  • Patent number: 9749161
    Abstract: A predistortion method and apparatus are provided which use a DPD actuator (225) to apply a memory polynomial formed with first DPD coefficients to a first input signal x[n], thereby generating a first pre-distorted input signal y[n] which is provided to the non-linear electronic device (253) to produce the output signal, where the memory polynomial may be adaptively modified with a digital predistortion adapter (224) which computes second DPD coefficients u[n] with an iterative fixed-point conjugate gradient method which uses N received digital samples of the first pre-distorted input signal y[n] and a feedback signal z[n] captured from the output signal to process a set of conjugate gradient parameters (u, b, v, r, ?, ?, ?) at each predetermined interval, thereby updating the first DPD coefficients with the second DPD coefficients u[n] generate a second pre-distorted input signal which is provided to the non-linear electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9252821
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are used to predistort input signal samples according to Volterra Series Approximation Model using one or more digital predistortion blocks (300) having a plurality of predistorter cells (301-303), each including an input multiplication stage (366-367) for combining absolute sample values received from an absolute sample delay line (362) into a first stage output, a lookup table (368) connected to be addressed by the first stage output for generating an LUT output, and a plurality of output multiplication stages (371-372, 373-374) for combining the LUT output with samples received from the amplitude sample delay line (362) and signal sample delay line (363) to generate an output signal sample yQ from said predistorter cell, where the output signal samples yQ from the predistorter cells are combined at an output adder circuit (375) to generate one or more Volterra terms of a combined signal (yOUT[n]).
