Systems and methods for providing an envelope tracking supply voltage
Envelope tracking power supply circuitry includes a look up table (LUT) configured to provide a target supply voltage based on a power envelope measurement. The target supply voltage is dynamically adjusted based on a delay between the power envelope of an RF signal and a provided envelope tracking supply voltage. The envelope tracking supply voltage is generated from the adjusted target supply voltage in order to synchronize the envelope tracking supply voltage with the power envelope of the RF signal.

UNIVERSAL MEMORY-BASED MODEL FOR NONLINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER BEHAVIORS
A method for modelling a power amplifier, including memory effect modelling, for general input waveforms and power levels involves generating an extraction waveform having a plurality of tones each having a different frequency, a difference between the frequencies of two adjacent tones of the plurality of tones not being an integer multiple of a difference in frequency between any two other adjacent tones of the plurality of tones. The method further involves providing the extraction waveform to the power amplifier, receiving output from the power amplifier generated in response to the extraction waveform, and generating a model of the power amplifier based on the output.
Crosstalk correction using pre-compensation
In a system, known digital representations are generated, and test analog signals are generated using the known digital representations. The test analog signals are transmitted using a transmitter of a transmission system. The test analog signals are received using a receiver of the transmission system and used to generate test received digital representations. The test received digital representations are cross-correlated with the known digital representations to generate a mixing matrix. The mixing matrix is inverted to generate a de-mixing matrix, which is applied to subsequent digital data to be encoded onto a signal and transmitted by the transmitter to generate pre-compensated digital data.

Direct digital synthesis of signals using maximum likelihood bit-stream encoding
Maximum likelihood bit-stream generation and detection techniques are provided using the M-algorithm and Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filtering. The M-Algorithm is applied to a target input signal X to perform Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation on the target input signal X to produce a digital bit stream B, such that after filtering by an IIR filter, the produced digital stream Y produces an error signal satisfying one or more predefined requirements. The predefined requirements comprise, for example, a substantially minimum error. In an exemplary bit detection implementation, the target input signal X comprises an observed analog signal and the produced digital stream Y comprises a digitized output of a receive channel corresponding to a transmitted bit stream. In an exemplary bit stream generation implementation, the target input signal X comprises a desired transmit signal and the produced digital stream Y comprises an estimate of the desired transmit signal.
