摘要:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for linear envelope elimination and restoration transmitters that are based on the polar modulation operating in conjunction with the orthogonal recursive predistortion technique. The polar modulation technique enhances the battery life by dynamically adjusting the bias level. Further, the analog orthogonal recursive predistortion efficiently corrects amplitude and phase errors in radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) and enhances the PA output capability. Additionally, even-order distortion components are used to predistort the input signal in a multiplicative manner so that the effective correction bandwidth is greatly enhanced. Also, the predistortion scheme, which uses instantaneously feed-backed envelope distortion signals, allows for correction of any distortion that may occur within the correction loop bandwidth, including envelope memory effects.

System and methods are provided for multi-path orthogonal recursive predistortion. The systems and methods may include generating a first orthogonal signal and a second orthogonal signal, where the first and second signals are orthogonal components of an input signal and processing, at a first predistortion module, the first orthogonal signal and a first error correction signal to generate a first predistorted signal. The system and methods may also include processing, at a second predistortion module, the second orthogonal signal and a second error correction signal to generate a second predistorted signal, and providing the generated first and second predistorted signals to a nonlinear device, where the nonlinear device generates an output based upon the first and second predistorted signals, where the first error correction signal is determined based upon an analysis of the output and the first predistorted signal, and where the second error correction signal is determined based upon an analysis of the output and the second predistorted signal.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a linear polar transmitter. The systems and methods may include generating an input amplitude signal and an input phase signal, where the input amplitude signal and the input phase signal are orthogonal components of an input signal, and where the input amplitude signal and the input phase signal are generated on respective first and second signal paths. The systems and methods may also include processing the input amplitude signal along the first signal path using an amplitude error signal to generate a predistorted amplitude signal, and processing the input phase signal along the second signal path using an phase error signal to generate a predistorted phase signal. The systems and methods may also include providing the predistorted amplitude signal along the first signal path and the predistorted phase signal along the second signal path to a power amplifier to generate an output signal, where the amplitude error signal is generated from a comparison of at least an amplitude portion of the output signal with the predistorted amplitude signal and where the phase error signal is generated from a comparison of at least a phase portion of the output signal with the predistorted phase signal.

Systems and methods for provided for linearization systems and methods for variable attenuators. The variable attenuators can include series transistors along a main signal path from the input to output, as well as shunt transistors. A bootstrapping body bias circuit can be used with one or of the series transistors to allow the body of a connected transistor to swing responsive to a received RF input signal. As the RF signal increases and affects the gate-to-source voltage difference of a transistor, a bootstrapping body bias circuit can adaptively adjust the threshold voltage of the connected transistor and compensate the channel resistance variation resulting from gate-to-source voltage swing. The bootstrapping body bias circuit can be implemented using passive elements, active elements, or a combination thereof.
