  • Patent number: 7839214
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting signal nonlinear distortion magnitude, used for extracting and detecting the nonlinear distortion output by a radio frequency power amplifier, characterized in respectively extracting input signal and output signal, and performing square after matching the amplitudes and frequencies of the input signal and output signal respectively, obtaining respective low frequency components of the squared input signal and output signal, therefore, the carrier component of the signals can be filtered, and the low frequency components can characterize the distorted signal feature as well as facilitate handling. The present invention performs square after matching the input signal and output signal, extracts the low frequency component, and then the relativity with the frequency and bandwidth of the signal is low, therefore, the difficulty in detecting the distortion can be reduced greatly.

  • Patent number: 7756492
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a predistortion method based on vector envelope injection. The method includes the following steps: radio frequency input signals are divided into two signal streams; one input signal stream generates two envelope injection signals whose amplitudes can be adjusted independently; the other signal stream is divided into further two radio frequency signal streams; the two radio frequency signal streams are amplified with the same amplitude; frequency mixing is performed for the two envelope injection signals and two radio frequency signal streams respectively to obtain two compensation signals; the amplified radio frequency signal and compensation signals are power synthesized in the same way, so as to obtain two compensation signals and amplified radio frequency signals of different directions. This present invention also provides a corresponding predistortion device.
