摘要： A low cost high-efficiency all-digital transmitter using all-digital power amplifiers (“DPA”) and various mapping techniques to generate an output signal, which substantially reproduces a baseband signal at a carrier frequency. A baseband signal generator generates a baseband signal which is quantized by a signal processor using a quantization map. A DPA control mapper outputs control signals to phase selectors using the quantized signal and a quantization table. Each phase selector receives one of the control signals and outputs a waveform at a carrier frequency with a phase corresponding to the control signals, or an inactive signal. Each DPA in a DPA array has an assigned weight, receives one of the waveforms from the phase selectors, and outputs a power signal according to the weight of the DPA and the phase of the received waveform. The combined power signal substantially reproduces the baseband signal at the carrier frequency.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for conditioning communications signals based on detection of high-frequency in the polar domain. High-frequency events detected in a phase-difference component of a complex baseband signal in the polar domain are detected and used as a basis for performing hole-blowing on the complex baseband signal in the quadrature domain and/or nonlinear filtering either or both the magnitude and phase-difference components in the polar domain. Alternatively, high-frequency events detected in the phase-difference signal that correlate in time with low-magnitude events detected in a magnitude component of the complex baseband signal are used as a basis for performing hole-blowing on the complex baseband signal in the quadrature domain and/or nonlinear filtering either or both the magnitude and phase-difference components in the polar domain.

摘要： A baseband circuit for a communications transmitter includes a baseband modulator, a pulse-shaping filter, and an AMPR reduction circuit. The baseband modulator is configured to generate a sequence of symbols formatted in accordance with a non-constant envelope modulation scheme. The pulse-shaping filter is configured to band-limit the sequence of samples to provide a sequence of samples. The AMPR reduction circuit is configured to analyze and modify one or more samples in the sequence of samples, if a sample in the sequence of samples that has been previously analyzed by the AMPR reduction circuit is determined to have a magnitude less than a predetermined low-magnitude threshold.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for reducing high-frequency events in polar domain signals. An exemplary method includes first generating an unmodified rectangular-coordinate signal having in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) components that are modulated according to a predetermined modulation scheme. Next a first sample of the unmodified rectangular-coordinate signal is modified based on how close the first sample is to the origin in the complex signal plane and how fast a signal trajectory between the first sample and a subsequent sample changes. Finally, the modified rectangular-coordinate signal is converted to a polar domain signal having amplitude and phase components. By modifying the first sample in this manner, either or both the amplitude and phase components have reduced high-frequency content compared to a polar domain signal that would be generated without the first sample having been first modified.
