Abstract: Systems and methods for providing indications about the TX RF non-linear impairments are disclosed. In accordance with some implementations, a first device (UE or base station) estimates EVM indications for the signal and determines if the EVM indications is above a threshold. The first device may transmit the estimated TX non-linearity indications such as AM-AM, AM-PM, Volterra coefficients, and/or other performance metrics to a second device, that transmitted the signal, when it is determined that the EVM indications is above the threshold. Systems and methods for wireless communication impairment correction are also disclosed wherein, in accordance with some implementations, a first device receives estimated TX non-linearity indications such as AM-AM, AM-PM, and/or Volterra coefficients from a second device and performs non-linear correction of a transmit signal for the second receiver device based at least in part on the EVM indications. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for self-testing a GSM/EDGE communications device. An embodiment provides a method of measuring transmit power. A receive phase locked loop (PLL) is inserted into a feedback receiver local oscillator mixer. The receive PLL is then tuned to a local oscillator frequency. Once the tuning is complete, an I and a Q signal are captured using a channel of the feedback receiver. After capture, a I2+Q2 sum is computed, measuring the transmit power. The feedback receiver automatic gain control (AGC) may be used to determine transmit power in place of I2+Q2. The apparatus includes: a modem assembly, a power control assembly, a power amplifier, a duplexer, a coupler and a switch. The power control assembly further includes a first PLL and first and second mixers. The second mixer is connected to a feedback low noise amplifier and receives input from a feedback receiver PLL.
