Problems solved by technology

Power control to mobile units can also result in average transmit power typically 30dB to 50dB below peak power and a corresponding reduction in efficiency
In mobile and handheld applications, this lower power efficiency in transmit mode can seriously affect reliability due to, for example, thermal issues and limited battery life in handheld devices
Switching PAs are often used with pure frequency / phase modulation schemes to achieve high efficiencies, but switching PAs for OFDM systems is not straightforward

Abstract

Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a digital transmitter may comprise two or more phase modulators in a cascaded arrangement. The phase modulators may modulate a local oscillator signal using control signals derived from the quadrature baseband data to be transmitted. A closed loop power control feedback arrangement may be used to compare the output power of the transmitter with a desired output signal, and make corrections to the output signal by modifying at least one of the control signals provided to the cascaded phase modulators.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication. Background technique [0002] Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become the modulation of choice for higher data rate wireless communication links for Personal Area Network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN) and Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) networks. OFDM waveforms have magnitude and phase information, requiring linear amplifiers in transmitter power amplifiers (PAs), which are generally less efficient. The effective peak-to-average power ratio, typically 1OdB to 15dB, further reduces the average efficiency of such OFDM transmitters. Power control to the mobile unit can also result in an average transmit power typically 30dB to 50dB below the peak power and a corresponding decrease in efficiency. In mobile and handheld applications, this lower power efficiency in transmit mode can severely impact reliability due to, for example, thermal issues and limited battery life of ...
