Description
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种自动增益控制装置及方法。The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an automatic gain control apparatus and method.
在无线通信环境中,由于传输射频信号的无线信道为时变性信道,存在着各种信号衰落现象,并且通信双方也可能会相互运动或是切换频道,所以无线接收机收到的射频信号功率是不可预知的,必定会在一个很大的范围内波动。当信号源很近或者信号传输条件很好时,接收机可能收到很强烈的信号,当信号源很远或者传输条件不好时,接收机可能接收到很微弱的信号。接收机可能接收到的信号功率的波动范围很大,即无线信号的动态范围很大。In a wireless communication environment, since the wireless channel transmitting the radio frequency signal is a time-varying channel, various signal fading phenomena exist, and both communication parties may move or switch channels, so the radio frequency signal power received by the wireless receiver is Unpredictable, it will certainly fluctuate within a large range. When the signal source is very close or the signal transmission conditions are good, the receiver may receive a very strong signal. When the signal source is far away or the transmission conditions are not good, the receiver may receive a very weak signal. The signal power that the receiver may receive varies widely, that is, the dynamic range of the wireless signal is large.
为了实现大动态范围的无线接收机,必须实现大动态范围的自动增益控制电路,调整接收机的信号增益使得信号功率稳定在一个期望数值附近,以尽可能减小信号功率变化带来的影响,使接收机可以稳定的解调出数据。在接收机中的自动增益控制电路设定完成合适的信号增益之前,接收机很有可能无法正常解调信号。因此,自动增益控制便成为通信系统实现中一个必不可少的部分。In order to realize a large dynamic range wireless receiver, it is necessary to implement a large dynamic range automatic gain control circuit to adjust the signal gain of the receiver so that the signal power is stabilized near a desired value to minimize the influence of signal power variation. The receiver can stably demodulate the data. It is highly probable that the receiver will not be able to demodulate the signal properly until the automatic gain control circuit in the receiver has set the appropriate signal gain. Therefore, automatic gain control becomes an indispensable part of the communication system implementation.
自动增益控制简称AGC,就是自动的对信号的增益,或者说功率、幅度进行控制。一般处于接收机这一端,通过检测接收到的信号能量来控制射频模块上的放大器对模拟信号功率进行调节,或者是对采样后的数字信号做幅度调节来实现信号功率的控制。The automatic gain control referred to as AGC is the automatic control of the gain of the signal, or power and amplitude. Generally, at the receiver end, the amplifier on the radio frequency module is controlled to adjust the power of the analog signal by detecting the received signal energy, or the amplitude of the sampled digital signal is adjusted to achieve signal power control.
AGC电路实现信号功率调整的目标,一是将模拟的射频信号放大到数模转换器量化的最优功率,二是确保接收机有足够大的动态范围来处理不同强度的信号。因此,采用AGC电路能够最大程度降低接收机模数转换器引入的量化噪声,并为解调器提供最优的信噪比,达到最低的误码率。The AGC circuit achieves the goal of signal power adjustment. One is to amplify the simulated RF signal to the optimal power quantized by the digital-to-analog converter, and the second is to ensure that the receiver has a large enough dynamic range to process signals of different intensities. Therefore, the AGC circuit can minimize the quantization noise introduced by the receiver analog-to-digital converter and provide the optimal signal-to-noise ratio for the demodulator to achieve the lowest bit error rate.
在无线数字音频广播领域,HD Radio、CDRadio、CDR等技术
方案通过数字模拟混叠同播的方式,允许现有的模拟调制信号和新的数字调制信号在同一个频带内播出,即带内同频(In Band On Channel,IBOC)技术。IBOC技术最大的特点在于无需新的频率资源分配,实现了传统模拟广播到数字广播的平滑过渡。In the field of wireless digital audio broadcasting, HD Radio, CDRadio, CDR and other technologies
The scheme allows the existing analog modulated signal and the new digital modulated signal to be broadcasted in the same frequency band through digital analog aliasing and simulcasting, that is, In Band On Channel (IBOC) technology. The biggest feature of IBOC technology is the smooth transition from traditional analog broadcast to digital broadcast without the need for new frequency resource allocation.
