A kind of power amplifier grid voltage adjusting means and adjusting method
Technical field
The present invention relates to circuit testing technology field, more particularly to a kind of power amplifier grid voltage adjusting means and adjusting method.
Background technology
The test of power amplifier, it is necessary first to adjust grid voltage, suitable grid voltage is stored in EEPROM.Test gain
When, first load grid voltage, the specific yield value of re-test (TX, RX, OPD, RPD).When adjusting grid voltage, mainly by reading external electricity
What the current value in source determined.An initial voltage value is first put, then checks the current value of external power supply, if reached setting
Target current, if reaching, this initial voltage value is exactly the grid voltage for needing to set.If it is not reaching to, it is necessary to
Regulation voltage level, until electric current that external power supply is shown reaches the target current of needs.If the grid voltage adjusted is inaccurate, meeting
Test board gain test value is caused to deviate actual value.
Because test system (board), when just adding external power supply (such as 30V), a low noise current can be produced, such as
If the precision of fruit power supply is not high, this low noise current is read less than being then shown as 0mA or display is inaccurate, can cause reality
Target current it is inaccurate.Such as:The initial current that system (board) is brought by low noise is 15mA, target current 50mA, because
Not reaching for the precision of programmable power supply, when power-up, low noise current can not be shown, the low noise current for causing to read is 0mA,
Therefore, when target current is to 50mA, actually now real target current is 50mA-15mA=35mA;What we were adjusted
Grid voltage is the grid voltage that target current is 35mA in fact, and this has resulted in the inaccuracy of subsequent gain value.The precision of external power supply
It is whether good with the degree of accuracy, determine whether regulation grid voltage is accurate.Current power supplys many on the market, precision is inconsistent, can be to product
Test especially needs the product test of low current to cause very big influence.Moreover, because the precision problem of power supply, same board
Inconsistent, the yield value (TX, RX, OPD, RPD) for causing same board to be tested in varying environment in the grid voltage of varying environment regulation
Also it is inconsistent.
At present regulation grid voltage some use Agilent 5747A/5767A power supplys, the precision of this power supply is not
Height, precision 47.5mA.By concatenating grid voltage electric current and instrument read-out by universal meter between power supply and system (board)
The contrastive test of grid voltage electric current read-out by (5747A), as shown in figure 1, contrast test is found:This power supply specific precision with
Under (such as 40mA), read the low noise current less than system.When precision is critical, the actual current of reading can be inaccurate.In order to test
This species diversity is demonstrate,proved, concatenates High Precision Multimeter in circuit, the numerical value of power supply and universal meter can be read respectively, be shown in Table 1:
The circuit of table 1 concatenates universal meter, target grid voltage 65mA/65mA/315mA
Explanation:In table 1, actual current value is the target current that power amplifier board needs to reach;Actual current value=universal meter
Reading-low noise current (such as upper table, low noise current 14mA);The power supply reading of actual current value=5747-low noise current is (as above
Table, low noise current 0mA);From table 1 it follows that actual current differs 0mA~26mA.
And in actual test, low noise current is about 15mA or so, the minimum 50mA of target current, uses Agilent's
5747A/5767A power supplys, there is low noise current and read less than (being read as 0mA), the numerical value read during to target current is also inaccurate,
The grid voltage for causing same board varying environment to adjust is different, and yield value is also different;(power supply that varying environment uses is different)
The grid voltage and yield value that same board is adjusted in varying environment are as shown in table 2:
The grid voltage and yield value that 2 same board of table is adjusted in varying environment
It can be seen that, same board has 0mV~144mV difference, TX yield values in the grid voltage of varying environment from table 2
There are larger skew, 0.03dB~1.58dB.
Therefore, the method for existing regulation power amplifier grid voltage, the power amplifier grid voltage of regulation are not actual value, power amplifier gain
The value of test is not actual value, and the grid voltage of same board varying environment commissioning and the yield value of test are inconsistent.
