  • Patent number: 11588520
    Abstract: A method for predistortion including receiving a plurality of input signals forming a multiple-input signal in a multiple-input multiple-output system, generating a pre-distorted multiple-input signal from the received multiple-input signal, generating a multiple-output signal by feeding the pre-distorted multiple-input signal into a multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter, estimating impairments generated by the multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter, the impairments including nonlinear crosstalk between distinct ones of the plurality of input signals; and adjusting the pre-distorted multiple-input signal to compensate for the estimated impairments.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220077825
    Abstract: A digital Doherty amplifier compromises a baseband signal processing block including a digital predistortion unit, a digital signal distribution unit and a digital phase alignment unit; a signal up-conversion block, an RF power amplification block, the RF power amplification block including the carrier amplifier and one or two peaking amplifiers; and a RF Doherty combining network. In another aspect, a digital Doherty amplifier compromises a baseband signal block including a digital predistortion unit, a digital signal distribution unit and an adaptive digital phase alignment unit; a signal up-conversion block; a signal up-conversion block, the signal up-conversion block including three digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and a tri-channel up-converter or three single-channel up-converters; a RF power amplification block, the RF power amplification block including the carrier amplifier and two peaking amplifiers; and an RF Doherty combining network which includes quarter wavelength impedance transformers.

  • Patent number: 8837629
    Abstract: An extended bandwidth digital Doherty transmitter includes a baseband signal processing block including a digital predistortion unit. It also includes a digital signal distribution unit and a digital phase alignment unit, a signal up-conversion block, an RF power amplification block including the carrier amplifier and one or two peaking amplifiers; and an RF Doherty combining network. In another aspect, a digital Doherty transmitter includes a baseband signal block including a digital predistortion unit, a digital signal distribution unit and an adaptive digital phase alignment unit. In this aspect a signal up-conversion block includes three digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and a tri-channel up-converter or three single-channel up-converters. There is also an RF power amplification block including the carrier amplifier and two peaking amplifiers, and an RF Doherty combining network which includes quarter wavelength impedance transformers.
