  • Patent number: 7672397
    Abstract: A method for producing a transmission signal, wherein an input signal (Vd(t)), which is to be amplified, is fed to a power amplifier (PA) which outputs the signal in an amplified form (va(t)). A reproduction thereof is made and allocates a specific pre-distortion input signal (vd(t)) value to a specific input signal (vd(t)) value. A corresponding pre-distortion value is then determined for the input signal (vd(t)) and the corresponding pre-distortion value is applied to the input signal (vd(t)) in order to feed the pre-distorted input signal to the power amplifier (PA). Subsequently, the crest factor (CF) is calculated from the output signal (vd(t)) of the power (PA) and the reproduction or the value thereof if the determined crest factor departs from a predetermined range of values.

  • Patent number: 7315208
    Abstract: A method for improving the output power of a non-linear amplifier, wherein signal amplitudes of a digital baseband are predistorted and then fed at the input of the power amplifier, having a non-linear characteristic curve, in order to linearize the characteristic curve. The signal amplitudes are fed to the input of the power amplifier in a predistorted manner up to a predetermined transition power while being fed to the input of the power amplifier in a non-predistorted manner from the predetermined transition power on.

  • Patent number: 7190932
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a multimode mobile telephone that transmits and receives signals to and from various mobile radio networks contains a baseband and a transceiver unit. The transceiver unit includes a digital adaptive predistorter having a switching element. The switching element is arranged so that an optional connection is created. The optional connection connects an amplifier output to an input of a receiver causing that receiver input to be disconnected from an antenna changeover switch. This way, it is possible for the receiver to be disconnected from a transmitting and receiving antenna during periods when the receiver is not receiving signals from the transmitting and receiving antenna. While the receiver is disconnected from the transmitting and receiving antenna, the receiver is able to receive other signals.
