Adaptive Imbalances Correction in LINC Transmitters

چکیده
Abstract: The LInear amplification using Nonlinear Components (LINC) technique is a wellknown power amplifier linearization method to reduce adjacent channel interference in a nonconstant envelope modulation system. Its major drawback is the inherited sensitivity to gain and phase imbalances between the two amplifier branches. In this paper two novel adaptive fulldigital base band methods are described which correct any gain and phase imbalances in LINC transmitters. Their main advantage is the ability to track the input signal variations and adapt to the changes of amplifier nonlinear characteristics.

Adaptive LINC structure applied to power amplifier with memory effects for wideband signal transmission
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear devices and they are present in all transmitters of a communication equipment. As a result of transmitter nonlinearities, the transmitted signal spectrum expands into adjacent channels. Several linearizing techniques for power amplifiers have been proposed, but the most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity. For w...

متن کاملMarkov mode-multiplexing mode in OFDM outphasing transmitters
Outphasing transmitters have been explored to study the trade-off between linearity and efficiency. The outphasing technique enhances efficiency by operating two amplifiers at lower output amplitudes, using two constant envelope signals. Their major drawback is the inherent sensitivity to gain and phase imbalances between the two amplifier branches. Another important issue is related to the deg...
متن کاملGain and phase error-free LINC transmitter
This paper presents a new correction technique for linear amplification with nonlinear components transmitters. During the transmit mode, the algorithm modulates and filters the baseband signal as a normal signal component separator, while during the correction mode, by use of a downconversion mixer, the gain and phase imbalance are measured and compensated by introducing a correction. This sys...
متن کاملAdaptive Gain and Delay Mismatch Cancellation for LINC Transmitter
LInear amplification with Nonlinear Component (LINC) transmitter architecture is an efficient solution for high efficiency amplification of signals. Nonetheless, this solution suffers both from gain impairment and delay mismatch between the two signal paths. Indeed, a mismatch in propagation time between the paths degrades the quality of the transmit signal but also disrupts the convergence of ...
