How to config DPD on AD9375?

Donot post duplicate threads. Will be followed here:

HI srimoyi,

I have mistake once post this question in to that forum, then I received this answer:

"Moving to No-Os forum for comments on the DPD configuration"

Because I don't know delete that question, I have post again in this forum.

Thanks

Without Tx output EVM plot with DPD its hard to say.

If you reduce the Tx power by 3 dB how is the performance with DPD ? 

Hi, In above test cases, I get status of mykonosVswrStatus and mykonosClgcStatus. I see both errorStatus and  trackCount return 0. Why trackCount = 0( Number of times clgc and vswr has successfull run since initialization calibration = 0)
)?. Is it affect to successfull of DPD?

CLGC and VSWR do not impact DPD. They are seperate cal. 

Your DPD iteration count is increasing , so set up required for DPD is correct. May be there is something wrong with CLGC configuration.

Hi Vinod,

In page 4 of ad9375 datasheet, specification of image rejection at 5500Mhz is 50dbm. But once I try with 3 tone signal 3Mhz, 6Mhz, 9Mhz on AD9375, It generate 3 image -3Mhz, -6Mhz, -9Mhz. and not pass specification.

How to decrease or filter 3 above image signal. How to configure AD9375 to decrease image signal?

Can you share screenshot of your measurement. Are you running QEC tracking calibration.?

With single tone , what is the level of image?

What is your application ? If its 4G/5G can you test with a 4G signal at offset and measure QEC performance with tracking cals enabled? 

Thanks

 I implement Calib DPD with:

trackingCalMask = TRACK_ORX1_QEC | TRACK_ORX2_QEC | TRACK_RX1_QEC |
                             TRACK_RX2_QEC | TRACK_TX1_QEC | TRACK_TX2_QEC | TRACK_TX1_LOL | TRACK_TX2_LOL;

 initCalMaskDpd =  TX_LO_LEAKAGE_EXTERNAL | DPD_INIT | CLGC_INIT | VSWR_INIT;

You say :"Your DPD iteration count is increasing , so set up required for DPD is correct. May be there is something wrong with CLGC configuration"

Maybe CLGC configuration not correct because I read  status of CLGC :

Both clgcStatus.errorStatus and  clgcStatus.trackCount return 0x00;

I configure Clgc by api:

    mykError = MYKONOS_configClgc(&mykDevice);
    if (mykError != MYKONOS_ERR_OK) {
        errorString = getMykonosErrorMessage(mykError);
//        goto error_11;
    }
 and clgcConfig default:

static mykonosClgcConfig_t clgcConfig =
{
    -2000,          /* (value = 100 * dB (valid range -32768 to 32767) - total gain and attenuation from Mykonos Tx1 output to ORx1 input in (dB * 100)*/
    -2000,          /* (value = 100 * dB (valid range -32768 to 32767) - total gain and attenuation from Mykonos Tx2 output to ORx2 input in (dB * 100)*/
    0,              /* (valid range 0 - 40dB), no default, depends on PA, Protects PA by making sure Tx1Atten is not reduced below the limit*/
    0,              /* (valid range 0 - 40dB), no default, depends on PA, Protects PA by making sure Tx2Atten is not reduced below the limit*/
    75,             /* valid range 1-100, default 75*/
    75,             /* valid range 1-100, default 45*/
    0,              /* 0= allow CLGC to run, but Tx1Atten will not be updated. User can still read back power measurements.  1=CLGC runs, and Tx1Atten automatically updated*/
    0,              /* 0= allow CLGC to run, but Tx2Atten will not be updated. User can still read back power measurements.  1=CLGC runs, and Tx2Atten automatically updated*/
    0,              /* 16th of an ORx sample (16=1sample), (default 0, valid -64 to 64)*/
    255,            /* Default 255 (-30dBFs=(20Log10(value/8192)), (valid range  1 to 8191)*/
    600,            /* Threshold for Tx1 in order to stop tracking, value = 100 * dB, default 6db then value = 600*/
    600,            /* Threshold for Tx2 in order to stop tracking, value = 100 * dB, default 6db then value = 600*/
    0,              /* Threshold feature enable for Tx1, 0 = disable, 1 = enable, default = 0*/
    0               /* Threshold feature enable for Tx1, 0 = disable, 1 = enable, default = 0*/
};

How to configure to run success CLGC ?

Your CLGC config looks fine.

Can you please share your complete sequence? (Including CLGC init and tracking)

Thanks PVALAVAN for your reply.

When change frequency,I run DPD and CLGC calibration follow this sequence:

What is the Tx attenuation you are using to set the target power with CLGC? You should not use 0 dB attenuation, as CLGC need some headroom to track the target power by changing the Tx Attenuation.

Can you please print the complete status of CLGC?

typedef struct
{
uint32_t errorStatus;
uint32_t trackCount;
int32_t desiredGain;
int32_t currentGain;
uint32_t txGain;
int32_t txRms;
int32_t orxRms;
} mykonosClgcStatus_t;

You shall test CLGC by varying the ORX attenuation and see whether the Target power is maintained or not.

Please refer to the below post for reference,

Thanks PVALAVAN, Vinod

Sorry, I have mistake when get CLGC status.

 I veryfied CLGCStatus again every 1s. It return in order
clgcStatus.errorStatus, clgcStatus.trackCount, clgcStatus.desiredGain, clgcStatus.currentGain, clgcStatus.txGain, clgcStatus.txRms, clgcStatus.orxRms

CLGCStatus: 9 27 -2000 -809 40 -1662 -2472

CLGCStatus: 9 47 -2000 -854 40 -1668 -2523

I check errorStatus = 9. Thats means: "

"

But in clgcConfig, i had enabled allowTx1AttenUpdates/allowTx2AttenUpdates

static mykonosClgcConfig_t clgcConfig =
{
    -2000,          /* (value = 100 * dB (valid range -32768 to 32767) - total gain and attenuation from Mykonos Tx1 output to ORx1 input in (dB * 100)*/

    600,            /* Threshold for Tx1 in order to stop tracking, value = 100 * dB, default 6db then value = 600*/
    600,            /* Threshold for Tx2 in order to stop tracking, value = 100 * dB, default 6db then value = 600*/
    0,              /* Threshold feature enable for Tx1, 0 = disable, 1 = enable, default = 0*/
    0               /* Threshold feature enable for Tx1, 0 = disable, 1 = enable, default = 0*/
};

Can you give solution?

I guess what you are seeing is correct. You need to enable allowTx1AttenUpdates/
allowTx2AttenUpdates. 

This thread has become too long. Can you start a new thread if CLGC issue is still not resolved.
