现代移动通信系统中高效率高跟踪带宽包络线跟踪电源研究

Envelope tracking (ET) technique is capable of greatly improving the efficiency of the power amplifier in modern wireless communication system, which helps energy conservation and pollution reduction. The ET power supply is the key equipment of the ET system, and it has been facing huge challenges of accurately tracking the radio frequency signal envelope with continuously increased bandwidth and peak-to-average power ratio. The switch-linear hybrid (SLH) ET power supply is a combination of switching-mode converter and linear amplifier, featuring both high efficiency and high linearity, and has been gaining more and more attentions. This project will focus on the SLH ET power supply, aiming for a higher tracking bandwidth and a higher overall efficiency. The series-parallel combined form for SLH ET power supply will be proposed to reduce the output power of the linear amplifier, thus, obtaining a higher overall efficiency. As a basic constituent unit of SLH ET power supply, the switching-mode converter should realize high tracking bandwidth and efficiency. So, the multilevel dc-dc converter is adopted for the switching-mode converter. For the multilevel dc-dc converter, the voltage level numbers and magnitude of voltage levels will be optimized, and the topology and control of the voltage-level provider will be proposed. The spectrum of the radio frequency signal envelope will be analyzed, and the frequency band of the envelope will be properly divided and then assigned to the switching-mode converters and linear amplifier in the proposed series-parallel combined SLH ET power supply, for the purpose of achieving a higher efficiency. The mathematical model of the proposed series-parallel combined SLH ET power supply will be built, and the interaction among the constituent switching-mode converters and linear amplifier will be revealed based on the mathematical model, and then an effective control scheme will be proposed to increase the tracking bandwidth and overall efficiency. Finally, a prototype will be built aiming for a 20 MHz tracking bandwidth.
