1 Pre-distortion General Principles & Implementation in Xilinx FPGAs
2 Issues in Transmitter Design 3G systems place much greater requirements on linearity and efficiency of RF transmission stage Linearity constrained by tight spectral mask requirement Power Amps (PA) need to keep operational level close to the compression point to achieve high-efficiency Multicode transmission requires more backoff leading to reduced efficiency Output transmission spectral output dependent on Non-linearities of RF stages Modulation method and coding
3 Causes of distortion shown in blue Generic Transmission System DAC Analog Quadrature Modulator p/2 cos(2pf 0 t) DAC Baseband Modulator I Q Digital Baseband to IF Modulator - Amplitude imbalance - Quadrature errors - Offsets - DAC response (sinx/x) DAC Analog IF to RF Transposition High Power Amplifier+Filter - Solid state, tube - Non linear distortions - Linear distortions - Offset - DAC response (sinx/x) - SAW filter response
4 Transmitter Design Goals Minimize cost of components Minimize the Output Backoff (OBO) while keeping acceptable signal characteristics OBO = Psat-Pm Maximize the signal dynamic range at the HPA input (IBO), but without clipping IBOc = Pisat-Pic (IBOc < 0 = signal clipping inside the HPA)
5 Rationale of Pre-distortion Dynamic adjustment & correction of non-linear and linear distortions Backing off the output signal level is usually not sufficient Amplitude compression may be required Eliminate out-of-band spectrum noise Most critical issue (non-linearity's increase its level) Correction bandwidth : 3Bu to 4Bu
6 Benefits of Pre-Distortion Complexity transferred to the digital domain Simpler overall design Allows the analog power amplifier to be a simple Class AB design Frees manufacturers from complex feed-forward amplifiers Greater efficiency as analog error amplifier distortion circuitry not required
7 Distortion Correction Non-linear correction Inverse transform of the High Power Amplifier (HPA) transfer characteristic up to the saturation point Power Amp - Transfer Function Inverse Transfer Function Distortion Corrected Transfer Function Linear correction Keep residual peak ripple amplitude within required limits Residual group delay distortion to be maintained within desired limits
8 Degradation Model for Analog Quadrature Modulation From Baseband Desired output distortion limits for acceptable transmitter quality Amplitude imbalance (g) : < db Quadrature error (j) : < DAC offsets (oi, oq) : < 0.1% - 0.5% of the peak signal amplitude DAC sinx/x response Baseband degradation model () φ () g cos 0 Y () n = M( X() n + O) = X n + O g sin φ 1 ( () )
9 Degradation Issues for Analog Transposition from a Digital IF Transposition from digital IF involves Digital quadrature modulation around IF Up-conversion to a second IF + filter for image rejection Up-conversion to the final RF carrier Issues DAC sinx/x response and offset Amplitude and group delay distortions of the image rejection filter
10 Different Non-Linear Distortion Models Memoryless Model (narrow bandwidth) Equation ya(t)=g(xa(t)) where G() is a memoryless non-linear function AM/AM and AM/PM curves Represented by a set of points (256 values usually enough) or a polynomial approximation Frequency Dependent Model (large bandwidth, IOT) The AM/AM and AM/PM curves appropriate over a narrow bandwidth Results may differ substantially for sine waves outside a bandwidth of a few MHz Use Volterra series expansion: y(n)=g(x(n),x(n-1),...,x(n-p)) Non-linear order of ~5 (M=2) and time order of 2 to 5 samples Estimation of Volterra kernels g2k+1() by mean square fitting between input and output measurements
11 Non-Linear Spectral Degradation Spectrum at amplifier input In-band degradation Spectrum at amplifier output Spectrum Shoulders (spectral spreading)
12 High Power Filter Degradation Model Objective of filter Elimination of spectrum images generated by the High Power Amplifier (HPA) intermodulation products Eliminate the linear distortions between the output of the amplifier and the antenna Cannot reduce non-linear shoulders in the vicinity of the signal spectrum Will unacceptably degrade performance within the spectrum
13 Requirements of the High Power Filter Minimal amplitude and phase distortions Implement as complex filter at baseband level The correction should provide Equivalent noise degradation < 0.1 db Residual peak amplitude ripple within required limits Residual group delay distortion within acceptable limits
14 Pre-Distortion Requirements Out-of-band radiated power meets specified spectrum mask Minimal in-band effects Adaptive system (temperature variations, ) Slow adaptation rate Non-linear pre-correction functions should work at upsampled rate : Limitation of out-of-band shoulders Up sampling factor Normally 2 to 4
15 Pre-Distortion Functions (Memoryless case) Functions performed by the pre-distortion algorithm for memoryless non-linear effects Amplitude compression Signal dependent OBO optimization Signal clipping + shoulder filtering or adapted coding scheme Linear correction Complex adaptive FIR filter Non-linear correction Inverse Transform Look Up Table AM /AM and AM /PM Curves inversion Adaptation algorithm Slow rate (software implementation)
