摘要:
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter has at least one digital signal processing module and at least one power amplifier module. The digital signal processing module includes at least one digital pre-distortion component arranged to receive at least one complex input signal, perform two-dimensional non-uniform mapping of the complex input signal to a first, in-phase, digital pre-distortion control word and a further, quadrature, digital pre-distortion control word, and output the in-phase and quadrature pre-distortion digital control words. The power amplifier module includes a first, in-phase, array of switch-mode power cells and at least one further, quadrature, array of switch-mode power cells. The two-dimensional non-uniform mapping has a pre-distortion profile at least partly based on an input/output relationship for the power amplifier module arranged to generate an analog RF signal based at least partly on the in-phase and quadrature digital pre-distortion control words.

A radio frequency (RF) transmitter including at least one digital signal processing module is described. The at least one digital signal processing module is arranged to receive a complex digital input signal, successively apply pre-distortion to the received complex digital input signal with a progressively finer granularity, simultaneously progressively increase a sampling rate of the received complex digital input signal, and output a first, in-phase digital control word and a second, quadrature, digital control word for controlling at least one digital power amplifier component to generate an RF signal representative of the received complex digital input signal.

A transceiver capable of IQ mismatch compensation on the fly and a method thereof. The transceiver comprises a transmitter circuit and a loop-back circuit. The transmitter circuit is configured to up-convert a modulation signal on the fly to generate a first RF signal. The loop-back circuit is configured to down-convert the first RF signal and then digitize the down-converted first RF signal to determine a first IQ mismatch parameter based on a first statistical measure of the digitized down-converted RF signal. The transmitter circuit is further configured to compensate for first IQ mismatch in the transmitter circuit according to the first IQ mismatch parameter to generate an IQ compensated modulation signal.
