| 20100230621 | PHOTONIC FILTERING OF ELECTRICAL SIGNALS - A filter and a method of filtering a high frequency electrical signal using photonic components is disclosed. The filter has a serially fiber-coupled laser source, a modulator, a filter, and a photodetector. The electrical signal is applied to the modulator. The modulated light propagates through the filter which is constructed to pass not only a modulated sideband, but also at least a fraction of light at the carrier frequency of the laser. The photodetector detects a signal at the beat frequency between the carrier and sideband signals, after both signals have propagated through the filter. As a result, a separate optical branch for light at the carrier frequency is not required, which considerably simplifies the filter construction and makes it more stable and reliable. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110064171 | MULTI-CARRIER AMPLIFIER LINEARIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention relates to a method and circuit for linearizing amplifiers and other nonlinear circuits for multi-carrier signals. An output signal from the amplifier is sampled, and a correlation matrix of size N×N is computed from the sampled signal, wherein N exceeds the number of multiplexed carriers in the signal. A signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) is then estimated based on a ratio of one or more largest to one or more smallest eigenvalues of the correlation matrix, and the signal into the amplifier is pre-distorted so as to maximize the SDR. | 03-17-2011 |
