Patent GB-2527816-A (GB)
Title: Improvements to digital pre-distortion processing
Inventor: HALFYARD GARY
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2014-07-03
Abstract: New predistortion coefficients calculated by the processor 13 are used to update the existing coefficients in the predistorter with a weight that depends on the average amplitude of the input signal during the signal capture interval. The weight may be one or zero, or a number between one and zero. Greater weight is applied when the input signal has a large amplitude, because a large amplitude signal will experience greater distortion and so yield more effective predistortion coefficients. A smaller weight is applied when the signal amplitude is low, so that at least some updating of the coefficients is performed even when there has been an absence of high amplitude signals. The capture interval may be triggered when the input signal exceeds 7 an adaptive threshold 6 based on the peaks 5 of the input signal.
