A wireless communication device includes: a plurality of power amplifiers provided for a plurality of respective antenna elements, each of the power amplifiers amplifying a signal; a distortion compensation unit that executes distortion compensation of a transmission signal by using an inverse function corresponding to nonlinear distortion generated in the power amplifiers; and a controller that operates by switching a first mode and a second mode, the first mode setting individual inverse functions for the respective power amplifiers in the distortion compensation unit and updating coefficients of the individual inverse functions, the second mode suspending the update of the coefficients of the individual inverse functions and setting, in the distortion compensation unit, an integrated inverse function acquired by performing weighted addition of the individual inverse functions.
PHASE AND AMPLITUDE ERROR CORRECTION IN A TRANSMISSION CIRCUIT
Phase and amplitude error correction in a transmission circuit is provided. The transmission circuit includes a transceiver circuit, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), and a power amplifier circuit(s). The transceiver circuit generates a radio frequency (RF) signal(s) from an input vector, the PMIC generates a modulated voltage, and the power amplifier circuit(s) amplifies the RF signal(s) based on the modulated voltage. When the power amplifier circuit(s) is coupled to an RF front-end circuit, unwanted amplitude-amplitude (AM-AM) and amplitude-phase (AM-PM) errors may be created across a modulation bandwidth of the transmission circuit. In this regard, in embodiments disclosed herein, the input vector is equalized based on multiple complex filters to thereby cause the AM-AM and AM-PM errors to be corrected in the transmission circuit. As a result, it is possible to reduce undesired instantaneous excessive compression and/or spectrum regrowth across the modulation bandwidth of the transmission circuit.

A set of coefficients of the antenna array may be generated. In addition, an ensemble of non-linear forward models may be generated using the accuracy confidence value and the set of coefficients. Further, an array of pre-distortion signals may be generated using the ensemble of non-linear forward models, and each antenna of the array antenna may be configured with a corresponding pre-distortion signal from the array of pre-distortion signals.
Wireless devices and systems including examples of compensating power amplifier noise with neural networks or recurrent neural networks
Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for nonlinear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.
Digital pre-distortion compensation using combined direct and indirect learning
A wireless communications system includes a pre-distortion actuator configured to receive a carrier-modulated signal and convert the carrier-modulated signal into an output signal. The system includes one or more antennas configured to receive the output signal and transmit the output signal, one or more power amplifiers electrically coupled between the pre-distortion actuator and the one or more antennas and a receiver configured to receive the output signal over-the-air and generate feedback based on the output signal. The pre-distortion actuator is configured to generate the output signal by applying a correction to the carrier-modulated signal that cancels out nonlinearities associated with the one or more antennas and/or the one or more power amplifiers. The pre-distortion actuator is configured based on the feedback.
