    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) transmitter includes an analog RF power amplifier and a digital Dynamic Error Vector Magnitude (DEVM) correction module. The DEVM correction module compensates for time-dependent variations in an instantaneous gain of the RF power amplifier. The time-dependent variations may be variations that occur during a period the RF power amplifier is turned on. The RF transmitter may further include one or more analog baseband circuits, and one or more respective baseband digital pre-distortion (DPD) modules that compensate for amplitude modulation to amplitude modulation (AM2AM) nonlinearities in the analog baseband circuits. The digital DEVM correction module and baseband DPD modules may each include respective look-up tables having values determined by respective calibration operations.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for radio frequency digital predistortion in a multi-band transmitter are disclosed. In one embodiment, the multi-band transmitter includes a digital upconversion system configured to digitally upconvert digital input signals to provide digital radio frequency signals. Each digital input signal and thus each digital radio frequency signal corresponds to a different band of a multi-band transmit signal to be transmitted by the multi-band transmitter. The multi-band transmitter also includes a radio frequency digital predistortion system configured to digitally predistort the digital radio frequency signals to provide predistorted digital radio frequency signals, and a combiner configured to combine the predistorted digital radio frequency signals to provide a multi-band predistorted digital radio frequency signal.

    Abstract: A linear transmitter includes a closed loop feedback path to maintain linearity of a power amplifier subsystem. The closed loop feedback path provides RF injection of one or more reference RF carrier signals (172, 174) combined with a radio frequency (RF) feedback signal (149) to generate a feedback RF error signal (173). A narrowband receiver (170) continuously monitors stability of the feedback RF error signal (173). A loop phase adjusting circuit (188) generates phase adjustments (189) to compensate for instabilities in the closed loop feedback path thereby maintaining stability of the PA RF output signal (146).

    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for compensating for distortion in a transmitter by utilizing a digital predistortion scheme with a feedback mixer configuration are presented. Aspects of the system may include an RF transmitter that enables generation of an RF output signal in response to one or more generated input signals. One or more feedback signals may be generated by performing frequency downconversion on the RF output signal within a corresponding one or more feedback mixer circuits. The generated one or more feedback signals may be inserted at a corresponding one or more insertion points in an RF receiver. Each insertion point may be between a receiver mixer circuit and corresponding circuits that generate a baseband signal based on the corresponding one of the feedback signals.

    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for compensating for estimated distortion in a transmitter by utilizing a digital predistortion scheme with a single feedback mixer are presented. Aspects of the system may include at least one circuit that enables generation of an output signal in response to one or more generated input signals. A feedback signal may be generated within a single feedback mixer circuit that may perform a frequency mix-down operation on the generated output signal. The generated feedback signal may be inserted at one or more insertion points in a receiver. Each of the insertion points may be located between a mixer stage of the receiver, and one or more circuits that generate a baseband signal based on the generated feedback signal.

    Abstract: Signal timing adjustment in an amplifying device is appropriately performed by phase adjustment by a digital filter. The amplifying device includes an amplifier; an amplitude-voltage converting unit 12 that performs a desired process on a signal relating to operation of the amplifier, whereby the signal is band-broadened; and a timing adjusting unit 15a that performs timing adjustment of the signal to be provided to the amplifier, by phase adjustment by a digital filter. The timing adjusting unit 15a performs the timing adjustment of the signal at a stage before the signal is band-broadened by the amplitude-voltage converting unit 12.
