20100183093All-Digital Multi-Standard Transmitters Architecture Using Delta-Sigma Modulators - The present disclosure is concerned with a digital transmitter using Delta-Sigma modulators (DMSs) that uses an up-sampler and modulator block that follows the DSMs to generate the RF equivalent of the baseband signal to be transmitted. The up-sampler and modulator block is simple to implement and contains only one or a few multiplexers implemented in high speed logic technology.07-22-2010
20100316157MULTI-CELL PROCESSING ARCHITECTURES FOR MODELING AND IMPAIRMENT COMPENSATION IN MULTI-INPUT MULTI-OUTPUT SYSTEMS - The present invention relates to a method for multiple-input multiple-output impairment pre-compensation comprising: receiving a multiple-input signal; generating a pre-distorted multiple-input signal from the received multiple-input signal; generating a multiple-output signal by feeding the pre-distorted multiple-input signal into a multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter; estimating impairments generated by the multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter; and adjusting the pre-distorted multiple-input signal to compensate for the estimated impairments. The present invention also relates to a pre-compensator for use with a multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter, comprising: a multiple-input for receiving a multiple-input signal; a matrix of pre-processing cells for generating a pre-distorted multiple-input signal from the received multiple-input signal; and a multiple-output for feeding the pre-distorted multiple-input signal to the multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter. The pre-processing cells are configured so as to estimate impairments generated by the multiple-input and multiple-output transmitter and adjust the pre-distorted multiple-input signal to compensate for the estimated impairments.12-16-2010
20110273187PASSIVE SOURCE AND LOAD-PULL ARCHITECTURE FOR HIGH REFLECTION FACTOR SYNTHESIS - An enhanced loop in a passive tuner consists of an extremely low loss coupler and a high directivity circulator. In the case of source reflection factor synthesis, a passive loop generates an additional incident traveling wave. This wave, added to the primary incident traveling wave, augments the traveling wave and thus increases the magnitude of the synthesized reflection factor at the source port of a device, such as a transistor. In the case of load reflection factor synthesis, the passive loop augments the initial reflected traveling wave by pumping an additional traveling wave. This additional traveling wave helps in synthesizing a higher load reflection factor at the load port. This architecture is capable of high reflection factor synthesis that enables load synthesis even on the border of the Smith chart. There is no problem of instability with the architecture of the present invention.11-10-2011

20150236731DIGITAL MULTI-BAND PREDISTORTION LINEARIZER WITH NONLINEAR SUBSAMPLING ALGORITHM IN THE FEEDBACK LOOP - A concurrent multi-band linearized transmitter (CMLT) has a concurrent digital multi-band predistortion block (CDMPB) and a concurrent multi-band transmitter (CMT) connected to the CDMPB. The CDMPB can have a plurality of digital baseband signal predistorter blocks (DBSPBs), an analyzing and modeling (A&M) stage, and a signal observation feedback loop. Each DBSPB can have a plurality of inputs, each corresponding to a single frequency band of the multi-band input signal, and its output corresponding to a single frequency band; each output connect corresponding to an input of the CMLT. The A&M stage can have a plurality of outputs connected to and updating the parameters of the DBSPBs, and a plurality of inputs connected to either both outputs of the signal observation loop or the output of the subsampling loop and to outputs of the DBSPBs. The A&M stage can perform signals' time alignment, reconstruction of signals and compute parameters of DBSPBs.08-20-2015
20150244402SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED TRANSMITTER EFFICIENCY - A method for distortion compensation in a transmission link comprising obtaining information of an amplitude distribution of a signal prior to being transmitted by a transmitter, receiving the transmitted signal at a receiver and determining a received signal amplitude distribution, comparing the received signal amplitude distribution to the amplitude distribution of the signal prior to transmission and using results of the comparison to estimate the AM/AM non-linearity in the transmitter.08-27-2015
