In response to the software instruction for the non-linear convolution function, the processor generates a weighted sum of two or more of the input delayed signal samples, wherein the weighted sum comprises a plurality of variable coefficients defined as a sum of one or more non-linear functions of a magnitude of the input delayed signal samples; and repeats the generating step for at least one time-shifted version of the input delayed signal samples to compute a plurality of consecutive outputs. The software instruction for the non-linear convolution function is optionally part of an instruction set of the processor. The non-linear convolution function can model a non-linear system with memory, such as a power amplifier model and/or a digital pre-distortion function.

    摘要: A method and system for high density pulse density modulation is disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a modulation function is split in to two band limited streams using a complementary pair of non-linear functions. More specifically, one bitstream definition contains the peaks of the original function while the other bitstream contains a soft clipping version of the original bitstream. The bitstreams are applied to a pair of switching amplifiers, and the bitstreams can be combined again to reconstruct the original function. The method in accordance with the present disclosure limits the amount of input power necessary to achieve higher output power, lowers operating voltage and improves power amplifier efficiency.

    摘要: The invention may be embodied in radio frequency power amplifier (RF-PA) predriver circuits employing a hybrid analog/digital RF architecture including a resynchronizing digital-to-analog convertor to drive an efficient high-power output stage suitable for driving standard high power amplifier (HPA) output devices. The hybrid analog/digital RF architecture retains the advantages of high digital content integration found in conventional Class-S architecture, while relaxing the performance requirements on the output transistors and on the bitstream generator. The resulting predriver circuit combines the VLSI integration benefits of digital designs with the extensibility to arbitrary output power levels characteristic of analog designs. The hybrid analog/digital driving circuit is well suited for use with analog and Class-S HPAs used in wireless communication systems, such as the Doherty type HPA.