此类IBOC广播系统在同一个频率上混合传输模拟调频信号和数字OFDM调制信号,这些信号具有不同的发射功率,且由于无线传输过程中衰落效应的影响而出现时变的信号功率比,使得IBOC无线接收机在进行信号分离和解调时面临很大挑战。尤其是现有无线接收机的AGC电路设计结构难以满足IBOC信号的最佳接收效果,无法让同时播出的多路信号同时达到最优接收信噪比。导致同频播出的多路信号出现不同的接收质量和覆盖范围,对IBOC技术的推广、工程实施复杂度以及市场效益带来重大影响。Such IBOC broadcast systems mix and transmit analog FM signals and digital OFDM modulated signals on the same frequency, these signals have different transmit powers, and the time-varying signal power ratio occurs due to the fading effect during wireless transmission, making IBOC Wireless receivers face significant challenges in signal separation and demodulation. In particular, the AGC circuit design structure of the existing wireless receiver is difficult to satisfy the optimal reception effect of the IBOC signal, and the multi-channel signal simultaneously broadcast cannot achieve the optimal reception signal-to-noise ratio at the same time. The multi-channel signals broadcasted at the same frequency have different receiving quality and coverage, which has a significant impact on the promotion of IBOC technology, engineering implementation complexity and market efficiency.

本发明目的的实现、功能特点及优点将结合实施例,参照附图做进一步说明。The implementation, functional features, and advantages of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments.
应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
图1为本发明一种自动增益控制装置电路示意图,参照图1,所述装置包括:
1 is a schematic circuit diagram of an automatic gain control device according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the device includes:
第一AGC模块10、信号分离模块20、第二AGC模块30和第三AGC模块40;a first AGC module 10, a signal separation module 20, a second AGC module 30, and a third AGC module 40;
所述第一AGC模块10,用于接收混合信号,根据第一增益值对所述混合信号进行增益控制,并将经过增益控制的混合信号发送至信号分离模块20;The first AGC module 10 is configured to receive a mixed signal, perform gain control on the mixed signal according to a first gain value, and send the mixed signal that is subjected to gain control to the signal separation module 20;
需要说明的是,所述接收混合信号,接收的混合信号可以是通过接收机接收由射频前端和模数转换器发出的混合信号,即是通过将射频或基带的原始信号进行调制和数模转换以形成的混合信号;接收的混合信号还可以是直接接收已有的混合信号。其中,所述混合信号为包括模拟调幅信号、数字OFDM调制信号的集合,或者为包括模拟调幅信号、模拟调频信号、数字OFDM调制信号等其他信号的集合,本发明在此对混合信号不加以限制。It should be noted that, when the mixed signal is received, the received mixed signal may be received by the receiver by a mixed signal sent by the RF front end and the analog to digital converter, that is, by modulating and digital-to-analoging the original signal of the RF or baseband. To form a mixed signal; the received mixed signal may also be directly receiving an existing mixed signal. The mixed signal is a set including an analog amplitude modulated signal, a digital OFDM modulated signal, or a set of other signals including an analog amplitude modulated signal, an analog frequency modulated signal, a digital OFDM modulated signal, etc., and the present invention does not limit the mixed signal herein. .
可以理解的是,所述自动增益控制(automatic gain control)是使放大电路的增益自动地随信号强度而调整的自动控制方法。自动增益控制是限幅输出的一种,它利用线性放大和压缩放大的有效组合对输出信号进行调整。当弱信号输入时,线性放大电路工作保证输出信号的强度;当输入信号达到一定强度时,启动压缩放大电路,使输出幅度降低。也就是说,AGC功能可以通过改变输入输出压缩比例自动控制增益的幅度。AGC细分为AGCi(输入自动增益控制)和AGCo(输出自动增益控制)。It can be understood that the automatic gain control is an automatic control method that automatically adjusts the gain of the amplifying circuit with the signal strength. Automatic gain control is a type of limited output that uses an effective combination of linear amplification and compression amplification to adjust the output signal. When a weak signal is input, the linear amplifying circuit works to ensure the intensity of the output signal; when the input signal reaches a certain intensity, the compression amplifying circuit is activated to reduce the output amplitude. In other words, the AGC function can automatically control the magnitude of the gain by changing the input-output compression ratio. The AGC is subdivided into AGCi (input automatic gain control) and AGCo (output automatic gain control).
