420で測定する。位相値の変更と電力PDの測定を繰り返すことで、電力PDが予め定めた閾値TH以下となる位相値XPMINを求める。求めた位相値XPMINを3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aに設定する。振幅値についても同様の処理を行う。
(2次関数近似を用いる計算法の場合)
3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aに与える位相値と振幅値の調整法として2次関数近似を用いる計算法を用いた場合を説明する。異なるR点(以下、Rは3以上の整数)の位相値(XP1,XP2,…,XPR)にてそれぞれ指定した帯域内の電力(PD1,PD2,…,PDR)を測定し、用いた位相値(XP1,XP2,…,XPR)と測定した電力(PD1,PD2,…,PDR)から、最小2乗法により、位相値に対する指定した帯域内電力の依存性を示す2次関数(PD=a2XP2+a1XP+a0)の係数(a2,a1,a0)を求める。係数(a2,a1,a0)において電力PDを最小にする位相値XPMIN(=-a1/2a2)を3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aに設定する。振幅値についても同様である。ここでは、2次関数を例として説明したが、位相値の計算において位相値に対する指定した帯域内電力の依存性として、2次関数の係数ではなく三角関数(PD=b2cos(b1-XP)+b0)の係数(b2,b1,b0)を最小2乗法により求めてもよい。得られた三角関数において電力PDを最小にする(すなわちb1-XP=πである)位相値XPMIN(=b1-π)を3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aに設定する。
副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340aの調整は、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aと同様である。
3次歪ベクトル調整器1240bと副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの調整は、3次歪成分上側帯域3DU2もしくは3次歪成分下側帯域3DL2のいずれか一方の帯域を指定し、その帯域内の電力を低減するように、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整と同様の手順で、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240bと副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの位相値と振幅値をそれぞれ調整する。この際、要求される近似精度によって、Rの値を3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの場合とそれぞれ異なる値としてもよい。
電力増幅器230で発生する各帯域の歪成分は相互に依存する関係がある。そのため、調整処理フローP11のように3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整から副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの調整までをそれぞれ1度しか行わない場合、プリディストータで十分に歪成分を補償できない場合がある。この場合には、制御器1410の処理フローを、調整処理フローP12としてもよい。
調整処理フローP11および調整処理フローP12では、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aから副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bまでの調整を予め定めた順番で行なっているが、調整処理フローP13のように並列に処理するものとしてもよい。歪成分の相互に依存する関係による影響が小さい場合には、周波数帯域ごとに独立して並列に処理を行うことで、より短い処理時間で閾値PTH以下にすることができる場合がある。
歪補償信号発生経路の構成を簡易化するため、下記の変形例のように構成することができる。本変形例では、実施例1と比較して、副3次歪発生器1320と位相調整器1350a、1350bと合成器1360と副分配器1330と副ディジタルフィルタ1310a, 1310bの替わりに、3次歪算出器1370を備えることで、部品点数を削減することができ、歪補償信号発生経路の構成を簡易化できる。
実施例1の歪補償信号発生経路110の構成では、歪補償信号に周波数特性を与えることができない。そのため、実施例1のプリディストータ10では周波数依存性を持った歪成分を補償することができない。この課題を解決するために、下記の変形例のように構成することができる。本変形例では、3次歪ベクトル調整器の後段にそれぞれ3次歪周波数特性補償器を設置することで歪補償信号に周波数成分を与えることができる。
図14に、本変形例の制御器1411が歪補償信号発生経路112を制御する調整処理フローP14を示す。調整処理フローP14は、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整(S1240a)、3次歪周波数特性補償器1290aの調整(S1290a)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340aの調整(S1340a)、副3次歪周波数特性補償器1390aの調整(S1390a)、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240bの調整(S1240b)、3次歪周波数特性補償器1290bの調整(S1290b)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの調整(S1340b)、副3次歪周波数特性補償器1390bの調整(S1390b)を順に行う。
[実施例1変形例2の調整処理フローP15]
3次歪ベクトル調整器では周波数依存性を持った歪成分を補償できないため、3次歪ベクトル調整器で歪成分を補償した後に3次歪周波数特性補償器で周波数依存性を持った歪成分を補償した方が、より少ない繰返し回数ですべての帯域内の電力が閾値PTH以下となる場合がある。そのため、制御器1411の調整処理フローを以下に説明の調整処理フローP15としてもよい。
実施例1の変形例2の調整処理フローP15と同様の理由により、制御器1411の調整処理フローを以下に説明の調整処理フローP16のように構成してもよい。
実施例1の調整処理フローP13と同様の理由により、制御器1411の調整処理フローを以下に説明の調整処理フローP17のように構成してもよい。

2つの異なる周波数帯域を同時に使用する信号をそれぞれの信号発生装置から発生させる場合、実施例2変形例2のように構成することができる。
図26に、本実施例の制御器1413が歪補償信号発生経路116を制御する調整処理フローP31を示す。調整処理フローP31は、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整(S1240a)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340aの調整(S1340a)、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240bの調整(S1240b)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの調整(S1340b)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340cの調整(S1340c)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340dの調整(S1340d)を順に行う。副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340cの調整は、副ディジタルフィルタ1310cの出力した信号に対応する電力増幅器230で発生する歪成分の電力を歪観測器1423で測定した結果を参照し、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整と同様の手順で位相値と振幅値をそれぞれ調整する。同様に、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340dの調整は、副ディジタルフィルタ1310dの出力した信号に対応する電力増幅器230で発生する歪成分の電力を歪観測器1423で測定した結果を参照し、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整と同様の手順で位相値と振幅値をそれぞれ調整する。
実施例1の調整処理フローP12と同様の理由により、制御器1413の調整処理フローを調整処理フローP32のように構成してもよい。
[実施例3の調整処理フローP33]
副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340cと副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340dの低減する歪成分がその他の帯域に発生する歪成分に与える影響が小さい場合には、制御器1413の調整処理フローを以下に説明する調整処理フローP33とすることで、並列処理となることから、調整処理に要する時間をより少なくすることが期待できる。
[実施例3の調整処理フローP34]
歪成分の相互に依存する関係による影響が小さい場合には、制御器1413の調整処理フローを以下に説明する調整処理フローP34とすることで、調整処理に要する時間をさらに少なくすることが期待できる。
実施例3のプリディストータ16においても、実施例2と同様の理由により1つのDACでは対応できない場合、特に各信号の中心周波数から周波数間隔だけ離れた歪成分を補償する歪補償信号を1つのDACから出力できない場合、実施例3変形例のように構成することができる。
[実施例4の調整処理フローP41]
図35に、本実施例の制御器1414が歪補償信号発生経路118を制御する調整処理フローP41を示す。調整処理フロー12は、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240aの調整(S1240a)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340aの調整(S1340a)、3次歪ベクトル調整器1240bの調整(S1240b)、副3次歪ベクトル調整器1340bの調整(S1340b)、5次歪ベクトル調整器1260aの調整(S1260a)、副5次歪ベクトル調整器1380aの調整(S1380a)、副5次歪ベクトル調整器1380bの調整(S1380b)、5次歪ベクトル調整器1260bの調整(S1260b)、副5次歪ベクトル調整器1380cの調整(S1380c)、副5次歪ベクトル調整器1380dの調整(S1380d)を順に行う。
