    摘要: A linearization device (380) is disclosed, which is configured to determine pre-distortion parameters associated with a plurality of non-linear amplifiers (331, 332, 333, 334). Each of the non-linear amplifiers is associated with one of a plurality of transmit antenna elements and with a non-linear transfer function defining an output of the non-linear amplifier based on an input of the non-linear amplifier and based on a reflection signal for the non-linear amplifier, resulting from mutual couplings among the plurality of transmit antenna elements. The linearization device comprises a first port (381), a second port (382), and determination circuitry (383). The first port is configured to receive a plurality of channel coefficients indicative of channel characteristics of a plurality of communication paths between the plurality of non-linear amplifiers and two or more transmit observation receivers (370, 371, 372). Each transmit observation receiver is configured to receive a sum of transmission signals generated by the plurality of non-linear amplifiers and transferred over the communication paths between the plurality of non-linear amplifiers and the transmit observation receiver. The second port is configured to receive the sums of transmission signals from the transmit observation receivers. The determination circuitry is configured to determine the pre-distortion parameters based on the received plurality of channel coefficients, the received sums of transmission signals, and a model of the non-linear transfer functions of the non-linear amplifiers.

    摘要: There is provided mechanisms performed by a control device for suppressing interference in a received reception signal in a radio transceiver device. The radio transceiver device is configured to receive the reception signal as a radio reception signal and to generate a radio transmission signal. The radio transmission signal and the radio reception signal occupy at least partly non-overlapping frequency bands. A method comprises obtaining a transmission reference signal based on the radio transmission signal. The method comprises estimating an interference distortion component signal based on the transmission reference signal and on a model of nonlinearity in a radio circuit of the radio transceiver device. The method comprises suppressing interference in the reception signal by combining the reception signal with the distortion component signal.
