subtracting linear impairments for non-linear impairment digital pre-distortion error signal

摘要

Example embodiment of the systems and methods of linear impairment modeling to improve digital pre-distortion adaptation performance includes a DPD module that is modified during each sample by a DPD adaptation engine. A linear impairment modeling module separates the linear and non-linear errors introduced in the power amplifier. The linear impairment model is adjusted during each sample using inputs from the input signal and from a FB post processing module. The linear impairment modeling module removes the linear errors such that the DPD adaptation engine only adapts the DPD module based on the non-linear errors. This increases system stability and allows for the correction of IQ imbalance inside the linear impairment modeling, simplifying the feedback post-processing.
