Digital Pre-Distortion

 

Adaptive NON-LINEAR Digital Pre-Distortion: 

 

Faststream Technologies presents both Adaptive Nonlinear & Linear-Digital Pre-Distortion methods. Reducing or compensating for the nonlinear distortion from a nonlinear system is becoming an important need in many areas. Here a wide class of nonlinear systems adaptive digital pre-distortion techniques are presented. For estimating the coefficients of the pre-distorter, different learning architectures like the DLA( Direct Learning Architecture) and ILA(Indirect Learning Architecture) are considered. In the DLA approach, we propose a new adaptation algorithm – the Nonlinear Filtered of x Prediction Error Method (NFxPEM) algorithm, which can work for much better completion and much faster convergence in contrast to the traditional Nonlinear Filtered of x Least Mean Squares algorithm. All of these time domain adaptive algorithms require accurate system identification of the nonlinear system.

 

Signal Processing for Ultra-Wideband Transceivers

 

Here standardized and non-standardized UWBS and its implementation approaches are presented. These implementation approaches comprise The signal processing algorithms(SPA) to achieve the processing of ultra wide-band systems signals for transceiver front-ends as well as digital back-ends. With hybrid filterbank transceivers parallel position in the frequency domain can be achieved. The systematized MB-OFDM signaling strategy permits parallelization in the frequency domain by dispersing the OMM(orthogonal multicarrier modulation) to the multiple units. Moreover, the response of the channel to the wideband signals has been parallelized in the frequency domain and the consequences of the parallelization have been scrutinized. The declining of slight performance is observed, where the limiting effects are shortened sidelobes and filter discrepancy in analog front-ends. Performance losses measurement has been defined. For UWB signal generation, a novel broadband signal generation attitude is presented.

Adaptive LINEAR Digital Pre-Distortion:

 

In Digital Pre-Distortion, a Digital Pre-Distortion can adapt to receive a digital input signal and output. An adaptive Pre-distorted digital signal, the digital Pre-distorter comprises the followings:

 

  • An input coupled to receive the digital input signal;
  • A first signal path coupled to the input;
  • The second signal path of Adaptive digital distortion coupled with the parallel input with the above said first signal path, encompassing a first digital pre-distorter circuit yielding a first pre-distortion signal. Whereas first digital pre-distorter circuit comprises a detector providing a signal related to the magnitude of the digital input signal and a Look-Up Table of gain error corrections indexed by said signal related to the magnitude of the digital input signal;
  • The third signal path, connected in a pair to the parallel input with the above said first as well as the second signal path, incorporated with the second digital pre-distorter circuit bestowing with a polynomial based pre-distortion operation on the input signal and supplying a second pre-distortion signal; A combiner circuit receives and combines the outputs of the first and second digital pre-distorter circuits with the output of the first signal path to provide a Pre-distorted digital output signal.
