20100308910 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREDICTIVE OVER-DRIVE DETECTION - A method and apparatus for efficient drive level selection for, e.g., power amplifiers utilized within a wireless communication system, which utilizes digital predistortion (DPD) to adaptively and predictively select drive level. The DPD, e.g., increases the power amplifier's efficiency while maintaining spectral mask compliance within the designated frequency band of transmission. The method first determines a peak amplitude of an undistorted waveform that is to be transmitted and then predicts the maximum power that is to be transmitted by the power amplifier after the undistorted signal has been predistorted. An over-drive metric is then calculated based upon the predicted drive level of the power amplifier, which indicates whether or not the cascade of the predistorter and the power amplifier is predicted to operate linearly. The over-drive metric may then be used to ensure optimal power amplifier performance, thereby eliminating the need to use overly conservative power amplifier drive settings. | 12-09-2010 |
