    摘要: A hybrid filter bank analog-to-digital converter includes continuous-time analysis filters and discrete-time synthesis filters. The continuous-time analysis filters partition a continuous-time wideband input signal into continuous-time subband signals. An analog-to-digital converter bank quantizes the subband signals at a low data rate. A bank of upsamplers increases the data rate of the quantized subband signals. A bank of discrete-time synthesis filters processes the upsampled subband signals, generating signals which are the discrete-time approximation of the continuous-time subband signals. The subband signals may be recombined into a discrete-time wideband signal which is the discrete-time approximation of the continuous-time wideband input signal. The linearity errors, analog-to-digital converter mismatches and quantization noise are not compounded between the frequency bands, thereby increasing resolution. The system may also include compensators for compensating for non-linear behavior in the analog-to-digital converters and may include application-specific processors for further processing of the compensated subband signals. An alternative embodiment employs discrete-time analysis filters and continuous-time synthesis filters for digital-to-analog conversion.

    摘要: A wireless communication system employs directive antenna arrays and knowledge of position of users to form narrow antenna beams to and from desired users and away from undesired users to reduce co-channel interference. By reducing co-channel interference coming from different directions, spatial filtering with antenna arrays improves the call capacity of the system. A space division multiple access (SDMA) system allocates a narrow antenna beam pattern to each user in the system so that each user has its own communication channel free from co-channel interference. The position of the users is determined using geo-location techniques. Geo-location can be derived via triangulation between cellular base stations or via a global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The system can be optimized by applying partially adaptive processing algorithms, which are seeded by geo-location data.

    摘要: The present invention provides an advanced adaptive predistortion linearization technique to dramatically reduce nonlinear distortion in power amplifiers over a very wide instantaneous bandwidth (up to 2 GHz) and over a wide range of amplifier types, input frequencies, signal types, amplitudes, temperature, and other environmental and signal conditions. In an embodiment of the invention, the predistortion linearization circuitry comprises (1) a higher-order polynomial model of an amplifier's gain and phase characteristics—higher than a third-order polynomial model; (2) an adaptive calibration technique; and (3) a heuristic calibration technique. The higher-order polynomial model is generated by introducing, for example, a plurality of multi-tone test signals with varying center frequency and spacing into the power amplifier. From the power amplifier's corresponding output, the nonlinearities are modeled by employing a higher-order curve fit to capture the irregularities in the nonlinear transfer function. Different distortion transfer functions can be implemented for different operating conditions. The adaptive calibration technique is based on a feedback analysis technique, which updates the applicable distortion transfer function by analyzing the error signal between the introduced input signal and the output signal in real-time. The heuristic calibration technique implements different distortion transfer functions based on historical operating conditions and optimal configurations of the power amplifier.

    摘要: The present invention is an improved linearizer that implements more complex transfer functions to provide the necessary linearization performance with a reasonable amount of signal processing resources. Particularly, the linearizer operates on an analog-to-digital converter and comprises a distortion compensator and one or more factored Volterra compensators, which may include a second-order factored Volterra compensator, a third-order factored Volterra compensator, and additional higher-order factored Volterra compensators. Inclusion of factored Volterra distortion compensators improves linearization processing performance while significantly reducing the computational complexity compared to a traditional Volterra-based compensator.

The compensator comprises: a mismatch estimator that monitors at least two mismatched signals output by the system with mismatches during normal operation and that generates matching parameters indicating an amount of mismatch between the at least two mismatched signals, the mismatch estimator updating the matching parameters during normal operation of the system with mismatches, and a mismatch equalizer that compensates mismatches in the mismatched signals output by the system with mismatches during normal operation of the system with mismatches in response to the matching parameters.
