Abstract:
A method for limiting peak-to-average power of a signal transmitted from a power amplifier. The method comprises: applying a pulse-shape filter to a first signal, thereby generating a second signal being a filtered version of the first signal; and outputting the second signal for transmission from a power amplifier. The method further comprises: applying each of a plurality of predictor filters to a respective instance of the first signal, each predictor filter approximating the application of the pulse-shape filter to the first signal based on a different respective set of filter coefficients, and each thereby generating a respective third signal. The method also further comprises determining an indicator of amplitude of each of the third signals, selecting the indicator corresponding to the largest of those amplitudes, generating a modifier based on the selected indicator, and using the modifier to limit the first signal prior to applying the pulse-shape filter.
