    Abstract: A linearised power amplifier including a predistorter and a feedforward circuit is described. By using both a predistorter and a feedforward cancellation system the linearisation of the amplifier is increased. The accuracy of the amplified signal may be further improved by training the predistorter using the error signal produced by the feedforward cancellation system. Improved accuracy in the lineariser results in a reduction in the power requirement of the error amplifier and a relaxation in the phase, amplitude and delay accuracy of the feedforward loop.

    Abstract: A delay mismatched feed forward power amplifier is disclosed. Loop 1 includes a main amplifier (215) and is used to derive a carrier cancelled sample of the main amplifier output. Loop 2 includes an error amplifier (400) used to amplify the carrier cancelled signal derived from Loop 1 operation in order to cancel distortion products generated due to the nonlinear nature of the main amplifier. Loop 2 also utilizes a very short Loop 2 delay line (225). A significant efficiency gain is provided due to reduced output power losses associated with the Loop 2 delay line (225). Lower output losses also results in lower distortion levels produced by the main amplifier (215). This, in turn, reduces the size and performance requirements placed on the error amplifier (400). A smaller and more efficient error amplifier (400) is employed resulting in further amplifier system efficiency improvement. The delay mismatch is compensated by a third control loop, a special adaptive control algorithm or a combination thereof.

Loop 2 includes an error amplifier (400) used to amplify the carrier cancelled signal derived from Loop 1 operation in order to cancel distortion products generated due to the nonlinear nature of the main amplifier (215). Loop 2 also utilizes a very short Loop 2 delay line (225). A significant efficiency gain is provided due to reduced output power losses associated with the Loop 2 delay line (225). Lower output losses also results in lower distortion levels produced by the main amplifier (2.15). This, in turn, reduces the size and performance requirements placed on the error amplifier (400). A smaller and more efficient error amplifier (400) is employed resulting in further amplifier system efficiency improvement. A spurious signal detector (805) for out-of-band distortion detection and an associated microcontroller (810) for Loop 1 and Loop 2 control are also provided. A third signal cancellation loop is utilized to sample the amplifier output and reduce the carrier level of the signals sampled at the output of the amplifier before providing the sampled output to the spurious signal detector (805). By significantly reducing the carrier power level relative to distortion power levels a cost effective spurious signal detector (805) can be utilized. This also provides a faster conversion time in Loop 2 cancellation and enhanced cancellation of out-of-band distortion products due to a greater useful dynamic range available for the DSP (817) employed in the spurious signal detector (805).
