Abstract: A signal processing method includes receiving an unknown signal that includes a distorted component and an undistorted component, and performing self-linearization based at least in part on the unknown signal to obtain an output signal that is substantially undistorted, wherein performing self-linearization includes adaptively generating a replica distortion signal that is substantially similar to the distorted component, and subtracting the replica distortion signal from the unknown signal to obtain the output signal.
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for a nonlinear filter having a nonlinear transfer function. The nonlinear filter comprises a plurality of linear filters each having a filter output, a plurality of nonlinear elements each connected to one of the plurality of linear filters, and a combination network connected to the plurality of nonlinear elements. The nonlinear elements are used to produce nonlinear effects and generate a plurality of nonlinear outputs, and the combination network combines the nonlinear outputs.
