    摘要: Facilitating the reduction and/or mitigation of spatial emissions in a multi antenna wireless communications system is provided herein. A system can comprise a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations that can comprise applying a first signal linearization to a first output signal of a first power amplifier based on a determination that an adjacent channel leakage ratio of the first output signal of the first power amplifier fails to satisfy a defined output value. The operations can also comprise applying a second signal linearization to a group of output signals of a group of power amplifiers for a defined azimuth direction associated with channel frequencies of the group of output signals and applying a third signal linearization to the group of output signals for a defined elevation direction associated with the channel frequencies of the group of output signals.

    摘要: An uplink multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) transmitter apparatus includes a transmitter chain that includes a sigma-delta circuit that creates a summed (sigma) signal and a difference (delta) signal from two original signals to be transmitted. These new sigma and delta signals are amplified by power amplifiers to a desired output level before having two signals reconstructed from the amplified sigma and amplified delta signals by a second circuit. These reconstructed signals match the two original signals in content but are at a desired amplified level relative to the two original signals. The reconstructed signals are then transmitted through respective antennas as uplink signals. By employing this uplink MIMO transmitter apparatus, it is possible to use smaller power amplifiers, which may reduce footprint, power consumption, and costs of the uplink MIMO transmitter apparatus.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) transmitter includes an analog RF power amplifier and a digital Dynamic Error Vector Magnitude (DEVM) correction module. The DEVM correction module compensates for time-dependent variations in an instantaneous gain of the RF power amplifier. The time-dependent variations may be variations that occur during a period the RF power amplifier is turned on. The RF transmitter may further include one or more analog baseband circuits, and one or more respective baseband digital pre-distortion (DPD) modules that compensate for amplitude modulation to amplitude modulation (AM2AM) nonlinearities in the analog baseband circuits. The digital DEVM correction module and baseband DPD modules may each include respective look-up tables having values determined by respective calibration operations.

    摘要: The non-linear behavior of power amplifier is linearized using a pre-distorter that is adaptive to changes in the behavior of the power amplifier and uses an artificial neural network. According to embodiments presented here, the pre-distorter's artificial neural network is model-trained from time to time to learn the inverse of the transfer function of the power amplifier by using a second pre-distorter modeling system. The second modeling system determines the parameters of the inverse of the transfer function of the power amplifier using a least square method by using the (un-distorted) output signal samples of the power amplifier. Using the output of the second system as output to train the neural network enables the neural network to more successfully linearize the power amplifier's behavior. Furthermore, the trained artificial neural network as the pre-distorter can be implemented in hardware and presents a small form factor.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention is a time-delay invariant predistortion approach to linearize power amplifiers in wireless RF transmitters. The predistortion architecture is based on the stored-compensation or memory-compensation principle by using a combined time-delay addressing method, and therefore, the architecture has an intrinsic, self-calibrating time-delay compensation function. The predistortion architecture only uses a lookup table to conduct both the correction of non-linear responses of a power amplifier and the compensation of any time-delay effects presented in the same system. Due to the time-delay invariant characteristic, the predistortion design has a wider dynamic range processing advantage for wireless RF signals, and therefore can be implemented in multi-carrier and multi-channel wireless systems.
