Patent ID: 11843353

Abstract:
An autotuning controller is provided for improving power efficiency and linearity of digital power amplifiers (DPAs). The controller includes an interface including input and output terminals connected to the DPAs, the interface being configured to acquire input signals and output signals, a digital pre-distortion (DPD)-DPA adaptive controller including a processor and a memory running and storing a DPD algorithm, an efficiency enhancement method and a learning cost function. The DPD adaptive controller is configured to perform steps of computing DPD coefficients to define a learning cost function based on a DPD model by use of a data-driven optimization method, wherein the leaning cost function includes both variables of a DDA performance and a DPD performance, updating the learning cost function based on the DPD performance, optimizing the updated learning cost function by solving the updated learning cost function with respect to the variables of the DDA performance, and providing optimal parameters for DPA and DPD via the interface.
