| 20120092067 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LINEARIZING A NON-LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER - An apparatus and method for linearizing a non-linear power amplifier. The method comprises: performing an iteration algorithm by using a desired output signal of the non-linear power amplifier, to calculate an input signal of the non-linear power amplifier, whereby with the calculated input signal of the non-linear power amplifier, the non-linear power amplifier is linearized. The apparatus and method can produce a signal on the output of the non-linear power amplifier with an arbitrarily high quality of performance. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120032739 | DIGITAL PREDISTORTION CIRCUIT WITH EXTENDED OPERATING RANGE AND A METHOD THEREOF - A digital predistortion circuit and method with extended operating range includes a predistortion function, a D/A converter, a multiplier for performing frequency translation and a power amplifier. The digital predistortion circuit includes a multiplier for receiving a signal to be transmitted and a gain correction factor, multiplying the gain correction factor with the signal to be transmitted, and outputting a result of the multiplication to the predistortion function, as well as a device for calculating the gain correction factor by using a predetermined reference gain and an estimated gain of the power amplifier, and outputting the calculated gain correction factor to the multiplier, whereby a gain of the power amplifier is quickly corrected. The digital predistortion circuit and the method thereof produce acceptable results for a more expanded range of TX power levels. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120020429 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR CLIPPING POWER LOSSES - An apparatus and method for compensating for transmit power losses that are caused by the addition of a clipping or crest factor reduction module in the TX path of a communications system. The method includes applying a gain to a signal input into the crest factor reduction module, so that a power of a signal output from the crest factor reduction module is equal to a power of a signal output from a baseband signal generation module in the TX chain. The apparatus and method have the benefit that the peaks of the signal to be transmitted will be consistent over a wide range of TX power values. | 01-26-2012 |
