  • Publication number: 20110317786
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a transmission channel response and a feedback channel response from a plurality of composite system responses are disclosed. A plurality of shifted feedback signals are created by shifting a feedback signal frequency by a plurality of first offset values and/or by shifting a transmission signal frequency by a plurality of second offset values. The feedback signals are compared to an input signal to identify the transmission channel response and/or a feedback channel response. A control signal is generated for a pre-distortion circuit to modify the input signal by an inverse of the transmission channel response. The composite system response is measured at a plurality of operating frequencies and at the plurality of offset values. The measurements are stored in a matrix and singular value decomposition is applied to the matrix of measurements to calculate the transmission channel response and feedback channel response.

  • Publication number: 20110080216
    Abstract: Systems and methods for power amplifier pre-distortion are provided. The systems and methods of power amplifier digital pre-distortion disclosed herein may include a generic pre-distorter architecture which can implement a variety of Volterra cross terms involving single dimension convolutions (first order dynamics). For hardware implementations, this generic pre-distorter is further fine-tuned to provide a choice between different sets of cross terms that can be selected for a given PA for optimal performance. The novel pre-distorter architecture provides flexibility to trade off memory depth for additional Volterra terms and vice versa. A further novelty is the ability to trade off both memory depth and cross terms for a higher sample rate operation, which may enable higher order non-linear pre-distortion, or support for higher signal bandwidths. A poly-phase non-linear filtering mode allows for this flexibility.
