Title: Indicating the position of a next declaration statement in object code when declaring a variable object code
Inventor: TAILOR MAHENDRA
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2007-07-24
Abstract: There is described a method of compiling source code for a computer program into corresponding object code. The source code includes several declared variables. The method comprises, for each declared variable in the source code, including in the object code a declaration statement indicating an associated memory location for that variable and also indicating the position in the object code of the next declaration statement. During compilation, the memory location for each declared variable can be retrieved from the object code by examining each declaration statement in turn, using the position information from each declaration statement to locate the next declaration statement. This is of particular advantage where the available volatile memory is limited, because there is no requirement for a look-up table of variables against memory locations.

Title: An adaptive predistorter for a power amplifier
Inventor: BRICE JAMES
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2008-11-17
Abstract: The coefficients 111 for a predistorter 102 are stored in a memory 126 and updated by a Kalman filter 124 in dependence on the output of block 122, which provides an estimate of the predistorted signal 107 required to reduce the error between the input and output signals 106,108 of the amplifying system 102,104. To prepare the estimate, block 122 adjusts the input signal from input buffer 112 according to at least the direction of the error between the input and output signals. The Kalman filter updates the coefficients such that the predistorter output approaches the estimate while maintaining the coefficients as close as possible to the stored values. Advantageously, there is no need to determine the magnitude of the input and error signals. Prior art techniques can be slow and difficult to implement. Volterra coefficients may be used. Memory effect may be modelled.
