    Abstract: Described herein are systems with switchable circuitry configured to selectively couple transmitter outputs to processing hardware, which may selectively route subsets of distortion measurements from transmitters for DPD processing that compensates for the measured distortion. The switchable nature of the distortion measurement propagation paths permits the paths to be made substantially shorter than static paths, resulting in improved (e.g., reduced and/or more uniform) attenuation and/or phase change across a transceiver array. In one example, measurement propagation paths may be no longer than a row or column of the array. In some embodiments, systems described herein may be suitable for implementation at mmW transmit and/or receive frequencies, where the length of measurement paths may have a significant impact on attenuation and phase changes.