16 General Architecture of Adaptive Pre-distortion Systems Baseband signal - Amplitude compression - Shoulder level control - Rate adaptation - Linear correction - Non-linear correction Pre-processing Pre-distortion RF analog chain RF output Input signals Measurement signals LO Correlation and coefficient updating Measurement chain - Time synchronization - AM/AM & AM/PM curves estimation - "LMS" estimation of linear distortions
17 Amplitude Compression Issues Loss of power efficiency if the amplifier must "pass" all the signal dynamic range CDMA ~12 db Control of the signal dynamic range at the amplifier input The signal may be clipped without noticeable degradation at the receiver side Clipping must not occur within the HPA or the precorrection filters Limits the shoulder level on output
18 Amplitude Compression Guidelines Amplitude compression must be implemented at the transmitter input Signal clipping + low-pass filter for shoulder removal Should operate at a higher rate than the signal useful bandwidth Limitation of in-band degradation (Shoulder Aliasing) Interpolation filter on input Need to compromise Working frequency versus filter complexity
19 Amplitude Compression Implementation - Example 1 Sampling frequency 2B u to 4B u Target peak level x I x Q Interpolation Filter Cordic Algorithm ρ θ Comparator Cordic Algorithm Shoulder Filter y I y Q Useful bandwidth B u
20 Amplitude Compression Implementation - Example 1 Rectangular to polar conversion with the Cordic algorithm (16 bits) Full Parallel : < 700 slices Serial (16 CLK cycles per output) : < 300 slices Polar to rectangular conversion with the Cordic algorithm (16 bits) Full Parallel : < 750 slices Serial (16 CLK cycles per output) : < 350 slices Shoulder filter Number of taps defined by the spectrum mask Usually at least 40 to 60 taps May have complex shape (multiple channel processing) Complex taps Distributed arithmetic structure well adapted for sampling rates between MHz
21 Amplitude Compression Example 2 x I Sampling frequency 2B u to 4B u y I x Q Interpolation Filter Delay + y Q Useful bandwidth B u I/Q Clipping signal Shoulder Filter Peak Power Target peak level Clipping Factor Soft clipping gain : - 0 if no clipping - 1 if full clipping
22 Amplitude Compression Example 2 Very efficient Uses Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro embedded multipliers Computation of the clipping gain may be done with a RAM block Gain multiplication & shoulder filter may be integrated in the direct signal path As per Example 1 Shoulder filter requirements Same as Example 1
23 Pre-correction of Linear Distortions Input filter G i (f) i Look-Up Table Output filter G o (f) The input filter Gi(f) corrects the HPF linear distortions Inverse transform the HPF response within the signal bandwidth May operate at symbol rate Complex FIR filter, with adaptive coefficients Filter length usually 16 to 32 taps MAC implementation usually chosen Output filter Go(f) Must operate at a higher rate Should invert the RF modulation equivalent filter over the total correction bandwidth Not all implementations require this filter
24 Non-linear Memoryless x I x Q Sampling frequency 2B u to 4B u Cordic Algorithm Pre-correction r y r x f x LUT (RAM block) Df Example1: Polar Implementation - f y Cordic Algorithm y I y Q Inversion of the AM/AM & AM/PM amplifier curves Inversion of the amplifier curves up to the saturation point Implementation using a Look-Up Table RAMBlock Typically utilizes 1 double port RAM block I/Q to ρ/θ and ρ/θ to I/Q conversions on input/output using CORDIC algorithm
25 Non-linear Pre-correction Sampling frequency F s ~ 2B u to 4B u I/Q time multiplexed x I, x Q FPGA operating frequency : 4.F s y I x 2 I2 I +x 2 Q 1 Multiplier + 1 Accumulator LUT (BRAM) Df g Sine/cosine LUT (BRAM) 2 Accus + Reset + Capture y Q Example 2: I/Q Implementation y i and y q are symmetrical functions with of x i and x q Specification in the first quadrant is sufficient to define them completely Larger memory size than ρ/θ pre-correction : 12-bit input signal with 8-bit quantization of I/Q axis of amplifier curves 2x4b m-bit memory entries = 128 Kwords of 12 bits Memory reduction is possible 6-bit quantization of I/Q axis + bilinear interpolation on output = 8 K words of 12 bits
26 Estimation of Correction Coefficients Model the amplifier characteristic The overall dynamic scale needs to be calculated Normally 32K to 64K samples required at modulation rate to calculate coefficients Feedback structure of the return path RF to baseband demodulation via real time (FPGA) Analog quadrature demodulation must be avoided Digital demodulation needed DDS + complex multiplication + filter Calculate new coefficients in software (as low rate) Microblaze or Embedded PowerPC in Virtex-II Pro
27 Other Schemes Frequency dependent schemes Time dependencies are added to the Look-Up Table RAM RAM size can grow substantially Joint linear and non-linear correction Volterra Neural network based
