Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If single frequency band processing method is used for multi-frequency band signals, then the processing can be implemented, but the calculation complexity becomes high and the pre-distortion coefficients become unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the multi-frequency band signal processing into separate frequency band processing units. Each frequency band has its own lookup table and pre-distortion coefficient set, allowing independent processing. This segmentation reduces the overall calculation complexity by avoiding joint processing of all frequency bands simultaneously, while improving coefficient stability through frequency-selective optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different pre-distortion coefficients to different frequency bands based on their specific characteristics. Each frequency band's lookup table is optimized locally for that band's signal properties, rather than using a uniform processing approach. This local optimization ensures stable and accurate pre-distortion for each frequency band while reducing global calculation complexity.
2Measurement precision
If separate lookup tables are maintained for each frequency band, then the pre-distortion accuracy improves, but the system complexity and memory requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores pre-distortion coefficients for each frequency band in separate lookup tables before actual signal processing. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly retrieve and apply appropriate coefficients during operation, improving real-time pre-distortion accuracy without increasing runtime calculation complexity or system operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates separate lookup tables for each frequency band, which are essentially copies of the pre-distortion coefficient structure tailored to specific frequency characteristics. These copied and adapted lookup tables enable frequency-specific optimization while maintaining a consistent overall system architecture, balancing accuracy improvement with manageable system complexity.
