    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing efficient Digital Predistortion (DPD). In some embodiments, a system comprises a DPD system comprising a DPD actuator. The DPD actuator comprises a Look-Up Table (LUT), selection circuitry, and an approximate multiplication function. Each LUT entry comprises information that represents a first set of values {p1, p2, . . . , pk} and a second set of values {s1, s2, . . . , sk} that represent a LUT value of s1·2p1+s2·2p2+ . . . +sk·2pk where each value si ∈{+1 , −1} where k≥2. The selection circuitry is operable to, for each input sample of an input signal, select a LUT entry based on a value derived from the input sample that is indicative of a power of the input signal. The approximate multiplication function comprises shifting and combining circuitry that operates to, for each input sample, shift and combine bits that form a binary representation of the input sample in accordance with {p1, p2, . . . , pk} and {s1, s2, . . . , sk} to provide an output sample.

    Abstract: Distortion is effectively reduced in a wide frequency band of an output signal from an amplifier. A distortion compensation apparatus includes: a distortion compensation processing section that performs a distortion compensation process on an input signal to the amplifier, based on a first amplifier model of the amplifier, and output a compensated signal; a signal generation section that receives the compensated signal and a first digital monitor signal, and generates a second digital monitor signal; and an estimation section that estimates the first amplifier model, based on the compensated signal and the second digital monitor signal. The first digital monitor signal is a signal generated by subjecting an analog monitor signal obtained by monitoring an output signal from the amplifier, to analog-to-digital conversion. A monitor band of the first digital monitor signal is narrower than a frequency band of the compensated signal. A frequency band of the second digital monitor signal is wider than the monitor band of the first digital monitor signal, and includes signal components obtained by restoring signal components outside the monitor band, among signal components included in the analog monitor signal. The signal generation section restores the signal components outside the monitor band among the signal components included in the analog monitor signal, based on the compensated signal and the first digital monitor signal.

    Abstract: Maximum likelihood bit-stream generation and detection techniques are provided using the M-algorithm and Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filtering. The M-Algorithm is applied to a target input signal X to perform Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation on the target input signal X to produce a digital bit stream B, such that after filtering by an IIR filter, the produced digital stream Y produces an error signal satisfying one or more predefined requirements. The predefined requirements comprise, for example, a substantially minimum error. In an exemplary bit detection implementation, the target input signal X comprises an observed analog signal and the produced digital stream Y comprises a digitized output of a receive channel corresponding to a transmitted bit stream. In an exemplary bit stream generation implementation, the target input signal X comprises a desired transmit signal and the produced digital stream Y comprises an estimate of the desired transmit signal.

    Abstract: An input signal is transmitted to a component. A distortion associated with the component is determined based, at least in part, on an output signal generated by the component in response to the input signal. A distortion error measurement associated with the component is determined based, at least in part, on the distortion and the output signal generated by the component. A memory effect and the associated nonlinearity within the component are quantified based, at least in part, on the distortion error measurement.

    Abstract: A predistortion correction method, a predistortion correction apparatus, a transmitter, and a base station are provided. The method includes: performing, based on a digital predistortion model, non-linear processing on an input transmit signal to obtain higher-order distortion time-domain signals; and obtaining, after performing processing on the higher-order distortion time-domain signals, a predistortion signal to be input to a power amplifier, where a process of converting the higher-order distortion time-domain signals to the predistortion signal includes bandwidth limitation processing, so that the predistortion signal to be input to the power amplifier is a predistortion signal within a preset bandwidth. Embodiments of the present invention can ensure predistortion accuracy, and can also reduce a requirement for a bandwidth and a sampling rate of a feedback channel, thereby reducing a predistortion cost.
