  • Patent number: 9893746
    Abstract: A polynomial kernel generator is configured to mitigate nonlinearity in a receiver path from a transmitter path comprising a nonlinear component in a communication device or system. The polynomial kernel generator operates to generate polynomial kernels that can be utilized to model the nonlinearity as a function of a piecewise polynomial approximation applied to a nonlinear function of the nonlinearity. The polynomial kernel generator generates kernels in a multiplier less architecture with polynomial computations in a log domain using a fixed number of adders.
