Correction of specific intermodulation products in a concurrent multi-band system
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for selectively compensating for a specific Intermodulation Distortion (IMO) product(s) of an arbitrary order in a transmitter system. In some embodiments, a method of compensating for one or more specific IMO products in a concurrent multi-band transmitter system comprises generating an IMO correction signal for a specific IMO product as a function of two or more frequency band input signals for two or more frequency bands of a concurrent multi-band signal, the IMO product being an arbitrary order IMD product. The method further comprises frequency translating the IMD correction signal to a desired frequency that corresponds to a Radio Frequency (RF) location of the specific IMO product and, after frequency translating the IMO correction signal to the desired frequency, utilizing the IMO correction signal to compensate for the specific IMO product.
Controller for an electromechanical transducer
A controller for an electromechanical transducer is provided. The controller comprises driving means operable to actuate a mechanical output of the transducer; impedance cancelling means operable to at least partially cancel an electrical impedance of the transducer; and linearising means between an input of the controller and the driving means. The linearising means are operable to generate an output signal by modifying an input signal of the linearising means to compensate for nonlinear behaviour of the transducer. The linearising means are operable to receive one or more state signals indicative of one or more state variables of the transducer, the one or more state signals comprising a velocity signal indicative of a velocity of the mechanical output of the transducer.
