  • Publication number: 20210367564
    Abstract: A linearization device (380) is disclosed, which is configured to determine pre-distortion parameters associated with a plurality of non-linear amplifiers (331, 332, 333, 334). Each of the non-linear amplifiers is associated with one of a plurality of transmit antenna elements and with a non-linear transfer function defining an output of the non-linear amplifier based on an input of the non-linear amplifier and based on a reflection signal for the non-linear amplifier, resulting from mutual couplings among the plurality of transmit antenna elements. The linearization device comprises a first port (381), a second port (382), and determination circuitry (383). The first port is configured to receive a plurality of channel coefficients indicative of channel characteristics of a plurality of communication paths between the plurality of non-linear amplifiers and two or more transmit observation receivers (370, 371, 372).

  • Patent number: 10153793
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to devices, methods, and computer programs in mobile communications in order to reduce signal distortions. Specifically, it relates to a transmitter system which comprises a plurality of signal paths. Each signal path is associated with an input transmission signal. Each signal path comprises an analog portion of the signal path. Each 5 signal path comprises a Dual-Input Digital Predistortion, DI DPD, module. The DI DPD is configured to provide a predistorted input transmission signal to the analog portion in response to a received Crosstalk and Mismatch, CTM, signal and the input transmission signal. The transmitter system further comprises one or more CTM modules configured to receive one or more input transmission signals. The CTM module comprises to separately generate for 10 each DI DPD module the CTM signal, where said CTM signals represent CTM distortions caused by one or more output transmission signals of each said analog portion.

  • Patent number: 10020574
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an antenna arrangement and a method for radio transmission. The antenna arrangement comprises a pre-coder (310) connected to an antenna array (320). The antenna array (320) comprises a number N of antenna elements ai (321), i=1, 2, . . . , N, each antenna element ai being configured to receive a respective transmit signal component TXi from the pre-coder (310). The pre-coder (310) is configured to receive a number M<N of independent data streams sj, j=1, 2, . . . , M, and to generate the N transmit signal components, wherein the generating comprises suppressing a correlation between any two transmit signal components TXi1 and TXi2 received by antenna elements ai1 and ai2 arranged adjacently in the antenna array (320).
