    Abstract: Apparatus and method for linearizing narrowband carriers with low resolution predistorters are provided. The method includes amplifying, using a power amplifier, one or more broadcast carriers and linearizing, using a predistorter coupled to the power amplifier, the one or more broadcast carriers. The method also includes determining, using an electronic processor, a composite bandwidth of the one or more broadcast carriers and determining, using the electronic processor, whether the composite bandwidth is below a modulation bandwidth of the predistorter. The method further includes controlling, using the electronic processor, a pacification carrier generator coupled to the electronic processor to combine a pacification carrier with the one or more broadcast carriers when the composite bandwidth is below the minimum modulation bandwidth of the predistorter.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for dynamically linearizing multi-carrier power amplifiers. In one example, the method includes storing a correction set including a plurality of correction solutions and loading the correction set into an RF power amplifier linearizer. The method includes determining a first carrier configuration of an RF transmitter during a first timeslot of operation of the RF transmitter and sending a first correction solution index to the RF power amplifier linearizer. The first correction solution index corresponds to a first correction solution of the plurality of correction solutions. The method also includes determining that a carrier configuration change is initiated to operate the RF transmitter with a second carrier configuration during a second timeslot of operation of the RF transmitter and sending a second correction solution index to the RF power amplifier linearizer. The second correction solution index corresponds to a second correction solution of the plurality of correction solutions.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises an in-phase-quadrature (IQ) signal amplifier having an IQ baseband input, an IQ mixer input connected to the IQ signal amplifier, a carrier leakage detector connected to outputs of the IQ mixer, and a carrier-null offset signal generator connected to the carrier leakage detector. The IQ mixer is configured to be driven by an IQ carrier signal. The carrier leakage detector is configured to output an in-phase leakage level measurement and a quadrature leakage level measurement in the absence of an IQ baseband signal at the IQ baseband input. The carrier-null offset signal generator is configured to (i) inject an in-phase carrier-null offset signal based on the in-phase leakage level measurement and (ii) inject a quadrature carrier-null offset signal based on the quadrature leakage level measurement.
