11 results about "Crest factor" patented technology

Crest factor is a parameter of a waveform, such as alternating current or sound, showing the ratio of peak values to the effective value. In other words, crest factor indicates how extreme the peaks are in a waveform. Crest factor 1 indicates no peaks, such as direct current or a square wave. Higher crest factors indicate peaks, for example sound waves tend to have high crest factors. Crest factor is the peak amplitude of the waveform divided by the RMS value of the waveform.

Overload protection method for audio power amplifier

The invention discloses an overload protection method for an audio power amplifier, and relates to the field of audio power amplifiers. According to the invention, the instantaneous output amplitude signal of the power amplifier is divided by the preset overload threshold impedance to obtain the reference current dynamically changing along with the signal, and the actual output current is compared with the reference current in real time, so that the protection criterion is converted from a fixed current threshold to an adaptive impedance threshold; therefore, real-time identification and turn-off of a low-impedance abnormal load are realized, and normal output of a high-peak-factor audio signal is compatible.

Crest factor reduction cancellation pulse having a reduced length

Techniques are disclosed for the use of Crest Factor Reduction (CFR) technique that utilizes a cancellation pulse signal having a reduced length. The CFR technique may be applied to a signal to be transmitted, which may comprise a composite signal having one or more carrier signals. Each carrier signal of the composite signal may be filtered via a respective channel filter and then recombined to form the signal to be transmitted, on which the CFR operations are then applied. The length of the cancellation pulse signal is less than the number of taps of the channel filter with the largest number of taps. This reduction in cancellation pulse signal length significantly reduces the processing power required to perform the CFR operations while maintaining regulatory emissions compliance.

Method for Evaluating a Multi-Channel Signal Generator

Methods and systems for performance assessment of a multichannel signal generator including a plurality of transmit channels. Configuration information is sent to the multichannel signal generator. An amplitude and phase is determined for a plurality of tones, and the tones are distributed over the transmit channels. Each transmit channel generates a periodic modulated signal comprising its respective tone. The generated periodic modulated signals are combined in a combined signal. The amplitudes and phases are determined so that the combined signal has a crest factor below a given threshold level. The combined signal is measured, based on the configuration information, and aligned relative to a reference combined signal. Individual tones are extracted from the aligned combined signal, and a relative delay and / or a phase offset is determined for at least two transmit channels by comparing the extracted individual tones with corresponding individual tones extracted from the reference combined signal.

Channel oriented noise shaping

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may determine channel quality, and may shape frequency domain noise (e.g., crest factor reduction (CFR) related noise) to locations in which channel quality is poor. For example, by shaping channel noise to frequency resources with poor channel quality (e.g., instead of uniformly distributing such channel noise), transmissions may be more reliable, and quality on other frequency resources may be improved (e.g., without negatively impacting the quality of communications via frequency resources that already have a low channel quality), resulting in improved dynamic range of the signal (e.g., peak to average power ratio (PAPR)), which means that power efficiency is improved.

System and method for crest factor reduction with a restricted peak regrowth

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for crest factor reduction (CFR) with a restricted peak regrowth. The system receives a complex signal from a physical layer (PHY) of a base station equipped with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The system uses a coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) to convert the complex signal into a polar form. Further, the system utilizes an advanced interpolation processing (AIP) technique to minimize the peak regrowth that can happen in an x4 (digital up- conversion (DUC) in the later stage of a downlink chain. Hence, a teething problem of peak growth due to DUC process is restricted to a limited regrowth in the proposed CFR design. Further, the CFR design can operate multiple multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels by multiplexing in time domain which further reduces resource utilization.
