A METHOD FOR DATA TRANSMISSION USING A LINC AMPLIFIER, A LINC AMPLIFIER, A TRANSMITTING DEVICE, A RECEIVING DEVICE, AND A COMMUNICATION NETWORK THEREFOR

摘要

The invention concerns a method for transmission of a data signal from a transmitting device (BS) to a receiving device (RAH1) using a LINC amplifier (LINC1, LINC2) for signal amplification, wherein the data signal is represented by two phase modulated signal components of constant amplitude in a first part of the LINC amplifier (LINC1, LINC2) located in the transmitting device (BS), at least one of the two phase modulated signal components of constant amplitude is transmitted over at least one optical connection (OF1, OF2, OF4) from the transmitting device (BS) to the receiving device (RAH1), and the at least one of the two phase modulated signal components of constant amplitude is converted from an optical signal into an electrical signal in at least one opto-electrical converter (OE1, OE2) located in said receiving device (RAH1), a LINC amplifier, a transmitting device, a receiving device, and a communication network therefor.
