    Abstract: Described examples provide for digital communication circuits and systems that implement digital pre-distortion (DPD). In an example, a system includes a DPD circuit configured to compensate an input signal for distortions resulting from an amplifier. The DPD circuit includes an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter configured to implement a transfer function. The IIR filter includes a selection circuit configured to selectively output a selected parameter. The transfer function is based on the selected parameter.

    Abstract: A digital predistortion (DPD) system includes an input configured to receive a DPD input signal. In some embodiments, a non-linear datapath is coupled to the input, where the non-linear datapath includes a plurality of parallel datapath elements each coupled to the input. By way of example, each of the plurality of parallel datapath elements is configured to add a different inverse non-linear component to the DPD input signal corresponding to a non-linear component of an amplifier. In various examples, a first combiner combines an output of each of the plurality of datapath elements to generate a first predistortion signal. In some embodiments, the DPD system further includes a linear datapath coupled to the input in parallel with the non-linear datapath to generate a second predistortion signal. In addition, a second combiner combines the first predistortion signal and the second predistortion signal to generate a DPD output signal.

    Abstract: A digital predistortion (DPD) system includes an input configured to receive a DPD input signal. In some examples, a non-linear datapath is coupled to the input, where the non-linear datapath is configured to add a non-linear mirror image component to the DPD input signal to provide a non-linear signal that is used to generate a first predistortion signal. In some embodiments, a linear datapath is coupled to the input in parallel with the non-linear datapath to generate a second predistortion signal. A first combiner is configured to combine the first predistortion signal and the second predistortion signal to generate a DPD output signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a PIM correction circuit. In a base station, TX and RX RF changes, band pass filters, duplexers, and diplexers can have severe memory effects due to their sharp transition bandwidth from pass band to stop band. PIM interference, generated by the TX signals and reflected onto the RX RF chain will include these memory effects. These memory effects make PIM cancellation complex, requiring complicated computations and circuits. However, the embodiments herein use a PIM correction circuit that separates the memory effects of the TX and RX paths from the memory effects of PIM, thereby reducing PIM cancellation complexity and hardware implementation cost.
