摘要： A transmitter (32) generates a time-varying stabilized bias signal (82) from which sub-RF distortion signals (26, 29) have been cancelled. The distortion signals (26, 29) are byproducts of imperfect amplification and of biasing networks. An envelope amplifier (84) includes a high bandwidth differential input, linear, bias signal amplifier (120) and a low bandwidth switching amplifier (122) coupled together to achieve both a high bandwidth and high efficiency. A control loop (154) feeds a portion of the voltage V(t) from a conduction node (146) of the RF power amplifier (36) to one of the differential inputs of the linear bias signal amplifier (120), while a bias control signal (92) drives the other differential input. The portion of voltage V(t) fed to bias signal amplifier (120) is a low power portion from which the RF portion has been removed. A bias signal (128) may be predistorted to cancel distortion signals (26, 29).

摘要： An RF transmitter (10) includes an RF amplifier (28) that generates an amplified RF signal (36) including a linear RF signal (92) and a spurious baseband signal (94). The spurious baseband signal (94) interacts with bias feed networks (56, 66) to cause the RF amplifier (28) to generate an unwanted RF distortion at or near the allocated RF bandwidth. A baseband compensation signal (98) is generated and equalized in an adaptive equalizer (102) then fed to the RF amplifier (28). A feedback signal (46) is obtained from the RF amplifier (28) and used to drive the adaptive equalizer (102). A feedback loop causes the adaptive equalizer to adjust a baseband signal (24, 32) supplied to the RF amplifier (28) so that the RF distortion is minimized.

摘要： A transmitter (50) includes a low power nonlinear predistorter (58) that inserts predistortion configured to compensate for a memoryless nonlinearity (146) corresponding to gain droop and another memoryless nonlinearity (148) corresponding to a video signal. When efforts are taken to reduce memory effects, such as configuring a network of components (138) that couple to an HPA (114) to avoid resonance frequencies within a video bandwidth (140), high performance linearization at low power results without extending linearization beyond that provided by the memoryless nonlinear predistorter (58). A look-up table (282) has address inputs responsive to a magnitude parameter (152) of a communication signal (54), a magnitude derivative parameter (204) of the communication signal (54), and possibly one or more variable bias parameters (85). The look-up table (282) produces a gain-correcting signal (284) that adjusts the gain applied to the communication signal (54) prior to amplification. The look-up table (282) is updated in response to an LMS control loop.

摘要： A transmitter (50) includes a nonlinear predistorter (58) having two instances of an inverting transform (106, 106′) that may be implemented in a look-up table (122) and that implements a transform which is the inverse of an average terms component (96) of a nonlinear transform model (94) for an amplifier (70). The look-up table (122) may be updated using a continuous process control loop that avoids Cartesian to polar coordinate conversions. One of the two instances of the inverting transform (106) is cascaded with a non-inversing transform (108) within a residual cancellation section (110) of the predistorter (58). The non-inversing transform (108) implements a transform which is an estimate of a deviation terms component (98) of the nonlinear transform model (94). The residual cancellation section (110) produces a weak signal that replaces an unwanted residual term in an amplified communication signal (76) with a much weaker residual term.

摘要： A transmit-canceling transceiver (10) generates a heat signal (84) that estimates heating in analog components which process a transmit signal (22). An equalizer (74) having taps (77) provided by a tap update section (78) processes the transmit signal (22) for use in a cancellation operation. The tap update section (78) includes a coefficient update section (82) and a heat adjustment section (80). The coefficient update section (82) implements a feedback loop to generate coefficients (86) which are substantially unresponsive to the heat signal (84). The heat adjustment section (80) closes a feedback loop which is responsive to the heat signal (84) and generates offsets (142) that are used to adjust the coefficients (86) to compensate for heating. The loop bandwidth of the feedback loop of coefficient update section (82) is sufficiently narrow so as to be unable to track dynamic heat effects from the analog components.

摘要： An RF transmitter (10) is configured to transmit either wideband multichannel modulations or narrowband multichannel modulations in a variety of licensed frequency bands (70) using a single set of hardware. For narrowband modulations, a digital IF upconversion stage is performed so that, after upconversion to RF, image signals 74 are sufficiently displaced from the licensed frequency band (70) so as to be filtered off. For wideband modulations, no IF modulation stage occurs, and a direct upconversion takes place from baseband to RF. LO leakage is cancelled using a negative feedback loop that combines a digital DC signal with a communication signal (26, 52) prior to a direct or final analog upconversion stage (62).

摘要： An RF transmitter (10) includes an RF amplifier (22) that experiences gain-droop distortion as a result of self-heating. A heat compensator (20) is included to insert a gain boost of an amount which is the inverse of the gain droop experienced by the RF amplifier (22). The amount of gain boost is determined by generating a heat signal (88) from low-pass filtering (86) the squared magnitude (82) of a communication signal (14). The heat signal (88) is scaled by a weighting signal (68) estimated by monitoring the amplified RF signal (42) at the output of the RF amplifier (22). A nonlinear relationship section (96) then transforms the scaled signal into a gain-boost signal (94) that corresponds to the inverse of gain droop in the RF amplifier (22).

摘要： A digital communications transmitter (100) includes a digital linear-and-nonlinear predistortion section (200, 1800, 2800) to compensate for linear and nonlinear distortion introduced by transmitter-analog components (120). A direct-digital-downconversion section (300) generates a complex digital return-data stream (254) from the analog components (120) without introducing quadrature imbalance. A relatively low resolution exhibited by the return-data stream (254) is effectively increased through arithmetic processing. Distortion introduced by an analog-to-digital converter (304) may be compensated using a variety of adaptive techniques. Linear distortion is compensated using adaptive techniques with an equalizer (246) positioned in the forward-data stream (112). Nonlinear distortion is then compensated using adaptive techniques with a plurality of equalizers (226) that filter a plurality of orthogonal, higher-ordered-basis functions (214) generated from the forward-data stream (112). The filtered-basis functions are combined together and subtracted from the forward-data stream (112).
