    • Two or more digital-input RF amplifiers are configured in parallel such that a combiner combines their respective outputs to generate a relatively large composite RF output signal. A feedback control architecture minimizes the phase differences between the various amplifier outputs so that the outputs can be efficiently combined. The feedback control can measure the return loss for each amplifier to determine how to adjust each amplifier's phase. In some embodiments, the feedback control can also measure the composite RF output signal for use in phase adjustment. In certain implementations, phase adjustment is implemented by an iterative coarse phase-adjustment mode (e.g., based on either the return loss or the composite output signal) followed by an iterative fine phase-adjustment mode (e.g., based on the return loss).
    • 两个或多个数字输入RF放大器并联配置,使得组合器组合它们各自的输出以产生相对较大的复合RF输出信号。 反馈控制架构最小化各种放大器输出之间的相位差,从而可以有效地组合输出。 反馈控制可以测量每个放大器的回波损耗,以确定如何调整每个放大器的相位。 在一些实施例中,反馈控制还可以测量用于相位调整的复合RF输出信号。 在某些实施方案中,相位调整通过迭代粗略相位调整模式(例如,基于回波损耗或复合输出信号)实现,随后是迭代精细相位调整模式(例如,基于回波损耗)。

    • A power amplifier's complex pre-distortion curve is generated by decomposing a representation of an input signal, processing the resulting decomposed signals using analog techniques, and performing signal re-composition. In one implementation, two different halves of a transfer function corresponding to the amplitude characteristics of the amplifier are separately modeled and then combined to generate a control signal used to control a voltage-controlled attenuator that attenuates the input signal, while two different halves of a transfer function corresponding to the amplifier's phase characteristics are separately modeled and then combined to generate a different control signal used to control a voltage-controlled phase shifter that adjusts the phase of the input signal. The resulting output signal corresponds to an amplitude-and-phase pre-distorted signal that can be applied to linearize a corresponding (high power) amplifier.

    • An input signal having amplitude information is pre-distorted and converted into two pre-distorted signals without amplitude information. The two pre-distorted signals are separately amplified and then recombined to generate a linearized amplified output signal having amplitude information. The pre-distortion and conversion may be implemented using a pre-distorter and a LINC modulator. Alternatively, the pre-distortion and conversion may be implemented in circuitry that combines the functions of a pre-distorter and a LINC modulator. The amplified, pre-distorted signals are preferably combined using circuitry that provides at least some impedance matching, such as a transformer or a transmission line tee with transmission line stubs.

    • Pre-distortion, whose magnitudenulland preferably phasenullare frequency-dependent, is applied to an input signal in order to reduce spurious emissions resulting from subsequent amplification of the signal. In preferred embodiments, the pre-distortion technique of the present invention is implemented in combination with the (frequency-independent) magnitude and phase pre-distortion technique described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/395,490 (nullthe '490 applicationnull), where the frequency-dependent pre-distortion corresponds to amplifier distortion that has a magnitude that is proportional to the frequency offset from the carrier frequency and a phase shift of null90null on either side of the carrier frequency. The frequency-dependent pre-distortion is generated by differentiating waveforms corresponding to pre-distortion parameters with respect to time and then applying the resulting differentiated pre-distortion parameters to the input signal. Depending on the implementation, the waveforms may be differentiated in either the analog or digital domain.

    • In a receiver of a transmission system in which the data transmission rate is not an integer multiple of the spacing between transmission channels, a single oscillator is used to generate both the system clock used to process the data signal as well as the mixing signal used to downconvert the received RF signal to an intermediate frequency (IF). The frequency error in the IF signal that results from mixing the RF signal at a less-than-ideal mixing frequency is compensated by selecting an appropriate mixing signal frequency applied when downconverting the IF signal to baseband. In a transmitter, the mixing signal frequency used to upconvert the outgoing baseband signal to IF is selected to pre-compensate for the frequency error resulting from upconverting the IF signal to RF using a less-than-ideal mixing frequency. In either case, the receiver/transmitter can be implemented without having to provide a dedicated reference oscillator for converting signals between RF and IF.

    • The insertion phase or delay of an amplifier can be controlled by comparing signals from the amplifier path with signals from a corresponding reference path without requiring the overall signal delay through the reference path to nominally match the overall signal delay through the amplifier path. Amplifier and reference path signals can be combined to form a combined signal whose power is detected using a narrow-band, frequency-selective power detector. For given phase and delay offsets between the amplifier and reference paths, cancellation (i.e., perfectly destructive interference) will occur at a series of different frequencies. By operating the power detector at one of these cancellation frequencies, a variable phase or delay adjuster in the amplifier path can be controlled to minimize the detected power level in order to achieve a desired level of insertion phase for the amplifier, without having to implement an expensive delay element in the reference path.

    • Signal handling equipment, such as a high power amplifier, is implemented with feed-forward compensation circuitry that adjusts the effective operation of the equipment (e.g., linearizes the amplifier). The compensation circuitry includes (i) a nulling loop, which generates an error signal based on the output from the amplifier, and (ii) an error loop, which generates, based on the error signal, a feed-forward compensation signal that is added to the output of the amplifier. The compensation circuitry is tuned by tuning the nulling loop and then iteratively tuning the error loop based on data generated by perturbing the tuning of the nulling loop. In one implementation, data corresponding to the amplitude of the output signal is analyzed to generate metric values that are used to iteratively adjust the tuning of the error loop.

    • The signal generated by a high-power amplifier (HPA) operating in its non-linear region is linearized by an amplifier circuit using feed-forward compensation in which an auxiliary channel relies on a model of the HPA to generate an auxiliary signal that is combined with the HPA output to generate an amplified linearized output signal. The amplifier circuit may be implemented with a pre-distorter in the main amplifier channel to linearize the HPA using both pre-compensation and feed-forward compensation. Using the HPA model in the auxiliary channel enables the auxiliary signal to be generated without directly relying on the HPA output. This enables the amplifier circuit to be implemented without having to delay the high-power HPA output signal prior to being synchronously combined with the auxiliary signal. In preferred embodiments, the auxiliary channel signal is generated using a relatively low-power amplifier operating in its linear region.
