摘要:
The disclosure relates to an active antenna array (110) for a mobile communication system which comprises a plurality of receive paths (30), a sounding signal generator (105) generating a sounding signal (110), and a coupler (155) for coupling the sounding signal (110) into at least one of a plurality of receive paths (30). A sounding signal extractor (175) substantially removes the sounding signal (10) from digitised ones of the receive signals (120) to form a wanted signal. The disclosure also provides a method for the calibration of the receive path of the active antenna array (110).

摘要:
An active antenna array (10) for a mobile communications system is disclosed which comprises a plurality of receive paths (30-1, ..., 30-N) in which an individual one of the receive paths (30-1, ..., 30-N) is connected between an antenna element (20-1, ..., 20-N) and an analogue to digital converter (110-1, ..., 110-N) and wherein the analogue to digital converter (110-1, ..., 110-N) is adapted to digitise a receive signal to form a digitised receive signal. The active antenna array (10) further comprises a sounding signal generator (260) for generating a sounding signal in which the sounding signal is supplied to at least two of the plurality of receive paths (30-1, ..., 30-N) and a receive signal subtraction device for subtracting a wanted signal from the digitised receive signal.

摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a radio station (1) providing a digital predistortion (24) to be imposed on a payload signal (15). The digital predistortion (24) is usable as a general predistortion for several transmit paths (70-1, ..., 70-N) of the radio station (1). The radio station (1) provides coupled transmit signals (80-1, ..., 80-N) to be combined within a combiner (100) forming a common feedback signal (155). The common feedback signal (155) is relayed along a common feedback path (150). A digital predistortion update unit (22) is adapted to update the digital predistortion (24) in order to linearise a transfer characteristics of the transmit paths (70-1, ..., 70-N). The disclosure further relates to a method of digitally predistorting a payload signal (15) in order to linearise a transmit characteristics of the transmit paths (70-1, ..., 70-N).
