The predistortion method comprises the steps of: providing a reference input waveform to the DUT; deriving a predistorted waveform for the DUT based on the reference input waveform using an iterative direct digital predistortion technique; analyzing a relationship between the reference input waveform and the calculated predistorted waveform using a mathematical model; deriving a predistortion algorithm for the DUT based on said analysis; and applying said predistortion algorithm to an input signal and feeding the, thus, predistorted input signal to the DUT.

Transceiver circuitry in an integrated circuit device includes a receive path including an analog front end for receiving analog signals from an analog transmission path and conditioning the analog signals, and an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the conditioned analog signals into received digital signals for delivery to functional circuitry, and a transmit path including a digital front end configured to accept digital signals from the functional circuitry and to condition the accepted digital signals, and a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the conditioned digital signals into analog signals for transmission onto the analog transmission path. At least one of the analog front end and the digital front end introduces distortion and outputs a distorted conditioned signal. The transceiver circuitry further includes distortion correction circuitry at the one of the analog front end and the digital front end, to determine and apply a distortion cancellation function to the distorted signal.

According to one configuration, a system includes a first wireless station in communication with a second wireless station. A phase noise predictor model such as associated with the first wireless station receives phase noise information. The phase noise information captures an estimate of: i) first phase noise associated with a first wireless station, and ii) second phase noise associated with a second wireless station. Based on the received phase noise information, the predictor produces phase noise adjustment information. The predictor applies the phase noise adjustment information to adjust (compensate) a signal of the first wireless station. Adjustment of the signal results in phase noise adjustment with respect to both the first phase noise associated with the first wireless station and the second phase noise associated with the second wireless station.

Communication systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention utilize modulation on zeros. Carrier frequency offsets (CFO) can result in an unknown rotation of all zeros of a received signal's z-transform. Therefore, a binary MOCZ scheme (BMOCZ) can be utilized in which the modulated binary data is encoded using a cycling register code (e.g. CPC or ACPC), enabling receivers to determine cyclic shifts in the BMOCZ symbol resulting from a CFO. Receivers in accordance with several embodiments of the invention include decoders capable of decoding information bits from received discrete-time baseband signals by: estimating a timing offset for the received signal; determining a plurality of zeros of a z-transform of the received symbol; identifying zeros from. the plurality of zeros that encode received bits by correcting fractional rotations resulting from the CFO; and decoding information bits based upon the received bits using a cycling register code.

An amplifier of a transmitter includes an input that receives an input signal and generates an amplified signal at an output. A digital power meter is coupled to the input of the amplifier, generates an estimated amplified signal, and determines peak and average powers of the estimated amplified signal. An output power detector coupled to the output of the amplifier determines peak and average powers of the amplified signal. A controller coupled to the digital power meter and the output power detector determines an estimated crest factor based on the peak and average powers of the estimated amplified signal, an amplified crest factor based on the peak and average powers of the amplified signal, and an error vector magnitude based on the estimated and amplified crest factors. The controller, which is also coupled to the amplifier, then adjusts operation of the amplifier based on the error vector magnitude.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability message indicating a capability of the UE to perform bandwidth-limited envelope tracking or a capability of the UE to compensate for bandwidth-limited envelope tracking distortion. The UE may receive a request for the UE to activate bandwidth-limited envelope tracking or a request for the UE to compensate for bandwidth-limited envelope tracking distortion. In some examples, the UE may transmit an uplink message using a bandwidth-limited envelope tracking configuration. In other examples, the UE may receive a downlink message and use digital post distortion (DPoD) to correct bandwidth-limited envelope tracking distortions in the downlink message. Aspects of the present disclosure may enable the UE to use bandwidth-limited envelope tracking and DPoD for wideband signal transmissions, which may result in lower power consumption at the UE.
