Embodiment Construction

[0058] Preferred embodiments of the invention shown in the accompanying drawings will now be described in more detail. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings and specification to refer to the same or like parts. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it would not obscure the subject matter of the present invention.

[0059] Before describing the invention in detail, it should be noted that a digital predistorter according to the invention can be used to compensate for mutually different nonlinear characteristics and memory effects generated by multiple sources of distortion generation during amplification by multiple amplifiers, wherein the The Doherty amplifier is described below as an example.

[0060] Figure 7a is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the digital predistorter according to the fi...

Abstract

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for linearizing a power amplifier using a digital signal process (DSP), and particularly, is a method and apparatus for effectively linearizing an amplifier which has a plurality of distortion generating sources. To this end, there is a plurality of compensation methods and compensation units which can generate inverse distortion signals corresponding to the distortion components outputted by the plurality of distortion generating sources, thereby making it possible to provide superior linearity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for linearizing power amplifiers, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for efficiently linearizing power amplifiers having multiple sources of distortion generation. Background technique [0002] Recently, power amplifiers in mobile communication systems are required to amplify signals efficiently and with high linearity characteristics. Furthermore, next generation mobile communication systems utilize complex modulation schemes in order to transmit a large amount of data to users in a short time. [0003] Consequently, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the signal increases. Typically, to provide linear amplification, the power amplifier operates at a back off point that is equal to or greater than the signal's peak-to-average power ratio. [0004] However, at this point, the power amplifier exhibits rather low efficiency characteristics. This is due to the fact that the heat v...
