    Abstract: A method comprises obtaining a transmission signal to be power-amplified in a power amplifier (361) prior to transmission; separating the transmission signal into two or more polyphase components of the transmission signal; feeding one or more polyphase components of the transmission signal comprised in the two or more polyphase components to each of two or more parallel predistortion circuits (320,321,322); selecting a dedicated predistortion model and dedicated predistortion coefficients for each of the two or more parallel predistortion circuits (320,321,322); performing non-linear memory-based modeling on the transmission signal according to the selected dedicated predistortion models and coefficients using the one or more polyphase components; and combining output signals of the two or more parallel predistortion circuits (320,321,322) to form a predistorted transmission signal (y[n]) to be applied to the power amplifier (361).

    Abstract: At a current time, a current intermodulation content of a predistortion system is determined. An intermodulation ratio is determined using the current intermodulation content and a previous intermodulation content for the predistortion system. The previous intermodulation content is determined at a time previous to the current time. The determined intermodulation ratio is compared with stored intermodulation ratios. A warning is communicated in response to the comparing indicating the predistortion system is unhealthy. Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Linearizing Power Amplifiers' Outputs in Multi-Antenna System There is provided power efficient and simple structure for linearizing power amplifiers' outputs in multi-antenna beamforming systems. Beamforming factors are obtained for controlling transmission beams of the antennas in an analogue/hybrid beamforming system. At least one power amplifier model is determined on the basis of the power amplifiers' outputs and the beamforming factors. Predistortion parameters, for feeding a predistorted signal to power amplifiers for linearizing the power amplifiers' outputs, are determined such that after the operating parameters of the power amplifiers have been adjusted, errors in power amplifiers' outputs are reduced.

    Abstract: Various antennas may benefit from improved signaling. For example, it may be helpful for a signal in a high occupied bandwidth environment to be compressed using a block floating point format, which can also help to reduce power consumption. A method may include separating an incoming signal at a digital front end or a converter into two alternating signals comprising a coarse signal and a fine signal. The method may also include transmitting the coarse signal and the fine signal from the digital front end to the converter or from the converter to the digital front end. The coarse signal and the fine signal may be combined to generate an approximation of the incoming signal.

    Abstract: Enhancing the intermodulation performance of an RF power amplifier by determining a coarse time delay represented by an integer T1; determining a reference point for a transmitted signal waveform of the RF power amplifier; shifting the waveform by a set of offsets comprising a plurality of non-integer fractional steps from (T1−Xd) to (T1+Xd) where T1 is the integer and Xd is a non-integer fractional step size value for defining fractional steps about the integer T1 such that the non-integer fractional steps progress in a positive direction as well as a negative direction; correlating the transmitted signal waveform with a feedback signal waveform to obtain a respective correlation value for each of corresponding fractional steps; obtaining an accurate fractional delay value by selecting a fractional step having a highest respective correlation value; applying the obtained correct fractional delay value to the transmitted signal waveform to provide a compensated transmitted signal waveform, and combining the compensated transmitted signal waveform with the feedback signal waveform to reduce at least one intermodulation product of the RF power amplifier.
