    Abstract: A transmit circuit operated with time-interpolated digital pre-distortion (DPD) coefficients to improve adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) performance during a power mode change is provided. The transmit circuit includes a DPD circuit configured to operate with a first DPD coefficient according to a first transmit power level of a transmit power amplifier of the transmit circuit. The transmit circuit further includes a DPD coefficient management engine configured to retrieve a second DPD coefficient corresponding to the second transmit power level. The transmit circuit further includes a DPD coefficient time-interpolation engine configured to compute a set of time-interpolated DPD coefficients corresponding to a set of time instants for a transient period when the transmit power amplifier is adapted to the second DPD coefficient.

    Abstract: A digital predistortion (DPD) system includes an input configured to receive a DPD input signal. In some embodiments, a non-linear datapath is coupled to the input, where the non-linear datapath includes a plurality of parallel datapath elements each coupled to the input. By way of example, each of the plurality of parallel datapath elements is configured to add a different inverse non-linear component to the DPD input signal corresponding to a non-linear component of an amplifier. In various examples, a first combiner combines an output of each of the plurality of datapath elements to generate a first predistortion signal. In some embodiments, the DPD system further includes a linear datapath coupled to the input in parallel with the non-linear datapath to generate a second predistortion signal. In addition, a second combiner combines the first predistortion signal and the second predistortion signal to generate a DPD output signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe adapting a PIM model to compensate for changing PIM interference. A PIM model can include circuitry that generates a PIM compensation value that compensates for (i.e., mitigates or subtracts) PIM interference caused by transmitting two or more transmitter (TX) carriers in the same path. The disclosed adaptive scheme generates updated coefficients for the PIM model which are calculated after the RX signal has been removed from the RX channel. In this manner, as the PIM interference changes due to environmental conditions (e.g., temperature at the base station), the adaptive scheme can update the PIM model to generate a PIM compensation value that cancels the PIM interference.

    Abstract: A digital predistortion (DPD) system includes an input configured to receive a DPD input signal. In some examples, a non-linear datapath is coupled to the input, where the non-linear datapath is configured to add a non-linear mirror image component to the DPD input signal to provide a non-linear signal that is used to generate a first predistortion signal. In some embodiments, a linear datapath is coupled to the input in parallel with the non-linear datapath to generate a second predistortion signal. A first combiner is configured to combine the first predistortion signal and the second predistortion signal to generate a DPD output signal.
