    Abstract: A communication unit having a transmitter and method of harmonic distortion content reduction is described. The transmitter is configured to operate in a training mode of operation and a normal transmission mode of operation. The transmitter includes a signal generator; a digital predistortion, DPD, circuit; and a first frequency shift circuit to frequency shift a signal for transmission in a first frequency direction. A feedback path and a second frequency shift circuit frequency shifts a fed back power amplified predistorted signal portion in a second frequency direction opposite to the first frequency direction. A calibration engine, receives and compares a digital baseband signal representative of a signal for transmission with the fed back power amplified predistorted signal portion shifted in the second frequency direction to determine at least one DPD compensation value only during a training mode of operation.

    Abstract: Examples of front-end modules, apparatuses and methods for coupling compensation in a closed-loop digital pre-distortion (DPD) system are described. The closed-loop DPD circuit may include a PA and a loopback path. The PA may receive a PA input signal and amplify the PA input signal to provide a PA output signal proportional to a product of the PA input signal and a gain of the PA. The loopback path may receive the PA output signal to output a loopback signal. A forward coupling and a backward coupling may exist between the PA input signal and an output of the loopback path. The output of the loopback path may be proportional to a product of the PA output signal and a gain of the loopback path. The loopback path may include a coupling cancellation mechanism configured to cancel couplings between the PA input signal and the loopback signal.

    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for estimating scattering parameters of a two-port network are provided. The electronic device includes a two-port network, a directional coupler, an input calibration kit placed in front of the two-port network, an output calibration kit placed behind the two-port network, and a control switch connected between the directional coupler and the two-port network. The directional coupler transmits a desired signal and receives a forward signal and a reverse signal from the two-port network. When the control switch is turned off, input calculation results are calculated according to the forward signal and the reverse signal by controlling the input calibration kit. When the control switch is turned on, output calculation results are calculated according to the forward signal and the reverse signal by controlling the output calibration kit. The scattering parameters are estimated according to the input calculation results and the output calculation results.
