Abstract: Wireless circuitry can include a processor that generates a baseband signal, an upconversion circuit that upconverts the baseband signals to a radio-frequency signal, and an amplifier that amplifies the radio-frequency signal. A tunable delay circuit can be used to selectively delay generation of the radio-frequency signal or to delay generation of another signal intended for the radio-frequency amplifier. The tunable delay circuit can be controlled using a closed-loop delay adaptation scheme. A feedback receiver that is coupled to an output of the amplifier can be used to generate a demodulated signal. A delay error measurement circuit can be used to receive the demodulated signal, to detect a peak by monitoring when an envelope of the demodulated signal crosses a threshold level, to compute an amount of asymmetry in the detected peak, and to output a signal that is used to control the tunable delay circuit.

Abstract: Systems, circuitries, and methods for predistorting a digital signal in a transmit chain based on a predistortion function are provided. A method includes shifting a center frequency of an input signal by an offset to generate an adapted signal; predistorting the adapted signal based on a predistortion function to generate a predistorted adapted signal; reverting the shifting of the center frequency of the predistorted adapted signal by the offset to generate a predistorted signal; and causing transmission of the predistorted signal by a transmit chain.

Abstract: A circuit for generating a radio frequency signal is provided. The circuit includes an amplifier configured to generate a radio frequency signal based on a baseband signal. Further, the circuit includes a power supply configured to generate a variable supply voltage based on a control signal indicating a desired supply voltage, and to supply the variable supply voltage to the amplifier. The circuit further includes an envelope tracking circuit configured to generate the control signal based on a bandwidth of the baseband signal, and to supply the control signal to the power supply.
