    Abstract: An apparatus compensates nonlinearities in envelope tracking (ET) used in a mobile device by limiting a bandwidth of an envelope signal representing an envelope of an input baseband signal to be less than a bandwidth of tracker circuitry, generating a scaled replica of an output signal of the tracker circuitry based on the bandwidth-limited envelope signal, and generating a model distortion signal based on the scaled replica and the input baseband signal, where the model distortion signal emulates ET linearity degradation. The apparatus is further configured to generate an output baseband signal based on the scaled replica, the model distortion signal, and the input baseband signal, where the output baseband signal is pre-distorted relative to the input baseband signal according to the scaled replica, the model distortion signal, and the input baseband signal to compensate for degradations in transmit signal quality due to ET nonlinearities.

    Abstract: An apparatus for a mobile communication device adapted for digital pre-distortion that includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory of the processor. The processor receives a first input signal and also receives a first output signal from a power amplifier that is based on the first input signal. The processor additionally varies compression applied to a second input signal based on the first output signal of the power amplifier, generates a distortion compensation vector for the second input signal based on the first output signal of the power amplifier, and also varies an input excitation signal supplied to the power amplifier based on the first output signal of the power amplifier.
