    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided. The ADC includes a plurality of pipelined ADCs and an adjustment circuit. Each pipelined ADC is adapted to receive an analog input signal, has an adjustable transfer function, and includes a compensator. The adjustment circuit is coupled to each pipelined ADC to be able to adjust the transfer function for each pipelined ADC so as to generally eliminate an estimation ambiguity. Additionally, the adjustment circuit estimates an inter-stage error that includes at least one of an inter-stage gain error and a DAC gain error and adjusts the compensator for each pipelined ADC to compensate for the inter-stage error.

    摘要: A process of estimating an admittance of an RF component using a ladder network with alternating series and parallel components by making three VSWR measurements and computing three admittance circle solutions in the complex admittance plane. The admittances circles are transformed through reference planes of the ladder network to obtain three RF component admittance circles, then estimating the RF component admittance using three nearest intersections of the three RF component admittance circles. Reference planes are defined immediately upstream and immediately downstream of each component of the ladder network. The transforms are performed using lumped parameter models of the series and parallel components of the ladder network.

    摘要: Performing digital predistortion (DPD) for widely spaced narrowband signals, such as the signal used in multi-carrier GSM, can be very difficult. Here, a system is provided the performs DPD for widely spaced narrowband signals. In particular, this system uses a polynomial curve for values of a cross-correlation function (above a predetermined threshold) to determine a delay estimate, which allows for a more robust and accurate system.
