Patent number: 11641293Abstract: A method and apparatus of distortion compensation during data transmission uses an interweaved look-up table (ILUT) to mitigate residual signal distortions in a signal transmitted over a transmission link. The ILUT interweaves states across both an I and a Q tributary to calculate mean error and an extended symbol basis.
