Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to Cartesian control systems. Background technique
[0002] In telecommunication systems, especially in RF applications, efficient methods of linearization are required to minimize intermodulation, one reason being distortions produced by nonlinearities in power amplifiers.
[0003] In wideband systems, there are two approaches to dealing with amplifier distortion: predistortion and feedforward. Predistortion means reversibly mimicking the distortion introduced by the main amplifier and supplied to the input of the amplifier, thereby producing a constant that is completely ideally equal to power independent.
[0004] The feedforward technique basically consists of two steps. The first step is to extract the distortion introduced by the main amplifier on the signal to be amplified. This is called extracting the error signal. The second step is to invert and time-align this error signal into the output of the feedforward...
