  • Publication number: 20240022217
    Abstract: As solution for predistorting a signal is presented. The solution comprises receiving (600) as an input a signal comprising at least two signal components on a different band, sampling (602) the input signal comprising linear terms, composite non-linear terms causing intermodulation outside Nyquist band of the input signal and further non-linear terms causing intermodulation inside the Nyquist band, the further non-linear terms comprising multi-band terms. Oversampling (604) by a given factor is applied to the signal in a first predistortion circuit for processing the linear terms and composite non-linear terms causing intermodulation outside Nyquist band; processing (606) the input signal without oversampling in a second predistortion circuit in parallel with the first predistortion circuit for the further non-linear terms. The rates of the output signals of the predistortion circuits are matched (608), combined and filtered (610).

  • Publication number: 20220173704
    Abstract: This specification relates to digital pre-distortion of signals before power amplification during the transmission of a signal. A method comprising: receiving an input signal 1st and 2nd subband signals associated with 1st and 2nd centre frequencies; applying a pre-distortion to the input signal to generate a pre-distorted signal, the pre-distortion applying an inverse to a power amplification model associated with a power amplifier; and outputting the pre-distorted signal for power amplification. The power amplification model or the inverse to the power amplification model comprises a first plurality of terms and a second plurality of terms. Each of the 1st and 2nd plurality of terms comprising a product of a complex coefficient, a power factor, and other factors depending on if it is 1st or 2nd plurality of terms.