需要说明的是,所述将混合信号进行自动增益控制,其中自动增益控制包括内部AGC实现方式和外部AGC实现方式,根据射频前端的具体情况采用外部AGC实现方式或是内部AGC实现方式;所述AGC按信号调节方式可分为两种类型——调节外部模拟射频信号的外部AGC和调节内部数字采样信号的内部AGC。外部AGC是通过计算接收信号的功率,来控制射频模块的可变增益放大器,使得射频模块输出信号落在模数转换器的最佳动态范围之内并保持稳定,这里存在一个数字域到模拟域的反馈信号。而内部AGC则是计算出接收信号的增益调整系数,再和延时后的信号相乘,使得输出信号落在信号解调器的最佳动态范围之内并保持稳定。
It should be noted that the hybrid signal is subjected to automatic gain control, wherein the automatic gain control includes an internal AGC implementation manner and an external AGC implementation manner, and an external AGC implementation manner or an internal AGC implementation manner is adopted according to the specific situation of the radio frequency front end; The AGC can be divided into two types according to the signal adjustment mode: an external AGC that regulates the external analog RF signal and an internal AGC that adjusts the internal digital sampled signal. The external AGC controls the variable gain amplifier of the RF module by calculating the power of the received signal, so that the RF module output signal falls within the optimal dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter and remains stable. There is a digital domain to the analog domain. Feedback signal. The internal AGC calculates the gain adjustment coefficient of the received signal, and then multiplies the signal after the delay, so that the output signal falls within the optimal dynamic range of the signal demodulator and remains stable.
所述信号分离模块20,用于对所述经过增益控制的混合信号进行分离,将分离后的模拟信号发送至所述第二AGC模块30,将分离后的数字信号发送至所述第三AGC模块40;The signal separation module 20 is configured to separate the gain-controlled mixed signal, send the separated analog signal to the second AGC module 30, and send the separated digital signal to the third AGC. Module 40;
需要说明的是,对所述经过增益控制的混合信号进行分离的过程包括:将经过增益控制的混合信号实施分离,为分离出的模拟信号和数字OFDM信号再各自单设一个后级AGC,即第二AGC模块30和第三AGC模块40,对分离后的信号做进一步调整,其中第二AGC模块30负责对所述模拟信号进行增益控制,第三AGC模块40负责对所述数字信号进行增益控制,当然如果对所述混合信号实施分离后,有其他的类型的信号,那么与该类型信号对应的设置一个AGC模块,用于对该类型信号进行增益控制。It should be noted that the process of separating the gain-controlled mixed signal includes: separating the mixed signal that has undergone gain control, and separately setting a subsequent AGC for the separated analog signal and the digital OFDM signal, that is, The second AGC module 30 and the third AGC module 40 further adjust the separated signal, wherein the second AGC module 30 is responsible for gain control of the analog signal, and the third AGC module 40 is responsible for performing gain on the digital signal. Control, of course, if there is another type of signal after the separation of the mixed signal, an AGC module corresponding to the type of signal is provided for gain control of the type signal.
所述第二AGC模块30,用于根据第二增益值对所述模拟信号进行增益控制,获得增益模拟信号;The second AGC module 30 is configured to perform gain control on the analog signal according to a second gain value to obtain a gain analog signal;
所述第三AGC模块40,用于根据第三增益值对所述数字信号进行增益控制,获得增益数字信号;The third AGC module 40 is configured to perform gain control on the digital signal according to a third gain value to obtain a gain digital signal;
所述第二AGC模块30,还用于根据第二功率差值对所述第一增益值进行调整,根据所述第二功率差值对所述第三增益值进行调整,将调整后的第一增益值发送至所述第一AGC模块10,将调整后的第三增益值发送至所述第三AGC模块40;所述第二功率差值为根据所述模拟信号的第二功率估计值和第二预设参考功率值相减得到的差值,所述第二功率估计值为预设时间段内所述模拟信号的平均功率值。The second AGC module 30 is further configured to adjust the first gain value according to the second power difference, and adjust the third gain value according to the second power difference, and the adjusted Sending a gain value to the first AGC module 10, and transmitting the adjusted third gain value to the third AGC module 40; the second power difference value is a second power estimation value according to the analog signal And a difference obtained by subtracting the second preset reference power value, wherein the second power estimation value is an average power value of the analog signal in the preset time period.
