集成射频rms功率检测器提高了3g的效率和性能
集成的RF功率检测器提供了更高的灵敏度、稳定性和简单性,超过了传统二极管探测器的可用性。几乎所有的无线应用都有集成探测器,但是对于使用复杂调制波形的蜂窝电话应用,RMS检测器通常提供更高的精度。为了建立高效的3G和4G蜂窝系统,工程师们可以利用各种供应商的高性能RMS功率检测器,包括模拟设备、线性技术和德克萨斯仪器。
几乎所有的无线应用都要求精确测量传输和接收信号链中的射频功率。输入射频功率的精确测量是在接收信号链保持效率至关重要,在自动增益控制(AGC)或自动电平控制(ALC)电路是需要保持在水平最适合模数转换和解调信号。准确测量输出功率对于确保符合法规要求至关重要。这里,一个集成的RF功率检测器将监视通过定向耦合器检测的输出功率,并通过模拟数字转换器(ADC)提供测量信号到数字控制电路,然后根据需要调整功率放大器(PA)增益(图1)。

Engineers can choose from a broad variety of RF power detectors including peak detectors, log detectors, and RMS detectors. While each type offers its own advantages, RMS detectors offer the greatest accuracy in RF power measurement of complex signals with high crest factors found in advanced 3G and 4G cellular networks. High crest factors, or peak-to-average ratios, are inherent in spread-spectrum methods such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), and modulation schemes such as higher-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) used in high-speed W-CDMA, WiMAX, and LTE networks.
