  • Patent number: 12212352
    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing multiband digital predistortion in a broadband transmitter in a manner that provides effective compensation of non-linear distortion arising from integration of a high-power amplifier (HPA). Embodiments segment the signal spectrum of a transmit signal into multiple sub-band signals and apply non-linear distortion compensation separately and concurrently for each sub-band signal. The resulting multi-band digital predistortion (mDPD) compensates both for in-band distortion and for distortions from non-linear interactions between the frequency sub-bands. The disclosed mDPD can provide enhanced performance features, such as handling of memory effects, reduced sampling rate requirements for DPD components, and minimizing detrimental spectral regrowth at the HPA output.

  • Patent number: 12199751
    Abstract: A wireless receiver in 5G and 6G can localize message faults by defining “exclusion regions” that do not include any of the predetermined allowed modulation states of a modulation scheme. Then, upon receiving a message, the receiver can measure (or calculate from the I and Q branch amplitudes) the received amplitude and phase of the waveform signal in each message element. If either the received amplitude or the received phase is within any of the exclusion regions, the receiver determines that message element is faulted. If the received amplitude and received phase are not within any of the exclusion regions, the message element is demodulated according to the closest modulation state. In addition, the receiver can increment an amplitude fault tally and a phase fault tally according to which parameter-amplitude or phase-is inside the exclusion regions, thereby greatly simplifying recovery of the message without a retransmission.
