More specifically, clipping noise is introduced into each of the individual carrier signals prior to application of the beamforming weight vectors, as well as prior to carrier modulation, thereby causing the beamforming weight vectors to be applied to both the signal and the clipping noise. As a result, variations between the signal antenna pattern and the clipping noise antenna pattern are reduced, which mitigates and/or reduces low SNR spatial locations in which the signal would have been drowned out by the clipping noise under conventional CFR. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140270016 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR BEAM STEERING CREST FACTOR REDUCTION (CFR) CLIP NOISE - Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and/or amplifier performance can be improved in crest factor reduction (CFR) applications by steering clipping noise in a different direction than the data signal achieving upon reception. Indeed, using clipping noise signals that have a different amplitude-phase relationship than the input/baseline signal causes the clipping noise signal and data signal to exhibit different antenna patterns, effectively steering the clipping noise in a different direction than the data signal. For instance, clipping noise can be steered away from potential receivers to improve received signal quality. In addition, higher magnitude clipping noise can be used to achieve improved power amplifier performance without increasing received SNR. | 09-18-2014 |
