| 20120286863 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DIGITAL PREDISTORTION FOR POWER AMPLIFIERS WITH DYNAMIC NONLINEARITIES - Power amplifiers (PAs) using a Doherty or other power output level sensitive configuration have been employed for several years in telecommunications (as well as other applications) to take advantage of efficiency gains. For many of these applications, baseband signals are predistorted to compensate for nonlinearities in the PAs, but because there is a “switching event” in a Doherty-type amplifier (for example), the nonlinearities become dynamically varying. As a result, digital predistortion (DPD) becomes increasingly difficult to perform. Here, DPD modules are provided that adapt to changes in dynamically varying PAs based on a determination of the average power or other relevant metric prior to transmission. | 11-15-2012 |

| 20100158166 | Noise Injection Circuit and Method for Signal Processing - A signal processing circuit is configured to calculate a gain ratio to efficiently reduce a peak to average signal ratio for an input signal by identifying signal peaks and determining the signal peak magnitudes. A window function in combination with the gain ratio is applied to a portion of the input stream having a peak signal to create a cancellation pulse to be applied to that peak signal. The cancellation pulse phase is aligned with the signal phase, thereby causing minimal phase distortion in the resultant output signal and accurate peak cancellation. The cancellation pulse can also include a finite impulse response filter portion to efficiently handle wide bandwidth signals. The hardware may be configured to process multiple signal streams in parallel to reduce hardware requirements. An algorithm can determine the effect of multiple corrections to the input stream to avoid overcorrection in the signal processing process. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110080216 | Systems and Methods of Power Amplifier Digital Pre-Distortion - 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. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20120134399 | Systems and Methods of Improved Power Amplifier Efficiency Through Adjustments in Crest Factor Reduction - Crest factor reduction algorithms described herein may be used to improve power amplifier efficiency during low signal power conditions compared to traditional static threshold techniques. Techniques described herein insure that the signal power level at the output of the crest fact reduction block is held constant relative to the input power level under all signal power level conditions. Two different solutions may be implemented together or separately to achieve the desired conditions. The first technique provides constant ratio between input power and output power. Constant ratio of peak and average output levels keeps the amount of crest factor reduction applied to the signal constant, irrespective of the signal power level. A second technique is to hold signal power level constant in respect to the amount of crest factor reduction applied. | 05-31-2012 |