可以理解的是,所述第二AGC模块30对所述第一AGC模块10和所述第三AGC模块40进行修正,是指所述将各个AGC电路相互修正,即利用模拟信号和数字信号各自的特性进行相互校准,使各路信号都能获得最佳的解调性能;所述利用数字信号解调结果修正增益调整系数是指利用类似解调器等解调设备对数字信号进行解调,以获得相应数字信号解调结果,通过所述数字信号解调结果对增益调整系数进行调整。其中,所述增益调整系数,其取值大小对增益值的收敛速度和稳定性有决定性的影响。较大的增益调整系数值使得AGC收
敛速度加快,可以适应快速变化的动态接收环境,但其稳定性差,更容易受噪声信号影响,导致增益调整后的信号出现明显抖动;较小的增益调整系数值可以使信号抖动非常小,但收敛速度比较慢,不适用于快速变化的动态接收环境。为此,本方案采用紧耦合的方式,让各个AGC电路相互修正,并利用数字信号解调结果修正增益调整系数,使得各个AGC都能工作在最佳状态。It can be understood that the modification of the first AGC module 10 and the third AGC module 40 by the second AGC module 30 means that the respective AGC circuits are mutually modified, that is, using analog signals and digital signals respectively. The characteristics are mutually calibrated so that each signal can obtain the best demodulation performance; the use of the digital signal demodulation result to correct the gain adjustment coefficient refers to demodulation of the digital signal by a demodulation device such as a demodulator. A corresponding digital signal demodulation result is obtained, and the gain adjustment coefficient is adjusted by the digital signal demodulation result. The gain adjustment coefficient has a decisive influence on the convergence speed and stability of the gain value. Large gain adjustment factor value makes AGC close
The convergence speed is increased, and it can adapt to the rapidly changing dynamic receiving environment, but its stability is poor, and it is more susceptible to noise signals, resulting in significant jitter of the gain-adjusted signal; smaller gain adjustment coefficient values can make the signal jitter very small, but The convergence speed is slow and it is not suitable for the fast changing dynamic receiving environment. To this end, the scheme adopts a tight coupling method to make each AGC circuit mutually correct, and uses the digital signal demodulation result to correct the gain adjustment coefficient, so that each AGC can work in an optimal state.
相应地,所述第二AGC模块30根据所述第二功率差值通过下式对所述第一增益值进行调整:Correspondingly, the second AGC module 30 adjusts the first gain value according to the second power difference by:
Gnext1=G1+α1·ΔP1+β1·ΔP2
G next1 =G 1 +α 1 ·ΔP 1 +β 1 ·ΔP 2
其中,Gnext1为所述调整后的第一增益值,G1为所述第一增益值,ΔP1为第一功率差值,所述第一功率差值为根据所述混合信号的第一功率估计值和第一预设参考功率值相减得到的差值,所述第一功率估计值为预设时间段内所述混合信号的平均功率值;ΔP2为所述第二功率差值,α1和β1为适应于所述第一AGC模块的预设增益调整系数。Where G next1 is the adjusted first gain value, G 1 is the first gain value, ΔP 1 is a first power difference value, and the first power difference value is first according to the mixed signal And a difference between the power estimation value and the first preset reference power value, wherein the first power estimation value is an average power value of the mixed signal in a preset time period; and ΔP 2 is the second power difference value , α 1 and β 1 are preset gain adjustment coefficients adapted to the first AGC module.
需要说明的是,使用分离后的所述第二AGC模块30的计算结果对所述第一AGC模块10进行修正。因为所述模拟调频信号为恒包络信号,对信号强度的跟踪更加准确It should be noted that the first AGC module 10 is corrected by using the calculation result of the separated second AGC module 30. Because the analog FM signal is a constant envelope signal, the tracking of the signal strength is more accurate.
α1和β1为适应于所述第一AGC模块10的预设增益调整系数,可根据具体系统设置一个合适的确定值。α 1 and β 1 is adapted to the predetermined gain adjustment coefficient of the first AGC module 10 may set an appropriate value is determined according to the specific system.
相应地,所述第二AGC模块30根据所述第二功率差值通过下式对所述第三增益值进行调整:Correspondingly, the second AGC module 30 adjusts the third gain value according to the second power difference by:
Gnext3=G3+α3·ΔP3+β3·ΔP2
G next3 =G 3 +α 3 ·ΔP 3 +β 3 ·ΔP 2
其中,Gnext3为所述调整后的第三增益值,G3为所述第三增益值,ΔP3为第三功率差值,所述第三功率差值为根据所述数字信号的第三功率估计值和第三预设参考功率值相减得到的差值,所述第三功率估计值为预设时间段内所述数字信号的平均功率值;ΔP2为所述第二功率差值,α3和β3为适应于所述第三AGC模块40的预设增益调整系数。
Where G next3 is the adjusted third gain value, G 3 is the third gain value, ΔP 3 is the third power difference value, and the third power difference value is the third according to the digital signal. a difference obtained by subtracting the power estimated value from a third preset reference power value, the third power estimated value being an average power value of the digital signal in a preset time period; ΔP 2 being the second power difference value , α 3 and β 3 are preset gain adjustment coefficients adapted to the third AGC module 40.
