Linearization Of Radio Frequency Transceivers And Test Systems Through Dynamic Extraction Of Complex Nonlinear Models Thereof

View page
US Patent:
20150118971, Apr 30, 2015
Filed:
Jul 11, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/328898
Inventors:
- Austin TX, US
Christopher J. Behnke - Austin TX, US
Syed Jaffar Shah - Austin TX, US
International Classification:
H04W 24/06
US Classification:
455 6714
Abstract:
Dynamic characterization of complex high-order nonlinearity in transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) signal chains of transceiver systems can be efficiently and accurately performed. A loopback connection may be used to facilitate self-characterization. Appropriate RX and TX configuration settings may be developed to facilitate de-coupling of individual RX and TX nonlinearities from measured cascade nonlinearity. The system's high-order response to a two-tone signal generation may be measured, and complex mathematical analysis may be performed to identify and isolate passband nonlinear components to extract a high-order memory-less model for the system. The extracted system model may be used in the corrective and non-iterative pre-distortion of generated signals and in the post-distortion of received signals to improve linearity performance of the transceiver. The memory-less model and the analytical system are effective in improving performance of class-A-amplifier-based signal chains that are common in test and measurement systems and channel emulation systems.

Correction Of I/Q Impairments In Transmitters And Receivers

US Patent:
20140247902, Sep 4, 2014
Filed:
Mar 5, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/198407
Inventors:
- Austin TX, US
Christopher J. Behnke - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION - Austin TX
International Classification:
H04B 15/00
US Classification:
375296, 375350
Abstract:
Communication devices and associated methods for reducing I/Q impairments in signals used by the communication devices are described. A transmitter device may perform filtering (or matrix multiplication) on digital I and Q signals to pre-correct them before converting them into analog I and Q signals. The pre-correction may pre-compensate for I/Q impairments which have not been introduced yet, but which will subsequently be introduced during digital-to-analog conversion, I/Q modulation, or other processing that occurs to produce a transmission signal from the original digital I and Q signals. A receiver device may receive a transmission signal, produce digital I and Q signals from the received signal, and perform filtering on the digital I and Q signals to correct I/Q impairments at a plurality of frequency offsets.
