    摘要: An antenna array of a base station is calibrated using outbound traffic signals. The antenna array includes a number of sub-arrays. A combiner in the antenna array combines the outbound traffic signals in the sub-arrays into a feedback signal. The outbound traffic signals are captured simultaneously for use as reference signals before the outbound traffic signals enter transmit paths in a radio unit of the base station. Each of the reference signals is one of the outbound traffic signals that is to be transmitted via one of the sub-arrays. An impairment estimator of the base station estimates the impairment for each of the outbound traffic signals based on the feedback signal and the reference signals. An approximate inverse of the impairment estimation is applied to the outbound traffic signals by a number of equalizers before the outbound traffic signals enter the transmit paths.

    摘要: Peak power reduction in transmit chains of frequency hopping, multi-band radiocommunication devices is performed. Filtering and, optionally, interpolation of a signal being processed for peak power reduction can be performed only in an error signal path or in both an error signal path and a primary signal path. Alternatively, a sufficiently high sample rate can be used in support of error signal generation.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for frequency domain peak power reduction on a plurality of orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) signals in a communications system, wherein frequency domain processing of at least one OFDM signal carrier is iteratively performed to reduce peak power transmissions. OFDM signal carriers can include both in-band sub-carrier signals, and guard-band sub-carrier signals. Each iteration of peak power reduction takes as an input the frequency domain representation of the signal from the previous iteration that has been altered with respect to an error signal also represented in the frequency domain, determines an error signal (in the frequency domain), and subtracts this from the input to produce a further peak power reduced frequency domain signal. If there are no peaks above the configured peak power reduction threshold, then the signal passes through the FPPR iterations with no change.