可理解的是,使用分离后的所述第二AGC模块30的计算结果对所述第三AGC模块40进行修正。因为数模混合信号中的数字信号功率远低于模拟调频信号,在高噪声环境下,所述第三AGC模块40输入的数据中含有很大比例的噪声分量,使得信号功率估计不准确。而所述第二AGC模块30输入的数据为调频信号采样,具有较高的信噪比,所以其计算结果可用来对所述第三AGC模块40进行修正。It can be understood that the third AGC module 40 is modified by using the calculation result of the separated second AGC module 30. Because the digital signal power in the digital-analog mixed signal is much lower than the analog frequency modulated signal, in the high-noise environment, the data input by the third AGC module 40 contains a large proportion of noise components, so that the signal power estimation is inaccurate. The data input by the second AGC module 30 is a frequency modulated signal sample, and has a high signal to noise ratio, so the calculation result can be used to correct the third AGC module 40.
需要说明的是,功率差值为根据功率估计值和预设参考功率值相减得到的差值,所述功率估计值为预设时间段内信号的平均功率值,计算在预设时间内的N个采样信号s(i)的平均功率,计算公式如下:It should be noted that the power difference is a difference obtained by subtracting the power estimation value from the preset reference power value, where the power estimation value is an average power value of the signal in the preset time period, and is calculated in a preset time period. The average power of the N sampled signals s(i) is calculated as follows:
其中,Pest为所述功率估计值,N为AGC的跟踪和控制周期长度,s(i)为采样信号。Where P est is the power estimation value, N is the tracking and control period length of the AGC, and s(i) is the sampling signal.
利用功率差值对当前增益值进行调整,所述功率差值为所述功率估计值与预设参考功率值的差值,计算公式如下:The current gain value is adjusted by using a power difference value, where the power difference value is a difference between the power estimation value and a preset reference power value, and the calculation formula is as follows:
ΔP=Pref-Pest
ΔP=P ref -P est
其中,ΔP为所述功率差值,Pref为所述预设参考功率值,Pest为所述功率估计值。Where ΔP is the power difference value, P ref is the preset reference power value, and P est is the power estimation value.

应当理解的是,在无线通信环境中,由于传输射频信号的无线信
道为时变性信道,存在着各种信号衰落现象,并且通信双方也可能会相互运动或是切换频道,所以无线接收机收到的射频信号功率是不可预知的,必定会在一个很大的范围内波动。当信号源很近或者信号传输条件很好时,接收机可能收到很强烈的信号,当信号源很远或者传输条件不好时,接收机可能接收到很微弱的信号。接收机可能接收到的信号功率的波动范围很大,即无线信号的动态范围很大。It should be understood that in a wireless communication environment, due to the wireless signal transmitting the radio frequency signal
The channel is a time-varying channel, and there are various signal fading phenomena, and the two communicating parties may move or switch channels. Therefore, the power of the RF signal received by the wireless receiver is unpredictable and must be in a large range. Internal fluctuations. When the signal source is very close or the signal transmission conditions are good, the receiver may receive a very strong signal. When the signal source is far away or the transmission conditions are not good, the receiver may receive a very weak signal. The signal power that the receiver may receive varies widely, that is, the dynamic range of the wireless signal is large.
可以理解的是,衰落现象包括慢衰落和快衰落,所述慢衰落是指由于在电波传输路径上受到建筑物或山丘等的阻挡所产生的阴影效应而产生的损耗。所述快衰落是指,移动台附近的散射体(地形,地物和移动体等)引起的多径传播信号在接收点相叠加,造成接收信号快速起伏的现象。It can be understood that the fading phenomenon includes slow fading and fast fading, which refers to loss due to a shadow effect caused by blocking of a building or a hill or the like on a radio wave transmission path. The fast fading refers to a phenomenon in which multipath propagation signals caused by scatterers (topography, features, moving objects, etc.) in the vicinity of the mobile station are superimposed at the receiving point, causing a rapid fluctuation of the received signal.
